The main reason why people lost motivation is because they thought there was going to be patch, so they were happy with this perspective and then it got delayed.
The fact that we are all expepting for a good update since August 2008 (when we knew the Scirocco was going to be added) is making some people bored and that's perfectly normal (and the fact that patch Z wasn't a major update TBH).
It is not sad, it is not happy, it's just how things work.
When the patch will come, people will gain motivation again because this time we will get a LOT of updates!

@GianniC
You don't seem to know that alot of respected and respectful drivers left LFS because they were simply bored...
They didn't complain about anything, they were not noobs, and certainly not kids.
Because when I read your post, it looks like your insulting people just because they are bored of the game

Now let's just wait for the update to see the LFS community living again

There are alot of leagues running with all cars and all tracks in LFS

Quote from GianniC :

And really, blaming the lack of patches or updates for not racing is incredibly morronic. But I guess this is part of the younger generations, eyecandy, updates and new toys is all they care
Quit complaining and making completely faulty arguments.


about. What about having fun with what you have ? Isn't that good enough already ? How many of those complaining about the "lack of updates that's why I do not race" have decently tryed ALL the LFS availlable cars ? How many of you have done races at FE Black Rev (to name a track) ? How many of you have even tryed controlling the LX6 ? Ect....

Wrong, if for one reason the LFS Community is not in it's best shape it is all because of the community.

First of all, why wouldn't you race or have fun without a new patch ?
Secondly, patch delay ? What delay ? Cause the kiddo's around here got overly exited about the VW ? Get mature, that happens in every game. Let the Devs do their work and stop ruining OUR community with YOUR nonsense.

Back in S1 we had 6 track layouts and 3 cars; and the community was great and large. But you people's attitude these days, that's whats wrong. Unthankfull kiddo's who can't focus on something and keep for a longer term playing with it. It's like those kids who lay on the floor in the supermarket crying why they don't get the latest Mega Mindy action doll, despite already have a dozen of dolls at home. Going a bit off-topic, but please... Get lost with your patch whining and blaming everything on that. This is a sim racing community, this is a hardcore, low numbered and close group of people. Go fix your attitude, patch or not has nothing to do with LFS. And if you so badly need patches and eyecandy; then LFS is not the quality racing simulator for you. Go play one of EA's games then, but at least stop polluting our community and forum with your idiot nonsense.

I'm looking forward to the new tyre psychics and a possible change in the damage model, and hopefuly the VW and Rockingham get delayed for another year (in the hope that the kids who can't wait go away and we can have our sim racing communtiy back, with some decent high standard).

End rant, thank you.

So for you people that are bored of LFS are:
morrons, kids, immature, noobs...

You have more?

Loosing motivation because of a patch delay is perfectly normal

You have to be honest... The LFS community is really not in it's best shape and yea it's because of the patch delay. People lost motivation because they are waiting for the patch...
Just compare the 16Hours one year ago and this year (97 cars in 2008, 77 in 2009)
But when the patch will come with New Physics, New interiors (probably), Scirocco, Another new car and Rockingham, the LFS community will grow again
That's just how LFS works

Congratz to you for driving 12 hours
Must have been really hard

That was a pretty nice race
Driving from 2h to 6h was really Hardcore for me, my hands were red and keeping the car on the road from 5h to 6h was hard.. but I did it
I hope I didn't cause much problems to the NGTs I pushed

I'm gonna drive from 2h to 6h (local time) in 1h30...
It's going to be Harcore
My Team-Mates at E-Team are doing a great job! We are now 8th... We didn't exept to be in top 10!

Seems like it's working well now

A little problem with Morgan Trollé's name
It's M. Trollé
And he is French
Thank you in advance!

The Second one is just... EPIC

Quote from Rappa Z :

My bid is on it being a stock car unless it is a real car.

Hope not
11/21 stock cars for a racing game, enough.
We need... LMP

E-Team skin for the 16h.
Just in time

cuba does not have a good healthcare system.

Quote from Becky Rose :

mhmm Cuba has good healthcare given it's tiny size and backward technology, it ranks higher than America on the WHO rankings, and is a social healthcare system.

Quote from Scawen :

I guess the host should stay at the top of the list...

Yes but maybe, if it is really easy to do, a darker background so we can see that it is the host?

Quote from CSF :

Simply people will choose the fastest car for the balancing.

Quote from Tomhah :

exactly. You cant say that the XRR is bad, simply because of results, when 1/20 of the teams uses XRR.

I don't know what testing you did... In fact we don't even need tests to proove that 25% isn't fair.
Only thing you need is to take a look at past MOE and GTAL season... Lots of races that proove that FZR has an unfair advantage.
Can you realldy deny this? I'm curious to know why do you think there was no XRR at all the last MOE season? If people didn't like the XRR, then why there are so much in GT1 this MOE season?

Scawen from the Scavier team has my vote for sure!

Also Eric from the Scavier team, he is very talented!!

And Victor from the Scavier team, he is always offering great help to everyone!


And don't anyone dare to call me fan boy

Quote from Tomhah :

4 our of 7, yes. But that doesnt change the fact that XRR takes shorter pit-stops, does it?

Ok let's be clear, you gain 3 secs in pits with XRR, that means 6 secs in the race. You can use R2/R2 in FZR if you are smooth... just like the XRR so this ain't an advatage/disadvantage.
You will never see XRR domination for 1%. Even if the XRR was a little bit faster with 24%, that wouldn't be a problem because:
- It can flip really easily compared to the FZR
- It can be stuck in sand

The perfect balance doesn't exist, but when you look at MOE you see that 25% is far too much for XRR.
Just compair GT1 (with a good balance) and GT2 (with a bad balance).
Yes, MOE GT2 balances ARE actualy bad.
These are facts that nobody can deny...

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Trust me, it's too fast at 24%.

Trust me, it isn't, at all.
It will be faster in some tracks, slower on other tracks.
Faster in WE, slower in SO. That's how it should be...

EDIT: And just so you know I'm not saying this for me but for the championship, E-Team is probably going to drive the FZR again.

Quote from Tomhah :

look at the drivers :P

True, only the XRR-lovers (Core Racing ) took the XRR... Nobody wants it with 25%, it's too slow ^^

Look at MOE.

We have seen enough races to know that with 25% the XRR is clearly worse than FZR (GTAL 2009 and MOE 2009)
I mean... you just can't deny this! The XRR can flip, has turbo lag, worse COG...
Tires are a big problem with the GT2 version of this car too... On the tracks like AS4 you CAN put R2 but you have to be very careful if you want to. I'm not even talking about other tracks like WE1 or FE4 where doing a race with R2 is nearly impossible do you have to put R3 with a very low pressure which is bad in the straights...
