This would be much shorter and more useful than a list of global improvement suggestions. It would serve as a record of what kinds of suggestions the devs have actually found useful or merely agreed with but used. Hopefully this would cut down on some of the vain ambition spoken of in garph's thread.

Here's another pet peeve of mine:

"Suggestions" for new cars or types of cars (or vehicles in general, for that matter). For divers reasons--they are an exercise in futility!

"I think this car should be in LFS!" Odds are no one will disagree--anyone of sound mind wants as many cars as possible!

These threads all turn into "yeah that car would be great but these are the cars i would like: &c." and following arguments over which car is better and why.

Maybe if demo users could not post improvement suggestions? Seems fair to me.

Still have the music stuck in my head.

Right. Hence the "no" vote.

Quote from aoun :

NO!!!! has to be biggerr and scaryer.. *looks for a pic of me*.. cmon try harder lol..

I think the MRT is harder to drive with a wheel, as you can't make lightning fast corrections from lock to lock.

Heh. Why not?

I use the term "AFK" very loosely.

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

in my opinion I think we should just kill the MRT and make way for the RB4 GTR, RAC GTR and LX8 GTR

Nah, man! Dump the MRT5 for an MRT9!

Support your fellow Canadians, eh?

I often find it frustrating, trying to get a couple dozen people to vote for restart almost simultaneously. Wouldn't it be a lot nicer if one vote lasted at least, say, five times as long? Or how about till you say otherwise or leave the server?

I think a little vote window/box with check marks next to each racer name letting people know the status of a vote in progress would be nice, but possibly impractical compared to a quick-fix.

Another suggestion: the ability to vote NO. It would be nice to know if people are just AFK or actually oppose the motion--especially w/r/t kicks/bans.

Discuss.

Quote from XCNuse :

-1

it may be good, but it would look hideous!

i dont want to see tires all over the tracks juts because some loosers who can't win for their lives cross a beautiful piece of scenery

honestly.. that turn is the signature mark of aston

well, it doesn't have to be tires. the black flag sort of option does sound ideal in a lot of situations... nevertheless I'm sure something simpler could be done without ruining the look (if that really is so important).

+1 from me.

Anyone remember that old saying: "torque wins races, power sells cars"?

Suggesting cars or types of cars is an exercise in futility.

Where's that "in before the lock" gif when you need it?

Quote from FL!P :

Definitely +1.

Wouldn't it be nice to have also an option to set the angle to less than 90°? I wonder if it'd help keeping your direction when looking sideways.

How about a slider to adjust the speed of the smooth look? Problem solved.

...and +1

Quote from NoQuarter :

Personally, I'd rather see black flags for people that:

A) Blow their freakin' horns because they want to get by

Hey Homer! It's up to you to get around, and you better be clean about it!

B) Shout "BLUE FLAG! BLUE FLAG!", like it's some kind of incantation that will magically make a runoff lane for a driver being overtaken.

Whatever happened to skill on the track instead of asstardness?

LOL so true. It would almost be better if you had to spectate to type anything.

Ban. Just ban all Americans--I'll bite the bullet.

Quote from JamesK :

Couldn't do any harm, anyway ...

Well, some people are biased against that sort of thing and it would be a stigma which would turn them away from LFS. Of course, while the opposite at the same time is true, that's a bold statement.

+1 a word tells a thousand pictures.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :

XP...1st problem

:feedtroll

Yup. And Anisotropic. (got to change em in windows)

You generally wanna shift the moment more power becomes available in the next gear--even a fraction of a second after that as speed will drop during the gear change (your reaction time to the shift light is usually more than enough).

The light happens to come on when more power is available in the next gear. Kinda cheating, eh? It has been suggested that we get a realistic (adjustable) one in replacement.
