Maybe Demo version should start to be called "LFS DEMOlition"

Maybe the Demo servers shouldn't have a Ban option at all? After all, that would surely incentivise towards S2?

Put simply, they don't compare. I recently returned to LFS after playing GPL and GP4 for a bit, and I forgot just how much fun you can really have on LFS. The most awesome community around, rivalries on the track, wheel to wheel racing, the opportunity to test new tactics... The only thing I need now is to join some real organised races!

Using a Canon EOS350D which is their entry level SLR these days, and nearly all of the pics are using the Sigma 50-500mm lens

I'm about to get the 200mm USM lens, I can't wait. First place I'll take it will be Brands, right by Paddock

Quote from VALE 46 :

I also made a little video from the original pic to the edited pic .... http://media.putfile.com/LFS-pic double click on the video to make it full screen otherwise its too small and looks squashed

The pics are awesome

Dammit, the one evening I have something planned!!

English version here:

Any idea of timescales for English? Because I'd quite possibly sign up today...

Meh... Tape delay, I don't care so long as I see quali before the race.

And I have to admit I really like Pocoyo! That duck (Pato?) is fricking awesome.

That program is addictive. My little'un has to put up with his dad watching it...

Perfect, will do.

Thanks

So, in my quest to become wheely good (oh come on, I got it over and done with at the start), I need a wheel. I currently use the MS Freestyle, and although it's good, I think my wrists will seize one day.

I'm looking for a good, sturdy, professional wheel, with paddles and pedals. Even a second-hand one would be sufficient.

Any ideas?

Thanks chaps,

Adam

With one lap to go in a 30 lap race of South City, the missus asked me a question, and I piled into the armco at the chicane.

Sniff.

Fairly large scale, using most of the space in the car park. Great with the smaller cars!

Opinions would be good. First try

Thanks chaps

Quote from gizmo2k5 :

Hehe, nice pics :P i caught another from the BL chicane (again)

What is it about that chicane? How many times have I clipped it and almost died...?!

Quote from Shotglass :

clearly a pro driver like surgeon shouldnt race on a noob server like andres

Heheh. Incidentally, the setups worked quite well. Got a shock pulling out of the pits the first time

Still, Andre still pulls away, just in straight-line speed. Damn him.

Gentlemen, thanks - will try tonight (this morning?!) - and let you know how I get on. Wish me luck

Hi Chaps,

Enables S2 last night, and went for a run with Andre and Wurzle on the Sauber, on the oval. Problem is, even with no fuel (I ran out on the last lap!), and no downforce, and even slightly modified gear ratios, I still can't keep up with them - despite keeping the same line.

I'm not asking for setups, but what does everyone else finds works for them?

Assistance appreciated

Thanks,

Adam

I hope that's not bad etiquette, but seems like common sense to me

I'd say you got it in one!

The whole USP behind LFS is realism. Apart from Schumi, Massa, and maybe Monty, who else do you see flying up and smashing into people?

Be realistic. You wouldn't put your race at risk in real life, for the sake of a second or two.

Same here. At the end of the day, I don't want to wreck someone elses race, or be accused of doing so. Simple thing, is exit the pits once the leaders pass, or pull over (or maintain line) when the approach.

You would have thought it simple, wouldn't you?

Tease!

Quote from sgt.flippy :

So I downloaded it again, from a different server, did the same thing as before, only the unlock button was where it should be, in the main menu.

So basicly, yes, you should redownload your LFS, or someone smarter has to come here and give a better idea

Technology, huh?

Hi 1xm1n, welcome to LFS. Hope to race you soon

Quote from sgt.flippy :

And if there isn't a box, re-download LFS from a different server you originally did. I wanted to get LFS on my sisters' laptop, so I could play in lan with my brother in law... And I downloaded the game, but had to play in demo mode because it seemed like I had one of those old demo versions. Some servers send the wrong files, I wonder why this is...

So if you don't have an "unlock S2" button, try to redownload it.

Mmm... I had a problem with that last night too. After waiting for the 120mb-odd file to download

So I need to re-download the same version?

Hey guys,

Although I've had S1 for over a year, I never had broadband! Taking the leap into online gaming last night, I entered a server, and raced around 12 consecutive races. For sure, I was conservative at first. I took it easy, braking early, getting off of the racing line for those behind, and just generally finding my feet.

But then I started to realise that I was keeping up with the other competitors, and soon started to have some great battles. Then I fell pray to someone who *continuously* touched the rear of my car. They didn't punt me off, or slam into me, but kept nudging me, and nerfing me. This became rather fustrating! In addition, there *are* people out there who perhaps block when they shouldn't. But then we can all be over-enthusiastic sometimes, and loose track of what's going on

If someone is faster, and certainly of a better ability, then I'll certainly maintain the same line down the straight (I certainly wouldn't dream of changing lines purposely - recepie for disaster!). Mind you, saying that, I've I'm better than someone else, I'll still maintain a dead straight line - I'll just break earlier than them and watch them sail by
