Quote from Vaneo :I need to set it before race. When I press F12 I want to say like Lewis: "Stop talking to me while I'm racing" I don't always do that in F12 menu in time before the green lights, so the only option are straights. I need to read more about scripts - had no idea that there are some for these types of actions.

Was Kimi who said it... Malaysia 2009 (?)

The best, is change it at once, at 2 special places: Biggest straight and Pit entry...

Some improvement ideas (to make forum better)

1. Always read the Suggested improvements log before create a thread
2. Know that unnecessary things are unnecessary
3. Be sure about what you will sugest, maybe it already was implemented

Quote from loopingz :Is it 400 or 450?

I refer to http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Cars

At real F1 they use a special 450º setting for monaco, but there is not this option at LFS...

Nice video, different from the conventional Drift videos, but you could have chosen a better soundtrack, or left the natural sound...

Quote from Hamst0r :
Seriously though is the latest version slower becasue of updated physics, taking all the wing off should not make top of the range setups faster and more stable.

Its not about "more" or "less" wing...

First, look the BL1 map: 2 long straights and fast corners... You need low downforce for it...

Second, it looks you still have low control of the car. So, if you put lowest downforce, if you look, it will be 4 in rear and only 1 at front. More grip at rear, so you will oversteer less...

Quote from racer autov8 :For everybody who has this idea, go try drag tracks

The VW Test Track, it more like an Oval with a Autocross on the side than a straight...

Also, the corners are not so fast and wide like Kyoto...

The only way to drive with no problems in demo, is:

1) Drive fast enough to be far from bad racers.

2) Avoid the bad racers.


At T1, from 6th to behind, will be a complete mayhem... You need to find a good line to avoid who spins at exit and avoid who goes wide.

If you are in front of a big pack of faster drivers, they gonna hit you, maybe not on purpose, but because they want to go faster and need to pass you.


Its racing things, you need to be fast enough to be far from crashers, and for dont disturb the race...

Also, people gets irritated too, and drive aggressively. This is hard racing, people wont get you all the space, sometimes being unfair...

All that i can say, is: Happens. Even at top categories like F1, Indy and GT...

Quote from Sobis :Yes, AI are bad indeed, because they are fixed to one racing line and they follow it.

You should first learn the track in offline mode and have good times. Then you should go online and practise with other people how to overtake and if something goes wrong, dont forget to say sorry. Thats what I did.

[2]

If you wanna be good, practice online, not offline...
Offline you can restart, restart, restart and restart when things are bad.
Online you learn to deal with pressure, consistency, backmarkers, choose line for T1, etc...

Another video with nice music but just cars drifiting...

Always the same thing, cars seen in the ground level, drifting, with a nice music from background... I just watch those videos to listen the music...

If was anything like Fast and The Furious, with drift like a race or a competition, ok, but its just cars drifting, in same angle, every and every video!

Its needing any tipe of different idea, anything different, like a drift competition, onboard drifting, anything...

Quote from Weasley123 :A safety car goes out while another car flips the cars involved in the collision back over and escorts them to the pits to be repaired?

Normally the cars doesnt flips so easily...

At Indy, NASCAR (Indy and NASCAR im not sure) and Daytona Rolex 24H, the rescue team brings the car back to pits, so if the damage is not so big, the car can be fixed and come back to race later...

Would be better the Oil Pressure as something related to Engine Wear and Overheating...

Like, when you drive a long time in someones draft, the engine starts to overheat and the oil pressure goes up (?)...

Quote from SavageCorona :Live for Speed would be brilliant if it had police chase game-modes. The idea I had in mind was this:

You drive around the track as normal, only one player/team are in police cars which are LFS cars but with police skins (excluding F1 cars) and the other player/team are in normal LFS cars (excluding F1 cars) and the police either have to crash the other drivers or stop them in another way. Ie. Surround them in team-mode or hand-brake turn in front etc.

LFS is a Racing Simulator, not a Need For Speed game...

All what you suggest is present on NFS World, NFS Undercover, NFS Carbon, NFS Most Wanted...

Quote from StompyChar :Hello Everyone

I've recently found this game and have been enjoying it very much, online races.

But one thing has been bugging me: I keep loosing the backend of my Formula BMW

I'm not a total nebie at setups and know the basic gist of things...but I cannot seem to control this car out of the corners and I just keep loosing it.

Is there any tips people can throw around for me to be able to power out of the corners like allot of other people online are able to.

Practice, practice more, more, more, more, more, more...

When you get bored, practice more...

Then practice more...

And you will be able to do 1:14 easy, then you are "not so bad" like me and other drivers... (depending of your talent)

Quote from amp88 :Setupgrid or Setupfield.

I have to disagree with you... Most good setups I got on the track, calling to other users.


I recomend the OP, to ask sets to the good drivers in the server, specially the ones who drive with the same controller than you, and store a lot of them from same track.

Every setup has a different feeling, some understeer in corner X, some oversteer, some has a good control, and there you go...
