Never used a blue flag message, never will, it's pointless as the Driver knows It already.
I have been on the receiving end of blue flag messages in the past and they pissed me of big time, I think they can produce the opposite of the desired effect.

Saying that I do think there is a problem with people pitting out mid race and not understanding there NOT IN THE RACE and therefore should not impede or slow down the people who are in the race , all I do know is screaming BLUE FLAG at them is counterproductive.

LFS is the most involving Online driving experience I have had since GPL.. Its a bargain for me, I don't care if its alpha beta or Omega, its a bit good.

End of the commercial .. back to your regular program

Absolutely nothing, huh

I Like LFS the way it is, chicanes are the closest I get to a work out

walk over to them and repeatidly punch them in the face. Like a REAL man

Eh? ...WHAT?....LOL
The definition of a REAL man is jogging home after vasectomy surgery.

The only reward I want is clean fun races, I got this on STCC and I,m sure it will be even better on CTRA,I see the points system as a means to an end the goal being great racing,saying that I like gold coins with chocolate in the middle

Hi Maxim
Great report thanks
Its my car of choice because I love the the way It corners and handles, what I did notice after a break from Conedodgers Is the big increase of FXR drivers since patch X was released and how I can't seem to catch them.. or anyone.

They could add 50kg and I would still drive it, Try the XRR next time, you may like it

Slightly slower lap time ,around 0.10 sec on average with it enabled, But I have a feeling if and When engine damage gets worked in future patches having it enabled will give you MUCH faster lap times .


And yes it does sound better.

A) go with the pros and come last most of the time

Racing with faster drivers will make you faster as well, watching the car in front disapearing into the sunset is a great motivator

I don't think it can be that hard to implement a simple restriction for licensed drivers on CD1.

SO go and setup your own server and see how much work is involved to give others FREE racing on your server and while your at It make sure you please everyone all the time

the single best piece of advice whilst racing IMO is "stay in the present" I wish I could

So true ,don't think about that great split you just wasted or what could happen next lap..... focus 100% on the next corner, not that easy though.
PMA is far more important in LFS than even the best setup IMO,Very interesting broadcast SD thanks for link

GTG and taunt fellow drivers of being in boy band's

Quote :

Ugly, unforgiving and laggy. Those are the reasons to use it.

My favorite GTR, smoothness and delicate control input always pays off with the XRR... a great drive.

The genuine people in LFS out way the negative elements by a large margin.
Over the years I've had so many good experiences and great races in LFS and lots and lots of laughs , had skins painted for me, when I started in LFS I got offered setups and advice from day one.

So I dont have a blue flag!! macro I have a Thanks one instead,and you know something it seems to work better.

Just tried the CD3 server what a cracking car/track combo very enjoyable

Schumacher is also driving in regular open roads. Does it means that that Paris Hilton is as much a real racer as Ayrton Senna ?

not for the next few weeks

I have been following this thread with interest some good points have been made, I think the subject has been well covered.

What I have noticed that there have been posts from a few about hard clean racing all very true wish there was more racing like this in LFS, but the problem is SOME don't practice what they post.

Had many great races on the CD servers in the past, all the best for your new CD2 server hope it brings better racing for all.

I've seen Drivers take the easy route and gently bump the driver ahead of them off the track before the turn gain a place...result.

To the OP of course its not right if both cars are level at turn in point the inside driver should not run another car off the track, but many drivers have an real advantage its called not giving a shit.

crop circles... the truth is out there.
Nice one

the morons that disobey blue flag all the time or crash you before even first turn

Funny you should say that I was watching you earlier on the Redline BL server and you did all of above and a lot more all in technicolour MPR.

Over the years I have found It's drivers making a move on the inside where there is no chance In hell that they could hold the corner being 3 car lengths behind and end up using me as arm-co causes most problems for me

I think its Important that the overlap "rule"starts at the braking point.

I have been rammed off the track so many times by other drivers who seem to to think they have alien braking technology that allows them to put the Anchors on 50 Meters later than I can, then find out at the Apex that ET went home.

I TRY and avoid all contact for the reasons mentioned but mainly because 5 years of GPL has hardwired my brain in this way .

Driving with this mindset is what makes LFS fun for me and is the main reason for me having "just one more race".

A little rub here and there is fine, but tapping other's off track at t1 and moving on up or making a heroic inside move when you 5 car lengths behind at the corner.... not acceptable.

Yes I Agree but nature in its wisdom gives them an attention span to match there temper, racing becomes boring much quicker for them.

Quote :

Could we please get to know the formula for number of points? It would solve many problems.

What problem will that solve?.

Now maybe It's is just me But I get nothing from points or shiny badges , I race on the STCC servers because the racing Is great!, the cleanest racing going and its not just the fast guys, new drivers many seconds off the pace show great race craft and respect.

best reward you can get

Hotlapping in GPL offline, Far too dangerous ATM to race online.

Mosport+ Ferrari... still amazing.

ST is a great film some of the scenes are still visually amazing.

I'm a big fan also of the Late Carl Sagan his Cosmos series in the late 70's really struck a chord with me ,so although many people hate it, CONTACT is also one of my favorite SCI FI films, the opening sequence still gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it.
