Yes please. Delete all online PBs.

all cars are a tad slower

Then why am I faster on some combos?

Since all the whining thread have this kind of comment I might add one here aswell:

PATCH Y ****ING RULES!!1!1!!!

Thank you.

Wrong, That guy was bugged or something.

Please read the others posts before posting yourself.

No. YOU are wrong. It is quite clear he had somehow managed to keep the old BL track in his install. He drove around it but as the server had the new track he seemed to bee out of bounds.

Please get your facts straight before posting.

There is a good reason for the renaming. Many programs handle spaces in filenames very badly.

Renaming your sets is a pain but because there are physics updates they propably aren't so good sets anymore.

Exactly! I wouldnt say complain, just inform.


We have the right to Suggest, Inform, Give own Opinions.

They give a top professional service, They arnt rude to us or give us 100% dates and miss them. So, we have no right to complain.

Hadn't thought about it that way. You're right though. Or maybe it's that we don't have a reason to complain.

As you seem to be buing the license anyway I will not say more about that.

Your notion is that the FBM is a bad thing for the demo? I have to disagree with that.

Now the demo is a better representation of LFS. It has a FWD car a RWD car and a formula (a.k.a. Single-Seater) car.

If you are infact saying that the loss of the XRT is a bad thing for the demo drifters. I will agree. But I don't think demo drifter are worth a fetid dingo's kidneys. So no great loss there.

What do you mean the XRT is gone? It's right there in the game.

Oh, you only got the demo. Sorry, didn't notice that.

BWAHAHAHA! Ain't life a bitch!

This is a bit embarassing but who cares.

I was watching an anime series called Initial D and thought: That's cool, wonder if that's hard to do IRL.

Googled for drifting and found the Drift Bible. After watching I though that IRL this was too expensive. Wondered if there was a game I could do this with.

I already knew there were bunch of arcade games and racing games but were there sims?

So I googled a bit for a game with good physics modeling and found LfS. DLd the demo and was amazed that you actually got the whole game in that little package. Tried it a bit with KB and found that it was really hard to drive fast (actually slow but...). Tried with a wheel at a friends place and was hooked.

Couldn't drift to save me life so tried to race. Got fed up with the AI and went online. Wanted to show my appreciation to the devs and bought the S2 license. The rest is future.

Well, they are.

Quote from AndroidXP :

generic tyre impact sound simulation (which would add physically correct rumbling to the kerbs) would be very welcome

+1 from me

The way it's now my DFP makes more sound than the tyres.

Why didn't you notice this a few months back! We could have had it fixed for patch Y.

I'm holding you personally responsible for this.

Edit: It might be easy but what would it do to the newly balanced TBO glass?

Been thinking about this.

What happens if race is restarted while you are returning to pits?
Ofcource it could be set that the race wont start unless everybody is, or has been, in the pits. But there will always be one person who keeps on doing donuts and doesn't care about nothing else.
Other solution is that you could only vote for restart when you are in the pits.
Maybe there should be a fixed time before restart. Ofcourse it would have to depend on the track and vehicle used. It would have to be long enough that you can drive around the track slower than race pace. But short enough that people can't total their car and limp to the pits

About Shift-P
I like the idea of limiting the telepit. Only situation I can think of that it would be needed is when you are upside down. Or hit one of those red and white Barriers of Interstellar Travel.
It would certainly make people look after their vehicles. Not just drive them like they stole them.

Erm... If you(singular, referring to Ger Roady) can't see the tacho I suggest you(singular, referring to Ger Roady) go see an optician. Or are you(singular, referring to Ger Roady) referring to the speedo?

How much does your(singular, referring to Ger Roady) gearing differ between different sets for one track?

Come on! You(singular, referring to Ger Roady) can't be that lazy. You(plural) have to drive through the pits several times if you(plural) are making tweaks to your(plural) tyre pressure/camber/aero/ARB/brakes.

I know you(plural, this plural/singular thing is getting to be a pain in the keyboard) can do all this in the pit screen but it's a pain to warm up the tyres again and again. See how lazy I am? Still I can manage to drive through the pits once to determine a safe pit RPM.

Quote from deggis :

I think simple temporary fix would be simply making the suspension damage like 200% more severe than it is now. Would probably need lots of testing and stuff but that would be basic idea - the damage is already there, it's just not enough punishing.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Armco of Sudden Death attacks South City!

Seriously though, the suspension in LFS can take a very bad beating without much damage. You can cut pretty much any corner as long as it doesn't have armco or the red and white Barriers of Interstellar Travel.

Since the damage model is incomplete and nursing your car such a big part of racing, I believe we will see all this implemented in the future.

Note to self:
Keep reminding people that in English "you" is both singular and plural.

Use the tacho and gear! it can't be that hard.

I know that in my set 2nd gear and below 5000rpm will keep the speed below 80kph.

What makes it so difficult for you lot? Are you stupid or something?

It takes only one bloody run through the pits to find out what gear and rpm produce the unvanted DT. Then you just keep it under that rpm.

The time you lose while driving through the pits at 75 instead of 79 is neglible. You lose much more in the first corner when you miss the apex because your tires are cold.

Why don't you want the digital speedo to show 1/10 too? Then you could drive through the pit at 79.9 and gain loads of valuable time.

Tyre model isn't finished. I hope there can be flats like you described in some future patch.

I can just image the whining that will cause.

I think your friend got it right.

Kill that Windows folder!

The funny thing is that even if you delete everything windows will run perfectly untill it tries to load a .dll file or start a program

PS. Thanks for the update.

The only problem is that after a few years no one will even remember what drifting is...

Maybe B&J should use the finishing order in reverse?

That's t'interwebs for you.

Everybody acts all though and macho but when push comes to shove they're all whiny nerds.

Quote from DragonCommando :

Actualy, 18 wheelers use drums because they are air operated. making disk air brakes would over complicate things.

Don't know how things are on the new continent, but we here on the old one have been using disk air brakes on our lorries and semis for many years.

Yes, and I want to know how the machine really works.

The reason I'm continuously fighting myself to not dismantle my DFP and see what makes it tick.

Have to disagree with you there squid.
Sex appeal increases only by 74,3%.

Have as much fun as you can.

Just voiced my oppinion of F1 in general.
