Quote from mutt107 :just wait till forza 3 comes out in stores, try the demo(if you can) and turn all assists off and tell me if its a arcade game.

Don't try arguing, please, it's futile. Besides, this whole debate about which is more "sim" and which more "arcade" is stupid. They're both really great games, some prefer one over the other, other people like 'em both.

To each his own. Man, this "console war" is really really really really getting old.



Really.

Quote from sinbad :That post and your one above is just a load of waffle. You sound more like you're trying to convince yourself rather than making a coherent argument.

Quote from Zonomar :why would that be?

Because you can't use it until you've got an S2 license, so there's no point, is there?

Quote from WSR :I have read the instructions on the Shopinfo pages too many times already.

Well if you've read the instructions, what more do you expect us to tell you? We can't tell you how long it will take or anything, so... just send the money out already.

By the way, you're paranoid about online bank accounts - that are generally pretty secure - being stolen but you're okay with sending a simple envelope with money in it to the UK? I would think it's much easier for someone to just open the envelope and take the money than it is for someone to steal or hack a bank account

Quote from pik_d :In real life you've got a helmet in your way while we don't in LFS

We do have a helmet "in our way" in LFS, we just don't see it. But the driver does wear a helmet

Is Canada considered U.S. (North America) in the release of products?

Of course, everyone knows Canada is just the US' 51st state

Quote from The Moose :Lets hope that the new tyre model and physics updates move LFS back into the realm of HistorX/nKPro/iRacing for feel, though without significant updates to the FFB and track surfaces i fear it's not going to be even close

Yep, that's what I was thinking, too. Still, better tyre physics is at least a step in the right direction

Quote from The Moose :
..and on a side note.... AWESOME HistorX racing tonight on the FinnglishRacing server That was a complete blast. Roll on next Friday!

Aye, we had a very good turn out yesterday. I didn't really have that much close racing - mainly due to cockups on my part - but I had a great time nonetheless. My girlfriend wasn't so happy that I spent the entire evening on the computer, though, so I'll have to make up for that tonight which means I won't be racing

Oh, and I'm looking forward to a vid of the action between you and Mark, Stu

Quote from Toddshooter :
Sorry to say this here but the HistoriX Mod when set up properly feels way better than LFS. When you come back to LFS it feels dead.

There's no need to be sorry for telling the simple truth, Todd You're absolutely right

Quote from anttt69 :i bought rfactor just for the historix mod & cant find anywhere to race it.

where are the historix leagues/races, who runs them?

LFS - 1 Rfactor - 0

Like I've said many times before, there is almost no online racing to be found for the HistorX mod outside of organized leagues.

There are two leagues running at Raceconnect; the GT League and the TC League. You can check those out if you're interested in some organized racing. I signed up for them a while ago but I found the site and everything else to be so unclear and confusing and I couldn't make it to the server in time because I had no clue which server to look for. rFactor's buggy as **** server browser had a large part in that. I was so frustrated I immediately had my account at RaceConnect cancelled.

Like Gnomie said, someone over at Dead Men Racing runs an event on Friday evenings so we always get together then, although I must say that the turnout for the last couple of weeks hasn't really been all that. Look for the FinnglishRacing server in the server browser on Friday evenings. Or manually enter Finnglish.gotdns.com.

Quote from SparkyDave :Please be more specific! what mod are you talking about ?

Niels one? or the Enduracers? or somthing completely different?

He was talking about the Enduracers mod

Quote from SparkyDave :
Its such a difference from LFS that works in high res almost off the bat, seems to me like with Rfactor+mod you need to know how to adjust every little detail in config files etc, I don't have the time for all this, I just want to race somthing at least partially realistic

Too much effort and expendature for me with little return as yet, still very dissapointed.

SD.

You're absolutely right, there's a shitload of fiddling that you can do to tweak a ton of things, but I gotta say that it worked for me pretty much straight out of the box. It seems that it works well straight away for some people while it doesn't work at all for others

Nothing beats LFS in the pick up and play department, that's a fact

I'd be interested in that shifter as well, depending on how much you want for it. I'd pay for shipping as well since I'm not in the UK.

You should be aware, though, that if you sell the shifter seperately you will probably won't sell the rest of the set as easily.

Quote from beefyman666 :I wasn't using different setups for each track. All I did was change the braking balance and pressure, and stiffen the suspension up a bit. I'm not bright enough to get my head around all the other things so I tend not to mess with them.

Providing i'm still not having problems (damn wireless), i'll be up for some more racing tonight. Be good if more people joined in, the AI aren't much fun.

I usually don't mess around a lot either, but I do always set the gear ratios up properly for each track, to make the most of them. Of course then you have to remember to load the right setup before each track, otherwise you're out of luck

As for racing tonight, I don't know if I can make it. Depends a bit on what my girlfriend is up to, as she can't watch the TV when I'm playing and she does usually watch TV in the evenings. I suppose I could try hooking my Xbox up to my 22" monitor but IMO console games need to be played on a TV Then again it might actually look better on my monitor as my TV isn't HD. Hell, it isn't even a flatscreen.

Quote from Jordan2007 :we dont know where to go..? im with luke and brt900 send a message to brt900 .

Well I sent multiple invites to Luke but he didn't show up

Quote from beefyman666 :Well the two (and a half) races were fun while they lasted. Now my Xbox has decided to play silly buggers and I can't get back online.

Yeah, I thought you were having issues. You kept going offline and then coming back online again and again and again...

The race at Laguna Seca was great, really close finish there For the one at Road Atlanta I had forgotten to load my setup for that track, and the gears were too short as you probably noticed on the straight. It could have been as close as Laguna Seca if I'd loaded the right setup, I think.

Come on, where is everyone? Me and Beefyman have had 2 pretty close races but more people = more fun!

BTW Beefyman, my mic is bust so I can't talk. I think I can hear you though, but I had the volume turned way down.

It's Dajmin I have had you in my list before but deleted you when I was "purging" my friends list. I ended up with 0 contacts, lol I just never play online so that explains.

Quote from beefyman666 :Is it alright to add you both obsolum and Dajmin? Both gamertags are the same as on here right?

Sure, why not
