Well, you need speed in order to race. Furthermore, it actually says Live for Speed online RACING simulator.
I never drag but it IS a form of racing, with speed being the determining factor. Furthermore the drag strip can be used to test the acceleration of a racing setup.
Well, the skid pad is meant to assist in tuning setups which you use to race.
Can't argue with that.
In rally "drifting" is a needed RACING technique to be fast and win races. So there's a big difference with drifting on tarmac where it just slows you down.
A good example of how to bring across what you like and don´t like about the patch, in a constructive and civilised manner. My compliments, people should take this as an example instead of just getting angry and demanding things back/changed.
First render I did in a looong time (a HD crash destroyed all my scenes some time ago ) It's got disturbing artifacts, don't know why. Going to have to get myself into it again.
double click the .exe, a dialog window will come up asking you to point to your LFS directory. Do that and press ok, when asked to overwrite files choose yes to all. Done
I'm just curious to know how do the Avon and Bridgestone track adverts and tyre brand choices fit into this story? Or is that a separate unrelated thing? Is there any further connection with them like the providing of data which could be of advantage to LFS or did they just don't mind the use of their brands in LFS?
He has a computer he has an internet connection, it can´t be that bad. Yes I know the computer could have been given.
It´s not about hostility. It´s about keeping it in perspective and realising you´re getting it for free.
And checking each person´s nationality and looking up the economic status of his country is really taking it too far. And besides it doesn´t really say anything about the person in question. There´s rich people in poor countries and there are poor people in rich countries.
Well, I do think it can offer good help to new players, and even more experienced players, I feel it should be available in singleplayer only (or is it? haven´t tested it out)
Well apart from not agreeing on all three aspects (I don't really think any explainination is needed. The MRT looks very different from the FOX and the FOX looks very different from the BF1), it still doesn't hold anything against the statement that LFS has too many singleseaters. He didn't say anything about driving characteristics or looks, he just said there are too many and then period. Which is a stupid statement. After all, LFS could have a Formula Ford for instance which has no downforce (neither does the MRT btw) yet it is a singleseater.
And well yeah, it's kind of hard (and ridiculous) to make a front engined singleseater car, so that argument is kind of easy. Oh, and the BF1 doesn't have slicks btw.
Definitely agree. There's a lot more to gain on the short (and long) run just by refining what we currently have. Remember that some of the cars and tracks in LFS are still basically the same as in the S1 days. Which is already about 5 years ago. Over those years people have getting better PC's, and Eric's skills have improved. Just take a look at how nice the FB02 looks compared to the older cars. Some of the cars could really use a couple of more polygons without having a big impact on the performance. The UF1 being the best example. That one just really isn't a good representation of Eric's work anymore.
The level of track detail is pretty much perfect now, it has a good balance. Some errors could be corrected though and LFS definitely needs better shadows, Kyoto being the worst.
The recent improvements of SO and BL are good examples of how refining the current content just works wonders.
Total ammount of cars in LFS: 20
Total amount of singleseaters in LFS: 5
What's your point again?
Also, I didn't get the memo in which you were appointed an authority in this. Having an opinion is fine, presenting it as a fact is not.
I wouldn't mind even more singleseaters, a 70's/80's F1 would be incredible.
Well, that's your opinion and preference and nobody is stopping you from choosing your own favourite car. How about granting other people that same choice?
There can never be too many of whatever type of car in LFS. People will choose for themselves what they drive.
Good for you, but I would.
The idea of removing any car from LFS is utter stupidity bordering on insanity.
No it´s not. It gives a much better impression of LFS now. And that is what the demo is meant for, a demonstration.
The LFS demo isn´t made to keep people happy that use the game for free.
Good riddance. A lot of them would play the demo untill the end of days, so I don´t see what the big loss would be. Those who truly want to keep playing will buy a license.
Besides anyone getting mad because of something they get for free is silly.
Also, there are still other cars to drift with.
I think you´re being dramatic. Serious races will still find their way to LFS, and now with a different type of racing being presented in the demo, it gives a much better impression of LFS.
I didn't say that. I said that I think a career mode is a bad idea. Your logic escapes me, because I didn't say LFS should have an arcade mode only. I don't know where you got that idea.
LFS is an online racing simulator, not a real life simulator. Otherwise we could start simulating engine revision, cleaning the pitbox, arranging catering for the team, etc. Yes I am stretching.
