Nice touch on the engine. To be honest, I never really noticed that you could even see the engine through that grill

+1 to computer-assisted clutch speed being more closely matched to the speed of someone proficient with a manual clutch. I also look forward to proper damage modeling in the drivetrain. I probably won't have a 3rd pedal for quite some time - just can't justify the cost - but I will surely be excited when the clutch updates start rolling in.

Hey, take it from me, you can be a crap driver and still have loads of fun!!

I've been taking anywhere between 2-4 classes at the local community college for the last three years or so. They've been a combination of hey-that-looks-interesting and take-the-same-class-as-my-aspiring-doctor-girlfriend classes mostly; a lot of math (fun!) and psychology (bleh) sort of stuff. The only school near me has jack-diddly available for computers or music, the two fields I still can't really decide between. The former I'm sure I'd enjoy much less, whereas the latter would be harder to make a living at :S I'm moving from my small town of 8000 to the San Francisco bay area in (hopefully) a couple months time for a cush job dispatching for the highway patrol, so I'm looking forward to having much better curriculum (and more money!) available once I get settled in. My old lady is about a third of the way through a bachelor's degree working entirely online. She's got a pretty nice setup; perfect for hermits like us

LMAO I read the whole thread before I watched this, and totally pictured a guy on a motorcycle doing burnouts then I see.... that... Hilarious. This guy definitely has a gift.

Good luck with that

A wheel isn't needed, but if my wheel broke today I wouldn't play LFS until I'd replaced it.

Thirding this. I tried to play with a gamepad at first, and it was doable, but I wouldn't dare try it again. I'm sorry, it's simply just not as fun without a force feedback wheel IMO. I agree that cheap is better, but you're just cheating yourself if you don't get a wheel.



No pressure though.

I pretty much only shift-s if my vehicle is destroyed. I've never spun out before ( ), but if I did I imagine I would just hold still until any traffic has passed and I know I can get back up to speed or at least out of the way before anyone else comes -- unless I spun out right by the edge of the grass, facing the grass; then I would probably get off the track until it's safe. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against shift-s. I can't help but smile when I get on the podium simply by being one of the few that made it an entire race without crashing out and hitting shift-s. I'm not really that fast hehe

Aw shucks, I feel like this thread was made for me (it's really my birthday )
Happy (LFS) birthday to you too!

Great, thanks!!

Setting bugs on fire?

Press F9 and look at the bottom middle part of the screen IMO

Really weird, but fun.

A very short (10 sec) and WTF replay. Keep your eyes on PLAYLIFE (The replay title says it all)

Lol omg, that was awesome! I've driven away after rolling before, but never that... perfectly! I can hear you saying, "yeah, uh... I meant to do that!" Nice one.

It'd be like wearing two different socks.

It usually doesn't make a difference unless they're drastically different specs.

EDIT: nice avatar btw ;-)

You got two for free, meaning you have three now? I'm in a similar boat; having three monitors and just a a double head graphics card. I can't afford a parahelion or whatever that's called or a TripleHead2Go, so I don't really know what else to do with all the extra junk. One of mine is an old LCD, and there was a link to a pretty nifty DIY large screen projector using an LCD panel and an overhead projector on this forum a few days ago, so I'd attempt that if I could score a projector.

The fresnel lense idea is a good one too. There are a couple good guides on here and the RSC forum about that. With CRTs that's probably your best bet for a cheap "3d" effect. You'll still probably need special equipment to hook up more than too monitors though

Good idea. Might look better against a black background?

Yeah, they can hardly lose money on tabs that have never been published, which is probably the bulk of what the tab sites provide illepall

Keep working on it Shaun. You should get the CMX viewer from the main liveforspeed site so you can see what it looks like while you work on it.

I don't know about you guys, but I'll sport this one next time I drive the XRG. You'll be wishing you were the one to start the fad.

The one I've had most trouble with lately is the uphill chicane in WE1R in the FOX. No matter what I try, 8 times out of 10 I end up spinning out towards the end of the exit where the track drops away a little unless I take it really slowly. I guess it could be a setup issue though.

On the contrary, ghost mode is great when you don't have a proper internet connection. Thanks for the advice though?

I know what you did last summer....

@Hyperactive: wow that second one was pretty wild =-o

LX4 @ KY1. Fast forward to the start of the 6th lap then about 10 seconds in I get too low and lose control and end up hitting the inside wall. It launches me into the air and I do about 13 and a half spiraling revolutions like a perfectly thrown (american) football. There were two other people in the room at the time and we were all just, ":jawdrop: .......... wtf? :wow: :ices_rofl"

There are some good texture mods out there that I would redownload if I had to reinstall. I also couldn't live without Keygetys' Ghost mod -- I play by myself a lot.
