well in all racing, the track is defined by white lines on both sides, even curbs are not part of the track and their purpose is to tell the driver he overdone the corner... but as someone in f1 said, every race driver will cut the track unless there is a trench with spears...

no probs with nvidia fx5600, 128mb, detonator 66.93

the FIA GT Champ cars also have pitlimiters

the only thing you can do, is mail everybody, so that they send you the skins via email...

Also i'd like an option to disable steering wheel display ! I already see my own logiteck steering wheel and my hands, i dt need virtual ones

I know this can be done! It's somewhere option/view or thereabouts... You can turn off hands and wheel separately... The button reads something like this "Driver ON, Wheel ON".. I have both on off... so the only wheel I see is the one in my hands

if you buy S2, then when S3 comes, you can still download and play S3, use the latest LFS engine, but only access the S2 cars&tracks... if you would want to upgrade to S3 cars&tracks, it will cost you another 12 pounds...

1) yup, credits are gone
2) the voucher is a one time use only, it upgrades your account on lfs.net... after you have used it, it's useless...

yup... close everything except LFS... do not join a server... open the command line and type "netstat -n" this will show you all connections from your machine... now connect to a server, repeat, and viola the IP that wasn't there before is the IP of the server...

Vain> if LFS you try to connect even via direct IP and there is an active internet connection, LFS checks master server... so: no go for crackers... without an account on the masterserver you can't connect...

Quote from Vain :

It's mainly raising te polygon-count in the high-duty areas and changing the alternation of some polys when someone drives over them. It's a lot of brainwork to be put into it, but the CPUs are definitely up to the work. Performance decrease in fps: 0(,0002)

Vain

nope, i will argue on this... you have to matematically find out how much and which poly has to be altered and the increased poly count will do a hit on fps on its own... the physics of changable envrionment has not been seen in many games yet (red faction if i recall correctly), this is why the Ageia Physics processor has been developed...

yup good idea (real live changes) i think it would not be hard to implement, but imo we don't have the computing power to cope with this yet...

Quote from 180sx :

so you have to press ready to join the grid.
if you dont ready it up and the admin get sick of waiting if he goes ahead will the non ready ppl not be in grid ??

well there are two buttons to press... the join race button, which is in the upper left section of the screen (where you add AI in singleplayer) and then the green GO/ready button in the lower right corner... what i suggested is that the admin would "click the join race button for the player" ...

so if the player doesnt click the join button and the admin would get sick of waiting, then yes, the person would not be in the grid...

ok, there is a possibility for the person to get to the place he shoud be even if he joins last (clicks join and then always clicks on the person above him and swaps position), but some people just don't get this... it's even common that people click the ready button instead of joining the grid, so wanting this kind of "advanced" clicking is just too much for them to handle...

in the czech community we also have a professional racer who plays LFS... Jardier aka Jaroslav Honzik Jr. and he is pretty green too :alien2:

E: Used my l33t PSP skills to draw a highly scientific 100% real illustration

yup, your scientific illustration is right... only to make it clearer, it is a view from behind/infront of the car

Quote from ORION :

This works only for hosts, not for admins, doesnt it?

that is quite possible... I know that it does NOT work for admins...

Quote from 180sx :

Good idea but i think theres gotta be a way to dectect afk'ers. and if they are afk then the would not go onto grid.
i have been in many event races and had to wait to join in appropriate grip position. but if the admin picks the grid the afk ppl would be sitting ducks on race start

nope, making the grid and clicking on "ready" are two separe things for people to do...
the idea is to remove the waiting that happens when I start to arrange the grid, two people join and the third is afk, so everybody has to wait till he comes back, then I can continue to arrange the grid... usually after the grid is ready i give 3 minutes break, then everybody has to click on the green "ready" button and the race starts only when everybody IS ready...

Quote from Goop :

Instead of doing the organizing on the left, like with AI races, do it in the middle - i.e. after racers have clicked join

the idea is that the racers would not need to click join... the admin would do that for them...

We definitely need a rwd nonaero race car with slicks to compete with the XFR/UFR... This is what i really miss in S2 I'd love to race in this class but sorry, for me fwd just sucks...

I think it would be good for league admins if there was the possibility to "build" the startgrid in the pre-race screen. Now you have to call each driver by his name and wait till he joins (and sometimes they are afk so everybody has to wait). Clicking someones name would add them, the "-" would stay as it is now and add an up/down arrow so that you could move each joined racer.

... pls delete this ...

It is not that you can't have more HP, the thing is that more HP is useless since the tyres can't put it to ground...

I think he means that people vote (and pass) a restart on lap 9 of 10...

well throttle imputs would make the rpm jump up... not down, below the idle rpm....

Congrats! I wish Leo good health and to the parents that he will make you proud someday!

Just after the bridge after crossing the finish line on the left... see pic... (on the road, left under the mirror)

When I finished the race, some time after i stopped, the whole car started to shake and it looked like the engine ran on 3 cylinders... you can see in the replay what the rpm did...
here you can only see the rpm do wierd things, but when it was live, the whole car shaked pretty quicky (like 1mm up and down, very fast...)

Quote from bbman :

Even then, the seller is still able to play (online as well!), as long as he doesn't lock LfS again (or the buyer is playing)...

nope, if the buyer changes the game password, then the seller is only able to play offline...
