It seems some here are basing any ideas/opinions of this 'unlocking' on how the current Training lessons are.
If such a testing mode of gameplay was implemented in LFS, I am sure the training would be way more concise and more fun to do. I doubt very much that it would take WEEKS for someone to pass all tests... or let alone tests for cars they really want to drive. Though, I am sure there are lots of people out there that simply cannot drive worth a damn... and the testing is something they'd have to do to safely practice OFFLINE and then be well prepared to come online.
If the testing was implemented, I am sure anyone could pass at an Amateur level, and have the car unlocked. But there could still be the 'quick' and 'pro' goals other people wish to achieve.
I bet you that it would really only take about 5-10 minutes per car for an already experienced LFS player. That said, what are you so scared about? What makes it any different that you have to go do a test to drive a car? Sure... if you go and download the game the first time say... S2 Final is released, you'd have to go test, but so what, that's a new aspect of the game. And I've always said this time and time again... I'd do anything to have some new features (especially in gameplay) for LFS. And the training/testing aspect could be SO GOOD if Scawen gave it some time -- both aesthetically and visually.
Without such an unlocking system, LFS would yet again become barred of features, and the training lessons would just be for the people that 'think' they will benefit from driving in un-challenging situations.... or better yet, people that are bored and want to do nothing better than to earn 'nothing' for trying the lessons, if that makes any sense.
I say no becuase i dont try the little tests, I would want a refund if this goes on i hate a game that forces you to unlock cars too arcady I would deff be mad as hell! sorry didnt read any posts just saying how i feel to first post!
That is in eula because it is impossible to please everyone if you make changes. For example, XRT out from the demo and Formula BMW put there instead. I liked that idea that there would be one one-seater in demo, but oh'la'la nearly everyone else angst about it.
If the test would be like driving school, let say just 3-4 tests for more powerful cars like: start, braking, slalom and overtake, I mean, that would take you not more than few minutes...and of course that should be added to your licence (to do it just once)
And blind AI is good because it makes you actually to care about car ur going to overtake, and THAT attitude neccesary for fair racing.
Someone said that if u cant pass learner for 1 lap, then online u would be moving chicane. I beat pro level like nothing, and still people online drive 3-4 secs faster laps, so........
Big NO.
Its pointless.If anyone feels the need to have a license (apart from the one in real life) CTRA would be really happy to host you i think.
I think that if you build your reputation and skills on a track with many other racers is still more fun.Im still finding quite hard to learn a decent number of tracks on FOX because i dont have much time (i can race mostly on weekends due to university) and i really want to enter a league.
It would be good if servers can decide if they want to use it or not.
