Why everybody is dislike arab drift.

we are all players of LFS and we should be proud to be community and support each others who are playing the game as well and working hard to make good video for others to enjoy

why is everybody saying bad things about the video???

please im tired of the bad comment no more.

The style may be different but personaly its what im used to.

I have clips of him viktoor drifting around corners more sideways than anybody on these fourms calling him bad things. Except I dont wanna waste time making a video when everybody will not apprecheate it.

Viktoor is playing lfs 2004-20??

Hater$ dont hate Ju$t relate

People don't like "arab drifting" because it's stupid. It's just a bunch of stupid kids driving their parents' cars like maniacs. There's no skill involved, period. The one saving grace of it is that they often crash hard into walls while wearing no seatbelts- thus, removing themselves from a society that they're hurting.

-1. It's not worth doing anything about. Just memorize the value, learn the conversion rate, or just use the metric system.

Firstly, there's a drift setup thread at the top of the page. For someone who's been around for nearly a year and has eyes... come on

Secondly, it seems that you're dealing with a skill problem, not a set problem. You could likely solve your problem with some setup changes, but that'd just mask the real issue and probably mess up what works now.

Quote from Mrwei :In Y version..My favourite car FXO confused me so much ...The front tires are so easy to be overheated....And can we setup a right SET to ease the overheat???

You have to drive smoother. Be sure to blip the throttle on downshifts and increase the pressures of the front tires.

Quote from jarmenia :I want to beat them by driving better so I can start racing online. Until I can beat the AI, there's no point in going online since I'll only get killed and cause people to wreck.

Slow drivers generally don't cause wrecks. Stupid drivers cause wrecks.

If you're the former but not the latter, you should have few problems.

Meh, car accidents are nothing compared to motorcycle racing accidents. Not saying that the guy wasn't shaken or completely safe, but this is really pretty minor stuff by comparison.

Quote from markorester :i have a problem:
i download some drift setups from this thread, save it in D:/LFSs2_Y/data/settings/, but i can't find them in LFS game!
please help me!

C:\Program Files\LFS\data\setups

I'm nearly positive that the sets go there after patch Y. The folder that you posted is where sets were saved prior to patch Y.

Also be sure that the setup file has the proper prefix. For XRT it'd be "XRT_nameOfSetup.set"

Quote from Riders Motion :I'm not a really good racer and I tend to easilly burn my front tires so I use normals to front which keeps me from heating them too fast.

That's where the idea of using normal tires becomes less of a tire-life issue and more of a crutch for poor driving, no offense.

I'm pretty sure that, in the vast majority of cases, the benefits of the increased grip of super tires will outweigh the longer life of normal tires- even including pit stops.

Quote from Riders Motion :I personally use positive camber on FZ5. What's important is the live camber, not the camber from the slider. Look for yourself, positive slider camber isn't necessary positive live camber.

I was guaging this by tire wear from F9 and the rather obvious sign of the tires leaning outward.

Sorry about that, I should've specified that the live camber was positive, not just in the setting.

Quote from l3ang :I'de like to see you take any car that is tuned for racing on the track in real life and try drifting with it.

It's what I do in LFS. Granted, it's not the best setup but a good setup will not need much tweaking to make it "driftable." For me, I just turned down the negative camber to even out the tire wear and it's a MUCH better drift setup than what I see most drifters use.

Now to why I came to this thread in the first place. Whenever I go drifting in LFS, I see a LOT of drifters using positive camber in the rear. Some of them even try to defend it saying it actually gives more traction than negative camber! So are the settings that drifters are using so bad that positive camber is the only way to get the car sideways or are the people with positive camber just stupid?

Quote from klingon :I am serious they have blocked everything including but not limited to google images , yahoo images, newegg.com, all forums, all educational sites, some news sites, microsoft word, microsoft paint, everything that is a proram. This is unbelievable they even blocked texas instraments website, please give your opinion.

Censorship? HAHAHAHAHAHAA. You're using their computers and their internet connection, they can do what they want with it and you'll just have to deal. It just sounds like they just went overboard on the blocked sites list.

Why does it matter, anyway? You should be doing schoolwork at school, not surfing the web.

This isn't new, by the way. Let me know when your ISP starts doing stuff like this, that'll be news.

If you have problems with burning up the clutch in any car, you are simply a bad driver.

While I do think that the clutch burns a little too easily, I also think that constant poor shifting during a "45lap lague race" will lead to clutch failure.

Edit: I'd like to mention that I really like the fact that the current clutch system really hurts those who can't shift properly.

Quote from MOSTWANTEDM3 :You are absolutely wrong, neon under-glow offers a kit that will give you 5-hp depending on the type of vehicle you install it on. Civics generally make 10 more hp due to their power being directly over the front wheels. That’s why all of those cars in the movies have mad neon because they are gangster-fast! We heard that pink gives the most horsepower (as sales of pink neon kits skyrocket).



What nub would say such a thing ...... why do people think neons give power ....

TOTALLY AGREED! That guy has no idea what he's talking about. Everyone who's anyone knows that blue neons mean more speed!

Quote from Marcus56 :I LOVE car racing simulations, it's THE BEST FUN, LFS has the best race cars, tracks and physics i'v ever seen, (it tested ones ability in car racing). I'v been playing car racing simulations for many years and LFS is the best of the bunch. The fastest driver with the best times is "A WINNER", but now LFS has changed the rules of play (moved the goal post to where ever THEY put them and still play the game?), NO PEOPLE. the only thing i have to say is "change the the rules in the middle of the game and lose the PAYING CUSTOMER" it's not a good way to do business people, at any time. The player pays REAL MONEY to play this game, but no, to play this game you have to play by the rules that are set by the people who receive your money. Isn't the customer always right?. Players/Customers enjoys doing the best they can, or is it, you can play the game and if the rules change you still have to "PAY TO PLAY!", WELL NO. WE CAN SAY NO PEOPLE, and watch the game and it's programmers go down in history. Since the latest patch "Y" the game has gone down from about 3 pages of occupied servers to about half a page of occupied servers. that's about a 75% LOSS IN BUSINESS, way to go LFS, so is that the way you send a business down the tube?. Many people have spent a grate deal of time and money trying to be the best (IN THE WORLD) only to have the programmers change the rules and wipe all records of their achievements for no more $$$$. So is it? (PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR MONEY AND THE LAST YEAR OR SO TRYING TO GET A WORLD RECORD, WE JUST CHANGED THE RULES FOR THE GLIMMER OF THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR FOR HERE AND NOW)

Am I the only one finding it hard to pinpoint Marcus56's point in all of this?

If you can live without the H-pattern shifter and a clutch pedal, get the DFP.

Don't buy the DFP then save for the G25, just get the G25 if that's the path you want to go down.

Quote from drifter92 :no it doesnt thats just stereotism

What the hell is a sterotism? Do you mean stereotype?

For the record, I'm not making a judgement on the character or capabilities of anybody by not including them in my definition of "American." Any sense of superiority is purely based on unequal distribution of resources. If anything, I think Americans are getting weaker and weaker and could prove to be weaker when the playing field is leveled.

edit:
You said "im not white so i dont care" when talking about the bad rap that you're giving Americans.

Quote from drifter92 :americans arent only people from the US,Mexicans,central americans, and south americans r Americans too so u GTFO.

Sorry, but the term "American" refers almost exclusively to a citizen of the United States of America in English as well as every other language that I've encountered.

Yep, there's a lot of anti-American sentiment about and people like you cause it.

Don't tell me that somebody isn't American because they're not white. Do you even know who Barack Obama is? I strongly suggest that you lose that idiotic attitude or GTFO, thanks.

Quote from jonny__27 :
There i tried to do something i have been trying for some time, which is racing on drift conditions as fast as i can, and i want to know your opinion about the best time i made on Fern Bay (Green circuit, i think) with my XRG.

The red dots are the curves where i used the e-brake to drift.
The green dots are the curves where i did some small oversteering.
I gripped on the rest of the track.

It's somewhat difficult to form an opinion given that you were trying to "race drift," which I assume to mean that you were sliding into the corner. That method is not only slower, but also hell for your tires. Dramatically induced oversteer should only be used on the smallest and slowest corners.

Keep the rear tires in line with the front (or close to it) and you'll get much faster. Thumbs up

Quote from Riders Motion :Formula D CAN'T suck. It's actually the highest level of drifting in North America. Drifters pro US Pro-AM, West Drift Series and DMCC are hardly doing Formula D because of the level of competition. It's like if you were saying D1GP sucks, which is totally false. It's just a bit sad to see some rich kids like Nick Hogan being in Nopi Drift (which we will say is between Intermediate and Pro) when some much better drifters are stuck in the amateur series for monetary reasons. And even though drifting is cheap, it's still damn expensive because mainly of tires but also the high risk of scrapping your car. And yes I would say that Formula D is the prestigious stuff in here because you won't find such a combination apart from in Japan where they drift for 15 years +.

It can and does.
-TV coverage sucks
-There's a lot of politics that are screwing it up.
-Big names from other motorsports are taking rides away from skilled drivers. Not to mention the fact that some of them bring a bad attitude to drifting.

Quote from lizardfolk :Why did they name it "formula" drift? Why can't it be something like US GT Drift.

When I first saw the name I automatically thought there was formula cars involved LOL

Formula drift is more "catchy." Americans will go with a catchy name over one that actually makes sense.

Quote from Gimpster :Touge is not just about drifting. Nore is only run in a run/chase format. Touge is a personal battle between drivers, nothing more. It started in the mountians of Japan when one driver would not allow another to pass. These battles have evolved since then and are run up-hill, down-hill, and roads that do go up and down, on both narrow and wider roads, twisty or more straight. Touge drivers use every style of driving when approate, its all about winning the race, so they drift where drift is faster and grip where grip is faster.

Touge is nothing more then a personal battle between two drivers, nothing more.



Touge translates roughly to mountain pass. You need to stop watching Initial D.
