Who should I contact to talk about the FSR Livetiming? Stephane Rouault?

 

[Morgan Morand]

Tomorrow i'll start from the pits !

 

[Carlos Martín]

Leppala is god

 

[Ville Leppala]

Dear dudes responsible of this mod. Please look in to this buggy piece of... ...uknow.
That **** in the start is unacceptable. Im sorry but if people are starting to drop from the sky upside down from touch like that theres something pretty ****ing major wrong in the mod. We already noticed this while practicing and i was afraid that it would happen today and it did.

You should blame the mod beta testers.

Oh wait... YOU were a beta tester

That is true. I was so, its partly my fault as well. To be honest i didn't even think about that glitch like that could be even possible and testing the mod ALONE its pretty hard to do tests for moments like this. The funny part is that we ditched rf2 because of the collision model. ...ironic isnt it?

Edit: When i tested, i tested the tires as the admin dudes wanted us to do.

 

[Petar Brljak]

Led most of the race, nudged the wall with the sidepod in Harbour Chicane, engine dies...

 

[Zoltan Csuti]

SHITTT
PC CRASHED...AHHH

You had another team mate to test with, also you could have tested with other people from other teams.

What is ironic is to complain about the mod, after having posted 2 single messages in the mod testing group.

Edit: in fact you had 3 team mates to test with, according to the nominations of your team manager to test the mod.

The whole reason i was testing the mod was because we had one spare slot for someone to test it. I did probably 50 laps altogether with it since i was busy with other stuff at the time. Are u trying to say that i cant complain about the mod if ive only posted 2 messages about it? Im not sure why u are getting so agressive & defensive about this. I was not attacking you or anyone involved in the mod. Im trying to wake people up to fix this. Actually im pretty sure Kuncman posted a vid of similar randomness already in Melbourne, add to that Schnyder dropping through the track in to oblivion in Melbourne i find it weird that there has been no effort in trying to fix these problems.

Then you should have rejected the position if you were so short of time. As you can understand, 50 laps are pretty irrelevant when developing a mod.

I'm saying that you are part of the "dudes" who are responsible of this mod, who made this "buggy piece of s...". I personally feel attacked when someone uses that kind of expressions, especially after wasting hours (not only me, but other people as well) testing like 50 different sets of tires until we found a good balance (for the first time in 4 years, I have to add). At least you could use kind words, it's the least thing you can do after being totally useless during the mod beta testing.

 

[Ville Leppala]

Gonna remember that for the following years to come. I wont be wasting your time if 50 laps is worse then nothing. What i saw there was two people that tested it "enough" and it was Kuncman and Morgan. So everyone else involved were wasting ur time and should have rejected the testing offer. I wont be wasting your time from now on with any kind of feedback for future mods. As i said i had a poor choice of words and i apologize that.

When i hacked into my naugbours computer the other day i went to his house to tell him his pc security sucked, he got mad instead of listening to the problem, listening to the solution so it would not happen again. When people are spending time on giving you advice or feedback from in this way a customer point of view then refusing to listen and starting a discussion results in having a bad time. In my opinion we should solve this problem instead of arguing but when drivers dont finish in a race because it lags is it a surprise they get frustrated in forum chat? a smart man knows how to convince the other person, a wise man is trying to see the perspective of the other person.

 

[Nick Rowland]

You hacked your neighbours PC? Standard... lol

 

[Chris de Jong]

You hacked your neighbours PC? Standard... lol

his ports where right open, if a guy uses his hd to store 200gb then its fair to say it to him right? but he was like wtf who gave you acces, while basicly he did it himself.

 

[Nick Rowland]

LOL fair enough
