Quote from SamH :Chuckily, the Barricade protects against wreckers, not racers. There's a difference between someone who tries to drive, and someone who tries to wreck, and server admins are experts at telling the difference. Don't worry about the Barricade.. it's there to help you have a good and safe race

Does the barricade protect against cheaters also? The people that cut the corner every time for example on BL2reverse?

Quote from Mike85 :The AI get faster after 60 laps of a track. So just turn on a AI-only race and let it go for 60 laps. You will see that they become much faster. Its learnable AI. Then I think they are more easier to drive with. At the start they are VERY slow, but they are not always like that.

When you yourself drive a lot of laps you will also become quicker - usually so much that racing the AI is not challenging.

Quote from Modoff :bf1 is fun to drive but not fun to race. Even with evenly matched drivers, equal lap times, the racing isnt close because of the dirty air u get.

So what about wanting to be all Schumacher and stuff!?

Quote from George Kuyumji :Perhaps we could ask Redline Server which runs FOXs to rotate between all three Formula cars? Would be nice to get some Racing going on in the F08 and the F1 car

It'd be nice if happened

Currently we have the possibility to drive:

S1 cars (except the 3 fastest ones) - STCC
FOX - Redline
GTR - conedodgers

Why does everyone say you can't compare the two things. I think anyone who says that has a too fixed mind, especially if the question is "which one is better?".

In economics there is a term utility. It means the benefits you get out of something. There is the utility you get out of LFS and the utility you get out of GPL. How to compare utility? Obviosly, you would be willing to pay more for the thing that provides most benefits=utility for you.

So all it can be boiled down to is: For which one you would be willing to pay more money for? Its like with apples and oranges. Which one is better for you? The one for which you would be willing to pay more money for (It's not really a money-thing. Money here represents everything else you are not buying to buy the apple/orange - the more things u are willing to give up the more valuable it is for you)

I would say I'd be willing to pay at least 20x as much for LFS as for GPL.

What about you?

Quote from HugeF1 :How many "vs" threads am I going to see? This one is the best (most entertaining). Like asking, what's better Fish or sofas?

Sofas.

i think this thread is OK. We do appologise for forcing you to read all of this thread. Had we known that you won't like it we would have written about smth else.

P.S. I'm gonna go with LFS - so much more variety than GPL.

Quote from Jakg :im not being clever at all, im just telling you its VERY easy to contact them, as you could not only PM them here, but also go to their website...

I went and joined their forum. I was not allowed to post anywhere.

How do I PM them here? I did not know that was possible. I posted on the teams forum, as everyone usually suggests - no answer (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=16295)

Quote from XCNuse :it goes in an email to the host/owner of the server

dont take my posts as being rude or incosiderate or mean, im just trying to point out that there is nothing we can do here except maybe give you a link or an email address, so you can contact people,

weee....:banana:finally someone thinks like I do

Quote from XCNuse :
but posting here will only bring in negative comments (as you can see)

which that actually brings up a good point, it should be a requirement for servers to put in an email address incase anything is to occur, which can be viewable at any time either ingame or at LFSW would work

All very true, but still, if it is so easy to hav ethe e-mail address, why no-one shares it?

Quote from Jakg :1. its very easy to contact the admin of Cone Dodgers, actually

If you want to be clever and muck, that's fine. Expect the same from me in the future!


Quote from Jakg :
2. He said he THOUGHT he was right, and that he know understands it was a mistake

So if he gets banned then next time he'll check if his god-like instincts are true.


I don't see how it is OK to unfairly ban the hell out of me - no questions asked, but when I ask someone to be banned for a reason, it is all "hey, it's OK, we don't need to ban"

1) I mean I'm admin banned from Conedodgers server 1 and there is no way to contact the hosts to show them how it is wrong that they banned me.

2) I want MilitantPotato punished for banning me. I don't think it is fair that he (without allowing me to prove otherwise) just convinced everyone to ban me. In court everybody is allowed to prove their innocence. MilitantPotato was not interested at all if I actually could be right, although I told him so. He just wanted to ban me.

Quote from Jakg :there is NO forum for this because this does NOT go here.

You were votebanned, not admin banned (you said so yourself ffs!) and that means its only 1 day, what a long time to wait.

This does NOT go on the forum at ALL

So where does an admin ban go to?

Additionally, I wanted him banned from that server for banning me for no reason! 1 day wait has nothing to do with it!

Quote from XCNuse :it doesn't go in this forum, thats where PLAYLIFE

we dont care about if your banned or not, because there is nothing anyone here can do if you're banned anyway..

Except the host! ("LFS Hosts forum")

Of course, I do apologize that I forced you to read through all this thread and hear me complain. Next time I'll add a freakin disclaimer "don't read if you don't want to". Suppose it is needed for people like you!

Quote from Gunn :Guys, the hosts section of our forum is for discussion about hosting, not about what server you got banned from unfairly or whatever. It isn't about advertising your server either or whatever track or layout you are running. This section was created to help people who want to learn how to get their host up and running, how to run insim apps and other tools etc.

Topics complaining about getting banned from a server do not belong here. In future they will be locked and/or removed.

So where the f*ck do they belong? I get done over on a server and I get dun over here! F*ck you too!

Quote from LFSn00b :+1, if the stockcars are drivable on other tracks!

Nascar Nextel cup races for example are run ONLY on ovals.

One of the most famous ovals:

Quote from TagForce :BTW, the whole idea of a company is to make money (preferably doing what you like), not to make sure other companies still make money. So that's about the silliest reason not to add NASCAR type cars in LFS I've heard so far.

Quote from CodieMorgan :What is the possibility of having a Nascar, SASCAR, SCAR of other form of stock car added to LFS?

It would be nice to also see competitive oval racing in this genre on a couple large tracks!

Just a suggestion... as most Nascar sims seem to have a massive bandwidth requirement and LFS runs just fine on the net!

If we would get those cars, there would be no reason to pay for Nascar sims. So I think this is off!

regarding auto update system.


I get the window "A new update is available", but the mirror links fail to load and it says "did not get update information". Next time I tried, it worked.

Quote from Scawen :Right I've dealt with this on host and guest side.

You are not allowed to join (from escape menu or garage) from the time the lights go green until 12 seconds later.

If any guest succeeds in joining at this time, the host will immediately force them to spectate.

Any guest who has U35 or newer version, won't be able to join at all, their join buttons have a countdown on them : join (12) join (11) etc...

Bueno, Scawen !!

Quote from Scawen :Where can that work out, Becky? On which tracks can you gain by using that method?

I would have thought the pit lane speed limit and its penalties would have stopped that, so I was not aware that could be a problem.

I believe you of course, I just want some examples so I get get my head around a fix.

AS1 with UF1000 is also a possibility. I've done it by accident.
