Because Vsync can introduce input lag, along with inconsistent FPS if your frame rate is near (but below) your refresh rate. Triple buffered vsync makes it less bad, but you end up with jumps from 30 to 60 FPS and back.
Besides, more options are better. If you want to enable vsync, you can. The majority of gamers disable it, especially in games where reactions are important becuase feeding every frame, with minimum delay, is important. Vsync forces frames to coalesce to the monitor, which can introduce millisecond delays.
I can see it being a bigger problem on a single core machine, rather than a 4 or 8 core monster that many people have.
I'm not a network admin, yet Linux is the only (other than OS X, which I can't run on my gaming PC) platform that can actually allow me to do work tasks at home. Windows CAN'T run what I need it to run, nor would it be a fun experience even if I got it to work.
On top of that, Windows has a an absolutely terrible window manager, and Microsoft doesn't get how to improve it. They add features that make it look like OS X, but there's a fundamental disconnect between what it looks like and what it functions like. Sure it looks like an OS X ripoff, but it feels worse in every way.
Hell, adding the simple ability to rotate through a given application's windows (THEY ALREADY GROUP THEM IN THE TASKBAR, JUST LET ME HAVE A WAY TO ALT+TAB THROUGH JUST THEM) would be an exponential improvement which means Windows will never add it as it might be useful.
Some Windows pedants will point out that you can use WinKey+<number 0-9> to rotate through Windows based on their index in the Start Menu, but that's a **** terrible solution as it's based upon the index from the left in the taskbar, which means it could change.

iRental cash has no restrictions on stupidity.
iRental probably sent Zandvoort a letter saying "Hey guys, don't let anyone else laser scan you. kthx. If you do, we'll sue you. Lovies!! <3 <3"
You're describing your experiences with a Linux distribution that's nearly 15 years old (and has been "dead" for at least 10 years.)
If you cannot see how that isn't at all relevant to how the usage of modern Linux is, then it's hopeless to even try to have a discussion with you, as you've already decided your prejudice.
It'd be like me talking about "Why does anyone use the Internet! It's so incredibly slow." because I used it once on a 56k modem.
Of course, it's always other peoples fault and never your own. Right?
As if you needed another way.
Tits.
But the value is determined by those buying it. If I charged $100 for a horse cock mod and nobody buys it then nothing is wrong.
It's simple. If you don't like something, don't buy it. It's a strategy the Internet has forgotten, and instead they cry and scream about things they dislike.

Why would I be mad? I'm not brain dead enough to keep paying for iRental.
Or are "umad" cause I'm right
So if I go create a Wordpress plugin, that shouldn't be something that I should be able to charge for, because it's useless without Wordpress?
If I install light switches in a house, I shouldn't get paid for that because without everyone else building the house, my work would be useless/impossible?
Heck, Building anything based off of anything should have to be pro bono because without the original "base", I wouldn't be able to have built anything.
People are adverse to paid mods because they're used to free mods, not because paid mods are a bad idea.
Furthermore, especially in a racing sim, the majority of a given mod is art assets, not "modifying code", which creating good assets takes an extremely long time.

http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/
It would have been amazing and revolutionary 5 years ago, but at this point, it's done, implemented and a successful feature. IIRC, Kunos intended on doing it for AC as well (and still might, given AC is pretty well integrated into Steam).
On top of that, Workshop doesn't cost money for anyone to use, although I hope Valve does try paid mods again, as I think mod creators do deserve compensation for their work.
Xbox controllers only support split axis on the triggers when using the XInput API. LFS only supports DirectInput which Microsoft made the decision to unify the triggers into 1 axis.
That said, now that Scawen has implemented DX9, XInput would be a more feasible thing to implement as an option.
Perhaps create a bug post requesting XInput, citing this post!

Welp, anything to avoid implementing a realistic physics model I suppose.
Well, FWIW: They completed the "bait and switch" on my backing. They removed me from the backer pool (preventing me from collecting any returns) because I've said some negative things on the internet about pCARS.
I tried a lot of them and it never felt good. The FFB always felt like it was clipping.
idk, I gave rF2 a shot like a year ago and it felt like absolute garbage (so I utilized the refund option that rF2 has).
Plus I found the mods to be underwhelming. AC has a lot higher quality mods and is a better game in general.
It's funny, Steam provides the content delivery that you're describing as part of using SteamWorks (and Steam) as a platform. Workshop allows creators to submit their content to the Workshop and update it, along with providing a mechanism to keep everyone who has "subscribed" to that content up to date.
It works great for clients and servers alike, as both of them can use workshop to download content and keep it up to date.
Assetto Corsa was supposed to use Workshop for mods, but Kunos either forgot about that or hasn't done it yet.
Don't you mean NFS Shift 3 and NFS Shift 4?
FWIW: They forcefully removed me from their backers because I've been commenting negatively on the internet. Thus properly completing the bait and switch
Other than the abysmal FFB and physics.

You can't IP ban in LFS.
Your option to prevent them from joining is to firewall their IP (if possible).
Airio (I think) has the ability to track people by IP. You could maybe create an IP ban list that way (but I'm not certain).

Maybe the double beer holders?
DX9ex has better compatibility with newer versions of Windows.
The fact that I still have LFS and AC installed, with my wheel available to be used within 30 seconds notice... Not yet.
I'd rather give up simracing altogether than recommend someone buy a Fanashit wheel.
