Quote from Blackout :I agree with Al. I'm not a oval fan myself, and what makes LFS oval racing discusting is that there is no braking in the corners and it's always driven with the fastest car, just for speed, which in my eyes (think what you want people, lets not make this another flamewar) takes no skill. What we need is shorter more challenging ovals, a small stadium type one would be great, and people to use something more fun than the BF1! A very basic car would do it, big chunk of polygons/metal/whatever with V engine and fat slicks

ROAR!

Yes, we need a car that was meant to be raced on the ovals. We also need a ST, SW, and SS oval (a .5 mile one, a 1.5 mile one, and a 2.5 mile one for plates). Each oval has a distinctly different strategy for winning.

Edit: @mike
hehe, it's a sort of poll thing here... Would be boring if everyone always said +1

Quote from CodieMorgan :LOL... thats not what I meant in this suggestion...

I care less on anthems... just the driving part!

The reason on this post is... NR2003 has major lag on 56K..... LFS has 'less' lag on 56k (I joined and finished a 17person race)

I know, and my post was intended to support your suggestion, albeit under a few conditions. For one, we absolutely need full course yellow flags to be implemented along with a working pace-car. Second, we need to have warm-up laps/formation laps. third, we need to have a pit spotter if at all possible. And perhaps most importantly, we need to have different setup options and fully assymmetrical setups.

I'd be all for NASCAR cars and tracks right now, if I knew that all the other stuff would get implemented somewhere along the road to S3, though.

Quote from sinbad :Maybe Starscream isn't in it because he was killed by Galvatron. I'd expect that to be the case if this film is tied into the original film and not the crappy recent TV versions.

Optimus Prime was killed in the original movie, and Galvatron doesn't exist yet in this movie (he's still Megatron). So, yeah, Starscream should be in this movie. He was one of the most popular transformers.

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

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 Forbin :...personalities. I think you two are the same person. I bet your house is right on the border of Netherlands and Belgium. You walk to one side of the house, you're TagForce. The other side, and you're flippy.

Yeah, we are... Makes it doubly impressive that we actually race eachother on the Silver STCC server, doesn't it?

Quote from sgt.flippy :Completely correct at that!

And because I drive behind you on the grid, you feel the urge to stalk me on the forum? You can't keep up with me! (I hope... *goes checking post rate*)

*checked post rate*
HA, you're nowhere near me! ... Reminds me of that race grid again...

LMAO... I'm not stalking you, flippy, but you are the most fun person I've talked to on the forum in a while. We must take care not to go too far off topic or we'll have all our threads locked :hide:

Quote from sgt.flippy :Gina is the woman running it The guy's name is Jos, really typical stuff

You can't find a more typical frietkot

Might as well make my 900th post one that has no meaning whatsoever.

I take it this 'Gina' is not a model? And Jos is not your average beanstalk either.

I really wish some girls would come into this thread and have a little chat. I mean, after all, it is one about them. Then again, that would blow their cover wouldn't it?

Quote from sgt.flippy :There is a french fries dump in my neighbourhood called Gina... Hate it though, nothing good

Why would you give a 'frietkot' a girl's name is what I wonder. Fries + girl != fotomodel

Quote :
And nope, not the same girl

scared me a minute there.

The second best thing in the world, after LFS... women. (and I mean that in the nicest possible way, ladies)

Quote from Blackout :Actually no, you can just drop the font file to the font thingy in the control panel. Sort of quick access to "font folder".

I feel like being picky... Going to the font files, selecting them, and clicking install in the context menu is waayyyyyy quicker than opening the control panel, selecting all your fonts from explorer and then dragging them all the way over to the 'fonts' icon.

Yeah, it's a written test here too, all multiple guess questions, and then a physical driving test of about 25 to 30 minutes.
I passed both on the first try, and I'm sure it's the same everywhere. When you're confident enough and show it you'll pass. I damn near wrecked it on a roundabout because some eeeediot tried to go left from a right turn lane at the last possible second. Luckily I saw him coming and took some evasive action (thanks to LFS for knowing where to look for divebombing morons, examinatrix asked me why I was repeatedly tapping the dash behind the wheel afterwards. Told her the truth: "I was spamming him with "Where'd you learn to drive, you n00b!!!!" messages using the F6 key").

Quote from Bladerunner :awww...couldnt you guys tell when I was tooking the p1$$??

lol... You'd be surprised at how many people are completely clueless when it comes to the uses of a towel, or the origins of the infite improbability drive.

I just took the liberty of making sure you weren't left clueless in the case that you were.

Quote from sgt.flippy :What's her name? She might be the same one

I doubt it... She went to Marist College in Poughkeepsie (which, strangely, is pronounced puhkipsy). Her name was (still is, I guess) Gina.

Now after the Christmas shoppings, I have some money left which I'm going to keep for my speeding tickets

That may be a smart thing... First 2 months I had my license I got 5 speeding tickets. Haven't had any in about a year, now.

Quote from f1r3b4ll :The trailer was very dark and depressing, which makes me think the majority of the darker robots were Decepticons... I know for a fact that brightly coloured sportscar (i think its yellow or orange) is an Autobot

I look forward to this movie so much because i absolutly loved it when i was little - boys and their toys and all that

Mon The Starscream!

I know for a fact that that huge truck that stops and the robot they cut to from above in the next frames is Optimus Prime (the big kahuna of the autobots).
But yeah, all the cars are autobots... Hence the name "Auto"bots. The decepticons are mainly planes and some other weird appliances.

Quote from sgt.flippy :I was talking about the girl I know that needs a license... Not Tiny

It's not in her avatar though, but I got some pics

She'll kill me for saying this, although I wouldn't be surprised if she'd join in on this convo (if she has time these days :s)

lol... You confuzzle me.

How is she going to kill you... It's not like you're anywhere close, is it?
I knew a girl in the US who was in college... She seemed to have plenty time. Of course she was doing some kind of filmmaking course or something or other. Lots of playing around with cool programs, not much of the actual learning important life lessons (apart from the one where she learned about my country and started to try and speak the language).

She's welcome to join in anytime. Anybody is, for that matter

Quote from sgt.flippy :I always wondered if she'd be a real girl...

If she isn't, I wonder who the girl in the pic is, she's cute

You mean the animated girl one? Who cares?
I'm always nice to girls and I'll just race them and have a fun chat with them... There's just the one girl I'd be hitting on if she ever made it to LFS with a username that is known to me... Katherine Legge. (edit: She'll be the one tumbling down the straight after climbing the wall on the Aston Historic config very fast right-hander)

And of course unknown blonde girls whose first post on this forum would be a full bodyshot of themselves in a sexy pose on a hot car.

Are we getting very offtopic now? Nah, we're still talking girls, right?

Quote from Bladerunner :Why did it come up with '42' ???

Because that is the answer to the ultimate question... The question of 'life, the universe, and everything'...

Problem is, now that we have the answer, we need to figure out what exactly the question is.

Look up any sites on the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Must read.

Quote from glyphon :you apparently haven't tried some of the newer transformers...especially those from the Altenator series. The RX8 transformer i think has 35 steps listed in the instructions and i had to follow them to transform it the first time (a first for me), and it took ~15 minutes. now with a bit of practice, i've gotten it down to ~5 minutes.

5 minutes to transform a car into a bloody robot?!

That kind of defeats the whole idea, doesn't it?

Autobots! Transform and defend this outpost! Decepticons, would you be so kind as to go have a coffee while we transform, or are you just going to whoop us while we're somewhere in the middle?

Quote from sgt.flippy :Our little secret (And her boyfriend... now you don't wanna know anymore huh:tilt

Actually, I do... I'm looking for drivers in the near future, and I'd be honored if one of them was a girl. Nothing to do with me wanting any There's this one thing though... She needs to be European, and if I'm thinking in the right direction she's not?

But if you're serious about that license... contact me on PM, I might be able to assist.

Quote from Nard :So yeah, let's divert this thread into how I just turned the quarter-century mark a couple minutes ago.

My resolutions this year:

Stay as clean and civil as possible on LFS servers.

Take steps into getting RL racing courses in the future.

Happy birthday, mate!
