I like how she's driving using the power of thought

Quote from SennaSS :

thats bec you had some brave sole get in this....so now they understand Lift and could then do the maths... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres ... 2,s:0&tx=70&ty=72

But there is no need for Scawen to drive a car and 'discover' tyre physics, because someone did that over a century ago.

FXR does 0-60 in under 3 seconds (faster than Nissan GTR). If you did that in real life you wouldn't know what hit you. You cannot compare the feeling of speed you get in real life with that you get on a computer screen. It's also much easier to push a car to the limit in LFS, because there's no sense of fear. I could pretty much guaranteed you weren't driving that GTR at the limit of grip.

Quote from SennaSS :

Yes your finally got it

You GO KARTING...

THEN go home to your computer and try to create it!!!!

thats exactly what doesnt happen and is 100% why LFS is Unrealistic & tyre dynamics and its very frustrating

Is this guy for real?

The physics of LFS or infact any racing sim are a realistic representation of how vehicles behave in real life, based on calculations and other mathematically sound science and research. You don't make a racing sim by going karting with your mates and then putting arbitrary numbers into some mickey mouse calculation until you come up with something that feels roughly like it did when you went karting.

1st January is probably the easiest date (it's at the top of the drop down lists) to select if you can't be bothered to fill in your actual date of birth.

If it's under warranty I'd just ask for a refund or replacement. I've had 3 wheels for the price of 1 this way.

1st wheel - G25 - Paid £150, pedals started spiking + dodgy smell, got a refund.
2nd wheel - G25 - Paid £150 using refund money, pedals started spiking, replaced with G27 under warranty
3rd wheel - G27 - Paid £0, hasn't gone wrong yet

If at all possible try and get a refund from the company you bought it off. That way you can buy a new one for the same price and have a whole new warranty

This word by word analysis of the use of tenses in the progress report..

In other news, I updated my avatar to reflect the current situation.

Well you'll still be driving at nearly the same speed.

Quote from dekojester :

If you'd be around more, I'd get it right.

But you're never around, and we're quite frankly sad about that

I've just realised I haven't made any major epic fails this year during an NDR event. That's going to seriously damage my reputation

I might try and do something in Klub Racing tonight..

Quote from dekojester :

Today, 28th December 2011 is the 4th Anniversary of the founding of an LFS body by Jack "J@tko" Atkinson, Joseph "J053PHS" Ellis, and Jonathan "dekojester" Palmer.

It's a fecking O not a 0

Might be better to do it the fuel consumption method (somehow), because based on my current fuel consumption I'm going to be driving for an hour and a half..

How are you supposed to tell if the car in the replay actually had 1% fuel in it?

Quote from vicbel :

This is almost an insult, a lack of respect with us the users.

I LOVE LFS and I really want to see it grow! I have been working for over two years maintaining a league that still holds full grid races every week but this "progress report" is very disappointing.

This is yet another nail in the coffin.

Scawen can't say that 'we've been working on content X,Y and Z', because if it's delayed or doesn't ever appear for whatever reason, he ends up with another Scirocco situation.

I'm not being a fanboy, just stating the obvious.

Quote from edge3147 :

Saying 5000 people have bought S2, maybe more. $40*5000 people = $200,000. If the number of people is higher than obviously the amount of money they have made is higher too.

Once you take the net profit (5000 sales does not equate to 5000 sales worth of profit), divide it by 3, divide it by the number of years LFS has been going and take out rent, bills, mortgage, whatever, you don't have a pot to piss in.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Super Capitalist Man.

I feel bad for ruining the Christmas spirit by buying up 95% of the board and brutally bankrupting my brother in the boxing day Monopoly game.







All four stations + Hotels on Mayfair and Park Lane ftw

Sorry but do people really have nothing better to do than moan on an internet forum in the early hours of the morning?* If there is going be a Christmas update/greeting, it could possibly be posted on Christmas day (shock horror :really. Complaining because you've heard nothing by 00:04 is pretty pathetic.

*I just woke up after falling asleep on the sofa, incase anybody was wondering

Quote from E.Reiljans :

dB is SI unit of measuring noise.

But it isn't.

I was actually going to bother to turn up yesterday but I got carried away sorting out my backup files. :doh:

Someone remind me when next Thursday. I will probably be beaten by some LFSCART pros and then need to have dinner, but it's worth a try.

Quote from tinvek :

R.i.p.

(ok this pissing me off, why is it when i post in capitals it changes the i and p to lower case? )

It's to stop people making crazy captain caps lock posts. If you want to write something like 'R.I.P.', just stick a lowercase letter somewhere in your post and colour it white.

Passed my driving test, got four university offers (so far), came 3rd in DMAX enduro and sprint karting championships, finished my gold DofE award.

I'd also like to think I've improved my photography but I probably haven't given that I've not had any time to take any pictures :rolleyes:

I decided to redo my edit and came up with this which is slightly more interesting than the first one. Kinda wish I'd moved the camera closer and the RAC slightly to the right so you got more RAC and less landscape. Meh.

EDIT: Made the sky a bit lighter round the sun, slightly blurred the reflections to make the surface look less like a pond.

Are you sure your calculation is right?

It is 1085 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes, 39 seconds since Friday, 19 December 2008





That's a lot of days...

The guy that posted that video (Chris Hackworth) is pretty much the fastest guy in a DMAX kart, and he knows Milton Keynes inside out.

Still a nice bit of driving though.

Quote from Rappa Z :

That sounds like where my car is heading. Here is a list of fun facts:

I reckon I did pretty well to get a 2002 Fiat Punto 1.2, done 38,000 miles for £650

At 60bhp it is somewhat down on power in comparison to the Renault Modus. I was recently going flat out up a hill with 4 people on board in 3rd gear at 40mph and I was actually slowing down. It's just that powerful.
