Right...I have to say that whole Europe just went on more difficult complexity... Absolute no idea what to do next ( other than stopping the war and saving both Ukrainians and Russians ). Next 168 hours will give us at least somekind of mental impact.

Russia is becoming North-Korea II... Every political move now gives an impact... Every single one!

EDIT: Yea I know, this is more on off topic, but it does take effect on Ukraine and Russia itself too.

Quote from mrwallace888 :

As a bit of a side note, it's kind of funny seeing how all of you guys are discussing this. Both with providing facts and also being civil. As an American, things are hell here, and the way they're fearmongering and twisting things on the media here. Especially on FOX News, too. It seems like a lot of Americans, for whatever reason, are supportive more of the Russians than the Ukrainians. Like I just look at the facts and look at proper sources and have civil discussions, but with Americans they get all pissed off about everything and turn a blind eye. I was talking to someone the other day about the situation and he was going off for like an hour about how shitty Ukraine was and how much they deserved all this with how horribly they treated Russia, and I was just like "What the hell are you even on about?"

I saw a video the other day where a guy was just driving on the road. A Russian tank went out of his way to veer into him and crush the car for no reason. The guy was alive, thankfully, but that's literally a war crime, maybe two. Because intentionally killing a civilian (or trying to) and unnecessarily destroying civilian property are both considered war crimes.

What I think a lot of people, especially Americans, fail to realize sometimes is that not everything is just pure politics. Like this whole Russia V. Ukraine thing. It's less about your political views and more about what's truly at stake. Like it doesn't matter, for example, if you're left-wing or right-wing, because murder is still murder in the end, and murder is wrong. Killing a civilian is still killing a civilian, and killing civilians are wrong.

I just hope things in Ukraine get better. I've been talking to a lot of Ukrainians and they're bloody terrified. But the Russians are, too. I've seen Russian soldiers who are against this, yet they don't really have much of a choice. And with the US starting to get involved, as well as possibly other countries, this may end up becoming World War III, or at least a much bigger conflict than what was originally started.

World War III Prologue... until it's progression is cancelled, in a way or another.

Putin however made valid point. No one want's missiles and military stuff on their neighbour, only to watch when it may happen.

I do not support NATO at all. I swear if it looks like we are going NATO, it will cause so many conflicts that I am considering to stop it by all means. It is serious death wish. It is now far from joke.

However, I do not support Russia either. I want my country to stay as neutral, as much as it can.

There is so many information about between Ukraine and Russia... I guess there are two non-soft leaders with both making mistakes. I wonder if there lies something even deeper than we see now.

West tries too hard to blame Russia for everything. I want to highlight though that Russia is far from being innocent, but I do not buy all the Western propaganda either. To be honest, I can see through on both cases.


EDIT: Furthermore

Whole war should be stopped immediately, having complete time-out. USA, China, and rest of the Europe, all of them seems to have some sort lack of genuine trust. People have forgot we are just damn humans.

What is the real power?


The attack into Ukraine was huge mistake, while quite understandable, people really forgot what Ukraine has become. The real deep issue is that Ukraine was never sorted it out about what it was, and perhaps too much turned out into West.


Sweden, Finland, Ukraine and few other nations are geopolitical between West and East. Both West and East has their own problems and they know it. Both of them are really just power hungry. What these mentioned nations should really do is do like Switzerland has done so far... stay on Neutral.


While I rather support Ukraine here, I shall never believe that much on West about what they offer. It is never a good solution to live on constant fear when two powers are increasing so high that no room to play with it anymore. Ukraine should have stay neutral. Perhaps EU could have been what Russia would have accepted, but nothing more. ( And probably too late now too )

But then again, Putin's actions compared to West... difference? None....


But, there is now 0.0000068% chance to get total world annihilation, and that number is increasing.... if that's what people want, so be it. I won't cry for it.



EDIT:

But, if we are looking into future, it is also understandable why nations are getting united between into West and East category.

Because who really knows? Some complete mad man, out of control, who can't control the power... it's game over. That's why nuclear arsenal were developed in first place. In here I understand more on West, because in Russia and China, there is only one supreme leader and most likely continues to be like so... who really knows?


And there are always 3rd parties... Terrorists, Other nations... even individual threats... Science has gone far and I can bet if those can get all the tools they need in order to seek of power... Chaos won't deplete anytime soon. This is of course quite low chance... but in terms of principal, it is not THAT low chance as you may assume.


Kreml has clearly told to Finland about stay out of NATO... and they are absolute of it. I agree, we should stay on Neutral. Kreml has no interest of Finland or Sweden, because it would had happened already before... Until someone else comes to into lead and simply thinks "I want you, now!"



Humans... Smart on individual, Stupid as **** on mass...



And this is just small portion of what other problems there are...



EDIT: Just to make clear, this is just yet another war between two or more parties... let's check it out whole world... more and more wars going on. Some are local, some are small, but effects may vary.


EDIT: About those wars... the clear statement about humans is that we are beasts... we slay other species for food, race and compete each other. We are nothing much different compared to other animals... it is evolutional thing of us. We may attempt to be like proper civilization, but we can never deny of what we are in first place. That's what power is.


But I repeat my question again: What is the real power?

EDIT: People forgets that world is simply not yet ready for globalization. It is simply impossible to do it in these circumstances... seems like it is some sort of stupid trend by West. Cultural differences are still so much different. And now as nearly whole world is connected to internet... damn...


EDIT: Russians didn't want this, Ukrainians didn't want this... nobody wanted this, no one except Kreml... ( And perhaps at least in theory, some western propaganda ) therefore I quite understand why my nation is getting pushed into NATO...

...the timing is so wrong... probably critical forever. Sweden, Finland and Ukraine should stay Neutral and become actual Buffer states...Neither west of east can have in hands of them. Period. I guess that's what China is really looking and hoping for!


EDIT 16:30 UTC+2: I happened to see some Russian news about this Ukraine war... completely bullbricks. Perhaps attempt to cause fear and confusion for western nations. ( You can see them e.g. YouTube too )

And of course how come, some individual clowns on battle field doing unacceptable stuff, those aren't shown at any costs.

Nice vehicle. Car loses power a bit on high revs. Perhaps ever so little tiny amount improvement would do good there.

Bye Bye limiter cut ;(

Please select the only ultimate one.

Quote from FIZ :

Best looking overall car: ACOSTA STARLIN (Lancia Stratos)
This is a masterpiece from the original creators to the Flame LFS porting.
Unfortunately there is no real rally track on LFS, those rallycross tracks are not really fine, also quite hard to setup for gp tracks.

I like a lot the almost-same-spec but different cars, usually made by the same author, like:
- MRG V8 GTR and LSV 12 GTR
- FT1R and FT28R (freaking amazing)
- VFI-9 and VKI-6

I guess you really didn't read the topic

"Please select the only ultimate one."

Nothing more... nothing less.

Ugh

Excellent!

Quote from Specht77 :

That improvised sign made me lol

Anyway, let's have a race? It is doable with Motorbikes too, made a lap with BX400

Well... just out from curious, try for RB4 Time Attack and RB4 Wingless

This car can go 540km/h on Hyper Circle

If it is getting hard to find, I can volunteer At least.

Very nice skins! Don't get me wrong, but please add plain skin back.

!

Quote from Motordirex :

Wicked! Good riding!

I was told there is actually a god rider in LFS, who is capable to drive fast some insanely fast bikes. In other words, being in whole new different league.

Would like to really see some motorcycle racing action!

I have never liked bikes, but I do watch when people go racing with them, regardless of the level or event.

But I admit, BX400 is my bike I prefer.


EDIT: My argument above, I admit it is a bit too rough and creates some conflict...

In real world:

Do I like bikes to drive? - No
Do I generally like bikes? - Sorta
Is there a bike you prefer? - Not really no
Do I ever watch motorsport which includes bikes? - Definitely

In LFS:

Do I like bikes to drive? - It depends, but definitely inside LFS I prefer rather in real life
Do I generally like bikes? - Sorta
Is there a bike you prefer? - BX400
Do I ever watch motorsport which includes bikes? - Definitely

We should really lock this and make every car there has been suggested as mods.



EDIT: As what I have seen first pages and what we have, seems like several people have got exact same idea, regardless of being coincidence or not.

Can do over 600km/h on HYPER CIRCLE layout, but good luck finding setup to be excellent.

Meanwhile, managed BX400 @ WE2: 2:37.53. Still several seconds too slow.

Already finished layout. Will update when more objects

Anyway, the car may be difficult to drive, but it is definitely driveable. To be more clear, the car is quite picky in order to handle in your hands as you wish.. but doable! Setup this car prescisely!

Quote from Motordirex :

I cannot get the BX400 to perform for me, and have tinkered with the settings, I find it really unstable. You're a better rider than myself. haha

:O nah..? hm?...

Does this happen to you as well? If not, the problem then may be with me with several other installation of different LFS versions from archives. Unless there are something I do not know.

When having roof closed, the maximum steering angle is 24 degrees.
When having roof open, the maximum steering angle is 51 degrees.

Bug?
