Oops! I thought I stumbled upon the netKar forum by mistake.

Quote from Blowtus :

not everyone wants to bother downloading a setup every time they enter a new track / car combo.

So the answer is to get someone else to bother for them eh?

Just had a look at that Death clock. Holy shit! That is SCAREY!

Quote from Dappa :

So....your banned for life for not being a good racer? ok its my fault i dont have a wheel, i should ****ing buy one, and i will.

but banning me just because i crashed is fuking pathetic. the community in this game is the same as any game where skill and power corrupts. looking down at me cause im a bad racer? well u can all piss off.

wat a nice way to invest 24 quid, cant even race on the servers cause i havent bought a pissing racing wheel, im discusted.

How did it become your FAVOURITE server?
Anyway, get your wheel, practice offline, and come back and kick there asses.
Oh, and stop being petulant.

Quote from Astro [ BJRL ] :

58 ... anyone older ?

Yep, 64. You know they had a similar thread in the rFactor forum and the average age was 38ish. I reckon it's a lot younger for LFS.
Mmm.

Quote from Infiniti :

wow lol I have high speed cable and that picture is at crawling pace! at this rate Ill be back in 5 min see if Im halfway haha...

Alright loaded if anybody else has trouble dont worry Im gonna attach it.
I thought it was good work I love the smoke whisping around the tire as its spinning, very real but, isnt drifting kinda classified as controled sliding through turns? if so sure looks like your on the backstraight with your nose pointing the direction your traveling. I suggest taking a shot of driting on a sharper bend in the middle of the apex it would look real nice.

I thought it was just me! 10mb? pfft!
Good job.

haha@DodgeRacer

Why isnt my little dog running? ----> :dogrun:
Bah, its only Firefox....

Little bugger's running all over my Firefox.

The last 10-12 posts have been well helpful to a Newbie.......Scrub radius indeed!

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

or just realize you are slower and move on

Education, education, education. (that's amusing if you're English)
Seriously, disable restarts for the first 180 seconds. The more rash drivers soon get the idea that it doesn't pay to be too lead footed in the first turns.
Then again, this has been raked over sooo many times and nothing changes.

Quote from Rebeldevil :

DO NOT SPEED THROUGH THE PITS.

Another tip.

DO NOT SPEED THROUGH THE PITS.

.... That's about 50 MPH if you're using US measurements.

Or 49 mph if you're British. If you do 50mph you WILL cop a penalty

Quote from Rebeldevil :

cars in the game won't exceed 50 MPH in 1st gear (with standard settings) so drop it into first and you should be OK.

You'd best not rely on that because you WILL be caught out. Use your speedometer.

In my case, unless it's basic set like race_1, setup makes very little difference. I was once on a server with XFGs and lumbered around on race_1 well off the pace. Sinbad then kindly gave me his set. What a difference! It took 2-3 seconds off straight away. Trouble is I was still 2 seconds a lap off the leaders pace.
I can make EVERY turn perfectly. Unfortunately I can't do it on the same bloody lap! Mostly it's a mind game and the older you get, the less mind you have to play with.

Quote from detail :

AFAIR, the Viewer has to be put in a separate folder, not together with LFS S2.

Wot he said.

Quote from JamesF1 :

Or better yet: "You have wrecked someone's car, you are dead. Your LFS Account has been permanently suspended. You will have to fork out £24, all over again, AND pay compensation of £40,000 before you can race again."

Seems fair.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Also Vain, your witty sarcasm doesn't help this at all :rolleyes:

You keep it up Vain. Good job.

Did no-one put up a picture of themselves? Are you all that goddam ugly?

Please, please, please have a sense of humour.
As per tristancliffe and Bob Smith. Remember it is a game but one the has to be played seriously to get the most fun out of it.
Oo, I think that was profound!

Quote from Bob Smith :

Heh, at least it's interesting. Think of an online Welsh weather forecasting system, it'd just be a static html page with the text "rain" in big letters.

Oh so very right.

LFS must be growing up. Another intersting thread with points well argued.
I wouldn't mind betting my dinner money that most of you, in the event of kitty littering, do the following:
TRY to get out of said KL by normal means. If unlucky try a reset, if successful, wait till you can rejoin safely and carry on the race.
If unsuccessful, slap forehead and go to spectate.
I find the idea of having a mishap, go to pit and restarting from lap 1 a pointless exersize. After all, it's a sim isn't it?

Shall I?
When you join your server, put the admin password in ...guess where? The slot that says 'Password'

I got enmeshed in the GTR scramble, even bought the German copy and messed with all those translation add-ons. Got fed up with the online aspect and having to leave the game to change cars. Scurried back to LFS. Damn me if I didn't do the same with rFactor! No translations of course but still the same online nonsense. Scurried back to LFS. There ain't no way they're having any more of MY money for GTL! I tried the demo, whoops! Same damn game, different dashboards.

LFS is, for my money, the only online racing sim. Just a few little tweaks and it's there.

What's the cornering like on six wheels?

Doesn't sound as though he will.

What a cracking thread. It's heartening to see such mature responses.

I have my own small business selling and fitting garage doors and operators. Hence 'Doorman' Yeah I know.
