so where is the "this is to prep you for MoE" arguement?
it seems as some rules fall under the "we are amatuers so change it" catagory, and some fall under the "this is to prepare you for MoE" catagory.
if you want realism, and the wind is "unrealistic", then you should also post a poll about anyone using anything but in-car view, because it too is "unrealistic"...correct?
whatever the rules are they are. if you are going to argue a point, there should be some consistency behind your view of how things should be.
i am not pointing fingers, making assumptions, or singling out anyone, but some people are on both sides of the fence.
do you want realism? do you want a challenge? or do you just want the rules changed to make it as easy as possible?
my personal opinion is (since LFS is a so-called simulator), force cockpit view, and throw in some wind if it posted in the rules there might be, and let us race. if i wanted to play a game using follow view, then i would fire up Gran Turismo 4 or Need for Speed and have a go.
these leagues are supposed to emulate racing. and racing has never been "easy".....at least not in my 15 years of doing it.
