Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

i agree wif you its a great way to relax but those ppl in the cruise server is taking it WAY too serious which totally ruin the meaning of it

How do you know what the meaning of it is?

what!?!? I always have the right front tyre heating up on a track with many left hand corners. I thought that was normal. Easing up on locking tyres under braking is the first thing you can do.

Quote from Turbo Dad :

This is a race car simulator , not GTA or Driver arcade game .
I think it's an embarrassment to LFS to have these cruise servers, They should all be banned , and all the kids can go play on PS2/3

I think you are an embarrassment to the human race (oops, I said "race"... don't get an orgasm!)

maybe they are empty and you have the "no empty servers filter" on?

Welcome to LFS S2, flopster

Quote from Riders Motion :

You stupid, racercar = racrecar it doesn't make sense, it has as much sense as Noitom Sredir... Meh

lol, calling people stupid and being the idiot himself... priceless

Quote from rainspecialist :

m just like u my dad wont pay for s2 he says games are crap and i told him time after time that its a simulator but he just wants me to focus on HW. im trying to get s2 but cant. i wish i could tro. im stuck in demo 4 now. hey couldnt we get a ctra server in the demo for the fbm? that would be awesome!

Look around the internet. LFS has received many awards as the best multiplayer sim, the best sim, etc... in places like Blackholemotorsport and others. Furthermore, tell him it's a simulator not a PS3 game. The emphasis is not on looking pretty but on simulation. I think a grown man could respect that. Third, LFS has 30000 or so purchases and no issues with credit card details theft or anything similar. It's time to stand up and face the 21st century - people make purchases online and it's here to stay.

Show him this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_racing_simulators
and tell him you have done research and it's good. He has done nothing and says it's no good.

Quote from J@tko :

I didn't mean whiny - I was reading about Alonso ATT!

I mean cheating or unsportsmanlike.

Want me to go through these?
Jerez '97
Adelaide '95
Monaco '05 and '06 e.t.c

just stick to the topic and it'll be fine

Quote from J@tko :

Now I think that Schumacher is a whiny bastard, but that performance at the Spanish GP, 1994, was astonishing (as was his engine!)

Yeah like when has MS whined!?

Quote from BlueFlame :

LOL most people seem to think it was Silverstone anyway.... so you're TWICE as wrong

I don't get what you are saying but I just checked F1 decade vids and it's definitely Catalunya 1994. Herbert won in Silverstone in 1995 in a Benetton car when Hill took MS out...

Quote from Fischfix :

not many comments of "oval experts" here

another main rule in oval racing: keep your line

in other news : I love guys who change their line whilst braking - acme-insta-rear-end

Quote from Drunken Predator :

Its possibly rather pointless to flame and handbag around forum of some racing incidents happened on public server..

Yes, but much of forum discussion is pointless. Vast majority of all forum posts are useless garbage that contributes to nothing really...

Quote from ajp71 :

His fault, deliberately moving across like that off the start line is stupidly risky. He knew you were there and obviously hoped you'd back out, but quite rightly you didn't. You shouldn't be pulling across on a car on a straight if there's any overlap (not just significant overlap) and off the start line requires even more restraint.

Unfortunately you've been the victim of a typical bad bit of driving by a team member who's blamed it on you and you've been banned by people who didn't see the incident in question. As a general rule ignore the servers that are worst at that and at very least ensure you argue your case in a constructive way and get people to look at a replay. Anybody who votes to kick or ban a user for anything other than blatant wrecking or abusive behaviour from the drivers seat ought to be shot IMO

...and next time a thread like this comes up please at least slow the naming and shaming process down by not having names on the screenshots...

I never get what's wrong with the naming and shaming. Someone's being an a-hole and god forbid I should say his name? Or are they afraid it will just get out of hand?

Quote from wheel4hummer :

It's their server... they can ban you for using a certain color in your nickname for all I care!

It's not their server. They were just racing there.

I say you ban that guy from the server. If he is so happy to ban someone for an accident he mostly guilty in then he should eat his own medicine. And make the ban count. Not some 24 hours or smth. Make him think twice next time.

His fault. He had reason to suspect you were there. If he was using pitspotter like he should have then he would have known 100% you were there. It would be normal for him to allow you that room if there is reasonable doubt you are there and just draft you down the next straight. Mistakes happen. But banning you is just low. Additionally, admins making decisions in the heat of the moment of an accident they are involved in without looking at footage is plain wrong.

EDIT: Ok, as I understand they were not admins. However, the last statement still stands as it has happened to me a couple of times. It just does not apply in this case

saying sorry midrace prevents road rage

Aren't those cars supposed to be balanced already?

Anyone got a set where all the GTR cars are equal (the three faster cars are slowed down)?

Quote from JTbo :

Ok, here is proof:


So that proof how stubborn cruisers are, it says serious racing simulator, it does not say car game where it is fun to cruise

How can you then except such drivers to race any good when their skull is too thick to get that hint which greets them at LFS front page (The racing simulator)?
Certainly they have to be quite thick headed to not understand that game is about racing?

Btw, I don't care what category I belong (or you put me), I just am what I am, so if I'm racing nazi, then I am

:clapclap:

I'd reply but I'm not up for writing two pages of text on how you start arguing for one thing and then start talking about smth completely different, your following argumentation is based on assumptions, no proof and some facts that do not fit in at all... but you make some very loose assumptions in order to tie those things in and make them "proof"... Don't become a lawyer when you grow up. Oh and, look up nazism in a dictionary.

I'm off...

That's not even close to being a good enough reason to making fun of someone.

EDIT:

And btw, your argument is based on personal opinion and not a shread of evidence. It might well be that there is a variation in the occurance of certain events that you are simply translating in a way that fits your ideology.

Quote from JTbo :

Today it is hard to find good racing as 'it is just a game' attitude is so widespread because of these cruising servers.

That's just ballony. I've been around LFS for a long time and have not witnessed such a tendency.

Quote from niall09 :

You're a fag

I wasnt being serious

Oh gee whizz, you made fund of someone and they insulted you back. Some people are cruel, aren't they!?

Oh and you weren't being serious when you said:

Quote from niall09 :

Oh sorry.


I have a good suggestion:
1. Harass people on the street
2. When they ring the police, get out your mobile phone
3. Turn on the sound recorder
4. Run away
5. Put the sound onto your computer and set it as HORN5

You really weren't being serious? Really-really not serious?? You mean it wasn't a serious suggestion for me to go "Harass people n the street"? Oh, OK, now everything is fine. Idiot.

Quote from JTbo :

Cruise is not enough of reason?

The time of making fun of people because they are different from you is not "in" anymore. Too bad you weren't born a farm owner 200 years ago in the US. There you could have frowned upon afros just because they were black.

Or maybe you would elaborate why it is fine to make fun of people because they use the cruise server? I'd like to hear a real argument please. Oh wait, you don't have one, do you. Are they harming you in any way? Or you just don't like them because they are different from you? You are a genuine racing nazi, is what you are.

Quote from Callous Hooper :

You can download the HORN5.rar from Here

TY

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think someone must've pissed on his chips.

I don't get how some people think that it is OK to try to humiliate someone without any reason. I am fine with jokes, pun, sarcasm if the point is fun. However, if your only point could obviously be to make fun at other peoples expense then that's not what I think is right. I came here to talk about LFS and things connected to it. I did not expect to meet 8th grade bullies.

I also don't see how the mods can allow such activity without any problem. "Oh so they decided to humiliate a few people, make fun of them... well, that's alright by us, carry on chaps"... pfff

Quote from spankmeyer :

How about this one?

I gotta admit, someone asks for an audio file with a siren and you send a link to a police website... that's just brilliant. No, I mean really, that's the joke of the century right here. I bet everyone will come here and laugh their arses off.


But of course, spankmeyer made an even funnier joke. He went mother-f*ckin international with it.

And then of course there is this drivel :

Stop the voting for the funniest forum persona, cos niall09 is our guy!!!

On second thought... Were you drunk writting this? Cos this ain't even funny when hell freezes over. And for all you "make fun of other people because of no good reason" I hope a new years rocket kills your mother!!!

Quote from RacerAsh3 :

You need to download a siren, and place it in Horn 5 for cruise servers.

Anyone got a link to a siren?
