That´s not personal mate. Tristans last post was completly frontin and flamin and if you can´t see that, you must miss life skill or intelligence. And I don´t want to go so far to call you stupid. So try to understand what people write in this thread and don´t just follow a position you don´t know about.
I just can´t understand why people like him read threads about things they don´t like and post something against it. Looks very silly to me. I don´t like Rallye in LFS very much. But why should I tell s.o.? Nobody needs my opinion in rallye threads. I have no skill, no practice, so I never write about it. That means I don´t know about rallye. Tristan don´t know about Oval/Fm Community, etc. But always his 2 pence that no one (in this thread or Nardo) needs.
If there will be ever an "MOST BITCHIN AROUND AND FLAMING SPAMMER AND NONSENSEPOSTER AWARD"... you´ll get my vote tristan. illepall
What´s all that "do that and do this or" nonsense? Are you someone´s big brother? Do you really think, s.o. needs to be teached by you? We talk about community. That´s all.
Argh and also muahahaha. Didn´t really remember that it was you m8, I was very angry when I wrote this thread. But thanks to bring this back into my mind. Great work Aldi.
Thanks Torben for this great review on the "old days of ovaaaaaal".
When I startet with S2 because of that great GTR Version of my lovely XRT, I had never played online before. I got a S1 licence but I used keyboard (my great Ultraracer "R/C-Control Style" Wheel didn´t work with parallel/usb adapters) and that was IMHO not good enough to fight online. But it´s not really a shame to stick with SCGT since S2 came out.
A few days later I found the FM XSIV Server oval runnin. Same impressions like torben told before. Fast, croudy, amazing. I got a Logitech Lemans Wheel for 20 Bucks and tried to race with the AI offline. But the AI can´t handle oval racing. So I got back online and a few minutes later .... I was banned. This really p***es me off and 24 h later I went back to this server. I keep very quiet and started always from the pits, cause I can´t handle the start. I spectated the guys who banned me before very often in this days and I saw that some of these guys (some with FM Tag) are very arrogant people and crashs a lot and blaim others for it. Who are those guys I was asking myself. Search function in the lfs forum shows me this: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=1184
I am really oval addicted so I want to stay on that server. A few days and better times later that guy called "Failure" told me "Join our Ventrilo Server for better racing". I asked him why. To hear the "F**ks" and "S**ts" from others too? He sayed that they warn each other and have a good time (with free chicks, free drinks and stuff) together. I never used something like this and I was a little bit shy. But I installed ventrilo (www.fragmaster.net/vt) and I was very impressed. Cd Quality and no bad pings. I met a lot of very nice people there and specially very nice americans like Thunderchild, Canadaman, Racer and more then 20 others.
On the oval we have sometimes racing trouble with american (and australian) players because the FM server is located in europe. Ping probs and stuff. Very hard for close starts and bum... erm...the b-word.
There WERE some people around the FM community that act very arrogant and feeling like "rule the world". Those people always kept the best line and when a backmarker came into FOV, they never thought about lifting the throttle or leave the line for short. Because that screws your time for this AND the next lap. And those guys blame the "noobs" as crashers. But accidents in this way are the fault of both drivers. But this times have changed , those guys are GONE a long time before this thread. The FM Community is a very nice place. Remember someone of the fun on newyears day? 70th funk music 24 hours in ventrilo (thanks Fail), UF1 racing on the oval, that was great.
LFS, GTL, Trackmania, WoW and many more games are played here in different channels. I like that. If one of your buddys in the "Chill out zone" (most of us are online in ventrilo 24/7) you can call him to play something. People: Just try it if you are not to shy. This is 21st century entertainment.
How can you say that? Do you know anyone of us? And btw: I don´t like that "roboadmin", too. I hate the lfs lapper. Specially the auto pit function. Sometimes you save your car from spinning and that freakin roboadmin (perfect word) sends you to spectate. :/ But I agree with Failure and the others, it´s better for a clean track.
Sorry, but that´s wrong. It´s about nice close races and pb-hunting. We don´t care about the LFS statistics. The statistics are too easy to cheat. (Own server, 1-2 lap races)
BTW. I hate to win on the oval. Good to have a breakpedal to use on start/finish. =)
Simple. You did´t play oval in lfs a lot so you are "not good". If there is no skill needed, like you sayed, you can easily beat us. But you can´t. So explain this to me. If you have any time to race instead of posting "opinions" here... meet us.
Good to see that some people are wise enough to see the fun between "black and white".
BTW, you even don´t need to switch places. There is a nice bug in lfs that allows you to push openwheelers. Sometimes it´s fun to use that bug for :bump: -drafting.
