Hmm, long way to go for me when i see tracktimes here. But i don't have a decent setup yet for this car. How fast can you guys go on default setups at BL1 and SO6?

Ooohhhh.. yep.. I just spotted that, yep teedot! Well done! LOL!

Yes, that word is in the filter.. whoever is called that, I'm thinking they'll have difficulty if they try to join the CTRA system with that name

It's a disese often used as swearword. Strange to pick that as a nickname.

Hi,

May be its dicussed already, but still I think damage should be greater. The thing is, that especialy in Fearn Bay there ar a lot of turns, which you can cut by going even on a gras and jumping a bit. So while racing, and making such small but hard jumps for smth like 12 or 15 times suspension should get a bit of damage, or atleast if you bump hard the tyre should blow. its stil a rubber so if you land on one or two wheels on a hard surface and the tyre pressure is not big enouth the tyre deformates and can easyly be cuted in by a metal rim.

Damage is ok. Maybe there should be more bumps in the grass.

Quote from mclarenmatt :

You would have to ask the dev's but i would think an LFS 2 would be more likely than S4 - you can only develop so much before you need a fresh(ish) start.

Still like i said this is one for the dev's, i don't wanna start any rumor's flying around!

What's in a name? LFS S2 is LFS 2. Just wait till it is finished and then compare S1 final with S2 final.

Maybe it's on other tracks to, but i discovered your car gets repaired when you drive into an out-of-bounds section on South City (including clutch and tires).

I'ts you. I'm just as entertained and slow as i was before with the new patch I allready got used to lifting the gas while shifting, it's not that hard and i noticed it's often enough when you just lift a little.

Wasn't there snow back then too? Or am i confusing LFS with an other game.

I saw this:

It's a button you can push with your feet. Maybe it could be used as clutch (only on/off button, so not analogue).

I can't really get used to the analog meter too, but who needs a speedometer in a racingcar anyway

If he'd stuck to playing drums in Brand X I would have no issue with him - he was very good at that, and I'm a big fan of Percy Jones. Unfortunately he decided to start singing and writing songs, which was unacceptable to the British people who have a proud pop music heritage. That is why we banished him to Switzerland.

You guys (and especially your media) seem to do that to more famous people. Your loss, Phil is a great singer and songwriter.

Quote from danowat :

Personally, I think the clutch heats up wayyy to quickly, but I digress.....

Maybe someone (a bit more knowledgable than me) could post some information of how and why the/a clutch would overheat (I know the basics, but I am just very suprised how easy/quickly the clutch overheats in LFS), and the best way (if any) to deal with an overheated clutch, and the best way to avoid it happening in the first place.

You drive differently in your normal roadcar. If you keep your foot on the gas changing rapidly through the gears you will burn your cludge too.
If you drive normaly there is no damage (i did notice a little when you drive away in the new formula BMW but i think that is normal and you only do that one or two times in a normal race).

Can't unlock it but blackwood in the new formula car looks great. The car is a little slower and easier then the fox i think. I have to get used to the new gear changing thing. No more flatout through the gears

but with autoclutch (don't have a third pedal) you can't damage the clutch that much (well, i did, but that was with constantly driving forward and backwards for a few times) so i don't think G25 users will have an advantage. When clutch is totaly damaged i think you're race is over (i could not drive the car anymore).

And repairs is an option now in pitstops

Quote from JasonJ :

I'm here, been up since 4am. Nice patch - FWIW - worked for me.

Can't seem to burn out my clutch though I'm really trying.

Try pulling away in first gear and revers a few times

I think it's a little busy with the new testpatch

Quote from driversbriefing :

My LFS is unable to connect to the master server, however I can ping it.

To ping the server:

-press 'Windows' + R
-type 'cmd' , press 'enter'
-type 'ping master.liveforspeed.net' press enter

My returns are about 48ms

I don't get any: Lost = 4 (100% loss)

Hope he didn't forget to backup his X version I'm copying mine now, i think i'll keep my x version even when Y is final.

Quote from mickyc30 :

can cracking do that sort of thing? i wouldnt do it anyway, its dis honost, like 3 people made the game didnt they? seriously who would steal from a 3 man project, i know its very succesfull and everything, but its only $55 or so aussie dollars so its not that much why would you bother stealing it? oh and btw i get S2 soon i think

Yes it can, because changes need to be made in the code. But i see the topicstarter is S2 licenced, so i'm probably wrong.

Quote from mickyc30 :

howdy fellas, well im in a bit of a dither, you see quite often the accelerator sticks on, and its impossible to drive (much easier backwards)
i have a replay, do u guys have any idea?

cheers michael

Do you use a wheel? I can't view the replay from here but it sounds like a problem with your pedals. Maybe some contact-spray fixes the problem.

Quote from flymike91 :

i think he was full of crap anyway

Or he used a crack that caused this. Never heard of this before.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

heck.. no idea, Try to make a vid?

Or a replay.

Very nice skin.

Maybe a port for the Nintendo Entertaintment System as well. I'm getting tired of Super Mario 3, Duckhunt and Ridgeracer

:laola: :wow:

Quote from TypeRCivic :

I've been licensed for almost 2 years, I think and I still see myself racing " BlackWood " I cant find out why I like it so much but I just do. Atleast your licensed and not a cracker.. Welcome aboard.

I still like Blackwood too. I'm curious what will be changed in the Patch Y Blackwood.

The short tracks on Fern Bay with the high kerbes are fun with the slower cars.

Quote from Hondulu :

No it wasn´t. A friend recommended it to me and i tried it out. I had never played a racing simulator before in my life. At first i really sucked and had no idea how to chose a good racingline or breakpoints but i got addicted and by watching good racers and recieving better setups from people i got pretty good after a while. So it´s thanks to guys that don´t have the screw you n00b attitude that i found this game great and play it to this day.

Also i played with keyboard in the beginning because i didn´t have a wheel but after a couple of months i bought a wheel. However if i wouldn´t have been able to race with the keyboard i never would have stuck with the game so i think your attitude against people that race without wheel sucks.

It´s good that a bigger crowd find LFS. The ones that´s used to Need For Speed or games like that will either like LFS or not. If they don´t, theyll quit playing and then what´s the problem? If they like it we´ll have a new fellow racer. LFS can attract people that aren´t already interested in racing simulation to this genre.

I also think a visible raceline could be a good help for starting racers. Maybe only offline, online with 32 cars a raceline is not realy usefull.

Quote from gp4racer :

I have a question, this tool is really great! You can see alot of configurations and options for tweak a car, but it means, IF I have a excelent set of dampers, springs , roll bars and so, this configuration can be used at any track?

I know, all the tracks are different, but I found with this program a nice way to get the correct suspension settings and my tyres are getting the optimun temperature with just one or two laps.

Then CAn I have an unique suspension setting for all the tracks and play with camber, aero, tyres for every single track?

Do you have a link? I would like to try it.

Quote from scania :

LFS was get the F1 lic because BMW want to have a game to help them to promot, but they changh to rFactor because of rF have Nurburing track but LFS have no real track.

So, do you think that BMW will give more car to LFS if LFS have a real track?

The way i understand it LFS has a deal with Fortec Motorsport and VI Championchip for the V1 car (wich is a BMW). So it's not like BMW gave them a car.
