i wish one day the program really closes when i say 'exit' .. and doesnt show me useless lfs advertising cause i already bought the game and lov it.

or is there a button to turn off that sh.. ?

Options - Misc: Intro and exit screen

It's "show" by default, change it to "skip"

Quote from FEANOR :

Ever heard an F1 or a V8Supercar in pit lane. They sound like rubbish because they keep the throttle flat to the deck and to compinsate the engine management unit makes the egine miss so they splutter along pitlane and its no beacuse their at low rev either.

You can still use that kind of rev limiter even if you have electric throttle control. I'd even think using a limiter that cuts fuel and/or spark would be more accurate than throttle limiting. Anyways, my point was that the way the limiter is done in LFS, using a limiter wouldn't result in snap / crackle / pop in real life either.

Quote from Shotglass :

think of the possibilities ... virtual shovels salt and sand in the autocross editor to prepare a track for a race during winter

No need to carry salt or sand with you, just get proper tyres

Quote from al heeley :

In LFS you can hit 'L' in any gear, it limits your speed, not your revs. It's therefore technically not a rev limiter, but it works as well as it should do

Correct. When you have 'show pedals' on, you can see LFS automatically limits the throttle when close to the speed limit (and the limiter on of course).

In real life a limiter like that wont make the car sound any different than when you're just cruising, using little throttle. I don't know if a throttle limiter is realistic or not - I'd assume it needs a drive-by-wire system - SuperGT (former JGTC, the series the big GTRs are supposed to resemble) rules require a mechanical throttle linkage

I'd like a long, challenging track as well. With huge elevations, off camber corners etc.

(BTW, can we know, what car do you drive?)

You can see a partial rim in one of the pics! http://www.lfsforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=1204

Who are you?















:haha: Welcome back kev!

Quote from XCNuse :

plus.. how is it unreal? i've seen PLENTY of times where people stick cameras in their car, run the track, get the time they ran..

The cameras aren't unreal. Having ghost cars is. Having a camera in your car doesn't result in a seethrough car hovering over the track when you're driving.

Anyways, we already have analyzing tools that someone would have IRL = replays & raf telemetry output. I can understand adding something unrealistic when a realistic mean of achieving something just isn't possible. If there'd be no telemetry, no replays... then I guess a ghost car could be in order. If it'd be like that then the whole LFS community could be completely different

Huru...whats with the avatar man ?

That's me! Weird lighting though

EDIT: avatar has changed, above isn't valid anymore

IMO all the driving online should be done by humans. If you're in a team and your teammate doesn't show up, that's his fault (don't race with him the next time etc)

Toilet breaks.. hmm. Take your PC closer to the toilet before endurance races so you can pee during a pitstop (a short run), or get one of these:

Quote from Bob Smith :

I've never understood the term "gripping" anyway. There is racing, where you try to win by being as quick as possible, and drifting, where you try to win by 'driving with style' (for want of a better description). It's not like it's two seperate forms of motor-racing, they're different forms of motorsport.

Maybe drifters don't like to call "gripping" as racing, since it would mean their "thing" isn't as much racing as gripping is

FXO Rallycross version (FXX)
Lacks a rollcage etc..

Try extracting the abc.abc file from the alpha .zip to your ..\data\abc folder and overwrite the existing one?

The original LFSW logo with layers, added Kid's revamped LFS logo aswell..

You might be on to something here. It seems that the engine internals would be very light (something I'd understand with the racecars), and that definitely would cause some tricky handling like the driving wheels locking up when lifting off. And add to that the (oh so often used) fact that we can't feel what the car is doing.

I'm not sure if I'm 100% satisfied, but.. it's my first real skin.

That's very nice!

I have to say, I think it isn't smart to call people ****s even if they were wrecking in some other race. No way you're getting a better response from them that way.

And what would stop the wreckers not to register again when their first username would be banned on most of the servers? Good idea but needs something more

Quote from jscorrea :

Is possible to clear the "window" of the helmets?

I don't think so, and besides if it would be possible it would look a bit silly since there's nothing behind the visor

Quote from Phill :

Uhmm.. well yes i agree on most points! But remember people paid for this, they feel they can do whatever they want... This'll result in reallife lawsuits..

By accepting the license agreement they have also accepted the fact that bad behaviour on servers might result in account being removed. Already said in this thread. "I didn't read the agreement" isn't an excuse

They show the load on the tyres inner, middle and outer parts. When you're driving down a straight with a reasonable set (negative camber) you can see that the inside carries the most load, and when in corner the middle and outer part get some load too because of body roll and the negative camber. Having all 3 bars at the same height during cornering means that the tyre is facing the road directly = best grip.

The original wasn't very high resolution and didn't have AA, so the quality is a bit bad

Quote from nosliw :

my FXO station wagon :monkey:

Nice and funny idea, although a somewhat unnatural shape of the roof and the fact that it's still a 2 door make the car look a bit off

Just click either one of those buttons, NL or FR, the video should start loading on the next page (is loading here at the moment)
