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 :/

Quote from ImportFantasy :

I agree with niko.No car EVER goes to 9000 redline!Scawen made the game more realistic and added and changed some things.Those small changes can make big differences.LFS is a SIMULATOR not an ARCADE GAME.Therefore,everything should be as realistic as possible which was what Scawen,Victor,and Eric did.

Nissan Skyline R34 ? There are some vids there where the RB26DETT goes to the 10k RPM.

Nevermind, didn't saw your post

Quote from kaynd :

Yeah, there are many other factors that aren’t simulated at all, so maybe the clutch model is ok and is being super uber stressed in some cases by all other super rigid components.

It went red in the 6th lap, but cooled down pretty fast again. I didn't have too much problems with the heat it reached neither.

Quote from kaynd :

I did test it in BL2 and found it almost the same as before.

After a careful nth check I found that it cools down a bit faster.

Then, you should really start to practice your shifting. Since it seems it has been reduced very noticable.

ROFL, I was almost crying :')

Quote from james12s :

i do like this idea and think it would go well with each person having an idervidual pit stop area if you know what i mean, even to repair certain types of damage you have to pull into your pit garage, on enduro races, so have an option so that if it is set to no it repairs damage or does nothing, and if yes goes to the pit window

Yeah, that sounds good too, for big damage offcourse

1.14.xx on BL

Should be better, I'm still going to slow trough the corners.

1.06.xx on SO6

I do notice that when you shut your engine off manually, it takes a long time before it stops. I mean, from idle to zero RPM takes a few seconds, shouldn't it just stop directly ?

What exactly is bad about the new speedo ? :/

Quote from joen :

Lovely video The way these cars are going through the chicanes, all bouncing over the bumps looks so real.

I was thinking the same, it's awesome.

Very nice update Scawen, nice work

This thread is just hilarious and impressive at the same time

Quote from DanielC :

I have Vista Ultimate 64 Bit and Fraps 2.9.3 full version.

Everything worked fine for me ... until I installed the SP1 RC service pack.

Now Fraps will close/crash whenever I try to record a video.
It does exactly what you said, locks LFS with the sound repeating itself.
Fraps works fine for displaying the framerate and taking screenshots though.
It does this in all games for me as well, not just LFS ...

There seems to be a problem between Fraps and SP1, because without SP1, it works fine!

I didn't install SP1 yet, so maybe it's something on my system. I'll try setting it on another key.

*edit*

w00t, it works, thank you !

*edit2*

oh wait, when you play on fullscreen, it happens again

No problems here, but I'm using a G25.

I tried on older version of Fraps, and still the same

Maybe it's the combination of Vista-X32 and Fraps that doesn't work ?

ps : don't start about Vista, it's my choice, it's my computer. Thank you !

Quote from DevilDare :

what do you mean "locks up"?

The image stops, the sound keeps repeating itself.

Hi,

I'm trying to make my first vid from LFS, but I didn't even succeed in making a recording.

When I press F9 to start the capturing, LFS just locks up, and it's stay's locked until I close down my Fraps, the same thing happens when I press F10.

It's seriously starting to bother me, I'm on X31.

Some screenshots from last race in South City

Quote from Crommi :

FBM and SO6 is just perfect match, but you really need to have some balls to get most out of it. Especially on that twisty midsection you can shave off huge amount of time if you drive it like you have a deathwish. My balls ain't huge enough just yet so I'm sitting at 1:07:11 right now...

Best time here is 1:06.98

I remember my first win on Blackwood with the FOX, I was stunned
Congratz and keep it up

Looking at my profile, I have won 14 races in total, 37 seconds and 26 third of the 194 races finished.

Quote from Eldanor :

How many wet pickup races are on the GTR2/RACE servers? (Just curiosity)

There aren't any dry race servers online neither.

Okay, J/K

I don't have a team, but I'm going to spectate this one
