Ehm...

That's the setup I use

Check If you want to because I don't really understand much about all the setups - I'm only 15 right now.

Most of the time I race in 3-5 lap servers. But it doesn't make any differences to me. Except Tires gets f***ed up after few laps

Quote from danowat :Nothing really wrong with that drive, I've seen much, MUCH worse from much more experianced drivers.

Your setup needs work, you should be able to do 10 laps in the XRT without pitting no problem.

Ehm maybe it asks for work. But I'm not really the guy that knows how to make it better :-)) I got it from someone else and I liked it. So I'm not really after changing it to another setup :/ or updating current one.

:/ What's wrong with the setup?

Woooop wooop!!!

Just achieved new Personal Best Time with XRT in blackwood while I was racing online in a small server.

1:26:16 (I think or 17) (on the last lap 10/10)

Yippiii one step closer to 1:25.. damn I wanna be good at it! And I'm not - it sucks, cool guys manages to get 1:24 :[

There's a lot to learn for the younger ones - no need for 'em to be rushing to get full LFS - S2. They will just 'cause more problems in S2 by driving a fricking fast XRR's when not knowing how to steer XRT.... Just an idea

:-) Thanks for advice . Never thought about using a joystick like that.

Anyway they cost pretty much the same so I'd rather get a steering wheel with the pedal thing (costs around 20 quid cheap ones -'trust')

I had one of those ages ago - when I was playing need for speed Porsche at the time- pretty good for that price i would say!

Eh... now i remembered time when I used to play Need For Speed 1... or even Grand Prix in DOS ))

You can't remove XRT just because of newbies getting crashed with it.

I love Demo LFS - Though you have to choose good servers carefully or even make a private one only with good drivers or people you know quite well and aren't crashers.

having three cars and only one that actually looks more like a car (xrt) Is a bit better. 'cause then you're actually forced to learn the only track and the car you're driving - you're not shifting between 'em everysingle day. And S2 gives maybe too much choice (well to me) It's hard to get hooked up on a car or on a track because all of em sucks and I really like blackwood. Seeing everyday your improvement - even if it is milliseconds makes you want to play it.

It would be fun to have LX4 as another car on Demo - though I'd be still driving the XRT anyway until I achieve 1:24 =]

XRT - LX4 and maybe XRR are my favorite cars in LFS (but mostly XRT)

Quote from CodieMorgan :I guess this shows how much offline time I spend on lfs lol! I have another one

+ Not important: If an AI wins the race, it should do a fast victory lap if fual allows, then drive to pit! Just for realism, but not necessary .. lol

If everything was done just as you said - I believe the rating of people playing online would drop twice

Obviously there's a little chance that AI would cause an accident in first turn or wreck your car - even though wrecking humans car would add some realism too! (just kidding)

Quote from ajp71 :A turbocharged engine doesn't perform well if you're constantly on and off the throttle, try to make it that once you put the power down you keep it down until the next corner, also being much smoother on the throttle rather than jabbing it will allow you to balance the car much better.

Right... But I'm using Keyboard and mouse for driving it so there's not much choice than just ON or OFF :-)

I wish i had a steering wheel =]
Ehm I suck... [driving tips please]

Heylllloo dear people.

I had a long brake at LFS before, but started playing again - of course i forgot everything but anyway :-)

I attached a SPR of my PB that I just did - it's the second lap - ignore the first one 'cause the tires weren't warm yet.

Before that I used to drive as clean as possible - no sliding at all , not even a little and so ... but then i tried to let it slide a little bit on few corners and i won 1 second immediately - of course i could've made a better time but can't be arsed driving again and again right at the moment (almost midnight)

The thing I want is, could anyone from here gimme some tips or watch the videos and tell me where I could win some more seconds in the splits or whatever?

Better drivers often get times like 1:24 so by that I lost 2 and half second in one lap :/

I read your post clearly.

I mean, why not? It would give a different character to AI.

Quote from gohfeld23 :While I agree that AI needs improvement in terms of awareness and speed, I don't think we need a complicated setup as suggested in post 1.
LFS shines online. IMO, spending too much time on AI is better used to improve other things such as tracks, car modeling, scawen's physics changes, etc.

Dude AI's werent improved since S1 as he said (i think) its nae fair to forget that there are people who likes to practise offline - without getting wrecked cause of others. Or internet reasons ;] and others too ! it would be useful to practise offline if AIs were good enough

Definitely faster AI's that would be equal to decent people laps.

And the guy above made mostly all points you could come up with.

Also I'd like to have a option when doing off line race that PIT STOP is necessary - if I'm doing long race or whatever.

And yes again - when you're driving side by side with the AI it fells like he doesn't see you and just keeps driving whatever line he likes or even pushing ya

Quote from CodieMorgan :I know how you feel after trying to race 20car grids off 56K for 2 months

Huh? Most servers on demo are max 12.
Though i prefer going to servers with roughly 6 drivers there - (safer)
two months? - actually two weeks but who cares!

youre confusing me..

Quote from CodieMorgan :The LFS AI can't do jack S*** right!

Hehe, the problem is that at the moment im on dial up after moving to another flat. And broadband aint changed it's address yet.

SO I cant play proerply on internet because Ill cause a crash cause of the lag.
And i cant play offline because AI's totally sucks. so it kinda gets boring ;-0

Quote from The Very End :Hmmm?
You are jealous on what?

On you have all kind fancy servers :-)

on demo even on good servers with two admins watching the race anyway everyone will get wrecked by someone

There aren't a lot people that understand that you have to be a lot faster to overtake someone - or know what you doing very well. Cause often you get people coming in the turn to overtake ya and just pushing you or block your way - not doing it properly
