I just want to share with you a funny/annoying conversation ive just had in public servers with a noob. This is not a rant, noobs are to be forgive for their ignorance and I shouldn´t be in public servers if I want to avoid them.

I braked at a resonable time after the striaght at blackwood. A noob crashes into the back of me and we both spin into the dirt:

Quote :

Noob: What the hell were you doing, didnt you see me!
Me: Yes I saw you, you were behind me and then you hit me.
Noob: You started braking too quickly!

I replied ¨When your the car in front you can brake when you like!¨, which got a few smiles from others.

Away, I think alot of noobs racing in LFS don´t know how to sit behind another car and pick the right part of the track and best situation to overtake. Most of them try late braking into corners and locking up and hitting ppl.

But then most of the guides in the Beginners forum are about faster laps times. Isn´t there one about racing/overtaking/rules and etiquette of the track? And if not shouldn´t there be one?

I was just messing around with public stats and wanted to find a place for it.

I don't think anyone is interested in my stats. But there might be a place for something that helps you find like minded racers at a glance?

Quote from Bob Smith :

I'm not sure how you're working dynamic text, if your script is creating text as an image it will fall under the image rule.

I can also just output the text. I don't have to put it in an image it, it just wont look as nice.

Is there anyway a signature can be dynamic even as text?

I've made a dynamic image based on the public stats. But how can I use this as a signature? I couldn't even use it as plain dynamic text

Seems to me that in LFS it's easier and more precise to use the lap data than a video. That's the advantage of a sim, you don't have to buy the expensive hardware to track your car

But still a great product for after track days.

If your Righteous Indignation has suffered a hit
And your photon accelerator's broken a bit
And you're losing your mind, and you're having a fit
Get the funky fresh rabbit who can take care of it!

Is that a blue Lexus IS200?

A true car-naisseur would have spotted that it's a Lexus IS200 Sport! I mean really - it's such a clear photo I would have thought it obvious :P

When it comes to headphones I have to recomend the Sony MDR-CD280

They are the most comfortable headphones in the world!! (disclaimer: I haven't actually tried every set of headphones in the world)

I bought mine for £15 on the highstreet. Nothing touches your ear, only soft foam on your head. You don't even know you have them on most of the time, which mean you can race for hours and hours.

Just like working with skins or Photoshop editing, never edit the original file. Copy the file, make the changes, test, then either revert back to original if you don't like it, or delete original and make the edited copy now your root setup.

Yep ok, always make a backup. The golden rule of computing. So simple a yet sooo many people overlook it at one time or another :doh:

Wahoo! - I'm in the 9s!

3 Monitors, all 3 at 1280x1024, on my new PC (that I'm buying), AMD 64 X2 5500+'s, SLI'd 8800GTX's.

3 Monitors! Bah!



7680x1200 :haha:

But I haven't figured out a good way to plug them all in - yet.

Quote from Hurts2bStock :

Can you please elaborate on the 6 racing seat, 8 screens 6 momo wheel setup there?....lol.....thanks in advance

I know doesn't it look wonderfull! Jonas, when are we all invited round for some racing?

If GIMP looks a bit weird try GIMPShop. Same thing, Photoshop style wrapper.

Ok ppl, what's your new year's resolution?

Mine is to stop messing around in public servers and do some organised events and clan races... ...and to finish all the DIY left on my flat (if I have enough time after racing).

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

It would be cool if LFS saved a backup of setups connected to an achivement, such as fastest laps and winning a race. Then you'll always have your best setting saved even if you make changes for the worst

Plain vanilla DFP. I have to get rid of that Gran Turismo logo somehow. Just feels wrong looking at it.

You live in Norway and you drink Newcastle Brown? I didn't know that got exported!

I've been stuck at about 12.50 for the last few days. But after reading great Driving Tips post and downloading AnalyzeForSpeed I've cut it down to 10.95 in about 10 laps!!

Ok I know it's not a world record (or anywhere near it) but I'm really impressed with how big a difference it makes when putting a little bit of knowledge into practise. Thanks Victor for the great post!

Installed Teamspeak and connected to Clownpaint's server. Does anyone actually race with it?

I'm sure this has been posted before but I had to say - WOW!
