Quote from F1 mainiac :

I wonder. Why am I 14th not 16th ?

You can't be 16th as R.Suur didn't pitch, furthermore not 15th due to duel race positions - you puzzle it out, am to tired to think

Please come and join the Gentleman Drivers CLub at www.slowdrivers.net. You WILL BE treated with respect and assisted with your racing (if need be). Currently we are practising on AS Club with the FZ2 (FZ5 with 24% restriction).

PM me for more info or ask here or on the GDC forum.

BTW, also feel free to drop in on the server and drive with us - no need to register if you just want to try.

What you need to do is grow some balls!

So true... seeing that Horus removed Seth's testicles...

Quote from S.E.T.H :

like i said, all of them ignored your post and they are still talking like ''how can it give you advantage, i dont get it '' and bla bla lol.

none of them really tells me why should it not be removed in HOTLAP & ONLINE mode and should be available in somewhere like TEST-SETUP ENVIRONMENT like they say its not a view but just a helper to build sets?

because i am sure most of those fake hotlaps are made with force mode on. i am sorry you guys

Why don't you put your head back up where it belong?

You must be the most stubborn dumbass that ever visited these forums.

Admins: PLEASE close this thread

Quote from Sobis :

What's ad hominen?

an expression SETH uses when he has nothing to say or lost an argument

Seth the Egyptian God is also known as the god of chaos. According to popular Egyptian mythology it would certainly seem that he created plenty of mayhem and chaos.

In the late period, Seth is depicted as an ass or with the head of an ass.

The two ancient Egyptian gods became embroiled in a battle resulting in injuries to both parties. Horus lost his left eye, however he managed to cut way Seth's testicles. The loss of his testicles is considered to be part of the reason why Seth is so often associated with infertility.

Drive 100 000 km's and then tell me that Force Mode make you faster.

You have driven 1000 km, it is to be expected that about every lap you drive, you will do better.. During the learning curve, improvement is rapid, let us say logarithmic, as you get experienced, your improvement hits the curve's plato.

NOW when you hit this plato, get onto force mode and show me another rapid improvement.

Your current 0.2 - 0.3s improvement count for NOTHING at your current level of experience!

Put me on a new combo and every little thing I change (FOV, setup, FFB etc) help me to improve. The one thing that never helped me was force mode. I loose perspective of the car's extremities, the gray arrow that suddenly pops up right in front of me when I brake is seriously distracting and limiting my FOV. With force mode you will hit the car in front of you or the wall next to you (oval example) while you think you still have clear space in front of or beside you.

I used force mode once, and that was to UNDERSTAND and get a feeling for the RAC's front tyres on AS Club reverse (an engineer may use this as an aid to explain to a driver in real world why his car is doing what it is doing), I also watched countless replays, drove numerous laps in various modes. Standard cockpit view gives me the feeling of real racing, not this nauseous feeling of seeing a road under my feet.

Force mode is a nice theoretical modelling aid, but as a driving aid - NO WAY!!!

I have seen you argue with some of the top drivers in LFS, I have driven on the same tracks with them - you are telling them that they are liars, using unfair aids to gain advantage over other drivers. I have only seen pure unadulterated driving skills from them that stood me in awe... on Sunday I have seen Redline Stuart drove FE Gold with 40kg ballast in the UFR against some very fast drivers with no ballast, making his set the slowest in the field. Guess what, he won!

Fast is fast and bullshit walks.

Get some experience and then argue your idiocy again.

SETH

not worth the words to argue with you, you wanted reaction, you got reaction, now go back to Tetris.

Quote from vourliotis :

OMG! Thats why i am loosing the wrs!
That Joe use it, i am sure.
I am going to beat him right now in every combo.
Brb in minutes. I am going to get few wrs now.
Thanks!!1!!!!11111!!

ROTFLMAO

Go go beat him now that you know his dirty little secret for all the WR's

Quote from S.E.T.H :

first of all, i am not even as old in this game, but i'd really like to play race games, i played all the race games you can imagine (almost) ive been playing lfs for a month or two, and i really liked it until i SAW that bullshit force mode. i have never witnessed such weird thing in my life.

1) At least have the decency to buy a license before ripping a 'game' you are clueless about.

2) This is a simulation of real world and as such if gives you the ability to learn from the forces on the car to improve your racing

3) Do a decent (I mean a top 10) hotlap in LFSW before you say a nother word - for that matter, do a hotlap and prove your dribble. BTW, you may use 'F' mode if you so wish (I don't and don't need to and I know there is no advantage in it)

4) Pity you are clueless about the drivers, who replied on this thread, that you are ripping off with your nonsense - like Becky etc etc.

pffft... missed it, thought first one would've been Tuesday... time zone confusion. Hopefully can on Wednesday (South Africa Wednesday )

What is a duel race?

Quote from F1 mainiac :

Let me guess... You don't want me in the Kyoto 400 . -.-

Well, there's a few names I could mention, but you're not one of them

really sad to see people bickering/fighting/wrecking over a 25 euro voucher - no wonder people murder each other over $1000 in real life.

Thanks Sobis, and Kid, didn't have your names, hmmm... both of you had quite a job tonight ;-)

Cornys, Speedy, good admin from both of you. Both of you should be proud about how you ran the event.

Gage Reisinger, thank you mate, you deserved to finish and sorry I couldn't do anything to get you to the finish, I will easily swop my finish with your DNF :-( Please do the Kyoto 400...

try to install gamebooster and run lfs.exe from there, it may be a software conflict, Gamebooster will close unneccessary programs and services. - will re-open them after you close lfs..

Please go to Options in LFS

Go to Controls, select Shifter under Gear Shift mode

Select Shifter under buttons

Gears must be assigned to buttons as follows

Reverse 14
First 8
Second 9
Third 10
Fourth 11
Fifth 12
Sixth 13
Seventh none

Buttons are arranged as follows on shifter

8 10 12
9 11 13 14

Your buttons and gears are just associated wrongly, nothing wrong with shifter.

Example:

To assign First - click on button assignment next to first, on shifter push left completely and up, you will see button 8 is now associated with first gear...

good luck, I had similar trouble...

Structured racing systems in LFS...

1) cargames.nl - good, casual, continuous racing with some of the usual frustrations. Lots of variety, good admins. Track variety may be better - mostly due to the voting system whereby the same tracks got picked over and over again. Love the GTR racing when available, hate it when other drivers 'look down' on you when you drive GTR...

2) Fox Junkies - fox event every Friday evening with year long score keeping.

3) OLFSL league - 7 months with 12 combo's, lots of racers - 45 to 95 per event. Absolutely structured.

4) Gentleman Driver's Club - do you have what it take?? Respect, driving skills, willingness to practise?

5) Oval Junkies - commitment to millisecond driving line accuracy and timing...

Unfortunately all these servers got rules, they are structured... and young, fast, inexperienced drivers... DO NOT LIKE IT!

The LFS-racing pool is just diluted by other activities on the internet.

Please don't give me the old LFS-is-stagnating stance - if S3 ever come out it will keep the interest for a week or so. Modern society want ever changing activities.

I am currently closing down my 17-year old scuba diving business - it just changed during the past seven years, people got lazy, people want what someone needing to work for a living cannot deliver...

Close down all the inactive, rarely frequented servers, just delete them from the master server, if mistakes happens, it can be corrected, I suspect 90% of the owners simply won't care...

I am just a 45 year old guy that really enjoy racing and socialising with other drivers... and if I don't like what's going on, I do hotlaps.

Whatever.

License ID: 00018
Team*: South City Cab Company
Desired Number**: 45

Quote from justasimfan :

Were before saying anything, to clear things straight up -I love LFS.But at the same time since 2005 were s2 was released there was basically nothing of large scale been released.

Well... if you upgrade to S1 and S2 you will find heaps of new tracks and cars. And the best is, this update is within your own control! So, your point is?

I think Cornys just said that as you have done the laps recently, he had either not yet checked your laps, or overlooked it, but he will double-check everyone's laps later to make sure he doesn't miss one... he hasto check laps manually, so cannot check continuously whether someone maybe did some laps...

my skin for approval...

Official Note: This skin has been approved.
