/me puts arm around Blackout's shoulder and leads him away from this pointless argument. They won't EVER see it our way but it's down to them. You're banging your head against a brick wall. Just look out for FCV servers. *cough* dMr

Your WAY or no WAY.
I really like when someone can't take the eyes of their own belly button.

Quote from Blackout :

Of course I do. Because I've learn to pay attention what is going on behind me.



Continuing from that. I can't help thinking if the view can actually have effect on how you overtake. At least I try to think if the car in front can see me. I take granted he is using cockpit view because I'm using that myself, and try to show myself according to that. But do chase view drivers think what it's like from the cockpit view? Or do they accidentally put themselfs to impossible places they can't be seen because they think from the chase view?



That should be the default chase view angle I think. I'm not sure though. But I don't understand what you mean by pushing it back more. Shouldn't you see even more like that? The other way I guess, but why would anyone use a view like that you can see more of your own car...

My main point was blind spots anyway, and I think it can be a major factor. And if you are not using the cockpit view, you are not having the LFS experience like it's meant to.

Who said follow cam's don't pay attention ? You see, i ear.
Don't tell me when you got into an accident you press the F12 key, if he's using follow, burn him, if's not he's just a normal noob ...
There's is a lot of blind spots too, a lot, that's why i mention that stupid angle, where the car is so far ahead.
What you are doing is labeling people.



The talk about real experience is rubbish, i could say the same about people using, pads, joysticks, mouses, keyboards, wheels with 2 pedals, etc.

Quote from Blackout :

Rubbish. You obviously haven't driven from cockpit view a lot have you? Especially not the FBM.

Racing is so much about knowing where your opponents are so you don't cause a crash. The attachment should prove this and how the Jesus view can be a huge advantage. To pull on the left side of the road or not is the question?

And btw, it's angle. Angels have wings, fly and play harps.



The advantage of the mirrors is debatable. If i recall correctly, the side mirrors are just the rear view mirror split in two parts (or the rear mirror is the side mirrors combined). So basically, all of us have the same mirror, yours is just floating in mid air.

I agree that all angels probly fly, but not all play harps and have wings.
At some point the car that you don't see, must have been in your MIRROR, if you can't see it no more and he's not in front of you, i'm pretty sure you know were it is.
That follow view angle is very good to make your proof, push it back, and you don't the other car too.

Quote from Polyracer :

Don't have a mental prob at all - if you want to drive your car whilst hanging from a glider that is fastened to your rear bumper - perhaps it someone else that has mental probs.

I don't give a toss how you drive your car, if you can't handle driving from the seat like most real cars are driven (really its true, honest), then that's up to you - but don't tell me that there is no advantage in driving with swingcam, you are kidding yourself - but not me.

As far as I'm concerned if you use swingcam you are playing a driving "game", like some newby ten year old, - get in the seat and sweat it out like the rest of us.

You think its harder - yeah sure it is, but at least you aint got a full face helmet restricting your view - as does your seat, and your movement aint restricted by umpteen layers of fireproof clothing, - and you aint a physical wreck after just a couple of laps of the extreme forces that a real driver is subject to.

Still don't know what is your problem ... all you bring was the game vs sim child talk again.

Don't get upset...

Quote from Polyracer :

Being able to see over the cars in front and down the next straight or around the next bend is a big advantage if you can avoid an obstruction rather than run into it.

And from a racers point of view - mirrors are handy but what is behind you don't matter, getting past you is their problem

Do you have specific problems overtaking this drivers ?
How was it like when you didn't had the F12 key ?
I think you and others must have a mental block dealing with this.

Less idiots posting would be a nice achivement too.

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

No it isn't. Before I got myself a wheel, I was racing with my mouse with both throttle cut and blip off, without any problems. Being as competitive as those with wheels.

Cool video.
The jumping at 1:49 is really nice, but how about gathering some content for an: Epic ?

Fantastic work.
Only need to point 1 thing, since you did an international presentation. i believe the messages on the video should be in english, not everyone can read spanish, i don't have problems, but others might have.

I liked that you avoided accidents were the famous colison system is notorious, there's nothing wrong showing a few accidents, but that's keep the uber flights away .

Can't wait for the next production.

Racing among others is completly diferent.
Plenty of people only drive fast if they get on the top places...other than that and they mess up too.

He cannot be dethroned if he's not playing, well at least thats what i think.

If mighty Chaz thinks Initial D theme song is ok, nothing to point

Me cago...

Quote from MrSkill :

What does this OOS-error mean?
I getting this too, if I try to watch the replay of Flotch's XRR-BL1-WR.

Thats probably because his WR is quite old...

Quote from Blackout :

Here is a skin to go with that.

But it still took a me a few seconds after the "wth, a blank page..??!!?!"

The title was badly chosen.
There are a few chicanes that really are taken almost flat out.
FE1 (1st split)
FE2 (1st split)
AS3 (3rd split)
KY3 (3rd split)

FE chicanes are know for causing some mayhen and very nice flyings.
AS3 and KY3 are about two wheels on grass and thoatle up.

Chicanes are suposed to slow down, really slow down, not lift off or a nudge on the brakes.

For me the best chicane is the at BL and BL rev, where people really have to brake hard, there no way of cutting (on BL standard it's possible to cut on the exit).

And btw, chicanes does separate men from boys, chicanes were built to slooooooow down.

The UF1 spins a lot mainly because of the short wheel base.

Really ?
I thought i saw some yellow strippes there...but the point is: get upside down .

Quote from zeugnimod :

I dont see a sccc car.

Im pretty sure its Fusion.

See that "i got hit by so many and end up bottoms up" car ? Everyone avoided him when it was wheels up...a tip to follow at Bump & Jump.

Quote from nihil :

Ha ha.... yeah, I don't really think you took Becky's point onboard. Another good example is Casey Stoner. Last year he was willing to go for those chances and earned himself the nickname "Crashey Stoner". So he got married, calmed down, started thinking and there are very few riders capable of beating him at the moment.

And don't anyone try the "but the Ducati is so much quicker than anything else" argument. Even if its true, Casey is so obviously a better rider than he was last year.

Does this means that if Rossi's marries, he will be unstopable ?

B.
Even if C had given space, driver B was coming too fast for that corner, after the incident B was still pushing C to the outside.
Typical diving.

Quote from mrodgers :

I drive3 a car and haven't been able to see the hood from the driver's seat since I got rid of my 1979 Ford Fairmont Futura in 1988.

Are you that short .
