Quote from hazaky :.. and then the strength of human kind was stronger than the engine in the car? Dont know, at this point doesnt make much sense to me.

Unless you're assuming the van driver was trying to go backwards, your post makes no sense. Human strenght in this case was complimentary to the car's engine strenght, which enpowers only the front wheels.

Epic Racing has 6 drivers signed in, distributed in 3 teams (Epic Racing, ER GB and ER UK).

I assume we need to choose the two that will score points for the teams champiosnhip as well?

Quote from matijapkc :Compressed? FLAC - Free Loseless Audio Codec
And I don't think it is compressed.
Take a look at the size.

This isn't max from flac. I have songs that have 80MB.

FLAC is compressed, yes. Not as much compressed as MP3/OGGs, but still compressed. Or else you wouldn't have different sizes for the same song.

Can't we do like Mr. Gills and only post pictures, leaving our opinions to, well, ourselves?

I hate clicking on the thread link every time it gets updated and having all my hopes of stumbling upon some funnies crushed by these pointless arguments.

Quote from hp999 :I gotta say that same,it should be fixed. But then someone always comes in and says:

"It has been suggested billion times"

>.<

Haha,I really hope it'll be fixed.

Why should it be "fixed"? It's not like drivers are supposed to hit them in first place. And if by "fixing" it the devs would have to screw the otherwise realistic enough physics model, then it's simply a no-no.

Quote from BAMBO :Perhaps but feel the silence is different in quite a few ways from the rest of the songs. Plus, the singer doesn't really sound like a dutch, as weird as he might be

A Google search for 'feel the silence victor van vlaaringen' shows that Feel The Silence was once one of his top tracks on Last.FM, but it isn't featured on Victor's tracklist anymore.

Quote from Timdpr :Haha, that's a coincidence, I picked up that book about a week ago. I decided the idea sounded good, but it was the worst translation possible. I can imagine a Portuguese guy loving this book, deciding to translate it...but not knowing how to write in English. I'm afraid it was absolutely hilarious!

Maybe I should learn Portuguese? I'm sure I'll watch the film at some point, even if I don't read the book. And there must be some better translations around. Now I've got something to search for.

Did you get the version translated by Giovanni Pontiero? He died in 97, but is still considered one of the best translators of Saramago and other Portuguese-speaking authors to English.

Had a very interesting weekend, definitely much better than the first round at SO. Despite being lapped by Rudi at the last lap fo the Feature, I was very happy wit my progress during the race, going from 24th to 17th midway through the race, with many passes and an intense battle with Chebbi and other two cars for several laps.

Looking forward to the next event!

Quote from prOmo_LTU :Session (Quaifying, Sprint Race, Feature Race): Feature race
Lap of Inicident and mpr Timecode: 1lap / 1:58:14
Cars Involved:#51 and #13
Brief Description of Incident: #51 (me),took over in last chicane,and was in front of #13 in last turn,just going clean in last corner,and #13 pushes "pedal to the metal" by exiting the corner and just spins arroune #51, i (51) was tryng to get back to straight line but then he hitted me again,and i hited the wall. I hope admins will penalise this racer.

I apologize for that. We had a very slight touch and you spun, I tried to stop but the car kept going and turned you around in a timeframe of miliseconds. I absolutely did not accelerate to collide you, though.

Quote from J@tko :I agree with what you say - I worded mine slightly wrong. I meant a "battle" as in almost a "realism" battle - which is more realistic. Of course iRacing is going to have all the licensed cars and tracks and things like that, although I would say LFS is a more "pure" sim - it's been done for fun rather than money.

Ah, yes, then I agree as well. I quite like that healthy battle for the top when it comes to how much realism can by input in a game, but that won't necessarily cause LFS to shut down should it 'lose' the war. As you have well put, LFS's done for fun, so it will only cease to exist when the fun is over. With all its problems, BL1 and XFG is more than enough for me to have some fun racing, so I think LFS' safe regarding its survival.

Of course I'd appreciate if the game kept on being developed at a steady rate, but if I ever get frustrated with the game, I'll be the only responsible for it, for I was the one putting high expectations on a product that never promised me more than what it was capable of delivering when I purchased S2. If I get tired of LFS, and at some point I most probably will, I'll just move on and find something else to amuse me during the times of the day where I should be having some social life. I'll be sad for leaving but won't attempt to take anyone with me simply because I can't realize that by doing 'nothing', the devs haven't actually done anything wrong either.

Quote from J@tko :Wow some people in here are morons.

Back on topic, I agree with what pearcy said waay back in the OP.

LFS is great fun to play, and indeed I still play it now, although less and less mainly due to n00bs on public servers and lack of time to participate in too many leagues. We provide many Leagues and the popularity of these show that lots of others also think LFS is lots of fun, and enjoy the slightly more serious League environment. However, the lack of "progress" is a bad thing really.

The lack of progress is definitely bad for the game, but should not make any old users start threads like this. We 'buy' the game as is. There's no monthly fee or continuous donations. I bought S2 for what the game had to offer me at that point, not for what it was promising for the next months. Sure, I'll obviously enjoy new additions when they're released, but I think any complaint re: the devs job would only be fair and justified had the game gone backwards in its development, which did not happen to LFS.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I fail to see any sense in creating another hate thread where the opinion of one individual is passed on as the collective say on that matter.

Quote :LFS could, and for all intents and purposes should, be a truly superb simulator. It's got all the basics there - good physics, good range of base cars, good multiplayer system, online tracking, friendly community, lots of Leagues. However it's not quite there yet, and for it to survive and to become truly great the level needs to be stepped up. Improved tyre physics are coming, which is nice, but all the other bugs [red 'n' white barriers, various balancing issues, drafting, buggy walls] need to be fixed too.

Completely agree.

Quote :We also are going to have to get modding eventually,

Don't see why it needs to be done, but see what you're talking about.

Quote :but if the basic physics are all there and modding is implemented properly, then LFS vs iRacing could be a never-ending battle of the sims. Potentially both could have really long shelf-lives.

However, I don't agree with this either. LFS is produced by a small independent team of developers. If LFS does indeed 'steal' users from iRacing, great, but no one should consider LFS and iRacing as rivals. Whilst it's perfectly possible for one person to play both games, iRacing is on a different league - there's much more money going on, much more pressure from the users and, if something goes wrong, much more at stake. It's nice to s ee that the iRacing community acknowledges the existance of LFS, but I don't believe we should expect LFS to 'up their game' in order to beat iRacing. The game's future doesn't depend on that.

Quote :People are only complaining because they love playing LFS and see the sim that it could become. They don't want everyone to leave and forget LFS, so that when/if the awesome-ness comes, they've no-one to share it with.

People come and go, and that's the key principle in LFS' marketing model. I don't think the game will die just yet, although it does seem to me that the number of users worthy talking to (in the forums case)/racing with (in the proper game case) grows in a much smaller rate in comparision to the twats.


Quote :But let's face it, LFS is going to very sadly die unless we can conquer the rich bastards over at iRacing.

Do not believe in that. Unless the game grows so big that iRacing decides to buy it. You wouldn't like that, would you?

Quote from Derbis1990 :
P.S now i see why i`m classified as DNF - telepiting.. I didin`t saw this at rules..

1st line under the 'General Procedures' section. IIRC, you telepitted, rejoined the race and then spectated, which isn't allowed (rejoining the race).

Very nice career so far, well done!

Make sure to talk about LFS when Williams hire you as a test drive, or else some forumers might get pissed off!

I felt this should be announced somewhere, so here it goes:

Through our willingly helpful commanders, Bee and Frag, Epic Racing continues their development by acquiring two racing servers.

One of them, setup and made public just a few days ago, can be found at Epic Racing Public Server. Currently, it is set as your average default public server - albeit allowing users to chose tracka nd arce conditions - but, following the examples of busy servers such as IHR and R2R, as long as there is interest in a more restrict configuration, we can make the required adjustments. ***Hint*** a XFR server. ***Hint***
