It ain't a mad attitude. It's me asking why waste your time. Essentially I'm being courteous to the guy. Advising him not to waste his time because he won't get many views there. He's welcome to disagree though.

I'm here saying what everyone else is thinking. Why record and average paced lap? It's a valid question.

I'm also probably wasting my time by uploading my drift rounds, as there are tons of them on youtube since the drift mode got released.

Why do you think you reflect what everyone else is thinking when "people smash your crap in your face 2 times a day" (as someone said), and you get constant disagreement? I actually enjoyed that video, cause I'm not getting graphics like that until I upgrade my rig, and at least it's some semi-decent driving for some addition.

Last link is wrong.

You're all on steering help? That's a bit faggish isn't it?

You are seriously trying really hard to take the piss on people right? At least get your facts right when you try to troll people.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Nah the majority of people are quicker in the xr than they are in fz. That's fact.


I'm not comparing LFS to AC just the relativity of the xr and fz compared with the 4-12 and 458.

I'm talking about the stock version of them, as of Scavier's balance. Not putting tons of kg and intake % on the FZR. It just got out of hands recently, that's why the XRR feels faster with community restrictions.

Happy 3rd birthday!

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Silverstone makes me mad. Driving the McLaren for a while... 0.2s off in S1, 1.3!!! off in S2, then 0.1 off in S3.

Sector 2 pls.

Also, this Rivali Tempo timing app is pretty neat.

I agree. Rivali Tempo is pretty damn awesome to have. At least it gives some more mood to keep on driving and get that best time. Did you meet my time on that combo? I've been trying a few laps out there, last night.

How Active Are You? I'm available mostly everyday, might need a bit of nagging for the practice runs though, to get back into the hang.
What Kind of Control do you use? G25

Quote from BlueFlame :

Actually I feel you could almost say the 458 was the XRR and the 4/12c is more like the FZR in the way that the FZR/McLaren is outright faster and harder to drive but the XRR/458 is easier to drive just as quick but not its not a quicker car outright.

That's quite a bad comparision to begin with. I wouldn't compare AC with LFS for sake, but if we take your standpoint, FZR is a lot easier to drive and is more rewarding thus Scavier not being able to balance 3 cars into the same category... The XRR is a lot harder to drive, gotta keep the momentum up with the turbos, gotta be a lot smoother going into the turns and is never gonna get the same pace as a mediocre FZR driver.

Quote from jrd.racer :

Good stuff man. What wheel are you using? Any settings recommendations if you on a G25/27?

I'm on G25, here are my settings:
Force 90
Filter 0
Damping 12

Kerb 60
Road 30
Slip 5


@McLaren, I tried the car on Silverstone and it's really fun, I don't understand how people get about 1 sec on me in mid sector and 0.2 in 1st sector, but I guess that's up to some practice. I set the car up so it slides a bit (with 4 wheels) in nearly every turn. I just didn't get the feeling most of you describe. I could catch every slide, and the accelerations didn't feel awkard. It's a solid version of 458 Italia, in my opinion.

The Drift version of E30 was just released with the new 0.3 patch. I thought I'd give it a quick try on the new Vallelunga layout, and the good ol' Driftland.

Hope you like it, despite the few mistakes in my driving.

That roadster better be pretty epic, else I'm pretty disappointed. I've been a fan of roadsters for ages, but the lotus mania is just getting a bit too far.

You would know all about that right:

Let's cheer for Beaver, who ruined the whole LFS community in a matter of few days. Good idea, Ray, you didn't dissapoint me once again.

Well, to say the least, those new patch notes left me untouched. I'm only happy for the Silverstone GP, as it's still my all-time favourite track for ages.

More...lotuses...again. Why?

And what about that other leaderboard app that was about to come out? Is it done yet? ^^

Quote from Scrabby :

Not really, Italian's automaticly will prefer Italian cars over any other. You can see it pretty good around here. Allot of Italians live around here and prefer to drive with Alfa's, Fiat etc... Although they're shit cars they still prefer their Italian make over any other...

That's what you call loyalty. Too much passion left from the time of Mussolini and Hitler.

As it throws an error message, that means it's handled, thus not a bug. /ban command is a useful thing and makes no mistakes.

Quote from e2mustang :

than tell me how do i start the car when the battery cable is off and the bonnet is shut closed?

I hope that's not your own start of story.

Here you come with the music comparision again, which is totally off-the-way, yet again. On the answer to me, you forgot the fact that LFS as a racing simulator, a software, data structures, algorhythms, code allows individuals to make additions to the game upon studying the program for a while. Music has a style for each an every song that cannot be defined. Programs have rules, that allow contributions upon studying... That's a good difference to begin with.

On the other hand, with your 10 years break comparision in music industry. Well, I'm yet to hear a band releasing their album as ALPHA or Work in Progress and sell it for actual money. Selling an alpha or early release or whatever you call it, for money is asking for mass and quality criticism and expectations towards continous updates recognizing the PAYING community's feedback. If Live for Speed was released as the Final version, nobody would have the right to complain.

EDIT: Freaking Matrixi passed me...

How can you compare a totally closed court of a music band and a group of "enthusiast" programmers that rarely make up for a company? I don't get your point at all... A music band doesn't have any room for contribution, a racing simulator definiately does.

I agree with Fade. Even teams with years of work and pre-planning, not even spontanous are starting to fall apart in the meantime. After that process they just fade away like it was non-existant at all. Good luck to dynX after all that.

I would love to see both vintage cars from nkpro ported over, or something like a cobra,mustang or maybe a Holden or ford from down under, something heavy with a lovely sounding v8 upfront

Quote from Scawen :

I don't really mind if people say it's too little too late or we have squandered our opportunity and LFS is dead. Doesn't really matter, the dip happened, I can't worry that people had to wait longer than they wanted to.

Those few sentences are what really caught my attention. Having my LFS history drawing back to the past far from now, way before my registering date. I still remember the developers caring about the community to a certain point and listening to feedback, thus involving every small, but important part of the community into the development. Those few sentences totally blew that illusion up in me, that I've built up in the past few years.

I think the potential was always realized, but not exploited by the developers. The monthly subscription would've worked back about 4 years ago when the community was expanding the most. Now its a lackluster, I don't think many people would love the iPaying route that LFS would take with the monthly subscription.
