Had a great race, plenty of folks to race with and really fast.

Few heros forgetting that there were 60 laps caused some problems but it was a good race for me, was close at the end when the tires were worn but a good 2nd place.

Guy come on. You race in a race server, you cruise in a cruise server and you drift in a drift server.

You obviously don't drift in a racing server, you'll get in the way and cause problems, you can hang the rear out when using some cars but thats not full blown drifting round every turn.

If you have to ask then you are going to get banned from loads of places.

There is a mandatory pit stop (always in the GP's), don't know why he doesn't add it in so I've edited it.

No time limits, pit whenever you want, except on the very last lap, you must stop in the box.

My wheel(s) have always been plugged into the computer (USB) I never really unplug it. Only turn the power off at the plug.

I just wouldn't use the cost of a game to determine if it's good or not.

Quote from carey :Not on release, but generally it does eventually correlate with popularity (with the exception of race-pro).


You're lucky then, as I've seen a lot of other people having the same issues (although my throttle sensitivity one seems to be unique).

You do see the fairly large flaw in that logic and how you could easily be tricked into buying a shit, expensive game?

I don't know anyone with calibration problems, I can't remember anyone of my group of LFS chums having persistant problems (and it's been a good few years).

I would say you are unlucky to have problems.

You're not saying that the higher price of something says something about how good the game is are you?

I have no problems with having to recalibrate my wheel. Got my G25 a month or so and not touched it sinice I installed it, before that with the DFP probably never touched it for months and months.

Might be a good idea to post with that account then.

It will save on people telling you that things are S2 and it won't make you look dodgy.

I never said anything about not liking contact or being pretentious.

Just added thought, my personal view that I don't do it but if others want to then they can.

I don't like it, if others want to then, meh. I'm sure it will all come to a head at some point

Meh, I would have thought bump drafting would not be allowed in leagues, things tend to me serious so I would have thought it would be a problem.

p.s. I have never heard of the iTCC so that means nothing to me.

I don't like bump drafting, if someone starts doing it to me then I ask them to stop. If people want to bump draft on a public server then, meh, I do kinda see it as cheating but not really so much I'd say or do something about it. If someone beat me by bump drafting then thats the way I see it, to beat me you had to do that

I'm pretty sure bump drafting would/is not allowed in league races so that really tells you everything you need to know.

If you can't see the difference between drafting and bump drafting then you really are not in the same world I am. Too me the difference is clear.

Quote from BlueFlame :He had full right hand lock, if he'd have done a 360 he would of drove into the track and caused another crash, the point he dumped the clutch there was still cars coming his way!!! Why are his wheels freely rotating when he's on the tarmac? He's either a pillock, or a wrecker. Eitherway, he probobly gets money from sponsors and it was the last race of the day and I don't even think Airwaves is his team (tho he has had teams in btcc in the past)

Second time you used the word wrecker. Confusing real life and LFS?

That's the difference you see, in real life coming back onto the race track in front of fast moving heavy objects is extremely dangerous, which I'm sure he was all too aware of as he slide backwards/sideways into on coming traffic.

Use something like PowerISO (there are loads) and open the ISO, like you normally would. You should have an option to burn the files to CD/DVD or even make a boot disk.

I haven't got PowerISO installed so I can't check for you.

When you make a boot disk you have to make it a boot disk. Just burning the files to DVD like normal doesn't work.

Most of the ISO's have a make boot disk option.

Have you ever seen a BTCC race cause it really doesn't sound like you have.

And of course it wasn't an intentional pit manoeuvre, Collard tried to defend his mistake from the previous turn and Nash tried to take advantage, neither driver wanting to give.

Like I said I've seen much worse with nothing done, that's what makes this penalty such a joke.

EDIT: They are always doing things that they should not be allowed to get away with. Plato on the first laps of the first race at Snetterton for example. Most BTCC drivers race hard but those 2 seems to step over the line the most.

It's touring cars, I've seen much worse many, many, many, many times and no punishment given at all.

..maybe you can only get away with it if your name is Plato or Neal.

If anyone starts with the, "OMG this is it", over excitedness I'm going to find you and punch you.

I can't get to them either btw, could be anything.

When they asked you if you have destroyed your wheel you cross your fingers, pucker up your bum hole and say...

....yes.

but obviously you don't destroy your wheel.

Only Blackwood and Fern Bay have rally cross tracks. Fern Bay has two, a really short one and a longer one.

LFS is not an off-road game so you will be disappointed if you buy it for that.
