Couldn't BubbleGum technically be considered a championship. :o

lol, don't feel left out. My drift set on SetupGrid has over 1K downloads, yet no one I know or know of has used it.

I'd assume keep the tires flat so you're not rubbing a single edge raw, and be as smooth as possible. Keep high pressure in the tires so they're reducing friction also might help,

Why do we need all the extra LFS Hi-Res textures, or why did we even get good car models in LFS, Astroboy?

Quality and preference.

So what aroX is saying is that just because the original founders meant it to be racing, means it better be racing ONLY? Come on - in that case, we probably would still be using the wheel on stick-made buggies and towing them by hand. Seriously, it's not going to kill anything.

Off-Topic: I'm wondering why you guys have such a hard time with the whole drift/cruise, but the guys over at Forza embrace the new trends and gladly try it.. here it's like the Crusades?

And he's about to "pwn" you and your Jamasian English.

Perhaps if you look at it as making topics for Racing, Cruising, and Drifting instead of Racers, Cruisers, and Drifters? Different categories that could be used to talk about techniques and the like would be nice - it gets cramped away. It would also keep this forum from looking like a Mexican Gang War in Los Angeles.

This one has caught my attention, mind zippin' it over my way?

Quote from ghost racer :

I think nascar only uses 4 gears.

Some, they'll use a variety of gears. But regardless, it'd be a nice change to be able to shed a little bit of weight for a little more 'oomph' on the smaller tracks - agreed?

Amazing as always Lynce, now I just need to make myself a skin and helmet to match! Great job as always, loving it.

Or another thing, try removing the deadzones. That hassled me alot when I had my Saitek gamepad. (And first time setting up the G25.)

Quote from only.one.RydeR :

The reason they gave the FZR an H-pattern gearbox is for class balancing. Being able to change transmission would just disrupt that balance.

I read this when patch Y was released.

I don't think it's too fair that just a simple switch that they put in a NASCAR game for creeps sake couldn't be implemented for the sake that... you do not need 6 gears on Club or Cadet.

Not too sure, I'd ask a 3D Guru here on the forums.

I'm not too sure if this could fit in with the "new car" idea, but how about being able to switch out transmissions? On any Cadet/Club races I don't need a heavy 6-speed FZ5, but a lighter, 5-speed FZ5 would be just fine.

I actually quite like that for the RB6, it looks wonderful! (Can I make a skin for that? )

Quote from Breizh :

There's not much sense in putting a light and compact engine like a rotary in almost anything else. Not only would it be redundant to put it in a frame like the FZ's, it wouldn't be as fun.

And why not? Your post made absolutely no sense, if you put an engine that can rev high, sound beautifu, and perform differently than a Inline or V, then why not have it?

Quote from nihil :

And Lonsdale is a big brand with German (and quite a few other European ) boneheads... because the middle four letters are NSDA (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei)

I don't think symbols in themselves have any great power; they are merely vessels for whatever belief you want to pour into them. Their power (to offend, to move, whatever) comes from the concentration of belief invested in them.

Over here in the UK, displaying the confederate flag means your social skills are likely to dwindle the further away the topic of conversation is from some daft, Hollywood myth of "The West".

Or you are a Dukes of Hazzard fan. In which case we all know you are really thinking about Daisy Duke's arse.

But wasn't that the best part of the movie?

Something tells me the racers refuse to let us have one.

That IS still very cool, can't get over that insane stunt kinda thing ya got going on.

These are a far sight better than mine, I will make use of these! Thanks for the share.

Superb, that's one way to put it. I love how you used the TV - perhaps you should make another Youtube video to show how you do all this?

Sucks for demo users, guess they get used to it or buy a license. :P

Yes yes - but what sort of engine for the 4WD FZ5?

Quote from tristancliffe :

You take offense to facts? Blimey! I wasn't even rude... Fiesty? No, I was reitterating what I said before, in a clearer fashion to correct any misunderstandings.

Mumbo Jumbo? This thread is about drifters wanting a rev limiter that bounces more (I think). This will NOT help their drifts, because the limiter with remove all wheel drive torque. The best way would be, as you say, to use decent gear ratios, but sadly most drifters don't think [like this]. The second best option would be a quick gear change, that might halt the drift, or it might just about recover (depending on speed of shift and ratio gaps).

As to your reply to "Why to drifters miss it", if you read some other replies you'll find a post saying that "drifters miss it". I was replying to that.

You'll probably take offence to this corrective post too, but I couldn't really give a damn.

I don't take as much offense to this post, the main thing that insulted me is that it's always "Drifters."
Yes, you are right, but I find it offensive that you make it sound like EVERY drifter is the same as the bad eggs - personally I don't enjoy them either.

And yeah, it does suck pretty bad that alot of people that drift do choke their engine like they choke their chicken, but hey, what works works. Like I said before, as long as they don't get in the way - no biggie. And I think what they mainly meant was a limiter that did this:

Something that gives you a sense that it isn't just a dead end.

Quote from tristancliffe :

no, you shouldn't shift AT the redline, and you shouldn't shift AT peak power, but between the two (how far between depends on ratios and torque/power curves).

Why do drifters miss it? Do they like hitting the rev limiter and having their drift suddenly stop as they rear tyres become undriven? Or is it an image thing - they don't care how the car performs, as long as it looks or sounds 'cool'?

I take offense to that, that was only a misunderstanding and you shouldn't be getting so feisty. I don't see where you're getting all this mumbo jumbo, some may sit there at 60 miles per hour bouncing the redline in 3rd for a smoke show, or because... hmh, shifting mid-slide might kinda FREAK with the whole thing? I personally don't, I adjust my gears so I can hold a slide at around 4-5K RPM's, I don't sit there and strangle my engine. I'm not missing -anything- here, I like to race and drift, and sometimes I mix them up for some fun. But whatever, if somebody does it and they don't get in my way, I'm fine and dandy - so what's your big problem with it besides being on a constant Crusade against drifting?
