Download system is FINE. Seriously, the whole reason pre-download was implemented was well, so you didn't have to download 20 skins while on the server causing lag bar spikes and generally freaking everyone out right? If downloading the skins before joining is pissing you off, then TURN OFF DOWNLOADING SKINS or go get a drink. Lets not ask for options to undo a good feaure that has been added.

Why are people requesting here anyway?


It annoys me as well, but geeze.....so does having to tie my shoelaces.

@Scawen

is it easy and possible to code a favorite server list and maybe a friends list? (ingame)

Friends

chaa has not made any friends yet

Why would you ask for that??

Now seriously, regarding the demo filter I agree there are some servers providing worthy demo fun, but the reality is that for every good server there are 200 which are crap.

Still, it would be an option so it could be disabled.

Agree, a demo host filter would be very very handy...

Back to topic? So report bugs please, don't ask for new features such as a friends list.

I disagree that....

There is good demo host servers, not only the bad ones... And I am asking what is the point of showing only S1/S2 servers?

When I click refresh server's, I see about 3 full S2 servers, then 40 full demo servers.

I frankly don't want to play or look at demo servers, so I'd much rather only look at the servers I might be interested in.

The server list was much better the way it was before they were all merged.

Finally a new patch thnx scawen

Direction to turn is shown when leaving pit garage<<not work for chinese version

Actually, it cant display at any multi-byte character system. Maybe graphic system is a good solution.

====edit====

OH, by the way.

I think Formula Car has handbrake system is a largest BUG. Could you remove it at the next version?

It may be more consistent if there would be an indicator for the number of objects that are loaded when joining too...

Quote from G!NhO :

its NOT a drifting simulator, and its totally unrealistic to have 45 degrees lock on normal raodcars. Also it gives an advantage to have more lock while racing, go cry anywhere else mmmkay?

45*is realistic in normal cars. This is the same type of tuning as changing suspension settings, gearbox and camber. This is the same.
If lfs is only racing sim, why the hell it has some of CRUISE options?
EOT

Excellent?

Quote from G!NhO :

The cruise option is just for practising and it was in NO way intended to be used for cruising with cops and such.

then why is it called CRUISE?
wouldnt it be PRACTISE?
or "OMG-i-cant-play-because-people-cruise-when-in-a-racing-game"

i also have the prob with see-through tires on the fxo.. got it after z3 i think..

Quote from Scawen :

Let's be clear, I haven't added anything for cruising. Support for cruising up to now has only been about disabling existing features, a very easy thing to do... so you don't really have to worry if I spend 5 minutes disabling another feature to support cruising.

To me, cruise is simply a special mode that allows people to make their own game using our simulator. In no way have I written anything that influences cruise servers - the programmers of cruise type systems do it all themselves using the InSim interface.

It wasn't meant as a cruising thing with cops but a special mode where programmers could create their own game inside lfs.
So not just cruising!!!

who said its just for crusing? if the programmers can do their game inside lfs, then i sure as hell cant see the problem with a cruise-game? or maybe do a FPS inside lfs.. that would be cool..

*giggles* :P yeah true..

Quote from geeman1 :

The cruise option is meant for cruise servers. It was added because people use this game to 'cruise' and the options took only very very little effort to do.

^^

lol

Ill stop arguing about this silly cruise option.

All of those except possibly the first link have been tuned to a greater or lesser extent for drifting.

Many modern road cars (especially ones with wide tyres) actually can't have their steering lock increased, as the tyre is very close (if not rubbing against) the well on full lock.
The only car I know of that actually has a stock steering lock of ~45 degrees is the London TXII

This probably isn't a simple fix as the handbrake is needed on grids with a steep gradient - ie Blackwood - to stop the car rolling down the hill.
Disabling the button to activate the handbrake might work, but it - or a small push on the brake - does need to be there for the starts.
