Quote from Alan Dove :

I reckon if I said 'night follows day' you would still find some way to argue with me...

All i started of with was a tongue in cheek comment about what the devs have done and my previous posting suggesting something like this should be done and you all go of your nut!

come on!!!!! Why turn this into a flaming topic, when clearly the devs have actually put some proper time and effort in to providing some of you miserable lot a chance to win some cool prizes!!!

Have some respect! Well done devs! Keep it up!

Oh right! see I couldn't help notice you were arguing with the other users there, my bad :rolleyes:

LOL! , spot on there Deko

I'll say this in the most appropriate way possible that I can think of...

FFS! why do you care SO much about who got the idea? just be grateful that, not only are the devs giving us a chance to get some really nice prizes, this should also should help making the LXs more popular.

If I were any of you, I'd leave all this childish and immature arguing and get practicing in the LX4 because trust me, with a competition like this one, you're REALLY gonna need to practice. As for me, you may think I'm being a hypocrit, well, I'm not, I'm loading up LFS now for some practice.

Actually, wait, sorry, keep on arguing, you're giving me a better chance of winning .

Niko and funnybone, while you two are busy fighting away, I'll be driving to victory .

Definitely interested in this! .

yeah! you're right there. No one ever races LXs or hardly anyway. This'll boost up the interest again . That G25 is MINE! MINE MINE!!!

Yeah I'm sure you have raced him sometime, you probably can't remember where due to him being so far out in front

Nah, don't worry m8, Sully's satisfied . Kate's turn now! .

Just tell her one thing, can she handle the Leprekaun? because I can be too much for most gals .

Love the nutter ginger bread man! .

Hi all! I didn't know where to put this because its a request so please excuse me if I placed it in the wrong forum. Ok, well, I was thinking last night about the whole live settings thing that are in F1 cars these days (TC setting, brake bias[which we already have], ARB[already have], differential setting, rev limit setting and finally, engine brake setting). I may have missed some as well but I haven't read too much into what the driver can change whilst driving.

Anyway, some of you may think that this isn't very important but when you do long distance races, just like the real thing, I found if I shift at lets say, the 2nd light in the BF1, I can almost cut the amount of fuel I use per lap normally by 50% (seriously ) so I was thinking that it would be very handy to have a rev limiter setting to be able to use less fuel, thus being able to race a lighter car. TC setting is also something I would like to be able to adjust as the race stretches on. When I first start the race, the car can be heavy and slippy at the back so I'd use a bit more TC than usual then I would like to be able to use less (altho, does depend on the state of the rear tyres) TC as the car gets lighter and isn't as slippy at the back.

As for the engine braking and differential, well, I don't understand much with those settings as I am really a bit of a setup n00b but I am learning. I just think it would be really cool and REALLY handy to be able to change these settings whilst racing instead of having to compromise the setup to suit the car for the start of the race or for the last stint.

Congratulations DR! . STROBE is a familiar name altho don't remember when we raced

nah nah, thats amateur stuff there lads. Sixsome is da shizzle . I'll satisfy your gal james .

im not feeling sorry for myself! im just tryna make you guys HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! Nice one Tarek...! and garph...im sure your enjoying every moment of this

See that Harjun? now I feel my insults are justified :mad:. You know what I said on MSN, you're just pushing me more and more to the edge. This isn't the first time you've done it and tbh, I don't expect it to be the last either.

Harjun, you're the biggest p|l|onker,t|w|a|t,a|s|s|h|o|l|e I've ever met. I have more arsenal than that but I'll leave it at that.

Sorry man but you asked for it. Not very clever to make a thread like this.

Always impressive to watch Senna drive . Been my role model ever since I was a wee lad and I just learn from him more and more everytime I see him drive. His throttle technique, the constant dabbing instead of modulation is really interesting. I don't quite understand the principle behind it, is it something to do with getting the power out early?. That vid doesn't really show what he actually does very well. From what I read and heard, he keeps dabbing the throttle like that but in a gradual manner where each time he keeps dabbing it, he doesn't take his foot off the throttle as much as the last dab till he reaches full pedal travel and keeps it in.

no need for sarcasm Android, I already have apologised.

Well m8, have to say, don't ever just "assume" everything is ok. I hope you get well but make it a lesson so that you check that everything is ok and there is no risk of danger.

My apologies , I have a reputation of not using the search function

Oh and plz no pointless posting

This is something that has puzzled me for some time. I've noticed that a lot of racers don't appreciate drifters and vice versa. I mean, sure, when you're on a server to race and someone comes along to drift, you can just ask them nicely to stop drifting and if they don't, you know the rest . IMO, I appreciate high quality driving. For example, the Keiichi Tsuchiya Drift Bible, I'm amazed at what the "Drift King" can do! he's really really good! . So, what I'm saying is, why can't racers appreciate the skill to drift and vice versa?

I for one, appreciate the art of drifting, same way as I appreciate those who know how to drive a car fast and consistently. I'm more of a racer than a drifter but I do like to drift from time to time.

Well, I'm no GTR expert, I tend to enjoy and much better in the single seaters but I've had many nights of racing at AS National, GTRs. First corner, I generally brake between 60-50 meters and then bring the car right to the apex whilst on the brakes and bring it down to about 165-170 KMH then I just start straightening the wheel (according to how edgy the setup is, different amounts of lock used) and maximum throttle.

As for the final chicane, it is very tricky indeed but I think the quickest way through is to try and use as less steering lock as possible, basically trying to search for the perfect straight line to go through the whole chicane. I like to setup the car to get the left side (perhaps right side wheels too) all on the inside kerb for the first part then just straighten the car up for the exit. I'm no real GTR expert and there are those who can go between 0.5-1 and sometimes 2 seconds faster than me but I am pretty proud of my FZR speed (PB: 1:41.08). I'm ok in the other 2 but I just need to practice more with them.

Hope I helped

are you sure you put the setup from Setupfield in your LFS/data/settings or maybe you placed it in another area in /data/settings somewhere else thats not related to LFS. If it still doesn't work, then I don't know.

As for the sets that people send you, you need to bring up the connection list by pressing N till you a list on the bottom right of your screen then click the green S and then it'll bring up a window asking what would you like to name your setup (for easy reference, just name it to the track and then add an underscore after you entered the track name then write the name of the guy who made it or better, write down the best time you saw he got with it (e.g. BL1_Lep or BL1_12021 [being 1:20.21]).

Hope I helped

When you don't find a setup on Inferno for a particular track, usually, going with a Blackwood GP or Aston Club set is a good choice to try and then just slightly modify it to the track you're racing at (gear ratios, differential, etc.).

Well, tbh, telling you what happens to me is a bit of a disadvantage to me, isn't it? . We all get nervous from time to time, its normal, only experience will help calm the nerves down bit by bit. There was a time when I used to be really ice cool, I just knew where all the drivers were who were near me and was thinking with a really clear head on passing the guy in front, it was great.
I felt invincible .

Now, unfortunately, they've come back again. I know this sounds a bit big headed when I say this but I think its because of the fact that when I'm usually racing, I can be between 1-2 seconds faster than everyone else so I tend to pull away and drive a lone race so because of this, I've never had any real proper racing over the past few months (altho there can be the odd occassion ) so start racing in competitive leagues (OWRL, OLFSL, ESL) to make yourself practice harder to get quicker and also you'll find the competition is very tight in those leagues so theres bound to be lots of close racing.

Well, I'm 1/2 Irish but I'm bloody proud of that 1/2 of my heritage .

Lepre - Letterkenny, Co. Donegal

kaun - Cairo, Egypt

So there you have it . Wish there was some sort of way to split the "e" so that it doesn't seem like I'm biased . So, I decided to make a picture to make it a fair 50% split between each .

Possibly but tbh, I'd say that yeah, perhaps its something to help enhance the fuel to be more efficient but also, could be a straight up sabotage as well. We will never know but if I were being honest, as much of a red man as I am, I just think McLaren are doing very well and they've improved on their car over the past few Grand Prix so Ferrari not doing well is just down to the mechanics and car designers, just not really doing their job on improving the car.

Quote from Widdowmaker :

CAll me selfish - but it takes time to keep up on this forum, it takes balls to post an opinion on this forum, and if someones gonna come in, who I know is a damn fast racer, has damn loads of potential to be one of the fastest racers in LFS, but cant be bothered, or just doesnt care about the main forum for what the game is about. Come on man - sort your self out, and get with the program....

Well, Widdow, thing is, I have something odd called a "life". I don't waste hours and hours of my day just reading forums. I like to get straight to the racing when it comes to LFS and if I feel that something could be changed or improved or an important topic that I see, I either make a new thread or post in a topic which is mainly why this forum was designed, to help the devs improve the simulator.

Simple really, I just don't want to waste hours and hours of my time to read a load of c*ap most of the time (not ALL the time but most ).
