ROFL @ Henzler: "after T5 the car wasn't going as fast as before and there was a problem with the right rear..." Yes, a missing tyre can do that Wolf!

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :Honestly I'm not sure why you would call it that? Perhaps in terms of bytes you may be right since it sounds like a new track will be in there, but there really isn't anything new being added to the LFS experience from what I can tell (which is only what's been explicitly said).
[...]
I would call the transmission model update a bigger patch since it actually added something new to the sim.

Tristan is right, you just see it from another angle: content... But the physics haven't been fully rewritten at least since LfS S2 started, maybe longer - only new features were added, so in terms of workload it definitely is the biggest patch ever (pareto principle applies fully here)...

I'd also argue that on importance it may also be the biggest one yet: now that for the first time (more or less) worthy challengers have established themselves this update will determine if people will still follow LfS' development in the future or if they make the switch to another sim of choice complete...

Wrong forum maybe?

Quote from piggy501 :Is there any way I can watch it through the internet, that isn't highlights thrown together with a rock metal death soundtrack over it?

Not live, but full races nonetheless: http://www.youtube.com/user/Lukeyson1981

Maggot, what didn't you like? They put on a hell of a show on both tracks...

Quote from Crashgate3 :I think they're an excellent idea.

May I point you to the MASSIVE figures every car manufacturer spends every year on R&D? Running a fleet of those cars then is child's play in comparison...

Quote from SidiousX :You have to understand, the men and women in the military have morals and values also. Say for instance, the CIC(being hypothetical, I'm not bashing Obama...) orders the Marines to go invade Hawaii, or Florida, or some other state to oppress the civilians, and make mass arrests or executions. Many of them would be like "f*ck that" I have family/friends that live in this area, and would either go AWOL, or rise up. This is especially true if the commander of the certain unit that gets deployed, is highly against this idea. Most soldiers look up to their superiors, and if they see that their CO wants to do the moral thing, then they would most likely follow. If he betrays their trust and decides to do the immoral thing, they would not follow.

"We know there are WMD's on Hawaii! We have uncovered a complot to attack the very foundations of our freedom! The USA won't be save as long as those weapons aren't found and destroyed!"

Repeat that on FOX every day for a month and you'll have volunteer's ready to strike at anything landing on those islands - with rowboats if they must...

Quote from GianniC :Might been discussed before, but I didn't knew we were going to Korea...

http://www.formula1.com/races/ ... _840/circuit_diagram.html

There was little media interest in that yes, but the dedicated motorsport sites did bring the story... Another one that's been built while the season gets underway: on the photo you can even see that there isn't anything built yet - I think they only recently started laying down tarmac...

Just like Abu Dhabi (even more, come to think of it), one asks himself what kind of market the F1 administration sees in Korea... Now, if it were a virtual GP, that would have the whole country watching...

Quote from Ripley :My personal guess to this long delay is that Devs have a sort of "target" (performance wise) that they must reach and meet in the contract they have with VolksWagen...
Until Scirocco isn't perfectly satisfying VW Big Bosses, and until it is not performing as it has to, it won't be released. Of course it must satisfy Dev team, too.
In the meantime, in order to reach this contractual target, tyre physics must be improved, and who knows what else. (Serious) Game developing is not an easy task.

Just take your time Devs!

Forget your train of thought, VW couldn't care less anymore - they got their end of the bargain: that was being able to use a working simulator to have a tournament showcasing their newly launched car at a games expo... That was two years ago, there is no contractual agreement other than the licence to use the virtual representation in a commercial software in effect right now... I even believe Scawen said so himself...

I honestly can't say that - in the few games (as I too suffer from the no connection-issue) I was in, there was always a good mixture of classes... I seem to have been put in good teams though, I haven't lost a round to date with the retail version...

Quote from rc10racer :Guessing some off you might be interested in this no intro folder, better then have they start up when you don't want them to.

Meh, one little Esc and you're in the main menu anyway... Other titles are more annoying with their non-skippable intros...

Finished the SP, good campaign - although the reviewers were right, the story is very cheesy... But BF never was about SP, everyone knows that... Off to the MP servers, /me is bbman (what else?)

If you look for me, I'm at your six, repairing your wheels...

Quote from Xaid0n :Lol, yea that's how I feel Russia got it today, Aussies get it tomorrow and Europe is last as usual

The reason it's released earlier there is so that they at least get 1-2 days at the top before the Europeans come in and pwn everything...

If we had Villeneuve back too, that would be a record number of champions in one season, or do we have that already?

Quote from Caliente :Hi.

I just bought S2 and a G27 after years of drawling. And im in LOVE!
So now I just wonder how/where can i join small tournaments or leagues? What is the requirements to join some?

I saw there was ESL posters in the demo. Does the ESL have ladders and such for this game?

As an old ESL user (i know how shitty that system is) i would prefer something else. If there is.

I think the ESL league is pretty much dead - haven't been there in a long time though so it might have started up again...

Have a look at the Leagues & Events Subforum... Many LfS-Sites, national communities and teams are doing their own little league as well, just click the appropriate banners in the upper right corner of your browser window...

Quote from Timo1992 :Send an email to [email protected] , maybe they can help you to stop this

Hah, you see he can't do that, otherwise he would admit to sharing his account with a friend, a bannable offense of the sporting code...

If a disease has an incubation period of 6 months, you have to wait 6 months, simple as that... Or do you think it's better to import what basically would become a pandemic to an already stricken area just because you didn't want one poor doggy to feel alone?

Quote from Bose321 :Amazon didn't have beta IIRC. How much did you pay for you copy?

Nope, I've been in the Beta... I'll pay whatever is the smallest price that Amazon had since they added the game to their store for my copy and it's even the limited edition where you get the Colt 1911 and the Tommy immediately (not sure I need them)...

Quote from Mango Juice :LFS in DX10, or I guess a jump to DX11, would make the game so much more popular, and better.

How would updating the API make it more popular all of a sudden?

Consider this: DirectX is no more than an interface with a nice library of effects - that's it! DX11 doesn't magically make a program look any nicer or any better than DX8 if the engine doesn't use the new effects!

It's not about what you say, but HOW you say it... Especially with the words you chose the tone in which you say it makes a big difference...
