I know the true reason why Eric doesn't post here

The truth is in there

Obviously, Eric can use a mouse (and more than one imo), but it's almost impossible for him to use a keyboard

muehehehee :uglyhamme

Quote from Spiders :

Is S2 anygood?

It depends on what you mean by "good" ...

If you think it is good at taking your social life away, then YES! If you think it is good for enjoying everynight racing, then YES! If you think it is good at how real it simulates the real thing, then YES! But if you think it is good at taking corners at 200 kph or at tuzing your car, then a big NO!

what we need is a clone of the HalfLife TV... game-server > spectator-server > hundreds of spectators... this way the game-server's load is raised like only one spectator was connected...

Quote from Bluestream :

Seriously are you joking? I mean oval how fun does that sound? Weel I guess that's not my problem

well don't write it off that fast... I was also anti-oval, but after I tried, I was nicely surprised... But for me its only for fun... not for racing..

I can only agree that it takes time for a league to get more people... I started the Czech national league 2 years back with 11 racers. Time went by, their numbers increased and the last league had 75 racers singned in (68 participated at least once)...

So heads up, keep up the good work and people will come...

Quote from Seahorse :

Checked that, nope. Is there a maximum number of setups you can have?

I guess yes, because one of the lines in translation is: "Reached maximum number of setups"

Quote from janm :

I, for instance, like the keyboard ''feeling'' very much. As said in the upper posts, practice is vital to get results and also getting to know how the car reacts to your style of driving and adapting the style to the car if needed...
I'm currently only a second off the wr in demo and there are even faster keyboarders out there...I find the mouse a bit tricky and can't drive as agressively as with a keyboard. The mouse steering is a specific thing and requires spot on accuracy to get the fastest times i guess...

well i can imagine driving alone on the keyboard, but what i can't imagine is racing... how do you handle if someone hits your rear wheel or when you find yourself having to drive across curbs, etc. or you find yourself in any other unexpected situation, that requires quick and precise steering input?

I know it's not a prob with mouse/wheel, because you can steer as fast you manage, but with keyboard you are limited to what you have set in options...

Quote from Funnybear :

BTW, when do you guys use the clutch? I have never felt the need to use during racing? Is there a certain time and a place when the clutch aids your speed or handling? (I am using auto clutch.)

not in normal racing, but it's handy when you spin out and want to get the car facing the right way quickly...

Quote from Takumi_Project.d :

the answer? use A for accelerate, Z for brake, X for clutch, space for handbrake. This leaves your right hand free to steer with the mouse, and shift gears with the mouse buttons.

Excatly the set I used for over a year until I got a wheel and I can say i was very competetive with the wheel guys...

I'd vote for this to be the default mouse setting for LFS...

well in my opinion in S2 there are basically 3 types of racing:

1. leagues - you practice one track/car combo for the next event... usually there are more such people (practicing for the league), so you get to race the combo online... (not every evening, but pretty often (depends on league))

2. random public - you just pick a populated server and off you go... you race with someone practicing for another league or random people that have joined

3. everlast public - there are a few combos, that can be found I'd say every evening, server almost always populated... for example AS National - GTR class, KY Oval - FO8, Blackwood - FOX, SouthCity Classic - FOX, UF1...

i think ist a safety measure to protect the master server, because i think that every time you click on a server, the master server is contacted...

is it possible to run a dedicated slickmod server? I tried, but without success...

if not, please Kegetys, make a dedi version also

Quote from richy :

does it affect braking in a straight line at all? would i lock up at a brake point where i would normally be ok?

it affects the overall grip the tyre has, so yes, it also affects braking in a straight line...

Quote from Vain :

Let the S1-people come to the S2-servers, okay. But please don't let the demo-people into the S2-servers. I like blackwood and I like slower cars, but I don't like demo-crashers.

This is where I would like to be able to change the thread name... It was mentioned before > leave the demo as it is, only merge S1/S2...

Quote from AndroidXP :

In that case you have to ask a moderator. If they allowed changing thread names without limit, everything would just get really confusing, same as if they allowed changing user names. This is just a no-no and will never happen.

I dunno, the thread starter can change the name in the czech lfs forum and in over 2 years of existence I have never seen this behaviour that you are afraid of...

i'm here since spring 2003 and still enjoying LFS

Well sometimes things come up that deserve the thread name to be changed... Like my thread with removing the demo/s1/s2 separation, which after some debate I would like to be changed only to removing the s1/s2 separation... this is not a change to be made in 5 minutes...

Why should we bother the moderators with this, when the thread starter (in a way owner of the thread) could do it by himself...

(Or I'm blind and can't see the thread name edit link)

Quote from ORION :

works for me - patch Q

Maybe it only works if you have recorded the replay? test it guys

yup it works, in replays you have recorded, but not in replays from others...

Could please one of the moderatros change the name of this thread to: LFS nick visible in mpr replays saved by others

EDIT: ok bite me, today it works with all replays...:banghead:

wheels view a "hack"? It does not make you faster, I know that Jet_ cze does use the cockpit view (seen him drive with my own eyes) and he has some WRs (FZ GTR @ AS National for example)...

So it really does not matter which view you use... It's only about getting used to it...

Yup, the first 4 sound good...

hmm, then this is wierd... online it works, in replays it does not...

ok, not an improvement suggestion, but some kind of a glitch on my side...

Title says it all... the combo that works when online (ctrl + shift) does not work when viewing replays saved by others (it works only when you save the replay)...

I run a league where we managed to get everyone to use their real names (with a few real looking pseudonyms) to make the league look more like the real thing and now when watching a replay I can't see the racer's LFS nicks, when I need to know who it is...

Just for the curious, here is the thread about rFactor's "gravity"
