I'm not sure if this has been started before. I just wanted to say thanks to the dev's for all the hard work and dedication. Lfs for me has turned into a lifestyle, which im sure it has for others as well. Lfs has to be the leading sim by far, but without the hard work from the dev's lfs would be just another sim... Thanks guys and looking forward to the future.

just remember 1 thing..... your not racing anyone, your only racing the track, everyone else is just an obsticle

Look m8 NO ONE.... and i mean NO one puts there pants on in a special way, we ALL get nervous, we are all the same. What you are afraid of is the unknown, the only way to get used to the racing is race.. If you worry about the crashes or your afraid to crash someone out, your going to crash them out. All of your concentration will be applied to the fact that you dont want to crash. Relax, Chill out, and just race with only the thought of racing, youll do just fine i promise. If you want help with sets or just some encouragement then come search me (iceman31x) Good LUCK

ZWR FOR LIFE!!

Quote from Biohazard :

don´t do drugs.

lol that might help the situation

lol i have used nothing but rb4 and ive been in the top 50 list for about a month now RB4 FOR LIFE!!!

Oh almost forgot, now that patch X is comming out, the hp/ton should be equal. As of the W patch the hp still stands rb4=201... xrt=207(i think) fxo=209 you see the dissadvantage

There is plenty of disadvantages, first off of you look at hp p/ton the rb4 is 201 i believe and FXO is 209, in the real world, it doesnt matter if its AWD, FWD, or RWD. regardless its all about hp/weight. The saying that the car is harder to turn in or its loosing power in the drivetrain is underlying to the fact that TBO class was a bit unbalanced, if you are good at setting cars up then you know that rb4 is just as good and has just as many disadvantages as the next. Its all about hp/ton and setup.

Quote from Eagle05 :

thanks for the replys guys clears up alot of things, one thing though, VTiRoj, you said that 4wd is advantage and disad, i can see the advantage but what is the disadvantage?

thanks

lol dang.. fooled me

i could have swore that they just said... Its not possible to make it, then its not possible to make it look good... lol i think your pic shows what everyone in this thread knows looks killer m8

CONGRATS!!!!!! :drink: :balloons:

I think that the problem is not Hotlappers vs Online racers. The truth is you cant fix stupid. Some people just assume that because they are fast you can just move people or scream blue flag. As for me, i will never scream blueflag, nor will i worry about it, besides when im in that position i think im fast enough to get the pass made regardless, if the lapper holds me up alittle, then it just makes for good racing and gives second a chance to catch me . If im in the Blue flagged position then i get the hell out of the way ASAP! (provided it wont take leaders out) ... Its all about situational awareness, some people just dont know how to multitask, or cant. But either way if people are this worried about blue flags go buy a real car and race for real. Remember ANY joe shmoe can get a computer, $40, and get lfs. Not every joe shmoe can buy a real race car, nor have the slightest clue what to do when he gets it. Point being he wont last long
AS for the title, dont you think it takes repeated actions to get good? I think that it called practice :drink:

Quote from pasibrzuch :

I have kind of dilemma, as in title.
It was returning every time after same situation: racing in middle field, an ultra fast driver is screaming BLUE FLAG! BLUE FLAG! from kilometer, and when catching me in corner with greater speed: bang. Two cars spinning on the grass. Then, standard 'move you ass noob!' or 'learn to drive idiot!'. But hey, when it is not my fault (in chicanes it is hard to avoid speeding missile properly), I think that some very fast guys can not drive another raceway they've learned, or react like race driver should react in changing conditions.

I have an interesting story also
Some years ago I've installed Rally Trophy demo on friends PC, because it was brand new machine. He wasn't interested in motor-sports like me, but he started playing it too. First attempts to control the car failed due to different arcade behaviour in games, but after time we where able to complete rally stage alive. Some day he told me that he beated my pb, so I worked at home and beated his. He was really fast and I was ashamed by some of his new pb's and driving abilities.
Anyway, when we purchased full version of Rally Trophy I couldn't believe that he is not able to do any corner of new stage! He was trying with demo car, but even then he was crashing in every corner, while I used to this arcade driving model in demo times and drove not super fast, but always to finish without big crashes.

I believed that he learned the car behaviour in game, but in fact he only learned to press buttons in exact known moments, and on another stage he was like at first time we played demo.

After this happened I lost respect to group of uber fast drivers who cannot drive, in fact.
Do you know how it is in LFS world, how hotlappers practise, how many of them are talented racers really, and how many just exploits LFSs 'work_in_progres' physics and are driving mechanically?

LOL, gee this is a suprize Bawbag sucks anyway. LOL jk! good work m8

So how much Oval racing have you done m8? OK form of sport? lol why do people talk about things that have no clue about.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFXzDVzMPvQ these are 800hp 1000lbs on a 1/2 mile oval.. doesnt require talent??

Quote from ajp71 :

Oval racing in RL is an OK form of motorsport, it doesn't require the talent of proper racing but can be a fun and relatively cheap step up from banger racing. Oval racing in LFS, or any track that is flat all the way is a lot less interesting and requires very little skill and absolutely no talent.

The three big issues with oval racing in LFS are:

1) We don't have a track where one has to brake.

2) We don't have a high powered low downforce car.

3) Most importantly the public servers are shockingly badly managed with all kind of ridiculous rules, far too many bans and an overdose of LFS Lapper. Not to mention there are only a handful of people who actually have much experience with LFS on the oval servers.

LOL speak for yourself m8

Quote from shadow2kx :

Don't dream guys, you won't have it

OPEN WHEEL FOR LIFE!!

I wouldnt go as far as saying ignorant people, the truth is they just dont know any better. Its a shame tho because they will let those feelings about the sport ruin there chances of ever getting to try, its truly a shame. Its made me the driver i am today, love it and would change a thing, im sure enough of the oval haters have chased my bumper for enough races (come kick my oval butt) EXCEPT CRAZY HARRY!! i dont want trouble

Quote from Falcon140 :

I hate ignorant people who think they know what they're talking about. My dad raced dirt track for 30 years, my two brothers have been racing for 8, and I raced once or twice. Not a lot, but I am 14.

No way your crazy.. ill have my behind handed to me

Quote from Crazy Harry :

Come to the starters server (W17). I´ll kick your butt. In UF1. Reverse. Car AND track!

LOL w00t w00t (shakes fist) will get you on the track

Quote from Crazy Harry :

Ice you suck. Everyone can do that. Needs no skill and so on...

@KeiichiRX7: Don´t step into the old ihateovalandyoulikeitsoyoumustbestupid-trap =)

Look guys who here has oval experiance? Nobody? Call it what you will thats the joy of opinion, But before you say anything, watch this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=hFXzDVzMPvQ <----thats my sport "COME JOIN" ill be waiting

Man its so nice to see that people can make a judgement about his typing or his "grammar" before they answer his question, i read it loud and clear, just think of it as a puzzle lol jk!.

Barret i agree, STCC server has the best program EVER... (thanks again becky) I would assume you werent asking for the code, just how to do it, or where to start. Any help would be cool, Thanks guys

Quote from Becky Rose :

Erm, there is nothing wrong with racing oval. I dont, but I dont hold it against the people who do. Some of them happen to enjoy circuit racing too, infact, one or two hold STCC race licences and... actually, one or two aint bad.

Just because they like racing oval, produce 8oz of dribble every 30 seconds, wear thick rimmed glasses and shivver in fear at the sight of a skin head doesnt mean they aren't good track racers too.

LOL becky thats awesome, and to further support that, im a born dirt oval racer who has spent most of my time racing the Silver&Gold race server, im 30th in the top 50, either i play to much or just get lucky, but either way, theres hope for the oval drivers, just have to devote yourselfs

thanks m8 new i was missin somethin

Hey lfs crew, just need to know what i need to do with the pack of different views, downloaded from http://www.lfs-database.com. Its called Custom eternal Views, by Highsider9. Just curious to know how to use them after they are installed into the pic folder.

Thanks guys
