Quote from Hyperactive :

I'm sorry to say this but imho it sounds bad, even worse than it did. Accelerating the UFR from a standstill for example. And all the cars sound way too similar... I'm all for the gearbox sound whines but it just doesn't sound good. A moped is what I hear with U32.

What LFS sounds lack before this patch and after it is the engine tone on the higher revs. It lacks all the exciting noise that makes an engine sound an engine.

Sorry, I'm sticking whit the U version, (or the U30). I kndly ask you to work little more with the sound, please

Was coming here to post exactly that Hyper. Agree with you fully... yes the gear whine is nice, but the rest is just (sorry) nonsense. The BF1 is worst of all... to be honest Im a little disappointed that this BF1 sound is even approved and released... I had a little more faith in devs and bèta testers. This is not even close to the Forti Corse V8 F1 we've seen on track ages ago...
What the cars need (in my opinion, and no I don't say I can do this myself) is a powerful, aggressive sound. High pitched, screaming kind of sounds... not the low buzzing and humming as it is now... I want the feeling that Im actually going FAST, sense of speed is missing.

Maybe it is something to get used to, but damn, what a pity, Im truely dissapointed.

Really happy with this win actually!
Race was ok, although it was a true shame not many people showed up for the season's final

I had a great fight with Niki for a couple of laps until he crashed in the last turn and I had a comfortable couple of seconds lead... rest of the race was trying to keep focussed and make no mistakes. Didn't really work though, I had a very variable pace with a mistake in almost every lap but Niki seemed to have even bigger problems than that (damage?) and I managed to keep the lead until the finish line.

I'm very happy with the second place in the overall standings and already looking forward to season 2 (if I manage to get in anyway). Again, congratulations to Niki for the championship win and thanks to all racers and especially the admins for a fun season of racing.

I still think that with a more dynamic www.liveforspeed.net (combine it with LFS World or LFS News, or something) we can easily avoid these kind of threads being created every time......

I'll be there

Awesome video, shame there isn't one for us lowly division 2 drivers

Yeah Dan, I'm sorry about that... I had been thinking of making a div2 vid too, but it's so damn time consuming...!

Hope Davo can make something!

Hahah LFS virus installed! Join the club mate :p

Like the French pronounce 'bouvier'. That's the way I pronounce it

Yep, same here!

Sorry Flippy

To be honest we've already made a schedule taking the 10.00h UTC start time into account. I vote for no change.

Quote from Davo :

Those are exactly all the reasons why a longer race is more fun Preparation.

Sorry, that I don't understand? You need preparation for short races as well? Only the race-strategy part is missing in shorter races...

Quote from nikimere :

but would you not prefere a league that is "all equal" rather than a "he who tests more shall be quicker"?

That's exactly where we disagree Like I said, I prefer the opposite, I'd rather see well prepared racers on a thursday night. Think that adds to the professionalism of a racing league and results in a higher level of races.

Quote from nikimere :

i think then you would see who the real drivers are
its just a solution to make a more level playing field

I don't think you can just take that as being a solution for levelling. Maybe all the "less gods" practised their ass off during last season and therefore made the field pretty much levelled, which would mean that in the system you're proposing, those drivers that wouldn't have a chance at all!

Quote from danowat :

I quite like that idea

To be honest I don't really like that idea, at least not for a league.
In my opinion one of the most important and fun parts of league racing is to spend time:
- finding a good setup
- calculating a good strategy
- practising to get a good race pace and / or fast qualifying laptime

If you don't have time for that (which often happens to myself too) you should either not join a league, or face the consequences and be happy with a lower classification, being pwned by the guys that did put effort in their preparations!

That's just my opinion though

Quote from Davo :

I don't understand why you hotlappers don't like endurance races and want short demo style 5 laps races :P

Quote from nikimere :

It's so boring driving around on your own for 40mins+ when your not battling with anyone.

Quote from Davo :

One long feature race in the season, e.g 3 hour with a driver swap, minimum 2 drivers atleast 1 hour each.

A definite -1 for that from me too!

For me the start time is perfect as it was this season. I also liked the format (10 min. q and 2 short races) very much, in fact I wouldn't want to change anything about the format!! Season length was perfect and the track choice was too... (please don't pick insanely long tracks for next season! ) I also liked the top10 reversed grid, which made for some very good races.

Also, I like the idea of doing only one division, although I'm afraid that might cost me my spot in this league... it's easier for adminning and easier to run the backup drivers system...

So not much to comment, I've enjoyed first season, keep it up

Wow, thank you all for your very kind comments!

After Sam's comment about the vid almost making him buy another license (:tilt, I decided to put the vid online on Google Video and YouTube for promotional purposes (although I didn't mention LFS anywhere in the vid, doh ).

So for those who are too lazy to download the hi-res file I've added the links to the online movies to the first post!

Sick of people overusing caps lock in title threads.

Quote from racemania :

is that LFS on the screens?

Sure is

Wow, love the way you set it up... some brilliant coding work again! Like the idea as well!
Will there be something like a deadline for corners to get their official names? We should make that a global feastday and baptize every corner individually!

Added preview images and another download mirror in the first post.

Thanks very much for all the nice comments!!

Hehehe that indeed sounds like great fun! More info please!
I might want to use this for a fun night with the team or something!
