Quote from cannonfodder :You're right, and there is an Off Topic forum for that. http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Looking over the first page of the LFS Forum, which threads would you move to the off-topic forum?

Quote from Gabkicks :you didnt say that tho. u said hte thread was pointless. do u understand yet? probably not -_-

we all sometimes see a thread or post and think "wow this is stupid" or "what a dumbass" but some of us actually are decent enough people not to type it out. its a waste of time and energy.

No, I didn't say the thread was pointless (even though it probably is). I said the first post was meaningless. And I posted so that I could say that and point out the irony, obviously. Kinda like what you did. You see, I'm not afraid to express my opinion, and I still manage to be a decent person. No need to flame me.

Quote from NetDemon01 :And what's so bad about spam and off-topicness? We can't discuss LFS 24/7. There ARE other things in life

Pretty much my point exactly.

Quote from Gabkicks :just jumping in a thread and calling a thread pointless is pointless itself. do you understand?


disagree withsomeone. state some opinions and back them up with facts. that's how it should be done.

What kind of facts would you like me to back my opinion with? Just because you don't like what I said doesn't mean it's pointless. I think much of what you're saying is pointless, and you haven't backed it up with any facts at all, yet I'm not jumping on your case and calling you a troll, am I?

Quote from Bawbag :Hmm, the guy shows a general concern about the LFS forum and what has happend to it, he also trys to give a solution to try and help the forum out as he CLEARLY cares about the LFS forum and wants to enjoy it again.

Doesn't seem to me like he cares about the forum, or the community that uses it, seeing how he's suggesting it be locked down. If it were to happen, you wouldn't be able to post here, either, you know.

Quote :So no, his post is not meaningless, your post on the other hand is, even if what you said is true, their is no point is posting the obvious, I would expect some of the local trolls to say that but I guess your one in the making.

So if someone has an opinion different from yours, then they're a troll in the making? I can see how you would deem this forum full of trolls and flamers.

Quote from Takumi_Project.d :

making the forum "read-only" for demo users would also help alot IMO.

You're out of your mind. illepall

Yeah, let's treat demo users like crap and deny them participation. Then they'll surely want to buy the full game and be part of the community. Not.

Quote from Bawbag :Don't you find your post somewhat ironic? Your complaining about someones post who has put time and effort into getting his point acrross (A bloody valid one too) Where as your post is specificly what this man is complaining about.

No, sorry. His point is completely moot. Nobody is forcing him (nor you or anyone else) to post on this forum, or even read it for that matter. If he's not enjoying it, then why is he here? He can leave, and come back when the forum's content is "meaningful" again. I'm guessing that will be right around the time S2 final comes out. Instead he stays and chooses to whine about it, requesting that the whole forum be locked down, without giving any consideration to the fact that there are people who need it and who are enjoying it. This kind of attitude leads to nothing but flames.

I don't mind spam and meaningless posts. They don't ruin my day, or my forum experience. I'm above that. Seeing how there's not much to talk about game-wise, random stuff is fine with me. So no, my response wasn't meaningless. I was actually the one who made a valid point. We should have less people complaining about every little thing, and more people posting interesting stuff.

Good job making another meaningless post.

Quote from zeugnimod :So you never used the reset function? And you never pushed Shift+S?

You dont get your car magically on 4 wheels again, if its on its roof in real life, do you? If you do, learn me how.

I try to stay away from reset buttons and such. Unless I'm completely stuck and have no choice. IRL there would be people who'd help you get back on the track if you were stuck. We don't have that option in the game.

I thought the whole point of a simulation was to get as close to reality as possible, so driving in a chase cam view seems like a step in the opposite direction.

Quote from Crazy Harry :And in Sports Car GT, NFS Porsche, NFS 1, GTL, GTR, World Racing, ....

I quit cockpit view with Stunt Car Racer... or Test Drive 2... not sure.

I drove cockpit in NFS PU and World Racing.

People drive with chase cam? News to me. Something I'd expect to be done in Need For Speed, rather than in Live For Speed.

Quote from deggis :I don't know why people think it would be cool to have an opinion from Top Gear people about LFS?

Exposure and publicity. Doesn't matter what their opinion may be. As long as it's not highly negative, people will hear the name and go check it out. I bet one short mention on Top Gear would increase the number of LFS players ten-fold.

Damn I'm glad I'm not some 12 year old kid anymore, who gets pushed around by his parents.

If he likes the game so much, maybe he can get his own computer and race you.

Looks good to me, as long as it's functional and useful. It's not ugly, it's just unusual and unfamiliar. People will get used to those and won't think they're ugly anymore.

Quote from _--NZ--_[HUN] :Why set wheel turn compensation to 1? It's totally non-linear.

It's only non-linear when the wheel turn degrees are less than those of the LFS car. So it matches up perfectly for every car, when DFP is set to 720 or higher.

Quote from MR_B :If only we had the space to make a proper go of it though! ^^

When, and if, we get a track editor, I bet it'll be the first thing to pop out.

Unless the devs do it first.

Quote from Gunn :The way they (Top Gear) trash any little thing just to get a laugh I wouldn't want them to review LFS at all. Especially in its unfinished state.



You say that as if you have not faith in the quality of the game. Don't be so negative.

When something is genuinely good, they're usually pretty fair about it. So what if they make some wisecracks about the game? I doubt they'd trash it completely. Better than no publicity at all.

What truly needs to happen, as been said many times before already, is a copy of the Top Gear track in LFS. Maybe then The Stig can take the RAC around the track in the game and in real life and compare.

Blue Flag means you should pull over, park, get out of the car, get on the ground face down with your hands behind your back, and wait until the officer of the law either says it's ok to get up or cuffs you and takes your ass to the station.

So when I'm lapping someone and they don't do exactly THAT, it's obvious that I would get upset.

Quote from seggons :Am I missing one of the devs posts here thats said something along the lines of:

"Congrats on finding the change, please post hear to say which version you prefer and we will put it in the next patch"

Just seems weired that people are actually voting for which system they like as if it is going to change in the next patch :S

Yeah, because devs have never listened to people's requests before.

Let's just avoid expressing our preferences, that way we can be sure nothing changes.
