4.6

I switched to an analog pad and I'm still very slow! can't go bellow 57 dry and 1 01 wet.

The lag between the pad input and the right/left leaning while being logical is disturbing. I can't take clean trajectories, the bike keeps wobbling!

But well it's not as if I was quick in any other sim anyway.

Hopefully they will fail at building a sufficient community to pay their bill and will change their princing policy.

The size of the community is an important factor in one's decision to subscribe to such a game. With a game like LFS the community increase continuously since nobody really gets out. You can always put the game aside and come back later.

Here, even if there's enough potential players ready to pay the price, they probably won't get in at the same time and will all experience a game with a too small community to be interesting. Eventually they'll get out leaving the game as a "month trial and goodbye"!

And well, let's face it, if the online part is not satisfying for this reason at least, this game is going to be hacked to death for its solo part.

I guess the people who built this made a big joke. (in the FAQ they refer to pratchet) and I find it pretty fun.

Some participant play the game and some uber moron just bought it and started to defend the idea with their life!

I can't manage to lift the front wheel!

I only tried a cross once and it was pretty easy to do ( too easy and quite dangerous actually )

Has someone been able to do it or maybe it is normal with such a bike

I really liked it. I played with a wheel.

The grass is still forgiving and I have no idea if it's realistic but it's pretty fun.

I look forward to see how this game will progress

I'm not a biker but doesn't the bike lean from one side to the other a little bit too fast?

Quote from Gekkibi :

Then we should have bunch of other cars not used to race (LFS is a RACING simulator, after all...). Carbage-truck cup, anyone?

Well considering that you can find Bus race out there I guess you'll always find people nuts enough to race anything, from a supermarket kart to a rocket propelled wheel chair!

Quote from Gekkibi :

LFS tries to simulate real racing, and have you ever seen race where were Bugatti Veyron's? Nope, because they are too expensive for racing-purposes.

Because monster cars have wheels, seatbelts, engines etc etc, should they be included to a racing simulator? How about fire-trucks?

Who cares if they are too expensive for racing? This is a game.
Even if nobodies race it IRL (well there's not enough of them to make a race anyway), it is still physically possible and actually physics are the only boundaries of a simulation. Not real life behaviors.
BTW that part of the interest of a simulation. You can also do things too dangerous or too expensive to be done IRL.

Well I'm not for the Veyron but only because it's full of electronics craps that would make it far too difficult to be simulated properly. We'd probably end up with a terrible result.

It's nice to hear that they gave up the supermarket kart physics for the driving and jump to something a little bit more interesting.

I might give it a try when it will be available on PC

RAC and FZ50 lost their coffin on wheels qualities with patch Y.

Now they are as easy to drive around as any other RWD.

The sky's already full of bombers! No need for more!



For the sake of international communication:

"Apprendre à chier sur les pietons" = " Learning to poo on pedestrian"
"En 12 leçons seulement" = "With 12 lessons only"

I'd love to have the Ghost House track from the first mario kart in LFS
I

Yep I went to a strip club there

Quote from harjun :

i think the minimum PC requirements on LFS.net need to be updated, because with that you get around 10fps single player, i dont wanna know what its like full grid...

1 GHz CPU, 128 MB memory, 3D graphics card
Thats minimum requirement

should be something like:
2Ghz+ CPU, 512MB memory, Uptodate graphics card

I use a Tbird 1.4 ghz + Radeon 9600 pro + 512 mo ram

The game work just fine in single player with less than 5 AI
and online with approximately less than 10 people.

It's still payable if I go beyond that but the start of the race is hazardous.

Thanks

I checked before wrinting my post

Weirdly I received the birthday message on the email adress I input on my account when I bought the game. I changed my account email a long time ago but it seems the website is still using the first one!

It helps keeping the suggestions inside a limited space.

If they close the improvement suggestions, people will just start posting them everywhere in the forum.

Plus i'm not as sure as you about the Devs not taking some suggestion into account. Even if it's 3 % of all the suggestions made it's still worth having such a forum.

for a month but I haven't played LFS for at least 2 weeks (no time for videogames unfortunately)

As it will probably never be recognized by the UN (Russia and probably China will use their veto to prevent it) it's hard to call it a country.

It's pretty much a Nato recognition which represents what? 1/4 of the world? It's a good deal for NATO as they will be able to put military bases in this region. From my point of view it's the main goal of this joke.

I wonder what would happen if one day in the future the world (understand NATO) was to busy with something else to protect the Kosovo. It might become nasty around there! Well it wouldn't be something new in the Balkan!

Quote from atlantian :

my friend who is a die-hard sony and polyphony fan says that LFS is "tail-happy like GTA" when i got a chance to make him demo it... he thinks that GT5 is still the ultimate simulator... he can't turn away now anyways, he spent a great deal of money on GT games and the PS3

I think that in such a case the only solution left is euthanasia
Take him to the closest veterinary

A tongue joystick
With such training your girlfriend must be very happy

If you need LFS so badly and can't propel your ass fast enough to get it you might want to get the money from here: http://www.wewantyoursoul.com/

I always felt it was on its way!
Eric can't clone himself.

I only hope Fernbay is the next track on their list

the games is called live for SPEED not live for slowness :P

Good comment
For your information speed is a name, slow an adjective.
