you guys remember the 'i am glad that lfs is harder and more realistic now' club? this is going to cause the same thing. i personally want it as realistic as i can get
If we get more than a hundred threads complaining about the new patch (after its release! ), and how hard it is, or how it's unfair to their old style of play, or how its too easy, or how the devs are gay, or whatever moronic complaint people will try and think of, then I'll make a "I am glad LFS is even better and more realistic II" club
If you can find a PC simulator currently released with more realistic graphics, I'd love to see it! rFactor? Nope. iRacing? Nope. GTR2? Nope... Some of the next-gen consoles have some clever looking graphics, but they never look like something that actually occurs in real life.
But the difference is Tris that Console jocks don't want realistic. They want what they think is realistic based on highly styalised and doped up effects based hard thumping sound track cool guy get the girl who would snap as soon as you look at her chased by the worlds evil men through Paris/Milan/London/New york/Mars looking like Steve Mcqueen type movies.
show them actual real life and they get bored very quickly. Either that or they've killed themselves by driving straight to the scene of the nearest accident when they forgot that tyres don't stick to the road surface with some highly improbable grip. Tyres skid. Lots. As anyone who has had an accident will testify.
Bring it on, I can't wait. Tris, sign me up for the 'I'm glad LFS is better and more realistic club mk 2' i'll be the honoury hat stand.
Heh, let's not get too carried away there... Last time I checked, the gauges in a real car didn't look like DOS text on a perfectly black background, my car had a windshield (as well as usually other windows), wee puffs of smoke didn't come off of overheated tires at random intervals, rotating wheels & tires tended to get blurry and didn't make me feel like I was going to have a seisure if I accidentally peered in their general direction, caterhams & assorted open wheelers had suspension that was attached to their carcasses; with even some springs & dampers involved, .... I'm out of breath, should I go on? How much longer of a run-on sentence could I make? What were you on about again?
edit: before you use the opportunity to list bogus effects that some titles use, I don't think LFS looks poor... but it sure could benefit from some major updates. Clever (read: subtle) use of some of the more modern DX features would probably get it to the level you pretended it was at in your post.
All I have to do is turn my saturation down and iRacing (was it ShiteRacing you called it? classy!) already looks better.
I saw recently kind of documentary with three ricers at the skid pad driving course... they failed 80% of challenges. I am looking forward for realistic and forced setups
How did graphics come to be involved in this thread all of a sudden? It's about tyre physics. Maybe I missed something but don't think I saw anyone mention anything about LFS' graphics until Tristan brought it up out of the blue? What's that about? Besides, you're wrong, and BBT is right.
I think by "realistic graphics" he meant, something that's not fake, like showing what is really happeniing in the simulation (i think a fine example is the tire smoke) Most racing titles nowadays (not hardcore sims) have too much bling bling, and that's what console people care about.
Just shut up and put up, it's so simple.
Your disrespect is so brazen I will bet you'd probably say the same worthless thing if you had to attend a funeral.
One look at his post history will show that he's just a sorry knob, not worth spending time typing relies to. Hopefully a mod will ban him permanently for his multiple infringements on the forum rules.
