Couldn't make the timeslot, sorry boys

Hyped up and speedy, but if only it was 2 hours earlier... Hope you guys had fun!

I knew it had a ring of "performance" to it, just didn't know what else it went with. Cool, Drago.

Quote from LOXISLOXIS :

can do it quietly by putting names with replica ES. Nissan S14 = XRN S14 ^ _ ^

Car body shapes and grills (ectra) are all patented and cannot be directly copied, so having real cars isn't an option. (FBM/BF1 don't count, as they were contracted to and with LFS to promote stuff)

And I don't quite think cars are the main thing lacking in LFS, no? Probably tracks is what is lacking... and graphics would be the lowest on my priority list but it seems perfecting things that don't matter is the road LFS is taking so I won't put hopes up high for anything big in the next 2 years, besides probably better shading for a section of bush we almost never notice travelling at 250kph...

I think KATT is followed by "HIGH PERFORMANCE SPRINGS" for the bottom slogan thing that you can't read. I'm pretty sure about it, can someone second this?

Check current skins, I'm not sure but I think there is a default XRR skin that has KATT in it. If I recall it says High Performance something something, but I might be wrong.

Not sure if we do have default liveries in LFS featuring KATT either, I might have gotten mixed up with the slogans of another "fake" company on a skin.

But just check, in case.

you sim raced as a wee little 2 year old? Jesus christ, it's mini max verstappen all over again!

^ What he said.

I'd just buy S2 at the moment, S3 isn't a need unless you definitely want Rockingham. Because besides that one track, that's basically just S3 at the moment. Not saying S3 won't have new content in the future, but that's all it provides currently.

Oh, Box box box! Haven't caught up with EB's videos in a while. thanks for reminding me Adam

Quote from Eclipsed :

Which is probably like 2.3 stars better than your current wheel...

LOL sorry just caught back up to this thread. Well burnt, Rony.

@awesome Well, if you're not up to speed in terms of skill, no wheel will make you faster than your sidewinder. I listed the DFGT because its a pretty good industry standard - it can do whatever you ask it to do in today's modern sims, really. If you wish to splurge on a G29 or Fanatec, go ahead. But I'm telling you its not worth it right now.

In perspective, if you are just starting out in guitar, you won't jump straight into a 11k Gibson Custom shop Les Paul would you?
With your sidewinder, its kind of like you using your old granddad's guitar from the 90s that's worth 10p - something to get the feels on. Then you make a small, but noticable leap up to something better, like a Epiphone (or DFGT in this case).

I see. No way to remove mirror unless you use a VOB mod, which is illegal in most LFS servers.

You can try to decrease the FOV so you sit further in front and have a "looking forward" view. Should bypass the mirror.

Get a used DFGT, it might be a step up, unless you are using a old DFGT already (wait, 20 years? idk).

They go for something like 60 pound in used market if you have negotiation skills. Got mine for something like 68 i think after conversion. Save up a little bro.

Huh? How do you position the camera for the rear view mirror to even be an obstruction

There lies the other problem then - have you ever thought of getting a new wheel? Older wheels may lag and have compatability issues that make driving on them not as a fun experience than today's wheels.

Use default LFS textures, turn all graphics to basically lowest, close all other running app in windows background. Celeron is not a good processor and with your ram and other specs the current FPS is really just the max your pc can give. I had a Pentinum core laptop and it could never go above 115 in any setting. Just limitations each computer has.

Hello all

Have been very busy with life and other stuff. Is the interest still here for fancy layouts? Should I keep making 'em?

@Jati/So-called-legend-that-may-not-be-Jati

Ever thought of upgrading your skill? [intense skill upgrading button pressing]

I'm a couple tenths off Mikke but I don't complain, if you have the time to create a false account to omplain you have the time to practice.

No one is restricting you from hotlapping too, its just how the world works here in sim racing. There lie records, and records are meant to be broken.

You are old

Like someone pointed out before - No need to make more different editions of one single car. We look forward to new cars, not some weird different configuration for the same cars we've run since UM first joined

Get someome to go into the server and kick you out, or the server host will do it remotely. If that doesn't work, like Rony said, the server needs to be reset and rebooted.

It happens when there is a failure/desync in the connection between the server host, LFS hosting system and the user's computer. You physically are booted or out of the server but virtually your account gets stuck in the server.

This is not to be linked with actual disconnection or latency issues direct between the user and the LFS. that just causes your normal DC or JOOS.

This is at least what I know and think is happening. I may be just talking shit lol

Quote from LuisM2 :

It's not just engine sounds, it's acceleration, sound, GEARS(only 2, FOX has 6) and other things such as weight too! I'm gonna see your FE layouts, i would like one!

The FOX is similarly weighted and balanced to the FE cars of today (closest match).

The gearbox can be ratioed in a manner that eliminates the use of gears 3 through 6.

I've done the same in the FOX without any tweak. Its not needed lol.

Just adjust the gearing, put R4s, and the engine sounds and you have a Formula E car.

Its okay for a wheel, until you note that even the Momo wheel is better :/

Im not saying its bad, just that it pales in comparision too, and is kinda horrible when you look at what wheels are currently.

@sermilan

Ah. Just also realised he uses a Microsoft Sidewinder... one of the most horrible wheels you can gey that is still branded somehow.. might explain a quarter of the driving..

Quote from Aw3som3G4m3rzYT :

i dont like having to always be at the back and/or several seconds away from it

i try it offline with the AI but it seems too easy; too unrealistic compared to online

could i have some advice so i can maybe make my results better?

Read it.

No need to start dual threads whining about the same thing.

Quote from TSOracing :

Good debate on an interesting and important topic. I have also been thinking about what to do in order to learn drive and become better in this great sim. Thanks for comments!

Goodluck!
