Quote from Jakg :

What i'm saying is that people put far too much faith in the setup - it might make 0.5 seconds difference, but you should still be able to (physically, at least) get within 1 seconds of the WR using Race_S, it's all just down to your skill.

Jack Green, spammer (in a good way) and a part time driving god?

Quote from Jakg :

I tried going for a WR once, got close (in fact i set one 0.16 under the WR, but when i came to upload it i got a suprise), and then some fast bastard set a time 0.4 secs under what i could ever seem to get (although if i could just hook up the 2 best splits i had then i'd of been 0.2 secs off) - i was fairly on the limit. It was SO1R / FO8, where you need as much grip as humanly possible (ie Turn 1 = ~118 mph!), and yet even there using Race_S i was only about 0.5 seconds off my previous times.

0.5 seconds is a big gain, but i'm willing to bet if i just handed you my setup you wouldn't magically set those times - you might have a car with a lot of grip, but you also need the skill (or in my case practice ) to be able to use that grip.

Which all proves that setup matters, but yes, you aren't going anywhere if you can't drive. But I think that is rather obvious note.

Quote from Jakg :

Oh and ftr - it's always about the best skills - setups really don't make that much difference

If standard of skill is high, it does, trusteh me.

Holy jumping Volvos, what a bump Batman!

I think you don't understand what Albieg is trying to say here Sam(H).

Does it have any proper cars, or is it all Japanese rice cup holders?

Quote from student :

nice car indeed but i know for a fact honest people couldn't afford that car in the poor country of latvia. so either you deal drugs or pimp. which one is it?

Njaah, they just don't have robbery taxes like we.

Quote from danowat :

Lets no get into the whole, this is better than that sim..........

FYI, you can mod the helmet view with the steam version, just drop the dds file in your race07 folder.

Well, you sort of went into it saying LFS doesn't do something. I'm not here to make war though, but I don't feel Race 07 shakes are that special.

Thanks for the tip though, couldn't find any information about it..and was too afraid to ask from RSC. :P

Well...being a idiot I bought Race 07 and the whole game just feels awful, plain awful. I don't actually know what is it, but I guess it's the fact that FFB doesn't tell what the front wheels are doing, and it shakes a lot.

Few details also bother me a lot, like the fact that many cars seem to miss shift lights, and the helmet view I can't mod because Steam is evil.

On the plus side, it wasn't that expensive because the US dollar is weak.

I guess someone messed up with the ambient temperature measurements by accident...you know, it happens.

But I've always wanted to visit Paris, maybe this gives another reason for that.

Don't really want to over react to this yet. Let's see.

The greatest season finish ever. Well done, Kimi well done Scuderia Ferrari. It's all about believing like said by the man himself.

Quote from Rdcranno :

the same toooooneeee of voice

Well....you don't obviously know anything about the Finnish language do you? The stress isn't the same as in English or any other language because there hardly is any. Thus it sounds utterly boring.

Quote from Hyperactive :

I just noticed another special ability: I sometimes use karate punches to the light switches

That's nothing, I used to switch lights on or off with controlled slight kick.
Got to take up that habit again, it's a nice stretching exersice.

Quote from sam93 :

Yes I know they have a license to use mazda cars, I was just using it as an example. Maybe not put the actual RX-7 in, just put in a newer version of the XRT what has more curves, lot more updated, basically when mazda remodeled the old RX-7 to the look of the latest RX-7 what I know isn't made no more as there is the RX-8

But what is the point? New car models are made to replace the old one, new XRT would replace the old but for what? There is no reason and nothing wrong with the current model.

Instead of some curverioys updates, I would have something exciting.

Where is Uruguay but in South America? Or did you mean you are from there, but not physically live there?

But welcome anyway! :P

Quote from Bob Smith :

Glad to see enthusiasm for trucks.

Yeah, get on working with that Bob-tweak thing already!

I didn't even notice there was some sort of layout.
I guess it works then.

Quote from lalathegreat :

when i first started playing the game. i thought ok only 4 real tracks, but hey its 3 people. I thought maybe well i guess instead of waiting until its complete they can release as they go. 2 years later virtually the same content. I am getting the feeling that they won't be any new cars or tracks in S2.

Well, do'h. Content comes every stage, wouldn't make sense releasing content for free, if it can be put in S3 would it? Of course, it could be changed in a way that S3 wouldn't be about content but features, and I think Scawen mentioned something about changing the concept earlier. But I doubt such radical change happens.

The page says the first part of the competition is already over, so don't bother guys. :P

Well if I was driving a moped, I would try being bright colored as possible so people in cars wouldn't run me over. They are hard to see sometimes bloody kids.

So I suggest a pink bucket.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I need to finish my cup of tea first - I've got a wobbly desk and countersteering leads to spillage.

Excuses I hear.

Come on people! We are having shortage of racers.


It's fun! And there is pie....or not.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

an extended training section which includes flag rules and....

First you would obviously need yellow flags that work properly! I hope it's on Scawen's list right after whatever he is working right now. At the moment they are really unreliable, sometimes there is nothing on the track to slow for and sometimes they don't work at all and you get dangerous situations. Some kind of marshal intelligence would be interesting.

Tomorrow you say?

Quote from The Very End :

Now it ain`t. Rcraptor and many other racing games just pump up the growl and deep sounds in the engine, so it`s like a monster driving. I`m not fan of that, and as people above say, informative sound first, not the fancy - fancy EA racing sounds.

It's not THAT bad in rF to be honest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3AkULYBkMo
If you have been lucky enough to hear a real F1 car, you know it does sound like a freaking monster. The sound shakes the earth, rips your head off and uses it as ashtray.

Yep. SUV = fail.
