Good post. Take note that every quite inteligent driver will come to conclusion "don not disturb those who are in race" pretty quick. So you ll get that rules even without reading it.

To everyone else use BAN ( sorry i just hate when ppl dont THINK ! )

"Crashing needs to become painful to the point where it becomes feared. Whether that means no warping to the pits, no restarting, no rejoing a race in progress, reduced repair ability in the pits, etc"

NO NO NO NO

Why i love LFS ?? cause it includes quite real phisics model from the perspective of arcade game. Yes ! I love you can warp to PIT i love you can join , you can restart ! yes ! that what makes the LFS !! very easy and powerful about phisics!! And i dont want it to be changed. Are we goin for another GTR or what ? That what makes it different and that what makes it better. As I said - kinda hardcore driving model and very easy race options/settings/possibilities

let LFS stay this way

yea You re right , that should be kinda texture . No reflections needed - that would affect framerate surely. Rally Championship ( im not sure if thats the right name ) from 1998(or 7!!!) has such glass, or ....GTR.

nope have not seen the code, but im pretty sure about it. A feature like alpha blending is suported by most or all(?) of modern graphic cards.

I didnt write about dirt etc , just a lil tint that will give U a bit better feeling that youre really there- inside.

Im not criticising.
LFS has a good graphics. When looking at it like at project made by 3 guys - it has great graphics... But fully transparent windows are wrong

xapexcivicx - is there any mod available? im not familiar with dds editor. Sorry im such a lazy bastard and taking a shortcuts

yeah you have some strong points there.

For me the most striking one is :

Why the hell glass is completly transparent ????
(im talkin about "from inside" view of course )

its a basic feature to implement, that will give a better feeling of being inside that damn car. Its easy to implement and every modern graphic card will handle such stuff without problem. simple as that

24 pounds is about ...............15 avarage monthly wages here. So you see.... my life is about speed and driving but im still that 4 punds short what is at least 2 more wages to get. Just like you i hate that mean bastards that wont spend any cash on game saying "demo is enough for me" what a pity....

(gonna be a lil bit off topic)

yep .. i get your point ... im still a demo racer .
ok ok no more solutions , no more new threads till i get licence........

Statement mode ON

!!We DEMO RACERS are discriminated on this forum!!

Statement mode OFF

take it easy.

Guys ... please read all posts before replying.......

That was nothing else but sarcasm ffs just read the post of AndroidXp(no offence Android)
Anyway... yeah i know buying a full license is a good solution, but as long as we have "ban" option lets just make full use of that. One or two lines of LFS's code will result in less posibilities to drive ppl crazy!!. Simple as that. That will not make any money for lfs. I dont think that will bring any more players for lfs. Furthermore that will not convert demo racers into licensed.....
but will be one very helpful option which will do some good to all the fair drivers of lfs ... licensed or not.......thats what i belive

Scaven i put all my trust in you

Andorid - yeah maybe you re right , maybe it s some way to get some content for free and maybe im that person.

but
you can think about newbies that see all crap that happens from time to time
and they will just resign....

but ( second time ) the main aim of my post is
1 to get more content for free
2 to make things more difficult for wreckers......ekhm anyway i presented a simple idea very easy to implement. No logins no other sh.te. Just a simple measure that should make things easier.

Sorry for picking wrong forum.

Eeejit is Irish as far i know.....
greetings

Im a demo racer so the problem is propably encountered only on demo servers.

Reason :
There are wreckers due to lack of driving skills, some of them are just a kids.... but the worst situation is with the nasty ones - wreckers on purpose. Theese little bastards not only crash but tend to quit when about to get the last vote req for ban. Then they come back and all the voting stats over again - A big pain i the a.se. Sometimes they change nick and comeback as someone else and somebody gets a ruined race again.

Solution
"Votes stay" option
Votes given to certain IP number stay for X time. Where X is adjustable. say... 10 minutes.

Note
This way such prick wont bother other drivers anymore. Of course this WILL NOT cause wrecking impossible but will make it a bit more difficult with very small efforts.
Thanks.
