Damn, I've been away for a while (ok, a somewhat big while) and this happens. You guys sure now how to surprise us out of the blue

The FB02 looks gorgeous, can't wait to take it out! Although I'll be very rusty I suspect.

Quote from Scawen :
I was able to get a test day driving the Formula BMW

You lucky b****** j/k
Awesome video. Cool to see a bit of Eric again

Anyway, my hands and feet are itching

Funny how when the changes to car resets were introduced some people were complaining about it and how it should have at least been an option. Now the force cockpit is introduced as an option and people are again complaining.
I'll bet when a better damage model is made people are going to complain as well.

Quote from Napalm Candy :And not to has send to www.lfsworld.com before

Not sending it through lfsworld first would also mean losing the ability to control and removal of certain skins (skins containing racism, pornograpy, or other offensive content)

Quote from Kirill.D :I know... but this thread is better then nothing - at least something. Maybe they will see it.

The devs have lives too, calm down a bit man. There's more to life than LFS, go outside or something, go do something. But don't go sitting here waiting for a response and kick up the topic everytime, as it will only seem to take longer that way.

In other words: relax....

Quote from Kirill.D :why ISNT IT POSSIBLE to buy vouchers and licenses thru the LFS account money ?

Well, it should be possible that way afaik. Just wait till Scawen or Victor sees your topic or send them an email. I'm sure it can and will be solved, no need to worry.

this suggestion isn't even worth giving a -1. So I won't.
What's next, asking Scawen not to fix the collision detection?

Quote from Cue-Ball :Essential? Pfffffft! People only race karts because they can't afford to race real cars.

hence the "I think" part of my post.
IMO it's essential because it's the type of racing just about every professional racer has started out in. It's a very pure form of racing and exciting because of that.
I think it would provide some excellent fun racing in LFS (as long as there will be dedicated kart tracks and not driving around Aston in it), and I think it would become very popular.
It has nothing to do with not being able to afford real race cars (not that there's any money involved in racing virtual cars anyway).
Michael Schumacher for example still liked to race karts when he was in F1, and I think we can both agree that he doesn't have any financial difficulties whatsoever.
So, a pretty short sighted response imo.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :I CAN aford s2, but dont hav broadband so cant download d s2 pack

Use a download manager?
Everytime you go on the internet you resume the download where it left of last time. Bit by bit you reel it in. Sure it will take some time, but you'll get it that way. Assuming you pay by minute online or something (don't know how it is over there but that's the way it was here before the broadband explosion), it won't cost you anything more.

Of the six suggestions I think one is nothing less than essential (karts). The others range from "meh" to "don't be silly".

your "proof" falls short. Proof (at least in my view) entails a way to scientifically explain something and then be able to reproduce the outcome. Unless you can tell me what I am thinking at a particular moment without being able to get any clues by body language or facial expression, I don't buy it.

Quote from R1K89 :
But i still think one thing is strange. in that time it was called: "De Nederlanden" in dutch and "The Netherlands" in english, and now "Holland" only is called "Nederland" in dutch BUT in english its still called "The Netherlands". (You would say it has to change to Netherland )

Not entirely sure what you mean but it shouldn't be called Netherland.
The only correct way to refer to our country in English is "The Netherlands".
When you say "Holland", you're actually only referring to the provinces Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. The Netherlands is the name for all provinces together, and thus the entire country. The Kingdom of the Netherlands includes the Dutch Antilles. Much like Great Britain for instance. We Dutch often (incorrectly) just call it "Engeland", but that's just one part of the kingdom (I don't think many Scotsmen like to be referred as being English )
So actually the English name is more correct than the Dutch
Not trying to be anal and OT, but I had to say that :P

I agree, summer is overrated.

another bad thing about summer: the people that have been complaining the whole year about the weather being bad and cold complain about it being too hot in the summer.

by reading the forums, especially the stickies.
And don't make non-descriptive silly topic titles.

When it crashes does it give you any error messages or crash address? If so, it might be good to post some screenshots of it. Then Scawen will probably be able to tell where it goes wrong and maybe he can do something about it.

Quote from Mike85 :Is anyone suing rfactor for all the mods? I dont think so.

The mods for rFactor are not made by the rFactor devs themselves.

Quote :
If there were real tracks, all the people who dont want real tracks would still be playing them. Thats hipocrisy. (I know I spelt that wrong, Im not English)

I haven´t seen ayone object to real tracks. Some people just don´t think they´re essential to enjoy the sim fully. So they would welcome them if they would get them, but if they don´t it´s fine as well.

Quote from The General Lee :
But why say "Yea, IE sucks balls!!" What OS are you running? "XP, why?"

I don't really see what the two have to do with each other. Sure IE is included with XP, but that's all really. For me personally Firefox offers me things that IE can't. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't use the OS it's included with. Because the OS itself suits me just fine and I have no big problems with it. The browser however doesn't suit me.

Quote :
You are really just contradicting yourself really. - I'm not flaming you and I understand that Firefox has more features and is maybe a split second faster. But why slate IE, made by Microsoft as we know, but use the OS.

It's no contradiction really. Compare it with not buying a car you really like just because you don't like the stereo system that comes with it. You get a different stereo system for it.

Quote :
I can understand why FF is better, but to knock IE while using the OS to me just seems silly.

Sorry but I still don't get your reasoning An OS and a browser are two different things and one's not excluding the other. I can like the OS but not like the browser. The same as I can choose to use a different filemanager than windows explorer. Essentially an OS is just a platform that enables you to run applications on it.

Quote :
Its like owning a Bugatti and saying damn VW's sooooo badly made. Kind of...

No, because Bugatti and VW's are both cars. IE and XP are not both an OS or browser

But in the end, everyone has different tastes and preferences, so one should just use what one feels comfortable with
