Ah, let's just drop it. Kick my arse at LFS later instead, that'll show me

...lol?

Did not get an email yet...race is in 2 days. i didn't make a skin yet because i didn't get a response. Should i make the skin anyway? Is there still going to be a race?

I think I did old chap. I think that comprised part of the irony of my comment. Perhaps you should get off of your shoebox.

Detecting sarcasm over the internet is near impossible unless the speaker is blatantly obvious about it. To me, your statement was not, which is why i understood it as an argument.

Quote from jayhawk :

No need to ban them...if it means less people on racing servers, less people who just pull over on lap one and blab away, I am all for it. Or in other words, less of this:

RaCer1!//1 - UR ghey
G25maddskillz - UR ghey
InitialDlesbian - kekekekekeke
RaCer1!//1 - STFU imz faster then u
G25maddskillz - i sprouted my first pube! LOlz!
Unnamed - =))))))))))


I am willing to bet the majority of them on the cruise servers are between the ages of 13-20. And let's face it: some just have the inclination to be social, be it in real life or LFS.

This is true. I only figure that having no cruise servers would encourage more people to start racing. Maybe they would act like you said, but i'm sure after a while they would figure out that their behavior is not tolerable. The only other alternative is to do what most have suggested already. Include a filter so I don't have to deal with them.

You know that the phrase 'proper English', is actually poor English?

/end windup,

you are proving my point without even knowing it. you have obviously not read my post or have read it but not comprehended it.


@Tristan. I think you misunderstood. I am not arguing that spelling mistakes should be left uncorrected. There is no exception for typing like a fool. What I am saying is, if people spoke or wrote using proper grammar, it would not sound normal. If you compare the way people SHOULD speak, to the way they DO speak, you will realize it would be very annoying to listen to them. (No I am not talking about the people who speak like this: Where the game at? I be gettin myself over there before it be too late) There is really no excuse for speaking like that either.

holy christ. Ban all the cruise servers. There are at least 6. At least 3 of them eat up 10-20 racers EACH. god it is so pointless.

"Yay, LFS physics are kicking in...."











JUST KIDDING

Quote from amp88 :

C wasn't obliged to give B room because B wasn't overlapping him (i.e. he wasn't alongside him enough). A general rule of thumb is that you should be roughly halfway alongside a car before you can consider yourself far enough up to expect to be given room. B wasn't even alongside the rear bumper of C when he started braking. Another thing is that it looks like B started braking and them came off the brakes in order to try and force the pass. Even if C had given B enough room for the corner I don't think B would have been able to brake enough to make the corner.

i guess you're right in saying that he braked late in order to try and catch up. It does make sense that Driver B should not be obliged to give him room since he was no where near passing to begin with...

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I guess that's why you could call it a racing incident.

Upon looking again, I feel that driver C (red) should have looked in his mirrors an noticed that green (B) was probably going to make a lunge and left some room, but he was already committed in looking up the inside of driver A. This is actually a lot tougher to call than I first thought, in my opinion!

i agree with you that driver C should have given more room.

Could it be driver C since he did not even give enough room for B in the turn?

thanks, that guide really helped.

Quote from The General Lee :

Where is the number board...the first race is only next saturday!

my thoughts exactly. I would just like to know if my application has been confirmed. Also, just for clarification purposes, 19:00 GMT is 2:00 PM EST is that correct?

How do we know if we are entered into the championship? I received no confirmation.

Now if you had to choose between a momo or a DFP. Which is the preferable one? Are there advantages, disadvantages to both?

thanks a lot guys. this just reinforces my thought to buy a wheel.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Nice to see an American using the term "pit lane" rather than "pit road", but "pit lane" requires a definite article - it's not treated as a proper noun.

Example:

America: "The car has entered pit road" (judging by the usage, Pit Road should be capitalised as it appears to be a proper noun, but I've never seen it capitalised, bloody Americans...)
World: "The car has entered the pit lane"

I have to stop reading articles about language parsing when I'm tired.

If people went around correcting everyone's speech errors, no one would shut up about it. Also, if everyone spoke PRECISE and PROPER English, everyone would sound like morons. Don't ask me for examples of how proper English sounds dumb. There are thousands, pick up an English textbook and read through it, you will realize how annoying it would get if everyone spoke that way. It's called slang because it's easier to speak that way. Deal with it. I'm tired of the posts correcting other peoples grammar. (The exception is for people who type in such bad English that the post is impossible to read. Or to people who type in l337.)

/end rant

perfection

thanks, real fast replies..

alright...also, (sorry to be buggy) but what wheels do both of you use?

alright. i wonder why that guy was telling me there is a drop...

Quote from Strummer :

Do you have to actually go down pit-lane? Can you just hit esc and chose "pit" while driving? I did this and it brought me straight to the pits..without going to pitlane. I hope that the devs make so that you actually do have to go down pit-lane and make a 15-18 second stop...and actually tell the crew what you want...like tires, fuel, wedge, camber adjust, tire pressure adjust..etc. It would be more realistic..and really should not require too much extra coding...most of its there now. Keep up the good work everyone..just got the license last week.and I really enjoy it.

Cheers
STRUM

if you do that it removes you from the race and you lose all laps previously raced.

alright, thank you for the quick responses. If you don't mind i would like to keep my question in the air and get more testimonies from others if thats possible. Just so i'm sure there really is no fps drop at all.

Ok. Did you test LFS with no wheel at all? Also what FPS do you get on average?

its a waste of time. People will abuse this feature. The best solution is to have each suggestiong APPROVED by a moderator/moderators. The way it works is someone creates a new thread, it goes into a pool that the moderators read over, if they feel the suggestion has potential or was well thought out, THEN they approve it and it appears in the forum for people to view.

ok thank you. why is it then Architect told me that it could be anywhere from 10-15 fps difference?

He said the force feedback has something to do with it. Can anyone else clarify whether or not there is an FPS drop?
