Quote from spacedskunk :

PS
I also think, now this is just a personal opinion, that the S2 licence is over-priced. The quality of the game is worth the £24, BUT, as us S2ers know, theres more demo servers than s2 servers. Sometimes the choice of servers is pityfull on S2, this is the main dissapointment I found when I first got the game, but I think its my timezone, a lot more choice after like 6 GMT.

Overall, seems to be a good idea, and good luck, however, re the quote above..

Are you sure? There are over 600 S2 servers currently, ok, not all of them are good, but how many more could you possibly want? Do you mean populated, non empty servers..? Which is easily solved, as a server wont stay empty for long once there is someone in it.

Its not a point about S2 which disappointedly me, Ive been around to watch the number steadily grow since S2 Alpha was released.

Nice track, tho sometimes unclear about which way to go or why.. Figured it out whilst Shift+U mode was on.

See you all (hopefully) there this evening for some fun!

With reset enabled.. doesn't the car become "fixed" by resetting? Hence the need for pits is....

Food for thought

Driven By Passion - Winter 2007 Events

Driven By Passion


Presents its Winter Event Schedule
(all events added to the LFS Forums Race Calendar)

Driven By Passion has worked hard to ensure a fun schedule of winter events for the LFS Community. We invite all and everyone to come visit us, enter the series and have some November/December fun with the team.

MRT5 Series - Season Two




The MRT5 Series seen a hotly contested battle between a number of entries, but ended up with the majority of DBP racing, along with A guest from ATC and A guest from R4R (who would later become a DBP Member ).

The series was won in style by [DBP] B-Rad

He is racing again this season, which is just Six Rounds due to the lack of remaining time left for events this year. However, that means 12 races, and that is more than enough MRT5 Fun for all!

Information and details of how to enter the series can be found via the links below, we hope to have a nice turnout for this, our flagship event

Series Website | Enter Series

Get Wrecked - Season Four



Season Three was a fun series, but with lacking entry numbers, the fun was limited to those who attended regularly. And so, we wanted some more Banger Racing before the end of the year, thus Season Four was born!

We ask you to note that some basic rules have been changed, for example, you can now reset your car. LFS's own protection system will not allow this if you are near to, or you would cause a yellow flag if you reset.

Drivers are still encouraged to help out overturned cars, but you no longer have to.

The hotlapping penalty is still in play

Christmas Cracker - Season Two




The welcome return of the Christmas Cracker, proudly won by [DBP] Skinny last year, just before DBP Confirmed Skinny as a Driver .

The event is two weeks long, with sessions running Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.

The track and the date/time of the event is the only information released. This is a Multi-Cup Event. Two cars will be driven by each driver, at each track, in each round.

Drivers will discover the first car when they arrive at the server on race night. They will have just 15 minutes to learn the car/track combo. Then the first race will start.

At the end of Race One, the drivers will discover the second car of the night, have 15 minutes to practice that car/track combo, and then right into Race Two.

Its quite evil .

Series Website | Enter Series


And that is your lot!

I will keep this thread updated with entry lists, but all results and further info will take place over at the DBP Forums, which you can register for, and join in the fun

Hope to see you there, and of course, on the race-track!

Basically what you are saying is that you have seen the previous posts in this thread, read them, visited the links and followed the advice so far, and you are still not able to get anywhere?

Quote :Can anyone here recommend rFactor?

Yes

Quote : Will rFactor be a huge letdown physics wise compared to what I am used to in LFS?

Nope.

Quote :I simply want to know if rFactor can 'fill a hole' that LFS doesn't yet fulfill, so to speak.

it will if you give it a chance.. Rolling starts etc, hundreds of mods, its a great game. Wouldn't call it a simulation, but its a great alternative to LFS yes.

This will do fairly much what you ask for, including displaying on the web. However, it does take a little configuring to get working, and you will need to host it on your webspace.

Quote from rainspecialist :like above im not going to buy lfs because

1 my computer needs a overhaul 20 fps now

Live with it, turn down your graphics options.. try the wiki.. like at top of this page.

Quote from rainspecialist : 2 im w8ting to get my wheel in the mail

Ok, there are lots of keyboard, mouse or joypad players out there.

Quote from rainspecialist : 3 i need practice

Tried the demo?

Quote from rainspecialist : 4 i tried s2 and the lx6 with keyboard and no traction control it is impossible to drive most cars in s2 hard to drive on kboard

LX6 is fine with keyboard.. so there isnt going to be as much control without a wheel or an alternative analogue input device, but its still race-able.. Ive seen it done, ive done it.

Quote from rainspecialist : 5 not that i wont ever get s2 ill w8 like 5-10 months for all the above to be completed then ill buy s2 by then s3 will b out so ill just aim for s3

Wishful thinking, but, personally again, and I doubt im alone, but you wont be seeing S3 in 5-10 months.

Quote from rainspecialist : 6 last i probably want school to finish so i can race every day and become really good

Good plan. Stay in school. (and all that crap).

Where to start... erm, google would be the best bet I'd say. If you have changed a "thing where you store data" (hard drive perhaps?) then its fairly simple to swap out a graphics card.

Most (older) systems will have some sort of standard on-board graphics card, but this doesnt normally stop a user from adding in their own.

LFS is CPU intensive, however your system stats posted sound about right. 20-30fps imo for lfs is fine. Turn down your graphics settings if you need more. But honestly, 20-30fps is better than some.

Personally I've lived with 12-17fps for the first few years of LFS, now im around 80-120fps average, but now in the land of luxuary with a nice graphics card.

Quote from e2mustang :
U wanna know the truth why they hate drifting? coz they cant do what drifters do(most of them) and they are pissed

I assure you its not because they are angry. Drifting is an artform? So is Racing, so is Painting, so is Singing, so is Performance and the list goes on.

There will be races who do not like drift, to some, drifting makes no sense. There will be drifters who do not like traditional racing.

All should be able to get along side by side without issue.

One thing I have noticed from reading these "races hating drift" threads, and something which is a common basis for this argument or discussion is this..

Most of these threads are started by drifters asking what racer's problems are with drift.. and people wonder why people get defensive, ive never seen this discussion from the other side, ive never seen a racer question the motives of a drifter.

I wonder is there a Online Drift Simulator out there somewhere, and if so, does it have a forum plagued by threads asking the opposite of the OP's question?

Then im retarded, anyone with me? Also really tired of this same subject. Fair enough its a form of motorsport, however I was always brought up on the belief that to go fast you need grip. Thus to me, the more I drift and slide, the more time I lose, and the more I ware out my tires.

It would be no supprise to me if people think im wrong, they can think what they like, same with drifting. Each to their own works for me.

500servers uses a gameserver control panel called TC-Admin to control its gameservers over the internet.

There are other companies which have developed these systems and a google search will help you out im sure.

Specifically for LFS, a Wed Dedi Admin control.. im not sure, http://www.hpr-network.com/ may possibly have what you need, or something along those lines..

Good Luck

I speak only for myself, but, I honestly seen the title of the thread and thought "ooOOoo" but when id finished reading the opening post I was a little "eh?". Im sure its nothing to do with lazyness, but there are a lot of other threads here.

This may sound too dumb.. But.. LFS Team Manager.. I guessing its some sort of management tool for teams.. But how does it do what it does? Any kind of incite into this might help (me) and anyone interested in this..

Thanks.

EDIT: I didn't vote, as I didnt feel I knew enough about the project to vote.
EDIT2: In Short...

Quote from Smurfen :what is lfs team manager?

Exactly!

No comments since last night !

F I N A L L Y! This is one of the better pieces of news around here in a while. Of Course, there is still no way I can race with you guys, the stupid timezones of the world get in the way as always.

But, good job, and the best of luck.

Firstly, get your website fully up and running, put some time and effort into it. Give people some more information. There are some very generious people here, who are willing to help, however, there are others who will flatly shoot you down with no questions asked.

Think about what you are asking for, and the reason you are asking for it, come back, and repost your first post (check it too for mistakes), as it seems critical to get it all right for threads to not smell of flaming banana's.

Good Luck in your search.
