I'm not sure what to think of this issue tbh. Perhaps the Dutch proverb "Dragging old cows out of a ditch" applies here

Quote from Shotglass :

by the nature of it with countersteering you have a much higher chance of getting into a tankslapper than with steering straight and applying throttle

also thats why you have to practice for these sort of situations or in other words
empty car park + snow + car = fun

I agree. Alas, I don't have a car and the snow is gone.

My driving instructor never taught me how to do an emergency stop. It's pretty basic knowledge. Apply the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels, so it stops as quickly as possible. Cadence braking is an old technique, recommended by my dad. Cadence braking also implies releasing the brake pedal for short periods of time, and those periods of time increase your braking distance.

Quote from TiJay :

The people I've talked to (on internet forums) who took the course there prefer throttle application instead of countersteering in an FWD, saying countersteering with throttle may cause pendulums and without any throttle is highly likely to pendulum and kill you.

I agree with those people.

Quote from Shotglass :

applying throttle in an fwd while countersteering is a pretty good way to get out of the oversteer quickly as the fwd is able to pull itself out of a slide

That's true, but it can lead to pendulums if not done well. Ofcourse I master this in LFS perfectly, but on the road it might be somewhat more difficult.

Can't say I do, why?

"At nine-tenths the Yeti is as frisky as Seabiscuit and just as rewarding. But the really good news is that when you poke this snow monster with the sharp stick of helmsmanship it comes back smiling. Mid-bend I lifted off, felt the tail go light, simply caught it with a dab of oppo and I was away.The Skoda Yeti S 1.2 TSI is a bitch. And I spanked it."

Countersteering in an FWD car itself isn't a bad thing to do, but he also applied the throttle :|

I agree with the cadence braking though. I just can't convince my dad that it won't help him stop any quicker. When cadence breaking, one also releases the brake pedal for short moments.

Quote from RasmusL :

Short answer: no. You will NEVER learn to drive a car on public roads using LFS. Not with G27 either. Just no.

I disagree. LFS and my G25 taught me how to drive a car. On my first driving lesson, I got in the car and drove away. Before that I had never driven a real car before.

OP: LFS and a proper wheel can teach you how to drive a car. It won't teach you how to drive it in traffic though.

Same here, but meh

Still not? It should be done early 2009!

LFS becomes more and more downright rediculous

Quality takes time. Lots and lots of time.

A little too much for me tbh, but I'll be back from rFactor Historic GT when the new patch it out. I'll keep myself entertained!

Actually, it isn't. Even a t-rex piloting an F15 can't help this thread.

Quote from Article @ Slashdot :

*Technically speaking, the mosquitoes will not be fried in the final product. In addition to potential danger to other occupants of this system's effective bubble, it is planned for deployment to very poor areas of the world where electricity will likely be at a premium. As a result, they are also experimenting with the minimum amount of energy a laser strike must possess to render the mosquito infertile, because that interrupts the cycle necessary for Malaria transmission between humans.

That's a shame! I want the most powerful version.

Ohhh I'd kill for another one
