The FXO needs more weight for sure , , more reduction in tyre width im not so sure about as it is nigh on impossible to keep cool as it stands at the moment on some track layouts.

The RB4 and XRT however are shaping up nicely which is reflected in the Hotlap table and in my experience of racing online.

I just started work on the XRT rank, one thing for sure its still a bad ass car to drive, some tracks are hell
FE2 is driving me insane at the moment (hotlapping)

If i had my own server capable of hosting 20+ id suggest a Balance test for experienced drivers in TBO. (10 min races+ 30 min races)

I would say the FXO has to lose perhaps 0.75s-1.00s (max) per 1 minute any more and the FXO would never catch up off the start.

Havent got one anymore, used to have a cat, he was 18 years old when he died, a week ago

Sad to hear, hope you find another friend soon

Heres my feline friend, old picture, but captures her usual mood well.

no i mean in LFS , just make another driver

A much easier way is just create 2 driver profiles , one for road , one for formula , that way you wont have to reconfig everytime

Its not so bad although Gee_AL would be a little more cooler

Just like add to above post and vent a little more anger, really is kick in the teeth for the hotlappers that work on a WR (trust me it definately feels like work sometimes) then after achieving a decent honest time, to have someone do the same old tricks and cheat his way to WR again.

Its been said a few times already, yes you can hit walls and get away with it , sometimes thats just a tap, or a mistake, but this guys exploits it every time.

/rant over

sorry

SO4r RB4 ..... same dude same tricks .....................

Failiure is somthing id like to see with the engine, it would make it even more difficult then it is presently.
But how do you code this in, it was noticable in S1 the degrading of power in the engine, more noticible then it is presently imo, the popcorn noise was the sign of a slow death.

Search is your friend http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=11421
I think you find if you get in say the XFG or any car and go from 5th to 1st youll see

Quote from [The.O.C] LaughingGravy :

After your disgusting comments towards a female racer on a server im surprised to find your allowed on the forums let alone any LFS server.

Please theres no need to keep flaming him, please can we keep this thread on topic

Speaking of which i had an idea for this thread, maybe some sort of hotlappers report/diary, time will tell if this will come to light.

keep it positive

Phew Hard work this hotlapping stuff
Been interesting battles going on, and certainly feels wierd having no biggie around to scare you from doing a combo.

Michel Denham leading mostly, but e2mustang seems to be countering



Only another 908 combos to go ......:eek:

Quote from Victor :

you can beat me now

Hotlaps are open again. Good luck!

^^^^ w00t

Anyhows , i wonder who will be top ranked this time tommorow
any bets ?

Seems Victor pressed teh Big Red Button.



Good luck all Hotlappers

sorry if that wasnt you, but your taking this too far. your just making some kinda of mountain out of a molehill.

And they also race in a different timezone richo, different name just when abbrieviated its the same.

This thread i seem to be hostage in or am duty bound to be objectively reasoned with judement and opinion.

ok so bla bla > nasrat

nasrat btw i seem to recall banning a few times or kicking and making server private during my days at dSRC.

I even had to leave that server , i was enjoying a limited HP race/qual session. Enter nasrat > for last 45-1 hour min + going on on on about this. And then brings it to the forums.

I bet majoiry of people never heard of this small SCR team ?
SoutherCrossRacing [SCR] being the freindly team they are , im sure wont force anything like a team name change, there hasnt been a problem for this team before why now , because of some person with noting better to do. (as he/she said himself/herself)

I rest my case gentlly for now.

:feedtroll

Im on this server right now.
I cant see anyproblem they are not pretending to be Southern cross at all.
A poor attempt at trolling both in forums and on the server.

Sad to see.

Thanks for the heads up Victor, now all i have to do is beat Worm Flotch Eza and Bratwurst in FXO rank (halp!)

Kancel by Design i think most would agree that the FXO easier car to drive , it should not be penalised for being naturally "better" or "easier"

However you want to put it FXO might be untoubable on a hotlap but what it has in speed it has lost in stability. A few "hot" laps and thats pretty much all it can do, so far in my testing. It is Difficult to keep pace with XRT once tyres are cooked , and keeping them competive is not a simple task. So to compensate you quite litteraly have to drive slower to keep up

Quote from MarioX :

These may look minor, but are still noticeable while going fast through there:

Ageed was just about to post this glitch/error

i think the main reason locked diff still remains so popular is the stability, its very predictable.

Id suggest looking at your set gearing ratio, and listening/feeling for slip in the diff.
i have g25 and i use both manual auto clutch. Both have difficulties to overcome when using.

FXO and XRT and RB4 are the same as always perhaps at a different pace for now then last time.

FXO fast again (but is suffering with the front tyres ALOT)
XRT can hold off FXO but is approx .3 .5 seconds per minute slower on average ive found, the clutch is also easier to melt on the FXO for me.
RB4 feels faster but thats perhaps distorted perception :drugs:
