I have no problem with people wanting to drift. It's not my bag, but it certainly has it's share of followers (curse you FnF).
What I have a problem with:
(a) asking for a drift car - all cars can drift
(b) asking for bodykit upgrades and nitrous - pointless (see all my tuning-related posts)
(c) assuming that the devs should shift priorities to match what you want - remember you've been here five minutes. The LFS team has been doing this for years. You will have gotten over the MAD DORIFTO SKILLZ fad and onto something else before LFS is even finished. In fact you may well be retiring age
Being rude is an artform in itself - the point being to silence the opposition with a display of your superior nature (whilst simultaneously, and far more importantly, nodding silently in the direction of those you regard as your peers and equals)
Put the handbags away fellas! The problems of this forum are mostly down to the people in it, e.g. newbie drifter has just bought S2 response "oh no lets just hope he doesn't go cruise or drift" its his chioce.
e.g. newbie comes and makes a suggestion that has been suggested many times before response "use the fcking search button moron (links to 500 threads containing this suggestion)"
Now that's the kind of attitude that is making this forum bad not the people that are coming into the community, everyone needs to wise up and be alot nicer to each other otherwise its going to get worse and worse and eventually drifters will take over the world.
Just to quote you Ian on something you said recently which provokes reactions and makes the forum cold blooded.
"Geewhizz... do ya think!?
It must be international retard week or something"2
Regards,
Ian
Was your response to someone who was asking if people thought adding a LEMAN car was a good idea.
Yes it's been suggested a million times, but there's no need for a respinse like that, in future a moderator should or anyone for that matter link him to 1 thread containing this suggestion and leave it like that, instead of flaming the poor guy, and ultimatley may make even more people give up LFS.
Have been on this forum for one day and couldn't agree more.
What's the fuggen go here guys? It's not a dick-measuring competition all right!!
Just chill out and be nice.
And yes, I agree drifting is silly. Asking for "tuned cars" and drift tracks or whatever is like going onto a Need For Speed forum and posting threads about converting it into a high-fidelity racing simulator.
Why doesn't it deserve a response like that? If the poster doesn't possess the brain power to do a friggin search, then bollox.. they deserve all they get. It's not my fault that this forum has attracted the lowest of the lows in regards to intelligence lately.
Linking the fool to a specific thread is pointless. They could have done that themselves either by manually searching or by way of the auto-search (which even idiots should be able to fathom out, but it would appear not). I'm not going to spoon feed people who are too lazy to fsckin help themselves... if you want to, knock yaself out.. I'm not changing the way I am for these retards.
If these types of people took my (or anyone elses) words to heart and quit, that certainly isn't a bad thing(tm) considering what they're likely to be bringing to the table.
A LeMans car at least fits with the ethos of what LFS is all about. The world already has a million ricer games out there, where you can add tat onto your car to make it look like a shed. If LFS tried to fit into this category it would have no hope at all.
Forza 2 allows upgrades, but guess what? Everyone ends up using pretty much the same cars.
Well first off what would you use it for? It's just pointless and not even worth wasting my breath on, like now! If you want a specific car to be faster use Tune or Tweak, if you want different looks, find a car you like the look of. If you want body kits and a "sik exorst" go buy forza or NFS like people have already said. This isn't like forza or NFS it's a race sim for racing, not to compare how big your amir kahn rims are.
So many reasons why not i cba to post them. Plus search and you'll find all of the reasons if not more.
A tuned car? Efficient power delivery, better fuel milage, smoother running.......
I am quite happy that we HAVE tuned cars in LFS. If we did not have tuned cars in LFS, it would be a great hassle...
Tune - to adjust (a motor, mechanism, or the like) for proper functioning.
I try to keep my cars in real life tuned so that the longevity of them will be far greater than those which are not tuned. I regularly replace sparkplugs, wires, check belts and hoses, timing properly maintained, and keep sensors within their operating parameters.
Thank goodness LFS cars are all like factory brand new and in perfect tuned condition each and every race start. It would be horrible to find out on the starting grid that the engine was missing because it was way out of time or something...
Ever stop to think for one little second that not everyone has experience in forums? And not everyone reads the lfs forums every day reading the entirety of every thread? I agree with whatshisface that people like you are ruining the community, not "noobs".
It's not a question of difficulty. It's a question of desire. What you should be asking is: do the devs WANT a tune tool in their game? If they don't (and so far it looks like they don't), deal with it I sincerely hope they never do: put a tuning tool in LFS and it instantly becomes like every other ricer NFS piece of shit game out there.
i am asking for a performance tune, not an aesthetic "tune". if putting a tuning tool makes a game into a ricer game then why is LFS still a racing game despite the presence of a suspension tuner? people can pimp or rice their cars out by raising or lowering their cars to a ridiculous degree... don't even start on using "rice" as an excuse...
okey, so they kept out engine tuning as a measure to keep playing grounds level. well, here's a proposal: how about setting tuning boundaries on servers and competitions...like IRL:rally_dri *hint**hint*
These isn't a suspension tuner in LFS. There is the setup, but that's not 'tuning'. You can't adjust arm lengths or pick up points, and that would be tuning.
I don't expect you to understand this atlantian, as you want a pointless performance tuner, but it makes you a retard asking for it. Once you understand the point of LFS you'll stop making such a fool of yourself all the time. I, like MANY others I suspect, would stop playing if ricing/skidding/crawling idiots got their way with LFS. It's a racing simulator, where everyone has the same car (or same class of car at the very most).
i think he means specially only the body with normal road engine and transmission..... in germany we say "fuseltuning" (freely translated: looks more than it haves )
