Race Report

Great stuff Falke. Bring on the next round !

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I think I have to drive 1 more hour of this race, but not for a few hours yet.

Lucky Looks like bean0 may have overslept, Fuse said he may have told him the wrong time he needed to come back.

Looks like im back in the car for another 2 hours then

EDIT: Bean0 is back.. thank god

Damn I go to the toilet and I just missed some amazing action. *As Fuse told me*

So not really sure of what just happend, But said something about car 155# hit him off or something.

!? what a great time to leave

Ok 2nd time in the car now, just did 2hours.

Since Fuse had a DC with his pc crashing, bean0 re-joined with a fresh car. Both me and Fuse found the car different in some way...
Fuse got a new pb with it and I was hitting really fast times and the tyres were perfect.

Funny thing is the set is no different.. bean0 has put some sort of vodoo power into it before going to bed lol

Has S. "I need a poo" Williams fix his rather bad connection.. yet!

Its very hard to make a pass on him in that first 3 stints I had.

Shift Light Indicator SLI-M

With the help of GFresh

But I really hope it arrives before the 16hours race.

Thanks Deko, shame you were managing the MoE. Was looking forward to your expert running of the league

Not that the guys didn't do a bad job, They did it perfectly

Ah well, I could write a hole essay on this race. But I won't so here goes...

From practice till the qualify I felt me and Reintjan had a good chance of getting into the super pole shootout. After changing some settings on my setup the car felt great and after the practice I felt that I could get myself near the top 6.

But that wasn't so, I stuggled to find my lines in T1 and lacked the confidence in qualifying. I put in a so-so time but was very surprised with my teammates performance and very please he made it into the super pole shootout.

In the race I knew I would have to get ahead quickly to make my strategy work, I tried to keep my tyres warm in the formation lap and kept good distance to the cars infront. On the green flag I went for it starting in 2nd gear I had the engine power I would need to sprint past the lead cars.
After getting into P4 after T1 I was pleased but knew this wasn't over until I gained an advantage or the other cars had incidents. Once we were 8 laps in the car felt amazing it could only get better from here, my main consern was pushing too hard too quickly.
From the point that the first set of cars started pitting I felt it was best to leave my stop till the last moment, this way I could push like hell on the new set of R2's. I made a clean stop and got away with only 8secs between me and the car behind. The race was on again, I was hunting that fastest lap time and felt like nothing could stop me until... I got a bit caught up with a lapped car, I made the pass in T1 but he didn't leave enough room and it was a close call once I made it past.
But going into the uphill chicane of turns 4 and 5 I made a mistake the car went mad as the lapped car was about the pull back past. I gatherd the car up and shook it off, from there I still wanted to push everything out of the car and pull ahead with a large enough car I could be happy with

But to finish 1st from starting 7th i'am very please there is no doubt about that. My only wish is that my teammate didn't have engine trouble which got him stuck with a heavy battle for 4th, 5th and 6th.

Thanks again to the NDR team, I will be back for the next race and will give it my best to try and get a good possition there.

@no one - It's Pettigrew btw, But thanks all the same.

Ok, I hope this is not already known.

But after sitting in the Driver menu I saw that the LOD reduction on the cars was lowering the detail on the cars viewed in TV mode.

I have all lfs options at max and the Dynamic LOD reduction set a 0.00.

After asking others and the fact that they saw the same it seems this seems to be bug.

Quote from TFalke55 :

tire change will stay compulsory... (before there will be missunderstandings there will be a version 1.061)

Ok, but I really can't see where that is placed in the rules :P

Quote from TFalke55 :

... I will announce it tomorrow... sorry... I totally forgot to upload the new rulebook (new because it will tell you about the tyres)

Thanks Falke

I hope the rules are what I expect

I just want to say I can't wait for friday.

But im very interested in what you had planned for the tyre issue. I've been trying to find one of you guys on ventrilo but no one seems to be around, ever.

Its very clear that R1's are not going to work for more than 3 laps *at best* and R2's seem to even struggle around this tough track. So I really do hope that you have spoken about this and found a nice medium for us

Bring on friday, good luck all.

oh ok thanks Jack, well I shall try to pop onto your ventrilo. Theres a few questions I wish to ask about this league.

Hey, seems this page is not loading.

Would be nice to have it fixed as I need to post and ask about something.

Thanks. TF

Quote from senn :

NFS has some serious serious bugs to be fixed (stuck on start line, can't use advanced tuning properly, cars bouncing off the track like they have no shocks) etc.

Won't be playing again until EA gets a fix.

You will proberly see a custom update/mod before EA do fook all.

I have not tried the latest in the physics updates but the 1st one I tried felt great, Ok there is still the front skipping issue. But setting up the car in a different way may help.

Gotta love those seat covers

Two new mods for the game just in

Tobias Kluge has released a new mod for Need for Speed Shift, getting rid of the fictional trackside objects that spoiled Shift’s tracks for many sim racers.

http://www.virtualr.net/need-f ... rack-objects-removal-mod/

The mod will enable gearbox, engine and tire damage for enhanched realism. Furthermore, sharp objects will now play a part on car impacts and tires can fall off.

http://www.virtualr.net/need-f ... hift-damage-mod-released/

Little bit shocked on the 2nd one, Im really going to have to try both these mods

ok, well I wasn't keen on trying those mods that were released a couple of days ago. But thought what the hell I can always replace the old files, although I do have to say ... Wow

Now that is some improvement on the original files from the game. The cars feel more realisic atleast, as for the blur adjustment so far i've gone with the lighter version and not turned it fully off. In my opinion I do like the small amount of blur you get and once you have all the racing info turned off it looks great.

So I went ahead a tried the evo first off and found that pretty good, still had the overall 4wd grip but had understeer moments that put me off track or into the barriers.
Since I do love my S2k I really want to give it a blast around the Nordschliefe, and first off people who have driven this car with Stage3 upgrades know how crazy this car is in the normal game. But YIKES it's like a monster now with the mod, I love the wheelspin you get all the way to 4th.

So while driving I found that the game is much better for drifting without having to be in the stupid *Drift mode* drift events. It's very much controllable without being just plain stupid, oh look the car has locked into a drift without me doing much.

Heres a video

Quote from Bose321 :

I don't give a damn about LAN or mouse support, I want PissX to be removed.

Well im really happy about the Lan, me and my brother can now see who is better at drifting and cruise the Nordschleife together.

As for Mouse support I think its a good addition, but they could have done soo much more with this patch.

Whats your issue with PhysX? I love the graphics and have no trouble running it lol

Quote from Bose321 :

You didn't detect my sarcasm, so you're the idiot.


As for the game, any news 'bout a patch?

Yeah the patch is out today, bloody hard to find *at least for me*

This patch will add LAN game play and greater menu mouse control in the menu interface.
