Seems like the UMTS signal is so weak that network reliability takes a hit. You could try changing your terminal equipment or service provider, but that kind of connections rarely work well when it comes to gaming.
This isn't fun at all anymore. My racing hours have reduced significally because of this stupid problem, it's no longer a "sit and go hobby", it's a "take off all your clothes, restart your pc into windows, update antivirus software, run lfs, get sweaty, have a shower, wear some clean clothes, restart the pc again and file a few reports" -hobby.
On summer it's a lot worse since my apartment is 4-5deg. celsius hotter!
GTR demo I drove for 30 minutes, GTL demo few hours, GTR2 demo about three laps and rFactor every now and then at my brother's.
LFS and RBR from the day I met them and still going...
I don't miss the rear view feature at all. If you have seatbelts, or even better, a HANS device, you won't be turning your head to watch back in any car.
A classic question, we get lots of these, and there's no reason for you to shame on about asking such.
There really are lots of people who are determined to drift even though they have no idea how to do it. (It just looks so cool!)
1) Approach a corner on 2nd or 3rd gear in a RWD car
2) Press the rightmost pedal all the way down and keep it there
3) Fiddle that round thing in your hands so that you navigate through the corner
In my opinion a drift is a state where the car is oversteering*. Is it reasonable with a 60 hp fwd car is another subject.
Somebody may think that you need an RWD car to drift, and somebody might think that you need to link x many corners to call it a drift. You can argue about the subject endlessly and never end up anywhere.
But that doesn't change the fact that this is not general LFS discussion, or not even discussion at all. And I can't be arsed to reboot into Windows to check the replay, you could have made a video of it in youtube (if it's not blocked by china government) and post it in the video section.
