I have a nvidia 8400, and i cant decide on any good settings.

I'm going for the most realistic-looking settings anyone has found. I've been playing with them for a while, and i just don't know what im doing

Im fine with FPS, i have full AF and AA on in lfs and still have around 60 fps which im used to.

ah, now that makes a bit more sense.

I still stand by what i said though. Actual race slicks would be nice on road cars and etc.

I think i know what you mean.

For example you want to be able to use R2's on a XRT for better traction if you were racing.

I mean I dont think they can pull the "show me a road car that uses that" card, because you honestly can put racing slicks onto a normal road car if you wanted to.

so im for this as well

Quote from Forbin :Drifting is something you do after a race is over and you're just cocking about waiting for the next one to start.

Develop your skills in racing and drifting will come naturally.

very true. I used to only use lfs for drifting, and my lines were pretty bad. After i got into a bit more racing, then went back to primarily drifting, i realized my lines improved greatly.

false. go to the drag strip and after the line go from 5th to 1st and release the clutch. then after you stop try starting the engine

hm i figured i should post my arrangements since ive tried fine tuning mine for a while

red buttons on the wheel used for sideview

right paddle handbrake, left paddle nothign unless using sequential. when in sequential i dont have a handbrake.

top black button on shifter pit speed limiter

left and right i forgot but nothing important

down black button is traction control

on the D-pad. up left and right arent used for anything

down on D-pad is used for resetting car

left red button is to look behind
2nd red button(from the left on all of these) is horn
3rd red button is flash
last red button is ignition.


this is the best method for me since i switch between rally, road car racing, and drift alot. i almost never race cars requiring sequential gears. sorry for long post but it was the easiest way to may it clear and readable.

WTF is going on? :bananadea

in forwarding your port what do i put as the start and ending port and also what do i put as the last number in the ip address.

my friend needs help with this and is forum-posting challenged, he only has s1 because all he uses lfs for is drifting. me and him are looking to make our own online drifting server to mess around on since there are virtually none in the s1 world.

hey gills thanks for all these awesome sounds. i think i have like 15 just for my XRT

anyway i just wanted to ask if you could take your existing k20 sound for the xrt, and possibly add a realistic turbo sound(as real as you can make it ofcourse )

Thanks!
