Quote from primalcarl :

I've been playing this game for ages now and really want some more speed, is there any way of boosting car power or speed?

Since when is one year = ages? Or 2500 kms much? You have to be kidding...

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Track GUI across the top suggests that they're clickable, but they do nothing.
Imprint throws SQL errors.
News has "navi" on the left, suggesting unfinished template
Liga shows the same as "start". If these are the same, then what's the objective in having 2 menu items. The inference is that's not ready, but that can confuse users.
Parts of the website make the assumption that javascript is enabled, breaking parts of the start page for instance.

I don't mean to rain your parade Vykos, and I want to point out that I admire you greatly (for many, many reasons), so I hope you take this as intended (which is constructive criticism), but after a good minute or so I wasn't entirely 100% confident of what esport-racing is, exactly.

For these reasons I consider the site "broken"

thx for critics, some of it should be cleared, if you read some of the news Sure, it's still WiP, but arent we used to that in LFS?

It's a bit broken

err, no?

online you have additional weights on several cars (xrt, fxo, fzr, xrr). So do not wonder if you are faster offline then. Besides that, the rest is imagination.

if you felt lost on track Darin, then I have to put that on some lack of preparation. Every other team uses in MoE Teamspeak for communication, there are always people telling the drivers what's going on, Using tools like the RaceSpec and the official Moe-tracker. Due to the fact, that when you are flipped, your endurance experienced would have been over IRL too, you should call yourself happy, to be able to continue the race Why should a sim provide then some help in positions actually? The thirdparty tools do that enough, and as I said again: You and/or the team you drove in was then not well enough prepared. I'm actually frightened that you will put a little wrong view on this subject, as the race showed for all the well prepared teams, that it was close, that infos were where they belong and every team had it's helping teamleaders/pit-talkers at hand.

Actually that's more real than any computervoice telling me to pit next lap....

e.g.: We recalculated our last two stints and that put us very close to third place, put some pressure on cyber, they did the mistake and we finally could ensure a podium, after being in the race for first place till hour 5 or so and then dropping back due to own mistakes and bad luck.

@Becky: If you sell it as part of eSport, this all should be easier

he also said, that most important impressions like speedfeeling due to eyeview / field of view etc. and G-force are just missing, and therefor it's not realistic. Besides the fact he hadnt really a go at it. Timo Glock e.g. tells that it's pretty close to the real thing, and he tested LFS at least for about 100 laps on as nat in bf1. And he knows the real counterpart pretty well too

So where is the difference then?

if you put the fact in, that he had a setup which turns his car into quite an arcaderacer, then you could have another look at it

If it just would be that easy...

Quote from der butz :

Oh another thing: If you guys feel bored, why not join a league? I don't want to force to anything special, but I think it would be a great waste of time seeing the "old" forum sluts actually race against each other! Might be quality!!!

Yap, i actually do hope so too

"official" ??? wtf, come on you're kidding

Racing in leagues is just the most rewarding experience you can get in this online racing sim!

The F700 is really interesting because of the engine. The looks are ugly, but a small 4 zylinder engine, running normal fuel, produces 258 bhp without a turbo. While using only 5.3 liters/100kms. That's awesome!!

The finally got normal fuel into a self combustion engine. It's a great technology, combining the small usage of Diesel with the cleaner products of normal fuel. The right step on a long road to clean cars.

Join forces with Soeren and his LFS TV Director project, which is a lot more advanced already You could add some ideas to it. TV-Director has a nice automatic action catching algorithm already, plus custom cams etc.

I dont want to say, you are doing useless stuff, but in such important mods, I hate it to see work done double by very very capable coders.

wasnt it Alt + F4 ?

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Force feedback is really nice, i wish LFS had same force feedback, like when car is standing and neutral, you can feel little shaking etc. Why LFS doesen't have that?

Hahahahahaha, you must be kidding... My wheel isnt shaking in my car, nor did I ever feel a wheel shaking in neutral in any car from twingo to Porsche I have driven... It's a shitty effect which is total unreal. I wonder why ISI (or any company, using ISI engine) isnt using the way to do FF, the realfeel plugin does it...

Quote from BlueFlame :

...The only thing GOOD is the Music..

Which sounds actually like ripped from james bond themes....

It's disapointing, that soo many people fall into the same trap year after year since F1C 2001... It's the same engine, it (un)feels the same way, no weight transfer feelable. It's a game I have to play, not a sim I have to drive. A wise man once said: ISI games are the noun, LFS is the verb... Once again: q.e.d.

Quote from Gunn :

3. Useful prizes, not some obscure piece of hardware or device that would only suit some people. Something that almost anyone would find useful or interesting.

How useful would be.... money?

Quote from P1lot :

I take it this would be ESL?

No, I'm out of ESL Aminteam (as you can read in my blog, err listen, err see )

Dajmin, you jus showed me again, that I really have to do this project, as the younger people in here seem to not know the oldschoolers I ran several leagues and different turneys already, and 99% of the prizes up to some PCs been delivered. So I dont really fear that I would run into "mistrust". So I wont run a "free version" first

get you to drive in a national and on top an international championship? I'm asking out of curiosity and own interest.

Some questions I have here:
1. If there is prizemoney involved, would you pay a little fee for a season?
2. What type of racing would you prefer? Sprints of 30 mins, longer races? open wheel or GT racing? Or both?
3. What prizey would be needed to get you "hot" to definitely taking part in this?
4. What else could you think of?

That's all for now Cheerio and thx.
