Road America would be a nice F1 track, but it still doesn't have all the amenities that Modern F1 tracks have, and I think it would be a shame to see it changed to reflect that. It's so pretty the way it is, I'd hate to see the trees and woods taken out and replaced with ugly grandstands

Maybe I'm stupid, but where is the download? Shouldn't it be availabe right now, or did I get my times mixed up

LOL, well, if you never noticed LFS's tire deformation model before.....

Hehe, okay, that makes a little more sense. I've found they suit me fairly well, and that they're very easy to drive. They do seem to be better in the tin tops though, I can't say I like the FOX Race_S very much, it's stable, but slow.

riiiiiiight illepall

You're actually the first person I've ever talked to that hated the Race_S setups, but to each his (or in this case, her) own

Are you sure you're not thinking of the default setups??? I like the Race_S setups quite a bit, I find them very drivable, and I can be pretty competitive with them.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Avoid WR sets and never use a Race_S set. As a general rule setups dont make a damn of difference to the average driver, they are for finding up to about half a second but if you are 5 seconds off then you need something driveable. Find one setup that handles the way you like it then just adjust the gear ratios and downforce to each track - this will server you better than the edgy - to the limit - WR sets.

As for finding 5 seconds, without knowing what you are doing wrong it is hard to say.

As a general rule most LFS racers turn in too early and get on the power too late, take wide slow entries and be on the power by the time you reach the apex and you should be fine.

Also extreme and unrealistically heavy engine braking helps a lot, but shhhh, dont tell anyone I told you.

BTW: Always practice turning in early at all tracks too, the slower way round the corner will often help you keep a position. The 'correct' line frequently leaves you vulnerable.

I agree with all this except the "Never use Race_S" part. I find the Race_S setups to be very drivable and pretty quick, if I don't have a specific setup that I like for a particular combo, I'll use Race_S for a few races, than tune it a bit if I need to.

By the way, to record a full race, press "2" when you're finished, and type in a name to save. Then go into your LFS directory>data>then spr if you were offline, or mpr if you were online, find your replay, and upload it here for more tips

Evostar all the way!!!!!

Nope, never seen it. It's not really "Disturbing," just kinda weird, because it looks almost human, but not quite. Like a person's head with a low detail 3D mesh overlay

Quote from Dreamakah :

The thing I liked the most was the force feedback, it seems like a really sensible way of going about it, just calculate the force on the steering column and transfer it to the wheel (using a DFP till the new model comes out). I think more sims should look at this instead of trying to guess what to send to the wheel to simulate things that aren't usually felt in the steering wheel.

AFAIK, that's exactly how LFS simulates force feedback, and yes, it's the most sensible and best

Kryten, has anyone ever told you your avatar is disturbing??

I'm really terrified about Scawen's audio setup... maybe that's the reason for LFS's lousy sounds. I don't mean I'd have the greatest audio setup in the world but I bet that my 10 year old stereos beats those 15 cm PC speakers.

Logis sound amazing for their small size. Not exactly Bose, but they still sound great

There's a section on the Tweel near the bottom of this article

Btw, it says they unveiled it in 2005

Hey, I see an edit button for someone else's post, and I can actually click it. I can't do anything because I'm not a mod, but it's kinda weird.

I tried reloading the page, and it's still there

Attached a screenshot

svchost doesn't necissarily have anything to do with networking, it just runs other services. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I do know that much

*Edit*Beaten by TAA, by two days.....

It's the new Biggie anti-WR system If you can't click any buttons, you can't play, and you can't set WRs

Quote from thisnameistaken :

So it's more "Cops and People Who May Or May Not Have Committed Minor Traffic Offenses" then, really?

Sounds much more exciting with that title.

From what I make of it, yes, thats essentially what it is. I don't know where the "Robbers" part comes from, there's nothing to rob. It does sound much cooler though.

As far as I know, you drive around, either choosing to obey the laws or not. If you speed or do something else against the law, and a cop sees you, the cop will instruct you to stop. If you stop, the officer pulls up next to you, and issues you a sentence, either spectating or time in the "Jail" for your offences. If you decide not to stop, and run, the cop will give chase, first just chasing you, then if necissary, using force. You are not allowed to pit during chases, if you crash, you are caught, and given a scentence, usually longer than the one you would have recieved had you stopped in the first place. If the cop crashes, you get away, and can continue driving.

Driving on the wrong side of the road, deliberately hitting other traffic cars, and deliberately obstructing traffic will usually get you kicked from the server. This is a little more lenient during chases, as it's much easier to hit other cars and driving on the wrong side of the road is sometimes your only choice.

I'm not the owner of the server, but these are the rules as I see them, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done it before, but only with an ATi card, I don't know what card he has, but there's a setting in the ATi try for what you'd like to do with the second display. I'm just taking shots in the dark here, but if they help, great!

Thread belongs in the hardware section

+1 from me too.

It's really hard when you're trying to watch a faster driver to learn the track, and they're jumping all over the place. Especially on autocross servers, where you need to watch other drivers, because you only get a certian number of runs.

Quote from xWolFx :

I wasnt planning on making another vid, I am not the type that makes vids. But what I do want to say is:

1)When people just scrutenise you and say that your video is shit and that its so horrible that you can't watch it, it makes the person who made it not want to have anything to do with making a new video.
2)If you show off on a thread started by a guy who wants some help/feedback on improving and you just post saying my first vid is better then yours etc. Then it doesnt do anything for me either. You Demo Racer person did not post one good comment/sugestion. At least give some support.
3) Thankyou to those who said something constructive unlike that dickhead who thinks he is the best at everything without having an S2 License.
4)I hope I havent stirred anything up, and I thankyou to those who said something constructive.

Dude, don't let that little prick get you down. Practise makes perfect. I, for one, would like to see the video, and see what this is all about.

I highly doubt it's that bad. Anyway, don't get discouraged, and make another movie

Quote from Bob Smith :

Xmas edition was patch E IIRC?

I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure the MRT5 was a christmas gift from the devs

Might as well link to this thread, too
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=9980

Make this an autocross thread, hehe

Quote from AndroidXP :

AFAIK any test patches that were deemed "ok" are put in the full download.

You can find it here. The xmas edition just had a different splash/start screen.

The Xmas edition also included the MRT5
