In your opinion. You can't state that as a fact

And yea coming to a gaming forum and promoting your product purelly for your profit is simply disrespectfull.

Hardly disrespectful. In fact any disrespect seems to be coming from your side.

Quote from The Moose :

I hope you're right Sam, but my impression of this community over the last 6 months or so is that it has become full of whining,selfish, ignorant,stupid, childish halfwits.

This thread just goes the extra mile and has them all queuing up one after the other, i can't believe what im reading half the time.

Scawen announces the best news for a long time in the world of LFS (it certainly got me interested in LFS again..i cant wait for improved physics and a new laser scanned track) and all the idiots come out and moan about it. Unbelievable.

Any newcomers to the LFS community must be shaking their head at the complete morons we seem to have here. If i were new i would take one look at the forums and leave straight away.

I've never heard such a dreadful outburst against Mormons in all my life! I thought religious freedom was a basic human right, but it seems not......MORONS? Oh, I thought you said Mormons!
In which case,

Almost everyone. In real life they only run track days there apparently. Silly little track.

Quote from obsolum :

I am soooo loving this car! It's bloody awesome I tells ya.

I can't seem to be able to adjust the amount of fuel to add when making a pitstop, though. It always fills 'er up to the top

That's what you do with a road car...fill 'er up! :auto:

Quote from StableX :

I'm intrigued... what is the best sim out there for you, and why?

NetKarPRO, in it's latest guise 1.1. The feel is....right. OK there's lots not quite up to speed yet but it's being worked on by...an artist.

It might have been me saying that or it mat have been a bottle of Cabernet Syrah. I'll get back to you in the morning

This guy's on the ragged edge too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkfzdhwYg9g&NR=1

Yep, looked about right.

Weeeeell, not good I'm afraid. We were on the point of selling the house when BANG! The financial crap hit the fan! Our buyer suddenly got cold feet and the housing market came to a grinding halt. As we weren't going to give the place away we put the whole operation on hold. Over a year later we're still holding.

Quote from 128MB :

too bad, cant i start a petition of something that i can give to the developers? ^^

Yeah, that'll work.

Just comes right for me. My years renewal is on 2nd August.
That's a point! Should I leave it on automatic renewal even though I'll be manually renewing?

Quote from PMD9409 :

...... Why a car or track costs more than the one month subscription is beyond me.

Have you ever tried to make a decent car skin let alone a whole laser scanned track? The amount of work that goes into it must be enormous! Frankly, I'm amazed at the work done even by modders and track makers on rFactor who don't get paid a penny and quite often get abuse from ungrateful tykes. 'This mod sucks' etc. etc. Take a slow drive round any iRacing track and try to appreciate the work that's gone into it.
At some stage we'll all have to wake up and realise that stuff has to be paid for and if the quality is as good as iRacing's, then it's worth every cent.(or penny)
EDIT: And another thing; all this talk about pricing is stupid. However low the price of anything is, somebody won't be able to afford it. There have been threads about the 'high' price of LFS for God's sake, the best £24s worth EVER!

Quote from speed1 :

Just face it, the Scirocco will never come. When I first realized this, I was sad, then I remembered all of LFS's other cars.

I think you're probably right.
My reason for thinking this is that Volkswagen suddenly realised that you could damage the car beyond recognition in game. You can roll it as well! They must have been under the impression they were talking to the guy from NEED for Speed. So they say to Scawen, 'Make it zo you can't tamage zer car or roll it over. Zen you can haf our car' (sorry about the bad accent) To which Scawen said 'Sorry boyo, no can do. Either it gets damaged or we don't use it.'
Let's face it, there was a working example at some game fair or other many many months ago. I can't see it would take Scawen that long to 'finalise' the handling even if he did move house in the meantime.

So don't hold your breath waiting for the Scirocco.
:twocents:

Quote from StableX :

It's a deliberate choice to retain the stock tracks that come with the rookie package. As the Skippy is the next car up the line in the Road series, they keep the stock tracks to ensure moving up to the skippy doesn't mean forking out for 6 - 8 new tracks too. That's the reason why you'll see the basic tracks in there

And therein lies the basic problem. If you want to race the Solstice, Skippy or Spec Racer out of choice you'll never get to drive anywhere else except...stock tracks.
It's not as if various GP track owners around the world don't cater to club racers and lower formulae IRL®

Quote from UncleBenny :

iRacing doesn't seem to want to fix any of those issues though, all we need is MORE CONTENT

Not sure we need MORE CONTENT. It would be nice if we lesser mortals got to use some of the content already there. For example: Barber,(3 layouts) Silverstone,(5 layouts!) Road Atlanta,(3 layouts) Daytona, Road America(2 layouts) and Watkins Glen.(4 layouts) I've not seen these used in Skip Barber or anything else except hotshot series. Guess I'll just have to become a hotshot. They really ought to show a little imagination as far as track selection is concerned.
A never ending succession of Lime Rock, Summit Vaginia and Laguna Seca is getting a little tedious.





IMO.

Quote from Spils :

@ Niels

I play your mod for GTR-evo a hell of a lot, actually it was the reason why I brought the game, Not a great fan of rfactor and just wanted a nice car game that works with my g25 as a nice alternative to LFS.

Anyway having a bit of an issue with some of the more powerful cars from reading what you have said above I guess its down to an inaccurate steering setup.

In my profiler I use a 540 degree rotation and default in game setting for the car I dont have any setups for many of the Hisorical mod cars.

What settings do you recommend for a more realstic setting.
I find the old Escorts very hard to control at cadwell I guess its down to my steering being way to sensative.

You MUST set the degrees of rotation to 900 in the profiler. Let HistoriX do the rest. It does the job extremely well. Bite the bullet. The setup issue is not as big a deal as it is with LFS, as mostly they work well out of the box. Once you've got a handle on the cars then you can fiddle.

Quote from The Moose :

A little HistoriX action...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpmIYPmP6Ns

To be honest i could have posted a vid from so many races we've had recently that have finished as closely.

There really is some fantastic racing to be had with this mod. I'm in love
If a month ago you'd told me i would love rFactor i'd have said you were insane.
I'm so glad i gave it one last chance. If only other mod makers put the effort in that the HistoriX guys have.

Don't forget to head over to the dMr forums rFactor section if you want to join us for some quality racing most evenings (UK time)
http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=333

Nice bit of PR there Stu. Just a point of order, if you want to join us look for FinnglishRacing in the lobby.
Dead Men Racing have not adopted this sim ...yet.

Good luck. :thumb3d:

He did say 'exactly' where the photos were taken. From that I'd assume he meant street and house number. Coral Springs is a bit general

Quote from hazaky :

That ... feels so gay

I don't think I'm up to speed as to what the latest meaning of 'gay' is. If it means speaking English in a way that is understood by everyone, having good manners, being courageous, courteous, highly skilled and having a finely honed sporting ethic, then yes, it's as gay as a yellow duster!
