i use smokemod and no smoke.exe or smth like this is required.

as far as i remember there was some thread bout 0-100 and 0-60 and someone measured times needed to get to that speed. It may be helpful

Thats the msg of a known wrecker on demo servers. This guy is from iDi and crashes on purpose. [iDi]Mafia thats his real name i think , but he used to change to names of guys that actually are on server.

Guy's a looser, cant drive so he does what every d**ckhead can - crash. What a pity

Get urself a full ver of lfs

actually i thought that after importing model to 3dsmax you can apply "mesh smooth" then,

sorry if i was wrong.

Great!

why didnt u put a lil bit of mesh smooth on it
- that would get rid of sharp edges, nice render tho

on regular basis i break at 50,100, etc signs

goin with different speed then usually needs to estimate braking points from feeling.

very easy to master when u race on the same track since 4 years

how long did it take you to recreate phisics there!! Bumps are SO REAL like i was there !!

And the "F" function to see how the phisics actually work!
Great job


whats your pb guys ?

Ive read somewhere that on dry tarmac braking distance of locked wheels is shorter then with abs.

Im not sure how true is it

Quote from sgt.flippy :

I never shift+s, I think it's completely unrealistic. I do try to not cause any more accidents after I crash, but sometimes it just happens.
I did have one of these crashes though, two guys crashed and were back on the track... And they just stood still right in the middle of the racing line, with two cars! The only thing I could do is try to squeeze through them, it kinda worked, minor damage, but the guy behind me was less lucky, he decided to avoid them completely and lost control doing it.

BTW, that youtube clip... When I used the first link I got it, the second time it made me log in because it was flagged 18+

yeah its so lame !!
i never press Shift + s except when i get to my pit box. Shame on U ppl!! u are pressing that shift + s so easily without getting into a pit box - that spoils my whole gameplay.

So lets start "No! for unrealistic behaviour on track"

1 voting for race start is unrealistic
2 voting for qualification is unrealistic
3 pressing just a one button for a car recovery is unrealistic, they should make some combo or smth so this would make it a bit closer to reality.
4 no ingame chat - unrealistic

Quote from Tailspin :

While no expert, it seems obvious to me that folks don't understand what a blue flag means.

It DOES NOT mean 'get out of the way!' It means, in essence, 'be predictable--you're being overtaken.' In fact, the OVERTAKING CAR is responsible for avoiding an accident.

That said, if you're way back in the pack and the leaders are catching you, you really should make it easy for them to pass.

But the racing is hot and heavy and some guy behind you is overtaking, you DO NOT have to pull over and let him pass. You MAY hold your racing line, and HE must avoid sticking his nose inside you on sweapers or at slow corners. Indeed, he can't pass on the inside UNLESS he has a subtantial overlap (his nose is visible to you) before the turn in point.

And yes, you CAN take an inside line to make it hard for him to pass. And yes you CAN make one blocking move on a straight away (but only one). Unless of course it the leaders blowing past you.

And if you're hit from behind HE is the jerk, wrecker, ****, etc...not the driver of the car being overtaken.

At least that's my belief. And like all my other beliefs, this one is subject to revision too, if someone can convince me I'm wrong.

Thoughs?

OK ok , but does this rules apply to drivers that got on track in the middle of the race ??

I dont think so. Its good to remember about that cause some guys may take ur opinions wrongly and ill get blocked by some smartass that just joined up the race when im doing the last lap.
"Hey ! i got all the rights to block u i ve read it on the internet , go check it"illepall

Oh !! C'mon !! U get +1 Grip and +1 HP with Evostar ,

evos are the best

respect

I love Shift S even tho its not realistic, shift r is unrealistic as well especially after one lap.


Anyway i find avoiding other cars a great fun sometimes but i prefer shift s command.

Quote from Tony01Ball01 :

One more thing, the installation / upgrade procedure is pathetic. As the developer is keen to charge developer package style money, they should be prepared as a minimum, to provide a good quality installer / updater. Right clicking on zip files is for freeware only.

Sorry bud im being a little ofensive but that is just a plain foolnes.illepall

Where's the point in clicking that "next" button in installers , waiting for them for pre-unpacking , then reading all the terms, instaling and on the end reading again "thank you " message. Sorry but that accusation is somehow painful for me as I love LFS without installer!! I see installer completly unnecessary. Furthermore - no messing with registry , system files etc - Lfs Team thank you , I didnt pay though but thanks

GET THE ZIP FILE - UNZIP - OVERWRITE - DONE !!!!!!! SIMPLE AS THAT !!

greetings

damn i hoped ill drive a BMW and i would love to drive her.

Nuse which way do you model all that cars ? With mesh , patches or nurbs ??

I used to work on 3dmax for some time , but my car models were crap.
However your work is amazing

Any chance ill see your cars implemented into LFS ??

ufff thats better

Quote from Calum :

i never said i did this when joining in middle race , and have posted the exect opposite about blocking racers , yet you still insult me in first post , but oh well.

sorry mate. I did it from misunderstanding and didnt call this off ( call this out??)

I apologize.

Quote from Rtsbasic :

I will handle the blue flag differently based on if I'm in a long race and being lapped, or I joined mid-race. If I join mid-race, I will if necessary pit, run myself off the track, anything to prevent interfering with the person(s) lapping me.

thats what im focused on. And thats what im talking about.

First
i wasnt talkin about drivers that are lapped say in .. 20 lap race and they started the race just like others - in this case i fully agree with you Tristan

Second
I belive you should use ur head during the race. When i drive and some faster driver is about to lap me i just give him as much space as he needs ( BUT not as much as it wont slow me down - as much as it wont SLOW DOWN THE FASTER DRIVER )
WHY ??
SIMPLE KINDNESS, a little favour for a faster driver - i loose NOTHING but those in race can get their race ruined. Simple as that. Im not sure what EXACTLY blue flag says. I just expect a little kindness thats all !!
I ll repeat - what a big deal is to make way for a faster driver ESPECIALLY when you re not participating in RACE??illepallHELL O !?

Thats what i do , thats what i expect.

And some other example i dont think you ll read about it anywhere in manuals or something like that.
First chicane on Blackwood track. I am first and about to leave that chicane but i make mistake and my car is in rolling over process , behind me are 11 cars that will crash me without doubts - i pressed that damn SHIFT + S ehhh ...

Was there flag "press Shift + S" any flag says about it ??
Next race guy in front of me repeated that - great ! fair play to him , fair play to every fair driving person.

Im not walking jesus , i make mistakes as well , i just want ppl to use their damn heads and to be a little gentelman on track.

Person that gets on track in the middle of the race and blocks others = arsehole - i wont change that opinion.

EDIT

Calum now you wrote that it isnt like that you dont care about others in race what I misunderstood before. I still cant fully agree with you but you made yourself clearer to me.

Quote from Calum :

In my limited experience on the DEMO ( soon to become S2 ) license , then i have found that , if blue flagged before or during a a chicane or series of sharp , close turns , then i reall dont do anything different to be honest. I just concentrate loads on getting to the straight the fastest my car will take me round the track , then of course on the straight way , i just hold the line , and keep going as fast as i can.

I think this is quite a fair way ? surely in real world if a cars going to be blue flagged at the chicane , then they cant do much differently , just wait till the end of it.

Sorry bud , but for me you re typical example od ar*ehole.

Explanation.

Race is in progress and two drivers have been having a close battle for 1st place since 4 laps. Then some prick gets on their way and literally "reall dont do anything different to be honest" and he ruines race of both of them cause usually one of them is blocked/bumped/crashed and second wins without any fight. You propably never had a good battle that lasts for all the race. So.. heres a recipe :

1.Go to a dark room
2. get some ear plugs
3. focus really hard
4 think about above situation "wouldnt be fair to get off the way and let them have fun??? would be??"

hope you ll get to proper conclusion .. or you re just another prick.. so a good person for a ban.

np bud peace

Quote from B2B@300 :

And you have been a demo racer since early 2004 you must be going crazy by now then illepall

i play from time to time - demo fully suits me. I dont mind racing on the same track. Not everybody is a hardcore racer try to understand that.
