To ensure that our leaders are elected by the majority. Incidentally, it's not good form to point out that "the majority" are actually pretty stupid and have no business doing anything important like electing leaders. People get upset when you mention that.

Spoken like a true liberal.

Well, I can simplify for that the Executive branch, while having to answer to checks and balances*, do have some power to do so. Some. The American president is more a figurehead of power rather than an actual wielder of power, though as another example, the president, in times of war, holds the highest power in the military.



*an example is Americas recent immigration bill. The president really wanted it to be pushed through, but congress had a higher power over it and subsequently voted agaist the bill.

Hahaha. You should rent Terry Gilliam's film, "Brazil". It's over 20 years old but it applies so neatly to modern-day america that you may actually wet yourself laughing.

(it is a very funny film even without the terrorism backdrop, to be fair)

Or modern day Great Brittan. In my opinion, I feel America is still pretty far from the police state that I feel is starting to fester and grow in GB.

And YOU may think "Brazil" was funny, but it scared the sh*t out of me.

So, for the people who disagreed about my idea, what is your opinion on some of the cars with the gauge that shows FPS? I mean, this game is a simulation, right? How many real world vehicles have a FPS-o-meter?

Or in other words, "there are external programs to monitor this" So if LFS came with this feature of monitoring frmaes per second...which it does...it is okay, but something similar, like having the option to either monitor in car engine temperature or CPU temperature is rather senseless?

Just to be fair, I think this needs to be noted and read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F ... acional_%28Puerto_Rico%29

In a nutshell, they were (are) Puerto Rican terrorists. How do I know that, you say?

Because my wifes Uncle was one of them. And he admits they had they same intentions as Al Queda.

The grass is not always greener on the other side!

Hey all,

The drivers on demo servers are a lot more friendly, and thus it's a much better experience.

I never would have thought I would live to see the day that this sentence would appear.

They aren't home grown which the last bunch were, is what they have been getting at.

Oh. Pardon me.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

So far the 5 they have detained are Muslims.

....Were you expecting 5 lads from County Cork?

When I had a front wheel drive car, I would left foot brake so the car would rotate midway in a corner. I would let up the throttle halfway, dab the brakes, and the car would settle in the position I wanted to exit a corner.

If I did that in the AWD car I now drive, I would probably spin.

Just an idea. As I mentioned, if there was a way to select in the option screen to either have it monitor your cars engine temp or your CPU's...

No need to get hostile, everyone!

I have also been on the same server as Senna many many times, (who hasn't?) and while I like racing with him, sometimes he can be just be a bit too aggressive and not have much in the way of foresight.

Senna...Calling the ones who disagree with you "ball ends" is rather crude and childish, but so is some of the responses from others, also.

Fine...you pushed me over the edge. See you in a few.

i have only had lfs for a few months and i have covered over 10k miles

Bingo.

OT: If you do indeed own that vehicle that is your avatar, I hate you yousuckandgotohelldiediedie.

Quote from Hankstar :

If I'm not able to install transparent Lexus-style light covers on my XRT's tail-lights by the end of this financial year, I simply shan't play anymore.

I hear ya, brother...I gotta have the NOS, too. Two bottles. The big ones.

Now, how "cool" would that be? you can monitor your CPU's core temperature to make sure it is not stressed out from LFS. Have it in game options to have the gauge either monitor your LFS engine temp, or your computers.

A n00b is also someone who has been a member of LFS for two and a half years, yet has 6500 miles online.

How about these:

Ben Collins is the Stig? See page 5, point 37.

Quote from Gunn :

I believe that Indy is the only US circuit that has the facilities to host an F1 Grand Prix.

Bingo.

Quote from niall09 :

Laguna seca is good, but it seems very short. And also, would the "corkscrew" chicane be very dangerous for F1 cars?

I am a bit biased, but probably the best permanent road circuit for F1 cars in America would have to be Road America. It has two long sections, and the corners are for the most part straight out of a textbook. The only downside is that Road America can only handle about 100,000 people.

Number twelve is what my wife is. Yay! I knew there was a reason I married her.

You know you've played too much LFS when:

You go back and forth from your computer to your car to get the in car view settings perfect and to your liking.

Quote from Napalm Candy :

Hello, this is my first post in this forum.

I has a G25, and S2 license, I take playing 2 months. I think, that is the better car simulator of world, i really like it! But, i think that is goodable.

- The sound is very very poor. It practically is in mono.

- The physics are the best, but when you drift, notes that are not real. I has a friend that drift with his real Subaru Impreza STi (here a video in montmelo track, Spain, www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHWrIHBPemQ ) He say, that is too easy to lost control when you slide or drift. In the game, the car can to drift just by to go to 40kmh and to lose the control easily, in the reality the tires has different adhesion, does not lose the control so progressively, but that he is much more imminent, and
they return to have faster adhesion, giving whip to the direction.

I know that is not a drift game, but if the drift is not like a real life, it not has a realistics physics.

- The tyre produces more smoke when drift, in the reality, and the full interior of smoke.

- I see that the tyre has a deformation, this is a nice detail. But not has
blisters or explode, only blow.

-When you run a race in game, the ground is not soiled of rubber of tyres.

-When you crash, the ground is not soiled with a pieces of the car.

-The crashes with the barriers are very very little realistics. The car flies and flies…

-The motor of the car always works well, although it cuts injection for more than 2 minutes and it is sobrewarmed up, or although you have an accident to 300Kmh


I hope that at least it is understood to me.

Greetings.

Instead of responding to each point that you have argued, I will tell you that this game is still in it's Alpha stage, meaning that it has yet to be completed. Please keep in mind that the development team is comprised of three people, so that progress may be slow, you can be much assured that when the final version of this game is completed, it will be of a satisfactory nature and will most likely address your concerns.

Your grasp of English is is very good, I hope that my response is easily translated.

100-200 hours to make. Fixed.

I have Fraps, and I have Windows Movie Maker. Now I have an idea, a typed out storyboard, and a selling pitch to a certain individual who does coding for this game. It will take me an estimated 100-200 hours to make this, but when I do finish it, it will be spectacular.

Can I make something of quality with these two programs? What do YOU suggest? Adobe Premiere?

Keep in mind my patience is virtually endless, so I can deal with "sub standard" programs.
