Quote from PaulC2K :

Shouldnt there be a confirmation list or something? Just saying who's applications you've received.

I also think this could be a good idea, or at least a reply to the mail sent, confirming the application has been received.

Quote from Mazz4200 :

I know i'm a bit late but, for the life of me i can't get number 5

Pull the circle and it will reveal the key... You just have to be fast enough to click in it before it gets covered again...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Edit That sounds like a reasonale viewpoint Sinbad. It is a close call, and certainly not 100% black and white. I sit on one side of the fence, you on the other, but there isn't a vast amount of distance between us (on either side of the fence). But I do get annoyed about those that won't even accept anything in favour of Lewis' punishment - those that suggest he gained no advantage whatsoever from cutting the corner, which is what the penalty was given for.

For me, the biggest problem isn´t there. Ferrari didn´t make any protest about this situation. Acording to a link posted before, even Stefano Domenicali thinks that it was racing. And Kimi didn´t lost this race because of this situation. He lost it because he couldn´t keep his car on the track with that conditions. He even regain first place when Rosberg came into the track, and then spun the car, and finally lost control and crashed into the wall. So, what was the need, to penalise Hamilton in a situation that even you admit it´s "not 100% black and white", and create a "fake" result to this race, that doesn´t translate what happened on the track. I don´t have any preferences for a particular team or driver, but I enjoy seeing races decided on the track, and not by some after race decision. And what I saw on those laps was 2 drivers figthing, under some very difficult conditions, trying to win a race. For Hamilton a 2nd place behind Kimi was a good result. He would win points over Massa, and see Kimi get closer to Massa, not giving the chance to Ferrari choose at this point wich driver would fight for the championship. Instead of doing that he tried to win the race. That should be praised, not penalised.

Quote from Mustafur :

the Massa, kubica thing in japan last year was all forced cuttings.

they were 100% unavoidable were as hamiltons was in somewhat.

but Hamiltons Penalty is mainy due to the fact he didn't give kimi adequate chance to get pass after cutting, not the cut itself.

I hope that you can define what is, acording to F1 regulations, "adequate chance to get pass after cutting", because I didn´t see anyone posting any part of the rules that states what that is, and the decisions in the past on this kind of situation are, to say the least, pretty inconsistent and ambiguous...

Quote from diablo21 :

That pic shows nothing..

I don´t agree... One thing I don´t understand is that people say that Kimi had the right to the line to that right turn since he was on the inside, altough Hamilton, as that pic shows, was ahead under braking. So, following the same logic and since the other turn on that chicane is to the left shouldn´t be Hamilton to have the right to that corner since his car car was much more side by side with Kimi than at the previous corner...
I would understand that point if this was a chicane like the ones we have in LFS, that you can just cut it and make it just one turn, but that is not the case here.

Don´t think this video has been posted before (only onboard from Hamilton and Kimi): http://www.dailymotion.com/vid ... magcom-hamiltonkimi_sport

Quote from Ian.H :

You mean the fact LFS operate as a commercial venture and happily accept people's money, yet work like a half-arsed, lazy, open-source college project?

Maybe if we start to look at LFS as a comercial product, more than "the game we play", it will be easier to understand the choices made in terms of development...
People complain about the time spent on the Asian Translations, but like others already said, that means a huge market that can open for LFS. Besides that we all know that there's a great number of people that use LFS for drifting, and where is Drifting more popular?? Correct me if I´m wrong, but I would say in Asia.
Regarding Patch Z, problably, they could´ve waited a little longer to release all the new interiors at once, but the fact is that the V1 Championship is going to launch this Sunday http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=847110#post847110, which could mean a lot of new people trying the demo. So, updating only the interiors of the cars based on the XFG and XRG (demo cars), means that they will have a better demo to try, and maybe some more licenses sold. Besides that they updated also the interiors of the FOX and F08, wich are other single-seaters apart from the FBM that will be used for V1...
Is this more important than damage and collision improvements or other updates that most of us are allways complaining about?? In terms of bussiness, definitely YES.
So, do I think that the choices made were the best for LFS? I really think so...
Were they the ones that would be better for what I want from LFS? No, surely not...

Quote from Technique :

Exactly, it would be an option - it's not forcing anyone to do anything. My guess is that anyone who hosts a server that intends it to be used for "racing" would want this feature.

Hosts that want people going down the track backwards and crashing people in pit lane can turn this option off.

Hosts that want their server used for "racing" can kick or ban the drivers that they think are not "safe"... If they cannot be on the server they can allow for others to vote and keep the server "safe"...
So, sorry, but I still don´t see the point why this sould be a "built-in" system in LFS.

I don´t really see what LFS would gain in having a feature like that. I don´t like drifting or see the point in cruise servers, but who am I to say to others what they should do with their game. If I want to meet with some friends and just go around the track the wrong way or crashing each other down the pit lane, why shouldn´t I??? If I want to the race in a ladder system like the one in IRacing, I can join CTRA. If what I want is "real" racing I can join a league or even organize my own with the cars that I want to race and not those I´m "allowed" to race. That´s one of the great things about LFS, the freedom to use it the way I want, and not the way I'm told...
So, for a feature like that to work, it had to be an option, but if it was an option it would mean nothing since the safety rating would only be for "some", and for that it´s better for someone to create some kind of system to use on their servers.

Quote from The Moose :

For those people that enjoy proper league racing,(one qual, one race, one chance. Like reality ) endurance racing, practising together on a server with team mates, (the social aspect of sim racing is very important to me)all that sort of stuff, iRacing doesn't cut it. Yet. I have no doubt it will, sooner rather than later.

I agree with you, but I´m not so sure that IRacing will open their system that way. After all, if they do it, in what are they diferent of what you we have now, and how can they justify the price they´re asking??

Quote from Danke :

And all but four of the cars in the parking lot of the LFS Cafe are imaginary. At the iracing cafe, for some reason, there are only Solstices. (or is that Solstii?)

You´re wrong... There's another car at the IRacing Cafe... It looks like an old car, but I'm not quite sure because it just keeps going round and round the cafe...

Quote from Mille Sabords :

I can see Irental taking a part of the higly dedicated racers from LFS but the rest of the public will likely be unaffected. This sounds bad for LFS leagues, the impact on pick up races should however be minor.

I think, that, at least, for now, IRacing won´t have that much impact on LFS leagues. In LFS you have a great choice in terms of racing, choosing the one that suits you most, be it short races or even team oriented endurance races. In IRacing everything is pre-formatted, almost like the offline carreer mode you see in many games.

Quote from SamH :

For the GTR2, Race and rF market, there's bound to be some genuine appeal to iR, despite the cost, because as far as most of that market will know, iR is the first in the field. I really think that iR's chances of dominating online racing with their deliberately small grids (pay more, race with more..) and expensive additional content, rolling service charges etc, are going to be significantly dependent on the continuing market ignorance of alternatives - the most significant of which, I think, is LFS.

As long as a lot of that market is a "bunch of frustated shumacher's wanna be", I don´t really think that LFS will be an alternative, because of the lack in "real" content. For a lot of people, the most important thing they want of a sim, is to pretend they´re driving the "x" car, around the"y" track and getting their ego's up, thinking they can drive faster than "z" driver. For them, even if they try it, LFS will not be good enough.

The only one that looks wrong to me is the Speed Core skin, which has two different names depending on resolution: "FZR_SC_IGTC.jpg" and "FZR_Score_IGTCNV.jpg"

If someone from Speed Core can clear this up...

The one uploaded to LFS World is "FZR_Score_IGTCNV.jpg"

I as the manager of Speed Core, also didn´t receive, yet, the server information for today's race.
