Quote from MousemanLV :

I need at least 60fps to have smooth gameplay.

Really?

I drove the entire GT1WS season with less than 20 FPS.

From all of us at Team Vires I want to say a big thank you to the organisers and drivers for a great race! Only once did we have an issue lapping cars everyone else was really generous to us and we lost very little time. Thank you for running the event again, it was great to complete the 16 hours

Quote from xtraction :

what language will the stream be in?

No commentary idiot.... :d

Nice!

What language will the stream be in?

For gods sake, I thought this was next weekend, I'm completely free this weekend. Derp - have a great time all!

Niki stop.

Of course we accept the penalty of 5 added seconds onto the fastest time and apologise once again for breaking the rule. See you in the race

Alon Day raced LFS did he not?

May I ask a quick question because I can't quite understand a rule.

3.2.2 The number of laps in the qualification is limited to 60. For each lap driven too much, there is a penalty of one second to the respective fastest qualifying time of the car. The decisive factor is the evaluation of the tracker.

Does the number of laps include an outlap? Or does the 'counter' start each time you cross the line to start a flying lap or does it only count a lap once you have completed a flying lap?

Thanks.

Bild saying he's already signed a $15m deal plus bonus' but then Bild also saying Alonso has a contract with Red Bull so make out of that what you will.

Honestly, I don't see any reason why Raikkonen would want to go back to Ferrari, they are not a regular front runner, they broke his contrac early to get rid of him so Alonso could come, so I think it's a false rumour.

Quote from BlueFlame :

The other rumour is that Riccardo is pretty much set for the RB seat.

Which is strange since JEV beat him once again in Hungary.

No.

Alonso's manager is also the manager of Carlos Sainz Jr, who impressed Red Bull a lot in the young driver tests. Sainz is currently in GP3 and will be shooting to get in amongst Red Bull before everything settles down. He has also raced for Arden hence the Horner connection. The media has seen this and blown it full scale because there is nothing to talk about going into the summer break, sure Vettel was beaten but he actually extended his lead in the championship.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Make a wiki for your respective leagues. It just looks nice and makes competition reports, and points more visible and mirrors real life in some respects.

Nothing makes a win more special than a yellow box with a 1 in it on a wiki page! Let me assure you!

That's very true I firmly believe the spdo database motivated a large number of drivers.

How about AB refer their higher tier drivers to the bigger leagues then?

On the track walk Vettel refers T4 as a "kink". The Lotus goes down 2 gears, pretty incredible how fast that Red Bull is through the corners

Bianchi for Massa's seat.

If I may offer my opinion as a team manager of a team that is frequently in most of the top leagues throughout the season. I have been in many teams as most of you know, and I have always seen the same trend. Up to and including exam periods (April-July) is when team members tend to start to go inactive. I see it with my own drivers, most have completed exams and have informed me they have little time for LFS or computer games as they are releasing after exams, we all know the feeling. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with LFS, its physics, lack of development or whatever. In actual fact, I and many of my team mates have no issue with no new content, if anything the new content that was added (open configs) was not successful at all. In my opinion it is natural for activity to dip during summer months.

I myself am finding it very difficult to find motivation and time to practice for events and race in events since my exams are finished because I am invited to go out every day, or am given the opportunity to go out and therefore find it very difficult, like my team mates, to participate in these leagues.

In the Autumn, Winter and Spring seasons when endurance leagues are traditionally run I always see the team at its most active when people have something to focus on. It would be unwise to run an endurance league over the summer.

I've seen people mentioning this "alien pace" which can deter some competitors away from leagues, or even some people saying slow progress from Devs is causing a lack of interest. I think that's wrong, in the GenR Grand Touring Masters series it is as popular as it is because it has the top LFS drivers driving in it (Isaac, Krasi) which attracts people like me who want to prove myself against them. One opinion I have about progress slowing down in LFS, I don't think it's really that much of an issue, people come and go in any game. The difference here is that it is so easy to fall in love with LFS so its therefore easy to get frustrated with it. Those who "stop" but don't leave and hang around the forums complaining about Developers, or hackers, or cheats, or progress, or the weather, it doesn't help and it leaves the new comers to LFS with mixed opinions.

I believe there is still great interest in LFS, it may need to be marketed a little more, and don't get me wrong I know it's on the calendar and on LFS News etc but how do people who drive on cargame constantly or on FOX Junkies all day know about these leagues? Even I found out about these by word of mouth when I initially started and that was BACK THEN in the "GOLDEN AGE". Word of mouth has died, so how are we to expect new drivers into series?

My 2 cents anyway.

Bit strange to have the ruling like this, considering most people are in the "Gold" category since dwindling grids on some combos make it easy to achieve the results. I would say it's going to be very difficult to find someone who is "silver" or "bronze" status. Is there any chance of a Pro class Gold-Gold?

inb4 IMOL.


But a nice concept, has my interest!

Wow that's pretty sick.

I remember having a laugh about this with you and a few Vires guys a while ago and thought it would be funny to relive that, but apparently not. Underlines the gross immaturity of a large majority of the LFS community and it seriously is sickening, Cancer is certainly nothing to joke about if this was a joke, which I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I apologise for posting it, I wasn't aware it would attract gross and sick insults towards you and I hope that the sadistic moron who did post that would at least be a man and post it here so they could be rightfully shamed.

I'll delete the link.
