i just want to bring into another aspect:
in the nationwide race, there was almost the same happening and the guy got a 5 lap penalty for it. so why didn't Jr get one as well?
or did nascar make a mistake with the 5 lap penalty. either way this season is promising so far *g*
i would call it on jr. still. there was no reason for being that agressive. he also knew, a caution will help him.
i see vickers' block reasonable as well and not illegal. as earlier discussed on TV: double yellow line means "out of bounds" which also means you loose all rights of way to the racetrack at that point.
the race was great but that was so unecessary... i think jr. said something like: why did he block me anyway? maybe he did not know he was fighting vickers for lucky dog...
what is wrong with jr. this weekend on daytona 500?
first he missed the pitbox, then he got a penalty for not being inside the white line. and then he causes a wreck with a stupid move against vickers just out of plain frustration. on top of that he blamed it all to vickers.
he was really acting like a rookie this weekend.
i really like JR. but yesterday he behave like a jerk!
actually,... THIS is his real life. he earns money with this, isn't he? of course, if he is moving to a new house, this will need some time!
but there are lot of these excuses the last 3-4 years with promises of a S2 final. none of this happend and the game is in an outdated status and will get more and more outdated every day when it comes to a state of the art factor.
the only reason why this game still rocks is the realistic physics and the easy and quick way to join races.
sooner or later they will just say: OK guys, there is no sense in developing this any further and all you guys will say thank you for the 5 or what so ever years for waiting on a FINAL RELEASE of a game you've already paid for.
some even paid for a S3 already... which is IMO kind of naive.
anyway i am not here spoiling this, as the game is still good, but those of you who still think santa is living in the north pole... WAKE UP
sorry but... AWWWW did you ever see that bright texture anywhere? the world is not that bright... way too bright colors. make it 20% and they will be good
sounds good to me as well. i just want to bring out the point that league admins can see if someone signs up to their league who actually signed up for 10 other leagues and never started in one or droped out after 2 races because he sucked or got booted...
a league admin should be able to register drivers to the league or actually an league-registration "thing". if there is an "official" point of registration provided by lfs, this will make an extra thread and manual "verification" obsolete. i think this can also make every inscription to a league more "serious" and the dropout rate will go down if its "officially" written down and managed.
i wish drivers could also have some sort of "statistics" so people know exactly in which league they were, which position they had and why the did not start in 8 leagues they did sign up.
to be honest, you need a computer driven pacecar. everything else can have effects to the race. i've done some league races and in the most races the pacecar caused some trouble.
you can use this spare guy to trigger the pacecar and work as racecontroll but the pacecar should be driven by an A.I.
use the ai, as a pacecar. give the ai a setup with a maximum speed. if you want the pacecar to come in, give it a stop and go penalty. after entering the pits, send it to spectate.
