now on topic, i wish i had a wheel, but i can't afford it, in fact as you can see i can't even afford S2...

so i have to stick to mouse&kb.

Quote from Dajmin :

It makes me wonder how well the mouse drivers would do if that steering gauge was removed.

without any problem. i use the steering wheel as reference

Quote from Mazink :

just use restriction on car and POUF "tuned" car

Racing with max intake restriction and added mass? now that´s a fully tuned, uber fast car...epic

might help if you look at the mouse properties. i think there is an option to choose single or double click.

tbh i do better times when i'm not focused at the racing on my screen. it's usual for me to completely distract myself of what's happenning and start thinking on something else for like 3 or 4 minutes (my school grades, or something unusual that happened to me,...), and surprisingly i make almost perfect laps when on it. then i "wake up" a notice "hey i got another pb "

Quote from nesrulz :

+1 for png!

+1000000

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Do you guys think Hamilton will get penalty?

tbh i don't know. i still didn't understood very well how did that happened...

Great race!!! And finally BMW team won their first!!!

Well done Kubica & Heidfeld!

Quote from The Moose :

I see it took Ronaldo less that 60 seconds to make his first dive...

as usual...

i wish he played for Portugal as good as he does in MU.

I installed now the Y21 patch, but my average FPS count actually dropped in certain sittuations (tested it a few times to be sure of it).

Running alone in BL1:
Before the Y21 patch: ~40fps
With the Y21 patch: ~35fps

With me at the back of the grid + 9 AI racers it remains the same: ~20 on the grid and ~25 racing.

My computer:
AMD Sempron 2800+ 2.0Ghz
Geforce FX 5200 128MB
512MB RAM DDR400

lol

only one. it's this one

own it for almost 7 years and still working

cruisers and racers are only separated because racers started this separation. i frequently see racers respond aggressively to drifters/cruisers, and vice-versa. creating separate sections will only increase this feeling of contempt for the other types of driving.

-1 in my opinion. the idea is keeping the community together, not separating it in 'gangs'.

Quote from SilverArrows77 :

i always find www.gamershell.com not to bad for finding free games

anyone played soldat?

i play...great game

This is about turning them on or off.
I noticed in options that the speedo and the rpm gauge have to be disabled and enabled together, that means you have both or none of them in your screen.
Since some real life cars have no rpm gauge (for instance my Renault Clio or my previous Opel Corsa) maybe we could be able to control them separately, for instance to only turn the speedo visible.
i think it should be useful to those that want to learn to shift properly just by listening the engine sound or by the car's speed, but can´t stop looking at the rpm gauge, for example.

i access it no problem

ps: edited. try the new one

I've been very interested in buying a Saitek R660 (70€ new) but i have a question about its pedals to anyone that experienced them.

http://prohardver.hu/dl/rev/2007-12/1849/saitek_wheel.jpg

I want to know about the pedals' durability, because they look like a bit fragile to me. It seems that there is a big risk of breaking them if pressed harder.

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

...

A side note: If your car is having problems on the bumps lower your spring rates and especially your shock rates to get the car to float over the bumps better, doubly so if the bumps are in a brakezone. You may have adjust your ride height as well.

thanks, but i already know how to setup the car. my question here is how are the bumps generated...

but anyway, i don't want to bump an old thread, so...

going on, look at this audi 'twin-turbo'. nice bonnet, please note the 'precision' of the cut.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

All of them

almost 1 year old...so that's why i didn't find it

the thread's title says exactly what this is: if you found a ricer that made you laugh, and you took a photo of it, post it here, so we can all laugh together.

for my contribution, i took a photo of this yellow 'Fiat Stilo' about an year ago, really stupid, specially the spoiler, but i can't find it. luckily, somebody also took a photo of this 'brilliant' car, and here it is (take a good look at it's spoiler ):

if you have some other 'great rides', please show them here.

Quote from BullHorn :

I feel like I got into a kindergarten. What the hell is wrong with you people? You're arguing about ways of driving in a video game.

couldn't agree more

ps: i mean no offense to anyone that might watch this, but i still hope to transmit the idea...

ps2: BullHorn be careful with that one, because i sense that someone will flame you and reply "LFS is not a videogame, it's a simulator". i know it, it happened to me before.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

I assume he's referring to how the game engine produces the bumps.

yes, that's exactly what i meant

I noticed when running with harder suspension setups that my car was bumping a lot on track, but my question is, are those little bumps generated randomly, or there are already specific points where they occur?

ps: i found nothing about this with the search...
