There's a Simcenter planned in Almere in Holland... that's awesome, but... those losers are planning to only use GTR, Colin McRae Rally and RFactor :pillepall for their simulators!
Please everyone, help us Dutchies to get LFS in this Simcenter and vote in the poll in the link above or below!

Thanks, TraXXion

Colin McRae Rally
What did that one lose up there? Guess we should also advertise Richard Burns Rallye, allthough it won't have a sequel ;)

EDIT: As they don't allow multiple votes, LfS is the way to go :D

CRC is far from sim.
Flatout 2 isn't even finished modeling.
Never played MBWR
Squadra was fun, but far from sim, I could lap people using a keyboard. Though I liked the driver blackouts.
Never played WR2
Xpand Rally was pretty close to sim.
RD3 is more arcade then an arcade machice. It sucks, bad. Who knew you could take a Honda Civic 2006 model around Donington and never break once.
The car has no power at any RPM range (unless it's just the Civic is balls and the engine is fine). I had it on "Pro Sim" mode, and was using my keyboard...

just voted lfs has 74.58% of the votes, the closest one to lfs is is GTL with 9.32%, guess they have a long way to go b4 any sim is "treat" to LFS.

Keep on voting people!!!

Hail Traxxion, for starting this topic! This morning LFS was sure to lose in the poll, now its #1.

[(SaM)]

Hehe, it feels like cheating, of course everyone here will vote for LFS because of this thread here, and there probably arent threads like this one for other games on other forums. But hey, GO LFS WOO. :static:

Anyway, if they're gonna start that simcenter with LFS installed, I'll be sure to check it out! Isnt that the Game Capitol I've read in the newspapers? It's gonna be a huge succes concidering the demand/enthusiasm for it an (online) gaming center.

[Lible]

Gave my vote! I think that LFS is going to win :nod:

[traxxion]

No, you're talking about that huge game center they're planning to build in Rotterdam... That's gonna be about a hundred times bigger than this Game Center, but that's because this is racing only, the Game Capitol will have all sorts of games (shooters and etc.).

[speedykev]

Voted for the one and only.:scratchch LFS :)

[GianniC]

/me wants also such a gamecenter in Belgium :D
Always the 'northernneighbours' who get the fancy stuff uh :razz:
Anyway, voted to too, LFS of course ! I wonder, are we the only people who saw the poll or do the communities of the other games just don't want to vote or don't know about it or euh voted for LFS also or... Hope nobody spreads the word and wakes up the other game community's! Anyway..comfortable lead :thumb:

[eckh1]

Voted for RBR, it looks like LFS has enough votes already :scratchch Let's make them thrash the CMR from their simulators (these two words just don't fit together) and simulate real thing instead :thumbsup:

Voted for Mercedes Benz World Racing. Naw, jk i voted for LFS!!!

since we obviously have one of the best online gaming communities around, why dont we use that to our advantage and create a poll to promote LFS? somethin like best racing simulation game of 2005? :D ofcourse LFS will get a few hundred votes within a day, but hey, it'll catch people's attention, especially these whos been living in a cave the last few years and never heard of LFS

A poll on RSC? Hasnt there already been one.
Would be funny to make a poll on the LFSForum tho, see how many people vote for other 'sims'

Well, RBR kind of have a sequel already: http://www.gizmondo.com/games/item.asp?id=11

Once I watched that video there I almost wanted to cry. I think the main reason for this is that RBR didn't sell enough copies and because of that Gizmondo (portable console) company bought Warthog. :'(

Looks like LFS has been knocked off it's perch fellas. Who would believe that another game could have fanboys just as rabid! :D

It's funny though. GPL being voted for best sim game in 2005. It was published in 1998. It just shows how good it actually is.

There are some funny remarks, like

I actually like LFS a lot, which is doubly infuriating because i would play LFS more if only angry insects could be replaced with internal combustion engines

Haha, that made be burst laughing :rofl:

But indeed yes, GPL was so much ahead of its time when it was released. But honestly tho, I don't think it's better than LFS in sheer realism. Not that I've ever driven a sixties formula racer IRL, the cars in it don't feel "good" or like they should, they feel afloat somehow. Hard to explain. :shrug:

[Gabkicks]

floaty and incredably predictable.:scratchch doesnt feel as complex as lfs... but still pretty good. Sad how some fanboys bash lfs on that thread.:shrug: cant you cant have a conversation with extreme fanboys like that.

GPL? .. never heard of it, Mick :tilt:

Now, when interpeting these poll results, we must remember that RSC is the Mecca for GPL'ers and the LFS brethren aren't as centralised. Nonetheless, the old bangers sure command some loyalty :)

Hey Gab, FYI the GPL '67 cars are meant to be floaty. That's what you get when you mix 400hp with no aero. They're definitely not as complex (again, no aero and they're 38 year-old cars too) - although the .exe itself is still revered as being way ahead of its time. Wait for GPL 1969 and you may revise your complexity theory (as this will include downforce). As for being predictable, you probably aren't driving them fast enough ;) For open-wheelers, GPL ('65 or '67) is the ultimate for me.

As for tin-tops, LFS is the bomb!
(had to throw that in :))

[Gabkicks]

i know. i was just pissed at the guy who was bashing lfs.:shy:

[Daedelus]

My vote is in. I wonder if the "outside interferance" will cause LFS to be disquallified?

[Hankstar]

"Outside interference"? If LFS'ers are guilty of it then so are GPL'ers. In spades :D

GPL doesn't feel floaty :really: :) What was surprizing for me was that some people don't get the same floaty feeling from GTR as I do. For me there are only couple sims that don't feel floaty; the LFS, GPL and netkar.

And here are some more oneliners:

LFS sounds like a spectrum, i cannot vote for a game which uses sounds from 1985

Love how LFS is winning. haha it isnt even realistic....Some of the worst physics around but thats what you get with people who have never driven a race car...

WTF? Who does he/she think he/she is?

Someone who hasn't even driven LFS and hasn't realised that the GTR cars aren't quite complete yet (they haven't been around as long) and doesn't see life beyond downfoce cars because he/she can't handle huge amounts of power on a road car (without driving aids anyway which LFS hardly has any of) and someone who doesn't see the purpose of low powered road cars because he/she is a hotlapper and knows nothing about close racing. :smileypul

(in other words, a thick, block-headed individual who lives in his/her own little world)

[Hankstar]

I think calling them names is a bit OTT isn't it? It was definitely a pretty stupid and small-minded comment but I hardly think it requires insults. I'm confident that guy would be in the minority at RSC and at the GPL forums, and it'd be a shame if you judged everyone over there by that guy's one ill-informed comment.

There are loads of GPL fans (like me) who also play LFS precisely because they can get close racing with a bunch of different cars. I like that LFS and GPL different in so many ways, but I also like their similarities. In both games, the creators attempted to do things a bit differently and produce a top-end, high quality and unique sim, which they did. In both games over the years I've had some awesome racing experiences that left me grinning like a moron for hours - a good chase is a good chase, doesn't matter what car, track or game. Both games have generated huge, loyal online communities which continue to contribute to the life and quality of their favourite game, frequently providing all sorts of addons, utilities, mods and other stuff. Both games have loads of great things to offer anyone who likes fast cars - if one person can't be nice for whatever reason, it's his loss in the end. Let him be ignorant, he's the one missing out.

[nikimere]

For someone to open a Racing SimCafe which is a business i assume they would have done some sort of research into their corner of the market... no a great start that they didn't have LFS as one of the main Sims :shrug:

[Exar Kun]

GPL? .. never heard of it, Mick :tilt:

Haha - it's nice to go to a forum where I'm not actually staff or anything and just stir things up. :D

My vote went to GTL on that list although out of all sims currently produced, Richard Burns Rally has by far the most advanced physics. NR2k3 and GTR are the best representations of real life racing series ever produced.

I appreciate most sims on that list. They are all works of art in their own way. I currently play GTL almost exclusively and I love it. Online is awesome fun. Just throwing the cars around feels great. It's the best sim of low-speed cars I've ever played. I can feel what the car is doing so much more than in LFS - but that's a subjective thing. There is no "best", there is only a "favourite". I just laugh at anyone who thinks otherwise.

[Gabkicks]

rbr doesnt simulate downforce as far as i know... just drag.:shrug:

the game feels great. ffb is great and the cars move as you would expect them... but alot of modders who have looked at the games insides were a bit dissapointed with how there were some "shortcuts" taken in the physics department.

Its still a musthave for sim fans and rally fans .:thumb:

so.. i'd say lfs show's the most promise when it comes to physics. We shall see if that changes when nkPro comes out.

[Exar Kun]

Really? Interesting. Maybe it was done to be able to get consoles to handle the calculations?

Yes, nkPro is the one I'm really waiting for. As much as I love GTL's handling and feel I'll acknowledge that the engine it's built on is the MS Flight Simulator of race sim engines. Very open and easy to work with but still using tables to look things up and not calculating properly. But, in the end, it's the game that I enjoy playing the most and convinces me best that I'm driving a real car. For all it's realism, to me LFS feels wrong - unless I'm driving the FO8 and then it feels spot on. Dodgy cockpits, dodgy sounds, arcadey looking displays and fantasy cars & tracks don't help the cause for me either but each to their own. ;)
