Or Schanche and Alimatti at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQSqE7tznJ4

They tried to kill each other!

Martin Schanche is known to be a bit of a hot head!! (at 2:00 he hits a reporter)

Btw he was one of the best rally cross driver on this planet and have made a lot of Norwegians proud...

This is how brutal rallycross can be

Yes But I am talking about.. brutal but not to brutal...

This is how brutal rallyx can be... :-)

But sadly LFS has a collision bug, so being that brutal is a problem

+1 for track modding!!

But....

1. New tracks must be approved by a "track board"/lfs team
2. Make them downloadable through LFS so that the user always will have the latest version

The board will make sure that we only get quality tracks. They can/will also integrate them in LFS World. It take time to make quality tracks and approve them so there will not be pouring in tracks. My guess is that there will be a healthy growth of new tracks. I think this will be good for LFS!!

An Idea could be to have a Global Crash! If an server have a Global Crash for lets say 10 minutes then you can't race for 10 minutes no matter which server you race on. Both the option for Global Crash and the time it will take to repair the car should be configurable. If you have a so called Major amount of damage you will have to wait. Small amount of damage will be repaired between races.
It should also be possible for an admin to clear damage for a driver. This is important if you crash because of lag or some idiot taking people out on purpose. But the good thing is that the idiot probably want be able to race on any servers in the specified Global repair time.

When you join a server with Global repair time you will be warned of this. This will hopefully keep some of the idiots away from the server.

Love it!

Now we just need to remove the chase view

A function like that should not be possible to configure... !!
It should be equal for everyone...

He said hopefully before Christmas, so it could be the 24th for all we know,.

That is not good for family life

/repair_in_pit=full/partial/no

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

IRL there isn´t anything like lag...

IRL you have mechanical failure and problems
btw, damage should be able to configure from the server, so that you can have leagues that run with full damage with no repair in pit and others that run with repair and maybe half damage.

Quote from mrodgers :

Again, this is not saying that there wouldn't be a benefit to having more tracks. You can never say that a new track is a bad thing. It's just that saying we don't have enough and it's boring is what is wrong.

I totally agree with you that the tracks in LFS are not boring, but other maybe think so ??. But I think that not having RL tracks keeps some people away from LFS. We all know that track modding is not coming anytime soon, but as long as its not possible to mod people will complain

Quote from The Very End :

but nowdays it seems that most servers has below 10 people, and thats too little for some of the configs.

That should be a good enough evidence that LFS need new content. And I think that the philosophy that no real tracks are needed is a problem for LFS in the long run! LFS will lose ground to rFactor, iRacing, etc... I know so many people that say they do not race LFS because the lack of real tracks I don't mind not racing real tracks but some people do

What is waste of time is everyone keeping threads alive pointing out that it is a waste of time not to search and saying it has been posted before(taking a breath). Some people do not live on these forums, they actually have houses

I want an server option called "no_repair_in_pit".

Quote from Dajmin :

There's no point adding longer tracks in, because nobody drives the long tracks we already have. Look at Aston GP/GT and Fern Bay Black - there are no servers running them, simply because nobody seems to like them that much.

Well.. I have driven them in leagues...
If you make 1 long track you could probably have 2-5 small configurations. And the good part is that you can reuse what you have done on the long track. So it make sense to make 1 long track with configurations rather than making 2-5 small tracks where you have to graphically design everything for each track without reusing stuff...

Quote from The Very End :

but I hope they are coming with a new track soon

ME TOO...

Quote from The Very End :

Agree with you. I hope that new tracks in LFS will be pretty short, because it`s on the short tracks the good racing is. Short is meaning something like 30 sec to 1 min and 30 sec laps. If they add a new very long track people wouldn`t like it I belive, because there would be like driving alone on track since it`s big. Fe club is a great track on CTRA servers now days, and it shows that short tracks usually gives the best races, tho it can be frustrating with backmarkes, but thats a other topic

+1 for short tracks and city tracks.

I kind of agree, but a short track that is difficult is not a good pickup track. Most people (even fast drivers) make mistakes if its to difficult. So short easy (or even long) gives close races.

I hope they will make some new long tracks and provide them with short configurations. Then we get both short and long tracks. I guess that will also save development time.

Quote from AndroidXP :

What I'm trying to say is, Eric is doing tracks, Scawen is doing AI. If Scawen stopped improving the AI, Eric would not magically create the tracks any faster than before.

But I still want to see more tracks before AI
btw, I don't want any AI at all.... but that is of curse my personal opinion... I will never use it anyways.... Online racing is what this sim is all about...

We need new tracks not better AI

Can mouselook be used with this ??

Any news ??

Mirror LOD = 0.30

Real... but i get the same blinking if I set them to all or virtual.

I have not tested replays, but its when I am racing or watching others. The mirrors in other cars even blink when I am sitting in my car. In short every mirror blink, not just in my car.

The blinking is blue and showing normal behavior. The mirrors are not all blue but a pattern.. blocks and thick lines... So I will always see some of the mirror but often blue blocks and thick horizontal lines.

I have attached a screen capture.

Driving a car i netkar and lfs gives me the same feeling... rfactor is a different story... netKar is going to be a god racing sim!! The flatspot shaking is extremely breathtaking. btw its not there in v1.0.2 but will be back in v1.0.3 (due in September) Hope LFS will get flatspot FF...

+1 for flatspot FF

I have been testing more...
I have no blinking mirrors in window mode. And if I am in full screen mode and press esc the blinking goes away. But I want to drive in full screen and with the menu off

Real, virtual and All has no effect on blinking ....
