That was good footage mate. Nice stuff to see.

Does it really matter?

Quote from Tweaker :

Bumps don't make a great track, the LFS tracks just need better designs for driving. Elevation changes help, but even a flat track can be incredibly good if it is designed right. After a while, I find many ways a lot of the tracks can be designed better to improve the driving experience in LFS, as well as making them a whole lot more technical when pushing on the edge.

There are too many fast corners that don't take much effort in LFS, and the few corners that are slow and require precision are always the best for racing (eg Turkey's last chicane), like Fern Bay and parts of South City. If we just had tracks catered to being like the classics of LFS, but made for bigger cars, things would feel a whole lot better. Else the S2 tracks just lack character and uniqueness with 'legendary' type designs.

Simplistic corner designs, that are very basic are too common these days. Nowadays we are seeing much more radical and interesting shapes of corners that really push the way of thinking for the designer and the driver.

Though most modern tracks look very geometric and have neat designs, I'd much rather take more classic approaches to track design that are evident in a lot of earlier circuits (50s-70s).

Example: Circuit Charade (Vid), Mosport Park (Vid), Rouen (Vid), Zandvoort (Vid),Bremgarten, Dijon (Vid), Circuit Mont-Tremblant (Vid), Road Atlanta (Vid), etc. These kind of curvy tracks, built in hilly areas are always the best. Watch YouTube vids of these tracks, they are great.

I Agree 100% with your whole post. It's something ive always thought about LFS.

Ugly as hell... Designed for the american market and at least at this task they didn't fail.

I think this car is even worse than the 2001 - 2002 Impreza with the round lamps

IMO, thats the most ugliest WRX ive seen.

The FO8 is the best looking SS car in LFS IMO. I think maybe a touch around the engine and read, but dont dare anything at the front. Even leave it how it is, i dont think it needs any touch at all. Other then the FZ5, its the best looking, sounding, feeling car in the game.

IMO, the road version looks crap, but that WRC version looks awesome!

The LAM scheme will allow novice riders to ride moderately powered motorcycles with an engine capacity up to and including 660ml and which do not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne and are shown on this list.

Eligible Motorcycles in the category 0-260ml.
All models with the exception of:
Suzuki RGV250
Kawasaki KR250 (KR-1 and KR1s models)
Honda NSR250
Yamaha TZR250
Aprila RS250

Eligible Motorcycles in the category 261 - 660ml
List is too big

Whats funny is, the RS125 has a power to weight ratio of i think 160kw/tonne, but its legal, so don't really follow that restriction. For 250cc, it says anything except the five bikes in that class.

I was first interested in the Aprilia, but in this thread its been said they are good/ but need alot to be maintained etc. The yamaha looks really nice and i might be tossing up between the yamaha and the ninja now.

Also to answer some questions, im going for a new bike, not used. Plus ive (well my brother, but i can use) a Yamaha WR250x which is a dirt bike, but im looking more for a road bike. .

I'm going to be getting a bike around late July. Il be a learner rider so obviously I'm restricted to alot of bikes and i thought id leave a thread here if people can help out in which is a good bike to get.

Ive been researching abit and narrowed down to three bikes that are good and that i like. Id appreciate it if anyone can help me out here .

Three bikes ive been looking at:

Aprilia RS125
http://www.aprilia.com.au/rs12507.html

Kawasaki 250R Ninja

Honda CBR125R

If anyone has a bike and rides one or knows a thing or two, let me know what you think.

Thanks.

If he wanted to test the game, why would he be already be using cheats, and where would he get them?

I don't understand how this works. So your mate tests LFS. Out of no where gets a cheat in LFS without you knowing and has a go playing LFS?

I smell burning bananas....

Just maybe, i think you would have slight more chance telling the truth here.

F1, CCWS, MotoGP, Nascar, V8Supercars, Le Mans, Karting.

Simple list .

LOL got me laughing mate.


What was the original title?

Edit, i see its gone back to the original title yes?

lol

Ive read the posts and understand everything, but is there any sort of setting in lfs or ctra or anything at all to stop my connection from cutting me out when the weather changes? My connection is fine with track change and new races, but as soon as weather changes, i time out.

If not, thanks anyway

Awesome stuff Scawen! First time i think ive posted in a test thread, im not a bug checker, so im pretty useless to you, but just a thanks from me .

Found on the website, looks cool, but i think it should go steeper on the G-forces. Looks too smooth.

Yes i dont understand why there is no UF1

Ive finished Zelda, nearly all the games (the ones i know of) and have been playing them when i got a game boy as a little kid. Ive loved and finished all of them on game boy/color/forgot the last one or whatever, n64 and snes. The graphics are poor, but the best game I've ever played in my life. I want a Nintendo wii + ds just for Zelda, stuff GT5 on PS3! :P

Graphics in games means something, weather you can hack it or not. But in a simulation or something like LFS, who gives a shit.

Quote from frokki :

On road cars, +1 !

+2

Proved me wrong, i agree with you . Your probably one of the only clean drivers I find on BNJ, would be good to see more in a new server.

I like this idea alot. +1.

Would be awesome to have proper bump/jump racing. Bumps and nudges etc, without the crashing and bullshit noobs cause.

But don't forget, only about 40 people in the whole LFS community have Red Licenses. If there is only 10-15 people max in the WHOLE LFS community, how many would be in the 2nd server?

Then you could say, ok, blue roof. But at the same time, blue roof is easy to get to (not for me im still on yellow roof lol :razz, but there still may be crashers or people who don't understand the way BNJ is ment to be.

Hard to sort out something good and effective here IMO. I think when more people have Red licenses, then open up a 2nd server.

And where are the UF1's in all of this?

I would prefer this, would bring better racing to the LFS servers, people calming down due to cold tires on the first lap or so.

+1

But hasn't this already been suggested?

What do you think of the new A1GP car coming to the series?

Its based on the F2004 F1 car. Is it going to be the exact same as it? I think they should change it around a bit, make it a bit more unique for A1GP as well as improve the car itself. It should be faster then the current A1gp cars or are they a1's faster? It is said to have 600BHP. You can notice a bit of a difference with the two cars compared above. The A1GP car as a thicker nose and has less wings on it. The sidepods are also A1GP's style. This is just a render, so who knows if it will be different or the same.

They will have Ferrari engines and i think they are sticking to Cooper tyres.

About the skins, Id really just love to see the liveries on a car like that. Cant wait for them to hit Eastern Creek next year!

I have a huge feeling I'm going to somehow miss sign ups!

BTW, do you need help for the website development? I could help out, free and nothing in return. Maybe a sealed spot in the league me thinks! If not, still like to help, to speed up the process..

They say the fuel companys heat up the fuel so it expands to save money and give out less litres of fuel then is really there.

Its true in Australia, some drivers even have heaters underneath the truck containers.

Makes you pissed off knowing that they charge you more for fuel. Makes you even more pissed off knowing your not getting that amount of fuel.
