What is the difference for an ingame electric car? Don't you have the same when you drive the current raceabout and turn of your speakers?

Quote from danowat :

I am not fussed about hotlaps going out of sync, but obvioulsy don't want to be refused entry to non test patch servers.......

Then don't install the testpatch, or make an other copy of your LFS install.

Testpatch of today looks great. I wunder what naming will be used after Patch Z

Quote from Hyperactive :

None of the updates on both tracks has made any difference on how the tracks feel or how I drive.

That's strange, because on blackwood not only kerbes are different but also the corner after the straight. It's sharper and the track is less wide there (also on some other parts). If you drive the same as before, you can't get trough that corner.

Quote :

Not that it isn't good to see the stuff getting updated but looking at how long it takes to get something done I wish all that time was spent into new content instead of refining the old. There are no significant improvements that I can see. It will be interesting to see the Westhill stuff though. There doesn't seem to be any old roads to use as "new" configs so we may actually get something that is actually new! But as it is the westhill I have quite low expectation of it being fun, challenging or much different...

And if anything it is a total mystery how people can get so hyped up about simple cockpit updates? They basically change nothing else but how the cars look. For me cockpit updates are the small things on patches, kinda like nice to see that those have been updated too, kinda like in a "nice touch"-way.

Where is the essential stuff? Stuff that makes LFS go forward, progress?

I think you expect to much out of it. The new testpatch (Y30 has lots of graphica changes compared to Y). The essential stuff is what you allready have, not an extra track that may or may not be added to S2 (I think that if there are extra tracks in development they will be part of S3 if development will continue after S2 final).

I use them, they are reliable (much more then wireless) for gaming (even when you turn on your dishwasher or vacuum cleaner) but it isn't fast in my home. The homeplugs think they can comunicate with each other at 40 mbps (out of the 85, but with 40 i would be very happy) but i can only get 5 mbps out of it when i transfer data over it. But i don't really care about that, it's reliable and better then UTP cables lieing in my home.

Quote from BAMBO :

What I meant was that an MRT can only beat other cars on Autocross tracks. Put it on any other track with another car and it would loose badly.......excepting the UF1, that thing is slow.

Eh, check FE1. It's faster then: XFG, XRG, XRT, RB4, FXO, LX4 and LX6, UF1, RAC and FZ5. But why would you want to race it against an other car? It's a class of its own.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

The problem with Hamilton is the press building him up and making him into someone he aint. In Britain (cant speak for any other country) we have a great habbit of building a sportsperson up, only to knock them down again as soon as the media can. It's the same with Beckham/Terry/Button(there's never any Scots I can think of, we are that bad ), but as soon as they are proclaimed to be the next best thing, we start hating them.

IMO, Hamilton seems to be arrogant and cocky, and some may say "well thats what you need to be to be a winner", I can see the point however it can get confussed with self belief. There is a fine line between arrogance and self belief, and I think Lewis is starting to listen to the hype, and getting arrogant...the final straw was the inability to accept blame for the crash in Canada.

And not only sports. Also some British popartists have left the island because of the media.

And for the attitude. You can't be the nicest guy on the track and a champignon. Schumacher wasn't a nice guy too for most of his career. But he was a great driver and a winner, and i think so will be Hamilton.

Quote from anttt69 :

lol how much? Im gona wait for the free demo, I dont care if it takes years (or they never release a demo) im not paying their silly prices.

If they don't get enough customers they will change their pricing/demo options but for now that doesn't seem to be the plan.

Overhyped yes. But he is a good driver, he just has to learn a lot for what he hasn't had a chance last season.

Quote from scania :

but time race is harder to count the fuel....

No it's not. If you practise you know your laptimes, compare that to the world record laptimes and you will see the difference in 1 hour won't be that many laps (it's probably the same even when your way slower) so you know how much fuel to carry.

Quote from George Kuyumji :

Hi!

I still have invites left for the small scaled release next week. The Public Release will be in a couple of months, if you want to join now already you can sign up for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or a year. Credit card required.

Read about it before you join, its not a finished Sim and never will be, its in constant development and will be so for years. It's kind of like a LFS S1

New Website is up:

www.iracing.com

Cheers
George

A game in development with a montlly fee and an extra 15/20 dollar a track. That was not what LFS S1 was about

By the way, your avatar shouldn't be allowed. Your not allowed to share accounts.

Busted!

[edit]BTW. I don't think it looks strange (if you don't look at my bad paintskills ) You see more in front of you and you don't have the big right sidewindow. Maybe you will even see a little of the left mirror.

Can't you move the second option more to the right (so the wheel comes on the left side of the second monitor).

What do need that many licenses for?

Quote from Heiko1 :

Hey guys if i drove in FBM on FE Club i saw that:

The line is not under the its a bit in the car or over the car.

What is the bug? Race line is projected over the road, it's not in road texture.

Quote from SamH :

http://www.raceauthority.com/gt2_fjr.asp This page shows the restrictions. Points allocation info is not available

Thanks. But there is no TBO class there

Quote from Dru :

i remember they changed it to the FXO as everyone was getting this car on Race 2 and beating each other hands down (altohugh it did not get the multiplier that the XRT and RB4 got) but since all that is now gone (TBO class balancing etc) there are no longer multipliers working on CTRA points system.

How does that balancing work? Can you find handicaps that car's have on the CTRA website?

Quote from senn :

lol half u guys have only joined in the last year or two and you're bitching about the pace of development lol. call me when you've been watching for almost 7 years.(or developing *waves to devs*)
However, i agree, it's starting to feel like LFS is getting a bit stale, its's still freaking awesome, but yeah time for some major changes again *shrug*

Since when is it a rule that you can only dream about future improvements after seven years of usage?

BTW, you can't see when people first played Live for Speed. Take me for example, i first played this game in August 2002, but you can't see that since there was no forum or LFS World in the old days.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

It will be exactly the same, except the FZ5 will have a small bug fixed which no one noticed in the first place.

What bug? Or haven't you noticed as wel?

I don't expect LFS to look that different in two years. If it does then S3 development has started somewhere and we will be playing S3 0.1A Alpha.

It will be finetuned. Tires of roadcars will start with colder temperatures, GTR's will have GTR interiors and big damages will slow you down more.

Quote from WizardHat :

Pretty sure this happens because you can't make setup changes to a damaged car.

Not quite sure on that though.

Eh, wich is it?

I haven't been on CTRA servers for a while, but as i remember for Pick-Up-Racing they have good standards (better then average for such crowded servers).

I think it's not more then logical a system for what you have to pay with organized races and a live steward has higher standards. Almost every other organized (free) league has that too.

Really cool video.

It's great, it has a typical German sound (very commercial but i like it )

[edit]Listened to that other Turbo B material on the site, it sounds great too. (now i see he is the frontman of SNAP, very cool. Does he play LFS too? )

At last.... a discussion :banana:

(devil's advocate)

Wel, there is a discussion, but as a read it we all agree (except for you )

Just say <<insert name>> handles that kind of stuff. Then shout that name and lay down the phone. Because they think <<insert name>> is on it's way to the phone they have to wait.
