ok just did some testing, look at the pictures and i dont need to explain anything

Quote from Dumpy :

There was an interesting show on the Discovery channel a week or two ago that proposed a new (to me) twist on the whole global warming issue. The premise is that the focus on reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions could pose a problem if it isn't accompanied by a significant reduction in particulate matter pollution, i.e. smog - pollution you can see. The idea is that the tiny particle pollution that floats around in the sky and bonds to water vapor in clouds and such actually contributes to global cooling by provide more surface area for rays of sun to be reflected and/or refracted, obviously casuing less of the sun's warmth to reach into the lower atmosphere. So, if we drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions without simultaneously reducing a balanced ratio of particulate matter pollution the earth will of course plunge into another ice age killing all life and making babies cry, etc, etc.

It was a very intriguing show, and while it was tricky looking past all the Danger Will Robinson! catastrophe scenarios, the ideas did appear to be backed up by actual scientific *gasp* research and testing.

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case no one had heard this take on it; I hadn't.

Quote from Madman_CZ :

Yeah i remember watching a program on global cooling last year which is caused by global dimming. If i remember correctly after the 9/11 attacks when the planes were grounded in the USA they got some interesting measurements. They found that the days were hotter and nights cooler.

on topic:

People calling James Porteous an idiot cant seperate themselves from that level but the opposite of it. I dont know him at all but i can imagine that he has got quite good intentions and all he wants is to bring things forward instead of going backwards or worse.
Its also amazing how people refuses to accept the given facts and build up their own reality. To keep it simple, CO2 is a waste product produced by us, the mammals, basically. Its doesn't really matter which one of us, either industry or the average consumer is producing more or less of it. Therefore its absolutely absurd when people make a difference between each of every trigger that is responsible and exists around the globe and start to prioritize. The point is that you have to start somewhere to fight the pollution problem.
Everyone is in the position to change something regarding this problem. And if you dont want to doesn't necessarily means that you can just ignore it or turn the facts in a public forum like this. Of course, after the last iceage the earth is heating up again but we all accelerate this progress in such a unrealistic amount that the natural balance is completely disordered. Beisdes all that i dont even want to mention the destruction of the rainforests and any other vegetation around the globe which is "of course" not our fault as well.
From my point of view, the main problem is responsibility and the fact that we (majority) think that our enjoyments have got a higher priority then to keep this planet clean & healthy for our offsprings. Also the simplification of a circumstance like this will create even more devastatingly results and this is why i think that topics like this should't be discussed in a forum like this but you can prove me wrong.
I am conviced that as long as we and especially the upper industrial countries are unable to solve such problems we are not that far away from another stoneage. First indications are in place.
Dont get me wrong, i dont think that i and the sources i rely on are correct in every single way. There maybe also alot of wrong or overvalued statements/ results but in general, speaking about the "big picture" this beginning of a solution makes at least for me more sense then anything else.

most certainly this year i guess? :icon23:

Quote from Krane :

:haha: Sorry I just had to :-)

and this week we have this one

Quote from scawen :

So, when will it be released? Well, of course we don't know that because the issues still need to be fixed, but hopefully the release will be early in the week. I'd be very surprised if it was released later than Friday, as I don't think there are enough problems to take us to Friday. It's a good idea to get patches out before the weekend.

Quote from Brainblaster666 :

I'll try my very best to make it possible!!! This would be lots of fun!!!!!

same here =) sounds very interesting indeed

since lfs is a unique game in many ways (netcode/ multiplayer system, content, community etc) so is its way of development. The time will come and more people will esteem this and besides all that, i dont know any game by far which is updated frequently and you also have contact to the developers. But i can tell you the exact opposite of that, an update for EA games for example means you have to pay another 40-50 bugs.

Quote from Mike85 :

How about getting more people to buy S2? But I dont know how to do that? Suggestions?

I think the demo should have atleast one fast car. All three demo cars are slow. And that doesnt help bringin in new people. Its too boring to the noobs

I have to disagree on that completely. If "you" already like those cars and the rest of the demo as it "sort of" represents the "full game" then "you" will get a licence sooner or later. Besides the fact that "you" are able to get rid of all the wrecking buggers and simular creatures (once & for all and not for another 5 minutes or less) "you" also deserve the entire content (cars/tracks et cetera) "you" have payed for. If not, go away and play NFS-TDU-OMG-WTH acade stuff and enjoy yourself alright

cheers

Quote from CodieMorgan :

Why are ALLLLLLLLL the servers worldwide 'empty'?

This isn't what we paid for..... nonexistant online racing!

Well i would like to see exactly in which section of the agreement the point is which ensures that the servers are always filled.

Quote from Jakg :

i use 101% in Windows and 120% in game, does that make me some sort of super-human?

I can't see what all the fuss is about - i've been through 2 G25's now and both have worked fine like this, i have muscles bettered only by small girls, maybe yours is fubar'ed?

what the ?? Its not about super abilities or anything its about sense which i cant see at all with so much FF. I cant feel the vehicle anymore and it just feels unrealistic but in the end its a matter of taste. If you like playing that way, enjoy yourself. You most probably need some body training anyway However, i also think that so much FF will damage the wheel much more in the long run. To much plastic inside for my taste.

why do you use wheel turn compensation? This gives at least to me a rly strange feeling and im using almost the same settings like you except for the FFB in-game. Im at 30 and i wonder how you manage to drive with 100 or in this case, 201 alltogehter. Thats way to much and maybe the reason your wheel is damaged now? Just a thought.

Edit: before calling logitech try this: turn off wtc and use like 30% FF in game. Everytime i have problems with my wheel i do this: unplug the wheel (wait for the usb sound) then i plug it in again and just in case lfs is still running i hit shift+c + maxing out every axis (wheel & pedals).

having big fps problems (like <10 fps) while using shift+U mode, maybe anyone else has the same problem? Been tested on 3 servers now.

Quote from Shotglass :

hm could you post the cars tbc file please ?

why?

about the game RACE, i think is has not enough content to buy it for i dont know 40 bugs (€) or so. Is it worth the money? I might think about it when its cheap enough

btw, here is the same vid but with music instead of engine sounds

Quote from HogaMan :

Patch X?

?

no, still TEST Patch W38

Quote from Tweaker :

It looks really good.

But I don't see the difference other then nuking Michelin and changing a bit of parts and driver helmets.

http://rfactor.net/images/07-06bmwsauber3.jpg

They did do one thing wrong though, the color of the camera on the top for both of the cars are orange Kubica's should be yellow-green

as for the technical details recording to rFactor it almost the same car but on track it feels much better then before. Must be the different aerodynamic model or something. Maybe we get an updated version for lfs once as well but two F1 cars from the same brand would makes no sense at all

Besides, here is a lil clip of me riding "the mother" with that car, enjoy

Quote from Gabkicks :

its going to be nice to have everyone using the same version of lfs again. i can't wait to get the new gtr interiors though... can't wait for patch y.

good point =)

At this point i also wonder if S3 (whenever it will be released) will be another game just like S1 compared to S2 I mean at least for me it was like *omg is this still LFS?* Anyway, thanks for everything and keep up the good work ScaViEr

i say, it doesn't matter.

(play with Patch W)

Quote from garph :

This thread/idea has gone from trying to get a WR, to beating it by slipstreaming, to bump drafting, to being pushed around the track by a much faster car.

Nice fall from credibility A shame cause it was a nice idea.

isn't that the same? However, i agree that this is just absurd spam to pronounce it more specificly. Besides, going for the WR is easy when youre togehter, going for a PB would be the actually goal

first person that uploads a multiplayer replay to lfsworld where also two or more people are bumpdrafting to crack the WR gets 100.000.000 €. Replay must be valid of course. :duck:

Quote from Scawen :

Yes it has been mentioned before but I could not reproduce it, so could not fix it. I have a good idea for a "true" fix for this (without debugging the existing problem) but it requires an incompatible version - I will probably do one incompatible version early in the week - also to "fix" the 1 hour first lap of qualifying time.

ok sorry for beeing too lazy to use the seach function and thanks for trying to fix it since this can be really annoying if you can imagine. You type something which might be important and just half of the text is actually beeing displayed on the other end

cheers

dont know if this has been mentioned before, theres a bug(?) in the chat where not the hole text will be displayed. In the picture you can see i have typed 3 times a-z and my mate Blaster showed what he can see.

Quote from Sylekoer :

i dont play LFS but the skin is for my friend.. doh. i play only demo

just get a licence mate, its not that expensive and totally worth every single cent.

cheers

Quote from Bob Smith :

With skins there's always the (admittedly somewhat silm) possibility that they're to be used in the CMX viewer. It doesn't mean he can drive the car so is not enough evidence to get out the flaming 'nanas.

you are right bob, that could be a reason. Still strange tho. Nevermind then and i suggest you get a licence mate so you can also drive that car (online)

respect for licenced users

if you have a S2 licence, please login and post again, otherwise, please get lost. :bitehard3
