heh heh this is cryptic

I wonder if well get a new, "Most users online", when the patch is out

nice, love the fuel gauge

Sweet update news

The tyre wall graphic is something I had never really thought of, but is such a great addition

I would love to see full clutch support, with stalls, grinding etc. maybe FF Shifter built into the sim with clutch support. would be sweet. I guess this could be possible for S2 though.

nice videos for techniques. I must give it a try again. The last time i tried, kept not braking enough (foot splipping off brake or not pressing hard enough) and coming off the track.

Some ppl said, in the gt cars/open wheel cars, they use auto clutch. Is it not faster to use the rev matching thing in these cars?

lol its like a pack of rabbid dogs in here

Quote from DratsaB :

I also have this problem from time to time on some servers. My connection bar starts to go into the red, it keeps rising slowly until i get disconnected. But some times it will just go back down and noprobs (as some one else metioned).

Oddly, I have noticed that the "red bar" will drop back to green when another player on the server does somthing e.g. Pit-in, Pit-out, join spectators, join the race etc.

So, why does the Bar reset itself when a racer is doing somthing to do with entering/leaving the race/server? Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, I dont get lag when the bar is rising, nor do i ever get complaints about my car lagging to other drivers, when the bar is rising/timming out.

Im still getting this disconection problem often enough to be irritating. And tonight I had it so bad, it caused me to post this. I couldn't race on almost any server I tried that had more than a few people connected.

I have pretty much near confirmed the fact that when im timing out and some one pits in or out, my time out disapears and ping goes back to normal. Im convinced that it must be a prob with LFS itself because of this. Or is there some thing external that could cause this, I cant think of anything...

Fine here

Hey guys! Well, I'm really happy that this came back to life! I've already put together 2 tweaks and I plan to put another one together before the night is out! The two I have are a car and a truck. The car is a 2004 Ford Mustang V6, with an included skin. It's a 3.8 V6 with 193 hp and a 5 speed manual...It's the car I own! The truck is a 1997 Ford F-250 with a 4.6 V8 with 220 hp and a 4-speed transmission. (Yes, I checked it's spcifications...I like realism) It's a little fast for it's weight, but it's nice and high...slap on some oversize tires and go offroading! Feel free to turn on 4WD, as my truck has the 4WD option!

As I always used to do, I've included a setup and a tweak, and both are for the GTT. I have also included a color setting and skin I put together a while ago for the Mustang tweak. Simple, but gets the job done! Enjoy the toys!

EDIT: Now, like I said, I'm adding one more here tonight...I just finished it up! It's a 1983 Hurst/Oldsmobile Cutlass, with a 5.0 liter 'hi-performance' V8 with 180 hp...It's a rear-drive musclecar for the '80s! Hope you like it! I gotta go get the real oe out of grandma's garage this year! Again both a set and tweak are included...Enjoy

By the way guys, feel free to request some tweaks from me, as I'll be glad to do them as I have time!

Yod

Have to say Im really enjoying the Ford F-250. Great for rallycross

cheers

Quote from yodman :

Guess what? I have them done already! I chose the Trabant 1.1...Yes, I realize they're all slow cars, those Trabants...I chose a 1993 Lotus Esprit Turbo S4, the 265 hp 2.2 liter turbo 4-banger, and the SLR McLaren from 2005 with its 5.4 liter supercharged V8 and 617 hp!

As per usual, Ihave included both tweaks and sets for them...feel free to modify my setups as I know they aren't up to par with some people's setup skills...Please enjoy!

Yod

Cheers mate, there all great, Lotus is lots of fun ty

Did you mean for the SLR to be based on the XRGT Turbo? 'cause the .set included was for the XRGT, but the .twk is based on the Turbo.

Welcome Yodman

Seeing as you offered, how about a Trabant, a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a Mercedes Mclaren SLR. what do ya reckon?

Please include a setup with the Car.twk's for us non grease monkeys . And if some one could make a nice Enzo/Gallardo setup that would be sweet,
Cheers

Never played with LFS tweak before, now i see what all the fuss is about, thanks Fonnybone, Nice work

Congrats to you and the missus , My best wishes to the three of you.

Just wanted to thanks, this is some real nice work .

LFS sure is a thing of beauty @ 1600x1200 85Hz, 8XAA, 16xAF, With this addon, plus the smoke mod, plus the Track textures addon. woot

I have the same wheel, it happens from time to time to every wheel though, Im pretty sure. Go to Options\Controls, then click the Axes\FF button. In here you'll find a button to "Recalibrate Axes". Once you have done this click the Calibration Lock button to stop this happen so often.

Sweet vid, ty

Quote from seinfeld :

this is my experiance also, if ur racing and no one has pitted thats when u get kicked, if someone regularly pits or connects its fine

Interesting, this would be worth following up. Its the only "constant" thing I can see with this problem.

What about others with the same connection problems, do you get this also?

Im actually very surprised no one has set up some kind of a semi/permanent Slick Mod Server. I love the road cars (and their tyres), but some of them are really fun with slicks, LX's being perfect examples. Come to think of it, all the road cars with slicks are a blast, FXO, RA etc


ty for the videos.

I also have this problem from time to time on some servers. My connection bar starts to go into the red, it keeps rising slowly until i get disconnected. But some times it will just go back down and noprobs (as some one else metioned).

you'll see S3 when the money generated from S2 runs out.

Ouch! A tad Cynical, This ain't EA Games ya know

As well for drifting, I'd say these tracks would be good Kart tracks for the MRT.

Nice work

Judas Priest - Breakin' the Law, Breakin' the Law

I also love these cars. RA can be so much fun and imo is the best sounding car in the game. I drove it on one of the SO tracks recently and it was a real suprise. I thought the bumps would be a real kill joy, instead it was one of the most excting combos ive driven in S2.

Hope to see more servers with these cars soon, lets not forget about the TBO class either, needs some love .
