You don't have a Visa Electron card?

Janezki used to deal licences for poor underaged finns, but he disappeared ages ago

Quote from legoflamb :

Where do you get on the throttle? (asking anyone)

It may be dependant of the car driven

^^ I 100% agree with you three

Quote from Forbin :

Given even a remotely recent video card (GF4 and up, Radeon 8500 and up), my experience has been that minimum framerate in LFS is always, without exception, limited by the CPU.

I agree with that. Anything above 6800 Ultra / x800 XT, or maybe even slower cards can run LFS fine when details maxxed, and the minimum FPS (that matters when aiming for smooth experience) after that is dependant on CPU.

Quote from atlantian :

even awd can't do this, you need pure RWD power and have nothing interfere

What if that AWD had 1% of power transmitted to front wheels and 99% back? Wouldn't it be able to power oversteer? Or how about ratios like 20% or 25% front?

(nothing anymore)

Quote from Lateralus :

Eh? Works fine for me; I do it all the time.

On my old PC I couldn't always restore LFS to the screen after that. And on my current PC alt+tabbing makes the dashboard and mirrors appear as pixel mess.

Quote from Lateralus :

No, it isn't. That's precisely my point. If the throttle isn't being used to directly control (as opposed to indirectly control with a FWD car) the slip angle of the rear of the car, it isn't drifting. Oversteer does not equal drift.

Webster's New Millenium Dictionary of English defines drifting as "an extreme motor sport in which race cars slide sideways on racetrack turns". Wikipedia defines drifting as "a sport where drivers intentionally induce oversteer, to be judged on their technique" and "the condition where a motor vehicle's rear wheels slip at a greater angle than the front wheels".

According to them, oversteer equals drift.
No matter what you say in a topic that has something to do with drifting, you're going to get contradicting answers...

No idea what drags me into these topics, but by definition it is drifting.

Quote from Dutch-ALfa :

sometimes when i ALT TAB from LFS, or choose anything in the Menu.. i get black screen and it wont turn back on!

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but alt+tabbing isn't recommended with LFS because it hardly works. Instead you should use shift+F4 if you want to visit the desktop.

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

It doesent matter if you sell half a gram or 1 kg of drug. Drugs are still drugs and selling them makes it even worse. Hopefully you learnt your lesson.

I don't think one should respect stupid old laws that are just there because of slow byrocracy(sp?), if morale says otherwise. And it's ridiculous to assume (by the cops) that he was selling it if he only carried like one dose, it's like police pulled you over for speeding and claimed you tried to run away just because you didn't hit brakes at the same second...

The lesson here is: be careful with intoxicants at young age (as they can easily do damage to developing mind) and don't get caught

lol, squidhead

On topic: Penalizing like that is really stupid, but don't you guys agree that a 15-year-old shouldn't need to carry any intoxicants in school?

+1 !

At least road car classes should have this option. But first we need drivable and realistic default setups.

edit: by the way, the auto search gave you this. And it was "revisited" in 2005...

I can stand if you make a crap(ish) suggestion topic once a week, but bumping them several times per day for no reason is ridiculous if you ask me

Off topic section perhaps?

And yes, the world is getting commercial, but what can we do? Money talks.
Prices are going up heaps at least in here, but wages aren't..
Maybe WW III resets everything like has happened before.

Now the race 2 server has been crowded two last times I've been racing.

Great racing, I only wish it became even more popular

I'd like to take my first reply back. You are going downhill again

Oh. I was a bit out of track then

That's the dodgy site I meant, but didn't have a closer look apart from those spelling errors and "free patch y"...

Quote from kamkorPL :

Don't compare the skill that it takes to race fast to the skill it takes to drift averagely. Compare it to the skill that you need to drift perfect in any situation.

I stick to my point and will compare average drifting on average drift server to average racing on average race server, which of the first one takes 0 minutes to adapt (so you can go sideways through corners to be able to call it drifting) and latter one maybe 10 minutes. (So you can keep up with others to be able to call it racing).

Of course of higher levels of these both forms of motorsport requires higher skill level, but I never claimed it wouldn't :|

Quote from kamkorPL :

nisskid: To me it is pretty simple. Every of those who criticize drift and say how easy it is should just post a replay of them doing a very close twin drift with someone on a long track or at least some very good replay. Otherwise what they say is absolutelly worthless.

Doing a very close twin drift isn't something one can do without setting up the car or practising lines, nor something you find from average lfs drift server. But I should prolly shut up now, because I don't know enough about drifting.

Since you asked for it, I must say that G25 is a really good value for the money.

I've found Ikea stuff really easy to assemble unlike some other furniture.

Quote from m374llic4 :

. Drifting is not easy either, sure you can slide it once or twice then you spin out and stall.

Sheesh : P people think its just floor it and turn the wheel and see what happens.

When was the last time you spinned on your own in LFS? If you have at least a bit of car control skills, you don't spin.

Maybe in real life (noticed that you own a driftable car) drifting is hard, setups matter and so on, but LFS is so forgiving that an experienced player really can just floor it and see what happens.

Why have you bought LFS from suspicious 2nd hand party, when www.lfs.net just works?

EDIT: Glad you got it working anyway. Welcome to S2 and happy birthday!
