Quote from troy :Looks like we'll be stuck with a similary restricted mp system like we had in nkp for the time being, change track restart, change car restart, change laps restart...

At least it sounds like the same system from the pdf

It's exactly the same. Which is disappointing, and confirms my worst fear of AC's MP.

Quote from The Very End :I am kind of confused to be honest, Amp: what is your stand on this? I though this was in reply from before claiming Top Gear to be a racist **** show? (I did not read too far back in the thread, so maybe I mixed you up with some others?), in any case, sorry!

Amp seems to enjoy being overly sensitive to "casual racism" (whatever that means). He might rage if I call you Norwegian as it's identifying you as someone who has citizenship in Norway, rather than simply identifying you as a person who lives on earth.

Except it's not profitable for them to have users that buy little content and stay for a long time. That's why the schedules are designed how they are. To get as many new people in the system "for cheap". Then they feel limited/restricted by the current content available. They buy stuff out that fit the schedules that they want to drive. Then they shortly realize that iRacing isn't the right fit for them, and then they abandon it.

THAT process is how iRacing makes money. Then, for the people who do stick around for longer than 1 season, they shuffle the schedules around to ensure that everyone eventually ends up needing to buy all the content (or sit out a week with their game effectively dormant.)

That's why they set introductory prices so low. To get more casual scrubs in the door, spending money, and then ignoring iRacing for something superior.

Quote from amp88 :It's all true. The only thing I love more than people being respectful and decent is people being gratuitously offensive.

At least you can admit it and stop the charade.

Quote from The Very End :I am going to be as cold as this, and say: Take your drama somewhere else, I don't care!

I agree that was just beyond retarder of him, but at same time he tried his best to get the clip to be taken away, instead BBC showed it. Nevertheless, I am not defending him on this.

That said, lets discuss Top Gear, not what the singel invidualls do or did several years ago. We all know that some of you people really hate Top Gear to your guts, but please don't turn it into a shitfest like what happend to topics like Iracing and so on

The people that hate Top Gear are the people who love to be offended and feed off of the attention and acting out the role of the offended.

Quote from Matrixi :I love this so much already, decent physics and a touge track... I'm in sim heaven.

The time it took to have a mountain track in LFS: 11 years 9 months and counting
The time it took to have a mountain track in AC: 6 months.

And some people say modding is a bad thing. Rii-ight.

People also say that iRacing has good physics.

People don't know what they're talking about.

Quote from nathan246 :Since when?

Since the iRacers decided that you're either with them or against them.

Quote from aaltomar :How are we going to put your perspective into perspective if you claim "the last time I tried it, it sucked"? When was this? Things do change and since you'd rather not state when it was the last time you tried it I'm tend to believe it was a while ago. So stick to your guns but I won't put much weight on your words if you "stay the course"

The fanboys would descend from the heavens, and try to come up with all kinds of reasons why I'm doing it wrong. They'd claim my wheel is setup incorrectly or that I'm driving it wrong or some other kind of nonsense. They're able to somehow convince themselves that iRacing has decent physics, is it a stretch to think that they wouldn't also fabricate some kind of rationale as to why my correct opinion is wrong.

Quote from aaltomar :Compared to AC, which isn't running nearly as smooth with my aging HD5850 in triplecreen having to drop anisotropic to measly 2x and everything else to low or off to get a steady 60fps, I can run iRacing 84fps solid with 16x aniso.

So you're complaining because your computer can't run a modern graphics engine well, but can run NR2003 graphics just fine?

Quote from aaltomar :Well why not just tell us when you tried it the last time and which car (not all of them are updated with the latest tyre model) rather than dancing around the question?

Why? So that the iRacers can continue the witch hunt of trying to silence/persuade all the dissenters?

No thanks.

Quote from Bmxtwins :Dustin Dawes last login was 5-21-2012
Dustin Dawes2 last login was 6-9-2013
Dustin Dawes3 last login was before the last iceage, which is about the same time when we lost the icecube tires. But, then again you would be an expert at judging that because Canada.

You make the assumption I'd use my old account (singular of those 3) and pay $12 or whatever for a month, instead of getting a super cheap trial.

Also, why would I use my real name when I know mouth breathers like you would stalk?

Regardless, lets move on from this conversation as I know what I know is correct, and what you think is not.

Quote from Kristi :Having not played a game that has updates on a 3 monthly basis and basing an opinion on an experience from years ago deserves nothing more than ranting against your post, especially now that the latest patch took the whole simulator to a whole new level at least Tyre Physics wise, yet you are still stuck at the iceRacing trend, which now isn't really true. I came back to LFS for a few laps and I swear iR felt grippier than this.

Again... you make the assumption that it was years ago that I last tried iRacing.

Quote from R3DMAN :dead doesnt mean nobody playing..

Would you call CS 1.6 dead? Valve hasn't put out a patch for that in forever, yet there's 30,000 people playing it.

I don't know what you'd consider dead. Dead would mean no patches and no users. When there are active leagues running races, with full grids.. it's hard to call that "dead".

Quote from Kristi :Will you stop basing opinins on games that you tried years ago the last time? I would be grateful if you only stated "facts" about stuff you tried recently.

Will you stop jumping to the conclusion that it's been years since I've tried out iRacing?

That said, after the last time I tried it and it was evident that they still were making no attempts to make their tyre model anything less than utter shit.. I decided that it's not worth trying again.

Quote from R3DMAN :corrected for you

When LFS ceases to have leagues which pull full grids of cars, then it'll be dead.

Until then, it's not.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :their tire model is just worse. that's why it's harder to learn. And don't tell me lfs doesn't require learning. in those 5 years of lfs I drove, i learned more han I did in iracing or simraceway

That's really it. I can go between LFS and AC with ease because the tyre model is more correct. iRacing's is just garbage, and when I tried rFactor 2, it seemed to go down the same "slippery == realistic" nonsense that iRacing follows. Nevermind the FFB was horribly incorrect.

Quote from lfsrm :c'mon Scawen just a preview for once.

The last time Scawen showed "just a preview", there's been rant threads about that now for 5 years in Scirocco+Rockingham.

I don't think Scawen is foolish enough to make the same mistake again.
