so in cases like that the horn would come in handy, then if there is a car in front that you think is just not letting you pass, they may just not know your there

If they are lapped, they get a blue flag. If they aren't lapped, why should they let you pass?

Hehehe, who started with the "idiot" wasn't me babe

You weren't the first to use the word in this thread, but you were the first to insult another forum member with it.

Quote from André :

BTW a proper patch implementation would be a track editor, we just ask for that for 5 years now. In stead of silly unwanted "updates" work on real patches.

CIAO

Now you're being offensive on a number of different levels.

Serp.

Thx André, haven't really laugh this hard for a little while

Awoooooogah!


Glad it's gone in the single-seaters.

C'mon Andre, what's happened? You used to be cool back in early days of LFS, now this stuff.....

Good to see the horns are gone.

Quote from André :

Communication with 200 Km/hr, the only we had ...

André you idiot not everybody heard the horns because you could delete the files.

this entire thread seems kinda pointless

ah well, i dont think i'll miss the horns in any way...already horny enough...

get it...? *sigh* ..yea, it's the lack of sleep...really it is..im usually not like this..hmm

*zzzzz*

I hear you about it being a way of communicating that you are in a drivers blindspot... if that is what you mean. Mirrors are only so good to see where other cars are, especially if they are swerving about all over the place, so to say "you have mirrors - use them" is a little off the mark. I personally have Track IR which helps with my situational awareness, but I remember playing lfs without it, and I can see how limited the FOV is, in any game not just LFS...

My suggestion would be to include a "mini-radar" showing the position of your vehichle as a static icon and the position of other cars around you. I can't remember which game had this in but it worked superbly Of course, I am only a humble racer and this is my first post, so please tell me to feck off if you want lol

I'd be happy for them to be removed from all cars...

Oh and please don't call each other idiots... I like to think this forum is a little more civilised than that

Just communicating Andre style

Seriously though I don't like the idea of a mini radar, map or horns.

Well, I was just thinking of the others who have that problem. Isn't there a program that alerts you to vehicles on your left and right side? I'm sure I've seen it working on my bro's pc with LFS...

BS, why was it there be4 then ?

The Horns give a lot of extra fun and now that aspect is suddenly gone.
Great patch (...)

Suggestion, restore this option asap .[/quote]

You started off wanting the horns for fun then someone gave you the idea that they were useful and you changed your tune.

The horns shouldn't be in the single seaters and I'm glad there gone. Can't stand it on public servers where someone is blasting there horn behind you as if you should jump out there way when your fighting for position illepall

Keiran

Solution...

yell "BEEEEEEEEEEEP" when you approach a slower car...

Horns are to warn slower people of a car behind them?? So, tell me, WTF is the point of mirrors then - to do one's makeup??

Good move Scavier

If the devs would have put horn into F1 car, then all the noobs would drive it and then tell all other noobs that real formula1 cars got horns, because LFS has, and it is real in LFS.

Wow, this jerk posts like he is from NY or something. (I'm from NY, btw...I know sarcasm doesn't travel well)

What a ridiculous thread. I quite like the lack of silly, unrealistic stuff like horns in single seaters.

:uglyhamme

Goresh: My point was that even the things we do have are not entirely as in real world. You can lean sideways or forward to get a clearer view of whats behind - even if its a suttle movement - can't do that in LFS. The mirrors are like tiny monitor displays.

Then we have instant or smoothed sideviews - I prefer instant but this means I'll get a blind spot..... ahead of me :| And this is one of the major areas where the horn comes into play - not because of me, but because of the driver almost behind me!

Yeah, I can buy TrackIR - but I wont - too unnatural, and after buying some 3D glasses I now dislike the idea of wearing anything to improve gaming experience.

Hoellsen: The map does not show what I want to see - and even if it did, I wouldn't use it - I find the map to be far more unrealitic than the horn.


Comparing LFS racing with real life racing is an illusion.

In real life you compete against competitive (more or less) opponents. You dont see huge gaps in laptimes from the fastest to the slowest competitors, unless the race itself allows different classes.

But in LFS - we see this every day - because not everyone are rutined - heck, som don't even have a drivers license While even fast hotlappers are only fast hotlappers and not able to actually race.

In LFS people make mistakes that would be so outragous in real life that they wouldn't be allowed to race in the first place.

I don't want the horn so I can blow it all the time and let people make room for me. I want it to be in there so I can remind them that they are not the only ones on the track, or that they are doing something seriously wrong and could very easely affect me.

I liked the horn even if it wasn't perfectly realistic, news flash, lfs isn't real life, it's a multiplayer online game, and the horn had its uses.

that might be it!

And flags?!

I think most of us used it for some sort of communication, I for one used it on the oval to say "up high" or "down low" and on tracks to say "look at me, I'm a horny overzealous idiot" . It has its uses, and its mis-uses, I think that they should have them beacuse it aids in those 300Km/h communications on all tracks drafting down the backstraight and such.
