If LFS had a few good cars, a few good tracks, 10 year old graphics, and physics that are absolutely spot on, it'd be a sim racer's paradise.
You really don't want anyone on track with you who buys a game based on the graphics.
Or just an incompetent photog.
OP: For a simracing enthusiast, you sure don't understand what simracers are after.
Let me guess, you're not actually a racer. You cruise.

"Best FPS on a console" is like saying "best macrobrew in America." No matter how mainstream it is, it still tastes like piss.
Halo on PC was mediocre at best.

There are plenty of old racing games that were good in their day, but I honestly don't think you need anything more than:
LFS
iRacing
RBR
Maybe GPL too. GP-Bikes if you like bikes. The rest don't have the physics or gameplay to match.

It really doesn't matter how tolerant Muslims are, in general, of westerners. Everyone deserves some level of respect regardless of their background until their personal actions prove they are undeserving. Clothing has no bearing on this.
What if you moved to a country where everyone walked around with their privates hanging out but otherwise clothed? You decide you want to be covered up, but everyone looks at you funny for it and suddenly there's a big uproar about your lack of conformity. People deserve to see what your junk looks like, after all. How would that make you feel?
I fail to see your logic, Maelstrom. Why does it matter if a group of people resist assimilation into the local culture? If you moved to another country and were told you couldn't walk around in public in a t-shirt and jeans because it was offensive to the natives, what would you do/say?

Get pissed. Pick a fight with a cop. Lose. Go to jail. Meet Bubba. Make "friends" with Bubba. Puke. Get out. Puke. Go to bed. Puke.
Pick precise reference points for braking, turning, apex, and exit. Be smooth.
What? Are you talking about a replay in LFS or a recording of a replay (e.g. via FRAPS)?
An LFS replay may get a little choppy at 0.125 and 0.250 due to the fixed number of physics cycles (100 per second), resulting in only 12.5 or 25 physics cycles being displayed per second. Your framerate is fine, it's just that many of the frames show the same information.
No, it shows the tires are sliding. A sliding tire still generates force. There's still friction between the tire and road surface.
Please develop an understanding of vehicle dynamics before posting silly threads like these.

That merely shows the longitudinal and lateral components of the force exerted on the tarmac by the tire. It already takes the angle of the tire and its direction of drive into account.
Do you honestly think these things through before posting threads about them?

You brought it up. We're telling you you're wrong.
Clearly you're not.
Let me ask you this: how much of your time in a cruise server is spent doing the "speed limit?"

Racing is racing, regardless of the number of wheels. The fundamental goals and methods are the same.
Sure, you can race. Not well, though. Not competitively.
Not possible. FWD is awful for performance applications. Anyone buying a performance car knows this.
Clearly, based upon your numerous replies and vehement defense of cruising, you do.
I know what it takes to be a good racer. I've also been on cruise servers and seen what it takes to be a good cruiser. There is no comparison.

Those who can't race, drift. Those who can't drift, cruise. Simple as.
If you need to get your jollies fantasizing about illegal street racing and running from the cops, by all means, cruise to your heart's content. But comparing the level of competence posessed by a "skilled" cruiser to that of an accomplished racer is contemptibly incongruous.

That's not really your place to decide, how others live their lives. I think all religions are pretty messed up in both their practices and beliefs, but I'm not about to go to war over it, especially since the propensity for religious fanatics to go to war over their beliefs is one of my biggest issues with religion.

Sure you did. Right here:
You're literally saying I'm about 30 seconds off the WR on a given track.
BTW...
Oxymoron.
Proven by whom? Is there a cruisers vs. people-who-know-what-they're-doing-instead-of-farting-around championship I'm unaware of?
Consider me unimpressed with name-calling.
If hotlapping impresses you, try to have one of your cruising buddies beat this: http://www.lfsworld.net/get_spr.php?file=30000 (#2 on FO8 @ FE4, 0.81 off the WR). Then add your layout and see if he/she can still beat me.
Oh, I'm sure these don't count for anything either.

If you're cruising, you have no need for an advanced simulation. Accurate grip levels and grip transitions mean nothing to you.
