Hi all! I'm interested to know the community's opinion on which is the best driving style. I know that there are many slightly different driving styles that are between the 2 extremes but if we were to discuss on a more general level. The first of the 2 extremes is ultra smooth. A few examples of drivers who are more on the smooth side than rough are M.Schumacher, Fisichella and Button. Basic idea is, ultra smooth input everywhere (smooth braking, throttle and steering). Usually, constantly driving just below the limit. Then there is the other side of the scale, the rough stuff. A few drivers who are/were on the rough side were Senna(R.I.P ), Villeneuve and Alonso. Basic concept here is that you don't mind if you go a bit above the limit (small skids here and there) as long as you come down from it a bit. Personally, I'm of the latter I believe. So, which one do you think is more efficient? ragged roughness or silk smooth?

Well, IMO, most world records don't represent real life race driving that much. If you look at some of biggi's BF1 world records, the fact that he straightens the wheel at the exact same point he hits the throttle, thus using the lack of TC to get the car to turn out of the corner. His skill is very impressive, I never doubted that, he is definitely a great driver but you wouldn't see that kind of thing in F1 in real life. Alonso uses that same concept but not to the extent of how biggi does it. I think the tintop WRs aren't that all different from real life race driving. I suppose because they're easier to drive than the BF1 so in real life, its more likely that you'll have almost the same amount of confidence as you would in a sim.

Quote from XVII :

I mean come on, who cares if someone bumps into you or nudges you (obviously someone who is intentionally trying to just hit other people with their car is a problem)

But from seeing everything on this board...YOU GUYS ARE WAY TOO UPTIGHT ABOUT MAKING SURE YOU DON'T TAP SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR!

Whatever happened to just having fun with racing? Doing this freaking honor system thing is ridiculous! You guys could have a lot of fun if you let down on some of the "standards" of "honor" driving. I say whoever gets first they do whatever it takes to get first. That is the most important part of the race, GETTING FIRST PLACE! That is the whole premises of racing in general!! The glory of winning the race. If someone sideswipes you and they get ahead of you...you should have seen them coming and gotten ready.

Defensive driving yeah, but a little offense would relieve some stress in the race.

I'm sure I'll get flamed and disagreed to wazoo...I don't really care. Just something for you guys to think about.

Sorry to disappoint you but I won't EVEN start to consider your opinion. Pure racing is meant to be honourable, if you don't think it is, then I sure hope I don't race against you in LFS. I agree, some people can be a bit too serious about sim racing but being just serious is fine and just.

Very sad . I always liked Wurz and just felt that he never got the chance he deserved. Rosberg did out perform him but still, Wurz was no pushover. I look forward to seeing him in Le Mans

Hi all! I've been playing RBR quite a bit over the past week. Just love it!!! . I've been driving around for a while and tbh, I'm quite surprised at how slow the AI is. I can usually smash the game's times by around 20 seconds so its quite boring and no real challenge so I was wondering, would any1 here be up for an online session of RBR sometime soon? I can't host a server due to my shitty bandwidth but I know that there is quite a bit of interest for RBR around here so any1 willing to set a server up?

For the cars, I was thinking we could go with the 2006 WRC cars. They're probably the best cars in the game for obvious reasons .

You can get a HUGE pack of cars here :

RSRBR V4.01.01

RSRBR 4.2.0 Update

BAH! looks like a toy more than a wheel. Hate the way the wheel points up the way it does, looks stupid. Nice attempt but G25 is doing really good for me

Hi all! I've recently got a G25 and LUUVIN it . Got back into good 'ole Richard Burns Rally and after a few days, got the RSRBR Mod which is one of the best mods I've ever seen . Anyway, I was interested to know, is it possible to do some sort of simple conversion or maybe a USB to Xbox port converter (pretty basic stuff like stick the USB cable in one end and the other into the Xbox). I don't really care much if I don't get some force feedback. I just would like to try Forza with it .

No problem at all lads. I just thought perhaps you could try and see how I'm viewing things.

I wish you all the best with the league.

Make sure to look after those fronts

I just wish to clarify that last season was hosted by the CRC and while at the time, I was involved with many conflicts between ATC members, that shouldn't give you the right to have me banned from the series. The decision as I see it is up to Stoney. True, he and I don't get on well anymore but I've noticed on the Challenge Cup website that "01" is Reserved with an appropriate blue background (or Cobalt) and Polar White text, stating that my return was expected. I will leave the decision up to you lads but I would just like to notify you that I know how to race in leagues in a professional manner and I've decided not to speak to any of the participants whom I've had former conflicts with in order to maintain the professionalism of the league and to make sure that it is understood by people that I'm only there to compete and defend the title that I rightfully posses.

As you are the RD dadge, I will leave the decision up to you. You and I haven't got on well in the past and while, as I've mentioned before, hate the concept of being on bad terms with people, I will not attempt any form of truce because you and I both know how it ends.

I await your PM later today and I'm sorry to see you think that way The End but everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.

Well, I heard that Alonso crashed out which is very unfortunate. Theres a 12 point difference now and Alonso needs a miracle really (perhaps put a gun to Ron's head to sabotage Hamilton's car ) to win it. Hamilton is in a very comfy situation. You know, thinking about it, it seems Alonso has fallen in to Schumi's patterns. After his cheeky move at Spa with Hamilton at La Source, he got punished for it in Fuji, same way how Schumi was cheeky at Monaco and his car went at Suzuka.

Kids, can you see a moral lesson here? Don't ever cheat because it'll bite you in the ass hard later

Well, would you be able to tell me how or lead me to a place where I could learn?

Hi all! I need some help with creating the scripts I posted above. Now, I've never gone near the scripting system of LFS so I don't really know much about it but I just read a bit about it in AndroidXP's Script Guide and got a general idea of how it works. However, there are a few things I would like to enforce that I didn't find in the guide.

First off, I want to be able to force shifter only devices to make things more interesting when racing online. Secondly, I would like to implement a fully working clutch system where its a must to use the clutch when launching and if at a stand still in gear, engine stalls (I know it may seem hard but I was thinking of how the ignition button could have a part in all this ) and lastly, I want to know how to force intake restrictions (which I believe has already been done but I would still like to know how its done ), as well as removing the weight restrictions that are taken from the Master Server.

This isn't a request, its more of a "can you teach me how to go about things?" kind of thread so that in future, you won't get annoyed by my numerous script requests and so that I don't have to write a ton of threads asking for things .

Just a small question, my account has been banned on the ATC site, where according to the rules of the league, thats where incidents are to be reported so what do I do if I wish to report incidents?

Thanks!

might get back into season 3. After all, have to defend my title.

I'll have a go of it later tomorrow . I like the idea of drawing a line of objects easily. One of the things that scared me away from making layouts in LFS was having to place each object with equal distances.

I just wanted to ask, I didn't see it in your original post but I was wondering, would it be possible to add a feature where you can draw a corner and adjust the track width so that you can have a 4m wide corner but you only have to draw one side of the corner and then the program will automatically make the other side to be 4m apart. If you can do that, I would LUUV IT!

Well, got a new wheel . Will have a go of this layout later tonight.

Its alright Chano and Phonso, I understand some people are busy but the people I'm talking about are those other people who weren't but don't want to participate. I'm not saying that I'm holding a gun against a person's head and tell them "JOIN OR ELSE!" but I mean there have been 766 views of the thread, there can't be 10 or 20 out of those people can join?

Was a fun event, however, was disappointed by the turn out. Half of the people who signed up didn't show . I guess a lot of people respect Tristan's opinion on the matter. Very disappointing and suprising. I know that some people can have work or are busy but there are definitely more than 14 who can compete.

Well, I remember hearing something a while ago about the difference of each side of limbs. I heard that if, for example, you're right handed, you can be more accurate with your right hand, however, it is your left hand which has less accuracy but actually, naturally contains more strength than your right. I heard that the same goes for legs as well. I don't entirely believe it but I guess I'll read up more on it

Thats the problem, there are no real books that properly give you guides on what to study specifically. All the books I've found were just exam books. I was told that KAPLAN comes with explanations to the answers so I'll probably be getting that. I'm really starting to panic about it so can you be a bit more specific?

Hi all! I've got a G25 recently and obviously, going nuts with the shifter . Anyway, since I was using a Sidewinder before where the brake pedal was very light, I'm not really used to the stiffness of the brake pedal of the G25 and then heel and toe makes it even harder since I lift my heel from the brake pedal so then I lose brake pressure because of some muscle strain. Anyway, anyone here know a good way to use my feet to do heel and toe efficiently whilst still having a strong amount of brake pressure?

I know some may say that I've posted in the wrong section but I think this applies to real life heel and toeing which I will be planning on doing soon (if it all works out )

Hi! I just wanted to know if someone here who has taken the SAT exams can give me some advice on a way to study for them? I'm going in for the SAT Reasoning Test on October 6th and I haven't properly started studying so any particular system to go by for the SAT? I've got around 6 books (CollegeBoard and Princeton Review) for both English and Maths but they're all tests which I will start practicing on but would anyone here have system for studying for this?

I've registered for Nov '07 as well but I'd like to get a nice high score on my first go too . Guess I'm a bit of a nerd in that way

Well, it was a cap actually

well, I'll do a random draw to be honest. I swear I'll be fair .


Random draw says...

Fern Bay Rallycross

sorry VTiRoj , I honestly placed 2 papers in a hat and pulled one out and it was FE Rallycross.

Only game I can think of is 1NSANE really. That game was CLASS!!!. Ever tried driving on the ice track? INSANE FUN! .

I might install it again actually
