Quote from tristancliffe :

This is why I buy the cheapest hardest least grippy tyres possible for my MX-5, and it's not because I like to save the pennies. Less grip = more fun (Obviously for a track day or something I'd want more, but for roundabouts the less grip the better, and I can still keep up with most four wheeled vehicles, especially ricemobiles which infuriates them when I wave at them in a big slide as I overtake them round the outside of said roundabout [late at night only on quiet roads though]).

I thought you hated sliding your car around Tristian?

Then what could it be?

RaceAbout GTR perhaps?

Any interest?

We only have two drivers so far :/

Hi everyone,

I've setup a BATracer game for all the dwellers of the LFS Forum here.
Game ID: 1012
Password: lfsforums

Hope this isn't spamming

From looking at the graphics, it look's like TM and A1GP put together car-wise, and you are quite right: They look d### impressive, and it's compatable on a huge range of computers!? Wowee. Can't wait to try it out

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Had a quick run with the one that's got lower suspension (wth is that other one?!) and did notice some understeer. It's caused by the tyre pressures, they're a little bit too high. Set them around the 180-195 range, and definitely not over 200.


I got a low 1:32 on the 3rd lap using your set with lower pressures and didn't feel the back was going to step out at any time. Practice makes better!

The one with the higher suspension was supposed to be a rallycross setup, I just forg0t to change teh tires to knobblys/hybrids, lol.

Anyhow I'll take your advice and see if I can get myself back into the low 34s to high 33s again, right now I'm running low 36s and mid 35s, slower than I used to be.

Maybe it's just me, or I'm in need of some money to get a wheel. Anyway, I keep on getting understeer (I am talking quite a bit) despite setting my brake set to 70% front bias and 512 nm - I'm not sure on how to counter this, but I'm too lazy to use the handbrake (No kidding! ), so any tips to get rid of the problem is welcome. If needed I'll attach an setup in case. Also, if I turn, at some point if I hold the brake for too long, I start to limp to a side even WITHOUT damage.

(please forgive my bad english - I'm only 12 !)

Here's one...
I'll give you a hint, it's somewhere in Europe and was originally supposed to be an oval around a lake...

Enna-Pergusa?

I'm just taking a guess, but I might be right...

Quote from STROBE :

So young, so unexpected, so awful. A loss of a truly talented man.

Man, why do bad things have to happen to good people!?!
I'd have to agree with what you just said..

That's odd. I now have the files but still cannot run MecaniK S2. I placed the program into my LFS folder but I can't get it to run.

Quote from ATHome :

By the way: Some of you might have the missing dll already in their windows\system32 folder, its just not registered...

To do so:

Start
Run

and then type in (or copy from my reply)

regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\MSSTDFMT.dll

It's not working for me and I don't have the file...could anyone point out where I could find the .dll....?

Quote from Scirocco :

Not exactly. Don't you think that your traction would be compromised whenever you went over other items such as sand and dirt?

I think he was assuming the surface being driven at hand was tarmac.

Quote from Shotglass :

fatal racing - it combined 2 of the most important assets a game could have ... stunts stile driving and splitscreen ... plus i got it for free bundled with my beloved voodoo graphics

Whiplash - First game with something more complex than jumps. Most stunts are based around it, but still fun none the less! I still play it even today. (Note to Shotglass: Fatal Racing is called "Whiplash" over here)

LFS - Gave me a reason to stop playing most of the PS2 games I own. :ices_rofl

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies - The first and only air combat game I've played. Dang fun trying to shoot down some enemy planes, but gets a wee bit boring after a while.

Age Of Empires - The very first of stratgy games I played. I don't play it anymore and I dunno if I even have it anymore.

Quote from tristancliffe :

But the really quick mousers probably hack LFS anyway somehow...

Dude! I worked hard to get 1:33 times at Blackwood and I still can't run that time consistantly.

Besides, LFS is hard to hack for the avarage person anyhow. illepall :hide: :ices_rofl

Anyone have pics of the (new) S2 track layouts? Or some pics of the tracks new to S2 other than the screenshots section (too much focus on the cars on the screenshots that is)? I can't seem to find anything but the S1 tracks. At that, could I have some pics of Fern Bay track?

I think these questions may have been answered, not too sure illepall

TIP 27: TRY OUT DIFFERENT BRAKE PRESSURES AND BRAKE BIAS

On most cars in Live For Speed, the default (even race_1) are often every easy to lock up if you aren't careful, and (usually) applies to all cars. Usually when you first start with a car the brakes' power should be lowered just enough to slow the car down to the right speed. Avoid setting the brake bias towards the front on FWDs and AWDs - you may end up spinning out. (and yes, I am Demo licensed). Once you have the brakes down and set, you can then get to other parts of your setup.

As your username would most likely suggest, be gentle on the throttle, especally on the Rwds, as they tend to oversteer (or so I think) easily.

I think it's also possible to use the Gimp right out of the box for DDS files.

Just google it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Hi all.

While you suggested Adobe Premiere, I am not sure if it's free. If not, where can I get a similar program. Same goes with Fraps. I have 1.9D but I'd like to record sound too.

IMO it has to because most are tired of other driving games.

Not talking about GPL or NR2003 or RFactor, but it's quite well known nowadays. A well known game usually attracts a lot of people.

BTW, I've played LFS since I was 10.
I'm 12 nowadays, and I can do 1:34s-1:36s? WTF?

Quote from GTR_Yuni :

too bad you can't pull that off at BL GP w/ XFG

I take that back.

LOL

NICE ONE, POINDEXTER!

too bad you can't pull that off at BL GP w/ XFG

stinks. had a ton of fun trying to get into the 1:33 range.

Hey tak, where the heak did you get the green Daytona Skin? I don't remember you posting the green one on RSC at all!

I say yes.

But to do it for ALL the cars would be boring. So why not do them for one car class and then all cars from that class are unlocked.
