i'd never take part in such a league since these always attract all those fast guys and i'll never beat them.


anyway, what i'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see would be something like the formula one of LFS: an international league with the BF1, entry fee, every race broadcasted for free via the web that should attract the best LFS drivers and teams from around the world.
there should be realistic rules to make the racing more interesting and serious (like: no constant shift+p pitting during qualification, cars should be forced to enter the pits by actually driving there. or: no simple shift+p or spectating during the race either, cars should drive into the pits to give up or if they get stuck/are demolished there should be safety-car like in SHAC-07 and the wreck should be taken care of by a service car.)

you can stop the timer in GTA with a trainer and deliver passengers at realistic speeds.

mafia is also very good.

Quote from nikimere :that link is in German.... just to let everyone else know who doesn't speak German

some 64 old mercedes driver wasn't happy with the repair bill, came to the dealer to discuss it, wasn't happy with the outcome, pulled out a submachinegun, shot at the manager and another worker, missed them, they fled, a woman feinted, the shooter was arrested.

Quote from TiJay :
1) Have you ever bought a product on the strength of an advert alone and why?

no, but i have often ernough started to avoid products because of the stupidity of their adverts.
Quote :
2) Have you ever bought a product because it had an aspirational advert that appealed to you and what was it? (eg Lynx ads show the product making someone a hit with the ladies)

no, i'm usually wondering whether the ad guys really think i'm that stupid.
Quote :
3) Do the production values of adverts affect your view of the product? (eg Marks & Spencers vs Iceland)

no.
Quote :
4) Skoda cars are made by VW yet more people buy the more expensive VWs over the cheaper Skodas because of Skoda's past image. Do you buy products based on brand name alone?

no.



all in all, even if i apprectiate some well made ads, but even then i view them isolated from the product and i usually don't change my view on the product.

Quote from 96 GTS :LOL, There was no way they had any chance at all of making that corner. I love the "scheisse" at the end

140 km/h isn't that fast, but clearly faster than he can handle on those roads

the comments in the end are hilarious...

"shit! i wrecked the car. such crap!"

Quote from bbman :*cough* UFR, XFR *cough*

Althouth they need a RWD competitor... And a better differential model!

except that they need a tad more power, a little stickier tyres, a bit of downforce and they should be sedans.

Quote from matt_green84 :as i understand it, its more "So LFS has got a BMW licenced in it already, can we have another licened BMW? By the way its got dynamic camber which might be hard to implement"

But as far as i know the BF1 licence is from Sauber, not BMW, as BMW just supply the engine.

BMW owns sauber now.


the Sauber F1 is run by BMW Sauber and was put into LFS to request from their sponsors in order to do the Intel Racing Challenge thingy. therefore we cannot conclude that there is a real connection between the BMW Sauber F1 team and the LFS devs.

furthermore, the WTCC efforts are run by Belgian Team RBM (priaulx "Team UK car") and Schnitzer Motorsport (both müller's "BMW Team Germany" cars.)
thus there is hardly any connection between the F1 programme and the WTCC one, except that both use BMW cars...


apart from that however, i'd love to see something like a WTCC class in LFS. i think that would make for an extremely rewarding racing experience. something inbetween the GTR class and the TBO class, not quite as powerful as the GTRs, but with the same slick tyres and a bit more nimble, which would allow for very tight racing.

Quote :GTR2:
"It's like heading down to the bar and picking up some hottie bar fly chick with fake boobs and daisy-dukes, and getting a quick romp in the hay; leaving you with nothing more than an itchy crotch and an empty wallet in the morning. LFS is more like the medium-pretty girl who has character and substance underneath... You should marry LFS, it can only get better with time like a good marriage, because it's not built on superficialities. The bonus with LFS is that one day it'll turn into the hottie just to finish it off. Conversely, the "sim whores" of the world have no hope of ever having the substance they lack which is tragic indeed."

Like any slut, GTR2 has sex appeal that can make you crave more. Once you "go around" a few times you realize the relationship between you and the ... sim ... is shallow and only based on depraved desire for a few moments of extasy instigated by a lust for extreme sensory input.

thats absolutely bang on!


in LFS i really feel connected to the car and the front wheels, while in GTR i feel like something is lacking. even with the nice cockpits and the (half of the time) great sounds i don't feel as immersed.

are they mechanical? then just forget about getting much power from them. the distance travelled by the discs is much smaller than the one travelled by the rim, therefore the brakes have to grip with much more force, which is difficult to apply with a cable. hydraulic ones are much better (and last longer as well.)

if they don#t grip at all, they're probably worn or dirty.

it actually works in LFS, but only by accident...i was once wildly hammering on the horn, when the race suddenly restarted...the funny thing was. on my PC the horn went of, but for all the other people on the server the horn stayed switched on. now it was an RX race and nobody could tell me during the race that my horn was stuck, and they thought i was doing that on purpose...i got some mad messages after the race was over. :lol:

Quote from Gunn :You missed my point completely, but I won't be drawn into this stupid and irrelevant argument. I explained why the stat was now useless compared to what it used to be. I'm not interested in people's lap times, they are not indicative of a person's ability or experience either. I am especially not interested in how many miles or laps someone has done in a big circle. I have always used the stats for practical purposes, I couldn't care less about being the biggest frog in a very small pond.

then you should make your point clearer sinde i am in no way interested in any stupid argument. i'm not even an oval racer.

i just asked you what the total distance travelled told you about a person's experience and ability. what practical purposes exactly did you use the stats for?
