Well the last sum I heard was 3.500.000 Dollar/Euro (don't know which of the two) but money clearly isn't all that important for Schumacher.....he already has a sufficient amount of it

But it seems there is more to it than just 'warm air'.....http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80575

Quote from three_jump :

This Thread is not about the progress on LFS itself (but it will turn out like one of those threads anyway, I'm sure)... it's about the lack of actuallity on the website www.lfs.net when there are actually things to post.

Yep.....you got it.....I got it.....and several other people (for example Victor) got it as well.....but unfortunately not all (for example Tristan ).....

@Tristan - Just think about our 'complaint' this way: There have been by far more updates to the nK Pro website this year (2 - not even related to any development of the product) than to LFS' (0) - and I really do not believe for one second that this does reflect the actual development of the product.....
This makes nK Pro just 'appear' more alive than LFS.....

Being greeted by a cheerfull

Merry Christmas!

as most recent addition on the main page is a bit depressing.....

Quote from Vain :

In that case, head yourself here (DVD "Porsche 956 Incar" at racing-underground).

Vain

Thanx, but I already know the site and the DVD

DTM.....how exciting.....

I am however a bit curious about the presentation in Düsseldorf.....as I might be working on the Königsallee in Düsseldorf that day.....might be interesting

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFIC!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just adore the 956/962 (there's simply no sweeter sound.....to me ) and if you've got more vids.....keep em coming

Just try to stay ON the track.....

@=C.R= Boomshanka - Ever heard of the 'Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson'?


Grand Prix ≠ Racing

Seriously Tristan.....Leave it.....It's leading nowhere.....

If someone repeatedly misreads your posts you will not be able to convince him/her (<- PC! ) that you did not mean what he/she understood (.....or even wanted to read into your words).

I agree that LFS should never be watered down realism-wise just to make it easier to go fast for anyone.....that includes ALL input methods.....

Quote from JeffR :

The CSR260 isn't cheap, it costs almost as much as a Corvette Z06, and the Z06 includes extras, like real doors, a roof, ...

Might be true in the USA, but in Germany the Vette is pretty close to 80.000,- € while the CSR260 is less than 68.000,- €.

.....and I doubt that the Z06 would be a real match for the CSR260 in track-performance as long as the track doesn't consist of many comparably long straights.....even though I know that the Z06 is said to be the best handling Vette ever and outperfoms many cars that are far more expensive

Quote from Syfoon :

I disagreed on a GTR'd LX.

The closest thing to a GTR style Caterham is... erm... anyone?

The Black Brick: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=435746#post435746


BTW - I would rather like a LX Racecar, similar to the Caterham CSR260 used in the Eurocup Racing series, than a LX8 GTR as it was planed

Quote from nihil :

Didn't realise that.... That's just dumb and I presume an artefact of LFS being a work in progress?

Quote from Scawen in the X10 Thread :

Sorry about the last minute update just before the autocross competition, but we needed to add two features.

- Added new multiplayer option : force cockpit view
- Moved cones and physics objects are restored more quickly

There were some issues with the X version which made this update important.

I think this implementation of FCV was done in a hurry and will change again

DAMN....I just deleted that clip.....

Quote from Gaz00m :

i thought that with software development, alpha was version 0 to 0.5
and beta was 0.6 to 0.9

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage


.....as far as I know 0.6 should be the initial release version of S2.....

Nope.....read what I wrote.....

If I saw your incident I would vote (.....and for my incident I probably would not even start a vote).

To put it simple: I only vote when I know it is justified!



CU, Sebastian

Hi.....

Quote from Burnzoire :

If it were the 50% rule he'd have gotten away with it simple because many people ignore votes, some people are afk, and some people don't like to get involved.

I only vote when I know (usually by being an eyewitness) why someone wants the other driver kicked or banned and rarely (very, very rarely) ever start a vote myself.
It's not that I 'ignore votes' or 'don't like to get involved', it's just that I feel the responsibility to use my 'voice' in a fair and reasonable manner and try to use it accordingly.

But I am aware that the standards for voting behaviour vary very much from racer to racer

Hi.....

Quote from Dandy Dust :

.....This should work like an Inuit (a.k.a. Eskimo) society, with people talking to each other instead of inventing prisons: We dont need that at all - this is just a brutal illusion. Small comunities should rather sort their problems out by the means of the word, not of the sword! If this is not possible at this level, good bye mankind!.....

Sorry, but I simply had to laugh at this one.....

I've got a few replays where you show how 'Inuit-Like' you behave yourself

CU, Sebastian

PS: About the topic - The current system might not be the ideal one, but I think its a pretty good solution

I can confirm that I could reproduce the black screen bug using Wien's tools that you compiled.

Win XP Pro SP2 / GeForce 7800GTX (Driver 93.71)

I also got the black screen in W39 tonight.

Can't reproduce it

Seems to me it's not only got to do with Shift+F4 but also with additional applications that are running at the same time, as it only happened to me when I had something like Firefox or Media Player running parallel to LFS.
Some kind of gfx initialization that fails or something, as I see the black screen often when I Shift-F4, but usually I only see it for half a second max.

Quote from XCNuse :

@sinbad, lol people still think this whole thread is about the next LX car we could get.

Sorry, but in Post #1 you wrote:

Quote from XCNuse :

We have always been stuck between the name LX GTR and LX8, but lets be honest, what do we really want, a car to compete in the GTR class? Or a car alone by itself known as the LX8?

And many people here simply answer the question that you posted.....not which LX we could get, but the LX we want.....see the difference?

Nothing to lol about it, I think.....

CU, Sebastian

PS: Most people are perfectly aware that the thread you started will get them nowhere.....

Quote from Tweaker :

You guys don't understand. Is there ANY Caterham out there that has wings that can go 170mph+ ? (OH, and does it race against other cars? Don't start pulling charts from just solo runs at the ring) You can't make such a lightweight car to compare to those GTRs. They have bigger tires, loads more power, probably even a bigger fuel tank.

What about the Black Brick?

Sure it's not modern day'ish, but in its time it competed with various cars that you would rate as GTs and it was pretty successfull, I think.....

http://www.blackbrick.de/?page_id=18

You think a Seven with Aerodynamics is ugly? Maybe you're right, but at the time you're missing the point of a racecar.....its gotta be fast, not pretty

I think the Seven might be fast enough to compete with bigger GT's even today, if it wasn't for the fixed minimum weight, that you will probably find in the rulebook of most racing series, which makes even trying to use a Seven totally point- and hopeless.....

I would love to see everything.....a nearly stock Seven like the LX4 and LX6 that we've got today, a typical Seven Challenge 260 CSR with no aerodynamics.....but also a full blown race Seven that might compete in a race like the 24h on the Nürburgring, if the Seven had not been banned for 'safety reasons'.....

Quote from szyszek :

I think I may have read that once S3 has been out for a while, the devs might consider making such software available to the public.

I believe I can confirm that it's possible that I might have read something that did in fact sound like what you might have wanted to say.....

But do we really want every single server admin to adjust this setting to his liking so we end up with 500 servers that have 80 different handicap settings?!

Even if you get a friendly note that car x has the handicap weight y and the intake restriction z on this very server.....it somehow scares me
