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
I don't really blame it (as it's not a racing simlator, so not comparable) but others do it
maybe because like someone else wrote here "NFS is the complete opposite of LFS and that makes it easier to show off the differences"
Or maybe because the more NFS games come out the more it is developed into a completly different direction then LFS.
While a lot of the older LFS fans want more restrictions for realistic setups, tire choices etc.,
the "usual NFS guy" that comes to this forum asks "why is there no NOS, neon, why can't I tweak the engine and race online etc..
They usually show not the real understanding of what LFS is for many of us or what a racing simulator is in general,
mainly because they are to used to the newer flashing unrealistic NFS games stuff.
Or maybe because the name NFS usually embodies today
most of the things a hardcore sim racer doesn't want or like
Side note: I started my online racing career in 1998 or 99 when EA developed the beta online gameserver for Need for Speed High Stakes
I liked it when the World Rankings (early LFSW) were introduced and I spend so many sleepless nights to get into the top5 there.
I also bought my first wheel because of the first NFS games and got DSL in 1999 because of it etc.
So it also brought me into online racing and I had a great time with it and lots of others.
But like you said the newer titels are games for the masses developed to feed the crowd
Oh and last but not least I do remember your websites and liked them.
Funny just noticed you live in the same city as me
Not really a question
but I hope we'll see / can drive someday a newer version of the MRT (7,8,9,X) in LFS instead of the six (or is it seven) year old MRT5.
Maybe you just forgot that you and N.Murray have driven with one of our T7R drivers (three_jump) in the Murray Motorsport Cup where he also used our Tag and the colours. http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... id=71413&d=1227818163
Nevertheless thank you for your cooperation and good luck with your Team.
