Grant Aldrich keeps rambling on:
< WAKE UP !
< You are confusing ability with this so called " Driving Style ".
< In a simulation or a game there is no " Driving Style "
< its a ***ing computer game. Papryus did a great job but not quite
< as virtual as you want to believe.
So a driver who sets up his car with a 'looser' rear end he can
slide around corners better with, has a different 'ability'
instead of different 'style'?!?!?!!?
< You should let those people who want to decide for themselves
< if they want to use someone else's setup and tweek it to thier
< own personal satisfaction. BTW some people out there
< didn't buy the game to spend hours setting up a car, they want to drive.
< As far as setup skill, leave it to them to decide what they want.
So go ahead drive! What the hell are you complaining about?!?!?
Any game you play needs a certain amount of practice for you to
be good at it... Some games need a fast trigger finger, others
require more work like fine-tuning a car setup and studying the
effects that 0.001" stagger has on the handling...
<> If you don't have the time to set up your car for
<> YOUR driving style and YOUR CURRENT ability of holding the line:
<> Stick to the EASY setup and fight 80% opponents. You will have a lot of fun.
(Grant continues with his crap...)
< Again with this driving style !!!! Ahhh ...its a game, its not real life
< do you understand this ???? The variables that make up success or failure
< are written in the programmers code. To compare this to real driving
< in real life is crazy,.. next you'll tell me that Dungons and Dragons
< is just like real life only the dragons are bigger in real life....
< You all need to wake up out of your fantasy and realize that
< INDYCAR & NASCAR are ***ing GAMES, not just good games but great
< games and games is what they will only ever be, period.
I'd call them 'simulations', there's a distinct difference...
And you can just blow those ***ing D&D analogies (like all the
rest of your damn analogies) out of your goddamn bung-hole for
all I care, they have no relevance to what you're blabbering on about...
< As for my Driving Skill, I set it at 95% and I'm running from 4 sec
< to within .03 seconds of all the lap records, thanks for the advice
< but, I'll pass.
What lap records are you talking about, the ones listed in ICR,
or the ICRFL list? Sounds like you're talking about the ICR
records since you're driving at 95%... In that case I would
just pack my bags and shut the *** up if I were you... You're
in this over your head, boy...
< I noticed you said SKILLFULL, this is the keyword here, sounds like
< your drivers are using a different " STYLE " maybe one of them is holding
< his pinky out while hitting the gears......seriouly, the setups
< may or may not work for someone else but they need to decide that.
< Driving " style " has absolutly NOTHING to do with it, personal
< ability & SKILL does. Hand & Eye co-ordination ??????
If you don't get it, you just won't get it... Some people like
higher wing settings, other's get along with much less and still
the lap times are similar... If that isn't different driving
styles then what is?
< Wake up Herbert, snap out of it dude, where have you read that I don't
< have time for this SIM/GAME ? NASCAR & INDY - I love it !
< I know alot more than you think, and I'm at least logical about
< the difference between a game and the real world.
< You've been listining to all these candy ass whiners who are
Sounds to me like you're the one doing all the whining...
< to greedy to share a good setup with others because they spent
< hours developing a secret ( HA ) setup and are paranoid
< that someone might be able to top their average lap speed. (SKILL)
< I have seen many setup swaps/trades that have worked out fine for other
< people, I have also seen few that were not so good, but if this
< is due to skill or what you experts call " DRIVING STYLE " then
< chances are good that there are some setups that will work
< for more than one person. This decision as to " is this a good setup for
< me ? " is made by the person who has traded or obtained a setup of someone
< else's design. You or anyone else can not decide that.
Like DC said in his previous post, if you expect those of us with
thousands and thousands of laps in the books to divulge our testing
results for the whole world to see, you're the one living in a dream
world... We compete, we share ideas and tips, but we do our own
testing and enjoy the results. Those of you who want in on how to
be faster can ask around, and we'll more than likely give those same
hints and tips to you, but no way are we handing out exact setups...
< Anyone who thinks that their setup can only work for themselves or only a
< small percentage of people is truly and deeply FULL OF SHIT.
< Think about it, its a rather simple concept to grasp.
Did anyone say that our personal setups work JUST for us?
Didn't think so...
Are you high on something? Oh, and after what you just pulled
bashing Ralf and Herbie, don't expect any help from the IICC
drivers (THE fastest on the 'net)... You're pissed off at being slow,
face it and learn to live with it!
