Quote from himself :

When I'm playing LFS I am feeling like playing small plastic toys around plastic track with plastic trees and so on. Everything is shiny, clear, bright. Crash sounds like throwing the carton box from the table <tump>. Engine sounds like an electric one from my chooo-chooo Fleishman <bzzzz>. When I have an accident at 200 kmh I have only a small deformation like the car was made with clay. It even has black someting instead of bottom texture like toys often do. The asphalt is clear all around. No sand on it, no grass, no debrits. The windshield is perfectly transparent.

... there is nothing mettalic, heavy or deadly in here. Even though physics are accurate I can not have a feeling I am controlling a thousand something kg vehicle but a small tiny toy.


I downloaded Grand Prix Legends demo. Even though track was not so detailed as Blackwood I had a real feeling i was driving a car. Things like dirty mirrors, powerfull engine gang and inscriptions on tyres convinced me about it. That small details. And they are missing in LFS.

What do you think?

I think you didn't played LFS enough to equitable judge about it. But when i first played it years ago i also thought it was crap. But then i got nice setups and saw what is possible when you train hard and have a feeling for driving.

My Advise:
Get the full version, come back and try to beat some of the fast guys and soon you notice that LFS is the real challenge.

I don't care about nice gfx or great sounds but i like to race a real sim and the physics in LFS is something no other sim can give you atm.



btw i've never seen an alpha version of a game running so rock stable like LFS does.

We do our best to win this years funniest Team awards

I first raced the demo in early 2003 and i didn't liked it. illepall
Then i totally forgot about the game.

I moved to another town and there was no DSL available so I needed something with a good netcode to play online with dialup connection and a friend said try the LFS demo, it's for free .

I tried LFS (in dec. 03) again and found out how "easy" it was as long as you have a good setup (I soon got some good setups from Macest and some other fast drivers) .

Then i played it for almost half a year and in May 2004 i bought it (thanx to GP4Flo and the chance to buy it with bank transfer because i had no credit card at that time ).

And since that i think i only played 5 or 6 other non-racing games and tested a few racing games but LFS is just the one and only.

I never played a game that often and that long (stll looking for S2-final and the next Stage)

For those who like statistics a lot (like me) I created some for this race:

Gratz and a Happy Birthday to you all

I like your new skins and i'm looking forward to the movie.

Go for another year

What a nice race but i wished i told my pitcrew to not change all 4Tires.
That costed me a place or 2.

Anyway it was fun. Thx SDRA for hosting it.

I'm really looking forward to this race.
I hope we all have lots of fun

Thus we fall back onto respect for another. Since this community prides itself on being helpful, friendly and above all respectful of each other, for the majority that shouldn't be a problem. That said the minority will always exist, and it is up to the majority to point out the error of their ways to that minority.

I totally agree with that.

Quote from danowat :

...you don't automatically get a copyright on something because you have made it, at least in the UK, you first need to apply for patents, registered designs or trademarks, before you can have a copyrighted item....

Guys in my eyes this is definitive wrong!

The British law states that an individual's work is placed under copyright law as soon as it leaves that person's mind and is placed in some physical form, be it a painting, a musical work written in manuscript or an architectural schematic.

Of course there are many exceptions like when you are an employee and create something for your company etc. but the need to register it first was abolished a long time ago (i think in 1956).

Of course it's better to register your work because you can much easier prove that is your work if you have to go to court, but it's not necessary.

You automatically have the copyright on your "work" (painted skin or whatever).

btw patents, trademarks and copyrights are three completely diverse things.

What he said

Quote from Richard Torp :

...BBO do you want me to look at it? ...

Nope because i think it was more imprudently but not really intentionally. It's forgotten now and I hope the next race will be better for all of us

i'm a bit pissed about what happend. For me clean racing also means to give room (or slow down a bit) when a driver is blue flagged - most of you guys did it very nice and sportsman like.

I was leading the field in main race and lost time because i had to fight with Ant(UK) (on Place 9 i think) for almost 2 laps till he crashed after i honked behind him in the second lap.

In lap 36 the same thing FiredUp on P1 now and me only 0.4 secs behind and Ant(UK) didn't let him pass on the straight and then in T1 he tried to drive between me and FiredUp and i hit him. This was completly unnecessary man because you was 12th at this time and no one could steal you your position or something.

I don't mean you have to go on the gras when the leaders are behind you and you are lapped but use a bit common sense next time. It's really easy just lift of the pedal for one or two tenth of a second on the straight etc and let the guys who fight for the win pass.

You really destroyed my race.

Quote from Richard Torp :

At least people should know by now that we dont drive as a team... ...
Maybe we should do Rallys instead....BBO co. driver...

I think :hihi:you are the guy that also likes to talk during races , so you better take the co-driver seat

To the other penalties:
Hmm i'm not happy (but also not unhappy) to gain places by that but we had that "talking rule" in the last race and penalties were given and this time Richard told it to everyone in front of the races again. And i think it's not necessary that the host tells it at the end of the race again, because everyone knows this rule.

It's not the point that someone or who started with it, fact is that there was talking. It's against the rules, so penalties had to be given.

btw
I also didn't know what he meant with "sccchhhy" but I always watch the little coloured dots on the map when i finished the race. So i can see if there is someone still racing or not ;-)
