soooo, what _exacty_ did happen, 510N3D?

i think the cars in enthusia indeed feel more real than the ones in gt4. but the game mode and doing the setups in that game is just terrible. some great tracks but also some really weird ones (arcadish).

gt4, many many beautiful cars (definately enough great cars besides the skylines) + VERY beautiful, fun tracks. i think the physics are, for a console game, quiet decent + lots of fun. it's a great game.


p.s.:
i have no dfp so i couldn't play the game with a real wheel. just with a RC-Car -style controller.

let the chase cam drivers have their mirror .

i use cockpit but i couldn't care less about what view other racers are using. if they race fair and clean they could even use helicopterview and i wouldn't bother.

i really don't understand why some ppl need to force their point of view ( ) on others.

the domination of the fxo never changed and i cannot understand the harm if they at least TRY to balance the tbo class.

or, just as i proposed in another thread: implement server controlled penalty weights for the classes. the community will manage the balancing in no time.

and again a nice backup from the USA in the UNO......

it's terrible what israel is doing down there. they haven't accomplished a big hit against the hisbollah yet and mostly kill civilians while destroying their homes.

now they managed to bomb a uno camp....

hmm, most parts of the webpage won't work for me. i am using firefox .
...and i just wanted to check, if i am still a member.
wake me up when the webpage is working and i ll give it another try.

p.s.:
i don't see the point in releasing a not working website. it doesn't help the whole project.

Quote from ajp71 :

My suggestion for an option for the running list for those who like a minimal HUD would be a display of the car in front and behind you on the road and the gap to them. Cars lapping you displayed in green, cars you're lapping in blue and those racing for position colourless like a simplified N2003 F2 screen. Also it would be nice if it could show up in shift + F along with blue/yellow flags displayed in that corner of the screen.

+1: it would be nice to have a smaller display for the gaps.

don't you try to blame this desaster on Thor.

he seems to be the most sensible FM-member who posted in this thread.

Quote from Captain Slow :

all of above, my sis boyfreind has an mx-5, no match for her seat ibiza sport 130bhp with 6 gears :P, a man should never have a worse car than his lass

well the ibiza is fwd and the mx5 rwd. so cars are just right. a girl's car for the girl and a real one for the guy .

p.s.:
i am sure the mx5 would destroy the ibiza on any track with more than 2 turns .

Teamspeak

When typing just take your time - I quite often spend 3 or 4 laps typing a sentence, grabbing one or two keys per straight.

I just wish the text box was a couple of inches higher on the screen, not where you want to look. In fact this might be a good thing to suggest for Scawen to tweak in U16

but arent you losing ffb for that time? is there a way to have ffb during the chat?

after reading this thread, i would like to change my vote.

you have to see that you guys are somehow representing your team in this thread.
better manners and a little more reflection on your own posts could have definately improved your reputation. instead you mostly answered in a quiet immature way and managed to alienate even the most understanding users.

Quote from zeugnimod :

But these miles shown there are almost exclusively driven with the fastest car (pre-patch FO8, post-patch BF1).

The other tracks are also driven with UF1, XFG/XRG... Takes a little bit longer to drive 1 km, doesnt it?

...used by the fastest cars that do not even need to brake. i think the average speed on the oval is twice as high as on "normal" tracks.

edit: ajp71 was faster.

trying to cure lack of respect by wrecking is paradox.
wrecking other ppl is a sign of no respect for others at all.

this fishing-for-compliments didn't really work out like it should have, eh?

the votes from the FM-racers couldn't turn the tide either, hmmm

Quote from Jamexing :

Honestly, Oval racing is quite decent in LFS, though not sufficiently done. ...

have you tried nascar 2003? that's what i call "decent". racing the bf1 in the oval feels weird.

btw.:
the oval racers got destroyed by everyone else when i was at the race of champions 2 years ago, but as i said: this isn't about RL Oval racing.

no one is bashing oval-racing IRL. it's just about the oval racing in lfs.

hrhr this is sooo (stereo)typical .

it seems to me that oval drivers aren't very confident in their own "skill". i cannot think of another reason they have to discuss this over and over, everytime it's brought up.

drinking a lot of beer without passing out can be trained too, but is that "skill"?
anyway, if someone wants to argue with me about that, i will say: "you know nothing!! you haven't drunk enough beer to have a clue about skill!"

-1 no need for something like that. this is just a forum!

Quote from 510N3D :

what about this one: the current oval requires zero skill level

thats the same for me but a bit more offence then my QUESTION.

but that wasn't SamH's point! he is saying that if you have an argument with someone else, you shouldn't point at his "stats" as a response, you should try to discuss.

p.s.:
i would say, oval racing requires a 0.08 skill level ( IN LFS! i have driven Nascar 2003, this IS challenging). zero is a little harsh. drag racing however requires only a 0.05 skill level.

Quote from Vain :

Please don't talk about "the XF" or "the XR", because there are no such cars in LFS. There're the XFG, XRG, XRT, XFR and XRR in LFS. So please call them by their abbrevation or name. That will avoid confusion.

Vain

sorry about that. i forgot that there are new racers (like you) who aren't used to the original names of the cars.

honestly i don't know what you are talking about. the XR and the XF seem to be quiet balanced right now. you are mixing everything here.

are you talking about hardtrack or rallycross? in rallycross the XR will never be able to beat the XF, because of it's weight.

on hardtracks both cars are noobproof to drive and equally fast.

Quote :

...whilst the FF should have the edge on mixed surfaces (Rallycross) to show the stability benefits of FWD....

you know that there are that few RWD rallycross cars because in most classes you need homoligated cars? there are just no homoligated RWD cars! except the little BMW (which isn't a good choice).

in classes where non-homoligated cars are allowed RWDs are as competetive as FWDs.

try the XRT and after that the FXO at blackwood rx. you will see that the fxo is far more stable, but with some experience (and a fair weight/power ratio) a XRT Driver definately can beat the FXO.

unfortunately the unfair advantage of the FXO is known since the first good setups in S1. unfortunately the devs chose to ignore this.

because you need more skill to race side by side through a turn, where you actually have to brake or at least lift the throttle.
