Yup. Wear and reliability (as well as economy and expense) aren't an issue in LFS.

Might as well be able to change the frame and chassis materials in the garage to various kinds of unobtainium and choose the lightest one.

Or how about the ability to change the wheels' track width? :ices_rofl

Quote from BlueFlame :

I'd love to see you in a cart race mate, you would get bored and wreck others, just like in LFS.

Where'd that come from?

:feedtroll

Quote from Hyperactive :

Ai
+ Better AI
+ Different start reaction times for each AI driver plus chance of false start

Well, that's what Hyperactive has so far. Maybe these should be put in the improvement suggestions log, or...?

I would love to see a full grid of sedgeways.

They wear helmets on those things? LOL

Quote from jayhawk :

Aww...c'mon. Only a joke.

Jokes require wit.

Wait a second--how could paying someone else money (actually, the persons who made the cars you drive) make you feel less guilty about the pollution you're still making?

:spam:

Quote from mrodgers :

There use to be a team called FOG. They've since changed their team to something else that I don't recall, but I remember being on their server once and making a comment like "crap, this set is junk here.." or something. Just a random comment because I didn't have a set that worked and would have been needing many pitouts to tweak something to work. I never asked for a setup, it was just a random chat comment, but a few seconds later, I had a terrible time trying to decide which of the 9 teammate's set to try because they ALL sent me a set, LOL

Setup pushers!

Quote from The Very End :

You bet
But then I knowed where mums wallet was...so lol

LOL!

I bet yall got pissed at your parents when they had the audacity not to give you the candy you screamed for. :cry:

Quote from BlueFlame :

Just shows how Miserable YOU are... your a moderator.. supposed to be an upholder of the community i imagine, yet you ignore a new guys request, to be sent a setup that can help him improve...

Now there's an obvious troll...

Quote from Gunn :

Yeah that's a good point. A good setup can take some work and is not invaluable to the creator. "No" is acceptable without even giving a reason.

Not invaluable? I'm sorry, but your post is inflammable. :flamed:

Way I see it is, S2 isn't exactly that expensive. Why shouldn't they just buy it themselves if it's worth spending x hours playing?

Might I remind you that your own country's contribution to the culinary world was fermented cabbage.

Quote from Hallen :

Uh, yes. Racing is entertainment. All racing is. Even in Europe.

I thought it was about R&D to help mankind in their daily lives. Entertaining, of course, but not strictly entertainment.

I suppose it could be likened to something like the space program. Don't tell me that's not entertaining--in fact, those [launch] events draw large crowds. (Whether or not the space program is an utter waste is beside the point--it's not "entertainment.")

P.S. the guy who posted that video happens to have a slew of great rally vids.

Quote from de Souza :

on topic: never heard anyone call oval racing NASCAR

off topic: sounds TO ME that car racing the way it is in USA - drag, NASCAR, IRL etc. - are more for the show, more for entertaining the public than anything else.. you don't care who's racing (even because there's a LOT of cars), as long as they stay close and crash eventually. European car racing seems to be more on the pilots/mechanics/skills side...
remember: there should be exceptions in both places

An excellent observation!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

All american sports are dominated by stats. Even when they play sports the rest of us play, they are compelled to track all manner of stats. Watch coverage of an MLS football game one day - the commentators produce stats for things that don't even have names in the rest of the world!

They try to make it more interesting--otherwise there wouldn't be commentators at all. Boring all by itself doesn't make good ratings. :P

W/R/T the original post, it's 'cause NASCAR is a disparaging term. That's pretty much it.

1: Dyslexia has nothing to do with Austin31287's ostensible symptoms. Not even the condition dysgraphia--he wants to write like he does.
2: British or American, there are excellent and poor writers alike (of all ages), regardless of heritage. It is an horrible generalization to think otherwise.

P.S. Deafness has nothing to do with typing, per se. Speaking may be impaired, but not typing . . .

That would be cheating everybody would do more downforce before turn, and flatten winfs on straights....

In real life rear wing has 20 different possible settings and front wing 100.
"Our" BF1 has 15 in the front and 30 in the rear.

Stop the press! Well, that does it... for the F1 at least.

I agree with sinbad. What if the dude's using 3 monitors? Maybe it could be a viewing option...

Quote from skiingman :

Its silly to claim that it is "easy" to stand with a bike in balance, unless you wave your hands around and have a thoroughly corrupt definition of easy.

Also, while gyroscopic effects aren't dominant in keeping the bike upright, they certainly create some large forces when the axis of the wheel is rapidly accelerated. I'm guessing without further knowledge that its a factor considered in the design of the axles and bearings of bikes, and I'm also guessing that particularly in motorbikes these effects alter handling qualities significantly.

Depends on which way one spins the CD.

Okay, it's really difficult. Feel better?

You guys sure English is your mother tongue?

Uh... UFR = Ultra-Fried Rubber?

Quote from Shotglass :

i challenge you to do it for a prolonged time then ... its nowhere near easy imho

I'm a cyclist. I bike ~200 kilometers a week. I use clipless pedals. We do have red lights in my country, too. Notwithstanding (pun intended), if you want me to hold a camera while I do it, forget it!

I've seen this suggested regularly since the fall of '02, and even then I thought it was insulting to Scawen's judgment.

Sorry for being bitter all the time
