I don't particularly care, as long as there's only one thread. I never even read the first post, just the following discussion

My thoughts exactly!

Usually the best overtaking happens on cicuits where people don't expect it.

Quote from wild :

I’m pretty sure the team has to tell the FIA the correct weight of the car after the qualifying. Also I'm sure the FIA weighs the cars after qualification? So 605Kg including driver + car weight and what ever left over is the fuel load.

Please tell me if I’m wrong.

Well, Briatore basically admitted alonso's car was underweight when saying that he carried as much fuel as Button.

I just read on a Dutch F1 site that Felatio Briatore claims that his cars are faster than the Brawns and Red Bulls but the circumstances did not show that.

He even stated that Fernando had as much fuel after qualifying as Jenson.

This guy is turning senile even quicker than Bernie.

The team supported him for 10+ years and now he leaves after one incident? Yeah, sure. :rolleyes:

I could not agree more. And a year in the midfield would be a valuable experience...and characterbuilding.

For example: Alonso impressed me more last year than in 05 an 06.

Maybe that's just how he spellz.

Hey guys, who you think will be World Champion of the 2009 season?
Vote for your favorite driver for the Chamionship of 2009!

Unable to comply with the OP.

I think Kimi (no, I am not a Ferrari Fan) but my favourite drivers are Rubens and Nico.

Quote from TagForce :

I usually don't BD in open wheel sims... However, sometimes it is preferable over regular slingshooting over and over, even in real life. In real life your front wing can't cope with it, in LFS it can.

Same goes for kerbjumping. In real life your suspension would fail after 3 turns, in LFS you can do it without problems.

I see no difference in bumpdrafting and, for instance, kerbjumping. They're both making use of the physics system to gain speed.

So why is one of them considered 'cheating' by so many, and the other is looked upon as 'incredible driving'?

You are not (necessarily) hitting other car's when kerbjumping. Seems like a proper distinction to me.

I had a great time on this server yesterday! The overall conduct was very pleasant.

The popularity of the FBM over the FOX has never ceased to amaze me. Great to see a packed server with foxes again. I have not seen this since the introduction of the FBM.

Quote from DarkTimes :

LOL - that actually makes it worse. I mean circuit knowledge is fairly niche, but geography is something we should all know.

True in a way, yes.

I did get all of the countries right!

79% in 1:11.9

I do believe this is more about geography than circuit knowledge.

Quote from J@tko :

We might put the LX4 in later. Depends on how bored I am/whether people want it

Please do! This car is seriously underrated.

joris: i saw you join, but you left before i had a chance to sit down and join in.

ah well, i guess i'll see what today brings.

Sorry Bun, I think I should have been a little more patient.

Quote from DevilDare :

huh? RSR just copied NDR to be honest. They did a "fill-up" for one night before NDR opened, and never went offline as they saw how popular it is..... kinda rude i would say. And anyway, 2 is more than enough me thinks

As far as I can see there is room for the both of them.

I just did some laps in a restricted XRT on blackwood. Not really a seat of the pants drive but this should provide some very close racing. I will surely give this a go.

Quote from G!NhO :

lol


Well its not silly, because you cant put your rear lights on.

better?

Well...considering the answers aren't getting any better...it'll do.

Quote from G!NhO :

No

Thanks for explaining.

Now I understand your impressive post count.

Isn't it a bit silly to be driving with front lights on and tail lights off?

Wait untill the germans discover this thread.

Thanks, now I can sleep in peace

Maybe I have been living under a rock but where do all these similar avatar's com from?

over the past weeks there has been an explosion of similar avatars made of a portrait with a limited amount of colours and a name underneath on this forum.

Not judging, just curious...

Quote from Zen321 :

You can't have a setup to be at the same time well-balanced for every drivers and extremely performant as an absolute criteria.

For instance, a friend of mine has been racing for quite a while on WR setus, and he feels comfortable with the understeer it has (for stability). I can't drive those, because I don't like to be struggling to turn in.
My setups have a broader range of outputs with the exact same inputs, but it is quite harder to stay on the edge when going fast. While I don't have any problems to do so, he, on the other hands, find them unstable, and I find his really far from my driving technique.

But we have similar times... As I say again, a setup is a tool to victory. The better the tool is, the better the result will be. But give a good tool to a bad worker will always be worse than giving a bad tool to a skillfull worker.

It's the same with racing.

When we are talking about road cars in lfs (either fictional or simulated) setups should be balanced like real cars generally are. WR sets generally do not reflect the way any road car handles (or should handle). In my opinion there is no virtue in being able to race a setup that does not reflect realistic handling.

For race cars I am all for having setup options (within realistic parameters).

Quote from RedCoupe :

It would likely be less equal if there was a standard set.
People have different driving styles, to be really fast the setup must be fit to the driver.
With only one setup it would only be fit to one style of driver, disadvantaging those with equal skill but different technique.

I expect a standard setup to be quite well balanced. Everyone would just need to adapt.

It's only natural for a car to suit one driver more than the other.

Quote from yaper :

You don;t have to send it, it is perfectly described at LFS Manual page:
http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/S ... for_Logitech_G25_users.29

To be on topic. I'm always using shifter and wheel turn configuration which corresponds to the actual car. That's one of the reasons I bought G25 for.

Thanks, works fantastic!

Although I prefer to use the stick on cars that would have it IRL I use the paddles for the simple reason that it's not possible to configure the stick on a G25 for both sequential and H-pattern in LFS.

UP and down operate the same switches as 1st and 2nd.

I am too lazy to change these settings when switching cars.
