My top 5:

1. LFS
2. FSX
3. Transport Tycoon
4. Hearts of Iron 2
5. Silent Hunter 3 + 4

Oh right we're in racing games/sims here. Mmm that makes it quite difficult, not the 1st place but the rest of it

1. LFS
2. RBR
3. Microprose GP series
4. GTR2 (because of the real tracks, although the physics kill the experience)
5. TDU (it's fun for 5 or 10 minutes)

If you buy through Internet you can find it for 197,47 Euro in Germany (without shipping costs, but they shouldn't exceed +/- 20€)

Great work. Gonna try it out right away.

Thanks for making such a great tool

Yeah without anything on it looks like all objects are "flickering" and with everything on you get a very smooth look. I can't even drive anymore without some AA etc... as it makes me nervous to look at alle the flickering.

Well good luck Strobe.
He surely is a nice addition to Dynamic, he has many talents

The FXO is too light for such a car (that Scawen said himself) and the tyres are to wide (but they can't be changed in a physics compatible patch) for such a car. So this car is getting more "realistic" performances.
For the weight: I used to have a similar car to the FXO (Opel Vectra A 2.0l) it's empty weight was 1250kg (FXO 1140 without penalties). Even if you say it's a Coupe so it's rather an Astra Coupe: the Astra Coupe also weighs more (almost 1200kg).
If making the sim more realistic means that sometimes some cars have to be slown down I'm totaly comfortable with that.

Quote from g7usl :

I am having the same problem too. I have joined and am registered.

Ain't that a Vickers VC10 you use as Avatar? Looks like a FS Version of it.

BTW.: You have to push "Join Season" on the left side.

At the beginning (in my first leagues) I used to push it to the limit nevertheless on which position I was. I even drove on the edge when I had over 10/20/etc seconds of advance.

Today I became more tactical, I just drive fast enough to fullfill my goals, when I'm in front I tray to control the race but not to do any crazy fast laptimes. I guess I'm getting old .

Well doesn't matter either way, as long as I can fullfill my goals

P.S. But I think the question should'nt be: "Does your psycological state change from race situation?" , it should be "Does you psycological state change your track behaviour?"

Is there any plans to program an hp right now? Would be kind of useful for PR and for keeping in touch with team members.

I also wish you all a happy summer break and good vacations

Quote from RIP2004 :

Well it differs a lot between different cars.

I drove a usual Opel Vectra A (Vauxhall) with about 90 HP before. And it was a bit less grippier, but I still had the impression of a bit better grip than in LFS.

...

I used to have a Vectra A (built 1990) it was tuned (not much just barely) 2.0l engine 4 cylindre 150 hp and with a sport kit (susp and exahaust etc) and I must admit it was the best gripping car that I used to have. Right now I'm driving a 2005 Seat Leon FR with 180 hp, 1.8l Turbo engine and though it's faster then the old Vectra I don't get this "gripping" sensation I had on the Opel. The Leon is reallly LFS like in some sort (it's more or less what I feel with the XFG although the car isn't as powerfull) and the old Vectra is more or less what the "old", unhandicapped FXO was, something like an Uebercar.

I fooled around back in the test patches with handicap and actually putting the right amount of handicap to the right pos in the car helped in the handling of the car (I'm talking about the RAC). It helped so much that the handicap actually became an advantage because I could drive faster through the corners (track was KY Nat).

Pool2
That was an awesome race for me. Started 2nd and defended this position at the start. At the end of lap 1 S-Core Rapozzza made a mistake in the last corner (or rather he didn't came through well) so that I reached his slipstream and outbrake him on the end of the straight. The next lap he pushed me and attacked on every occasion so that I had to drive in a defensive position mostly, but at the beginning of lap 3 he spun off in the braking zone of T1. That left me in front alone and from this point on I was in control of the race. Due to my offline experience (I never finished 1 race distance cause I always spun off at some point ) I knew that driving clean and finishing was more important then pulling out fancy laptimes, and I can't remember that I drove the chicane full throttle at any time in the race.
So I tried to drive as fast as it was needed but never tried to push it to the limit and that worked very well.
I'm really excited about this victory cause it's my first league race victory since a little over a year.
And what's also exciting is that I actually don't like the MRT5 at all but still was able to pull a good result and so I'm impatient to see if I can do better (div1 i.e.) with a car that I actually like.

I'd like to thanks all the other drivers in pool2, you raced very clean and also the guys that I overlapped were mostly very cautious.

Thank you all

Quote from CSU1 :

Manual clutch won't get you better times but what about when you get into trouble guy's?....if you find yourself struggling in low rev's, in that split second you can open the clutch a bit to get the revs and torque back up

You can drive autoclutch and still have the clutch assigned to your clutch pedal, so there shouldn't be any issue there.

I made the pitstop suggestion because there are some leagues that use a system like this: Compulsory pitstop enabled, pitting must happen between lap x and lap x2. Now after the race they have to mostly analyze the whole pitting of all the drivers manually. If it could be implemented into the program it would happen automatically and safe a lot of work for organizers who like to run such a system.

Hi,

First: I did a search and looked at the 'suggested improvement log' but didn't find exactly this thing.

So to the improvements: Limits would be a nice thing to add,as seen in real life motorsports.

I.e. you get a drive-through penalty for a false start/speeding in pits or what else. As it is now, you can wait until one of the last laps before you take that penalty.

In real life there is often a time/lap window when you take such a penalty (I think in formula 1 it's no later then 3 laps after the penalty is given). So my suggestion would be that you can set a limit for serving a penalty (serverside option).
Same thing for compulsory pitstops.
It would be an addition if you could set when you may pit earliest and when you may pit latest.

Skype takes a lot of bandwidth, may lead to lag's. So TS or Ventrilo is the better alternative

Grats UKCT you got 2 good drivers there. So what will they be in STCC, UKCT Green Team?

Just saw 18.30 UTC is 20.30 our time, that could be just after F1, so maybe I could make it. Still it will be a close call, but I'd really like to have a test run under real race conditions. Against AI it's just a mess and it's not a combo that is really commonly found online.

Arrrgh I'm gonna miss this one. (Formula 1)

I like this idea too. But how do you want to examine if someone has the stock set?

For me the nationality doesn`t play a role. Maybe because I`m also a member from a small "community". I like the "lion" (like Nigel Mansell or so ). So what I want to say is: I`d rather like the personaöities then the countries.

Wow 183 replies in just above 12 hours.

Anyway grats for the release (it rocks :headbang: )

Well I think you can`t compare virtual cars to real cars, you know we almost have endless time to make a setup for a car, so at the end we all could have a stable setup, even if a real world counterpart is a nervous one.

Well I hope you understand what I mean

I voted yes but I also think that some RL additions wouldn`t hurt. But at the end I also wouldn`t mind if we have fantasy cars/tracks cause it makes fun either way.
