Hmmm...I'm not a person that spams Blue flag messages, I don't even have it binded...
But I can tell you what's bothering me even more...People that hate when someone spams them with blue flag messages.
These people are usually the ones that won't brake and let the person pass until the last possible moment. Those people are also the ones that believe they are Superman and can battle it off with the leaders that are lapping them, only ending up crashing in the chicane, or missing the braking point just after the leader has passed them.
Are you sorry then? When a car getting lapped ruins a race of a person that has earned leading, do you come here and make threads about it?
What you guys don't take into account, is that the leader about to lap doesn't know who is in front of him. Is it a good and fair racer in control of his car at ALL moments (rarely)? Is it a noob so excited about racing on teh internet that he's salivating on his wheel in a frenzy and doesn't even notice anything outside his 90 degrees field of view? Is it a guy that has been misleaded by the Blue flag hating threads on the forum stating that you don't have to move over when you see blue flag?
So when he sees you not moving over, he's just getting afraid you're going to be one of the latter cases, and starts the spam.
I don't know about you, but when I see a blue flag, I let the person pass pretty easily, because A) he's gotta be much faster than me to lap me B) I'm not racing for the championship if I'm getting blue flagged...It's not like we're in formula 1 and the last places results count, and C) I couldn't imagine how sorry I would be if I had ruined his race by my stupid pride, for...nothing.
This rant is probably not meant at you, but the endless list of persons that have ruined races when they were blue flagged (except the cases where the leader couldn't even wait before a straight or a wide turn to pass).

Hmm I think my worst dream is one I've had recently...
I woke up, and half my hair was gone...Like I lost 20 years of my life in one night...Had to go to school, etc, see all my friends with this embarrasment.
The dream wasn't that bad, but the fact that it was at least 5-6 dream hours, got me seriously!
When I really woke up, my mood was terrible, and I still thought I was almost bald. My roommates still wonder why I got up screaming with joy that day!

Hmmm seems I got lucky when I spent an evening there...Raced for 2 hours, didn't get agressively touched once...Cleanest racing I've had in a long time...
I'd like to see you all put your mugs on the line before having fun with others! 
Of course not? Stupidest rule I've ever heard about racing...
Oh boy, is the model going to laugh about this when he finds out!
Doesn't he look like he could be Vic's brother?

Well that's why voluntary mass and intake restriction was added. When testing setups offline, you just add the penalties that the cars have in multiplayer and voila!
Now you can't break the Wr, but at least that solves the setup problems.
Sorry, nobody said to photoshop the face!
Just had to follow the latest internet trend!

Yep huge crash...He was moving his fingers though just when the car settled...so I think he's ok.
What a bunch of race spoiling yellow flags...It had started out so well!

That's what I was wondering too...
I'm not too keen on selling Lfs on cd's either.
What it really needs is some proper publicity when it's finished...Nowadays, nobody goes to the computer shop anyway and choose a game just because he likes the cover.
A nice publicity campaign with a link to the site would bring much more profit I guess...And no publisher percentages needed!!!

He's called Tupac Shakur too!
In fact 2Pac comes from Tupac. Not the otherway around.No, but I did redownload the patch to re-install it.
Now I downloaded Lfs full again, works fine.
Weird things...
Am I the only one whose Lfs crashes on single player? The second I press Go after choosing car and track, it freezes and closes by itself...Noticed it a bit late because everybody obviously went to multiplayer when the patch was released...
Testpatch 47 works fine...

Good news! The most important thing I guess is to make them more aware of what's going on around them...I'm sure you'll find a good way to do that!
Nice model, but that's a pretty damn big airbrake around the driver's helmet isn't it?
Wow, that was either very difficult conditions (already Hong Kong airport approach is difficult since there are mountains around, or a spectacularly newbie/bad pilot...
I've been onboard on a landing like this...Unbelievable...you don't see the rundway and suddenly it's touchdown.
Hats off the the pilots with the confidence to do this with 300 lives in their backs! Although they don't have any other choice!

Simple? Try to ban someone?
Hi, the only problem I seem to have in these last test patches, is some random disconnects...They usually happen after a race.
Normally I would have checked my net connection, but since I don't even see the lag bar growing before popping me out, I thought it might be related to the patches? I don't see how mentioning it could help though, since I can't show anything for it.
By the way, my internet connection raaaaarely disconnected me before this last batch of patches.

I still don't see an error in what I said? Maybe a syntax error?
As I said, Scawen said Patch X would probably be released before THIS friday (8th), BUT, there is still doubt, as LAST friday (1st) demonstrated that you can't always predict what bug is going to show up...

The ''dev'' has said previously that he seriously doubted Patch X wouldn't be out by this Friday...However, no-one can know for sure, as it was demonstrated last Friday!
