http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terrorist

Definition for Terrorist. Basically a person using an act of terror to make a point out or get something they want. You could say most of the world has been a terrorist, literally, lol. Has anyone NOT used SOME FORM of terror (fear, making someone scared) to get a point out, I'm sure you all have, even if you were innocent.

But then there are more serious terrorists, that who knows.. there could be more of them then the Arabs, that do more serious threats etc.

Then you have the extremists which go too far and normally tend to be Arab. I am Lebanese myself and I am from the Arabic area and weather people say its racist or discrimination or not, most of them are Arabs and its Arabs that give themselves the terrorist name, not the media. The media just exaggerate it.

How sad...

Sam, i didn't mean make the track and DELIBERATELY not release it. They would make a track, not think its good or they did a poor job and didn't release it. They have worked with cars and not released them before, so as if they wouldn't do it for tracks too.

Money. The LFS Team seams like the only people out there not driven by it.

It wont happen. You think they haven't created RL tracks? There is obviously a reason why they have decided not to release any. Maybe they felt it is not a good feature to have and only they would know that. Try anyway, receive a yes and your most likely going to be a legend! lol!

Quote from tristancliffe :

Just don't assume that Kimi had time to sit and think about what was happening. It's all reaction based...

LOL yeh about 2 tenths to think and control. Also think about the speed, the weather, the g-forces, weight of the wheel all acting in them 2 tenths. Then you could think mind and human nature for survival to stay alive and not crash. Couldnt even prevent that in 2 seconds with what Kimi did in 2 tenths IMO.

Im not a Kimi fan not one bit, Massa fan i am!

And i gotta give it up for Kimi for keeping the car controlled, the replay you watch him correct it and at high speed on that turn outside the tunnel, i was in shock. He did great work keeping the car straight, but shame for Sutil, really sad to see him finish the race like that.

Yes ofcourse iRacing is expensive in sim-racing terms, but in general terms, its cheap. Its much cheaper then a car loan or a house loan, so whats the whining ay? iRacing is very cheap! How are peoples sarcasm meter's running?

Ive always thought of a continuous competition. Its more like a career or leveled series if that makes sense. It sounds stupid and wouldn't work unless there was people willing to put in effort to keep it going. Don't kill me now!

Theres 5 series. MRT, FBM, FOX, FO8, BF1. There is 20 in the BF1 series and up to 40 or whatever the max a server can hold in the MRT series. At the end of each series, the 5 best move to the next series up (eg 3rd place in FBM series moves to the FOX series) and the bottom 5 moves to the bottom. As for the rest, they stay in the series and don't move anywhere. This makes it sort of like a career mode.

If there was thousands playing, you could have heaps of MRT groups, alot of fbm, few of fox and a couple of fo8 and 1 of bf1. But the more groups, you would maybe make it lowest 10 people go down a group and it can work evenly by having 1 bf1 group, 2 fo8 groups, 4 fox groups, 8 fbm groups and 16 mrt groups which would total if filled up 1100, but then even more groups if even more players. Similar to F1REM or GPRO.

Like i said, this would hardly work. Would be interesting though.

Quote from Intrepid :

You sound like someone who is complete denial about Hamilton. Probably set your position at the beginning of the year that he wasn't very good, and are now thinking of a million excuses as to why his great performances are not that, just so you don;t make yourself look like a fool. If Kimi had done what hamilton did most of you lot would all be pulling one off.

Hamilton did have luck on his side but so did Senna in 1984 but everyone seems to forget that -

I'm not in denial about Hamilton's skill or win. He is one hell of a driver to me, i think he is in the top group of F1, but what i am in denial is him alike Senna. Anyone who talks about Hamilton and gives reference to Senna is just completely in love with Lewis. You have to face it, and that damn James Allen has to face it, Lewis is not like Ayrton!

He never was, not is, and never will be, and call me someone inlove with Senna, but i still keep in mind hes not as good/like Clark, Prost, Gillies, Fangio, Moss, Brabham either.

Quote from Intrepid :

I am pretty sure that his dad wanted him to have a bright colour so he could see him easily when he was in karts. That's the reason they went yellow, and not entirely because of the Senna connection.

And anyone saying it was anything other than a stunning drive needs to go and see a doctor!

Which doctor? Because i wasn't "stunned" at all.

I hate how people compare or talk about Hammilton like Senna, its really annoying, especially from James Allen. All i heard him talk about was Lewis and Senna.

And his quotes to talk about the conditions.

James: "Its very hard out there. It looks like the drivers gave their cars to their grandmas."

?? What a nut. The race was good, but he kills it!

Vote 1 to ban James Allen.

That was good footage mate. Nice stuff to see.

Does it really matter?

Quote from Tweaker :

Bumps don't make a great track, the LFS tracks just need better designs for driving. Elevation changes help, but even a flat track can be incredibly good if it is designed right. After a while, I find many ways a lot of the tracks can be designed better to improve the driving experience in LFS, as well as making them a whole lot more technical when pushing on the edge.

There are too many fast corners that don't take much effort in LFS, and the few corners that are slow and require precision are always the best for racing (eg Turkey's last chicane), like Fern Bay and parts of South City. If we just had tracks catered to being like the classics of LFS, but made for bigger cars, things would feel a whole lot better. Else the S2 tracks just lack character and uniqueness with 'legendary' type designs.

Simplistic corner designs, that are very basic are too common these days. Nowadays we are seeing much more radical and interesting shapes of corners that really push the way of thinking for the designer and the driver.

Though most modern tracks look very geometric and have neat designs, I'd much rather take more classic approaches to track design that are evident in a lot of earlier circuits (50s-70s).

Example: Circuit Charade (Vid), Mosport Park (Vid), Rouen (Vid), Zandvoort (Vid),Bremgarten, Dijon (Vid), Circuit Mont-Tremblant (Vid), Road Atlanta (Vid), etc. These kind of curvy tracks, built in hilly areas are always the best. Watch YouTube vids of these tracks, they are great.

I Agree 100% with your whole post. It's something ive always thought about LFS.

Quote from ATHome :

Ugly as hell... Designed for the american market and at least at this task they didn't fail.

I think this car is even worse than the 2001 - 2002 Impreza with the round lamps

http://www.crspics.com/2003/tarmac03/lakes03/03-8-84-13.jpg

IMO, thats the most ugliest WRX ive seen.

The FO8 is the best looking SS car in LFS IMO. I think maybe a touch around the engine and read, but dont dare anything at the front. Even leave it how it is, i dont think it needs any touch at all. Other then the FZ5, its the best looking, sounding, feeling car in the game.

IMO, the road version looks crap, but that WRC version looks awesome!

Restrictions for Learner rider in AUS.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/lice ... orcyclesnoviceriders.html

Quote :

The LAM scheme will allow novice riders to ride moderately powered motorcycles with an engine capacity up to and including 660ml and which do not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne and are shown on this list.

Eligible Motorcycles in the category 0-260ml.
All models with the exception of:
Suzuki RGV250
Kawasaki KR250 (KR-1 and KR1s models)
Honda NSR250
Yamaha TZR250
Aprila RS250

Eligible Motorcycles in the category 261 - 660ml
List is too big

Whats funny is, the RS125 has a power to weight ratio of i think 160kw/tonne, but its legal, so don't really follow that restriction. For 250cc, it says anything except the five bikes in that class.

I was first interested in the Aprilia, but in this thread its been said they are good/ but need alot to be maintained etc. The yamaha looks really nice and i might be tossing up between the yamaha and the ninja now.

Also to answer some questions, im going for a new bike, not used. Plus ive (well my brother, but i can use) a Yamaha WR250x which is a dirt bike, but im looking more for a road bike. .

I'm going to be getting a bike around late July. Il be a learner rider so obviously I'm restricted to alot of bikes and i thought id leave a thread here if people can help out in which is a good bike to get.

Ive been researching abit and narrowed down to three bikes that are good and that i like. Id appreciate it if anyone can help me out here .

Three bikes ive been looking at:

Aprilia RS125
http://www.aprilia.com.au/rs12507.html

Kawasaki 250R Ninja
http://www.kawasaki.com.au/ind ... ct_details=specifications


Honda CBR125R
http://www.hondampe.com.au/wps ... BR125R+07/Specifications/


If anyone has a bike and rides one or knows a thing or two, let me know what you think.

Thanks.

If he wanted to test the game, why would he be already be using cheats, and where would he get them?

I don't understand how this works. So your mate tests LFS. Out of no where gets a cheat in LFS without you knowing and has a go playing LFS?

I smell burning bananas....

Just maybe, i think you would have slight more chance telling the truth here.

F1, CCWS, MotoGP, Nascar, V8Supercars, Le Mans, Karting.

Simple list .

LOL got me laughing mate.


What was the original title?

Edit, i see its gone back to the original title yes?

lol

Awesome stuff Scawen! First time i think ive posted in a test thread, im not a bug checker, so im pretty useless to you, but just a thanks from me .
