hm,... ok from that view.

i've always thought balanced meant sth like equal in all means necessary.
so i was pretty P****d when i saw the fzr performance on the oval.

about balancing cars, imo the 3 gtr cars aren't that balanced cause the fzr has a higher power output than the other 2.

for example try to break 0:39.xx on the Kyoto_oval with the xrr, or the fxr.

mybee caused by my low-expierence or by the v6 in the fzr, i could not compete against it, using one of the other two
am i completely wrong or does someone actually agree to that?

it's pretty much like the "highlander" hook "there can only be one" or sth. like that, i've never seen the engl. original.

nope it's not, cause sometimes the loading of Lfs takes bloody ages on my comp too.
then when it's finished, and the main menu is beeing shown everything is ok and fine again.
but till then the generation of one frame can be watched, and it takes about 1sec to build up 1 (in words ONE) second.

its reproduceable, with one instance of lfs (where u park on the track) in the background, and in foreground watch an overlay-based video.

don't know if it's lfs-fault or my vid-board.
but annoying and strange too cause when this happens (even in menu) the cpu-time for lfs's tread reaches near 98%...
so i feel remembered to the old amiga-times when it was the normalest thing in this world to have slow-graphics in certain apps...

ok ran the 2 vids on 3 diff machines, with some of the players listed.
and guess what, it's all the same...

hm, so u say it's a players glitch...
will test it with vlc,bsplayer,mplayerc,zoom,wmplayer
on 3 diff machines...

nice videos,

but one thing still annoy me, it's the lag, or delay between actual movements on wheel and shifter seq/h and the sounds/images produced...
the delay on mouse/keys isn't noticeable (for me) and the delay in the videos is fairly huge compared to non-wheel equipment

and still how much time/money did u spend on this?

u can also watch your external hdd while track changes, if it's not restarting due to power conservation, then it's maybee to small interconntion datarates of your (usb?) hdd to computer hook-up method.

take usb 1.0 for example, lousy datarates possible.
so if your drive-led is just shining and suddenly stoppes to shine and at the same time the next song starts, it's just transmitting the new song to your pc...

"...and some will even completely ignore yellow flags. IMO repeated aggresive overtaking under yellow flags should result in a kick/ban..."


well to be honest i've never seen any public race at wich yellow flag was respected in a way that drivers didn't overtake others.
mostly these yellow flags where due to crashes alone or caused by another car.

maybee i'm completely wrong and one of these "bloody dangerous" people, but i don't feel any pitty for anyone playing "rotor" with his/her car, if it's his/her OWN fault, so i just pass 'em IF the situation is clear AND i can project and follow my trajectory safely.
otherwise i lift the gas, or brake...

mostly i'm trying to avoid ANY means ALL damage to my car (except tyres) cause i don't like to race an "un-straight" car.

so far so good i think.

EY, i wan't my soul back, fuzz...

much better happened to me half an hour ago...
oval, 7 restarts, then nice times, drove to first, well distributed race, and then, tracks empty...
All in their boxes, for repairs. (all after another, within 2-4 mins i guess)
(so i took advantage for fuelling down, had too much at start), left for the ride home.
Waited for some fzr (wich isn't a thread as f08) to give windshadow, was hit by som other f08, but wasn't hit very hard, could ride on.
Then i was kick&banned for using a slot wich had to be freed just in that minute for some other racer wich (i guess) had chatted with the host from outside the race (possible?).

so much for fair driving, behavior in generall.:arge:

thanks so far tristan, but if that plug is meant to be putten into any 3ds folder it's no use to me since i'm unwilling to use that programm since it's expensive and quite unhandy, compared to cinema 4d, but that's compareable like what os to use, or what religion to believe in.

so if it's not illegal to recieve any pre-converted cmxes can you put them on the line please? thx

well to be honest i'd like to see what happens at big speeds like 350+ or the speed of sound.
cause as i'm guessing right, noone of the delinquents here ever travelled that fast on ground, but a little few humans actualy did.
i'ts just to temper my curiosity.
or to go reaaally fast for a change, for the small narrow tracks, or the simulated feel of freedom

wrong, it was @ the time were science has had a GOOOOOOOD idea.
it was a gearbox with one gear that dynamicly adjusted to the needs of the drivers style.

means you can ride @ powerlimits or economic limits.
was testet in a yellow f1 car (sorry for fuzzy explaination) around 1965-70
and was NOT approved by the times- FIA.
Cause the car was able to travel much faster due to not loosing acceleration during shifts and keeping the engine @ the optimium power output.
instead of letting the best parts pass by the gears (revv up), like todays cars.
but there is a silver lining, don't want to lie but i guess it was Audi wich actually has a car (prototype) with just such a gearbox, but have major torque-transition problems (it's always breaking up)

and what about the possibillity (<-written correct?) of a freely license give back for re-install and then get a new one?

means, give your actual key wich will become invalid (and unusable), like some keys of microfts sp2 blacklist.
Then get a fresh key just for you out of this BIG numberspace.
Anyway i don't get the point in this 3-tries system.
Why not just give a key to ligitimated users if needed and good.

not really a track bug but really good timing...

in the 8 lap under the bridge for the driver: "---micha---"

get your flamers ready... :P

i've always dreamed of a lfs like physics for some nfs-u2 like game.
why?


why, not?

just a thought

moin,

at least, if the track is delivered, and accurate enough, we can compare round times to real sessions so you can argument that lfs is really a sim not a fuzzy arcade game like nfs. (wich had fun times too but...).
Oftenly i've heard rumors that a kown racer stated "this game has real good physics" does anyone have proof?
