Scawen, does DX9 help with doing multiple Alpha testing? (fixing the ol' disappearing fences through windscreens).
I've given the test patch a try, and I have nothing to report, other than my computer is ridiculous and runs it with obscene amounts of AA (set by nVidia control panel).

Except being senselessly paranoid isn't an opinion, it's insanity.
We all get tracked somehow. By using the internet there's inherently a trail created. By even having a job there's a trail of information with employment records and payment. So unless you're actually doing illegal jobs, and being paid in clean unmarked bills, you're being tracked in every facet of life.
The caveat being is that none of us are that interesting for the gathered data to be actually investigated on.
That said, I guess I should expect insanity from cargame considering how bipolar he is towards LFS. He slags it off at every chance he gets, but then proceeds to continue to run servers and be a member of the community.
I had always felt scammed by pCARS. It was originally impressed upon me that it was going to be a proper simulator in terms of physics. But it seemed after they had attained funding, they went back to simply making another iteration of NFS Shift.
Members of this forum tried very early on to point out physics flaws to SMS, but they simply disregarded them.
Only reason I didn't refund my funding is because of the potential of making it back (plus more).
As an aside, I hate the gaming media coverage that pCARS gets as well. Various video game journalism equates the pretty screenshots with a top quality simulator, and people have actually fallen for that. It's terrible as it does a great disservice to real simulators like LFS and AC. It's so bad that people might actually think that pCARS is more realistic because of the flaws it has, which is patently untrue!

Wouldn't the best way for me to ignore your posts is to simply not make them at all? That way the NSA can't track you and read your mind!
Your argument is so poor that you have to invoke Godwin's law.
Ridiculous. I think I would have more intelligent conversations with a metal post.
Except you're not in control. You're giving yourself the illusion, but you use the internet so your privacy has already been invaded as your packets route through hundreds of routes as you connect to various servers around the internet. We know that the NSA has done mass data collection at network routing points.
Plus, who cares? What are you trying to hide that you feel like anyone gives a shit about what you do? Unless you're doing illegal things (which I presume due to your evasion), you're not that interesting.
Get over yourself...
I guess with unusual setups, you might have problems, but for literally 99.9% of the gaming world, unless you have irrational paranoia, Steam is pretty much the perfect service for PC gaming.
Also: Offline mode doesn't require Steam update (obviously).

Who are you hiding from to be so evasive with elementary things such as registering to a forum? Only those with things to hide tend to be that evasive.
Forgive me for pointing out that the pot is a pot.
There is offline mode... You aren't required to have an internet connection. As for updating, you can tell games to not update unless you want them to.
So why are you connecting to the LFS forum? It's sharing your IP address with this server! Even the AC server is sharing your IP address. Connecting to AC servers as well shares your IP address! SO MUCH PRIVACY INVASION.
Idiot.
Why? Steam is a fantastic service. You're obviously fine with LFS requiring online activation. Steam isn't much different, especially now that they've fixed a lot of the issues with offline mode as well.
As for the forum.. you can set your Steam profile to hide literally everything from people that aren't on your friends list (or even people that aren't you) without breaking the AC connection. I don't understand the fear.
It's more about legality. Blackwood is the only track that's been allowed to be converted, along with demo cars. It's a lot more work as well because unlike rFactor, the LFS track format isn't known. We only have SMX meshes that don't contain all the required UV mapping information.
If a game gets updated frequently but makes it worse, is it truly an update?
That's what I feel has happened to iRacing. The physics used to be passable a long time ago, but each update has made them worse.
Well, things don't need to be 100% perfect, but the iRacing method of spraying shit on the wall and hoping that it won't still be shit isn't better.
So would you prefer the iRacing strategy of release shitty physics and half-assed content every 30 minutes?
Good thing contracts prevent an entity from just removing rights on a whim, and I'm pretty sure Scawen would put clauses in the contract, knowing how LFS is developed.
After 8 years of refereeing, I think I've disallowed like.. 5 goals for goalie interference
.It's funny you say that, considering S2 doesn't have the same immature and toxic players. Demo has always been a shit show because there's no consequences. People just create a new account and they're back to being pricks.
Every sim has a static environment...
It requires a lot more than "drop OpenGL to replace Direct3D". OpenGLonly defines graphics, where DirectX has the full stack from networking to audio to input to FFB. All those other systems would need to be rewritten for what gain? LFS already runs well in WINE.
All that software effort would be effectively useless and just a massive waste of time.

That doesn't make sense. How can something that's static be not as good as it was before? It hasn't changed, thus it's equally as good as it was before.
Others have (debatably, as I disagree that any truly have) made strides to potentially place themselves to be better than LFS, but LFS hasn't gotten worse, it's still as good as it was 5 years ago.

Such maths.
So wow.
So wow.
I was pointing out how ridiculous your claim of "wreck slow cars" was. Not that I agreed.
It's not magical, and does come with its own set of problems. Like the server changing to the next session, and your client not being aware of it.
I'm not sure. It is realistic though, considering some cars do have TC/ABS enabled by default or non-disable-able as well.
