That's not entirely true. I imagine it's quite an easy bit of code to disable it. Look at single seaters.....(already implemented) It's probably just a variable stored in the car, HornAllowed = 1 / 0 , which means a 2 minute job to change it for the next patch. Probably more like 1 minute actually.

Adding to this I have noticed that any large voicing of modifications to LFS that are easy to do are usually implemented. I follow LFS developement quite closely.

I think removal of the horn will literally ruin police chases on cruise servers. Hearing sirens in the distance is a large part of the police chase immersion and excitement to me. :x

No GTR's would work fine, imo.

If this horn thing would ever come true, this is the way we might go to keep the concept and vision still together.

Either he's just swimming against the stream of arguments, trying to annoy people.
Or he says that GTR cops would be pointless without horn. To that I'd have to agree. So... no GTR cops, no bank robbing in GTRs anymore. But I'd still let them drive on the server, cops in slower cars will just gave to find new strategies to stop GTRs, making more use of road blocks etc. Isn't really that difficult, is it?

I don't think I was entertaining the idea of removing GTR's, just wouldn't be quite as fun no more with no woo-woo's

No need to be so bitter, it's not such a bad idea to not have GTR police chases anymore. I'm not quite fond of them myself either.

Of course the majority will decide in favour of GTR horns, so there's no need to worry. It's only one small improvement suggestion among many others, and many are more important than something trivial like this.

Ofc, one ither idea is to let them be on server and have the same restrictions as MRT (cant rob bank). And part of the roleplay is that in that case they arent gonna be road legal any more...

but i dont worry to much, I dont have time to worry of 'what if's'.

I'm not bitter, just not too fond of 1-sentence postings which don't explain particularly well what the poster has to say.
