Y'know... If I go online and find six servers that are either running GTRs at AS3 or FOX at BL1, I have the freedom to ignore them and race on the servers with decent combos and 1-2 other players.

Welcome to my world for the last two years.

I used to drive keyboard for over a year, so you'll get no sympathy from me

Quote from Becky Rose :

I ENJOY racing in T-bar view. I find it more immersive, probably only because of television but regardless of why I like it. Regarding what real F1 drivers have i'll say this much, I bet their mirrors - no matter how puny - are actually within their field of view!

I used to only ever race in cockpit in LFS until I tried T bar view, now I have custom views for all my cars. FXR is a roof cam for oval racing, my single seaters are all tbar, the tbo's I race from a point just behind the dashboard that exagerates the movements of the car (as the dash is so close) and helps me connect with it easier.

I care about Immersion, I am really not fussed about looking at an empty screen with a tiny viewport in the middle. If I wanted to play GTR2 I would.

So, from a personal perspective, I dont like the cockpit view. I find it far less immersive and makes the game less enjoyable to play, I find I cannot feel how the car is behaving as well as I can from my custom views.

So really, the whole forced cockpits thing isnt something I like and I cant see any benefit to having it enabled other than die hard LFS'rs who feel that use of 'arcade views' belittles their precious game.

I do understand the need for it in autoX, but I hope that other servers dont implement this option.

Hear-Hear!

Do you ever step back from a situation and realize that you're prematurely reacting (overreacting) to something? Give it a week or two to see how things play out. If it goes badly, I have little doubt that it will be tailored to suit the community.

We've all gotten the fact that you're vehemently opposed to this change. No need to continue spamming that fact.

Yeah, how would you feel if I told you that Scawen just implemented the option for servers to force GTA1 type view AND 68% of all racers are voting that everybody be forced to use this view. Suddenly you see a very big chance the only game you play might change totally to a different type and you don't want it to. DAMN RIGHT YOU WOULD FEEL UPSET AND WORRIED. You'd be shooting out ten posts a day in this thread.

Quote from AK-Chester :

No one forces you to join a server that uses forced cockpit view (if you should find any, that is).

That's 100% correct. If there is 6 servers that are using forced cockpit view, I always have the freedom to ignore them and go race on the servers with 1-2 other players.

What all you guys are demanding is that since you think that your view is so uber realistic, that is the only view that you want to use. But since others are using a custom view, they "might" get an advantage over you and thus, 30% of all racers must drive the view you like.

Basically what this means is that you don't want to use the cockpit view and you want to stop everyone else from using it. That's pretty arrogant and self-centered.

This "you can go to another server, if you want" is total BS and you all know it. We only have 5-6 servers with normal amount of cars running.

I got very tire a few times after playing - then I realised my car was bottoming out all the time and creating supervibrations of the car on the screen, which lead to me getting tired.

Quote from Crazy Harry :

Totally agree. Thats why I use chase view, can´t get any kind of feeling in a static cockpit view.

same here, although, I use the hood view caos that's how you see it in real life.

Quote from aoun :

Now seeing some of the LFS rules, ill let it go, hes only done it 2 me wat 3-4 times??

If he does it again, ill send in afew MPR's i got..

I dont mind racism copping for fun, a jokes a joke, but not when they do it to bug you and try to get to ya..

If I were you, I wouldn't hold back the replay files. One of the things I've learned in life is that ****s do not need a second chance. Once an **** - always an ****. If he has done it 3-4 times, he will do it the rest 1000 times also, if just given a chance. Why continue leting him ruin it for you and others!?

Btw, so he is Australian aboriginal that he suggest people to move back where they came from?

Quote from Tweaker :

I am not trolling, what other comments might I have on this subject than exactly what I had posted earlier. Ferrari are punks for losing, and they ALWAYS go and blame something out of ordinary in the team for their cars being slow. If this is true, then count my comment out, but the Ferraris aren't completely off the pace, they are still going quite fast. And any competitors being faster than Ferrari at a few GPs is nothing new, so why does it magically have to be these few last GPs that some dude sabotages their fuel :rolleyes:.

THERE is your nonsense genius.

You probably come up with the same excuses yourself when playing online in LFS... everyone does. "Oh it is my setup, anyone have a faster setup?" ---or--- "I am tired, goodbye" (essentially meaning I don't like losing, this sucks). "My dog hit my brake pedal" :doh:

Oh yes, that's right, you got it. I am frequently heared of making excuses for my driving I constantly worry about my laptimes try to make sense of it all. It must be the setup, it must be... Nooot!! illepall Keep up the fantasies

Quote from DeKo :

Makes no sense, however.

Now, as far as i can tell, everybody and their dog is claiming that stepney has sabotaged the ferrari's by adding some sort of white powder into the fuel tank. However, this makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

"Since the mysterious powder was discovered, the Ferrari team’s performance has fallen in the past three grands prix."

Is it just me that thinks the white powder was actually some sort of performance enhancer? Obviously if the powder was found, all the parts would be replaced and stuff, so why has performance Dropped!?. Seems to me like ferrari got caught out cheating and are using stepney as a fall guy.

It's funny what the only other logical explanation you could think of was. I'm sure even Ferrari are less mischievous than you.

Quote from BenjiMC :

WOW!... that second version is teh shex!

Unlike your taste.

I don't get the big deal here. Just transfer the winners £24 and that settles it.

Quote from Tweaker :

Ferrari just can't take the pain of losing, so they blame this guy :doh:

Tweaker doesn't have everything in order up there so he thinks up nonsense and posts it on the forum :doh:


:feedtroll

ask your question

He sure does come off driving like an ass, but he is not. It appears to me he is doing everything in good faith. And the guy who he "pushed off" was on the outside. When you are on the outside you should be prepared to be driven off the road - even CRC rules allowed it as normal racing practice.

Just an unfortunate amount of incidents during a 1,5 lap period. Mind you that he is helluva lot faster than everybody so no wonder they get in the way.

Quote from g7usl :

How do these guys in multiplayer, manage it?

Whenever I attempt it, usually on a straight, I find I am all over the road when my eyes go back to the job in hand!

Is there a way to program different remarks apart from the normal 'Good Race' and 'Good Pass'?

same here.

go to options and change there

I've also had trouble with that. By the time I realise which track it is, change car, find the setup etc., it's just waaay too late.

Quote from The General Lee :

"know" not "knew"

To disable vote kick/ban was a new feature in patch X iirc.

That's funny, I seem to recall kick and ban being forbidden on a server quite a long time ago

Quote from MyBoss :

Just a request. Can you do it so people can't join in mid race?

I know its just for people that have just joined the server, but annyway.

I think there is a server side option "no mid race join". However, ur not gonna fget much customers ehen there is a 10 lap race. Very few are gonna wait for it.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

PLAYLIFE please read my avatar, then go screw yourself. These situations are always caused by people like you. Just remember, we were all noobs at one point, and sometimes noobs need encouragement.

What "situations" ?

Quote from danowat :

while in the same context is isn't the same thing, we basically put ourselves in the path of danger in pretty much everything we do in life, why not do it doing something you love?

Playlife, do you ride a bike?, I would hazard a guess no, you would be amazed at how many non-bikers tell me what I do is soooooo dangerous and I shouldn't be doing it

how is that a counterargument?

Whats an emo?

I'm not trying to be mean. It was not intended as a bad comment. Not everybody is out to get you.
