I suppose you also asked Victor if you can use his HTML source code on your downloads page?

Quote from dUmAsS :

i pick it up on saturday

Almost every day I counter one of these at the way back home and somehow I feel the roughly my aged male driver who wears sunglasses and drives fast a bit funny in that car, even though I could easily buy the same car if I had the money

But nevertheless, UK is the promised land of Swifts, Saxos and Clios

btw. that's fifth post this week that involves (harmless) jokes about foreign countries

Quote from Taavi(EST) :They should at least spell check their ad.

Hilarious. But not as funny as Finnish user manual on a Korean tent I bought for a rock festival

Mine came with two years warranty, and I wouldn't think twice before getting it fixed if the H-shifter jumped from 2nd to 4th...

Quote from ImportFantasy :Im using tape lmao.Im using Sequential because of how damn annoying it is when im using 2nd and then shifts to 4th -_-.

1) LMFAO at your side/emergency/whatever brake you call handbrake over there
2) How about taking your wheel to warranty replacement if it's broken?

Quote from spankmeyer :Use less time for web design - more time buying S2.

Actually using more time for both may not be that bad idea

Good suggestion, considering that MRT has a wheel mounted PDA as a dashboad these days. http://fsae.mcgill.ca/en/elecen.php

But once again, are we driving today's MRT / RAC / BF1 or the one that was made into the game?
And you don't really need the dashboard at all once you learn to recognise shifting points by engine noise.

Looked so nice in Taavi's still image comparison.
But when driving it's really really stupid no matter how I try to set it up. Blooms the menu too. I've seen enough

I was bored at work, and made a rough finnish translation. I don't use this program, but if some finn does and wants to translate it, feel free to take a head start and just correct where I may have failed. (obvious spots marked with a question mark)

Depends on your budget, but I'd say that the Logitech G25 has the best value for money. (To get any better than that you have to triple your budget). If G25 is too expensive, go for a used Logitech Driving Force Pro .

Just repeating what others have said, but you do need a 900 deg. wheel to get the most out of LFS. Whether you want to do that, is up to you.

A fresh idea to improve graphics, huh?

How could LFS determine if the player's controller is clipping or not?

Quote from only.one.RydeR :Why not just make 'after rain' effect so that the road is shinier, slippier and the sky is dark? That would do me already. It will be interesting how you can drift with wet conditions.

Because we are playing a game that tries to simulate everything as well as it can.

Doing something sloppy that would be redone anyway just slows down the ultimate process.

Ok, that's convincing enough, how could I not to believe that.

Now you can shut up in this thread too (until you buy a ferrari for your mom...)

Quote from BoneCrusher :It's not unrealistic, even F1 uses it. Only they can't display a ghostcar on the road. If they could, I'm sure they would!
They use the datalogging for comparing the laptime, to the the previous lap, but also to the fastest lap, simply by a 2D presentation of the track and cars. A ghostcar is an easy and fast way of comparing the datalogs.
Computer simulation provides these tools that are not possible in the real world, why not use that?

Now that's something that could be added if you ask me. Already possible with external tools but I'd like to see more analyzing possibilities included in the game itself.
Quote from BoneCrusher :the car is displayed as usual, only the collision detection is turned off. Not that hard to do I think.

But now you are talking about another thing, which is unrealistic, stupid and hopefully not going to happen ever, nor in F1 or in LFS.

The slow cars in CTRA 1 make races more tighter, but also easier and thus most of the grid tend to overdrive and not consider others enough.

You have finished 1 / 13 races on CTRA, causing about two yellow flags per each driven lap and are looking for cleaner racing? No offense, but the best and easiest way to have cleaner races is to look in the mirror and think about what are you doing wrong.

Quote from halo :Agree on that Gnomie.
One sim with different options like you suggested is maybe the answer.

I have a wheel but no clutch pedal, I can use button as a clutch. Will it be more realistic? I guess no.

When you have control over something rather than computer doing it for you, it's more realistic of course.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :Also, I've never tried, but I'd imagine using button clutch on a wheel would feel odd and confusing...

I drove from 2005 through 2007 with a clutch button under my thumb, and was perfectly happy It's not bad at all if you can't afford a pedal.

Apart from drag starts (combination of clutch slip and tyre spinning, I've understood that autoclutch does this well ) I can't see why the clutch couldn't be an on/off button. The game should be accessible for keyboarders of course, but that doesn't require auto blips, cuts, clutches, braking, throttle or steering help...

Quote from Speed Soro :(which is very very easy to rise up and very difficult to fall down).

Inspired by bladerunner, I took that Nilex XFG set to Blackwood, started with full gas, flatshifted for 5 laps lifting the gas only when braking, even made a full throttle pit stop but couldn't heat it to red (even though it slipped a little bit after 10 minutes of brutal abuse).

Of course it's very very easy to heat up if you try it, you can really do it in 5 or 10 seconds. But you have to be a complete retard to accidentally fry it during a race. And now after that experiment I'm even more certain that it shouldn't cool down if it's red!
