Best thread I've seen on here in a long time

Thanks again Devs

The logitech momo has the 'baddest' pedals, hehe.

^^ Totally agree.

Bah, get rid of wings and T/C and F1 is fixed imo (said as a non-fan with few clues about the sport ) As for the jumping out of planes thing, I did it once... never again :vomit:

I drove it a bit in GPL, was never much good at it as I don't have a very good um... that thing that stops you forgetting stuff..... :dunce:

Certain bits were lots of fun, and like whatshisface says, maybe one day when and if LFS is open to modding it would be nice.

Much like Blackout, I like to keep some braking power in reserve. If I miss a marker, or something happens in front that I wasn't ready for, I can downshift fast, not blip the engine too much, and just ride the throttle a touch to keep it straight.

Also, if you're not going to be able to pull it up, you can steer it quite a bit by locking the rears a little with a downshift. I think it's something that probably comes naturally with a bit of time at the wheel, learning to chuck it around a bit.

Quote from Vain :

Exactly. No one dares to drive the GTRs on Aston Cadet because the grip is about unbearable

Yes, they do actually.



A few of us just did a 30 lap GTR fun-race there. With the right set up, it's pretty good fun - even in the XRR :cyclops:

wow, what a rollercoaster 3000 posts... well I guess you've said everything that you had to say then, huh?

personally, i'd prefer to go outdoors once in a while:P

Quote from AndroidXP :

Hehe, but the last driver had me cringing. STEP ON THE BRAKES YOU FOOL! arrrrghghasldkföjaldf

haha yeah! The driver of the yellowy car in the 2nd vid did damn well to avoid the other bloke tho

nice idea.

I also find that in organized leagues, there just isn't enough time to get mentally prepared and into race-mode when it comes to standing starts. That is, you pit out, you have the restart counter, and BANG! you're racing.

I'd like the option of having a short countdown similar to GTL etc. I think it would help focus a racer, prepare them for T1, their spot on the grid, and exactly what's/who's around him.

f**k if this didn't scare him away ...

(i'd agree, we were a much friendlier bunch when we were smaller The price of growth ...?)

Welcome Turbokid, S2 servers are where it's at

Quote from V3NOMOUS :

:S u join an aussie server all we want 2 do is Drift

A month too late, but what the hell... that's not at all accurate. To suggest that all Australians want to do is 'Drift' is just so far off the mark, and I'm sure that most of the 300 odd members of The Austral-Asian League would agree.

Nice team LOTF, raced a couple of you the other day - v.clean and fair :up:

T8 at Adelaide in GTRs! :up:

that's the message you get when you've been banned... so I'm told It's possible for a server admin to ban you without you even being there. Maybe accidental, maybe someone just didn't like your skin/car choice/lack of moustache in a Moustache-Wearers Only Server..

Racing in a actual replay (a close scratch-race, an historic LFS race, or a league race you couldn't make but have the replay to...) would be very cool, but noone wants to be a ghost car...

Perhaps, a simple-ish way: You've affected the race, and knocked a car off. At the end of the lap, the car reappears where it should rightly be in the replay

Could that work? Could a replay function like that?

(Either that, or just grab your AI, and stick some passengers in your car... or see if you can pass them all cleanly within a lap )

Quote from Funnybear :

Most series will have a button on the wheel to kick in the limiter. It's just makes so much sense and with all the new safety regs involving pit speed and the like they are pretty much de rigour. (That last bit was french by the way. It means part of the course, things that generally just are . . .stucff like that.)

Couldn't you have just said "par for the course" or whatever then, saved yourself typing? Woulda saved me typing too

Pretty hard to find a professional-style series nowadays that wouldn't have pitlane speed-limiters, I'd reckon. I think they work by retarding fuel or spark, or some necessary engine-related thingie

yeah, I've had this too.

I tried to change my fuel load while driving up pitlane, or maybe even while i was pitted... It wouldn't do anything 'til I set it above the ammount already on board. Not a biggie, just gotta remember to do it before you pit.

oh go on... this was all pretty light-hearted, no need to play the victim

a wave or a smile, never both.

You can all do whatever it is you do anyhow, just giving him a warning

press 'L' to toggle it on/off (better yet, map it to a wheel button )

It pays check out the stickies etc... some of the more frequent blokes around here can be pretty unpleasant

wow... what a shame.

Goodluck guys :up:

man, that gave me shivers... very clever, funny stuff :up:

Cockpit with FOV @ 95. It's all I've ever tried, it feels good... so i dunno, I'm pretty comfortable with it. Tho in any sim-type game, I find a chase cam impossible, it's just too detached.

Jtr99: very well said :up:

Westhill, either way. Fern bay Green REV is a lot of fun in most cars too.

Quote from Hankstar :

While we're starting Bahrain threads about there being too many Bahrain threads, how about a poll about whether there are too many polls?

Been there, done that
