Quote from Albieg :Curiously enough, as a newbie who doesn't go online often, I second the position of SamH. I didn't express my opinion about that before because I don't think there's always strength in numbers. But now I feel I have to do it. Although BigDave may have some points, his initial attitude, as pointed out by some other forum users, is somewhat elitist and doesn't consider at all the fact that the BF1 is completely new, so the mayhem could well be over in some time. For practical reasons LFS won't go far if this elitist attitude will prevail. That's why I was particularly glad to see an experienced LFSer like The Angry Angel agreeing with me. But anyway, consensus is not truth. We'll just have to wait and see.

How do you mean by my initial attitude? *If it helps, I'm asking in curiosity, not in anger. *

Just give the whip on the backside, and they will get the job done.

Quote from SamH :I'm gobsmacked to see this thread. We've had the BF1 how long, and already people are pointing and screaming n00b at the slower drivers?

I've never seen anything more ridiculous get so much unwarranted affirmation. It's pathetic. Get real.

It's pathetic. Get real. Pity I expected more from you because everyone is talking about this apporpriatley, and not discussing the "quality" of this topic. If you don't like this topic, you don't have to post here.

There is a difference. Drivers with months, even years experience on LFS, that can quickly adapt to the BF1, and drive away and win consecutive races. If you see on the replay of "BF1 Style" 1st place battle was enjoyable, and how it should be, especially after a few days.

But still a majority of new drivers and heading straight to BF1s instead of the more basic cars, and they are becoming full of themselves, and think they know what the braking point is, and making the corner. Especially when they spin, and not pit at all. *especially when they are on the racing line*

Quote from Batterypark :Mkinnov, people who lack the ability to drive the BF1 adequately, much less race it properly, should practice somewhere else than in online races. Also, being a newbie and being new to BF1 are very different things.

Agreed. I have already got used to the TC and speed of the F1 car, the difference is, that they have no clue of experience about braking points, turnings. I'm just repeating waht Batterypark has said here.
BF1 Racing, how it should be

This is how BF1 racing should be.

Take a look at this replay (BF1 STYLE) and look at the first and second driver *me* nothing but pace racing, times nearly the same, and not a driver to spoil it. I most certainly enjoyed that race. Now I can understand that its only 2drivers, but you can see that both of us were driving appropriatley and fairly. I can understand that its only come out on Friday, but surely just after a few days of driving the same car, you would be adapted to the TC, the braking points, and the high speeds of this car?


Not like this in blackwood. (BF1 TWITS) - the title is not to insult members, but as a joke, because I was laughing my head off when I saw the accidents. I was twit myself when I took the first corner, and missed a gear and spun off into some poor sod.

Just shows how bad it can be, at the beginning, expecially with lots of newbies on board. Now I can understand that there are so many drivers dying to try out the BF1, but shouldn't we practice on the slower formula cars, to adapt to the open wheelers, before taking part in the BF1. These cars are so fast, that you would have no idea, when to turn, when to brake, and when to put the foot down again. The BF1 isn't going anywhere, and you can use it anytime you wish, but shouldn't you practice on the slower cars first, to get the feel of things, before actually moving on to the fastest car of the game?

It is going to be very hard to get a good race going for everyone involved the BF1, if drivers don't have the experience to deal with the BF1s. It is recommended that all drivers, even experienced ones, should drive on the Formulas, V8s for a while before driving the BF1. I have done that myself.

Quote from bal00 :Stop bumping this already.

I am more or less asking the questions in humour than "bumping" the topic. You can always ignore the topic, and wait for the mods to clear it all out.

Quote from inCogNito :i wonder if there really are any moderators around?

i mean a fake "Patch is out" thread hast to be deleted (or at least closed) without any comment.
As well as those other total pointless threads.

i don't get it.

I will say my defense into that. I only put that in for a little bit of humour, because everyone seemed a bit too tense waiting for the patch to come out. So I put that in to break the ice.

Pointless threads are there yes, but thats all due to the excitement of this patch. Once everyone gets a shot on it and takes it out of their system, everything will soon be back to the way it was before the announcement of the F1 patch.

I have nothing agaisnt people like to posting and comunicate together but its starting here to be a bit more messy and when I am looking for something quicky its just a bit hard.I am not talking about search function.

Many thanks in advance to Moderators or Devs.

I agree, but everyone is extremely excited, once its calms down, all will be back to normal.
