In patch Y I held the wr on AS2R/RB4, with 1:13.08. Then the spanish community had a league race there and was hotlapping the combo like crazy. Only 3 persons beat my time, and of those 3, 2 were using button clutch. The one that didn't did a 1:13.02 I think. The other 2, I believe arrechee did 1:12.5x something, and Zanini 1:12.77. Needless to say I was quite dissappointed, and decided to try and see how fast I could go using clutch script. Well, I did the excact time as Zanini, 1:12.77, a whole 0.31 sec faster than my normal lap!
Don't forget that with button clutch script, you're also reaching top speed faster. So if you loose a little in corners, you make up for it on the straights.
As Worm, I will be posting a comparison hotlap later, where I'm going almost at my full speed potential, with and without the script.
Well pecholobo, at least you seem to have the decency to have stopped using it. If so, kudos to you for that.
About the others, the sad thing is that they also use it to gain advantages in your internal Spanish leagues. I'm pretty sure that most of the other contestants have absolutely no clue about it. Sure, they're probably fast without it too, but this way they are pretty much guaranteed to be at the top.
Too late, already deleted my hotlaps.
I'm not the fastest, or most natural talented driver, not by a long shot. Hell, I'm just an old guy trying to keep up with alien teenagers. Some of the wr's I've set, I've worked really really hard on. Sometimes hours, sometimes days. I learn combos very slowly, and totally forget how to drive them after a couple of days if driving another one in between. My reaction is very bad, so I'm either too late or too early into corners. So yes, I'm a bit offended when someone do like 3 laps using unfair methods, and beat my wr. And on top of that, they use my setup (which they got from Phlos wr set collection) without permission. If they beat me fair and square, then I have no problem with it.
Don't really understand what you're trying to say here, but your actions on lfsworld says it all. You don't like my views and think your methods are perfectly ok, so to humiliate me you go ahead and do what you just did? Well, congratulations! You are superior, and others and myself have no chance. I guess it's time to quit the whole hotlap business. There's no point doing it. The system is flawed. If it ever gets fair for everyone I might be back. Until then it seems like anything goes, and I sure as hell won't be part of it.
And btw... why did you choose the UFR to do what you did? Why not the XFR? Could it be because button clutch doesn't work in the XFR? Geez!
I can think of a few others as well. Also from Spain go figure...
Well, it's maybe not a cheat in its true sense, but more like using it to gain an unfair advantage. Really makes the whole hotlapping thing pointless when someone comes along using it. If they are fast to begin with, it can make all the difference between 1st and 2nd place. Remember, I'm talking about hotlapping here, where every hundredths of a second counts. In racing I don't think it makes such a big difference, since other factors plays a role too.
That said, as long as someone beats my wrs fair and square, I won't use such a method trying to get it back. However, if they do use such a script, then I might do it too in order to reclaim it.
Anyway, if someone is blatantly using it all the time to gain advantage over others, they really don't deserve to be respected as a driver at all.
Nah, I wasn't a drifter. Pic is of the new owner in a failed corner drift. When I had the car it was fairly standard. Now it has upgraded turbo, fmic, bigger exhaust, larger injectors, Z32 afm, stronger clutch etc.
My previous car (Nissan 200sx), and my current one (VW Golf). You see were this is going? Yes, I'm getting old. But the gas prices also have some role here, and the current car being diesel, uses a lot less fuel than the old petrol drinker did.
Victor, can you update the url for the BOTT userbars? The site where they used to be seems to be down forever, so they're now located at http://www.cyber-racing.org/files/bottub/
Make sure first that the DVD drive really is busted. If you have a bootable disc lying around (Windows, Linux etc.) and it boots fine, then it's probably not a faulty drive, but more likely a problem in Windows. Anyhow, replacing the drive is a straightforward job and shouldn't require the technicians to boot into the system and go through your stuff. Only to check that it works. If you're afraid of them seeing particular stuff, just do an attrib +h on the folders before delivering the laptop for service, and attrib -h when you get it back.
If you really wanna hide it, use something like TrueCrypt to encrypt the stuff.
There's quite a few that's been using mouse/kb for a while that can do 1:33-34. Really fast keyboarders "only" are rare, but mousers are more common. Most mousers I would think uses a combination of mouse/kb. Like mouse itself for steering, mouse buttons for throttle/brakes, and keyboard for
upshift/downshift/handbrake and maybe clutch. I would suggest lowering mouse sensitivity and remove acceleration in Windows if using mouse, that will make it more easier to drive with. There's some more hints in the following thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12336
