And where would limiting the turbo pressure or down-tuning the engine give you advantage at? Useless feature if you ask me. Everyone would just max the power, or use the best setting for each track.

Nice game, but it sucks to play a flash game over 15 minutes :/

Has anyone tried to count how many versions of this game have they made?
F1C mod, GTR, GTL, GTR2, RACE, rFactor, That free BWM-thing and now this.. And I'm sure I forgot something.

Painting a pile of shit into green doesn't make it a pile of alien slime. They should have learned that before trying to paint the same pile of shit into blue, red, yellow etc...

punk / rock / skate punk / indie rock / alternative rock / emo rock

Roughly 75% of the artists in my collection fall into those categories.
In music I appreciate good melodies, harmony and attitude. I don't care about lyrics or band's image that much.

I don't like his company, it's business methods nor software (well, directx ffb is cool), but a bug in a software isn't that big deal. Things like that just happen.

And especially saying "Bill Gates can't do math" or "Bill Gates is a nub" are as good jokes as "Scawen can't model physics" or "Scawen is a w**ker".

Quote from word. :What ever the heck this anti lag thing is, the XRR needs it. GOD the turbo lag is bad on that car.

If you had read this whole thread, you'd know that race cars don't usually have anti-lag, and would propably agree that better turbo modelling would be a better way to fix XRR's lag.

Quote from SamH :If someone wants to drive a race without a helmet, then it should be their choice. By the same token, if a server operator decides to have a modicum of very basic/fundamental scrutineering on their server, they should also be able to do that. The whole relationship between what you can wear and what an event holder can require you to wear is a new aspect of realism that can only be seen as a plus for LFS.

Where would you draw the line at? Would it be ok to use a car hack that replaces mirrors with water melons or BF1 model with a shopping cart?

I'd backup my skins, setups, custom textures etc, and download a clean copy of LFS. Propably easier and quicker than trying to find the problem itself...

Seems to. Thanks!

Could I really download 50 MB video files from YouTube?

Quote from jimimonet :Wonder what LFS portion is?

Simulators sell a very small minority of racing titles. And of simulators, all the 6 "ISI-engined-copies-of-each-other" obviously rule the mainstream market.

So not a big portion, but enough to feed 3 developers

IRL heel and toe is easier, because the brake is pressure sensitive. It stays about the same position even if the pressure varies a little during the throttle blip.

When I had a red momo force, the squash ball mod made the brake so stiff at the far end of travel, that it felt pretty much like a pressure sensitive pedal.

I haven't even seen a G25, but if you can mod the brake very stiff, I believe it helps heel & toeing.

EDIT: Once again Tristan had already cleared this

Side note: When talking about controllers, keyboard is a _digital_, not analog device, since the keys only have 2 possible values, 1 or 0.

Quote from Glenn67 :Also if you want to improve realism like that, then you should restrict the use of cars to just one for a season as not many real race drivers drive more than one or two types of car in a season

Even though that's propably just an analogy, not a serious suggestion, it would have a negative effect on playability. Being able not to switch sides between races would not. I agree, that on public servers it doesn't matter that much, but yet I can't think of a reason why it should be allowed. Maybe "for fun", or "testing purposes" - well, allow it on offline use then. (That would also statisfy the hotlapper scene.)

Quote from Glenn67 :Yes but in real life if I was in a race serries in Australia I would have a RHD car but then if I flew to the USA I'd jump into a race car for an event it would be drive LHD

That can be solved, depending on how the restriction is implemented. A compromise once again.

Quote from AndroidXP : @frokki: Seriously, how is this a problem?

Having to do something stupid and unrealistic to be competive - yes, I'd call that a problem. Same logic also applies to every problem you listed. Using less wheel turn radius or autoclutch is quite the same, but understandable in terms of accessibility.

Quote from AndroidXP :I can't see anything gained by forcing a driver side; it's neither more realistic nor does it improve gameplay

It definitely improves realism. If you have a race car IRL, you don't frigging swap the seat and controls for different tracks...

Quote from AndroidXP :A guy swapping from left to right that gains him a few tenths at best? Really at the pace of drivers on public servers this hardly makes a difference, and on leagues you can prevent it anyway.

I know it won't make much, but neither does full throttle starts. However, don't we all want the low speed tyre physics improved? Maybe not on high priority, but anyway.

Quote from AndroidXP :Linking the driver side to the country set in the profile isn't going to prevent the drivers in question from doing what they do now, they'll just have to alt-tab out of LFS to change it.

Like Gener_AL said, it would be easy to implement limitations in country changing, like we have limited unlocks per month. Every 6 months or so would be fine imo. Driver side option could also be completely separate from country set.

Quote from AndroidXP :Just leave it as is and ridicule the drivers as necessary, but don't remove options for the sake of preventing something that isn't really a problem in the first place.

But it is a problem!

Please... LOCK THE DRIVER SIDES! :mad:

Either to a certain car or LFS user account. I'm ok with both, but would prefer LHD only.

Swapping the driver sides between league races is just ridiculous.
