Really it was a shocking display!!

Anton just ran to the machines and quickly played with the settings when they werent looking

Its sad to say it, but if i had never raced LFS or any sim before today and had tried it and GTR2 at the expo today....i would wait for the release of GTR2 and prob not think of LFS again.

We met up with someone who looked a very promising driver but has no internet at home, "Enjoys all racing games" he said and so showed his skills. We asked him what he thought and he said no the experience wasnt that good. But then we told him the good side of LFS, a quick breakdown of it all and he seemed more interested. Problem is there was no way we could do this for everyone at the show. Oh yes this is the guy in the video shaking his hand at the car loosing control because of the "LFS wheel shudders".

Those idiots running the stands really irritated me though with there "this is how LFS is and I will ignore what you say from now on" attitude illepall

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

I imagine it went like this:

1) Micha ingests some sustenance of questionable nature; I suspect fungal
2) Micha proceeds to play LFS.
3) Micha selects Aston GP / GT whichever it is
4) The thing in his picture appears on his screen; proceeds to extrude itself from his screen, and tries to bite him in the nose
5) Subsequent to initial shock reaction & probably a guffaw or two, he realizes the circuit looks like the sea monster that tried to nab his sniffer!
6) Attention span for LFS falls to negative range and rather than risk another attack on his nose, Micha decides to put his artistic ability to work and share his new discovery here with all of us.

LMAO...sounds like this has come from experience, you got any art work BBT?

No thats Aston GP not GT...and no im not on drugs

Sad news to hear such a well known and respected team leaving the LFS community.

All the best to all the drivers in the future

This is pretty popular at the moment with the GTR cars, there is the Masters of Endurance race this weekend so there is alot of people practicing. Just have to be up for rather long races and not the usual sprint ones but it is alot of fun none the less!

4 years....WOWness!

I'm one year 2 months woohoo

Yeah its just incredible how far LFS has come and the outstanding commmitment from the devs, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LFS!

Looks Great Tweak!! Nice work!

Yes Annabelle races oval, but i have raced her multiple times on Westhill and South City tracks.

She doesnt just go round and round in circles all day like some though.

She is actually racing online at the moment on her server

K thats really odd

Il come for some races and see

Hey, my name is Ben Dover, i work for Rent a Gent.

On a more serious note i agree in leagues and more serious events real names should be used, there is a more personal connection between the drivers.

But then in the quick sprint races we all join for an evenings race nicks are just fine. Id rather prefer to be called "that noob exodus" instead of "Charles you idiot!" when learning a new combo isnt going so well

Quote from axus :

Just making this clear - you are the LX4 driver and Charles is the LX6 driver?

Yup thats right...i get the LX6

You think the devs will give you a vote too?

Yeah i spend alot of time in front of the machine during the week doing some work...and evenings alot of time in LFS and no problems at all

Santa gives me chocolate too

Oranges or banana's?

78.92% podiums of nearly 1162 races

LOL @ CSU1

A friend downloaded S1 demo back in the day and I gave it a spin, but with the KB it didnt really suit me too well.

Played it on and off until part way through last year where one of my friends owed me a little cash, and would you believe it, it was just a little more than what S2 was worth. Having heard it was a huge improvement I told him to buy me a voucher number for it.

Bought a DFP 2 months later when I had the cash.

Been addicted ever since.

Going off topic guys!

Yeah sorry bout that, was looking quickly at ARNO's online racer stats, last race was BF1 on Oval, best lap a 26.77 , imagine that had been on the FM server! I think there would of been some harsh words

Quote from nutty boy :

Not exactly ideal because you live in South Africa but anyway http://search.ebay.co.uk/searc ... entrypage=search&fgtp=

Yes South Africa does have a few downfalls, ISP being the number 1

Woohoo 100 posts, i feel....normal

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I want to get mafia, but i can't find it anywhere. Seems its too old. Its like GTA in the 50s

Exactly, im searching hard for it at the moment, have been for a couple months now, i know somebody i know must have it

Mafia is a great game, years ahead of its time!

Those old school cars are the shiznit! ...but yes i dont want Mr Salieri(spelling) to catch up with me!

And to the cheaters, you are a waste of bandwidth, go get a life!

Quote from bbman :

Wireless for the lag maybe...

Mine:

I got Wireless 802.11 N ... im not gonna lag..you are

Quote from tristancliffe :

I'll agree with that. Since the oval was added I just don't bother to look at ANY of the stats. I wish the oval statistics could have their own section, so that us circuit races (who use different cars, and aquire less laps due to the nature of circuits) could have an unmolested stats page.

Yup i got to agree, not picking on oval drivers or anything but it is a laborious process to seperate the oval racers from track racers to do any type of useful comparison.

Great read Gentlefoot!

Its easy to understand...its a Monday, people trying to bring some light to their long week ahead and turn too LFS


I heart LFS

Quote from Jertje :

As for improving laptimes; for me it seems to be very gradual below 1m35s.
I have actually made a video of my own PB and the WR side-by-side, and there seems to be no particular point in which I lose time to MacEST, however in the end I am more than a second behind! To me this proves that very slight improvements which will come as time progresses make all the difference, just keep practicing!

I couldnt agree more, improvements from here are tiring but eventually come around!!

Keep up the practice!
