I'd say, if you were hopeless at track driving before spending alot of time with a sim, you'd probably be a bit less hopeless after, but driving the car on the limit, "approaching your in game lap times", absolutely not.

Many full grid races/starts, no problems at all.

Quote from lucky :

Dont be too slow so noone will cahtch you
Seriously: if you cinsider that on the outside you can go to edge of track on exit, but inside guy cant (bacause he has to leave space for you) and has to astrat corner from inside, you'll see that there are wery few corners like you described.

There are many corners where the ideal line aims straight for the inner curb.

Quote from lucky :

And if it happens, it happen - or would you like to crash to prve your point? Cause I'd be on the inside if you like it or not ...

You shouldn't be on the inside if you didn't have overlap at turn-in, thus it should not happen, if there'd be a crash it would be your fault.

Quote from lucky :

And what cutting of yre you dreaming about?

First tight left hander at Aston National for example, the line heads from outer curb straight to inner curb, cutting someone off is very simple, and not fun racing.

Quote from lucky :

when there's more tha 1 driver going for same piece of track, they both (or all) better know how to share it

Yup, and they should also know when to share it.

The RaceAbout content might be available on some kind of intranet, whilst liveforspeed.net wouldn't.

Quote from lucky :

All corners allow side by side, it's just that in some outside line is quite fast and in some not so fast. And in case you mention: why stop? You leave him 1 car width from inside curb and that's it (until apex). If he hits you, it's his fault. If he takes inside line then he must stick to it, not slide out because he misjudged braking. And anyway: he brake too late, you let him slide out and resume your place in front ...

And in the corners where the outside line is "not-so-fast", slowing down enough to allow side-by-side traffic can render the inner line faster, so you're basically just letting a car pass (which, in my view, had not even started overtaking in the first place). Your philosophy seems to allow blatant cutting of someone's line, and suggesting the driver being cut off should just leave room because that's somehow safe and fun racing.

I'd say having simple prerequisites to when two drivers are supposed to organize taking a corner side by side, when to yield etc. is alot safer.

Quote :

And "blocking" on the straighjt: in my opinion only 1 move should be alloowed, so if you move off line to cover an overtaking move you shold not be allowed to return to racing line. Once you start moving (for example) left, you should not be allowed bo move back right.

Fully agree.

Such expensive solutions, keep it simple.

Quote from Greboth :

Back on topic for a minute - has anyone got the solution for level 43 cascade.

Break stuff.

Quote from lucky :

I agree 100%. It's really simple: the one that turns into another vehice is to be blamed for the accident, whether he's in front or back a bit, outside or inside. Always give room, and if yoiu're not 100% there's enaough room to take the racing line drive as ther's someone alongside ...
It's about fun and safe racing, not blaming each other for avoidable accident.

Easy to see your point, but i really disagree.

Many corners don't allow side-by-side traffic, anyone can "outbrake" into a tight corner on the inside, putting themselves basically onto the inner curb with 90% of the turning still left to do, the driver on the outside would basically need to stop and just let the "outbraking genius" get thru.

Quote from spsamsp :

.. when i cant do it, i cant do it.

Oh but you can, just find a tiny bit of patience. Level 37 isn't hard, if you've not solved it yet you've just not looked at it long enough.

Pulley lifts armadillo with the scoop thing, stop the scoop and make armadillo fall out and into the warp thingie.

Should be quite possible with the new outgauge stuff.

I used a rocket on 42, too.

One feature I WOULDNT like to see is:

LFS BINGO

Bingo is a great idea for an insim mod!

Quote from nutty boy :

I think i'm gonna gave gamecam I try but I need to know is it TOTALLY free to download and if you need to download a trial version can someone gave me the exact link to a download for it.

There's a "lite" (free) version, if you click on "gamecam lite" on the website you might just find it.

Quote from nutty boy :

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

Try another media player, VLC and mplayer have their own codec libraries and will play pretty much anything.

Quote from Johannes :

I tried gamecam but as far as I can see you can not select framerate nor resolution.

You can, but it's not very straightforward.

Why should the devs put in extra effort for more support to someone who doesn't support the devs?

You could try GameCam, not as streamlined as fraps but it's faster and does compression on-the-fly.

Quote from nutty boy :

I searched and it's bring up a wordpad file saying I haven't got the latest DirectX version and 2 about saying what to do if there's a missing d3d8.dll thing. It also brang up d3d8.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32.

I meant one of kegetys mods such as ghostcar / motion blur, the d3d8.dll would be in the same directory as LFS.exe.

My thingie is pretty much complete, if all else fails it'll be available.

Was a good coding exercise even if it's not going to be used for this.

Quote from nutty boy :

I've downloaded Fraps but everytime I record LFS crashes.

If you've got one of kegetys d3d8.dll's in your lfs directory, try renaming it before you record.

Quote from Jakg :

right, what i meant was what does the file have to be originally (ie, encoded as ogg, wav etc)

raw, in the correct format.

Quote from MonkOnHotTinRoof :

Do you have path to cfg file added to target field in properties of shortcut to lfslapper.exe ?

Why not let lapper automatically load a standard named .cfg if there's none provided by commandline?

Quote from Jakg :

hmmmmm, how do i open a .raw file to play the music? isnt .raw for pics? and how can i replace the sounds?

'raw' are three letters added to the end of a filename, the content can be whatever you want.

You can edit the sound files in any editor which supports the format, soundforge seems to autodetect the format which is quite handy.

teh score.
