Again, this makes no sense. This sim is limited by hardware specs such as monitor size. If we were to actually put the FOV at 20 degrees, we can see the dashboard, but then we can't see anything else. Reasonable compromises have to be made in order to mitigate the limitations brought about by current hardware.
20-degree FOV is not reasonable. It's just plain silly.
LOL. Have you actually even driven the cars? To say the FBM is like the FOX is pure folly. Even without FFB the handling differences are bleeding obvious.
I love how they put the decals on the car in such a way (Penisten's or something like that), in just the right place so that when the door was opened, it just said PENIS. 
The other side of the car was similar, but I can't remember what it said.

That is your opinion, not anything which can be substantiated with data. And the popularity of FOX/FBM servers proves that such an opinion is clearly the minority.
British F3?
At any rate that's really cool, good luck and hopefully you'll make it to F1 so you can plug LFS during an interview in front of a global audience.
That doesn't make any sense.
I have a similar system (P4 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM, X800XL running as 1280x1024) and I run 4xAA / 8xAF with good FPS.
I was just going to post the same thing.
Looks like a great combo. I'm giddy with anticipation for running this circuit with a full grid of Formula BMWs.
South City Chicane Route
For those of you who already have X30 installed, what's Chicane Route like? What sort of laptimes can you do, in the FBM in particular?
Could someone please post a screenshot of the layout map? I'm having trouble visualizing exactly which parts of the other South City layouts it uses. Am I correct in assuming that it uses only existing South City areas and that there are no new sections?
In your opinion, is it better in Standard or Reversed?
Also screenshots of any updated textures, new buildings, new armco, new kerbs, anything else that is new would be greatly apprecated.

Could you post a screenshot of that? And any other changes to the BL layout.
Also if someone could please post a shot of the map of South City Chicane Route, that would be great.
Thank you guys very much for your continued efforts to provide us with the best racing sim in the world.
Absolutely. And the Renault is not likely to be the pacesetter either, so he'll be fighting for every inch of ground in the upper midfield.
Well F1 isn't the place to be looking then.
Seriously though, De La Rosa is the wise choice. He isn't the fastest driver out there, but he's a consistent test driver and will accept a de facto #2 status against Hamilton. That way Lewis won't have to deal with the stress of a very fast, equal-status teammate distracting him and he can focus on driving the hell out of the car and winning the championship.
Yeah that's too bad for him. He's a respectable guy and I hope he manages to find work somewhere in F1 to keep his career alive.
Well yeah, I know that. I wanted details, as in a close-up screenshot of exactly what has been modified and where.
You lucky bastards already have the patch while I'm 186 miles away from my gaming PC.
This is probably due to the dedicated host / test patch / patch Y silliness that's occuring today. It should resolve itself soon.
Yeah but that was just for three years 2007-2009. The FIA extended it even further.
Like Bob said, all the engines on the current F1 grid are making about the same power. Cosworth was pushing out more than anyone at the end of last year, and at higher RPMs, but they were quite unreliable. And aren't here at all anymore regardless.
This really isn't that big a deal. The FIA is simply forcing teams to stop pouring millions and millions into incredibly small details which A) fans can't see, and B) which don't appreciably affect the racing. The top teams run their wind tunnel and CFD programs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Three eight-hour shifts a day. For what? One more swoopy winglet, or an even crazier looking front wing which improves aero efficiency by 0.02%. It makes more sense for teams to spend money on improvements which make a significant difference in the quality of the racing (banning winglets to reduce aero disturbance for following cars) and on technology which is useful for road-going cars. Remember, for many people (read: manufacturers) F1 is as much a technical exercise to acclerate technological advances as it is a spectacle of driver skill.
On the other hand, grand prix racing should be free of silly restrictions and bureaucratic intrusion as much as possible. Both arguments have their merits.
Hopefully the FIA have made a wise choice and coupled with the massively different aero rules / regenerative braking techonology / et cetera that's coming soon, the quality of the show will improve.
We'll see.
This probably will not be the only time the AI is updated before S2 final.
AI awareness may very well not be improved at all in this patch. Then again, it could be.
We'll see soon enough.
I see a lot spouting off without bothering to actually think first. Night races aren't any more dangerous for F1 in the daytime. If they were, even a little, they would never have done it.
I agree with this. Whether the OP meant this I honestly can't say.
Yes, but all that stuff is minor. Before worrying about changing the sounds and getting hi-res cockpit skins and such, just focus on the sim itself. It's involving enough to keep you occupied for a long time.
No way man! You're the same OneTinSoldier from WOLF / BF1942 / Forgotten Hope, right? Remember me?
If you're going to be playing today, PM me and I can get on WOLF TS and give you some pointers.
You're right, I did not get that part of the joke.
My apologies.
This doesn't make any sense. Spectator visibility is the same on a floodlit track at night as it is during the day. How is it somehow a less 'real' race, other than the fact that you personally don't happen to like it?
Of course not. This only makes your F1 experience worse. Again though, this has absolutely nothing to do with your opinion but with the fact that many many times more people in Europe skip watching fly-away races because of the broadcast time. It is just practical business to satisfy the vast majority of your audience, even at the expense of a few. And this is 100% a business decision, not a sporting one.
This won't appreciably affect the racing.
Wrong. FOM have been profiting enormously; circuit owners (not all of them in Europe) usually lose money staging a Grand Prix. Night racing is an opportunity for venue owners to make their event stand out from the rest and make it possible to profit by hosting F1. Ignoring the logistical problems, holding the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne under lights would make it even more prestigious and special, which is to say viewed by more spectators live and on TV and thus more profitable.
There aren't any restrictions for the SMS service listed on the LFSWorld page. Will it work on US phones?
