Options->Game->F1-F8

I had a connection to LFSW that moment. But is it necessary at all to play MPR?

I've never seen such messages in S2.

Someone votes to restart in an MPR => get this message (Could not find connection X's client info). U20.

Forum search didn't give any result.

Quote from BigDave2967 :

Not sure if its been mentioned, I just pressed reply without reading all of the posts.

That wasn't wise from you. That's a new feature, the real way of speed measurement.

@Fubar_1: "Damage to" is a new translation string, and it seems that the Finnish translation hasn't been updated yet.

Here is a minor bug, I think. Was in 19, as well as in 20. [rewritten] When "Options" menu in open in race, in "Player" tab your view will be like "custom"/"wheels". In single-seaters, the virtual dashboard shows.

Quote from RobinK :

Mouse driver here.

Don't be afraid to race with mouse. I use no BH, TH, CB or CC and zero steer centre reduction.

The latter requires a lot of skill. (my steer center reduction is 0.5).

I drive with mouse. Logitech MX310 (how is that feature called, "double resolution"? It's for gaming, more precise and rarely goes crazy on "difficult" sufraces). I use mouse keys for throttle and braking. Tried to change, to switch gears with mouse, but found it inconvenient.

I've noticed one problem with mouse steer: I need the wheel and hands to be shown to get a feedback (even by peripherial vision). Otherwise it's hard to drive, since there is no feedback on hand from the mouse. Maybe it's only a habbit and placebo (like when you increase steer lock, it feels like the car makes turns better), but still can't get rid of it.

Recently I managed to pass pedal users in FOX. Well, it wasn't completely honest, but showed that mouse isn't that bad. They had unmodified Inferno setups, I had the same but with adapted differential. I used clutch, 35/55, which permited some power loss, but allowed me going pedal to the metal in turns.

[edit] P.S. Mousing for 3 years so far.

Author, drink some poison.

Hehe, most of them, as you see, are old models, quite aged, so they cost almost nothing, 50-100$ and it's yours. So, why not rice?

I love the e298ey And this, OMG, Zaporozhets, the "low cost" class, a jokes hero.

This model (Lada 2108*/2109*, "the chisel") is not new but still in production. As for others, I can assure you, fortunately you can seldom see these models on the streets (well, maybe somewhere in a small poor town/countryside), neither with such rice.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks!

I may have translated it in English badly. "Push hard" can have many meanings No, the commentator is Andrei Larinin (says nothing to you, of course, he is the director of the Russian F1 Racing), he is a very intelligent person and speaks with the people who are in action: racers, racers' managers, team managers.

Yes, there are commentaries like this on the same channel, those persons switch to racing from football. But Larinin is in a different class, he is much more credible, I've never heard him tell an empty phrase to fill the time. The worst that I can assume is that he would tell this from the words of racers only. Well, of course, racers can say commonplaces too.

I've watched F-Renault 2.0 recently. The commentator said

FR 2.0 requires to be very-very gentle on throttle. But at the same time it needs a "stiff hand" to drive. It is specially designed so that you need to push it hardly to go into corners.

I'm interested, how in particular the designers could make it be like this?

I support the idea of starting qual from pits.

(but it needs modifying AI...)

Kegetys, read the documentation on the flight model. It's like X-Plane with only 1 wing, 1 hstab, 1 vstab, no those polar curves, any cheating with fuselage allowed...

Quote from deggis :

Few ironic jokes is too much for you?

And one question for you... do you think nK Pro's situation (even after this new website - which by the way still doesn't have any mention about upcoming patch releases) is acceptable?

It's unacceptable, of course, the problem is serious. And you be serious too. Well, for me your style seems strange. I'm really sad that NK development has gone this way.

I even tried to buy it, but my country isn't in PayPal, and they didn't reply to my domanda.

On the other hand I could also gloatingly laugh. There is a Russian community of GPL fans, with some LFS-haters among them. They criticized anything in LFS, and some of them claimed that they were going to NK, to a "serious simulator" without "arcadish LFS' atmosphere". ([edit] and without "arcadish" mouse and kb.. lol, they were arguing with us (liveforspeed.ru) even on this topic)

In another thread some guys are bashing Montoya, and they also wear Finnish flags. That's becoming worrying... This thread should be named "Deggis on NetKar daily".

deggis, your first post made sense, but now, after making jokes on his every word and flaming with others, you look like a clown.

By the way, the TV channel that shows so much racing, is now broadcasting by a satellite.

Here is the info, someone may try to receive it. "Express AM 2" satellite, transponder #6, 80° east longtitude, frequency 3675 Mhz, 33.483 Mbaud/sec, FEC 7/8, polarization - circular, right rotation. Technical support: +7 495 617-52-40, 617-52-41, 617-92-83. Mail to ask about being a regional broadcaster.

I watch V8 Supercars reviews in Motorsport Mundial journal. The Russian commentator doesn't get the idea, he always says "It's a wrong decision to reverse the grid".

Drive correctly keeping the proper lane. At the straights it is usually the rightmost, at the turns it depends on where you turn. The turns aren't always limited by barriers (immaginary buses or trucks), but you need to drive over the control points (green circles), so it's better to keep your own lane.

It makes sense to fly around the track in shift+u camera to get familiar with it.

P.S. I've selected the right lane just to do less work (less forbidden zones and barriers).

[edit] updated the track

I hate camera rolling, especially in motion. If a picture is poor when straight, rolling adds nothing.

LFS rolling camera made me feel seasick. There must be a warning.

Well, I had problems similar to Vagner's: minor/major comes before the noun, adverbal modifier of place (left/right/front/rear) goes after. I minimized the bad style issue using "DAMAGE (%s)", so left/right/rear/front showed ok, "Damage (minor)" is a roundabout way, because literally "damage minor" looks bureaucratic. I've failed to find a sensible substitute that would be grammatically 100% correct and look like human speech (not robot).

1) where is 3a_hli_wron used? I wrote the same message as in 3a_wrngwcap, but LFS reports "line too long".

2) if you are going to use for any purpose "north", "south","east", "west" as nouns, please, make another string for "north" in "Aston North".

In many languages they'll be different words. You can't play with words like bricks in many synthetic languages, we can put them in any order and play with smaller bricks - prefixes, suffixes and terminations.

Scawen, are you going to make a changing weather? I know it will be in an incompatible patch, but I beg you, make changing temperature and continuous wind (not discrete as now).

"I spoke to Scawen, Eric and Victor :bowdown: to stop the pain."cause they are gods

They'd better ban the red cars.
