Has anyone some expirience with this?

this is what this thread was originally about 3j

Matrox TripleHead2Go will be available for purchase at the end of April 2006. So i don't think someone here tested it till today

All I can say is that I first tried to play with Keyboard but I find it's impossible to drive very fast times with it (and I really missed the FF and that's half of the fun in LFS) and so I used a joystick instead (MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro) when I was a demo driver along time ago.

But after a few month i noticed that i got aches in my fingers and in the hand (think I just played to much ). So i used a wheel (MS FF USB) and after a week or two I improved my laptimes a lot. I think to use a good tuned wheel is just better then everything else.

It just feels more real then every other steering device to drive a car sim with a wheel ;-)

Quote from speedfreak227 :

I remember the first time i loaded up this game and watched the intro movie. it was the first game done in full polygons that i had ever seen. i knew it was something big at the time but none of my friends understood.

anyways. i've been ITCHING to see the intro movie or any of the other cut scenes for years.

anyone got any?

game

speedfreak227

I don't have the intro or scenes of the game but I loved the game (i think it was called in europe also "Out of this World" ) and i really loved playing the the 2nd part of the game called Flashback on my Amiga http://www.thelegacy.de/Museum/4354/

I can't really remember the intro (have seen to many) but i remember it was special at this time.

Quote from Frags :

We has just started the new danish website at www.liveforspeed.dk

Congratz! I wish you guys all the best with the new danish site and also thx for the nice interview

Quote from deggis :

Sad weekend for motorsport. Another death happened in Friday when a J-WRC rally co-driver died in Catalonia Rally.

Yeah Jörg Bastuck died there:

Info:
Aaron Burkart's co-driver, Jörg Bastuck has been killed on the opening day of the Rally Catalunya on Friday, after a tragic accident on the second test.

Burkart and Bastuck went off the road in their Citroen C2 during the first run of the 24.14km El Montmell stage [SS2]. While neither were injured in the incident itself, Bastuck was later hit by the Ford Fiesta of Barry Clark and Scott Martin, which left the road at the same place, striking the German as he was changing a wheel on the C2 Super 1600.

Quote from speedfreak227 :

it appears he was so focused on speed that he wasn't paying attention to the track conditions.

That's what i thought when watching it. A few others passed the crashed driver with no problem. Anyway sad to hear.

Quote from BigDave2967 :

Think of it another way, he won't be going on a majority of servers if he carries on this way. If you are just here for sarcasm, you are in the wrong place to do so.

Anyway, watch out for him guys and gals, he will spoil your race.

Here is the attachment. Replays on MPR.

The rest of the race is enjoyable to watch.

What a looser illepall

Quote from tristancliffe :

But he also told us that crackers can unload hotlaps.

That's no excuse Tristan and i don't think most proprietaries of something think the way you do.

It's like cracking a programm and wonder that not everything is working well.

Or go to a shop, steal something and then go back there and tell the owner that you will pay for it later when you got the money but you would like to let him know that his product is not working 100%. illepall

Quote from Taavi(EST) :

Well i "found" a bug, i unlocked the game with not so legal ways, and i was able to upload a hotlap on blackwood, with EVERY car, doesn't happen on other tracks tho.

BTW: i feel bad because i unlocked the game, i buying it, for that i'm sure, i'm just waiting for my sister to get home, so i could use her creditcard....

You told us all in the official LFS Forum that you have committed a crime by unlocking LFS in an illegal way (and you are not the first one).

I don't understand you guys? illepall

...Shopping online is actually safer than shopping anywhere else,....

Not if you have to pay first

Anyway online shopping is great if you got the right partners (shops)

Quote from need :

The shifter on my DFP (UK model) isn't movable. It's stuck on the right hand side.

Same here and i don't think there are DFP versions where you can change the side of the shifter freely.

Quote from Vykos69 :

You are lapped, so:

- stay on your line on straight, dont brake or lift as long as other is behind you. Why? Cause this way your behaviour is most predictable, and lapping driver can adjust to that.
- take outside line in turns and let faster pass inside easily.

DONT CHANGE YOUR LINE ON STRAIGHT IF OTHER CAR APPROACHES YOU FROM BEHIND!! THIS WILL CAUSE A MESS!

Gunn, I appreciate your c&p effort But it is actually really really simple.

I totally agree. Actually really simple if everyone would do it like this in LFS

LfS Spectator is maybe the program you meant with "saw a patch". It allows you to follow the racing on a LfS (S2) server without playing on it.

Quote from NaBUru38 :

What's "afk"?

"Away From Keyboard"
This means that you are temporarily away from the keyboard during an online game with other humans.

New Member of Development Team!

Shouldn't the thread better be called:

New Team-Member developed!

Anyway congratulations to you and your family

Quote from himself :

When I'm playing LFS I am feeling like playing small plastic toys around plastic track with plastic trees and so on. Everything is shiny, clear, bright. Crash sounds like throwing the carton box from the table <tump>. Engine sounds like an electric one from my chooo-chooo Fleishman <bzzzz>. When I have an accident at 200 kmh I have only a small deformation like the car was made with clay. It even has black someting instead of bottom texture like toys often do. The asphalt is clear all around. No sand on it, no grass, no debrits. The windshield is perfectly transparent.

... there is nothing mettalic, heavy or deadly in here. Even though physics are accurate I can not have a feeling I am controlling a thousand something kg vehicle but a small tiny toy.


I downloaded Grand Prix Legends demo. Even though track was not so detailed as Blackwood I had a real feeling i was driving a car. Things like dirty mirrors, powerfull engine gang and inscriptions on tyres convinced me about it. That small details. And they are missing in LFS.

What do you think?

I think you didn't played LFS enough to equitable judge about it. But when i first played it years ago i also thought it was crap. But then i got nice setups and saw what is possible when you train hard and have a feeling for driving.

My Advise:
Get the full version, come back and try to beat some of the fast guys and soon you notice that LFS is the real challenge.

I don't care about nice gfx or great sounds but i like to race a real sim and the physics in LFS is something no other sim can give you atm.



btw i've never seen an alpha version of a game running so rock stable like LFS does.

We do our best to win this years funniest Team awards

I first raced the demo in early 2003 and i didn't liked it. illepall
Then i totally forgot about the game.

I moved to another town and there was no DSL available so I needed something with a good netcode to play online with dialup connection and a friend said try the LFS demo, it's for free .

I tried LFS (in dec. 03) again and found out how "easy" it was as long as you have a good setup (I soon got some good setups from Macest and some other fast drivers) .

Then i played it for almost half a year and in May 2004 i bought it (thanx to GP4Flo and the chance to buy it with bank transfer because i had no credit card at that time ).

And since that i think i only played 5 or 6 other non-racing games and tested a few racing games but LFS is just the one and only.

I never played a game that often and that long (stll looking for S2-final and the next Stage)

For those who like statistics a lot (like me) I created some for this race:

Gratz and a Happy Birthday to you all

I like your new skins and i'm looking forward to the movie.

Go for another year

What a nice race but i wished i told my pitcrew to not change all 4Tires.
That costed me a place or 2.

Anyway it was fun. Thx SDRA for hosting it.
