As he said, you can quite easily get those air pockets out with a sturdy plastic card, just slowly move them towards the outside.
There will always be cheap idiots destroying such nice bundles for everybody, decided to go with 15$ because I feel like the games are easily worth that amount.
Why not have a best of both worlds?
There is no need to stop grouping stuff in Stages, but why not let those who are willing to pay upfront for content be able to do so? I don't think it would make it any more messy then what we have already, if you buy S1 now you can't drive a lot of the content that is played online and the situation will be the same once S3 is out, there will be a lot of S2 licensed people not being able to play whatever content there will be in S3.

Micropayments?
Discuss!
Well ok at least some words: I think it would be an "easy" solution for the devs to make some additional money with demo racers getting bored and maybe buying a new car or track to have fun on, same with S1 users so they can access a bit more content. It would also make it a lot easier to just throw some new content out every once in a while, with the system we got right now they're always forced to group something together in big enough packs to warrant S3/S4 and so fort.
Downsides would be more work on the license side, I could imagine it would be a bit harder to make sure people do not drive with content they shouldn't be allowed to access, other then that I don't see a reason why this shouldn't be an option. We already got it on lfsworld with skinslots and HQ skins so why not expand it.

Sorry had no time to do some proper testing yesterday, now got some in and I think 50kg for the xrg is a good place to start. If you intend to try that it would be nice if you could wipe your airio stats just so you get some proper numbers to compare. With this the xrg is ultimately still a bit faster I'd say but it should be a lot easier for the xfg to keep up on the faster tracks while actually being able to overtake xrg's on slower tracks after the bad start it will be having.
And why is that if you don't mind me asking? I do think it makes a lot more sense to work with weight on such low powered cars, it will make the braking zone a bit longer for the xrg, which is a good thing because it's so much better on the brakes with it's abs, while not killing it's top speed and grunt out of the corners too much so it still has a fighting chance on tracks with slow to mid fastish corners. Tyre wear/heat isn't really a problem too since the xrg is pretty well balanced.

While I don't agree on the 2% restriction saying that xrg and xfg are as fast on most tracks isn't true. xrg is faster on almost any track, but I do think that they're better off if you balance it with extra weight, the xrg just needs to be a bit slower midcorner and on acceleration.
Is it just me or is the stream cutting out all the time for anybody else too?
Make sure you got no unnecessary canned effects turned on in the profiler.
Usually these are told to be good for lfs:
Options -> Global Device Settings
Overall Effects: something over 100% (102-107% should be plenty)
Spring Effect: 0%
Damper Effect: 0%
Enable Centering Spring Tickbox: On
Centering Spring Strength: 0%
Report Combined Pedals Tickbox: Off
Degrees of Rotation: 720° (Or whatever you like, 900° isn't really needed since the max for LFS is 720)

I would disagree on that. The people are still there you see that on signups for other leagues, it's just harder to get them out and driving, especially now in the summer months. While throwing together a signup and some informations a few weeks before the event would've been enough a few years ago, it just doesn't cut it any more today.
Well, if you're realistic, the organisation for this years 16 hours was pretty rushed (to put it nicely), at least it seemed that way from my perspective. I would think that is the main reason for the low attention it got...
Because they're Germans!
I'm the first to point fingers at people singing up for a league in full knowledge of the calendar and their own schedule, if you know you wont be there after round 1 or 2 then don't sign up. But it's too easy just blaming that, we had that happen in LFS' heyday already and still managed to get the league finished with 25+ racers.
I do think you see that the big healthy core of mediumish fast league racers is missing, those are the people that will make a league a success, yes you need the aliens for competition sake and to attract other aliens but those are not the guys making a league strive, it's the lot that is driving around in 10th to 20th position still having a blast even though they're not racing for the win but just because it's fun having good racing in a controlled environment, those are the people that will come back no matter the position they end up in.
And here is where you probably need to put some of the blame to organizers too, all I see these days is prequalifying for high attendance leagues with a 32 slot maximum. That is forcing the issue we got to an extend, if you got 50 sign ups and 30 of them are "medium to fast aliens" why should the midfielder even try to PQ, he is fully aware that he will be missing at least 2 or 3 rounds when attendance is still high and then is welcome to pick up the scraps after the initial hype drops.
Maybe it's worth looking at leagues that still work after countless of years. Take the cityliga for example, the German community is in a limbo state since years but still they manage to get 60+ sign ups every year on a 3 server grid, because they try to cater to fast, medium and "slow" people, everybody is welcome to have some fun and take part in the complete season no matter where they end up qualifying. If attendance drops the grid gets filled with people from the second and third server. Even though not everything is perfect there, it is a system that still works up to today.
edit: Some good points from PMD too, although I would've liked to see them in a proper sentence.
With the ddos problems we had and sites taken for granted dying a painful death, a drop of commitment (from racers and organizers) is sadly to be expected.

Why must it always be this or that Sim? I don't think you need to "commit" to any single one, just play what you like who cares which combination of Sims you prefer.
I doubt Assetto will be very feature complete when it comes out anyway, there is stuff we got in LFS that is missing in other Sims and we miss stuff in LFS that other Sims got since Day 1. Thats just the way it is, you will never find the perfect one that can do it all. To answer your question, no I don't think I will remove LFS from my hard disk any time soon, it just does too many things right to get rid of it, even with all it's shortcomings.

Is it, I thought that was just the GP track? I don't think the laser scanned Nordschleife exists.
That wasn't confirmed anywhere, the ring was spotted on gamescom but I very much doubt it's laser scanned. Also no mention of it since.
According to swiss news Sauber is on the brink of bankruptcy, they're a couple of million Swiss Franks in debt and are now being officially prosecuted for 1.2 Million CHF by a group of creditors.
Peter Sauber was on Swiss TV on sunday explaining that sallary is still being paid but money for daily operations is drying up quickly, they would have updates for the cars ready in theory but can't afford to produce them. He also mentioned that they're in talks with some big sponsors (rumour is gazprom) and may be able to announce something in the next few weeks.
There's also rumours that Hulk already cancelled his Contract but keeps driving for Sauber because he would have no drive otherwise.
Not looking good.

Last rumours point to september-october release, price tag about 40-45€, we should get preorder infos soon (you get free dlc if you preorder).
As of yet confirmed car and track list: http://www.racedepartment.com/ ... car-and-track-list.52638/

Only thing I could think of that you may be missing write access to some of the lfs config files maybe? Where did you install LFS to, you sure LFS can actually save it's files?
Set "Lock" to yes in Options -> Controls -> Axes / FF
edit: After you properly calibrated the controls that is.
