GTL or LfS?

Penfold · July 07, 2006, 12:28:58 PM

I've only played GTL and LFS a couple of times som can't really formulate an educated opinion (I can' say that spinning off both tracks is similar <_< )

Like others have suggest I would go with two nights so people get a chance to see which is preferable.

Ideally, though, can GTL please be on the Thursday

Cheers

Thursday gets my vote for GTL too.

Could you merge the two games together? The feel of LFS with the charm of GTL? I think the cars feel better in LFS, apart from the absence of feedback from the surface. But then I'm sure I could get used to just LFS or just GTL, or maybe both, alternating depending on what people feel like. So as far as I am concerned the answer is yes. :blush:

And yes the view is lovely from up here on the fence, but the splinters take some getting used to.

Are you restricted to the in car view in LFS?

Helluva question! If I had my way you'd be restricted to incar view in LFS but sadly you can't enforce it.(Good thing about GTL) The question get raised every so often in RSC or LFS forums and I'm pleased to say that whenever a poll is taken, incar view wins by a very substantial margin. :thumb:

Now that's the crux of the matter isn't it? The most important thing is that we have enjoyable races with people we like nez pas?

From the posts up to date it looks like a compromise. Thursday is GTL night, in stone.[/SIZE]
Alternate nights with LFS unless a majority on Ventrillo decide otherwise.

The message being; be on Ventrillo if you want a voice. (Hey! That's a damned good slogan

)

except to say we have Mon night BF2, Thu night GTL, Fri night CZ and Wed night matches. So,

what about Tue being the official LFS night?

And so the argument goes. I'm not going to convince you in a million years that it's unrealistic just to see the road and vice versa. So we won't go there eh.

Don't rock the boat. If everyone else thinks the sun shines out of its little chocolate starfish, well then, you'd better just learn to pucker up, boy...

Well for me both Games have their ups and downs. I would not like to say that either is better than the other.

For me (and probably just because I have played LFS to death) GTL "just" shades it by a nats bollock.

I hope we can get healthy close racing in both sims, its the racing that deos it for me not the game.

I'm looking foreward to some good close FUN racing in both sims in the near future.

Not the same I know but it's like using a wallhack in CS. You can see through a car you shouldn't be able to. That's unfair.

smite · July 09, 2006, 05:45:16 PM

I don't think it is any shape or form in the league of a wall hack.
I get my enjoyment out of seeing a lot of the track and surroundings and not the inside of the car.
Also if it is a supposed cheat then why have different views in the game as standard?

Also my lap times are no different with regard to in-car or bumper view so it doesn't assist me at all.

You like to play in-car that is fine but why make others do the same because that is the way you like it?

My choice is to be made to play in-car or play at all. i choose not at all.
