I just ate chilli sin carne...

43 laps Blackwood reverse with GTI, with important points to be gained for the Dutch season.. Last lap last turn in 6th position, my 2 direct competitors behind me.... The number 2 in the race ran out of fuel and I managed to hit him comming out of the last turn on the way to the checkqueredflag illepall

man was I mad But well we all play this game for fun! (right?)

In the end it didn't matter that much that I lost some points there, since I had to forfeit the season due to a new job which takes place only at night...

Hope others have more luck during their league races and ofcourse I hope everybody enjoys their gaming, hmm or just enjoy life in general !!

Cheers, SMOKE

Imho, reverse grid is FUN, once all the fools know the track a bit so they brake in time.. If you have normal grid, once your in the top 3, races get very boring.. since the guys infront are faster, and guys behind are slower, it is just doing your laps.. Reverse grid forces you to think and act, move around the slow guys, outbrake some one.. make sure you exit quicker and overtake em... etc etc.. I like the action, and incidents belong to racing..

btw if you got/get smashed from behind your not fast enough (just kidding)

Most of the really fun races I had where on reverse grid servers. You finnish top 5 start at the back, and fight your way to the top 5 again

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Have you actually been to any other "lands" though? Try the Netherlands for starters.

I must say, as a Dutchy, I feel ashamed of the path our political leaders have headed. More and more things that contradict the once free minded way of thinking, plus our Bakellende (the chief) seems to like Bush alot and does everything Bush asks of him. While it seems we are not really helping rebuilding country's but it looks more like we are shooting people because they are hungry...
That said I must say that at our last elections it was a very close call between CDA and PVDA. CDA got the most votes but not enough to rule on it own, so they had to find a partner, but instead of PVDA (or more left winged party) they went for D66 + VVD, which left us with a more right minded, or kapitalistic goverment. So our current path of politics doesn't represent 47% of our voters... Lets just hope that at the next election things are a bit more balanced...

I think the sentence "The land of the free" is a contradiction in it self..

How can a bordered in patch of earth be "free" ? illepall

But seeing as many American inhabbitants take it as a personal insult I won't go in to any of the political "things"...

Respecting the death is never wrong, might be even nicer if you show your grace to all those died and not only your "own", ow and who have fought in a war..

Funny thing that wikipedia, "Nowadays most Americans use the date as merely marking the unofficial start of the summer vacationing season as many government parks and beaches start their summer schedule on the Friday before. Many outdoor community swimming pools also open on this day."


But again, I hope every human being feels good and happy And thus I apologize if I offended anyone with speaking my opinion, cause I don't live in "The land of the free"...

In normal racing situation you where in the lead (unless you saw a blue flag but then you should not keep the racing line, but give him the inside line trough the turn), so you where aloud to make blocking move, as long as hey wasn't next to you.. It is his responsiblity to pass you with out harm.
But as stated before most people on an oval server have a short temper and they might start spamming "SHIFT+S" etc at the slightst racing incident illepall

Ofcourse everyone is entitled to their own fun

This has been suggested since the pre S1 days I think...

This feature could also mean a comeback of the qualify function. After all cars have finnished the track gets switched a qualify of 5 minutes or whatever the admin selects starts, after that the race is held. When finnished the track is switched again etc etc...

This also prevents the eternal shift+r waiting... so maybe even if this feature is not implemented an auto-restart feature can be fixxed, once again after x amount of time after all cars have finnished.. or make more parameters admin selectable..

It was even suggested once that this could be a nice way to hold mini leagues... 3 tracks make up the league, you get points for each finnish and after 3 races you see a nice standings post, that gets reset again.. again the amount of track in the minileague can be set by admin, maybe even the points system can be set by admin.. If you join on the second track you get a DNF in the standings for the first race. But next "season" you can join in again..

But I guess Scawen has his reasons not to have coded in the feature a long long time ago

Quote from mrbogeyman :

its like the plebs that say "dont test drugs on animals".....pffffffffft. ok, lets NOT cure cancer etc then, lets all die of curable diseases! or lets all be guinea pigs like those dudes who got royally screwed up in that recent clinical testing trial

this is going nicely off-topic

illepall I put some more oil on the fire..

There is a way way overpopulation... of humans.. a few humans less that die of "natural causes" couldn't hurt (sorry sorry sound a bit harsh not trying to disrespect someone) But in a general way of think I don't think it is helping natural selection, and thus the evolution our species by having everyone not able to survive on their ow kept alive for 40 years in a hospital. And not even giving them the choice if they even want to.... But indeed this is all a bit offtopic.. so might move the discussion there

I do think though that with the internet and all WE can make a change.. power is no longer up there, it is down here amongst us!!

VIVA THE REVOLUTION


(SMOKE goes back to his powerhungry pc, ignoring the world, and hunting for the next pb, as this will be the solution to all man's problems!)

Hehehe, I actually would like to see racing done with enviroment friendly cars, like electro/solar/hydro orwhatever cars... not like the endu type thing in Aussie but on normal track with lap times and gaps etc etc.. think it would be a big boost to the technologie and a big boost to public interest.. oil is running out, and more and more people have astma or what not due to polution..

Or maybe races with a set limit of fuel.. say 10 liter for 1,5 hours of racing orso Who can get the fastest with the least use of fuel

Do you know alcohol is way more harmfull and addictive then canabis? But still most country's have a no go on canabis. And this is all due to our culture and has nothing to do with facts... a bit like they burned people for think the earth was round instead of flat

Weight adding is not always the solution IMHO, add some weight in your lx4 tank it the car handles alot better... weight distribution allong the car body has a great effect on handeling.. thus just simply adding weight could actually make a car easyer to control and faster trough and out of turns..

I'm not sure what needs to be done to the TBO class for the cars to be similar on the long run. (balancing is not just a WR/1 lap thing IMHO, but tire/fuel usage should also be taken in to account, the GTR class and endu leagues clearly show this).

IMHO why make classes if the league are forced to go one car only?

IMHO, balancing out can be done by adding wheight or reducing HP/Torque or a milion other things..

IMHO, this had been a problem since S1.. so a long long time (FXO is atleast)
It was once said they could not balance it out in just some patch since all replays would be lost etc. etc. Well they just released a patch that forced this. I can understand Scawen, Eric and Victor having more on their hands then to test a car balacing HP by HP, Kilo by Kilo, but isn't that a thing beta testers can do?

It just gets me worked up when I corner faster in my rb4 and the xrt who made a mistake still catches me on the straights.. let alone the fxo, fxo is just not in the same class... This is the very problem that after a while got me very dissapointed in S1, please please plz don't let it happen to S2 again.

The idea of classes is very nice, some people like FWD other RWD or AWD. And classes lets all these people come together and enjoy them selfs (the main point of a game/hobby). I love LFS, been here for a long time, planning to stay here for a long time to come. But forcing servers to run RB4&XRT only, or league to go one car only just for the sake of fair competition is not a plus

Well, since most responses here think FXO should keep its advantage. And people should not complain I'll stop now, just thought it was taking an awfull long time for an "ancient" class like TBO to be balanced....

SMOKE out!

Hmm I think my point is being missed a bit... Now people can't know that the skin they are using was not intended for them. Thus I think before you even start looking for crackable solution.....
Just create an option for LFSW uploaded skins to be marked for public use or not, thus players atleast know that the skin they like so much is actually a private skin of someone or of a teamskin etc etc

continue discussion about how every lock a man can make a man can brake...

edit:

Quote :

It does seem people do use skins out of skins_x folder.

Alot of people aren't photoshoppers, and I think alot of the skinner do intend their skins for public use. So this is not a problem, but if you are new to the game how should they know Ocrana is a team

IMHO it never hurt to try and find a solution, leaving it as is is kinda giving up on mankind

As stated before, the protection doensn't have to 100% watertight, be creating a few hurdles can never hurt (most people are to lazy/dumb to crack it) plus I think some users might not know it is a teammembers only skin.. it works the other way around 2, what if you create nice skins you would like everybody to use at their free will, wouldn't you like a feature that promotes those skins? Thus indeed create a difference between Private and Public skins? I think most users will go by this simple rule only.. "aah I see it is a private skins, ok, I wont use it, and look for a nice public skin"...

You could then even have a little warning send to server admins, playerX is using a private skin that he aint aloud to use.. then admins could chose them self to give a warning/kick/ban or what just tolorate....

So to summarize, dont go for an all out protection like the demo/S2 unlock protection, but just a simple feature telling users what skins they can use for themself, and what skins skinners would like to keep for them selfs...

Just my 2 cents...

I think if more people would join an emty server and set their favorite combo that aint driven that much, wait a few minutes till others join... once you have like 4 people in a server things start to speed up and more players join...

So it is a matter of not acting like sheep all the time and joining the 13 players in a server game, but try joining that one guy on this combo you havn't done yet... you might find out that it is fun !

Thank you mucho's again and again LiveForSpeed dev team!!!

This has been a great game for the past years, and now it has become even better, with just that tad more grip allowing for closer racing and thus more fun!

Roadcars are superb, and the bf1 is just lethal!

Thanks Scawen, Eric and Victor for or your time and dedication!

All this teasing reminded me of the pre S2 shots, http://www.liveforspeed.net/pa ... s/screenshots/17_3_21.jpg.
I rember there being a big riot back then too People check every other screenshot for clue's etc. I think the dev's just have a cruel sence of revenge for all us complaining and moaning

Big ups to the dev's for getting a bunch of sim geeks all worked up

#1. It's Tons of Fun!

If that's lfs what he is driving I'm eating my socks... (or maybe one is enough)

lol speeding in the pitlane now loses your s2 license!

Great movie in your signature there GabKicks...

Greetings, I think although there are only a few tracks, there is still alot of fun to be had. So me is looking for some mud and dirt leagues, if there aint one, we could gather with some rally minded folk set a date and have a nice evening.
