allready discussed to death this ppl. 2 considerations:
Not leaving behind lowend pcs (accessibility of lfs)
Bandwith of the lfs own and unique distribution system
Can already imagine the comments about the pits in/out stutter with 2048 skins. You ppl seem to fail to see that NONE of those other titles use an online share system of skins.
Why immediately faster cars. How about first testing the known cars on the new tracks. I recommend the CTRA servers for that as they will come back next month probably. Here a sort of career mode is provided with gradually moving to better cars and getting a lot of racing under your belt. Also the track rotation i find a big plus.
Its confusing i know but you had to change the 0 to 2. Then it had taken those from you raccount as you would have wanted. The correcy thing would have been that the system would have alerted you that you were paying too little for S2.
