Quote from binfishin :yo, im a LFS racer, and to be honest, i hate this new "race car"

so will someone please send me a link or website where i can remove patch y and put patch X back in? as thats where the true game is, even if it is single player, im not racing this " space machine " around the demo.

so yeah, any help would be cool... thanks..

This could be one of three things...

1: You're really a drifter and just want the XRT back

2: You're a racer but can't be bothered learning how to cut the the throttle for upshifts

3: You're a racer and want the XRT back because you don't like the slicked cars

Problems 1 and 3 can be solved by http://www.lfs.net/?page=shop and 2 can be solved by you learning

Quote from Svilen-BG :Does anyone have a crack for the Y version? I don't want to buy it. It's too much .

You have the computer you're posting this on. That has to have cost more than £24. Maybe save up?

Quote from thisnameistaken :I only mentioned anthropomorphic creatures.

I misread. Apologies.

Quote :So I've seen. Why? Can we conclude that it's not the creatures themselves you're interested in "dealing with" (whatever the hell that means) but rather their Japanese cartoon representations?

If by "dealing with" you mean being representations of them, then yes, personally I'm only really involved (and not much by that) in anime-style representations. I personally have no idea why it's anime-style as the main form and as such I can't really explain.

Quote from thisnameistaken :So is it only japanese-looking anthropomorphic animals you want to... er ... you like looking at, or does anything go? What about Beatrix Potter, or A.A. Milne, or Kenneth Grahame?

The furry subculture tends to only deal with anthropomorphic creatures. They do tend to be in an anime style, though.

Quote from Riders Motion :I think you mean you are zoophile, right?

NO! Zoophilia is a sexual attraction to animals. Even yiffing (sexual acts between furries) is different to that. I would hate to be even associated with anyone that is a zoophile, even more than I would dislike being associated with yiffers.

Quote from lizardfolk :I was told that there were many anti-furry sentiments on the net but after a while I haven't received any serious hate from the gaming community

I also received no comments on the WikiFur and VGCats (yes VGCats is a furry comic) sponsored cars.

Thxs for the replies *HISS*

I've just looked at the WikiFur, and found that some of my SL friends are in there. I also noticed that most of my SL furry friends aren't in there, possible because they're not really within the main furry communities.

If you do look at the Second Life characters section on there, you'll see the names Jaycatt Nico and Frogg Marlowe. They're amazing guys, and rather handy when it comes to music too

Quote from Bladerunner :Seriously...does this include hardcore Trekkies? A guy at work was a hardcore Trekkie...even wore his Captain Kirk 'uniform' to the works Xmas party one year..took him another 3 years to live it down. As a sidenote, he announced last year that he was a transgendered person and was going to have "Teh Chop" (Total reconstructive surgery). This was not met with the same derision as when he 'came out' as a Trekkie.

Not quite. Furries are specifically people that dress up as animals in one way or another, be it virtually or getting themselves a suit made. The Trekkie you're describing is just that - a trekkie. Rather large difference between dressing up as Kirk and dressing up as an animal

*grabs thread and pulls it back to topic*

During the time I've spent on Second Life (well over a year now) I've been in contact with a lot of people that describe themselves as furries. The vast majority of these have been what you describe as "Category 1" furries, with a handful of "Category 2" ones and the very occasional "Category 3" one.

The Category 1 ones (that is, the ones with just furry avatars) are a generally nice bunch. I enjoy hanging around with them. They don't mind that others aren't furries or anything, they have no general hatred of furry haters either. They just get along with day to day stuff like the average person.

The Category 2 ones are much the same. Again I enjoy chatting with them. They don't try to force anything on people so all is good. These appear to be the ones that get annoyed at those that don't like furries themselves, however I've not personally seen them doing anything *to* said people.

The Category 3 ones are a sick bunch. While I've been in a furry avatar (consider me slightly Category 1, I have a couple of avatars I wear occasionally) all that I have heard from them is requests for some sort of sex/bondage etc. Totally disgusting, and I don't wish to have any Category 1 or 2 furry associated with them at all. Hence me voting for the 3rd option

When the front wheels skid in reality (I'm on about while understeering here) the tyres still generate grip. Go try it out on an airfield or something, You'll find you still turn, just not as much as you would when you don't turn the wheel too much

EDIT: Go take a look into slip angles and stuff in tyres. Will come in very useful

Quote from lerts :i use ghost car it gets removed

Ghostcar is an external add-on, not part of LFS itself. If Kegetys hasn't coded it for Y yet, it's no fault of the LFS devs

Quote from lerts :i use digital speedo it gets removed

Because the car you are driving doesn't have one. Try the FBM if you *really* want a digital speedo.

Quote from lerts :i use outside view it gets removed

That's a server option. Go find a different server.

Quote from lerts :i use previus version to use ghostcar, records get removed being pointless keeping at

The physics changed, of course records are gonna be removed!

Quote from lerts :but what annoys me the most is the game is to favour arcade players against pilots

No it doesn't. Patch Y added things that if anything will make arcade drivers more annoyed than they already were at LFS.

Quote from lerts :a pilot will search the limits without crossing if you spinn the wheel too much either front or rear wheels skid if back wheels you spin

if front wheels skid nothing happens

wait nothing happens and what about centrifugal force and diference between static and dinamic friction

If you turn the wheel too much the front wheels will understeer. Too much throttle in a high powered car will cause the drive wheels to slip. If the drive wheels are the rear ones then yes, the car will start to slide and (in the case of too much slipping) spin out.

And 2 things about the forces stuff:

1. In the application of a car turning a corner centrifugal force *does not exist*. You're looking at centripetal force there.

2. If you don't start sliding you have rolling friction between the road and the road. If you *do* start sliding then it is dynamic friction. Where does static friction come into this? Does a car magically turn a corner while not moving?

Quote from lerts :if you oversteer the wheel and skid front wheels the car will go straight and go off the road no way it can keep turning

That's called understeer. Try slowing down

3.1 states 2 locations only. 3.3 states that you may unlock after a format etc with the spare unlocks. Nowhere is it stated that more than 2 PCs may be unlocked. Having a quick read would be good

Quote :3.1 You may install S1 or S2 on 2 computers for your own use or to race a friend on a Local Network.

XRT, just to annoy the Demo-ers

TeamSpeak or Ventrilo?
Yet another Quad-Bike accident :(

Just found this on the BBC News website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/7161165.stm

IMO 7 year olds should not be allowed to drive quad bikes at all. In fact, if I go down that line, I think they should be banned totally, various incidents have shown that they're not safe.

The 7 year old was involved in a head-on collision with a Range Rover, so what hope did she have of survival? Totally ridiculous that they're still allowed if you ask me.

He means would you rather lock yourself outside your car but be able to get in the house, or lock yourself out of your house but have access to the car.

I say Car, since I'd not cope without a house.

Controversial one here: LFS or rFactor?
