ok, now give us a bmw m6 in lfs please .

the car looks great.

f1 ist too stressful for poor fetzonk...

but,

i also drove xrr and fz50 and both cars feel great. i absolutely love it. great work at the physics. i had lots of fun


thx

@tukko:
i think the short wheelbase makes the ufr more difficult to control. i have to admin, that i haven't driven the xfr very much.

it's my choice in the xfr/ufr-class. the car is indeed big fun.
and i think it looks cooler than the xfr .

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Clue: No they haven't changed. Shame about the UFR especially, such a fun car but nobody drives it because it's so ugly.

no one drives it, because the xfr is easier to control and faster. same goes for gti/gt and fxo/gtt+rb4.

tbh, i think aston grand touring is not necessary. i like the other one though.

like tukko i hoped for a rx track.

imho trailbraking is easier with the brake bias more to the front. the rear is way more stable.

if i have to brake hard after a fast straight, i can use the engine to slow down quicker.

i hope the news for today will be something i wasn't expecting .

i want that patch!

Quote from B2B@300 :

Just to make a comment about the imbalances, sometimes its a good thing for example I was in a GTi but a sec or so off WR pace but Takumi was in a GT at WR pace so we had some great battles and close racing because of the imbalance in car performance, that wouldn't have happened with perfectly balanced cars

well, good for you (because you prefer the faster car). for racers who like the gt these imbalances are bad, especially if you don't race at WR-pace or you have opponents in the gti who are normally as fast as yourself. i want to see more GTs on GTI/GT servers. the only way to get this, is by making the gt faster / the gti slower.

it's just nicer to have 'fair' battles and not being the permanent underdog.

i enjoy racing tbo a lot these days. it is very nice that a lot of fxo drivers place a passenger in their car to even out the field a little.

i am not very ambitious when i am racing, but i like close racing.

70 additional kilogramms in the fxo and you don't even notice any advantage for the xrt+rb4, so much for the balance.

cmon beta-testers, do your job .

finally some spectators on the grandstands! so THAT was the big surprise!

good work devs

Quote from Becky Rose :

You can drive the whole thing except the start/finish section. You might have trouble recreating the mulsanne chicanes without wrong siding a roundabout, but it's all public road except the complex. The fact that parts of it are tree lined is because it's in France, and they like their trees .

i think, he meant that some sections of le mans are unaccessable to the public DURING a race (no opportunity to watch that sections as a visitor).

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Doesn't sound like a simple name change to me. Were you in the pits when AdminShadow 'took over' from you?

i think it's nothing like that. he just changed his profile while being online. iirc the 'took over'-message will appear then too.

edit: oh, bal00 already said that.

Quote from Frags :

Oh and TeamSpeak can reach you, when your not at home ?
Guess there's some new features to TeamSpeak that I don't know of

well, i guess proteam-drivers ARE at home during endurance races and they do have a schedule.

@Marsh2a
maybe the government has seen that getting rid of the immigrants would be impossible + not very clever.

they are working very hard. they don't commit crimes ( if they are caught their american dream is over). they are very important for the economy.

but i really like how you ignored the rest of roadrunners post. it's actually the typical way of responding to posts like roadrunner's. i have already experienced that in several forums (especially deviantart, try to say something "bad" about the u.s. there! (zomg)).

we are talking about the picture other countries have of the U.S.. it's more about what the u.s. is doing to the rest of the world, pls don't try to distract.

denmark is soooo flat

Quote from mr_x :

i think there might be a new rallyx track, and if theres more than 1 then a road track aswell.

i know theres no dirt tracks... but surely they can be moddled in a year... never know till the patch i suppose!

i really hope it will be a rallyx config!

as sinbad said, a new corner isn't really that exciting .

it also would be nice to make historic and GP a little more different.

hehe, my phone does work even without the new feature, frankmd.

well michael moore could not be as "fair and balanced" as fox news, eh? .

there are lots of documentaries about the US, the military industrial complex, the iraq war and the plans made for it a decade ago that are far more trustworthy than 9/11 by michael moore.

michael moore is in the first place an entertainer, but that doesn't mean he isn't right in many things. maybe a little "unfair and unbalanced" in some topics :P.

i agree with you, farcar.

but when i read comments like that one from infiniti i can hardly resist to do the opposite.

but as vykos said:

As usual in such a situation: Relax, choose another post, and enjoy reading that. That's the way it worked the last years and works today.

...just don't call users crackers just because they have only a demo license. there are hundrets of possibilities how a demo racer could have experienced/seen s2 content.

the field is well done , but i think we need an update of the crash physics first .

Quote from Vykos69 :

You are lapped, so:

- stay on your line on straight, dont brake or lift as long as other is behind you. Why? Cause this way your behaviour is most predictable, and lapping driver can adjust to that.
- take outside line in turns and let faster pass inside easily.

DONT CHANGE YOUR LINE ON STRAIGHT IF OTHER CAR APPROACHES YOU FROM BEHIND!! THIS WILL CAUSE A MESS!

Gunn, I appreciate your c&p effort But it is actually really really simple.

*agree*

i just want to mention that the most common situation with blue flags on a public server is the one that the "lapped" driver joined the race after it started some time ago.

imho, the driver who has joined the race later has no right to hinder the leading drivers AT ALL. he has to be very careful and has to take evasive actions even before the field is approaching.

the driver normally has no right to be on track anyway. so he has to
'disappear' when participating racers show up behind him.

yep the white one . he was quiet careful before i don't understand why he did this move there. the leading driver couldn't possibly forseen that one.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Pardon? I said the only realistic view is one from the cockpit with very low FOV. I did not say that my view was any more realistic than his

well that would be realistic if the drivers are wearing blinders . as i said, there is no realistic view with a standard monitor-setup. everything is a compromise.

Quote from AndroidXP :

I'm using cockpit view with 68° FOV. Personally, I can't stand a high FOV, it makes me motion sick.

I used to race like that but it's not exactly realistic. To make it realistic you'd need to use the standard cockpit view with a very low FOV, like 30° or something. If you move the camera position forward like you do, it's like you're driving with your chin on the steering wheel and I hope you don't do that IRL . On the first glance it might look quite close to RL, but if you think about it for a while, it becomes apparant that you have way too high FOV for that position.

It makes driving much easier though, and it's still far more realistic than any wheels or nothing-at-all view.

none of the views is exactly realistic with a standard monitor , the standard cockpit view neither. well i don't know how far away your monitor is, but for a 68° view it must be pretty close to your eyes .

Quote from Infiniti :

Well hard to explain, I picked the in cockpit view cause technically it is inside But just so you guys can get an idea.. here ya go see attached

thats exactly the view i use. i also picked the cockpit option.

and its more realistic than the standard cockpit view.
