it might depend on how u got the money. if its the pocket money u got from ur parents they could feel responsible on how u spend it coz its basically theirs. try to 'earn' the money in a proper way .. mowin the lawn par example

usually i like the ones more that dont play "guys who love to eat applepie and wear red dresses" off against "guys who'd rather drink milk and wear green shirts".

guess its a lot of work to implement a 'perfect' AI.
fast drivers often hav hundreds or even thousands of laps on a track and they r no stupid computers

for making a genetic algorithm improve fast u need lots of individuals (cars) and evolutional steps (laps) and of course a tricky mixing of genes to hand down just the 'racing' qualities. but still i guess it'd take a bigger amount of laps as a good racer'd need to get quick on a track.

anyway..it'd be nice if there was an interface to make a race-bot program.

i prefer speed and i just cant turn the wheel in time to catch my break-away-xrr
..countersteering

my wheel is fixed to ~240° max most of the time. i once tried use full 900° and hadnt even slightest chance for proper countersteerin ... guess its same in real life.
additionally it has some effects on ur body if u know its gonna hurt and i aint got the fantasy to imagine it in lfs .. its just a 'bonk' that comes through headphones after failing 'deadly'. so i'd say i wont learn fundamental things for real life driving in a game with this stage of abstraction.

its a racing game..so it might hav an affect on my behaviour in a real racing car on a real race track .. but i dont see any closeness to moving a car on public roads.

the high nose bug may be part of the aero physics.
and tyres hav to be updated too cause r2 are the only useful ones atm.

i agree with the big update including all. people would be disappointed if u reset their hotlaps too often.

yeah fine, this limits the exit screen to 1 remaining. i'm sure they can hire a developer who is even able to fix that

i wish one day the program really closes when i say 'exit' .. and doesnt show me useless lfs advertising cause i already bought the game and lov it.

or is there a button to turn off that sh.. ?
