As if IE is synonym to XP, and Safari is synonym to OSX?
So, if you don't use any of the standard XP apps you shouldn't use the OS?
Sorry, but that's really twisted reasoning there.
I mean, why run XP if you're going to use Photoshop instead of paint?
(ok it's a stretch but that's how Firefox feels compared to IE
)That's actually one of the reasons I stopped using iTunes. Aside from being slow and resource devouring. As far as usability I think it's a nice app. But I can't stand you get QuickTime with it whether you want it or not. It also installs an "iPod service" that's sitting there on my harddrive and in my RAM using up resources. But the thing is, I don't have an iPod... so I don't get why it should be running on my system. You can stop and disable the service though...every time all over again when you get an iTunes update.
It also installs some other service called "iTunes Helper service". So far it hasn't helped me a bit though. Even more annoying is that you can stop and disable the service, but when you restart your PC it's back up and running.
I was actually quite surprised that Safari is available in a QT-less version.
It's gone off my system already though, I click the bookmarks button on the toolbar->crash, choose bookmarks in the menubar->crash, add a bookmark folder->crash, import bookmarks->crash, show all history->crash. All reproducible 100%. POS.
it better!
surely it shouldn´t be a problem at all.

Yes, car difference is normal, but there are severall car classes in LFS and those classes had a clearly strongest car making the other cars hardly used because they were almost always uncompetitive. This requires adjustments, it´s something the community has been asking for for a long time.
If one of the cars in a class is clearly the best, it´s not of much use to create car classes in the first place.
The BF1 is a real car so it should have the real specs. And besides that, the BF1 is alone in it´s class so balancing wouldn´t be needed anyway.
Tried it out last night. During the 15 minutes I tried it out it crashed about 7 times or so. I know it´s a beta build and all, but it´s very unstable for me.
Also, quite a lot of pages looked borked. I know that not every page is coded correctly, but considering standards compliance is really good in Firefox and Opera too, it seemed to me it was a bit too bad.
Will be interesting to see how this develops, but I don´t really see what this browser offers that others don´t already do.
Plus, a common problem with apple´s apps for windows is that they´re basically ports and because of that they are usually slow and don´t behave like a proper windows app should.

Nice, now if I could only code
Will be interesting to see what people will come up with in the future. Would be nice that if you enter a server an app could give you a quick overview of your stats on that track/combo for example.Going to try out the new version tomorrow
All I can say is that if you're hoping for the physics model to stay the same forever, you're going to be dissapointed. It's not finished after all, this sim is a work in progress.
Just to be clear, I wasn't referring to you in my previous post. Sorry if it came across that way.
Funny how some people know so well how to criticize changes in LFS all the time, yet choose not to partake in discussions about planned changes before they are implemented and complain afterwards. Talk about obnoxious, passive and clueless.
Besides, the whole handicap system is temporary anyway until definitive changes are made to the cars specs. So if you have constructive suggestions for it, act now and don't come complaining when it's too late again...

Maybe not entirely specific to this handy little app, but I was wondering. With the new insim features would it be possible to construct your own OSD?
So you can choose whichever on screen info you want displayed? If so that would be a great way to customize the available screen info to your personal preferences.

I am not on a crusade against anyone. I am merely giving my opinion on matters, I believe I am allowed to am I not? If you object to me giving my personal opinion I suggest you stay away from internet discussion forums. I have no problem with people using LFS in other ways than it was intended for. People asking for changes to LFS to turn it into something it's not and shouldn't be, that's a different matter.
Contacts between the devs and any member of LFS have always been friendly and mannered.
And I am saying I don't agree with that opinion.
Did I ever mention that would be a bad thing? Ofcourse that would be a good thing, and thus it will be completed.
A system wherein decisions are made based upon consensus of the majority.
That's the best way I can.
Exactly, they would make an other game.
And that's where you fail to see the difference between LFS and most other games.
No, the devs won't do it for free, but money isn't a determining factor in choices that are made for LFS. Don't believe me, look up some of Scawen's posts.
I am absolutely convinced they wouldn't. There will never be a "money system". And once again, barrier physics is not "a cruising thing", it's part of the core of LFS and will be completed. I don't know where you would get the idea that it somehow has something to do with cruising servers.
See below.
I didn't know sales of S2 weren't sufficient to pay the devs bills?
They have been doing this for 5 years now, so my guess is that they're doing fine.
I'm repeating myself again, but everyone can do whatever they want with LFS. I never said they couldn't.
These are also not cruising specific things. The whole cruising thing can exist because of the Autocross editor which has been in LFS way before the first cruising server appeared.
Please don't take my words out of their context. Reading something is not good enough, you have to be able to understand and interpret what you read as well.
I am not telling Scawen what to do at all. If you think I am like that you clearly have no clue about me. If you read through my post history you will see that I am completely the opposite telling people (like Mike85) they don't need to tell Scawen what to prioritize on or demand development plans and schedules from him.
All I am doing here is giving my personal view on it. If that's something you can't realise, deal with or if it affects you in any bad way may I suggest using the ignore feature of this board.

awesome!
You should do one just like this but with the three devs!
And all those people bought a racing simulator.
What if a group of people decided to use some FPS game not as a FPS game but as some sort of RPG game. And after a while they start demanding patches from the developers so they can play their own RPG type games better? What do you think a company like iD would say?
Everyone can play it like they want to, that does not mean every wish they have will be fulfilled, especially if it doesn´t fit in LFS´ development.
This isn´t about pleasing as many people as possible and it´s not about democracy.
And once more:
License agreement
1.4You must be aware that we can alter any aspect of LFS as we see fit. Improvements, fixes and/or changes made to the game, are to be expected.
once again, popularity isn´t the determining factor, it´s the goals of LFS.
Like what?
If the devs would want to have a TDU like game, they would have made it already. They probably would earn more from it too.
You blow things out of proportion. If you don´t realise that yourself or don´t have any proof of the things you mention so often as you claim then there is nothing I can say that would be able to convince you really.
This thread is getting a bit silly imo. I guess some people are just overly sensitive.
Well, I asked DK to give 10 examples since he's saying it happens so often. He has a point to prove, so that does not mean I'm going to search for examples myself.
I feel DK is taking some bad experiences, putting them under a magnifying glass and claiming this is the way it goes all the time. Plus, exaggerating is one of his specialties.
So you met an ****. Does this prove anything about the community in general? Everybody can go on telling about their own bad experience and how some guy in some race did something to them and wasn't nice, but it has nothing to do with being a community problem. There's idiots everywhere in real life, everywhere online, so they are in LFS too. Plus, on some server types I think you run into them more often, but I'm probably stepping on someone's toe again now.
So, at this point they just say hi, don't get into the race yet and already getting the "go practice offline noob"? And the way you describe this, it happens like this all the time? That's weird because I have NEVER experienced this.

Again, extremely exaggerated. The poor poor demoracers. It's getting tiresome now.
Example: If a demo racer comes on the forum complaining about the high amount of wreckers, it is a good advice to recommend getting a license.
Another example: If a demo racers comes on the forum saying he would like to drive more cars in LFS, it then is...right.
A challenge: as you say it happens everytime I challenge you to direct me to 10 occasions where this has happened and was totally uncalled for. If it happens that much it shouldn't be hard to do.
Just tested it out, cool stuff Vain 
Will think about suggestions when I'm thinking clearer

Think about some people's already (unjustifiable) complaining about LFS' pricing. Releasing LFS through retail channels will without a doubt add quite a lot to the pricing. You need to have the CD's pressed, print booklets, package it, distribute it, hand over a percentage to the stores and distributors, and all this for a game that appeals only to a (relatively) small segment of the market. The ones that would be interested in LFS may be put off by the pricing they see in shops and because of that maybe don't even find out you can buy it online for a lower price.
I agree with you for the most part. But on a related note to your point 4, here's my
subsection 4b)
The oversensitiveness of certain groups in the LFS community (demo racers, drifters, CnR players, etc).
Ofcourse there's no need to bash someone just for being a demo racer or drifter, but these days you can hardly give any criticism to let's say a demo racer.
You're automatically labeled a demo racer hater even though you would have said the same thing if the person in question was an S2 player. That's what I call annoying and hiding in a victim role.
The "hate" towards demoracers on this forum is EXTREMELY exaggerated. Everything you say that could be interpreted in a negative way has someone going off when it's a demoracer you're adressing to.
The way I see it is that this is a very straight forward community. People around here tend to be honest and therefore outspoken. So it's really a matter of "you get out of it what you put in yourself"
People in general in the sim and on the forum are extremely helpful and generous (most helpful forum I've ever been a part of), but if you're going to be a lazy bastard, you're going to get treated as such. Come in and ask your questions/suggest your ideas in a well mannered way and you're going to get all the help and good discussions you need.
hmm, edited my post to add to my thoughts and I said exactly the same as srdsprinter :0 spooky...

And all you do is piss on everything that you don't agree with. And when it becomes clear that most other people don't agree with you you start calling them fanboys who aren't able to form their own opinion. Because it couldn't possibly be that most people simply don't agree with you! Ofcourse not! Oh the thought!
Removing keyboard and mouse support will exclude people who don't have a wheel (yet) from getting to know the game. If you read around the forums you will notice that sooner or later people stop by for advice on which wheel to get.
The same goes for auto clutch. Until the G25 arrived there were practically no affordable wheels with a clutch pedal. Removing auto clutch for the sake of realism would put people on the sideline. Changing the reset options does not exclude a certain group of people, it effects everybody. So it
's a totally different thing.

And that's why those issues will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches for sure. New steps towards realism shouldn't be held back because of other known realism issues. Remember that this is a sim in development. So it should become more realistic, step by step. Personally I would like Scawen to prioritize on the collision detection for the new patch, but who knows what he will do first, it's up to him
People that have something against the changed resets are in for a tough time when the damage model will be improved. But at least you have a valid reason to object to it
