well it is very Orange (arrows f1) so not red easy to distinguish from other teams...
The NA community while supposedly big is frustratingly smaller than a lot of others, getting good races going and a good server is tough stuff. EAGLE racing being one of the better ones in NA and MCPolice's crazy angry Bot server...we'd like to add an alternative- oh and Noobs welcome. it should be a good place to learn racecraft and such-(even if I am guilty of the occasional side swipe in the past-drifting out of corners and such-Sorry JETHRO )
Finishing races is priority-as they say to finish first-first you must finish.

Perhaps this has been suggested, but a key or such that tells you what track you are on when you start, i seem to forget for whatever reason...
i start ASNAT and i wonder AS3 AS4? or South City, um SOcity Sprint, rev? SoCITY4. So City 3 what the heck?
so when you press PB key why not say "Your PB at (INSERT FULL TRSCK NAME) is 1.XX.XX"

oh yes i looked up the card tweaker in my PC and found only a two set up
however it seems three can be hoooked up or more as long as the resolution is set porperly and the option to extend the desktop across the field is selected.
I am not about to buy two extra monitors to find out though

well it works very well on GPL and Vroc
get a standard track (Silverstone GP, Spa, Monza etc.) and how many will be released? GTL has had a very controlled track release and every on eis on the same ones. Perhaps LFS can implement a DevThumbsUP rating to have tracks listed as Official- if more than 2 people make Nurburgring, and the devs or a team as assigned get to choose the final version, with LFS proper logos added and the seal of approval. It is an extra step but this ensures 1. Quality control, 2. devs don't get overloaded by the work by having an assigned team for track submissions (and ofcourse the team would be dev chosen)
3. a standard dwonload location i.e. LFS web site for approved releases, and patches.

so how do you set up triple monitors?
my card supports three- (9800 ati 256k)
but physically
do they cable into one another, or all into the tower?
i have not looked into this but i think i want to now

I find you can adjust the driving style for a FWD car with a locked diff and make it frighteningly fast. True a proper set up differential would work best but it is the braking (coast) setting of a diff in a front driver which make it a bear if wrong- the car lifts the rear and woooop
spin.
the lockeddiff simplifies much of the racing, as the driven wheel now are very predictable the behavior is no longer variable. in LFS it certainly works for me.
Turn in later than usual and hammer down through the apex out and you will be cookin around the circuit.

in real life it seems that a locked front diff is madness- but i know of a few front drivers (outside of drag racing who do this)
the car in the attached pic runs a locked front diff- it does the FIA border series (a weak touring car series on the mexico/california border cities- mostly street races and some mexican cicuits)

Different drivers can get away with much, and rules can allow for FWD AWD and 4WD compete equally (WTCC alfas vs. BMW- the Alfas certainly do the right job quickly) Ford Mondeo any one BTCC? fast as any comer for sure.

hi all I repair my ABarth skin for the UF1000, and made a UFR version
I also made a Swedish racing UF1000, UFR (based on Dan jepsson's design.) sorry about spelling.
so here are some previews of the UF1000's and race versions are included here.

after going through all the cups in GTL i find the wonderful big GT's in LFS are a treat to drive. fats and just be gentle.
squeeze the throttle,, easy, on easy off.
LFS really is the best game ever (most cars don't have the crazy GTL body roll thank good ness)
very racy cars- Bring on open cockpit prototype and a closed cockpit, and 'classic cars' and really three cheers to Scavier (this should cover all three right?)
you guys are the brilliant Wizards this world needs.
Whatever you bring to LFS will be spectacular- ofcourse i hope our suggestions help
ahem Supertrucks

lotus cortina or Ford Falcon
somewhere at fernbay green..or westhill, or aston
if LFS had any of those cars....i think it would simply rule, even real tracks.
the physics is so superior to any other sim, it seems that we can race better than wnything,...

yah i don't or havent played in 2 or 3 months
i drive GTL mostly now, and i am still disastrousillepall... i can't win the pole in amateur mode (i did 3 times) out of 179 races?! but i have won 178 races...
but in LFS i was able to grab pole, and even against other people
i love LFS, but the single player stinks mostly adn the multiplayer well, there are never anyraces on the West coast of NorthAmerica...i have seen O ZERO Zilcho racing live...
and i lost my love of it (conversely GTL has made me a wiz racer at 100% Ai in F1C and its mods) but alas my first love LFS is not what it was...
no live races or servers, no fun....

right it doesn't hurt to ask- that would be great...i would start with historics though...
then on to the production type racers.. but the big GTs are great as is although if the headlights on the FZGTR were round....

the grip is the most lacking thing for the LX cars, even if they are powered well to weight, they still have hard ice covered rear wheel, curbs send them spinning, shame...
but how to balance the grip ion the LX and the tight control, versus the other rear drivers...or is it still a matter of bad grip modelling?

this is a new one to me
kind on or off topc- why are so many wheel (momo's) tossing up on themselves?
who lets toddlers come and break them? or is it that everyone races 12 hours a day?
i have taken mine apart to keep it clean now and again...
i don't mean to start a fight
check the motor temps (infrared pyrometer) and all the wires i had something chew through a wire and frayed it open- a new kit from logitech fixed this- long letter and sob stroy to them...

No novelty!
it is a real very fierce and awesome racing to behold.
Truck racing is as novel as Nascar Craftsman Trucks and see how big that has become- it is as novel as Vintage racing and Hillclimbs, and Touring cars(grocery getter going racing?-but WTCC-BTCC STCC are so cool arent't they)
i would like to see formula ford type open wheelers and pre war brookland or Long race (bugatti t35, Fiat mephistofeles, Miller and ERA racers) first but FIA super trucks is too cool dnot to try.
ever try Mercedes Benz Truck Racing Sim? they are very cool a challenge to drive fast, and oh the understeer- NO the Drifts-No the back wheels in the grass and spinning- ack i went from 1st to 8th- 2 laps later i am up to 3rd hoping to catch up by lap 20 to be #1
truck racing is so intense

AGAIN! the cries of the many for FIA supertrucks ring every where
from the Cab over flat nose (or COE cab over engine) to the long snout frieghtliner of the 2005 championship Team Buggyra and the old caterpillar type. these two are soooo needed
can you tell i am a fan?

well then the idea of all official tracks comes to life-
Tsukuba- a great sprinter , for close racing
Silverstone, Donington...Contidrome, lausitz, Avus....This will never end- Watkins glen, Road america, Bathurst-Mt.Panorama. Oran Park, Thruxton Brands hatch. MilleMiglia, Rouen, LeMans-lasarthe, Norisring-good city scuffle, SPA!

so a list of driving tracks should be out there and poll undertaken by the LFS liscenced to see what would be worth paying for.
Nurburgring of course. Do historical tracks need payment for them by modern versions? i.e. Avus 1930's- pre 1980 Nurby? some of the old distance races....

yes slow slow- but perhaps a 55hp rear engine rear drive Fiatesque 500?
or simply make the UF1000 a 90 hp car then?

I rather like it- this track has the GP feel of a real track, looks and all the off camber bits - the last chicane is bullocks though, you come screeching to a halt, which is okay but every car there seems to twitch to some side and it is just maddening- i can not see the line there at all, the other corners hint at where you should go- but the last turn there before pit in, is just bonkers poo.

oh on the "Roval" note- infield road course bits i always find enjoyable, They can be fun for whatever reason, they alway include a good flat fast oval section...
lets see KY infield (what is it Nat?) is quite fun and races there are always good, in real life (daytona being a real bad roval) there are good tracks which should be exploited, Rockingham looks a good one and long, Lausitz is certainly a fast and pass opportunity filled circuit, Phoenix isn't too bad, Homestead-Miami is actually nice and is FIA approved as well, and the Claifornia Speedway Roval is a biiiig good racer too. The tracks generally are flat, so many yawns aside, they are very textbook and hence good for so many levels of racers, and these are very busy tracks too, with heavy braking places, slipstream areas and highspeeds. they have so many good features, what is the down side? length or flatness?- a track is a track, eh?
