Terrible music taste, although I don't think it will affect your net speed.

Nice little game :-)

Quote from The Moose :

I started out with "Chequered Flag" on the ZX Spectrum. The hours of enjoyment i got from that was incredible. Cutting edge stuff in its day.

See it in its full awesomeness http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v= ... t05-g&feature=related

The next really good racer for me was Indy 500 on the Amiga. mouse control and awesome crashes were the order of the day

Then i discovered Crammonds "Grand Prix" and the sim racing addiction was something i would never escape from. Pure class

Ohh ,yeah, the topic. The original Need For Speed was brilliant for its time,
I played it on the 3DO ( did anybody else in Britain own a 3DO? It wasnt popular and didnt last long.. something called a Playstation was released and the 3DO died before it got going)
Loved Hot Pursuit and the sequel and the Porsche version was top stuff as well.
Unfortunately it all went 'rice' and became a hidious pile of crap of a series. And thats why its universally hated by simmers and is thrown around as the insult to people who want crappy tuning options in LFS.

Ah memories!! Played and loved all three of those games and likewise it was Microprose's Grand prix game that got me hooked :-)

Could be nice if people want to argue - then they can do it in private

Quote from squidhead :

Is Offspring even punk rock?

IMO - no!

Merry Christmas Blueflame!

I use the bind key to say sorry during race and then apologise properly afterwards

Staged anyone?

Quote from CSU1 :

I like to think a great deal of compassion for people's feelings makes for good moderation of forums, then again this person has me thinking otherwise. I want to make this clear; I have never foul mouthed anyone with direct intent of hurting their feelings or to start an arguement, or to better my position in an argument, Greenslades placement of me as an icon for moronic trolls is very hurtful, and i am sad now

Greenslade you coward, post an explanation for your placing of me into a personal attack on a developer?

I thought Greenfingers was attacking Victor? I'm confused

Quote from Greenseed :

It's only fun 'cuz the OP is an Englander.

I'm hedging my bets that he is Scottish

Quote from [nism0]M5 :

Personally i think that S1 should b scrapped due to the physics.

That doesn't make any sense to me at all. Fancy explaining?

far too often it's move a cat thats just decided to stand in front of the monitor

Likewise. My cat has caused me a few accidents so when I get a decent straight I use this time to 'nudge' the cat back to the floor.....

Quote from dawguk :

if you used proper English like a normal human being, you probably wouldn't receive such mockery, and would be infinitely closely to achieving your goal.

Are you asking for money?

yes, that avatar is just yuki yuk!
Plus take a look at your signature, F1 lover, God no, Hamilton is disgrace for F1

I must be missing something too. Why is he a disgrace to F1??

Quote from seinfeld :

this Just Really Shows How Bored The Users Of Lfs Really Are, Instead Of Playing A Outdated Game, They Are Making A Magazine. Sure We Got An Update, But There Is Nothing New, For The Time We Waited, We Got Nothing But A Few Tweaks,
Lfs We Need New Content, Not Just Ohh We Lowered The Xrt Cog By 2mm Making It A Totally New Car. Pfft. You Could Of Just Put A New Body On It, Add 20 Hp, And Give It A Sequential Box And Call It A Bsfg Turbo, And We Would Of Been Just As Oblivious To How Stupidly Lazy The Creators Have Now Gotten.

I Think Its Great You Made A Magazine, But You Need Contnet, Updates To The Game, And So Hype Created, Then The Magazine Would Be Cool. But Its Great That You Are Getting It Going In Anticipation That You May Have Something To Write About In A Few Years Time When We Get 1 New Car (we Hope)

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I was joking, haven't you noticed the smiley It's a good thing, offcourse, there will be more people from Asia, but was it more important then fixing some noticable flaws in physics engine, sound engine, etc?

Very funny. It may be more important to you but not to someone who can't speak English....

Quote from Boris Lozac :

It ain't broke, but there are still major flaws that could have been adressed instead of making it understandable for Asian people, is it my fault that they're not learning freakin' English in schools?
Even if Eric works on a oil rig 12 hours a day or something, half an hour every day or two would've been enough for plenty of new content and refiments in curent graphics...

That's a shocking attitude IMO The more languages catered for the better.

Quote from Ian.H :

Feel free to continue to arse-lick, like 90% of the posts in this thread.. but the long and short of it is.. LFS is nothing but a glorified hobby to the devs (which it shouldn't be!). Consider this recent pace and think about S3.. complete new game engine (or at least, you'd like to hope so it looks like a 200x game, not a 1980s BBC Micro game in compraison to what's available these days), complete new content.. etc etc. Eric will be complete with 1 new track in about 2052.. woohoo!!

You like too many others keep spouting this "their game" bullshit. It's not. They're developing it, but they're selling it for a profit, that comes with certain requirements.

I could create a list like the (rather comical) changelog for apps I write too, except I note the important changes and the rest get filed under 'minor tweaks'... but Scawen is well aware just how gullible and fanatic the LFS community is in general.. so if he writes down every tiny change.. people will cream their pants at such a long list. I'm surprised we don't see things like 'removed redundant comment on line 3219 of network.cpp' just to make it look like more work was done than actually was.

Bollox to 'LFS - Online Racing Simulator'... more like 'LFS - Smoke n Mirrors Simulator'.

Same s**t, different day. You make a point but then go on to make the same point on several posts.
you paid a small amount of money for a game several years ago - do you not have anything better to do than just whine about it???
