Hmm. I thought about trying to be diplomatic here, but to hell with it. Clownpaint, what is up with this? You want to make sure that the white man's extensive history of enslavement is not forgotten? Just how BNP are you exactly?
Question answered, it would seem.
It's Giovanna Amati, unless you are trying to be funny here. Freudian slip perhaps?
To the guys who get upset about their screenshots or skins being borrowed without permission, can I just ask: how big is your MP3 collection?
Yeah, I thought so.
Yeah, I thought so.
17.5 laps per post: could have been so much worse.
Bee simulators eh?
That's just crazy enough to work... you are a rebel worker. Lay your own eggs and defeat the evil queen before the soldiers get you! Oh the drama.

What's it like being you, Jamexing? A little bit hectic?
For some reason I was sure there was going to be a third photo showing it airborne and a fourth one showing it hitting the water upside down...
Kudos to you that there wasn't.
Probably Night Driver on the Atari, aged I don't know, 11 maybe?
Then Motormania and Pole Position on the C64. Jeez I feel old now -- thanks a lot, OP.

Just muddle along for another forty to sixty years and then one day the problem will go away.
(Wish I had a better answer, as I know the feeling you're describing all too well.)

That's what it sounds like. If the OP could explain how it's better than Live Alert that would be most useful.
I long for the day when restarts are about as socially acceptable as a fart in an elevator.
I wouldn't normally suggest such an arcade-style feature, but I wonder what would happen if you didn't enable the collision detection until (say) one minute into the race. So accidents in T1 are impossible, as the cars will drive right through each other.
It's not that I seriously want this feature, as it would obviously ruin the sense of immersion, etc., but it's sad that something so clumsy could possibly solve the problem.
Or, trying to think laterally, what about spacing the cars further apart on the starting grid, thus trying to achieve greater separation at T1? And this setting could be server-specific, so you could go for a realistic grid like the current one, or a widely spaced "public server" style grid with car separations of 25m or more.

Todd, you are so hardcore.
How do you drive with the complete absence of landmarks in that thing?Count one more in the "agree" camp. I think this is a great way to put it.
Cyclists of the world, the gauntlet has been thrown down.
Come on George -- feedback please! How did it go?
Setu, I feel your pain. One of the many difficulties in fixing this problem is that the people you are complaining about generally don't frequent the forums. "We", meaning forum readers, probably weren't the ones calling you names and trying crazy passing moves in the first place.
I've seen some people who'd probably finish higher up the order if they left the limiter on, but that's a different story...
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think it's important to note that they got killed fairly often in those cars. So I think XCNuse is right to say that a wingless FO8 would be dangerous.
Hats off to Julek. Great to see such sportsmanship in LFS -- good post, Phil.
Because driving an Allegro to the supermarket is life, everything else is just waiting.
Completely agree. I guess my point is that in the meantime, while we're striving towards eventual perfection (
) it might help to get some good collision and damage modelling into the game. When people really pay the price for their carelessness, particularly in the open-wheelers, then maybe standards will improve.I think you're not seeing criticism because the ideas are excellent. Sure, we could pick on page-layout type issues in presenting all that info, but it wasn't your goal to produce a final draft, just a rough mockup, right?
Refining the "favourite" system could be cool. I can imagine having "hotlap favourite", "short race favourite" and "long race favourite" setups for instance.
While I'm at it, one feature I would love to see on the setup menu -- which would mean squeezing even more info on to the screen -- is to highlight the differences between two setups. I often want to look at where a recently donated or downloaded setup differs from my old one. Wouldn't it be convenient if there was a way to show both setups side-by-side, and even use colour-coding to indicate options on which they differed to a greater or lesser extent?
