I dream about little things that brings more fun into strategic driving:
- Tyre change (only 1 tyre or just both in the front etc. not just all after %)
- Damage repair (on/off - I don't want to be repaired all the time)
- Short Time based racing instead of laps (I mean less then 1 hour, what about 15, 30 and 45 min. races)
- Oh and let us search the online servers in game by name , ping and by track (not only by cars)
It's been awhile since I drove and lead a race on an public S2 server and beeing wrecked by an Idiot (driving in the wrong direction). I explained i t to the others and then started a vote but no one voted.
Then he wrecked the new leader and he started a vote but none of the other drivers did something. I explained it again and told them that he is standing on the track and will do it again etc. - no reaction from the others - and then he wrecked the next leader...
Since that I mostly (99% of the time) only drive in league races or with trusted friends if they are online.
So my vote goes for a global ban-list (or something similar)
Becky from your point of view or lets better say with your logic that means that Button is the biggest cheater of all times because he once had a 2nd (secret) tank in his BAR-Honda and didn't told the stewarts about it.
Do you really think the drivers build the cars or they are responsible for mysterious aerodynamic behavior of the wings?
Or the Drivers are responsible for the right petrol (once Benetton und Williams had the wrong fuel at the same time)
The Drivers usually do what they been told. If the Team says i.e. to Schumacher like they did in the silverstone race in (i think) 1998 "wait with your stop-and-go penalty till the last lap because there is a flaw in the rules and you can still win with it" Then every Driver would do so. (Btw. this penalty was cancelled by the stewarts the same day. So he had won the race anyway.)
Something else is when J. Villeneuve blocked Giancarlo Fisichella at the Nürburgring. His penalty was his 3 fast qualifying laps didn't count because he hindered Fisichella. I would call things like that "the driver tried to cheat" because this is usually caused by the driver himself. But who knows maybe he was told to do so over the pit radio. We'll never know.
This and most of your other statements shows that you know as much about F1 as the man in the moon.
I'm not a Ferrari or Schumacher Fan but the driver with the most F1 Records (most Champ. - Titles, most victories per season, most championship points, most poles, most race victories, most fastest laps...) doesn't derserve respect? illepall
Ok tbh the best way to "move up the not really existing list" is write in our Forum and be active there and drive with us to get known by others of the Team ('cause we only invite drivers) and then if your attitude and behavior fits into our Team you'll maybe asked one day by Fordman.
That's how it usually goes
Note to myself:
Kajojek moves up 497 places for buying me nice stuff
Oh but he also moves down 497 places for don't reading my post about the "stick out tongue thing" properly
Wo said posts have to be positive and that I have to like everyone?
It's just my opinion about some of what he wrotes and answered in this thread
(maybe read all the posts in here)
For me it's like he tries to blame someone else for things he couldn't get.
He couldn't drive S1 for long that's bad luck ok but that's life.
I can't count the games I can't play online because no one else plays them or the companies shut the servers down. That's just normal and is not a special fancy by the LFS devs.
I would say:
If you don't like what you get, don't buy it and try to find something better. But I don't think you can find something better then LFS today.
Wow I still got the feeling that you made yourself a lot of real big friends in the community with all your absolute fantastic "non-troll-like" arguments in this thread.
Now every 1 is happy that such a fantastic guy like you is buying an S2 license and they all can't wait to see your phenomenal driving.
We all waited for so long just for a guy like you who opend our eyes and showed us how expensive LFS is and whats wrong with us blind sheeps following scavier and their subtle marketing tricks.
the release date of S2 alpha was:
sat, Jun. 25th, 2005 20:00
and your Join Date shows Apr 2004
So you could play S1 full for almost 14 month. That's a long time in games business if you ask me.
I bought one day the game ONI which was really nice. I only played it through all levels once (think I needed about a week) and now I wanted to play it again but it doesn't run on my 64bit machine and the developers didn't make any patches. To bad I think I paid 40 Euros for it and now its worthless. But hey that's life.
I also bought a 19" CRT monitor for almost 600 Euros. If I want to sell it now I think I will get around 110 Euros on Ebay because of TFT's. That's called progress.
Someone wrote here something really good:
"Just because nobody else plays S1 anymore doesn't mean the software suddenly doesn't work. It only means that people have moved on to something newer and more feature-filled."
