Good evening folks, I thought I should revive this thread by introducing a new ratio - BORING COMBO RATIO!

counting the laps like this:
(FOX@BL GP + GTR@AS NAT) / Total laps driven = BCR

(354 + 73) / 5052 = 0,08
Damn, I've driven 8% of my total laps at boring combos...

Quote from pasibrzuch :

Oh vtec vtec, what is wrong with this? In Japan it was the smartest way to have engines with 150% power of europan engines, with capacity and better fuel restrictions. Japanese point of view on technology is nearly always long time before Europe or US are.
Germans will build 15litre 8-turbos 128valve with 32 intercoolers engine, but Japan engineers can do the same with 6 litre NA engine and give 5 years guarantee for it! It's just different country, different point of view, and ricers using it are just making an idiot looking from cool technology.

I agree with you that V-TEC is a great invetion, and wouldn't be surprised if my next car had one. But how is V-TEC going to serve you in LFS, when you don't need to pay for the gas? Sure it would make racing interesting, but its about as sensible as removing 3rd and 4th gear from XRT (racing-wise).

And RB26DETT, whoever wanted that... Why? This engine's pro's are.. high tuning potential, two chargers and good strength. Are you going to tune it? I don't think so.. Is it the only twinturbo engine in the world? I don't think so.. Strength? Well, this is propably a considerable factor in S3, but can be solved by Scawen with "eng_str = 15,5;"

What I'm trying to say - this engine thing is just like real cars. Ricey, and waste of time and money. I think the devs will produce enough of interesting car classes without these ricey engines. I rank them into the same category with low-res Nissan headlights in a low-res XRT skin.

Quote from deggis :

That's why you can't even mention LFS on other boards because you'd be labelled as a fanboy.

Yeah, and the labellers are not labelling themselves as fanboys because they like more than one game, even they were 96% identical. You guys have now finally convinced me to stop reading it, and I think it just does good for my health

EDIT: I was just informed that I will keep reading, so I apologize for what I said earlier. Sorry AutoSimSport, I luv ya!

Quote from Linsen :

they can't rely on articles about a certain product written by "fanboys" (no pun intended) of that particular product.

I have been reading ASS for about 6 months, an I think it couldn't go worse. The paper is so full of bullcrap, that a FanBoi-written article about LFS would just perfectly fit in.

my 2 cents..

Of course I want SR26BRFDETT with kickass V-TEC sounds, tofu stickers on it, quadro exhaust and turbo wastegate that sings louder than Tina Turner!

Honestly, I don't care what engine there is running under the hood, as long as I've got 15 more of them on the track with me

Sweet modelling, and even more sweeter idea!

Quote from tristancliffe :

Which film is it (Bond?) when he puts an unpinned grenade in a jar, so that only when the jar breaks does the handle fly off allowing the grenade to detonate?

It's a classic booby trap, used quite widely even today in middle-east.

Hey, I was without Internet AND Steering wheel for 5 weeks (november - > january)!

It doesn't kill you as long as you have enough booze or drugs to cover that

UAZ Hunter

It is a classic military vehicle, and Jeep (what it's copied from) is even more classic car

Ok.. wider crop like I promised..

Quote from SamH :

@Viper93.. kewl! Multi-race strategies.. that's very appealing! (and a sizeable portion of the purpose behind these public servers!) I hope this is Scawen's plan, then. Although ANYTHING to balance the class out would be welcome, I have to say!

We used passenger penalties in CRC Mini League, didn't work too well with UF1's and a minimum penalty of 80kg (a passenger), but it gave a nice preview what to expect when we really ARE able to put weight in the cars

Still impresses me, The Obstacle :headbang:

Quote from DTrott :

But is it European?

Yes, East-Europe.

Tips..hmm..

It's a relatively small car, but weighs over 1,5 ton. AFAIK it only comes in green.

The manufacturer isn't familiar at all (And not from America not Africa), but as already mentioned, it's a remake of a classic model, which itself is a "remake" of even more classic car.

No, and no.

It isn't British, but it's original model (this is a modernized remake) is well-known all over the world.

Quote from Stew2000 :

I never heard of it O.O

Propably because they haven't released it yet

This is not a popular car either, but I can widen the crop if it seems too hard..

KTM X-bow?

Quote from Funnycat :

Throw up because of what? the words? or the *melody*?

Both. Also the appearance of the band members is "funny".

Quote from Funnycat :

Also that song caused kinda mayhem here in Russia, it melted everyone's brains, lol

Yes, that's what I was talking about. Sick stuff.

Thats one of the best motorsport vids ever!
Great classic.

So this thread was pointless since the first post, and only offered another opportunity for stupid drift disses and even more stupid defends?

Way to go, Riders Motion

Quote from Vain :

3. Yesterday I fraps'd another replay.

Thanks for the credit, Vain!
Though I only had patience to watch the first two minutes. Would have been better if you had shown only your defending on the last laps - 12 minutes of video-game (sry scavier, just wanna sound more dramatic) onboard video is too much for anybody..

Still I haven't got a drifter-answer for the question I asked on 1st page; "Is there speed drift competitions?"

Not a bad list, but I'd like to see some new 4WD's rather than 5 versions of RB4

Nice topic, no one has to guts to admit they are aliens, nor slow.
Well, me neither cos I'm really a midfielder too
