In any case, I'm sure Michael could do the trip quicker than the cabbie even without breaking the speed limit.

Cheap and cheesy.

Quote from Roadie :

With the clutch assigned to a button it is basically an on off switch. Makes getting off the line fast nearly impossible. You either get it to hot, or you bog down on the start. Both ways you end up dead last right away. The same goes for down shifting and up shifting. It is pretty much impossible to be smooth with the clutch assigned to a button.

Yes, a button clutch is not the best for getting off the line, but for changing gears it works just fine.

People who seem to think that we had "too good" vision while playing with the 90° view mode when compared to real life, must be sitting in a real car with a paperbag in their heads?

What people have been trying to say is that in a race car (especially these days with the HANS device around your neck and helmet on your head), it is hard to turn your head much at all. The 90 degree view would be difficult if not impossible to achieve. Furthermore, in an open-wheeler car the view can be further restricted by the cockpit. However the current spout of complaints make little sense (in most cases) since 90 degree view is still available.
Pushing the two buttons takes only a fraction of a second. While some people use controllers that makes this more difficult, such controllers are ill-suited to LFS in the first place and require some compromise anyway.

The new system solves a very old and annoying problem of not being able to use the side mirrors properly. The 45 degree view is useful in all cars and the 90 degree view still exists too. The rear view has gone and that's no big deal (though I used to use it regularly for a quick peek behind after looking left or right) and will hardly be missed.

One thing is for sure: bitching and moaning about changes won't get you very far. If you can't make a valid, sensible and polite argument for your case you won't gather much support. A petition is a waste of time, as petitions usually are. Insulting people who don't necessarily promote your view is also a waste of time. Hostility is no way forward, even if has been hatched from genuine frustration.

If you can't make a civilized case you're only harming your cause.

There are no Indy cars in LFS. Even if there were they wouldn't be raced against TBO.

When you have LFS game or the CMX Viewer open and you open the other one the program you open says: "Warning: another instance of LFS is already running". Now I would get why this message would come up with opening two game windows, but is this needed if the game window and cmx viewer are used simultaneously?

That message is not new though. It's always occurred if you have the viewer and LFS open. At least for me.
