Quote from dutch_NL :

My english is not all to well

but i like te preview patch more.

Je moet je gewoon aanpassen aan de nieuwe manier van schakelen.

You just have to adjust to the new way of shifting.

Quote from KENWOOD :

Good thing removed XRT from demo....you have a lot of money my friend i think....somebody not have enough money to buy the game....and i have S2 lisence,but im loved drift in demo.... so remove XRG and take back Turbo!

So in the first sentence you say it's good that the XRT is removed, and in the last sentence you want it back

Quote from notomorrow :

but im sorry to say that i am now leaving the LFS community. In my opinion the XR gt was one of the best demo cars ever, capable of racing to drifting to anything you wanted it to do. Now my XR GT has dissapeared and along with it, over 50 of my setups that ive put countless hours into to get them perfected. Thank you for wasting a year of my time perfecting my favorite car and even going so far as to making hundreds of my own demo skins which are now USELESS.
goodbye to my 12.39 second drag car...
goodbye to my 1:25 drift car...
goodbye to my nsx that i manage to get to hit 145mph with
goodbye to wheelies and flips
goodbye to my 25+ engine sounds
goodbye to over 125 custom XRGT skins
goodbye to over 50 custom made setups
goodbye to all the nice people ive met
Kudos to [Shikane Drifters], DragMania, Team 360, T5, Silly Project, and also to the Ghost Drag Team.
You guys have all helped make my time on this game a bit better and i thank you for it.

FFS, just buy the game if you had so much fun with it FOR FREE.

I'm seriously starting to get mad. You are all acting like someone goddamn died, I don't care you go away, why do you need to post it here ? Seriously FFS, if you spend so much time on it, why not buy the game ? I seriously haven't seen any demo that has been played for more than 1 year. And when the dev edits it, you are all talking like you have something to say ? You don't even support the devs.

Quote from Electric Eye :

But isn't it a bit cruel for the people that played lfs for years to get xrt taken away?

Isn't it cruel to play a game for 1 year without paying the people who made it and then start to complain when the devs alter the free content ?

Quote from daanroof :

lol, have u thought of people that r too young then? for example, im only 14, how should i get a job? I have the money so thats not a problem for me but still there r players that can't get a job so they get the money

I was doing little jobs for my family when I was 13, hell I bought my license when I was 14. So there are way's to earn enough money.

Quote from JTbo :

Not the case with flatshifting, but with clutchless shifts with matching revs you are right.

Oh, I mixed those 2 up then

Quote from Racerjon :

Hey. I just downloaded the new patch, and installed, and then it all was demo????????? Is im gonna do the game-password again or?????? HELP???

You just have to reunlock

click the tab unlock and give your username and pass.

Quote from JTbo :

But also they actually use clutch there too as without clutch it would not take gear in, I'm perhaps bit tired again as I did not managed to spot that earlier

I tought you just needed to wait for the exact RPM and shift into next gear ? If it fails, it just gives some grinding noises.

First of all, flatshifting in real life is still something different then on LFS.

Flatshifting on LFS => Trothle down, clutch down and shift
Real life =>Trothle down, shift

I think the flatshifting in LFS is heavier on the clutch because it isn't implented yet because there isn't any gearbox damage.

Seriously, if you are having problems with clutch heat, I just can't wait when engine heating and transmission damage is inserted.

Quote from The General Lee :

ROFLMAO!

lol, I didn't notice that :')

Quote from squidhead :

Same observation here, Im starting to believe that the cockpit is meant to be detached in a crash not to let the engine bust into the driver and the passenger

Yes it is, it's indeed designed that way that the cockpit won't be crushed by the engine.

Muse is awesome, saw them live on Rock Werchter and I was stunned by their performance.

I'm a big fan, and their music is inspiring.

Quote from Ospi :

No those are just A-grade dickheads. Hopefully they will all be banned within the week from most servers.

That's one of the reasons LFS is so great

Quote from ElvisArg :

U did that with sandpaper? Your gonna get more rust now.
Put some vaseline all over the shaft.

I did it with sandpaper yeah, and I put some vaseline over it, like mentioned.

Quote from Lhunathwen :

This is no argument, a game is made for the players and NOT for the developers!
I know a coulpe of game that had to be given up since developers thought they can do what they want without taking the players wished in conclusion.

(just in common theory, not that I want to say this was the end of LFS)

No, the developers make a game that represents their vision of SIM racing, and we play it because we share the vision of the devs.

Okay, I did some work on it today. It looks a little bit bronzish ( does that word even exist ). I'll get some pics up soon.

Hell, from the moment the FBM is added, I'm going wild on hotlapping.

Quote from Jordan2007 :

Well Demo Users Shouldnt Be On this Topic in the first place.. Shouldnt Be Able To Do Addons...

Why don't you read the few posts above you before making a comment like that ?

Yes, I have no problem in seeing them deleted.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I hope you enjoy your well deserved time off

Altough I can't deny I'm serously waiting for those new GTR interiors.

I'm definately going to race on the blackwood and chicane servers

Saw Ospi's qualification lap on SO. I was 0.30 seconds slower

Nice new line-up you guys have there.

Quote from joaopaulopt :

Why not the RB4, FOX,FO8,BF1, LX4, LX6 and so on ? And much more tracks offcourse, much more tracks !

Quote from ghost racer :

The only other gripe I have about the new patch is the AI is almost too drone like.. They will plow into the back of you instead of finding a way around if they are able to overtake.

Or if your trying to pass but still holding the line with them they will push you off reguardless.. Maybe give them alittle room to feel crowded, if your not racing properly.. That will give you a disadvantage in the up comming turn.

I Just think the AI should represent the clean racing style, our community wants, not just a drone that holds the line and isn't aware of close surroundings.

I know this would be really hard to write into the game.. But I think that would tottaly perfect the AI

Scawen said he was going to work on that.

Quote from Meanie :

Hello, one of the great points in my mind about buying the G25 was it's durability (I had a MOMO before) so, if you will, picture my amazement when I was storing it yesterday (I store it on a closet as soon as I stop using it, the shifter and the wheel, the pedals stay under the desk over a piece of wood and covered in plastic - I'm a careful guy) and pulled that little bit of "leather" over the shifter shaft and then saw...

Rust over the steel.

Man...
Isn't it supposed to be stainless steel all over the product?

Anyway, I've had my G25 for just a short time, less than 2 months, and used it sparingly.
The storage closet and the enviroment on which it's used are not (even though I'm from Brazil) high humidity ones.
But the shaft is rusting all the same and now I would like to have some suggestions as to what I can do about it?

It doesn't bother me at all on the cosmetic aspect, you can't even see it if you don't pull back the leather on the shifter shaft.
But I'm worried that all this rust will continue to "go down" and jinx all the workings on the shifter unite.

So, I've got a shifter shaft which looks like to be rapidly rusting (there's a "ring" on top of the leather part that covers the shaft which seems to be made of metal and is rusted/rusting too) and I don't know what to do. Because I don't know what to use on the rust from fear of what the product might do to the rest of the shifter unit.

Help.


PS: To all G25 owners, it would be wise if you took notice of your shaft (gear shaft, damn) from time to time, I hope not but maybe it's rusting out too.

I have the same problem here :/

I don't why, it's not like I spilled some cola over it or something :/
