For about one year now I have been saving a little here and there to participate for a full course school (1 week IIRC?) at my track, Road America.

From what I heard it is well worth it.

Some questions, not really for my diagnosis, but someone who may be of help:

-Did this happen when trying to get online to play, or offline?

-Did the error message in red say something to the effect of "JOOS ERROR"?

-Do you have any add on programs to enhance Live For Speed, like LFS LApper, Tweek, etc.

NOt to worry; someone will have an answer of some sort, but the more information that you are able to provide, the better the diagnosis. The Live For Speed Developers are I am sure quite happy to help, but give them time, and others time, to find the problem.

I know... But it's too late to change it on that video now

Still got me an A

An A? Really I would have given it a B-, to be honest.

Now I am NOT saying this because I am trying to be a e-jerk. It is a good effort. But the sound was too inconsistent, and, I am a fan of vignetting, but some parts were a little over the top.

Your voice. I do nor know what your age is, but on that clip it was rather thin. Alot of people, in order to not come across as belligerent or loud, do not use the full potential of their voice. When speaking for a presentation, be it in front of a group of people or a narrative, speak in a way that keeps a person interested. You did a fine job of metering and using "colour"(instead of being flat and monotone), but for your next presentation, try this: speak from your stomach, not your throat. See how forceful that is. By controlling your stomach muscles, you can regulate the forcefulness of your voice, and with practice, you can sound like a presenter. Listen to Terry Wogan, or for that matter, BBC Radio 2. The DJs are talking very loud, but obviously the equipment can regulate the sound. Also, if you are able to, or able to find an audio recording program, is to crank up the compression.

If I could, I would record a snippet of how I talk; people tell me constantly I sound like a radio DJ. All I do is speak like I mentioned above.

I once dropped a large rubber band at work, and the shape it formed on the ground was an intriguing design for a track. I took a picture of it with my phone, but sadly I erased it. The shape was similar to the "Super Speedway" in Gran Turismo.

My entry for skin contest, I'm not very good

Well, keep trying, buddy! I think it looks fine, but you and I BOTH know you can do better. Right? Right.

Quote from BoGGis :

Since the game has a lot of adjustment options on gears, suspencion and such, i think its about time it gets an electronic boost controller and electronic fuel controller. The devs could have balanced it so that no current setting would give a specific advantage. But, for instance in drifting,

...And that is where I stopped bothering to read.

There are no jumps. can someone show me a pic of where they are maybe?

When you are in shift U mode look for the button that says objects. Ramps are at the bottom.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

im sorry but is it important for u to see lower revs than 2000?

Yes, yes it is. And it should be for everyone who has invested in this game, hence the reason for this sub-forum. If Scawen is putting XX amount of time into this game so that when the game is finally released to his standards, which I think are quite high, one would assume that this issue would be of importance of him, no matter the insignificance of it.

Keep it. Try something new and different, if you get on a server with this option. You never know until you try....you may like it!

Quote from fragile_dog :

You have a forum section dedicated to modding kias? :S

You think that is daft, see this forum!

Guys, it's AN OPTION!!!

Quote from danowat :

Personally, I really can't see what all the fuss is about, just learn to race from a different view, or don't race on servers that have forced cockpit on them, it's that simple really.

Quote from garph :

I knew this stupid arguing/moaning would happen.

I know it says forced cockpit view but it's still optional. I can't see many or why servers would run it, even if they do it will only be to test it or until they realise that not as many people are joining.

Agreed X3. I think some here are blowing this way out of proportion.

After I got my G25 wheel I switched from the view of tires only to cockpit. Took me all of about a week to get used to it.

I did a search, and was unable to find what I see. The tachometer only shows from 2000 rpms up.

new car

yeah, yeah, yeah....we know, Chris. Rub it in, why dont ya! Awesome car.

Quote from djgizmo68 :

Oooh! Panasports for the win!

Bloody hell ,I cant keep up with these updates, Mr. Roberts!

Speaking of listening to what you like, I really enjoy the band Keane. Yes, I like Keane, and I am not ashamed of it. They are incredibly talented, make great music, and I am probably one the few straight men who like.

But I dont care!


@Bob Smith - after you mentioned Jazz, I had to listen to a few Mingus songs. BeBop Jazz is so cool, it's hot.

Ha ha...I remember when I was in my twenties and EVERYTHING was reeeeeal intense, MAAAAN. Once you get past the 3-0 mark you either learn to accept that the world isnt going to bend to what you like, and what you like alone, or you become a bitter, jaded a**hole.

Boris, I suspect your friends are going to be jaded and angry alot over trivial things throughout their lifes.

And really, if they were indeed your friends, they would accept that you like different genres of music than they do. It makes you better, well rounded person to explore all sorts of musical facets.

You know what? Find some more decent people to associate with. Life is too short for arrogant, pompous know-it-all twits.

Quote from MAGGOT :

There is no such thing as 'free' energy.

How about the sun? Wind? Thermal energy? All three are I would think classified as potential energy.

Or am I missing the point?

Quote from AK-Chester :

Bah, :lfs: just keeps getting better with each and every patch/update, and I for one couldn't care less if the next one is called "Y" or "X12345" or "S3" or whatever.

I wish I could see more people post words like this, instead of gripe, especially when it comes to graphics.

I think alot of people, and I get a little annoyed when I keep mentioning this, forget that one human with a life outside of LFS is has done all the graphics, and that Eric is not content to just design and leave alone.

The next time you tear around Aston Historic or Kyoto Long, think about all the little details Eric has kindly done for the benefit of you, the player. Especially the ones who feel that their S2 licence also gives them the right to, and let's be blunt, annoy the three people who have made this game what it is today.

ATL is real manufacturer, FYI. I know, because when I wander around the paddock at my favorite track, alot of people use them!

Just for the people who moved the interface to far to the right.
(Then the Interface button is gone)

So when you did something wrong with the X and Y coordinates of the interface then the only way to get the screen back to normal is changing the
SCREEN_CX 0.00
SCREEN_CY 0.00
by hand in the config

Maybe it is helpfull for some (because it took me awhile to find it )

Good to know! Thanks!

First reply! Woot.

EDIT: Poopie!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Spoken like a true American.

You are right! American politics are very much different than the rest of the worlds, so you must excuse me if it seems I am branding you as some sick freak. I myself am a Libertarian, a philosophy that many Americans believe in, but foolishly only elect either Democrat or Republican.

Quote from SamH :

This always makes me laugh, I have to say One of the core problems for the US is the lack of non-partisan journalism, and the net result of that is that is a maturing of stances into a situation where any reporting of events or situations, or any commentary at all on anything that is contrary to an individual's perspective is easily and simply dismissed as "damn liberal" or "damn neocon". At no time now, in the US, can anyone be stifled into paying attention with a simple and unbiased "fact". This is something that the rest of the western world enjoys without hindrance.

I will agree that there is non-partisan journalism here, that it is extremely biased towards liberal ideals and agendas, but with the guise of being objective. Haha, sure. But on the hand, our government has no control over it, which I think is wonderful, no matter how biased it is.

As it stands now, the media here have almost blinding, hate filled rage towards our current administration...like they did with Regan, and Ford, and Nixon...see the trend?

I believe that individuals, not big governments, have accomplished the most good in the world. The smaller the government, the less power they can wield over the people, as was originally intended by Americas founding fathers. In fact, read this, please:

Quote :

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

To me, that is probably the most radical, free thinking idea that mankind has seen...and it still is to this day. Please read it twice to let it really sink in.
