A very big NO for adding steroids to the present road cars. Add new cars.

An american muscle car with a roaring V8, if you please. The only car class we don't have in LFS. Heaven in a straight line but hell in the corners
Would make the drag strip usefull too.

Maybe not brainless. Just illiterate.

So he was referring to those shouting. Not you. So time to brush up your reading comprehension skills. Eh, mate?

Are you using similar gear ratios in both RL and LFS? Are the HP of the RL car and LFS car similar? Are the torque curves similar? What about weight and distribution? What about the grip of the tyres?

If even one is a "no" your argument doesn't hold water.

Quote from RMachucaA :

wrong.

The fastest way is to keep the car as straight as possible, everytime you loose traction on the rear wheels, its forward motion that is lost longitudaly, loosing that little bit of speed. It might be usefull in rallying, but not road racing.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough.

I should have emphasised the fact that I ment that you have to go around every corner in a slight four wheel drift.

IIRC, there were barriers in the old BL track. And you got spectated if you tried to cut. As the track has changed in size the barriers have to be moved. I believe it's on the to-do list for the admins.

If not, it bloody well should!

There is one thing I miss on the blue flag rules.

As a flagged person how do you tell the one behind you of your intentions?
I use the indicators to indicate where I'm going to go. But I've seen on some videos on youtube and such that some times people indicate to the direction they want the following driver to go or on which side thay are going to leave room.

Is there a correct way or should I just stop using it?

There is no mention of this neither in the CTRA server rules nor in the newbie section of the forums.

Not this shit again.

Drifters go to the drift servers.

Racers go to the race servers.

Those who do both choose a server according to what you want to do now.

About the speed thing.
Fastest way around any track is a slight four wheel drift. Unfortunately this chews up your tyres very quickly and requires very much consentration so in a race you can't do that.

Are you sure that it's safe to have such a large quantity of NOS in one place?

You're right about the usage thing.

Well I'll go "earn" my gold with the XRT.

I really like the dual class system. But...

Could/should/would you make the LRF class Gold and up?

The way it's now means crappy drivers, like me, can just jump in and cause havoc with even more powerfull road cars than the TBO class. Not that I will because I know I can't handle any of the LRF cars.

Now the Gold license is just a fancy name no other gains but a refurbised forum sig.

Still all (too) good for me as I'll propably get even more points as everybody else will be racing the LRF class. I'll be gold in no time. But I will not have gotten any better as a driver

Quote from NoPistons :

yeah, right, I did the lift under yellow for a big crash, and 3 people went blowing by me like I was not there, which under any sanctioned race condition would get you a big fat black flag. it would be nice to know that under yellow, people will use more caution.

You did two things wrong.

1. You should have started from the last position so there is nobody to pass you.
2. You lifted too much.

But yes passing under yellow should be penalised. Would a report to be called for?

Would like to have kept it that way but Tweaker seems to have added me to his ignore list before I could send him a PM. Real mature

Would be cool. Has been suggested before.

Unfortunately he seems to have switched his PMs off, so I'll answer here:
Thank you for your message. It seems you have some issues but I wont go there. I still think all the whining about incidents is really stupid. You should just keep your cool and report it. That is what the report system is for.

Happy new year to you too.

I like the XRG best. Because it's easy to control. The XRT is a bit much for my skill and the GTR cars scare me.

But I like the challenge!

Quote from JO53PHS :

If you avoid all the 1st corner crashes and madness you can usually make up about 5 places (depending on your position)

I once started 17th and managed to make it to 8th by the end of the 1st lap because loads of people crashed

This works really well especially on the South City tracks.
Just remember to lift a bit when you see a yellow flag.

That's one small step for LFS. One giant leap for LFSers.

Ofcource! But we were talking about jedis and ninjas.
Chuck Norris is way beyond them.

I too found it quite annoying when the silver and up drivers took all the point positions on Race 1. But still I did manage to get the Silver license. Granted it took me over 6 months.

What you have to remember is that the Silver racers might just have gotten the new license and not be comfortable with the faster cars. Or they might have good friends there and want to race with them.

But if you are solely racing for the points you shouldn't stay on Race 1 after you get silver license. Even I've managed to get over half the way to Gold in just about a month! And now we are talking about propably the slowest driver in the whole CTRA! You just get so much more points than on the Race 1.

Doesn't it seem strange to you guys that JeffR is spouting on about the clutch not being realistic but at the same time uses an unrealistic controller setup?

Steam is a stupid and slow way of distributing and playing online games.

Hopefully LFS will never have anything to do with it.

Yes you can drive on the drag strip, but without a car with huge slicks in the back and tiny cartwheels on the front and humongous power it just isn't drag racing.

The oval is a track as any other (a very boring track but nevertheless a track) and we do have the BF1 and FO8 which are kind of close to an indy car (the american oval openwheeler). But there simply isn't anything close to a drag car in LFS.

PS. your VHPA, which is awesome, has trouble loading patch Y sets. Says they are the wrong version. Any updates coming?

Try contacting Michael Jackson.

That's the one thing the devs have made a real mess of in LFS.
Why include a drag strip and no cars to drive on it?

I'm don't find drag racing intresting. But some people do.

They should have left it out completely or made a car to go with it. Now the strip is just hanging there like a loose end with no real purpose or use.

Untill patch Z.
