Quote from thisnameistaken :

I just feel like I lured myself into wasting years of my free time doing nothing valuable whatsoever. Call it "winding down" or "me time" or whatever you like, but you'll find you end up craving it, and at the same time doing nothing with it.

I suppose it kind of depends upon what motivates you to achieve the certain goals which you have. It's all fine having "me time" or whatever, but I believe you still have to do something personally productive with that time and something of which you can be proud (even if in hindsight!)

After years of the rave scene ('91-'96 for me) I had a proper hard time with myself outside of work, trying to decide what exactly I wanted to do with myself. Luckily this was before home computing became the force it is today .

I ended up going back to basics and started walking the hills again (my Dad took me out a fair bit as a bairn) slowly learning the ways and developing new skills, an apprenticeship that took years and in truth will never be complete. This in turn led to scrambling into rock climbing into Alpine mountaineering. Now I'm lucky to have a passion for this activity in all it's guises. But how much more different could it be from those mental strobe-lit years

Point is, there is no way any of this stuff could be described as 'creative' but it is what keeps me ticking over, and after 10yrs I still cry like a baby as the weather forecast inevitabley craps out for the weekend .

What lights yer fire Kev? Whats gonna get you out yer bed at 5am on winter mornings beacause you want to? Is there something that motivates you in this way? What is it that presses yer switches, do you know (that) yourself?

IMHO thats something everbody needs to find out :detective

The thing is, change. You just never know when..............

[quote=samarius;795612]Latest 5.02 drivers.....snip..... they also allow the game/sim you are using to adjust the wheel settings to suit the game/sim.

True, unfortunately LFS does not support this function yet

Quote from NitroNitrous :

Joining to a team is one of the ways for enjoying LFS online. The other way is playing with some friends. Otherwise, forget online, it sucks.

Are you serious? Surely this is a masterpiece of sarcasm that has sailed way over my head? Forget online without a team, it sucks? :slap:

Never heard such p!sh in my life.........Are you suggesting the AI are more fun to race, lol.

Some of us have a fine time racing with randoms from all over the globe. Some of those randoms become recognised names, and if yer good enough, invites to join teams will be forthcoming.

Whilst also meeting up with friends once a week or so for some fun down at the Skunkhut 2 server All clean drivers welcome!

Quote from zeugnimod :

I found it quite boring. Kovalainen brought the only excitement.

Funny, I thought it was the best race of the year so far

Apart from the fact that Halimtno scored points, bah

Monaco next, oh ya beauty

The bets are now open for answers, guid luck all

Ferrari ftw

Still waiting on the 3 final "guesses" to be revealed.......

Kimi ftw, sure, dunno about the rest yet. Better waiting for after Fridays practice.......

Can't do any worse than last time tho

It's such a shame, what should be one of the most amazing TV spectator sports has turned into a snore-fest.....

Whatever they end up doing with the cars will only matter if we start to get some decent coverage again.

I'm all for dropping to a 2L NA 2WD spec with todays technology and increase the stage lengths dramatically.

I have so much respect for the top level rally drivers and their crazy skillz - lol - the way they have been sold short is criminal. Some of the in-car footage is just mental

pmsl :hihi:

thanks for all the entertainment

I've used Pixmania as well and had no problems.

Tried dabs?

Ford Transit ftw

Optional sandbags for rear axles!

I can't believe the RAC is winning the poll !!!

It's a beautiful, if challenging, car. One of my absolute faves

Stoopid BF1 and LX6 are the beasts to drive fast and consistant imo (although I do love to try and drive the LX6)

Quote from marzman :

Cool. We walk on wooden shoes, live in mills and surprise our wifes with tulps over here. But in the evening we smoke pot with hookers. Always nice to see those cultural differences.

I know, thats why I visit my relatives in the Netherlands so often

Of course it's difficult to raise the finances for these trips, what with being such a tight-fisted, perma-drunk haggis chaser

Only ever done a dozen or so laps in the MRT at all..........

Still, count me in, would love to participate

Quote from Blas89 :

Damnnn i forgot to place my bets!! and my team was awful!, now i dont have money to change my drivers or anything!

You and I should form a joint team next year called "Is There a Race On This Weekend?"



Cuppla f*nnies

Quote from AW06 :

Following on from: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=41726

Ive decided to have the race on sunday the 4th of may, at 6.30pm Gmt, due to that being a good time for me and most (hopefuly) lfs players. Ive got a server sorted now, but thank you for the offers.

On a Sunday Bank holiday weekend?

Some would say "gerra life!", however I wish you good luck on getting a guid turn out

If it had been a normal weekend I would have signed up, bah

@ Chriskart

Excellent post mate, hope it continues to work out for you.

Seems like you have the talent, ambition and the support to push it hard.

Orra best

Quote from Mustafur :

Kubica, Webber and Trulli are the ones to me that have improved the most since the removal of TC, Fisi would be right up there too.

The People that i think have fallen back have been Coulthard and Massa.

And Piquet has been the biggest disapointment of the season by far.

I think Button has come on quite well with the TC removal, unlike David "Dodgem Car" Coulthard who has cost me many points in the F1 Manager game. Hamilton is also not the same driver he was last year.
Big to Fisi and his consistency in the FI, he's done brilliantly, but top marks to Kubica, he's been a revelation.

Car racers, hardest men in the world?

As someone quite famous once said, along mountaineers and matadors, then yes

I love my Mythos.

Comfy, practical and with a good balance of properties to allow both delicate smearing and severe edging.

Can be used for technically sick stuff in Font or all day battles in the Alps.

Quote from batteryy :

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Maybe in Xmas 2009? after the Arctic and Antarctic language support... just kidding offcourse ..

Don't be ridiculous.....I heard from some bloke in the pub that Urdu and the Click language of the San Bushmen are next for development

So Eskimos have 147 different words for "snow" (urban myth, I know :tilt. I wonder how many they have for "noob" lol

No offence Devs, luvin the Y18 patch

Quote from RocksGt :

Team name Drink Team
Subleague position 3 / 54

Your personal broker fee 10%

Nice league position

Helluva brokers fee

Cheers for the info!

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Anywhoo, i think the broker fees increase the more successful you are and i think how good your teams components are ?

I'm sitting squarely in mid-field and being charged 6% atm

Aye, I was kind of wondering if the leaders were up to 10% or higher? Not that I expect to get that high......I think I've peaked too early as usual

Any clues as to when the new patch will be out?

Test patches scare me, you wouln't believe the things I can break doing just the simplest changes :slap:

Could do with the more friendly FPS adjustment rapidly tho.....
