Quote from Marty502 :At Blackwood/GTi I cut my PB from a 1:35:3x to 1:34:3x... in one day.

It's always about bloody blackwood with you demo people, isn't it? :rolleyes:
Thanks to...

... the people who, when blue-flagged, make way as soon as is practical. I used to hit the smile macro, but I've gone off track too many times reaching for the keyboard. Sometimes, I'd thank them after the race, but you know what? It happens so frequently now that I can't remember names! Considerate racers, in LFS, exist they do! :yoda:

Just know that it is really appreciated - thanks!

And when any of you come up behind me, know that I'll do my best to get out of the way as soon as possible.

There's my yearly rant

Quote from zeugnimod :Did you send a replay/s to the wrecking barricade?

Exactly? This just seems to be a 'name-and-shame' thread. Save replays, don't post threads, imo.

There's always going to be this element; sucky but true. Like has been said repeatedly, send the replays to the devs - I'm sure they will at least issue a warning if the behaviour is as bad as you say.

Other than that, I'd suggest a less 'girly' screen-name. 'Becky Rose' with the numberplate 'Blonde', of course you're gonna attract oversexed 13-year olds.

I don't chop and change for each car; I find my left foot has enough dexterity and 'feel' to do all my braking.

Anyone with a 2-pedal setup, using just the one foot, I'd suggest you switch to a 2-foot/split axis setting, just for a week. Turn off blips and cuts, and learn to balance your car. I reckon you'll be a better driver for it.

Quote from 96 GTS :One question for Ayrton, why would you ever intentionally hit someone, in LFS or in real life. That's the second time you've said that when giving reasons for crashing

I was wondering that too Uh-hu

Unfortunately for me, I miss out on racing quite a few of you because of the difference in timezones. You can tell a hell of a lot more about someone from racing them then from what you can reading.

Ayrton, when you jam it up the inside of me in some silly spot, I'll happily yield Smile And I'll honk and wave when the next person you pull it on doesn't :wave2:

Quote from szyszek :I absolutely love the F08 after the patch. To me it's like a faster, better FOX. Shame no one drives it.

:iagree:

Car of the game after the patch, easily.

Let's have a dedicated and well-policed FO8-only server

FE Green in the FOX is a blast, I enjoy the whole track.

The XRR pretty much anywhere.

Least favourite are the longer SO tracks, walls suck :'(

For me favourite car/corner combo changes with time, setups, and with patches. But I would say that for now, I'm kinda hooked on the FO8 at Westhill. I love gassing it up out of the chicane after the second split, really turning it on the throttle LOL, the rest of the track I could take or leave

Assuming you have a wheel... are your pedals spiking? Make sure you're getting full throttle and no brake (there's an option somwhere so you have a visual representation of the axes) - this is a common problem with the logi-momo pedals.

Quote from Woz :The answer is simple...... hardcore/race mode

No mid race joins.
No jump to pits.
No car reset.
New retire from race button.
No race restart, only race end and only from people IN the race.
etc


I'd race there

hey, we got an f1 car now

FO8 is worth the price of admission alone tho, especially seeing as you've only to buy the s1-s2 upgrade. GTRs are a blast too

Quote from george_tsiros :Look... any timed activity can be a challenge when people start taking part... you can make a timed apple peeling contest and people will start developing techniques, do practice, etc... but it is still apple peeling. How gratifying can it be? Maybe for fun...

Avih - very clean, fast and fair.
Marlboro Man - always very quick, clean

Quote from Turbo Love :LOL, are you guys serious? Permssion to post that? Come on it's not that serious, no laws are being broken dsicussing this incident.

It's a simple matter of courtesy. I wouldn't have thought that needed spelling out, but there you go.

I'm sure you would have noticed this when you handed your moolah over to the developers:

Quote from www.liveforspeed.net in the license agreement :1.5Extreme disruptive or offensive behaviour by a user, towards the developers or members of the community, may result in temporary or permanent suspension of the user's Live for Speed license.

i.e. if you're being a jerkoff, we reserve the right to revoke your license. We all agreed to that when we signed up.

I've submitted one or two replays to Victor, showing what I consider to be blatant wrecking. I don't think it could be taken any other way. This guy still has his license. Ok, was he warned? What's the story?

Are we taken seriously when we submit a replay showing someone being a deliberate tool?

Quote from thisnameistaken :And the name "Fake Nick". Looks like he was hoping for some anonymity.

I raced him last night too, fakenick1988 is his real identity. I had no problems with him tho.

Quote from JohnPenn :BTW hope the guys involved in this were asked if its ok before posting replay?.

John

exactly :yikes: Did they know that a split second decision was going to be posted and scrutinized in the main LFS forum? I've cocked up in a league race before (hi Latch :wave2: ), but I'd have been mortified if it had been posted here tho. If so, fair enough. If not... maybe a series of anonymous diagrams to get feedback might have been better.

On topic, interesting prang. I'd say yep, Shaun was at fault most, but Olddog could have been more careful.

I think maybe if the idea could incorporate something other than the license tests, then it might be do-able. I dunno what tho.

As for learning tracks offline so as not to stuff up others racing, in the most respectful way, get the f*ck out If you are a conscientious racer, here's a few commonsense guidelines:

1/ Pit in at race start.
2/ When you do get out, watch your map, and give heaps of room to anyone coming up behind you.
3/ Never go into T1 alongside another car if you don't know the track, or if you haven't driven the setup. Nothing worse than getting to T1 to discover your car isn't as strong or as stable under brakes as expected... or the track goes the other way :doh:

Simple I reckon.

I quite like a please on the end of a setup request too :cyclops: but eh, I give them to anyone who asks, even if it is little more than a grunt with a question mark.

Maybe I'd feel different if I had made the setup

Quote from SamH :Did everyone just quit smoking or something?

Three weeks today! :woohoo: (why, have you got one?)

It doesn't bother me being asked, and I respond accurately... but I don't ask, would prefer to do a lap or two. But hey, this is why I reckon LFS should have a memory of fuel burn for a combination, or even better, one of these.
