Writing code that supports Dual core CPU is VERY hard so I believe based on my other pastime of MS flight sim, from what I've read its keeping both cores working together that's the problem, one core waiting for another to finish processing mean BIG lags and drops in FPS.

But yes if it can be done It could make a Huge difference to LFS

Have a Happy New year

Race starts are FAR from easy, infact I think they are getting harder.
Not a fan of restarts, Groundhog Day anyone?

Great Film

John

I think the tyre grip as you burn fuel has 99.9% to do with the perceived difference.

But saying that a car with 100% gogo juice Is slower than a car with 5%
But with the normal 5/10 lap races that are the norm ,20% or 15 fuel you can't tell the difference

John

First off thanks to Yama-T and all concerned for this new sound Mod.
I like it a lot LFS for me Is much better with it.

John

Great isn't it physics at work, stunning video .

I have a video of a 747 descending into clouds and encountering turbulance, suddenly the wings and engines act like they are held together by Jelly , gets me everytime I watch it.

The horning season ended on the 30th September, come back next spring.

Posting table out again

...and then I go online to race at some public servers....

It occurs to me that everyone here in this discussion is exactly the driver I want to be on track with. Someone with a clear cut philosophy on how to handle themselves in traffic.

Not like the clowns I was racing last night, who's sole technique for passing was to drive right through the middle of my car

Yes and if even a couple of them read this they may see the light.
I think we should have some form of racing etiquette posted in a sticky thread ...maybe something like this?.
It concerns GPL but I think it still give's good advice.

What do you think?

But if you are side by side into the corner, and the inside car gets mostly ahead (i.e. his rear wheels now inline with your fronts) then I believe he has the right to take roughtly what line he likes.

Agree 100% if the car is ahead its your line my friend enjoy ,I back off and get back on your tail Its not about who's inside or outside inside but who's IN FRONT.

An important issue though, I will now put my pasting table away

John

The difference between demo and licened s2

In most server on demo( apart from a few good drivers) if you treat other drivers with respect you get crap in return
In the licenced version you will get setup's offers of help to improve you racing, some great new cars and tracks.

It really is night and day

John

Hi sinbad

Quote :

We all know the basic overlap rule. The inside car has the right to take the racing line

Never heard of this rule? where does it come from?
Why is it "obvious you have the corner??

I,m not having a go at you BTW I just don't need the next driver who takes the inside line at a speed they cant keep through the corner and uses my car as a mobile barrier to hold there way through it to quote this rule at me.

cheers
John

They think that because they are able to stay side-by-side they are entitled to do so. The driver on the inside is allowed to assume the racing line, and that can mean running through the corner at full speed and so using all of the track on the exit of the corner.

Far too many people complain about being pushed wide when really the collision was not intentional and it was their own fault because it was their responsibility to concede the position

Why does being on the inner part of a corner, and side by side give you the right to the use the racing line and run another car off the track?

Am I reading you right?

If this is true I've wasted the last 8 years
I Should just use the racing line and send them into the grass ?.
Inside/outside, if your level ....you leave room.


John

Yep I see this as well, hotlapping is much easier but far less rewarding than racing, but some take the easy route and go around the track as if there's no one else there.

Also noticing more and more that these poor souls become deaf and dumb as well as blind when asked about there heroic manouver.

Its like if they say nothing they did nothing wrong, keep asking untill they thet get the power of speech back is the best way to help

John

thanks for the pillow

I'm so tired

Not been to Knockhill for years good to see the track again.
I can put LFS names to some of those drivers

Ohh no!!... oversteer!....Over compensate spin and crash!, repeat this every time you approach this corner, if you get frustrated, blaming another driver adding swearing and hand gestures will help untill you see your shrink in the morning.


John

I like mosport, flows like fine wine and gives you nosebleeds with the elevation changes

John

Quote :

Oh, and: Bind "Thanks" to a button. While the idiots often spam "BLUE FLAG!!!1 MOOOOOVEE NOOOB!" at slower cars, they rarely get a thank-you for moving over, so I always thank drivers who let me pass safely

I calll mine's F2 giving respect to other drivers works
I get payed back many times most nights.

John

What was the thread about again?.......

Ok Got it .....having a faster driver breathing down you neck does wonders for my concentration, also try to think about just the corner ahead, drive it in your mind before you reach it,delete all thoughts of splits, previous laps, how bad I did that last corner, will I get curry for dinner.. etc.

I will now return to a Zen-like state....UMMMMMMMMMM:hippy:

Buy S2.. is it perfect no, is it better than demo...... its night and day.

Best £24 you could spend if you have any interest in online racing simulation , In s2 you can't change your name so mud sticks so "most" drivers want to stay clean


John

I think racing with you real name may catch on

Very sad news ..far too young.

John

I really enjoy racing the tracks in s2, great to drive , except AS nat chicane... oh the pain of it
I look forward to the day that real tracks could be added,( if possible)

The tracks in GPL spring to mind, Spa, Kylami ..Brands hatch, Monza and the one with lots and lots of corners.

But saying that AS historic reminds me of many of these tracks.

John

Feel like I've crossed into the twilight zone
Why try and make LFS into something very strange and confusing?

Lets race?

John

Being rammed after a race is not my Idea of fun, and it does the wheel no good getting violenty rammed lock to lock.

We have the best race sim going why turn it into a banger arcade game after the race ends?.
Really curious what fun people get from ramming into another car as hard as they can, a bit of a laugh maybe the first couple of times , but over and over again?.

LFS is a simulator ,lets treat it like one

Just my humble opinion

John

Hands up who has been AFK at start?.
Guilty here a few times since I got LFS

Let he is who without sin etc...

John
