an ambitious project you got there

It is indeed but I'm too obsessed at this point to give it up!

Just trying to keep the fun alive!

Thanks again everyone for checking this out. I should update about once a week or so. Lately I've been much more active than that

Hey guys,

I'm building a formula sim pod on the cheap while trying to maintain high build quality. I'll be documenting the entire process in a blog and taking suggestions from you guys!

Enjoy!

Has anyone tried it?

In the interest of keeping this alive, I've tried it! the server still has an error but i have some quick fingers and nabbed the layout before it kicked me. I got my time down to 18:80! see if you can beat it!

Note: i incurred penalties on my out-lap but my timed lap was clean
anyone else?

For me, this game is so much more than a videogame. I have an absolute passion for driving. I drive a car in Real life that is almost completely impractical in every way because it feels so great to drive.

I race a car IRL as often as possible and as often as funds allow it. My father owns the car and we maintain it together on our own from engine rebuilds to tire changes. While thats a blast, track fees alone for non competitive time trials at our local track can cost $200-300 per driver per day.

LFS for me is a way to re-create almost every aspect of the fun I have at track days with extremely cheap operation.

I am very grateful for the fun I get out of this non-subscription, community driven, cheap source of entertainment.

My favorite way to do this is either to spec in a server and watch the few fastest people or to actually save the MPR for analysis later. What you have to discern is in which moments are the quickest people exploiting special traits in their setup and which moments are the reliable line that is quick for anyone.

A race line spr database may be a great asset... You're giving me some good ideas as I'm forming my new team...

I'll work on this...
