They can experiment for example with night racing, proper start procedure (with jump start), new replay system (I don't think this will be it), motobike...etc

What the hell is that quotation at the bottom of the page? Perhaps we should find out what the surprise is with it? Maybe they won't give us patch until we find it out

Quote from SchneeFee :

me keeps hoping it will be a server upgrade to 26 or even 32 racers.

Isn't 20 players enough for you? Even in leagues it's usually impossible to have 10 racers who do the same times and can compete which each other. And on public servers with 20 players multiple restarts are usual because of crashes and huge fps drops. Can you imagine it with 32 players?

On the 5th day, Eric gives us the new Aston config (or two)
On the 6th day, Scawen gives us the "nice surprise" (that there is no patch at all lol)
On the 7th day they have a rest and we get the new patch (or if not, then next week)

Quote from wien :

Hmm.. I just flew around Aston to match some of the screenshots, and I came across this (See attachment) alongside the GP/Historic back-straight. I'm sure this has been brought up before somewhere, but I've never seen it. What is that piece of track? Seems to be a fair amount of it too... Is this going to be part of the new config perhaps?

Fly a bit closer to the scene so that we can see something :P

nevermind (edited)

Anyway "genki desuka" means "how are you" in Japanese so I think this guy is a big actor lol

Quote from SchneeFee :

i googled for Genki Desuka Super Race. no hits.

The same for the famous 'Boku no atama wa Omoshiroi Factor' mod
I was really looking forward to it...

Quote from MorroW :

For those who don't like shooting games

Lol good idea. Its useful in long straights where I am bored.

I agree, changable display for different information would be cool.

Maybe it's just me but the new suspension bars appear to be too thin...

What a great idea!

Now that we can only race on Sunday I will have time to learn on weekdays.
And the new Scazzato engine sounds... hmmm.. awesome.
Not to mention the new Battlefield mode; I have great time trying to shoot people's tyres

Quote from Darkone55 :

I drove a 1:36.4 in the demo. Is that fast (default set)?

I would say below average :P

1:40:8 in demo (default settings).

IMO game just feels bad when driving near the limit and its impossible to do fast movements (for example fast countersteer to avoid spin) unlike in LFS.
Not impressed at all but others say the faster cars are way better...

And it would be cool if I was able to see how fast i am going and to see the gear cos I don't know whether the last shift was succesful or not...

My first impressions (about the demo):

-terrible interface (took me 20 mins to realize that characters like "á","é",... are not supported in my name, then another 10 min fight in controller menu)

-engine sound must be a joke, but crashing sounds are quite good imo

- at first I had poor FPS then changed graphics and steering lag disappeared

- I dont like this graphics at all, I think LFS is much better

- About physics: well, dont like it braking into the corner is strange just like the loss of grip

After all I don't enjoy driving in nkP.

And some people say that LFS has bad engine sounds.... ehem

It would be cool if the "surprise" would be a real start. So people can make a jump start and get penalty for it (for example drive-through penalty).

I like Fox and Fo8 very much and with the fixes I mentioned above they will be a dream to race with

I am bored at home (hehe just kidding) so I tell you what I expect from the new patch:

- Fixed Highnose bug
- Increased grip at low speeds
- Decreased effect of slipstream (including the loss of grip behind a car) - especially to cars with wings
- Decreased effect of dirt on tyres

Everything else is a surprise for me

15 - Implementation of Chinese characters.

16 - Surprise will be that there will be no surprise at all.

Quote from Barroso :

either way its lame if you ask me.

I don't ask you.

Quote from deggis :

You mean "macro clutch"? A separate program that basicly takes the control of the clutch with using a button. I've heard some famous and fast drivers drivers use it, I'd say that's cheating. What a crappy drivers if they need to cheat to be fast. Very comparable to some über hax0r configs that are usual in FPS multiplayer games.

I have never used "macro clutch", even "button clutch" only for demo cars at BL tracks; otherwise I use "auto clutch".

Its OK here (GF 6600GT), but somehow I prefer it to be off... All I can see it blurs far objects and makes colors a bit "colder" i think. (?)

Quote from arrow20 :

As the Team manager of Fusion racing (parise's team) we do not
accept cheating of anykind therefore he is no longer in the team
sorry for any inconvenience

Hmm what serious cheat did he do that he was moved from the team? I don't know if it is just this hotlap or there were other things as well but this decision seems quite hard. But I respect the decision of the team so I dont interfere

It was my question in the other topic too but it seems that in the faster lap the driver used an expoit or cheat in the track and thats why he deleted that.
