I'd sure like to try racing the RB4.

This thread has gone all mushy. We need more arguing!
Anyone notice the lap time? Looks like 1:44.something... IIRC my standing start laps on the old BL1r were in the vicinity of 1:35 or 1:36 with the XRT. And I'm slow.
Powersliding, atleast all the definitions I've heard before this one, is accelerating hard out of a corner and letting the rear slide. That is one form of drifting. Drift Bible calls it power over.
Drifting is not just show drifting. You have to remember that.
Yes, 90% have the attention whore syndrome.
I find nothing more disgusting than people who threaten to kill themselves. I believe it's more stresfull for the friends and relatives to live in fear of the suicide than in the aftermath.
If you really want to kill yourself STFU and
And before you all say I don't know WTF I'm talking about I happen to know both kind of suiciders. One friend of our family killed herself by walking into the sea. No threats just a note. Ofcourse everyone was a bit shocked but she did what she wanted to do.
Now a friend of mine had a "friend" who used to call him and threaten to kill himself. My friend always tried to talk him out of it and was all stressed out by the calls.
Now which way is more selfish?
One thing that noone seems to be able to tell me is: Where, or when, drifting becomes "gripping" or "gripping" becomes drifting?
Is it a certain slip angle that differentiates between the two? What is that angle? Because you can't turn a car without slipping. If you have set up toe to have a value different from 0, you can't even drive straight without slipping.
I get the fastest times in BL1 with the XRG by letting it slide through corners. But only a little. If I have to counter steer I loose time. But if I drive like that on a server with the drift point InSim I get no points.
About Initial D.
In the anime, if you watch the whole series, you'll notice a shift in focus from drifting to being fast. This is best noticed in the last races of Stage 4 when our heroes go against Kozo Hoshino and Toshiya Joushima.

About the moisture.
If some of the water is in liquid form when the tyre is cold and as the tyre warms up it evaporates. Then the pressure is increased even more.
Even if the temperature wont reach the boiling point of water in said pressure the water liquid and vapour equilibrium state does change according to temperature.
Whether there is enough moisture in a tyre to achieve this I don't know.

Some of us are pretty darn good. But I wouldn't go as far as calling it divine.
Har har har! Ain't I funny!
Erm. What excatly are you trying to say?
So you are going to keep away from these forums for over a year?
That is good news.
Do you have a reading disability? Just asking because you said in the previous thread
Why, for an example, didn't you just edit your suggestion in the previous thread? Why make a new one? Does it make you feel big? Strong? Butch?

Friction between the molecules of the matter.
Yes, all heat up. But the amount differs.
Depends on what you mean by "amount". If both are rods of similar dimensions and are bent to the same angle and back the same amount of times then the metal will heat up more. But if you put the same amount of energy into the bending process of both of them then it is a whole different story.
You can try this at home with a piece of copper rod and a small rubber hose.
But be carefull not to burn your fingers on the rod because it can get pretty hot if you bend it fast enought.
Why the heck did you make the same thread twice?
Air temperature inside the tyre, temperature of the rubber carcass and tread temperature are different things.
LFS F9 display shows the air temperature inside the tyre and the temperature of the rubber carcass. You can see the tread temperature by clicking on some button while the F9 screen is displayed (can't remember which button).
Now if you lower the air pressure inside the carcass it will heat up more. Raising the pressure will stiffen the carcass and it wont heat up so fast. Less deformation.
I'm no expert on tyre physics, but it does sound plausible that the tread has to work more with higher pressure inside the tyre and that in turn would cause more heating. Whether this would make a significant change in the whole carcass temperature I doubt.
Quess I have some testing to do... Now if I only could remember what button to press to get those tread temperatures..

And quess what kind of an idiot bumped up this P.O.S thread after it had been dead and forgotten for almost a year...
A ricing drifter.
Way to go! You sure are making a very strong case in favour of drifters.
If there are non in the Leagues & Events section then how about starting your own?
Yet another scooby with loads of powAh... seems the only thing it can do is burn rubber. A bit meh if you ask me.
Only if they model all the possible drawbacks too.
Well, I've yet to see a valid idea posted to an old topic ridiculed.
This user however picks up a three month old argument and continues it.

What some of you rim fanatics are forgetting is that different rims have different physical properties.
I'm all for the idea of adding stupid body kits, 22" bling rims and surfboards to the cars, just as long as all the physical properties they have are added. Like more drag, more weight, effing up the cars aerodynamical balance etc.
All this will take humongous amounts of time to code. So I hope the devs will keep on perfecting the physics engine before thay add all these stupid nonrace abortions to LFS.

Nothing new there. We already have the red and white barriers which give the same effect.
I believe touge is a Japanese word for a mountain pass.
Idiot drifters who want to sound cool to their like minded friends use it to describe a steep road with multiple hairpins.
A mountain ring road, on which you could do continuous laps, would be nice.
A search feature for the forums would be nice too... Oh wait, we already got one.
