Quote from mobiholik :

I dont understund ... how come nobody drive on CTRA race 2 server ? all racers are on CTRA 1 ? why ?

To be fair, it's where I spend at least half my LFS time and have had some crackin' races. But yes it can be quiet at times. I find if I join when it's empty it does not take long to become populated

The other half of my time is spent on SS1 or 2. Not far to the next licence

Quote from Karbine :

The FXO already handles horribly.

In the wrong hands, yes it does

What we need is some more new cars, not tweaked versions of current models.

I'm not a fan of driving restricted cars when I can race the full powered versions elsewhere (and have done, for a fair bit). This means I don't visit the UF-BR server and pretty much avoided the GTR2 class run previously. Stroll on platinum for some GTR1 action

The exception may be the FJR once I get that next licence, as I've never driven the FO8 at all .

Race 2 is my favourite ATM.

Still, hope it makes a success of itself!

Hello, and soon to be welcomed

Guid to see a fellow countryman joining the ranks.

Could well be the best £24 you ever spent

I'm not sure if it's the same in S1, but with S2 as soon as a new patch is released the next time you try to join a multiplayer game it will ask if you want to DL the new patch and install.

There are no specific time frames for releases. The pretty major patch Y came out just before Xmas, so I wouldn't expect anything too soon!

Nice introduction dude

Welcome to LFS, hope to see you on track sometime!

Quote from Dru :

how many were in the race?

if it's less than 4 - you don't get creditted with the win but you still get the points for finishing

HTH

Dru.

Does this apply to the "other" stats as well then?

eg/ yellow flags and non-finishes still counted in races <4 players?

Aye, we got this thing going http://www.7stanes.gov.uk/ in Scotland where there is everyhting from kids runs to double black diamond stuff
All handily located not more than 2 hrs from my house.

Then theres the Fort William DH course (insane: 2.6km long, 525m descent :nod along with the huge XC trails located beneath it in the forest.

I do a bit of that when the weather stops me going rock climbing

Quote from LFSlide :

Why thank you kind Sir.

You are too kind, really. I just don't deserve such praise.

However, just in case you were being sarcastic,

Quote from Rtsbasic :

Last book: Red Dwarf - Backwards (Rob Grant)

Hahahahahahaha - brilliant stuff. I've read all the RD books years ago. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but they are better then the TV series (which I own on DVD )

Come to think of it the last 4 books I've read have all been (auto) biographies. Unusual for me!

If it's sciency things you like, I can recommend "In search of the Big Bang" by John Gribbin. In fact most books by him are superb examples of taking obscure or difficult topics and making them readable and interesting to the average punter (eg. ME!)

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Ducks are cuter and tastier than cows. Pigs > everything except collies and spaniels, and of course the holy grail of dog breeding: The collie/spaniel cross. A breed potentially so bonkers no-one has dared attempt it yet.

Impossible, it has been proved ducks have no personality and don't like being whistled at, unlike cows.

The bacony bits of pigs are nice, however the animal as a whole is uncalled for. I give you their ability to eat and digest anything as a primary example. They do however, have charachter as a redeeming feature (no, not trying to quote Pulp Fiction )

Dogs and domesticated animals in general require a new thread. However I will agree they are acceptable under certain controlled environments....

:spam4::spam4::spam4:

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

i mean, surely we should be discussing the science of cows next or something?

I dunno about science, but they are the coolest animals in the world, with ducks a close second

And thats a fact

Quote from lerts :

i know this guy always with an umbrella, haha when its raining i even trust my luck to go without an unbrella

Is the chap with the umbrella called Nicholas Crane?

Quote from beefyman666 :

Halfway through Clarkson's Don't Stop Me Now. Gotta love how he describes stuff.

My girlfriend got me that for Xmas but not got around to starting it yet.

ATM I am reading an autobiography of one of Scotlands most famous mountaineers.
The Evidence of Things Not Seen - WH Murray.

Fantastic accounts of the golden era of development in Scottish winter climbing plus early explorations of the Himalayan peaks. He has a wonderful turn of phrase and a most philisophical outlook on many matters.

Time, practice and patience my friend. Tis the only way .

Some say start on the easier RW cars to learn their wiles then move up the grades as your ability and confidence grow.

I went for the "500 laps on BL1 with FZR" as my intro to LFS, once you can control that beast and put in consistant times the other cars become pussy cats when you go to try them

Quote from ajp71 :

Not really I know learnt the way round in a couple of weeks and I'd of said it's actually a very easy track to drive with relatively little knowledge of it, much easier than say the IoM, mastering the 'ring is another story

Totally agree. I had the thing drilled on GT4 (sub 7min on the licence test).
To me it's a thing of glory, but it aint gonna happen in reality

The sounds of silence are deafening! Is it going to be left to us slowcoaches to reprezent ( ) or are our A-Team gonna get involved?

Hello.........

Very generous of you kind Sir

Dude, knowing what I know now about the game and the community, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend LFS 2 Alpha to anyone.
The money is not an issue considering the longevity, complexity and bl**dy great fun it entails

But beware, it may suck you in on the peripherals side........

Quote from BenjiMC :

Heres a set you should at least get into the 40's with

Is that a "Y" friendly set, Sir?

I have decided to bin all my "X" sets and start from scratch, so it would be good to know. Ta

Quote from The Very End :

:doh:
Please, at least try to keep it to 10-15 min?

Gets my vote, about right for sprint races where a pit stop puts you out the mix.

Cos I've been away for Xmas I'm just doing the D/L now.

It's gonna be the best present yet

Quote from SamH :

Smee

Oops, sorry! I saw Beckys name appear amongst the restart blurb on screen

Cheers Sam, belatedly

Very sharp

Thanks Becky!
