Quote from BAMBO :...I didn't had anything better to do...

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?

Quote from BAMBO :
...You probably never heard of it,...

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.

Quote from BAMBO :...due to the fact it isn't advertised...

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.

Or the intel racing tour in combination with the BF1 (and where the winner won a real car )
http://www.intel.com/corporate ... /deu/racingtour/index.htm

etc. etc.

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 but not least did you played some iRacing?
Quote from BAMBO :
...it's a code you usually get e-mailed by the ishop ,which is usually one of the websites that also had a mirror download
on the game's main web page, from where you bought it with your imoney




just my 2 cents (but you asked for it)

Quote from ussbeethoven :Well, new track? Aston came with 0.5P, but has been updated (graphics, AS6+7 configurations) for patch S along with the BF1.

Yep, I was wrong, it was also "just" new configs
Aston came with 0.5P

So it's 3 years and 9 month since we got a complete new track.

Quote from The Very End :Not to sound like a crying kid, but isn't it almost 4 years since new track?

No you're wrong:
EDIT: No I was also wrong

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)

Quote from fujiwara :Pamela Gidley from the Cherry 2000 flick.

but I loved that gorgeous cherry robot too
Pamela Gidley was great (go get me a coke )

btw
Also Melanie Griffith looked good in that movie and she had back then not these plastic surgery monster lips
(time to watch that movie again)

Quote from senn :it has an MRT5 in it, and the new logo, therefore, not old.

It's from december 2003 when the MRT was released as car #8 (iirc) in the christmas patch
so it's kinda old I would say

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.

Quote from sinbad :I think the target audience is a bit more wide-ranging than that. It's meant to appeal to young men who might have liked the cartoon or played with the toys as children too.

I know sinbad, it was just exaggerated.


btw they already cut the 2nd movie differently to get a better MPAA rating, from R (not under 17) to PG-13, just to make it suitable for the mass.

Anyway me as a big sci-fi freak will watch it, like I did with almost every other sci-fi movie/tv-series in the past 20 years

Quote from DeadWolfBones :First one was horrible.

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.


Quote from Inouva :
Also i see the second movie , is directed by steven spielberg ,

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.

Quote from Fujioshi :Ok, well for sure it isnt my pc here are my specs

*7800 G Force

*500 Gb Of HD

*3 Gb of RAm

*Running DSL

*3 Fans runing this BEAST! :P

so it only leaves the host having unnotified promblems or im in a bad connection spot :/

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.

Quote from rockclan :That was just so mean

I wanted to organise a little LAN-Party as a LFS Meeting...
But I'm thinking I might should not anymore....

I come near to tears. [irony off]
Stop trying to act as if you are a victim.

You asked in your first post - you got your answer:
You are a cheater and you can't be trusted anymore.

It's that simple!

Quote from rockclan :Dear LFS'ers

As most of you might know, I cheated online...
As an fair result of that I got banned from many places...

But the thing about is I'm a serious racer now.
But I'm getting refused at many places because of my dark history/start at S2.

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.

Quote from rockclan :
...
People are still blame me for cheating and call me a speedhacker and I'm getting sick of it.

You should have thought about that before you did it.

Quote from rockclan :
...
I admit I did something wrong but don't I deserve a second chance ?
...
So to all admins and organizers, I would like to request to forgive me and lets start a new fresh start!

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."


Quote from rockclan :
I hope you guys understand that I would like a new start at S2, because I ****ed it up big time, and wish I never did it...

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.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :I agree but with not the overrated part. So he did bad in DTM - so what. It's not like Mika or Alesi or HHF destroyed everyone in DTM. And its not like he didn't give JPM, Hill and Trulli a good run for their money in F1. Lets not compare apples with oranges please.

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
