Quote from S14 DRIFT :Ehh.. I feel demoralized. :hide:

Me too, but only because once I read the line "if you don't see it, you deserve it" and looked in the background first, then I noticed it, they forgot to cut the umbilical chord at birth.

Go take all the WR's with your secret ARBS then.

Count how many fast hotlappers there are, then count how many of them you've had bad experiences with, then have a read of your post.

That's like saying all school teachers are bad because one of them called me fat.

Quote from TagForce :Oh yeah, I've met plenty of fast drivers in LFS, and some of those are actually good, too... But being fast doesn't automatically mean being the other. And practicing 500 hotlaps doesn't make you a better driver, just a faster driver. Which of course makes it easier to win.

Exactly why I specificly said for Boris to choose a combo at complete random, so this eliminates the whole "500 laps of practice" bullshit.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Second, i don't think one driver is better then the other if he spends 70 hours a week fidling with setup, finding glitches and practice 500 HL's in a day... that's just robotics.


Easy way to sort this would be for Boris to choose a combo, tell someone to join his server and then set the combo he chose, then he can proove his theory.

Quote from Not Sure :
My point is that I would like to race with realistic setups WITHOUT it being a disadvantage. If you don't see this as an issue, that is fine too.

LFS is supposed to be a simulator, remember?

Since when was using locked diff an advantage? If it was such a big advantage then everyone would use it, but they don't. Even in MoE race, quite alot of teams used clutch pack (I know we did)

Boris, how do you know all of these fast people who make setups don't have any experience? Why don't you go drive one of Norbis setups?

On the note of realism, I used to drive a corsa, which is somewhat similar to the XFG, if the XFG handled like my "realistic" corsa, I'm pretty sure the only people left driving it would be on the Cruise servers.

Unrealistic setups are only as unrealistic as you make them. These so called un ealistic setups your on about may seem unrealistic to you, but to the person that made the setup, it will feel great, because they like it.

What i'm saying is when I make a setup, I don't think about all the people who would like more understeer than the setup provides, but I make it so that I like it, so that I can drive the car on the limit and be able to keep the car on the road. If you don't like using faster guys setups, dont use them, just because these guys drive faster than you, doesn't mean that their setup is faster.

'Not sure', what's the point in fixing something that isn't actually the problem? :S

Also, what's going to make it more realistic and closer? I'm not opposing the idea of the restricted setups btw, i'm just questioning the reasons.

Erm, what kindov bugs are you on about? The last bug I can remember was the high nose bug, which was in patch P or something....

I agree with the road cars though, but the scirocco is like the guiney pigs you were on about, i'm fairly certain that when it's released the devs will think about limiting the setups for other road cars too, if it's a success ofcourse.

Quote from bunder9999 :ah, the corner squeeze... i always pondered the "cleanliness" of that manoeuvre. the other driver technically has room, but it doesn't give much room in case he bounces off the curb. (and into you)

i guess that's the idea though, scare them into lifting...

Not quite a squeeze, but you just take as much room as you are given, in this case running slightly wide early on meant I could get as close as possible to overtake, Lucky for me I was raicng my now team mate, Fox, whos cleaner than Mr Muscle.

Was the only way I oculd overtake him though, I remember that race, was behind him for about 20 mins!

My new car, got it a couple of months ago, had it reprayed and got some VW alloys for it.

'98 1.4 E, pretty much the lowest version of the Mk4, but it's a rather nice step up from a corsa though.

Quote from zeugnimod :On the top left next to the youtube logo, there should be a link to the English version. Don't know if you already clicked that or if that works. I guess it won't.

Thanks, those two options for UK and English were both 'Chinese' symbols, but I just clicked them now and i'm back, why thank you kind sir.
My Youtube is Japanese... :S

Yea erm, last night I noticed that any youtube video I went on, it had all these funny Japanese symbols flying around, now when I go to youtube it comes up like this too.

Even when I take out the tw it reloads to the Japan thingy, as you can guess, my Japanese isn't so good to work out which button to press to get it back.

Cheers,

I have a mk4 golf, 1.4, complete heavy steaming turd of a car, but wth, I still enjoy driving it.

On a single hotlap the scirocco wont be much fun at all, but give it a full grid with everyone on tarded setups i'm sure it would be quite fun.

Though i'd rather have waited for a car like this and have finished interiors, breaking body parts or rain, something to add soemthing to the game, rather than a car to boost the online ratings for a few days.

Actually, I cheated in the last mission of GTA3, I used a tank.

I can't remember having all that much trouble with the driver games tbh, and when I first got Driver I was rather young... :P

Though, "The getaway" was quite a hard game, I got to the 6th mission when I first got it and gave up after a while, then stopped playing it, then came back a couple of months later and eventually completed it.

Kick ass game though.
