Realism is just a subjective illusion. No point in arguing about what's real and what's not. Directions of developement on the other hand can be discussed. Arguing is just silly.

Real life (from my subjective point of view) is just too much of a mess. (Everything feels like a big mess when body temperature is above 38...)

"What you see is what you have" would be nice through the season, since why bother publishing the points until the end otherwise? Current formula works if - in my opinion - the multiplier is capped into 1.0 and somehow current "true" overall score is shown after every race.

But hey, I'll race whatever the scoring system is (as long as I can beat Russ in the overall scores ). Just wanted to let my opinion be known.

Quote from JohnyK :In every racing game are really important the graphics - reason is that driver drives the car according what he sees...so I think you should make some graphic improvement such as AS and AF setting in visual options.

I agree that visual clues are very important. However I don't quite understand how graphic improvements could make the clues any better (at least the as/af settings). I think lsf already draws the important stuff very nicely.

If you have time to watch the scenery (or skins), you're not driving fast enough

Problem is, that it would be nice to see correct standings during the season. I don't have a valid suggestion at this point and I'm not completely aware how the score was calculated this season.

I'd just say, that what's wrong with - for example if season has 10 events - dropping two non-negative scores from overall score? That way DNSH would lead to punishment and skipping two events would be possible without penalty to overall scores.

Just a thought, might even be an old one.

I would like race lengths from 60 to 90 minutes. More racing in more time. But also a nightmarish to organize. With race lenght over an hour, you can recover from early mistakes more nicely.

Pool 5

Started 3rd with killer strategy, but it failed since I revealed it in lagstart. The fzr's in front closed the middle door in real start. Got bumped a little, no biggie. Made a drastic driving mistake in lap two (or three) and ended almost last. From there on it was blitz. I made my way up to first position (last two positions gained were thanks to pitstops of others and lack of mine). I drove FXR and tried to make it without pitting. Didn't work. On lap 29 it was really obvious that although the R3's could have lasted, they cooled down really fast.

There went the grip. I made some setup adjustments from F12 screen. I changed into R2's with higher pressures and lower camper. That was planned just before the race. It was my hotlapping setup and it worked.

I fell right back into being third, but could clock new pb and faster laps than before. I gained a little and then a lot when the second place holder had problems and had to pit. NASSA's Osoi was about 30 secs ahead and drove pretty much the same laptimes as me, so the rest was just driving fast and safely.

Me very happy to second place Perhaps the best race in the whole season for me. Which is funny, since I didn't like the gtr-cars before the actual race. FXR rocks, and luckily didn't roll this time.

Quote from Blackout :But about the Hummers and SUVs, I hate them. Every time I see one of those I feel I should go and shoot the owner in the face.

Maybe that's why they make the bullet-proof SUVs

Quote from Hyperactive :Some people are not even checking if there is someone on their side. They just turn in.

And some people try to overtake in first chance, whether possible or not.

Racing room gives more time to react to other's mistake and therefore grant a pass or clearance.

I totally agree.

Now I'm getting what Hyper's saying. I agree in those things about the "spirit" of the tracks. I still keep my view concerning the honing of trackdetails.

Steep hills with turns are what I miss. Few weeks ago I was longboarding in Ahvenisto track and fell in love with the profile. Very steep up and downhills with nice, tight corners.

Just a thing that pop into my mind after reading some post in this (and several similar) thread...

Could it be, that it's quite hard to make a superb track when the physics aren't "done" yet? Some Finn said earlier in this thread, that Aston's eau rougie feels weird. It's just that we or eric can't actually know how it will feel after next physics update.

I would presume that building a track takes a lot of test driving. Same goes with new cars. No point in pushing more tracks and cars into public when next physics update could change the balance (or idea behind track and car) and therefore produce much more tweaking for the modeller. Easier to keep tracks and cars "half-done" and finish them little by little.

Kind of frustrating, when I know I can beat my current hotlap with nearly two seconds (when counting the best splits), but again I'm not able to put those good splits together.

Maybe I can pinch some time today before quali end...
