What's the meaning of it all?
For me it doesn't make much sense to post a review of LFS in the official LFS forum?
People who read this forum already know about LFS or use common sense and maybe click on the above links (LFS Main Site) to find out what it is.
I think that is completly wrong.
LFS is well advertised where it makes sense.
Keep in mind that it is an alpha version, how would you advertise it compared to other finished products?
In magazines or on TV?
There has been a lot of advertising during the last years. I remember the MPh'05 Show where one of our members did the promotion for LFS together with the Cyberseat guys and a special LFS version
(Fordman the 1st guy in the .avi video ) http://www.cyberseat.co.uk/easshow.htm
Or the Games Convention where 4 players.net had an exhibition stand and GP4Flo showed the visitors how to drive LFS.
And the Ocrana guys (now SK) had a big show on the Fujitsu Siemens / AMD booth. http://www.triple7racing.net/content/view/59/48/
Or the last time the LFS devs made a special LFS version with the scirocco just for the Games Convention fair.
So imo it's pretty well advertised in places and in combination with other things (racing seats, manufacturers of hardware or cpu like intel and amd etc.) where it makes sense.
Sure it's not advertised in the usual way (like TV or magazines) but with a lot of "free" work from many many community members.
Last new configs 21.04.2006:
Aston configs (together with the BMW F1)
24.06.2005:
Aston came with 0.5P
So it's 3 years and 9 months since we got a complete new track
btw:
I also always thought the Miami track became South City
nevertheless I would also love to get a new track or two. It's about time
(plz not another refurbished one - as Blackwood still is Blackwood, no matter how often it was repainted and slightly changed)
Strange, maybe I looked at the wrong date (25th) but it still shows 2 races and: 22:15 [CAD] Destruction Derby 1st of 26 23:22 (FM) OvaL JuNkieS 1 9th of 10
Maybe there is something wrong with your browser cache?
Did you tried to clean it.
I agree. Great effects but I missed a good story or complex characters or something that made it special
but hey, what can you expect when the target audience has the range from 6 to 16.
Where did you saw that?
Spielberg is executive producer nothing more.

Anyway I'll watch the 2nd part but def. not going into the cinema for something like that.
I think the much more important question is:
What's your DSL line speed (i've seen people who got DSL with only ~350kb/s over here)
and what are the pings of the servers you got problems with or where you noticed the, for you, bad lag.
Does it happen everytime on every server or just when a (almost) full grid is there.
Do you have an extra firewall installed etc. etc.
There are so many reasons for lag but I'm sure it's not the latest patch.
As for me and everyone I know and race with none of the past S2 patches was producing more or less lag.
Same with Z. Works fine like always.
You can click on the language and choose "Italiano"
to get an italien version of the "Buy a Live for Speed license" site
("Compra una licenza Live for Speed")
Really interesting and well made low budget movie with nice CGI effects.
I read somewhere they have also finished the 2nd part
but still waiting with teh release.
All we have is the word of someone who already cheated online / speedhacked, uploaded cheated hotlaps, banned for ramming/wrecking from CTRA (which he forgot because of his personal problems).
What's that worth?
Not much for me tbh.
You should have thought about that before you did it.
whenever I think about giving people in such cases a second change or get weak in my decision, then I remember the first online FPS game I played: Delta Force Land Warrior. Some started the cheat there then others thought they can only be good or equal when they also cheat and in the end more then 50% of the people cheated. The whole game was f*)ked up because of them and because of the devs from Novalogic who did not much against the cheaters. 35 Euros for an unplayable online game (I really do hate cheaters)
Thank God the devs here have a different attitude or like Victor wrote: "...'cheat once, get banned'. We don't divert from that rule, ever."
I understand it and I also wished you never did it.
But
I have zero tolerance for cheaters.
So you'll never race in my leagues or on our server with your actual account.
Like others suggested. Get another license for a fresh start,
in the end you finally can do something positive for the community
in buying another license from the devs.
I'm not comparing apples and oranges, it's my opinion.
I never really found him special as he never really (or maybe one or two times) showed something special in F1 or was an outstanding driver or a special character or personality for me.
He had his moments (over 2 or 3 seasons) when he drove the BMW Williams but you could have placed almost any other F1 driver into that car at that time to get good results.
6 F1 wins in 11 years and 180 races - so what
He also completly failed (for me) in the last 3 years when he was at Toyota even he was one of the best payed drivers. I always wondered for what they payed him so much.
If you see Ralf differently then me, it's ok.
There's no accounting for taste.
When I look at what other rookies did in a last years car in DTM then he completly failed there. But now he gets an actual new car.
Well let's wait and see but I would really be more then surprised if any thing good will come out of this.
Reminds my of one of the trips to Wales I did with my football team many many (over 20) years ago.
I played on such a machine (almost drunk) for the first and last time and didn't really understood what I have to get or to press to win etc..
I spend the last 3 pounds I had and after awhile everyone around me freaked out and they covered the numbers/dices on the screen with their hands etc.
Then I won over 50 pounds which was iirc 3,4 or 3,5x Deutsche Mark and lots of money at that time and especially when you are 15
And the win came out in 10 pence coins, I had to borrow a bag to get the money away from that pub
