I think I had played Racer first. Heard people talking about some LiveForSpeed game, and saw the forum section for it at RSC. One visit to the LFS site had me playing the demo, and then purchasing S1....
This is the first test U patch I've tried, and it seems quite impressive! Love the new track selection even though that was added a few test patches ago :-) Everything seems to working fine here so far! Excellent work. Let's hope for no more cheaters!!
I've heard FS2004 won't allow the use of the mouse as a controller. Is this true? Seems really dumb that they'd allow keyboard use but no mouse. Mouse is way more like a joystick than these keys.
LOTF is certainly a good team to be on :-) I was with them for a few months or less. Unfortunately I had to depart because of certain situations that I'm editing out for the sake of Marsh and the entire LOTF team.
Exactly! We're provided with an off topic forum because it is known that LFS is not the only thing we're allowed to talk about here. So this:
"We need to tighen up the junk and really off topic stuff"
really makes no sense to me. The only problem is when off-topic threads are made in the main LFS forum where they shouldn't be, but for the most part I think people are doing fine by keeping the thread's where they are suppose to be. The only recent problem for the dev's is all the requests being put into the test patch thread when Scawen said not to.
Go to any gaming community with a crack of their favorite game and you'll get flamed. LFS isn't the only place this happens. Yeah some people do jump to conclusions very quickly, but when a demo user posts a pic of him in a gtr car on fern bay....
And what's so bad about spam and off-topicness? We can't discuss LFS 24/7. There ARE other things in life
Your layout says 22 views, I'm one of them. It's pretty good for a first layout. I know how tedious it can be to lay objects out and make any sort of track. I don't claim to be a drifter, but I enjoy trying. I mostly like the couple of long sweeping turns you have on this one. One downfall, which isn't your fault, is the barriers themselves. If you run into them they send you flying quite funny sometimes
Just tried doing a few laps and ran into a bug. The replay is attached but I'll give a little explanation.
My first lap out I hit a banner before the first checkpoint so I spectated and re-joined. Only got a little ways before it kicked me to spectator because I didn't reach checkpoint 1 quick enough. Re-joined, kicked me to spectator after 20 seconds or so. Re-joined, kicked me to spectator as soon as the race started. This went on a few more times before I decided to record the replay and leave. You can see from the replay I wasn't driving too slow as to not reach checkpoint 1 in time, it was just kicking me way too early.
This is the first time I've witnessed this. Pretty sure it has something to do with that initial spectating I did manually before I reached checkpoint 1. In fact I'm going to go do that again to see if the bug reproduces itself.
Well it didn't do it again. Very odd, but I guess it was just a one time thing.
I was noticing that too. And Pastyrk's line has a really weird part it in right after the third checkpoint. Looks like he was nearing a haybail, then it suddenly jumps to the left and keeps going. My guess is just some lag happening or something.
That doesn't even seem to be talking about S2. He mentioned earning points to get the other cars and said there are only three tracks. Along with this: "highly adaptable AI drivers who exhibit an uncanny level of situational awareness as they battle tooth and nail for every position." Either my mind has escaped me at the moment, or that is a review of S1illepall
This has brought new life to LFS for me. I haven't played for a good while, but this has kept me busy the past few days. Can't wait to see what comes of this idea. I can imagine some real good rally tracks using this feature :-)
