Yes it is indeed the same engine. Great to see them in such a big production. It's odd I couldn't find a mention of it over at the RoR home page though (only had a quick look).
Does anyone know what tracks (including Open configs) there are where you can race the TBO's and the LX4 together and have them be competitive?
I have raced one or two tracks before on Cargame.nl where it worked. I can't remember what they where though.
I experimented with SO1R, based on LFS world's times. But in practise the LX4 seems to have to great advantage as the straight isn't long enough for the TBOs to get a good run on the LX4, it seemed this way anyway. Maybe it's me who is not quick enough with the TBOs to catch the LX4 though.
I used to be against mods too. But since playing Rfactor for a couple of years, I don't see what the big problem is. The mods and tracks that come from the Rfactor community are amazing.
If LFS had allowed mods we would have so many great tracks by now. Nurburgring anyone? Rfactors' user made tracks alone seems like an obvious reason to at least allow us to have user made tracks.
And cars, V8 super cars anyone, how about Historic X? These cars in Rfactor are really excellent. They could be 10 times better with LFS's excellent physics behind them.
Of course crap mods will be made, but it's only the best ones that are most popular. And all you need is a server rule/option that allows mods or does not. Or specifies only particular ones.
If they allowed mods, LFS could be in a much healthier state today.
Also, we wouldn't have so many posts on here crying out for much needed new content....
Why would a non mod server be less populated? Surely that would only happen if the mods where better than the default content? And if that's the case, then what's the problem?
You don't want mods because of some people who don't know how to read a readme.txt or have PCs that are unable to run LFS adequately? Odd reasoning.
Perhaps you should understand what I was requesting first before siding with some one? Why would I care about a spoiler for a BTCC race being put in the BTCC thread? That's how it should work....
I was annoyed because RiseAgainstMe posted a un-needed, unrelated spoiler about a WTCC race....in this (BTCC) thread.
You really think Riseagainst me's comment that spoiled the race was really that great that he would have had to "restrain" him self to not post it? It's not hard, it just a take a slight bit of empathy and some cop on.
Wow....insightful stuff.
Well, if you guys cant just use a bit of courtesy to a fellow fan and follow one simple, polite, easily followed request..I guess I will just have to avoid the event threads in this section....
So why do we have individual topics for individual events if we can just post spoilers in any thread we like? Kind of defeats the point if you ask me.....
I must remember to post this weeks V8 results in the F1 thread...is that how we do it now?
Would you like it if for every event some one created a new thread that had the spoiler in the title? After all.....what where you doing in the motorsport section if you DON'T want to know about motorsport?
Just don't do it please...common courtesy etc. Besides some times they haven't even shown the highlights or replay of the event until up to a week later. Some people watch those too.
I watch V8s, WTCC and BTCC. I don't get a chance to watch them all straight away, especially when the events clash, as I'm sure many other don't either.
The comment didn't even relate to what was being discussed, it was just a pointless spoiler, so why did you have to mention it at all?
He is not saying Aston are German . The big German three are obviously Audi, Merc and BMW, and other manufacturers like Aston etc. At least that's what I got from it.
But yes Car Of The future will great, allowing more manufacturers. It's a bit of a shame they will be so similar underneath, but still more brands the better. Great to see Nissan on board already.
Ya, for me I don't really consider San Andreas/Vice City sequels, more like expansions and yes they do use the GTA3 engine tweaked.
For me the true sequels, with new engine /major engine overhaul where:
GTA1, GTA2, GTA3, GTA4.
All of these where pretty much new engines. That's why I figured 5 might also be a new engine. Although, personally I still think GTA 4's engine would well capable of doing GTA 5 with some enhancements to it. It still looks very good today, I think
I liked iv. There where some annoying things, but MS live stuff was no reason not to play, you could get rid of that stuff very easily. I still play in a sandbox way every now and again, there are some great mods for the PC too.
I am also surprised they are releasing 5 so soon, which would imply they are using the same engine, which would be a first for a GTA sequel.
What about the "V" logo on that splash/temp page? Looks kind of retro..like 50s maybe?
I have to agree, I was/ am disappointed by the lack of servers running any layout tracks. Although I have to thank Cargame.nl. I was on there recently and they where running, as mentioned, a fun Aston config, big thanks again for this.
One big surprise for me when testing the layouts first was how very different they make the tracks feel, much more than I expected. They are easily as good as any official track Config. Racers have been crying out for new tracks to race on and now we have been given the chance to create and race them, but not much uptake, it is odd.
I hope we can try to get some of these configs on DeadMenRacing's sever soon for the weeks racing.
