One word - patch!
One word - patch!
It's not the best interface but after spending a good part of the day
playing it the interface becomes second nature soon enough.
to restart a race its the "Y" key.
the dev team knew this wasn't going to appeal to everyone. and knew there
would be some complaints about the purchase system. but hey, thats life.
cheers

You see that's not good gUI. It shouldn't take *any* time at all to feel at
ease with an interface. Good interface (ex : NR2003) are good from the
start when you load up a sim. Really why do they all keep some sort of
weird bloatware/animated menus/thingalings/large buttons that make it all
too complicated for nothing. LFS is the opposite.

My call for emailing was to make a point to them - if everyone starts
asking for more they might get the hint :-)
