if theres an excuse use it ! , yeah it only goes on standard online because otherwise hotlapping charts would have to be reset with people not being able to get anywhere near the WRs

Quote from lawdog :

Oh, I am. I should have made it last night. I was monkeying with my setup and by tightening up the diff I was able to run consistent low 1:44's while practicing. So I went over to CD1 and, thinking I'd found the magic setup, promptly tried to find those extra couple of tenths by overdriving the car, braking later than I should have and getting on the throttle earlier and harder.

I don't know what I was thinking. Of course, I just ended up having a couple of glorioius spins, overheating my tires, and generally being slower than normal. 'Twas embarrassing. I'll be online shortly again, with a cool head this time.

To be honest, though, CD1 is usually clean, if you put aside the mayhem that ensues at the start. Once everything gets sorted out, people tend to drive reasonably. Anytime I'm starting to get angry about the racecraft and manners of people on an S2 server, I just hover my mouse over the "Demo" button on the Display List of Servers screen, shudder briefly, and then think to myself "you know, maybe these guys aren't so bad."

if u were doing low 1:44s on single player mode that would be the reason you are still slower online, with some cars getting added weight u will be slower and on a track like AS Nat the weight is gonna be a big issue with long straights so that may explain why you were quick then suddenly slower online.

if u normally drive with auto clutch, try pushing in the clutch and selecting the gear

mine seemed to get worse though, i had it so it was 270 degrees to the right on my desk but ingame it was like at 0 deg lol

i had trouble with my wheel losing centre after hard driving...i took it back to the store and got it swapped for a brand new one

awesome, what a compliment to the devs, the best sim a race car driver has driven

Quote from wsinda :

For the "test drive" lessons there are no target times. You can only score "OK". (IIRC)

In lessons where you can score "QUICK" or "PRO", you will see a target time on screen before you start.

this is correct

Quote from Plastik8 :

Shaun, this is a new feature since W9, basically the server can have arcade like reset (Resets position, tyres and damage), or no reset at all..... Scawen wants the majority of sim servers to have no reset option at all. Unfortunately there is no middle ground (No position reset only).

ah k, cheers for that

i noticed in mp if u reset the car u get rid of damage and tyre wear, like in single player

with nvidia u can set the duals to clone, but i guess u have ATI otherwise u woulda seen that?
edit: didnt even read ure post my bad i see u do have ati not sure sorry

i was in the same boat as u, just find someone u know with a credit card, pay them cash and they order for u, done and done

being a demo racer i doubt u ever will unless u buy S2 (talking to Blingy) i never have either but im in a different timezone from the devs

well i will speak from experience racing against chaz
www.australasianleague.com look at the hall of fame, every series he competed in he won, one series he only did one race and he won that race too..although he drives with a joystick..i heard he broke 3 momos or something so he just uses a joystick and yeah he isnt a hotlapper, in one race i did with him it was like 50 laps at as nat rev and he got very close to the WR on his race set! and no mistakes or anything..this guy is insane

cheers will give it a shot

hey i recently formatted because my main hdd fried so yeh didnt lose lfs or anything like that. get into windows set everything up, open lfs unlock it as usual all is good. next time i open lfs i had to unlock it again..used my 2 keys, now the day after (today) it wants me to unlock s2 again what is going on?

he was just on an aussie server, i thought he was running the BF1 how fast he was catching me on the straight, thought i must be seeing things, then next race i saw him pull away by miles on the straight and someone was speccin saw him @ 292km/h, he also really sucks because he was blocking me through slow sections lol

me and my cous are both using the same tweak on a private server but i get an error tryin to join saying that cars dont match...how does that work?

i noticed when i fired up lfs it even registered me as not having s2 unlocked

this pic is cool

Do you use both LCDs for LFS?

the line in the middle is annoying, i think i will just use 1 monitor, i was just being greedy thats all, the line only really affects the braking point if you use the ground as a braking point its hard to see but using board and stuff its not that hard, also the apex isnt hard to hit
