also i doubt anyone cares, but im going to walmart to get a $20 ps2 controller for the computer and ill be floating around tonight on some the drift whatever they are called i guess. i havent played in forever, and i can get owned by 12 year old kids, but its fun so thats all that matters.
yah its pretty simple. U shape track that doubles back right on the inside of itself. Just make a gigantic rectangualr box...here ill just mspaint + imageshack it. I looked at it like wow this is really gay walking it, but 1st time i drove it my opinion changed very much. It was a really fun course to play no lift challenge on, the outside corner there was barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrely enough room to nolift it, im just glad my SR20 connecting rod i was using as a tow hook didnt slice any the water barriers.
the nopi pittsburgh and nopi atlanta course would be easy to reproduce, after browsing the forum maybe you lfs drifter league guys should think about reproducing every nopi track and having a lfs nopi tournament, that would actually be pretty cool.
Haven't posted here since oct 30 2006 apparently, but i've been on the internet and several aim windows have popped up asking if i still play lfs, so i figured yall'd enjoy this video.
I'm not on my own computer, but I'll be getting a laptop soon and a wireless card, so you might see me playing again. Not that anyone in particular cares, but just throwin that out there.
Anyways enjoy the vid, its the 1st one I've ever edited, feel free to spread it around and leave comments.
I was just browsing this thread and saw this post and had to chime in.
Reality:
Racing a car, you have 5 feet by 2-3 feet of glass in front of you, with 2-3 inches of pillar, 2-3 inches of front downbar obstructing your veiw on drivers side. everything you see is track.
PC Sim:
you have a 17'' monitor your looking thru, and you are2-3' away from it. everything you see is the wall behind the computer, the poster behind it, the cd's on the shelf, the phone, the liscence plate frame, the krystal burger box, your keyboard, mouse, modem, empty cup of milk, cell phone, some change, and roughly a square foot of what your trygin to focus on. now take that small space of view and add in 30% of it being taken away by a dashboard you cant see/read anyways. that is not realism. if you have a projector on your wall with a bucket/wheel and air shocks moving it that is realism. but for the average gamer putting a dash and crap in front of you is a handicap. you already lost the feel, the noise, the air, the...everything about being in a car, dont take away the small amount of the one form of feedback you get which is sight by putting a stupid dashboard in the way of your already limited sight.

my suggestions
couple drift cars with more steering angle, street tires, and ranging power levels, and more adjustable suspension.
maybe make some add ons like different wheels, a couple different body parts and smoe other ricer stuff so people can customize their cars. yes that stuff is gay in real life but im one of those people (as well as a lot of my freinds) who enjoy making our stuff look different and tacky since it is the internet and you'd never do it in real life. adds some fun and variation, and allows some creativity.
other than that ive been playing hte game for 3 days now, like it a lot. pretty realistic im just not able to figure out a couple things. but these are the things i would like to see improved, however after briefly skirmishing around this board i realize as someone who primarily plays this game to drift online with freinds i am the minority. but if these changes are simple to make it would help cater to the drifter crowd. mainly the more steering angle/suspension tuning.
hi, im a n00b and i did search, but only results i got was
1) real drifters dont need more steering angle
2) s1 is better for drifting
3) go to another forum
so heres my questions
what kind of tires f/r are yall running? tire pressure work well on this game? what kind of tire pressures are yall running?
spring/shock tuning. whats a good baseline to start with?
steering angle.
is there any way to get more lock? is there a hack you can do to get more lock?
also while im at it, i looked around, how do you upload skins to use on lfs? is there a how to thread?
