The duke is quick no doubt but Stoner took Rossi on alot of the twisty stuff ,Rossi was trying his heart out and out braking Casey but running wide in the process.

Its a tough time for me in MotoGp, i have been a staunch Rossi fan since 125's and i,m a Stoner fan too, i feel so torn

Sometimes i have to wonder if everyone was watching the same race..

Personally i think one of the most ridiculous ideas is the Honda Earth Dream, for Christs sakes how does Honda make ppl swallow that load of shite, be more worried about the caning the atmosphere gets building bloody cars than running them.
Dirty old coal fired electricity plants used to power everything is way way worse than the effects of the entire racing on the planet ( assumption no real testing)

Always laugh at hybrid or electric cars where and how is the power generated to charge them up , yes folks thats right dirty old mega polluting coal or at the very best enviro killing hydro electric plants...

Guys like that author should pull his head out of his arse and take a better look at things...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes. Wind tunnel figures are OFTEN (over 70% of the time) wildly different from what happens on track, especially in transient conditions. Read many many interviews over the last @6 years to see this trend. If the data is no good (mostly) from wind tunnels against CFD against reality, then why should a simulator (that costs a lot less than a wind tunnel, and probably includes a $30m car in it) suddenly be realistic in real time (CFD is not real time, and wind tunnels are largely non-transient.

As for the tyre data, why do the teams get caught out with graining. With wear. With pressures. How did Michelin make a 'wrong' tyre for Indy? Why, when testing tyres, to Bridgestone use either real cars or rigs with real tyres against moving 'tarmac' (wheel equiv of a wind tunnel)? Because simulations are lousy at being realistic.

Now, if you were trying to improve two/four of the best drivers in the world, using the 'best', most technologically advanced cars, on the most over analysed tyres in the world, to gain perhap 0.05 seconds per minute (0.08% improvement), would YOU be happy using at best 95% accurate data? Do you think you are likely to split the atom using a hammer and chisel?

Bloody Australians. What have they ever done for us. (this is HUMOUR. Watch Holy Grail [Monty Python] if you don't understand it)

The Aquaduct, Roads, Public Health, Schools....

F__cking Britains Splitters!

MotoGp for pure racing it cant be beat
F1, the goings on are often more entertaining than the racing and i love the technology

V8SC is great racing too unfortunately Holden are dominating the series atm.

Porsche Cup is fantastic racing , always lots of overtaking and desperate overtaking too

We have a class in Australia (probably elsewhere too) called Aussie Legends there 1/2 size cars with FJ1100 bike engines and there super entertainment.

sorry for being offtopic...

...but @richo I think you should change your avatar, shouldn't you?

Its rubbishing EA not supporting Nazi's i think anyone with a drop of common sense could appreciate the humour...

I guess each to his own personally i think its bloody funny

OT: I haven't seen any real breakthroughs in all of the simbin/blimey/isi related games there all so similar to that old sports car mod based on F1 Challenge or whatever it was from memory, i would prefer the LFS way rather than putting new clothes on a tired old dog every year or so..

The only sim they have released that has some character is GTL but it still feels like the cars pivot around the center rather than on four axis ( you know what i mean)

So back OT yer keep doing your thing Scavier your way as your product imho is better than any current sim atm...

I have to ask a silly question, unless these ppl are ppl you associate with how would they know your skin colour? or religious persuasion or anything for that matter?

The one aspect of the internet ive always enjoyed is that racism and the other isms rarely happen unless you know the other people, lets face were all colorless on the interwebby..

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Tbh, Hamilton needs to whine less and take his head out of his arse. The 'monkeys' comment he made in the ITV interview and then all this crying makes him look the rookie he is. McLaren made the only call that was the right call, and Hamilton's comments on it were pretty careless. I dare say the team orders weren't 'let Alonso win' but more of the order 'the one who's in front after the last pitstops stays in front'. I.e., if Alonso had screwed up in the 2nd stint and ended up behind Hamilton after both had made their final pirstops, we would not have seen Alonso overtake Hamilton even if the former was able to catch up. I don't think Alonso would have made such comments, and portrayed himself as a 'victim' of some sorts.

Damn straight some drivers go there entire career without the streak he is having atm (yes he is very good and in the best car of the season)..

I,m keen for a nostalgia class seeing we are talking out loud , If only LFS and GTL could make sweet love and give me a child of the two (LFS on the inside of course) withb GTL,S pretty face...

anyways back to reality...

Quote from Hankstar :

Twice! Glutton for punishment?

I've just got the one wife and she still likes me - but then it's only been 12 months, give her time and she'll drop me like a handful of bull ants

16years for the first one only for her to leave for another dude, and second i,m marrying later this year after living with her for a couple of years..


16yrs, if i had killed her earlier i would have got out of prison about now, minus my anus of course

(thats a joke before everyone jumps in)

NOPE! Hankstar ive been married twice thats enough for me atm

You need to find a girl mate

Jesus we must be bored of S2 if this Poll fiasco is anything to go by, why get bent out of shape about non existent cars that we will never see (imho)?

The passion shown in this thread is awesome just needs to be pointed in a better direction (no i dont know what that may be )

Devs please oh please give us some genuinely new content before everyone goes nuts and it all goes postal

Remember its the Interwebby thing you can be 8ft tall and built like Hulk Hogan and no one will know the difference if you are or not

Just race so what if a few guys cry a little they will get over it , the tracks for everyone not just a select few..

Quote from sam1600 :

Go back to being the pinnacle of motorsport? What has replaced it?

MotoGp or Superbikes for quality racing

I love F1 but man its a wicked sedative, what i love most about is the technical innovation and personally there should be less restrictions on what they can and cant do.

**** the money,whats another 100 million

You know there are so many series that cater to the control tyre, control chassis, control engine etc etc its the las thing F1 should be ,every one understands that to get into F1 is exorbitantly expensive its a given so why try and penny pinch?

for my mind F1 should go back to being the pinnacle of Motorsport and should adopt an anything goes attitude (as long as its safe) and go hell for leather on making new and weird technologies .

If i wanted to watch control type cars theres plenty of other series out there...

44
Still feel like 15 though (except the wife and three kids and my own business part)

I have to wonder if the project has become too daunting, i realise quality takes time but jesus this is taking some time.

I,m 44 this year, im thinking if i will be too old to care or to drive LFS S3, or there wont be anyone still around to drive against?

I hate being a downer about the length of time its taking and i totally understand how big a deal this must be for two guys ,maybe just maybe its time to let others help out with the precious...

ps: even if eric's modem is two cans on a string it takes no time and bugger all energy to post a few lines to keep the faithfull informed..

Quote from indy47 :

it not spam a question of matter

sigh..

You know this reminds me so much of my kids asking when dinner is ready, when its done and theres sweet f.a that will change that.

Its ready when its ready and thats about that, this endless speculation gets kind of dull.I would love to see new stuff in the sim i really would and we will get it when we get it

That sounds like an idea, although it can get pretty sweaty for her to drive around in a little latex number all day..

Is Eric still on the scene?

It very much appears its a one man show these days, im probably wrong.

Quote from danowat :

It's people like you, and the rest of the LFS zealots, that can't see the wood for the trees, that I think are half the problem with LFS.

Yes, LFS is good, Yes, LFS is the best sim there is, so what?, this does not and should not mean that LFS shouldn't be progressing faster, it should.

Maybe I have had enough of LFS, and all the mindless, clueless yesmen and zealots that chime up everytime anyone says a bad word against there sim, maybe I need to disapear for a few months.

Little things annoy me, like the generic dashboards, why?, its crazy, why does a car like the FZ GTR have the same dashboard instruments as the UF1?, mental, little touches like that can make or break the immersion for me, and LFS just ain't doing it for me anymore.

How did you come up with the yes man angle?

I think LFS is taking way too long to advance ,the point i was making is that reading an endless stream of crap would not inspire me to work harder or produce anything any faster.

Quite the opposite infact.

If i were Scawen reading this dribble id say **** it all and learn how to play golf tbh.....

And as far as i can see its a one man show (is eric real ?) ,victor wasnt involved with any coding yer?

If you want fast development and a constant string of bling updates your at the wrong address , development will happen at its own pace and theres sweet F.A any of us can do about that, i have Rtractor and most of the millions of mods and most look and sound fantastic yet play like complete shite.

Il stick with LFS thanks..

To be finished, so this endless speculation is a thing of the past..

I do support your right to post threads like these though.

Oh and carbon fibre wide body body kits with roof scoops and alot of decals and nos and 23" rims with spinners and and and and and ......

Godbless LFS for keeping that shit behinds EA,s doors
