Quote from MAGGOT :That error comes, usually, when your skin name is too long.

As for the OP: does it come up in the skin list under the 'colours' tab?

thanks. i changed the skin name and it's working now

i think i know which problem is. i got the same.

LFS just says: "Can't load skin: (skin name)"

this only happens with the skins i created. public skins i downloaded work fine.
my skins are in jpg format and in the folder data\skins, like the others that work.

Quote from Dark Elite :Take care with that... Spoilers, diffusers and body shape don't affect performance?

Sam

Yes. They do. If not, F1 cars (and others) didn't have all those aerodynamic parts.

Car tuning? I will change that a little bit and say something like racing modifications.
maybe 2 or 3 spoilers and bodykits, not for looks like those stupid NFS kits, but to have some differences in aerodynamics.
I remember when i played Street Legal Racing Redline, there different parts added different behaviours on the car. For example one spoiler added very little downforce, other one heavy downforce, and even other one added more stability when cornering.
Changing wheels? I don't think it's necessary, but i won't deny it would bring some fun to the game.

I guess not.

btw I want to buy S2. I'm tired of demo but my parents don't let me use the internet to buy things. (bad thing of being 18 but living in your parents house )

It seems the corporate dinosaur that is big record companies are busy committing suicide again. We can hope that metaphorical asteroid isn't far off now.

I imagine we'll soon be seeing lawsuits against people listening to music they've bought as actually playing it is 'a nice way of saying "steals a copy and puts it into the air"'.

the only thing i can say: STUPIDITY

thinking that way, backup copies are illegal too.

Category 1 are people who just have an affinity for it. Nothing more nothing less. (Think casual StarFox fans).


honestly I'm not sure if i can be into this group, but never farther than this.

i'm now getting into drawing (i haven't done it since my 15 years, and i'm 18 now. never had the skills, but hey, it's never too late to try it again) and i can say anthropomorphic animals are great models to be based on, because you are not limted to the human form, and you can always vary on some details, ad let's face it, everyone likes a well drawn artwork (surely not mine :razz, no matter in what it consists.

Quote from jayhawk :"Some say that he joins servers to wreck others for fun, and that his real username is racecar spelled backwards...all we know is, he's called The Stig".

you're right. i remember a few days ago someone named "The Stig", parked on the finish line, and when i was about to pass he tried to ram my car. good thing is i managed to do a quick maneuver and avoid him, and i still kept my car under control. thank god for my drift skills!

Quote from kamkorPL :
Did LFS help you to get more or less into motorsports in real life?

Not yet, but i still hope i can get into motorsports someday...

i had the opportunity of playing S2, thanks to a friend of mine (i hope to get my S2 license soon ), and by my experience, all RWD cars are able to drift (yes, even the XRG).
personally i don't use any special setup. the hardtrack setup with normal road tires works fine for me, but try to create your own setup, so it will suit your driving skills. basically lower and harden the suspension, but not too much, and a little more pressure on tires should help too, and thats all you need. you can also setup some more when you are more experienced, camber for example. (and i almost forgot. at first, use lower grip tires on the rear, for example front-road normal, and rear-hybrid. then try the same tires on both front and rear)
if you want some advices, first start with some donuts. since you use the G25, it will help you get the feel of the car on oversteer. then try some circles/ovals on countersteer. at first it will be easy to spin off or understeer, but with time you will be able to do long drifts on countersteering. IMPORTANT TIP: everytime you drift, don´t aim for the perfect drift. instead, let the drifts flow naturally. it takes time, but you will be surprised with the results.
also try some countersteering around a cone (i guess you know how to place one, but if you don't know, for example on BL car park (good place to practice) press Shift+U, choose the cone and place it with "O")
now try making a turn around the cone using the handbrake. when approaching the cone, turn and then hit the clutch and the hand brake for a short time. then release them (don't use the throttle yet).
when you get used to it, do the same, but now as you release the clutch and the handbrake, hit the throttle and countersteer, and then its all about practice so you don't spin off or understeer. by the way, remember the important tip i gave you above. use it here too. at first don't worry if you understeer or spin, just concentrate on using the handbrake, then, when you got the feel of it, try to control the drift. (edit: i forgot to include this: on the first times, drift on 1st gear only. when you got the feel of it then try some drifts on 2nd or even 3rd)
then its all about trying it on the track and also try some other techniques.

if you want to learn techniques and how they are done you can watch the Keiichi Tsuchiya's Drift Bible (you can find videos on youtube, for example). OK, its real drifting, but it helps a lot too on Live for Speed.

And these tips can help you too if you want to start some real drift, as long as you don't do it on public streets

Quote from Racer556 :
Oh, and a tip, drifting uses almost the same braking points and lines.

don't forget this. its important too.

Quote from Electric Eye :I never said the new car is bad, I love it but everyone misses XRT, yes we have three cars. No one uses the first two. Especialy XRG (or whatever it is called)

60 minute limit on demo? Great idea, for most newbies it takes a lot longer to figure out how to drive a car, especially youngsters so they wouldn't get the idea of how great the sim is and just forget it after the 'demo limit'

No one uses XRG? I prefer drifting in XRG rather than the XRT.

ps: I can't buy the game right now. I just don't have enough €

This is the first time i visit the forum after the release of patch Y, and honestly i wasn't expecting so many threads complaining about it.
So i created this one not to complain, but for you to talk about any bug related to realism you might found on patch Y.
Right now, i played it 1 hour, and i felt something strange about the clutch, but i still can't describe what it is. I will play again and try to find what it is.
