So now you have a server this post has reached the end of the cul de sac.

Quote from Crazy Harry :www.audi.de, online configurator.

Illuminated passengers room is forbitten in "normal" cars. I don´t like that new cars seems to be able to do everything. Same goes to an electric handbrake.

Oops, my new passat has both of those. Remind me not to offer you a ride anywhere. The passat is a fine well built car in its class but its boring to drive. A good workhorse. And it costs me nothing.
that new merc however looks like a shocking design error - virtually a citroen with a different badge photoshopped onto the front. What were you thinking of, guys?!?

Distortion: Do you mean stretching? If you try running a 4:3 monitor in a 16:10 mode you need to use widescreen effect which gives you a black border top and bottom, aka Grand Prix Legends.
17" 4:3 monitors will not like running at 1680 x 1050 though.

Gerat. A draw. Mind if I leave the champagne on ice? I was expecting an earth shattering victory. Like E N G L A N D v Russia for example!

I think the best place to start is buy the full S2 game so you can access all features and content, before you can start looking at writing your own add-on insim programs.

yes but is there a point? Like earning money for access to other cars? Isn't the introduction of a competitive theme a contradiction to a relaxing few laps round FE green at 50mph?

Marvellous! "Gaming is like playing with gravel on the highway of life but at least there's violence and t!ts."

I'd like a two-layered option for easliy and quickly getting a reasonalbe setup from scratch, like EA's F1 method, gears, downforce, ride height, all the main things, then to be able to go a layer deeper for access to all the fancy tweaks I never bother adjusting like sastor and bump/rebound, etc. I think it would help ease new players into experimenting more with basic parameter tweaking then into more advanced ones.

I think its his cryptic way of pointing out your post is not in the right section, this is for general lfs discussions, not a help page for 3dsmax.

LOL, these are great, love the nighttime sheep counting - what an inspired concept. Lego sorting is also excellent fun.

And this looks quite promising:

Great work, one of my favourite and most prolific lfs skinners.
Only pity about the irritating pop-up ads on the site.

+1, love the FF in Netkar, esp the feel of understeer entering a corner, you can really get an idea of the front tyres being pushed into the corner. This has a lot to do with the sound feedback as well.

I think once you lost the deep shadow all the depth and the dynamics of the picture was lost and you ended up with a flat 2d image which looks like a painting but without any depth. I'd stick with the first one. Image effects have to remain very subtle or they easily look forced or too false, unless of course, that is your goal.

I'm not a fan of the cruise servers but here they award you points for letting old ladies cross the road and good hand signals. When you have enough points you can buy a better car. After a year or so you can afford the XFG. Well it's something like that - the server limits your access to the full range of vehicles depending on how much time you spend driving there. Nothing to do with the LFS software.

seems very unrealistic to have to switch from clutch to brake function for a pedal by pressing a button on the wheel.
Shop for a cheap used set of pedals like stone says

This lot should all really get posted in the Improvement Suggestions section, but it comes up time and time again.
What should really be strived for, imho, is not just rain but dynamnic weather, so you have to come in and change tyres when conditions change during a race.

I may be an old cynic but as soon as politicians see a chance for a definite vote-puller, they back it. After all why wouldn't they?
I agree with Sam's summary on this.
Techies, environmentalists and activists all see the signs; after all, we all generally share the same belief that killing our environment is not a good thing.
If the politicians start backing this, then funds are made available for 'further studies', and a little micro-business starts to cluster around the debate, feeding off the funds. it becomes a self-perpetuating industry in its own right and little can be said against it for fear of raising social and conscience backlashes.
To me, such issues are similar to the orgainc food farce where middle classes are happy to pay signifiacntly over the odds for allegedly superior organic produce in an attempt to appease their own consumer consciences. This is clever marketing - more so than nutritional benefit, they specifically go after the consumers they know will buy into this kind of propaganda. The similarities with a lot of the GW debates are obvious.
I'm not saying we should be complacent about global warming, I just feel very cynical about the info fed to us, and particularly preached about by politicians and activists when they only make sure they give you one biased side of the picture.
This, imho, applies especially to the arguments about CO2 levels contributing to global warming, as I have stated in the New Scientist reports earlier, this does not seem to be a scientifically significant contributor and is used as an extremely emotive topic rather than being based on any proper reason or investigation.
