i was in a forum about gaming (cannot remember the name of it) and someone mentioned live for speed, i started laughing coz i thought they meant to say need for speed, boy i felt stupid when i checked the link he gave :P

i remember downloading the old 0.3 version and then deleting it because it was way too hard to control( i was using keyboard), then a year or two later my mate came over and told me to try live for speed with a steering wheel.
i was like, but its impossible to drive! so i went and installed s1 demo on my brothers pc because he had the steering wheel(logitech formula force GP).
After that we both had competitions on who could go sideways for longest, and master car control in the XRT on the skid pad and carpark . it was so much fun i just kept playing it from then on, and i decided to wait until s2 came out before i bought it, so i did, and the rest is history.

so yeah thats how i got hooked.

yes i sure did, it says you still think he was using your skin, but it doesnt make any sense, and you dont care about it anymore.

You can order directly from their website, act-labs.com, they'll ship worldwide. I just got the GPL shifter from them a couple of weeks ago.

oh ok, thanks

Quote from Cutter :

As a early buyer of these pedals, I cannot recommend them enough.

Accurate, strong and reliable.

I saw an UF1 so i could make friends

these things really helped me drive better...

• refrain from using full throttle in corners(half is good)
  
• make small adjustments/movements in the steering so as not to upset the car
  
• do the driver training at least once(obvious i know)
  
• learn proper racing lines
  
• watch for other cars in your blind spots before changing track position
  
• keep an eye on what gear you use in each corner and memorise
  
• after driving in the dirt, check map before entering track again

thats all i can think of atm

good luck man

its a good idea

ROFL :chairfall :monkey:

australia...

city of perth to be exact

i cant remember the link to it but theres a world map for LFS with heaps of peoples locations.

works similar to google earth, but 2d webpage instead.

can someone provide linkage?

i enjoyed the racing action and gave you 4 out of 5 because at times it was really dark and hard to see.
next video you should maybe adjust the brightness in adobe premiere or whatever program you use.

hope that helps

Quote from zeugnimod :

From those 3 cars, none is really underrated, so I chose the one, thats most fun: XFR.

In general, I would say, the MRT by far. I guess, after the OLFSL race, it will again disappear completetely from the servers.

i totally agree with your post,
i also chose the xfr for the same reason

thats soo cool
i was really impressed

was it planned or just an accident?

kool!
scawen has a great setup!

what about eric and victor?

i wanna know what steering wheels, pedals and other LFS related hardware the devs use when making this fine game?

because i have a hunger for knowledge

so come on scavier, tell us your setup please.

p.s. i use a driving force pro made by logitech

good work on the vid man

i thoroughly enjoyed it

+1 from me

Quote from deggis :

Still waiting for some kind of "Microsoft Car Simulator" with a completely free world.

i second that

i was in one of those servers the other day, i kept flying over the barriers and out of the level

great vid btw,

impressive vid

makes me wanna install adobe premiere and crank some racing vids out

hilarious vid
thanks for sharing

very nicely done!
