.....isn't modern days F1-Racing cool?

Yep, LFS Formula 1 racing and Real life Formula 1 racing is exactly the same.
How about watching some races?

Well, I thought it was pretty neat

Quote from Djbob :

I dont do it anymore in LFS because I think most accept it is unsporting and specifically not allowed in some leagues but is there actually a rule against it in real-life?

Yes. I don't think the rule is very old though, not shure.

Quote from Scawen :

In an ideal world, I would just do all updates in one day and they would be perfect and without any bugs.

But reality dictates that I can only do a limited amount each day and there will be problems or errors in some of the things I do. So we make optional test patches that are 100% optional, so no-one can complain that there are too many patches. Then when we are happy with the test patches, we can make an official patch, which everyone should get.

Test patches are the way to reduce the number of and improve the quality of official patches.

I'm backing you guys 100% on this decition, the worst thing a gamer can experience is to get a patch that has more or the same amount of bugs that the game originally had.

Keep up the good work

Start LFS
Host a game on local
Start another LFS application up
Join the server

This is on one computer with 2 screens, quite funeh

I can now drive a car on the track, leave it there, and get another car and spin around the one on the track like crazy. Didn't do that on the screenshot though.
The pic is quite big.

Nice skin there quicky

whats a skip?

You shouldn't Alt-Tab at all with LFS, use Shift-F4 instead.

tbh I don't think we will se any real cars (maybe a few) before the developers are 100% happy with LFS, after S3 is out and after some patches.

Will there be LFR servers today to? luved it

replay?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Dead easy to disqualify anyone you see using it in the replays. It's obvious when it's switched on.

Yep, and I think everyone would be fair enough to obey the rules.

True Vain, but if there is one car thats supperior it could be forced to drive with ballast, one person.

Q:
Is it allowed to use TC on the FZ50? (I vote no)

Quote from Tweaker :

Nope, LX4 is faster by at least 2 or more seconds.

Well, it depends on the track, the LX4 is a lot slower on the straights, but faster out of the corners, so if you got a track like AS Nat I think it would struggle to keep up.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I think it's more a case of out-dated information rather than having the wrong information. Sometimes I struggle to keep up with F1 and i'm a die hard fan.

Yep, F1 is like computer technology. The development goes so quickly its really hard to keep up with it. Specially all the rules.

Quote from silent_wind :

i been getting some 10 sec freezes while racing online and especially when i have a close car in my sight..LFS just freezes and i get disconnected with a message telling me i lost connection to host...

any ideas pls ? ?

Is that on the new patch?

Quote from traxxion :

Do I need to unlock again when I install this one? Because I have no unlocks left this month...

No

Quote from Thorvertonian :

If you bring up the connections list ("N"), you click click the drivers controller (M, W, KB) and you will jump straight to that driver, useful if spectacting 20 racers!

Neat, didn't know that

I know there was some research about that regarding football teams.

Nice tips, specially the last one

Quote from ArosaMike :

But to be fair, why go and wreck a load of peoples races by crashing into them?! I practiced offline until I was consistant. There is absolutely NO point in 'racing' on a server when all you can do is smash into everyone at the first corner. And where do you get the idea that you can 'do what you like'. It's a free world yes, but we all need to abide by a few basic rules so we all get along.

I know it's only a game, but can you not see how annoying it is when you've invested 15mins of your life in a race at Blackwood, pulled out a 20s lead and then have somone who has no clue what they're doing try and overtake you into the first corner of BL from 200m back and write your chassis off!...and for what. I don't generally get angry with the people because there is often no point, but it doesn't mean I'm not damn pissed about it.

I'm afraid to say that I personally think until you can do consistant 58s laps or under round BL...no I don't think you should race in the same race as people doing 56s, 55s, and 54s. The Super Aguris are 4-5s secs slower per lap in F1 and you can see how much of a hassel those are to the leaders. I don't know any motorsport where there would be such a huge gap as there is in LFS sometimes. I've been on servers recently where someone sets a fastest lap of 55.xs and the slowest person sets a 1min20s lap! You'd be faster and safer doing it in an FXO!

Spot on and amen to that. The only thing I don't agree in is when youre saying people shouldn't race in races with low 55s if they are driving laps of one minute.
I've raced very fast people that have been total jerks and arseholes, and very slow people that have respect for others.
Even that people are slower dosen't mean they don't know how to race and be respectful to others.
When I started in LFS, I learnt the tracks online, but I stayed the heck out of the way of the faster guys until I got decent times.

ops, clicked. ;-)


aaah, a new day, new chanses.

aite



wooohoo, scawen talked to me
