What is sad is that Memorial Day was started for the USA WW2 Vets, who lost their lives in that war.

However, hundreds of thousands of brave men from all over the world lost their lives also, so that Hitler, Mussolini,and Tojo would not dominate the world.

I thank them all for giving up their lifes,so that I have the freedom that I have today. But by saying as Becky Rose did that respecting them that died, so that they could have computers and LFS, is just disrespectful of what they sacrificed.

Sad, sad indeed.

Quote from Becky Rose :

*cough*, "A" Land of the Free.

Anyway i'm not sure what the salut is for Memorial Day, but my respect goes to all those who died fighting to give me computers and LFS.

Sad

I didn`t feel old untill I started reading this thread,:tombstone

At the grand old age of 52,am I the oldest fart playing LFS?

Dodge seems to love having their cars in games;

I would love to see a Viper in S2 or S3. Couldn`t hurt to ask, and just maybe Dodge might even pay the Devs for the advertisement.

Real cars or not, I like the cars that are in the S2 now, so which ever way the Devs decide to go, is fine by me.

Quote from Silly :

Frankly, I don't understand why people are being so defensive around here. It sounds as if some of you are trying incredibly hard to find fault with rF no matter what. I think that approach is totally unnecessary; I think LFS will very likely be superior to rFactor in terms of physics before long and I'm very glad I bought S2 to be a part of the process in a small, tiny way. (I do wish Scawen would talk a bit more freely about the physics. E.g., I still don't know if LFS calculates tire response dynamically or not, but I digress.) Likewise, I'm glad I've got rF because it's a nice, mostly finished product.

They're both great!
:grouphug:

I don`t think anyone is being defencive around here at all, and nowhere in any of my post have I said that rFactor, was a bad sim. I`m just letting people know that it isn`t what it was hyped up to be.

As far as the modding of rFactor, take a look at the F1 mods. Most have never been completed, a lot of them just wasn`t very good, and the three or four mods that was great took how long to be completed?

I just started playing S2 since the end of June. I was bored with GPL and NASCAR 03,(played them for years) so I bought S2 for something to tide me over till rFactor was out.

Well, S2 took me by suprise, (I didn`t try the S2 demo) I got more of a sim than what I was expecting. Knocked my socks off. rFactor didn`t do that, and thats the one that I thought would.

I`m glad your enjoying both sims and you are getting your moneys worth out of rFactor. :^) I just didn`t think I was. I also am not seeing anyone on this form whining about rFactor, just people stating their opinions about what they like or don`t, just like you did. :^)

Didn't you just say "so far, so good" three hours ago? What made you change your mind?

Does anyone care to give a really in-depth review? Hearing "it sucks" is nice and all, but not really constructive.

I liked the day to night transition, but the more I played it, the less I felt I was getting my moneys worth.

Again, If you liked any of ISI`s graphics in other games, or the MP demo, then the graphics will be ok with you. I think they look dull and dingy. Sound is ok, Ffb is ok, Physics are fine, MP is great. It`s just a good sim. Nothing great, not the OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! kind of sim that will make an A.S.S out of you.

It isn`t the GPL killer, it isn`t the LFS killer, it`s the same old ISI in new clothes. For me LFS is not only a great sim, but it is fun to drive, RFactor just wasn`t. Getting my money back to preorder S3, I think The Devs, for LFS are going in the right direction, as to the way a great sim can be.

Well, we shall see about how the refund works, I just submitted one.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

that goes against a torrent of opinions i've been hearing , but ok... each with their own

I have cable, with 6mb down and 750 kbs up so I don`t have a whole lot of trouble online anyway.

I been on three servers so far and didn`t see any lag or warp so far.

Well, The graphics are not the greatest, they have that dingy look like all the other ISI sims, not crisp or clear.

Physics? They are quite good, but I like s2 better. (a matter of opinion though.)

MP, Great, as good as or better than, s2 or pappy`s.

Ffb, ok.

I do love the day to night transition and the night driving.

A.I. Not as dumb as s2`s but not a whole lot brighter either.

I haven`t played it for more than a couple of hours though, so my impressions could change, but if your an onliner like I am, so far so good.

I`m new to LFS2, but this sim is on top in my list. The MP net code is the best that I have used so far. The physics are top notch, the cars do basicly what a car does in real life, and thats what I want a sim to do without faking it just for the feel of realism.

The most important part is fun, if a game or sim isn`t fun I don`t play them. LFS2 is the most fun I`ve had with a racing sim in a long time!!! I also like how the Devs post on this forum.( That hasn`t happened since NASCAR Heat.) I also like all the stats that are on the website.

I am looking forward to see what RFactor has to offer, but as far as IRacing goes, remember that tub of crap that was called NASCAR Racing 4? I`ll wait and see how their FIRST sim pans out.

Here`s mine.

Nice!!
