Man, that is a pretty special looking line up. Would be great to see some of the old school blokes giving it some

The top current breed should be represented there, but depends on the timing, I understand

When and where John, I just might try and do it?

edit : heading up to Mull in 2.5 weeks for a wee autumn break, save me some sunshine!

Their is no way to settle this one, so drop it.

Or what? You'll do a massive edit on your old posts again

Anyway, back to Trukz........

Damn it's a long way to Malaga from Rivne I fancy I'll just about get there, recover and get one hot route in before it all changes again!

Shawn, how you manage to get that much in debt? Reset driver?? Thats as bad as shift-s

Quote from janipewter :

3) ABS - as above. This should be an option on some/all cars, if not on all servers then at least cruise servers? Also, I race with a gamepad and the brake button is not proportional - it's either on or off. I can either set the brake balance low so it doesn't lock, but then it takes forever to slow down. Or I can set it high and just lock up all four, and have no steering control. Cadence braking does not seem to work very well either.

If using buttons for controllers I believe there is a slider in the options called "button control rate" or something similar. Try adjusting this to give a better feel.
ie - less on/off and more progressive/gradual

Quote from BAMBO :

Rubish! I was the fastest there, not my fault you monkeys break to early .

Lol, no. You break other peoples cars instead of trying to brake

I know what I want as a tattoo, and I know where I want it.

The time just aint right yet, got a mission to accomplish first

Quote from BAMBO :

Do you mean my driving in LFS or Trukz?

Saturday afternoon (GMT), CTRA BnJ server. I think you were having a problem not using other cars as a means of slowing down into T1, repeatedly

Heaven help us if you try that in a 18 wheeler

Quote from anbiddulph :

i think the international is a good second truck, ts alot cheaper, and still does 63mph

I think your looking at the International 8200, I was talking about the 8100.

Not to worry

Quote from BAMBO :

Guys, I don't think you noticed but I made a better banner for the team. Please tell me if you like it. Here it is:

I like it better than your driving, and thats not saying a lot

Saw a handy thread on the Trukz forum recommending the International 8100 as your second truck purchase. I thought the Kenworth W900 1997 looked a bit better value for money, and judging by the number of people who own same, it seems the majority agree?

Any thoughts?

We need more team members so we can start contract runs, its a slow process otherwise Heeeeellllllloooooooooooo, is there anybody out there

Make that 39

Quote from anbiddulph :

as you can see, they last 3 months...

Ouch, £52k for 3 months, maybe not then

Terminal 2 here we come

Quote from robt :

new terminal would be best a bit further east i think. the best paid routes seem to alternate from east to west, so would be good to have a HQ near each.

Agreed Maybe Warsaw or Budapest?

I know we have enough money now, but is it worth waiting until we have some more in reserve? Also, can we sell the terminal at a later date (if need be) to finance our bids for contracts?

Or how about some new truck discount from the company, 5% even?

Still only 12 drivers, 9 of which are active. Come on troops!

edit : Sure the 2nd terminal is $7,500? I thought they got gradually more expensive?

As per my signature. Fair makes me 'think' sometimes.

It's nowt to do with God, the mountains are my religion

Is it just me that thinks the OP is cheeky as f*ck? I mean, just read the thread title

When someone is kind or generous enough to offer up such a prize then kudos to them.

Demo racers coming on the forums and asking for a free S2 competition just smacks of street begging :slap:

Copy of the Big Issue anyone?

Quote from mrodgers :

First listed supply and demand per city is static, it doesn't change.

Nice, hadn't noticed that yet.

Quote from mrodgers :

The second listed changes Monday and Thursday mornings at 1:00 AM US Central time (GMT -6)

Cheers

How do I find out when the routes change, and how their times relate to GMT?

I found this info. before but damned if I can find it again.......

thx

Quote from migf1 :

I seriously doubt that any average talented driver cannot reach the 103% of a wr in a given combo despite practicing tons of hours on that combo, as you say.

I dunno about that, may I refer you to FE4R in the LX6.

As it is one of the MHR and in one of the trickiest cars to drive fast, getting inside that benchmark is really difficult (for me anyway, and I'm as average as they come :tilt

Quote from JasonJ :

Exactly my point... Your mates wont want to play anymore. Then why wish it to be integral? Which I interpret as you wishing its forced completely and utterly. If I misinterpret what u mean by integral then I'm sorry.. ok ?

Moot point, but of the 6 regular racers in our squad, its a 50/50 split

Why don't they like it? The only reason they don't like it is because 'it is too hard'.

I find it harder too. Simple fact is, from an immersion and simulation point of view its worth the effort to learn. Historically I have always been a chase view driver.......until I bought LFS.

This all IMO of course, but this simulator deserves to be as realistic as possible.

Forced completely and utterly? Almost, but ultimately no. Cos at the end of the day its all about having fun

Quote from JasonJ :

Well, if you want to force a view on towards 50% of the population (as you put it), then wouldn't you expect someone say something in protest? If you don't want a discussion then don't make a comment.

Not so much a comment as a sarcasm laden whinge.

Quote from JasonJ :

If you want to force cockpit view to be more hardcore/real, sure thats fine, but if you want to force it on everyone everywhere to make it equal and as realistic as possible, then shouldn't all controller methods be the same? Maybe that should be forced as well, how about a server OPTION though, not forcing it to everyone and those that don't like it just to suit yourself. This was my point here. Forcing it to everyone when it CAN be a server option is kinda not nice to those that don't want it.

Controllers and FCV are two completely different issues. Please don't confuse them. FCV is already a server option as you already know.

Quote from JasonJ :

Ummm....? my sample of online servers FCV vc Non FCV excluded cruise servers. Btw if I decide to have a race, I drive in Chase view to. I just happen enjoy that view more. So your cheap shot at cruising is irrelevant.

Eh? I don't race in chase view. This is a simulator.

Quote from JasonJ :

So why even make the previous comment below if you already have a server that has assumably FCV enabled ?... .

I don't have a server with that enabled at all. DMR do tho, that was my point. I just happen to think theirs is one of the best servers in S2.

Quote from JasonJ :

No, I don't play on DMR servers, my location means I got bad lag to pretty much any server. If I join a race and go hard and try and stay in the pack, I'm pretty much guarenteed to send all drivers at T1 to the moon. So after you've finished judging me for using LFS in a way that I enjoy that doesn't cause mayhem to those that want a clean race, have a well earned cookie.

What does your location have to do with choice of view?

Quote from JasonJ :

Yeh I've gone off topic, but this person has a happy server with what he wants and he wants eveyone else to do the same thing. Sorry but diversity is human nature.

Lol, don't we all race on servers we enjoy? Do they all have the same preferences, no. Have fun 'diversifying' your real car to one with a seat on the roof or a stealth cloaking device

Chill dude, I ain't for forcing anything on anyone, theres only 3 people who can do that. Nobody can force you to stop driving LFS if FCV does become integral Which, btw, I don't think it will.

ps - our server does not have FCV on because some of my friends don't like it . Does that sound like someone trying to force their views/opinions onto others?

Thanks for accepting me into the fold of Live for Trukz!

Got some problems getting this browser based stuff to work on my works computer. Can't seem to choose any other commodity than general merchandise

So please excuse any tardyness during 8-5 GMT

As long as I set the trip up at home, I can still 'drive' from work. Guess that'll have to do.....

C'mon troops, we need to get the company up to 25 strong

Quote from JasonJ :

Oh,....... so having it as a server setting isn't enough? Well if you want to force EVERYONE to use the same view, then you should force everyone to use G25. I'm sure servers will be full no doubt.

There's 550~ odd servers open now (not private/not cruise). About 60 are populated and of those only about 4 have FCV enabled. So I guess forcing cockpit view everywhere will make things much busier.

Oh, sorry, was that me voicing an opinion again. I forgot that wasn't allowed on the internet

And what, pray, does FCV have to do with a G25?

Sounds like most (+50%) folks drive cockpit anyway

My mistake, I didn't take into account the difficulties this would produce whilst hammering it round the cruise servers

Ever tried a DMR server? Had any problems? Do they have a problem with quality of racers or numbers? Do you know what I'm talking about?

I tend to use the custom front wheel view only for hotlapping and then cockpit view for racing.

I figure I am generally a tiny bit faster in front wheel view, but then again some of my race times (with cockpit view) are better than my hotlaps!!

Cockpit view is so much more absorbing tho, and more challenging. Especially at SO tracks trying to miss the barriers by inches thru the tight sections

When all the interiors are complete I hope FCV becomes integral to the game

you mean my desk

since i made him communications manager he thinks he runs the plae XD (jk)

Lol

Never was much good at hierarchical structures myself

Live for Truckz - like the name

Quote from Bladerunner :

Come and join Live for Trukz..better to be with a bunch of guys you "know" than a bunch of complete strangers from across the pond! (AND we operate in Europe!
Give us time, and the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages...contract runs ALWAYS pay better than private runs, and the discounts mean that you will be able to get a good truck a LOT quicker...
We cant get any contracts YET because we need a minimum of 25 members before we can bid, but even when we do have them you are free to do your own thing anyway!

Sweet, you'll have an application on your desk this evening

Cheers Blade

I just signed up and made my first two trips Imagine having to deliver beer to Munich , like delivering sand to Saudi Arabia!

Not really got much of a clue whats going on at the moment, just gonna figure it out as I go along. City and commodity bonuses seem to be the way to earn cash?

Got about a dozen e-mails from companies wanting me to join up. Is it worth it, the discounts seem pretty hefty but I quite like the idea of going solo.

Maybe run 2 accounts?

Yes I could read this whole thread, and prolly will do, jus not now

Any pointers for a noob welcome, see yas on the E roads, fellow heavy haulers

bft-master : not the first time you have behaved like a total tw*t on the CTRA servers.

You deserve everything you get

If it was up to me, it would have been permanent.

Dru - yer too generous :rolleyes:
