There is a couple i really enjoy racing with though, Queensheet(spelling? and im not sure if he is even a part of the community) is a awesome guy to race with, fair, clean driver and fast everywhere he goes it seems.

hmmm ....you must be talking about a different Quietscheente than the one i've known for a long time, lol.

This is an absolute blast. I love this track and the delayed starts. I hope this gets set up for the rally events as well. So this way it will be an actual rally race and not bumper cars...lol. Awsome job Victor

Yea, those 7 sec cars are cool but they aren't street legal. It's awsome that we are into the 10's now with street legal srt's. I remember last year when everyone was excited about people getting into the 11's and said that 10's would never be possible. I can't wait to see a street legal srt dip into the 9's. I don't care if it's a 9.99, lol..it'll still be a 9 second street legal srt-4.

BTW, those are some excellent times for a stock srt, especially on stock tires

It's still FWD...

Heh, so is mine just look at my signature....seems to be doing pretty good for a FWD 4cyl

Quote from Tweaker :

Now if the backmarker is faster and going to pass ME, then that is where things can get ugly. You usually see arguments where "Why were you racing with me when you were laps down from me????" I've seen it a lot, and if a backmarker is getting in your way, faster or not, I still think the backmarker should be considerate and realize that they cannot win and just stop disrupting other driver's races.

I agree with everything you said, expect for that. A backmarker has every right to try and get that lap back. Granted it really doesn't matter in these little short races that most servers host. But, I personally, treat most races like i'm racing in a season and every position counts. So if the backmarker is obviously faster than you. Then have a good clean race and if they pass, great for them. And, remember, according to FIA, you are allowed ONE defensive move. Not 10 moves with the intent of running the other driver off the track...lol.

Holy crap...i'm gone for a couple months and you guys just exploded with members...lol...congrats on the success ! I wish i was going to be home long enough to be able to race in another EAGLE vs. LOTF night. With 19 members, you guys have to have someone faster than us now lol, just kidding. See you guys on the track!

Quote from L(Oo)ney :

No it doesnt, as i've just proved in my post above. I know of many other cannabis smokers who would also not touch anything else.

If that is truely what you believe...then i am afraid that you are very naive. You might know of a few people who wouldn't...but there are many more out there that will. Someone didn't just conjure up the name "gateway drug" one night because they felt like it.

Quote from L(Oo)ney :

It wasnt the weed that killed them, it was the sudden stop after the crash, the weed might have had a part in it, but it wasnt the ultimate cause. The fatalities were caused by the person choosing to drive after having a smoke, not the cannabis itself.

So then every alcohol fatality where the person died for anything other than alcohol poisoning is totally out of this debate.

So now considering that over 95% of alcohol related deaths are not from the alcohol directly....there really isn't that much difference between directly related fatalites or either weed or alcohol.

Quote from Gabkicks :

i bet beer is more of a gateway drug than weed. beer is deffinatly more fatal. I bet no one here can name a case where weed caused a death.

how can you say that beer is more of a gateway drug? what does beer(alcohol) lead to? Alcohol is alcohol. The effects don't change from beer or wine, or scotch...etc. Weed leads into narcotics, opiates, hallucinogens..etc..which all have very different effects and symptoms.

i also, personally, know of two fatalities caused by weed. Both were car accidents(i'm a paramedic and responded to both of them). Granted, alcohol does cause more fatalities per year, BUT, just because something doesn't make national headlines, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I won't even get started on the fact of drug deals gone wrong and shootings/stabbings over...you guessed it...weed.

Please help me!
I installed patch T, and now whenever I try to get into LFS2, it says:
Could not initialise graphics



Please help! Desperate!

did you try reinstalling the patch? or doing a clean install on the whole game?

lol, apparently that's the new "numerical" version of english illepall

illepall illepall illepall This kid brings up a thread that is almost a month old, just to call someone asking for help a "noob". Holy crap, get a life.

Quote from Becky Rose :

and I think testosterone has made it a regulation in LFS.

lol...i agree

are you saying that you would get black-flagged for not obeying a blue-flag? must be a UK thing

Quote from Madman_CZ :

lol.. even i didnt know all that and ive been lfsing for over a year now

lol..yep, same here

I think the main problem is that a lot of people don't understand the actual definition of a "blue flag". I've been playing LFS since S1 and i've seen this happen hundreds of times.

The person being lapped doesn't know what they should do and/or the faster car gets too anxious and tries to pass in a manner that is not safe (because they think the slower car should pull to the side and stopillepall )

In most racing leagues(aside from Champ Car in certain conditions),a blue flag is used only to "inform" the slower car that they are about to be lapped. It is not a requirement to let the faster car pass...it is only a courtesy

If you really are fast enough to be lapping a car, then you will have plenty of opportunites to pass in a safe manner, without the other car completely driving off the racing line, or slowing down to the point where it isn't safe.

Quote from felplacerad :

he's talking about hotlaps though, you managed to pull 35.x by drafting. actually, 34's are possible ...

Yep, my world record is for hotlapping(i.e. only one car on the track)

With regular draft my best is 35.02 and with bumpdrafting my best is a 34.30

i've always been a big open-wheel fan...so i started with the F08 and quickly realised it had waaay too much power for me at the time. So i switched to the FOX for a little while until i got a handle on that. Then went to the F08. I mainly race on the oval (which, by the way, i am the current world record holder on ) but i also do SO Classic and KY GP Long(all with the F08)

yea, i hate insurance...lol. i'm paying $500US per month for the car and another $400US per month for insurance ..at least it's a fun car

oh..and the insurance company doesn't know about any of my "modifications", lol...they think it's still stock

but, good luck with the car keep the shiny side up

Glad to see you got a license Scrabby

I would make those stripes come all the way down the front of the car.

And for the logo...put it on the skin, then use the magic wand to select just the white part. Use either the brush or the fill bucket to fill in with the same color blue you used on the rest of the car.

how's this?

took all of 10 seconds

if you have anything else you want done to it, just ask...like i said..it's very basic, so you can add or change things if you'd like

here's a very basic skin i threw together...you can do what you want with it....no "it's mine, don't touch it" claims...

a couple of renders to go along with it as well

without a pic, i'm not too sure of what you are describing....but...it kinda sounds like your image isn't oriented correctly....try rotating the entire image 90 degrees in either direction then put it back in the game.

That's a problem i have a lot....when i'm working on a skin, i rotate it, then forget to rotate it back before i save it....makes the car look very weird in LFS.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I don't need to prove anything - it's a well known fact that America can't make good cars, just that America doesn't know it yet. Keep trying though, it's nice to see the amusing attempts

lol...tristan, i always look forward to your comments....they always make me laugh. i agree with you, american sports cars still leave something to be desired. I think we have everything we need, it's just the fact that no one can figure out how to put it all in one vehicle and make it all work together.

you are wrong and you cant prove you're right

Can you prove that the z06 DOES corner well?

rotflmao....riiiight....no one in their right mind (or with any amount of skill, for that matter) would EVER put the brake bias more towards the rear in any car...if you want to slide around like an idiot, try using the handbrake.

i wouldn't say promptly broken. i did use this set though, with a few modifications of course...but it is an excellent oval set.

Quote from DR3W :

This sounds like it well be a good match up! You should make a video of it after its all done, or let a few people sett in and whatch!
Good luke to all, but a little more of my support to the eagles!

lol...stop sucking up because you want to join the eagles
