Quote from Becky Rose :....

The bigger question is does Heidfeld experience fear anywhere near mortal levels, if not, then we might get a new lap record for the ring .

naah, don't think so,

the REAL records on the track were always owned by REAL men in REAL cars ;-), not by beatniks in ridiculous carbon rides

Quote from mrodgers :It was a warm summer evening in the US in mid June. We had been racing the S2 demo release for quite some time. The idi team was everywhere. Everyone was tired of the wreckers in demo, yet no one wanted to move back to the S1 physics, graphics, and features to race on licensed servers. The newly reinstituted CRC was in full swing. Good racing was abundant from the CRC. Wreckers would enter and immediately get a vote ban. You didn't have to see it or know who they were. You knew who the voted in CRC members were and knew you could take their word. When a CRC member voted to ban/kick a wrecker, you knew you could blindly follow along with a "press 1" vote as the CRC members could be trusted.

Thunder: Hey look everyone, it's Scawen! LOL
JohnnyB: hehehe, great racing sim Scawen!

We raced a few races with "Scawen"

NightHawk: LOL, yea right, like it's really Scawen, look, I can change my name too...
Eric Bailey took over from NightHawk
Eric Bailey: hehehe, how ya doing Scawen buddy :-)
Scawen: Good eric, how are you?
Scawen: I was just popping in here to say that I'm releasing S2 tomorrow. Look for the announcement
Scawen disconnected


Do you still have the replay of this? I believe I was in that race as well!!!!!
Those were moments I can tell you... Wow, Scawen is on! ooah, no he isn't..
But the races were nice those days ;-)

Welcome to the family, Mikey! You seem to be just another member who is faster than me ;-) that's what the team needs!

@JakG: Yes, currently our site is down due to some idiot(s?) hacked the server it was running on, but a new site will be online these days.

Maybe condoms would have been a solution...

or visiting school...

or having at least some brain

That's what would help a few fellow racers, too!

my 2 1/2 cents as follows:

Seriously you should think about getting s2 if you like the demo so much! There's much more fun on the S2-servers than you can ever have on those crappy demo servers!
It 'll seem like a whole new community to you with all those options, cars and tracks around!

If you just like the demo though, you might have to get patch V to connect to the master server.

I have much experience in being lapped, believe me ;-)
A good racer knows exactly when and how to pass!
A noob just screams around and achieves nothing.

Welcome to Lfs, dude!

There are many racers who think the blue flagged car has to shift-s instantly. In fact you said it right - the slower guy should try to act predictable (hold the line or move over a LITTLE BIT), the one who overtakes has to find a way through without putting both of them at risk.
If you're a fair driver then you'd simply wait for the blue flagged car to move away or slow down without shouting. If someone keeps screaming at you, you could also be unfair and slam the brakes while in front of him, spin out and take him with you(Don't do that, :thumbsdow this is very fierce!) You could also do that in a more subtile manner and let him pass before a hairpin - usually the guys brake too late then and eat wall.
I usually try to leave the ideal line (I'm slow, but not a noob) when blue flagged, and after I've lapped somebody I usually press my "thanks buddy"-button. That way everyone's happy!:laola:

Did you get it to work in the meantime, Sander?
If so, I could try to get some components and solder them together!
Would it be easier for you to program just one single shift light? I'd like to have that one ;-)

YES! another challenge for me here :-)

I won't sign up though because I still have a real life in which I might have to phone my girlfriend at the time she comes home (sometimes 21-22.00 "british" time :-)) and I also like to hang arond with my friends. But I'll be there whenever you might feel the slightest need for a moving obstacle ;-)

I'd say we take the cars that are already there, even out the classes and maybe stuff a FEW cars, e.g. an rb4 gtr, a uf1300 or whatever into the game. We'd have much more fun with 3 or 4 classes and comparable cars than driving all alone with everyone's own favourite über-car. You see the BF1 being all alone AND being boring for most of us now. What use would there be for a lmp if there's not a whole bunch of different ones? And those would have to be modeled and programmed veeery well (as all existing lfs cars are!).

Modding is for other games, lfs is driving!

I'm wearing my flamesuit.

thx ladies :-)

I could put a whole keyboard into that, but I think that would be REALLY confusing then

Those few more buttons are a great addition and easier to learn than it seems.

phew, that might be a little tough...

Due to the fact that newer (free) ventrilo versions are restricted to a max. slot number of 8, the fragmaster network stuck to an older version (2.1x).

You can download the client at http://www.fragmaster.net/vt/ and join a happy gang :-)

The downside might be that you'll have to install 2 different ventrilo versions which might cause some trouble... I don't hope that happens.

Well, if you want to join, then it's never too late I think! Just get on the track tonight and turn your ventrilo on. We'll be online from 17.30 CET to 00.00 or so, and still we are searching for new talents, either on or next to the track!

ATM we're having fun driving almost every combo and waiting for the next MOE season and the 2007 midweek challenge to begin. Also there is a LOT of testing going on, we will have a new website on a new server, new team skins and some other stuff we are working on.

Don't be shy, come visit us!

Sorry for telling the old stories again, but I'm just answering to an old theme here:

Take 1nsane e.g.
The game was designed for multiplayer, it was biiiiig fun and the first game I actually played online only, I think with an Athlon 1200.
In that game you could see a list of games, the cars/classes that were driven and the track afair (as far as I remember).
When the big modding wave came there were many many new servers running special cars on special tracks. Invictus (the game devs) didn't want the players to flood their HDDs with too many cars and tracks, so they restricted the max. number of these to 128. I had many of the cars installed, mostly funny small ones like the old Mini and stuff. But I could only join Servers with special cars that I had too. Some of them were made on big fast machines, so the poly count was too high to handle for my system.But the main audience of this game were young 13-year-olds, they all built their ÜBER cars, put them on some download space and raced ugly, square boxes with 11084 hp and 8 wheels. That was exactly the point why 1nsane went down.

In lfs we have (guessed) 80000 users, in the evening there might be some 500 online. If I look at the server list there are about 500 servers, so why should we allow modding cars etc.? The community would even split up more.
Today we have drifters, draggers and racers. Some like Formula cars, some GTRs and some frontwheelers.
The moment the devs decide to allow mods the community will split IMO and break apart like it did with 1nsane!

We would have non-modders, ricerfans, stupid kids with ugly 239234 hpboxes, cheaters (think of that point!), group C, 5, A, B, whatever fans, guys twho drive `70s concept cars, lawnmower endurance racers....................................

I really like the cars and tracks in lfs and I'm afraid of breaking up with the best racing game atm, so please no additional stuff here!
If somebody wants to do something for the community, there are still gadgets to be made up... Use in/outsim or outgauge and build up something as special as carribean cruise e.g.! Try to do something great that keeps us lfsers together!
Or go create a car sim yourself *g*

PS: the greatest fart in 1nsane was a modeled plane pink square!!! In game the driver was sitting on/under/in the middle of it, holding his wheel. When I asked the "creator" of this thing why he uploaded such a crap he told me that this should really be a flying carpet!!!!!

okay, let's see...

POV up = ventrilo push to talk
POV down,left and right = look in all these directions
Buttons at the bottom = pit limiter/TC
2 other buttons on the wheel = headlights/horn

rest as described below :-)

I'm so sorry I can't provide you any software knowledge, but I wish you good luck with this!

Congratulations to both of you!

We've lost a fast, fair and funny team member who will surely enrich your team in any way!!
Glad that Chris is stopping by on vent from time to time to show that we did NOT lose a good friend!
The bad thing is that I have to hold the flag for the frontwheeleers in zwr now but I think we'll race together and show all of our team members what you can get out of that crappy uf1!

show'em what you've got and good luck!
