Thanks Vain!

Wow, this has become an advertising thread for the spanish LFS-community.

I feel suddenly encouraged to upload some hotlaps ...
Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough that this will make a change.
Darn.

And again, I see mainly spanish hotlaps on AS North with BF1. Maybe they have a race with that combo too.


EDIT: Well, I guess with time this will all mix up again a bit. When other Leagues start to set up their grids by using uploaded hotlaps. But anyway, a really nice effect.

Nice work Tukko, that might explain it. If I understand it correctly on that website, they really have a FOX race on FE Gold tommorow.

Hello Community,

I just stumbled upon a confusing thing. I wanted to check the S2 Hotlaps in LFSW for the track Fern Bay Gold and car FOX. What I found was very astonishing: 6 pages, nearly 150 Hotlaps and nearly ALL of them from spanish drivers!


LOL. Is this just a bug illepall or is the spanish community really that active .

Vain, I agree.

But I like to add one point.

I bought LFS to have thrilling online races with the best simulated physics I can get, and not to get damaged in a realistic way. If I crash in LFS, I'll crash. My car will be broken somehow and I will not be able to drive the way I drove before the crash. Who cares, what the car looks like?


In my opinion, LFS is not a crash simulator.

Chris, I completely agree with you.

Absolutely the same for me. And often enough it happens, that we are just talking to each other about our daily business without racing online. A team is more than just a couple of guys racing together.

Sorry for the misspelling in the thread title. Of course, it's German Gamers Club, not German Games Club.

The German Gamers Club (GGC) is a clan-like organisation where people, interested in online gaming, can find a home. It has a very good infrastructure (servers, homepage, forum, ...) and is meant to be a place where people can relax after a hard days work, playing some online games together. The membership in the GGC is free.

Until now, there's only one LFS-Team in the GGC, Hell on Tyres, which is pretty well known in the OWRL (Open Wheel Racing League). We would like to see more teams in the GGC.

So if you are searching for a team, or planning to create one, or if you have a team but no (private) servers, homepage or forum, maybe you want to join in.

Although the majority of members in the GGC is german, this is not a crucial prerequisite. It's just easier to communicate in the TeamSpeak then, because not all members are able to speak english (fluently).

For more information, take a look at our forum.

Greets,

After two days of hard work, our brand new team skin is finished (each member will get a slightly modified skin with a number, name and stuff like that).



Can't wait to drive that damn car

Ok, I will be more careful next time ...

Anyway. You might take a look at our homepage, where I put two good sets, that you might give a try. They should be quite easy to drive, even with auto-gears off.

See you on track ...

Sorry, but maybe I didn't make myself clear enough.

I never wanted to insult you, so sorry for that. I respect, that you don't have that much experience. From that point of view, your time might be ok. But well, you posted your stats and I just commented them, since you smiley () indicated that you were thinking that it is a really good time.

Now, that I now that you are using auto-gears, that might explain your time a little bit. And of course, in a team you'll get lots of help from others, which will make you faster.

Anyway, I really never claimed to be very fast. I know pretty well that I'm only an average driver. And I have absolutely no problem with anyone who's driving slow or has little experience as long as he (or she) is able to drive clean and fair. We have really some pretty slow drivers in our team (including me) and we help each other to get faster. That's what a team should be all about, so I really think you're right, searching for a team.

Still, there's no need to flame me or the german community alltogether, so I agree with thisnameistaken.

I wish you good luck, slow-magic.

You might need a better set for FOX@KY3 ...

With this number of laps, your pb is pretty bad.

Yes. (In a Hawking-like voice. He would really take a long time for this simple answer, I guess. Partly because of his poor physiological skills and partly he might think about the whole physics of LFS for a while. :tilt

I'm wondering, how many physicists are playing LFS, since there have already Albert Einstein and Heisenberg been mentioned in this thread ...

Just one remark about this nose bug: In the world of LFS there are certain laws of physics, which aren't the same as in the real world.

So, until LFS-physics get closer to real-life physics (which will happen very soon hopefully), I don't see any problem in using the nose-bug, which is part of the LFS-physics.

Since everyone knows it, everyone can use it. Even if it isn't realistic.

What counts for me is, that all racers are driving under the same conditions, so that only driving skills and setup-skills are making the difference.

Not using the nose bug at the moment might be an ethically praiseworthy behaviour, but then you are making life unecessarily hard for you (in my opinion).

In the end, LFS is just a game and not the real life. You can only simulate real-life physics up to certain limits, e.g. you have no g-forces and there's also the tyres bug, which you cannot change with your set.

But anyway, the physics will be changed very soon and this discussion will come to an end by then. And I really was irritated too when I first saw these high noses

Keep racing.

Oh, I really don't know much about all this online gaming stuff. I didn't play CS or anything else like that, only LFS since a couple of months now.

But I'm allways happy to learn something new

Back to topic: Welcome to the community, BlackSheep SimRacing Team

Amazing.

But pings slightly below 200 are not so good in my opinion.
I guess, pings around 30 to 60 are acceptable. And I would say, that distance does indeed have an effect. It simply takes a while for signals to travel ...

But if it works, that's all right.

Welcome!

What are the pings of european servers from Peru?
Maybe not that good ....

So I fear we will never meet on a server ...

We welcome our new driver

For a full list of our team members, see here.

I also didn't play LFS before S2 alpha, so here are my numbers:

35319 km
14787 l

=> 2.39 km/l or 41.9 l/100km

Mainly FOX-driving. Nearly no FO8.

Hi there,

there's a strange thing going on in this replay. When the race leader starts his 5th lap, take a look at Alfred, and what happens to him in the last sector of the lap. It's really worth it!

I just wondered, if that's a new physics bug.

lol

these weird demo-racing/drifting-kids. illepall

Hi, just wanted to share this nice rendering of the RAC in our HoT-Teamskin.
It was rendered by my teammate denni7, I created the skin and the logo.

Nice. But I must honestly confess, that I don't like that skin too much.
(But I don't want to hurt your feelings . At least it's kind of simple, which I like.)

I would also like to see some other one's on real cars. Maybe some with nice color-gradients and without advertising.

I like it

I really would like to know, if there's someone out there who REALLY painted his RL-car in an LFS-Skin-Style!

I would say, some skins would really be worth it!
