They do deserve some credit for not ricing their cars though.

Quote from BigPeBe :

where other idiots are standing by the road and waiting to get hit by the car

Sounds like WRC

Quote from BigPeBe :

You get points by how many idiots you bowl down during crashing the car.

Sounds like T1 on a Redline server

ss1 was not messier than it is today before the fox was replaced by the fbm.

My first car was a volvo 340 with a cvt and it drifted reasonably well.

If you do not have a lot of rear grip you don't need power.

Quote from chanoman315 :

since new patch it sucks a lot!...

In what way? For me it was just a matter of creating a new setup and accepting slower laptimes. The driving pleasure is unchanged imho.

The FOX is still my fave. I never understood why most people prefer the torque-less FBM.

Quote from Bean0 :

The driver change is instant though, so there is no gain to be had.

@ Joris - When you are spectating, you can press the 'T' button next to the name of a driver already racing. This is your Takeover request.

When the other guy pits, he will see an illuminated T next to your name, and can press this after the tyres/repair/refuel is complete to hand the car over.

The quickest way is just to start hammering the illuminated 'T' button when refuelling begins.

Never knew about this feature. Thanks!

Not if the speed is measured at the gearbox.

How do you perform a driver change? I did not even know it is possible at the moment.

Not a bad suggestion imho. A few square kilomters of dirt will do nicely.

I would have liked it if it was there from the start but after having driven 73742km I can't be bothered anymore.

Quote from caseybavier :

I was wanting to make a skin for my favorite car, the XRT. But I can't find any templates that work with the stock windows paint app (ms paint). Also if you have any drift skins for this car that you would like to share with me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a goodnight!!

If you are working with paint I recommend saving to BMP format and converting this file to jpg with a different application (like MS photo editor) the to be able to see and use it in LFS. The JPG compression from paint is rather ugly. Especially if you modify-save-look-modify-save-look multiple times. Your artwork will turn in to mess otherwise.

(maybe this thread should be moved to the skin-section)

The person who did that did not change your password otherwise you could not enter the forum using your account or am I missing something?

Quote from buedi :

Just read that starting post from Scawen about that delay... and I can say it´s good news for me.
Why? 1st you need balls to say that something where hundreds of people are waiting is delayed. I am sure there will be many complains (no, I did not read the whole thread now).

But it´s great to hear that the release is delayed until the Bugs are fixed and more important, that the new features we get (including the car) will be released only when they reach the high standard we all expect.

2nd: I had not thought that we get the car this year, so I was really surprised that we should get it this week. Because of that I really have no problem waiting longer for something I did not expect to get before Q1 / Q1 2009.


So, thanks for delaying the Update and the Scirocco until it´s perfect. You do it better than most of the big companies where we all are playing REAL Beta testers (sadly you never find that on the Box!). Here, we play a Alpha which has a higher standard of quality than most released, boxed Products which claim they are finished

Looking forward to 2009 wishing all a very nice Christmas and a happy new year

Very true. microsoft could learn from this!

Take your time guys!

Without the VWS it's still the best sim/game 24 pounds can buy and I am confident it will be a gem when it's released. The announcement of limited setup parameters for a roadgoing car made my day!

Some people should remember what they agreed to when financially contributing to the development of this game.

Quote from erfrag :

finally bought a license because of this!

i'd be in heaven if LFS had a MKiv Jetta 1.8t (or a VR6), Carbonio intake and a Remus exhaust!

Despite that wish. Welcome to S2!

Welcome and enjoy!

Quote from TurboLag :

Senna did a full Monaco GP on one tank (and one tyre set too). No pitstops for a whole Monaco GP is quite an achievement

Mika Salo did that aswell. Not sure about the year, think it was 1997.

Quote from Uximura :

Joris you have that at 4096x4096?

These are original. I took the colour samples from VW's website.

Very happy to see a real gearstick in there!

Quote from raftor :

I dont think so. My tyres behave similar.... (same temperature pattern, max temp, etc) It's the same circuit... in succesive races, so it's not normal to change wind or race conditions. It seems that actual setup (memory setup) does not correspond to stored one. I don't know if it's at storage time or a reading time. Or maybe all is my imagination and my lack of constancy 8) Thanks for your responses. raftor

Are you sure you are drinking the same booze everytime?

If it's not in some kind of a christmas patch (like last year) I think it will be a loooooong time.

Maybe it has only been made for the VW-simulator.

Quote from unseen :

It`s not a case of lightening up, it`s just that if someone puts "do not edit" on their skin, it should be respected. If someone really wants to edit it, a little PM asking to do so is all that is required to get a definitive answer.

Usually most people are fine with it, and would more than likely say yes as long as they get a little credit.

You are right.

The "restricted" components are from Gerdoner and Knight_Attack.

I sent PM's to Gerdoner and Knight_Attack.

Gerdoner already granted permission on the condition that I credit him in the skin-file.

I will wait for Knight_Attack's response before I will use it again.

-Recieved positive response. Thanks Yannick!
