If I win I will run a competition to give it away to a demo account.

Great! That's my favourite track

/me watches the last few posts fly right over his head

Also, while we are being pedants, which average did you use? Mean? median? Mode? other I can't think of?

Are you bored Shadowww?

No we aren't cheap

But a good one will save you money which should make it win win

Corporation tax is currently at 21% for small companies but to be fair we don't know if they are incorporated or not. I haven't seen Ltd or the line "Scavier is the trading name of xxxxx ltd. Incorporated in England No. xxxxxx" Which is a legal requirement on invoices and some other stuff. If it was on my email receipt for my s2 licence I don't remember it.

All this being said, none of us actually know what is being earned and I don't think it is the sort of thing that should be discussed here. I probably shouldn't have even joined in with my point about tax.

Greybull, you forgot to add /thread to the end of your post

Also don't forget that they will be paying tax just like the rest of us also. How much will depend on how good their accountants are

Someone needs to change the thread title to , "What an amazing party"

I love the LFS forum because it gives me something to do when I am bored at work

Quote from The Moose :

Really great to hear an update of the physics engine is in the works.

Very sad to hear a content pack wont be available until after S3. If this sim needs anything sooner rather than later it's new content.

See you back on track in 5 years then i guess....

Ha ha, this is the thing about hearing things 3rd hand, I understood it to mean something different.

The way I read it was. After S3 has been finished (the stage we understand to be the final stage) they intend to then release content packs. This does not mean that S3 will not have new content also.

This is the very reason little information can be dangerous.

Cue a new thread "whats the point of S3 if it will have no new content!"

You mean someone on the internet pretended to be someone else? :eek:

I bet that's never happened before

A 10 second google search gave me this

Prehaps there you will find a quicker answer than here

cool, thanks void I shall check those later when I get home from work

were they taken from tuesday nights racing? If so I think it could be the race I mentioned above. Epic!

Thanks for your reply. So it is possible that it was lag. I guess I won't be able to tell from my replay as someone who hasn't braked hard enough and what you describe "zoomed into the back of you" would look the same?

It's not worth worrying about, it was one knock in one race. It just intrigues me and I'd like to see his replay to see the differences.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see if he sends it to me.

Would it be best to see a replay from someone who wasn't involved in the incident? Something I won't be able to get hold of now though.

I'll post this here becuase it's a question.

Last night I was racing on BL1R and 3 of us were entering the chicane together with 1 behind. Now as it was three of us entering together we obviously couldn't all enter at normal speed for the chicane so we had to slow a little more.

The lone car behind us then caught up and hit me from behind, knocking me off the track.

Oh well thinks I, s*** happens, but I am a little annoyed that the guy who hit me didn't say sorry so I tell him so. He's still racing and so doesn't reply so I go off and take a quick look at the replay before I say any more.

In the replay I saved it clearly shows him not braking enough and hitting me.

So the race ends and I ask him why he didn't bother to apologise.

"I didn't hit you, you lagged" is the answer I get back.

"My replay shows you clearly hit me" says I

"Not mine" says he.

So I ask him to save it and say that I will apologise if this is indeed true.

I've also PM'd him on here with my email address asking him to forward the replay to me but so far he hasn't. Though it was only just over 12 hours ago I asked for it so I'm not saying he's refusing/ignoring. I'm just interested in the answer and a litte impatient.


So my question: Is this possible? I've not come accross it yet.

I don't have the replay here at work and see no point in posting it anyway as I'm only asking a general question and see no need to get names involved.

SparkyDave, I did a quick search but saw no recent discussions on this issue. Maybe it's one of those things that the we're glad it's more realistic club ignore!!

danowat, I was at the back of a line of 27 cars all finishing the race together tonight (well 28 seconds apart but a line of 27 cars with an average gap of 1 second is rare in my experience so far).

NotAnIllusion, yeah I don't think a marshall is the answer. Like you say if you go wide by accident it would be really annoying to be spec'd for an error that is going to lose you time anyway. It's just a shame that these "fast" drivers feel they need to cheat to be "fast". I watched a couple of drivers do it EVERY lap. Maybe LR can bring in a rule for this and make it reportable? The forum for reports doesn't seem too full, or is it heavily edited? Or am I being anally retentive? (sp?)

Last night at one point we were on FE3R and after rolling my car at the chicane I decided to watch the leaders for their lines rather than rejoining.

I noticed that at both the chicane and T1 they were cutting the corner, ie up on the grass and all wheels inside the white line at the side of the track.

Is this generally accepted as ok? I've always believed that the rule is for 2 wheels to be on the track (the track side of the white line).

If this is accepted as ok it's hardly realistic and simulating racing or is it a case of most people do it and to be competitive you have to follow?

Or the original account holder decided to take it back again as it is linked to his email address

i already tried advertising myself on THE WHOLE ****ING STREET...humiliating as all shit!!! nobody called except for one guy who ended up doing it himself :banghead::mad::arge::gnasher::irked::ashamed:

Hi mate,

Don't feel humiliated that you have got off your ass and looked for work. Decent people will see it as a positve thing. The only people who will laugh are the lazy and you are already better than them.

Good luck with getting the internet on your gaming PC

Quote from hyntty :

Sorry, but with the current system I cannot be arsed to occupy the server as I don't like xfg/xrg so much (of cource for a change sometimes, they're fun cars after all). I just cannot be arsed to spend weeks gathering points just to notice some day that it's all for nothing as inevitably the organisers will get fed up with this and shut down the servers.

Besides, 1500 points to drive UFR? that would mean that if you scored 10 every race (which is quite optimistic for me as there is always at least two faster guys than me online) with the rate of 10 races per day (which is quite many for casual pick-up racing anyway) it would take 15 days. I think I let alone many more or less talneted people could be trusted with an ngt immediately and not in 3 weeks.

Don't get me wrong, ranking system is a fine idea but I do not have all days to spend collecting points in a car I wouldn't want to drive when I could be on the other server having fun. Presumably this too is going to be like ctra where the entry level server is going to be an epic crashfest, and people who would like to drive the entry level cars rather go elsewhere because it's the entry level server.

You make a big assumption there considering you state that you "cannot be arsed"

One major difference between this and the old CTRA is that this has active online admins, well it has Void , and doesn't solely rely on a reporting system.

Anyway, it's your choice and your loss if you "cannot be arsed". Personally I've had some great racing there. Why you could be arsed to make that post though is beyond me but who am I to question your motives.


...and while I'm posting in this thread...

Void, any news on that website that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread? Or have I missed something?

Quote from STF :

Great stuff man, great stuff.



Those 550 miles or so.. You`re sure they weren`t in the direction of your new home?

haha no I only live about 10 miles away from the old man.

If she didn't have a chip she'd have never been traced back to us, so it's a to chipping pets

Thank you all for your kind words. I haven't actually seen Lucy since she got home as I no longer live with my old man, haven't done for years, but I'll be seeing her at the weekend.
