YAY! Long live the thread about... erm... something or other.

And can you quess what kind of LFSer bumped this one...

Damn I feel young. I'm only 30.

Quote from mcintyrej :

the tracks are crap.

How can the tracks be crap only on the Race 2?

Besides if you want the Race 2 to be populated then why the hell are you on a Redline Racing server? Go populate the Race 2. If you join others will join too. Atleast that's what has happened to me every time I've joined the Race 2 server when it's been empty.

Sorry for stating the obvious

The reason you want to change AFTER the torque curves cross is:

You start slowing down the instant you disconnect the drive. No matter what gearbox you have, or how you change, there is always a short delay before the drive is restored. The car decelerates(sp?) during that time and if you change at the cross over point the RPM will drop below the optimum for the next gear.

Now, if you "over rev" it and change after the cross over point the RPM is right for the next gear to provide the maximum acceleration.

IF the gear changes were instant and the drive wouldn't be disconnected, then the cross over point would give the max acceleration.

The amount of over revving depends on the time the drive is disconnected and the deceleration of the vehicle.

C-3PO perhaps.

If you want the DVD then www.play.com is a good place. That's where I got mine from.

I would check the wheels too for damage. Also you might want to check the alignment.

I LOVE THE BEST FUN, LFS. LFS A WINNER. LFS THEY NO PEOPLE PAYING CUSTOMER REAL MONEY PAY TO PLAY! WELL NO. WE CAN SAY NO PEOPLE LOSS IN BUSINESS LFS IN THE WORLD $$$$. PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR MONEY AND THE LAST YEAR OR SO TRYING TO GET A WORLD RECORD, WE JUST CHANGED THE RULES FOR THE GLIMMER OF THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR FOR HERE AND NOW

Maybe that is his point. Took out all the babble that wasn't in CAPS and tried to put in some punctuation.

Do you know anything about racing?
Do you think that Formula 1 still has the same cars and rules it did 50 years ago? How about Rally? DTM? LeMans? Touring car series like the BTCC?

And for the record, I don't think they changed the game so that they'd get more shiny dollars. They changed it to be more accurate.

Yes please.

Looks like an '80s movie.

PS. When did we get the 60 second timer on posting?

About Finnish - Japanese funny stuff.

At one time we had a foreign minister... or was it prime minister... by the name of Esko Aho.

Esko is a man's name in Finnish but a woman's in Japanese because it ends with "O".

Now aho is Japanese for crazy.

So our minister was a crazy bitch.

I think that's a pretty accurate description of the car in question.

Quote from Ilpav :

As I said, each car should have their own slider that goes up to its own limit. For example, XF GTI has a tank that goes up to 45 L, so the slider would only go up to 45 L. If you choose the Formula V8 with a tank that holds 125 L, the slider would go to 125 L. Each car should have their own slider.

It would be a waste of time to make different sliders for all the cars. And if it wwould be a general slider then you couldn't adjust the amount of fuel in the smaller tanks as accurately.

A 45 litre tank is a full tank whether it's filled up to 100% or with 45 litres.

@Gekkibi
That would make things a bit easier for those who have a set for every track. And different sets for qualifying, short races and long races.

pasibrzuch, you can't beat tristan in an argument. So get over it.

Emergency brake is Notbremse in German so the E on the dash of a German car doesn't mean emergency. Besides that same light comes on if there is something wrong with your brakes.

"Moto" means this kind of vehicle to me. Atleast we call it a "moto" in Finnish.

Let us say the I was "A".
Why the hell would I want to spend my LFS time checking and adjusting your fuel and stuff? And why can't you do it yourself?

I don't think it differs much compared to falling from hitting one of those red and white barriers of interstellar travel.

Modern cars are fisher-price. Just look at them.

The air in the inlet is not any colder then the air outside the car.

One example.

lol plastic boots and bonnets? Doesn't plastic melt when you leave it over an engine lol?

If plastic inletmanifolds can hack it why not a bonnet?

You are supposed to get the grant BEFORE you make your conclusions public. Now it's free knowledge on the net and noone is going to pay you.

"Them!"?

Too big clue.

Them! it is.

Very many new cars have their body panels made out of plastic.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Not completely correct, getting the amount of detail LFS gives us would be a very tricky task, considering how in RL you'd only be able to measure surface temp, whereas LFS also gives us info about the rubber core temp.

From the surface temp and the air temp inside the tyre you can calculate an aproximation for the core temp. It's not spot on but gives you an idea.

Is it too difficult? Need more clues?
