Like I've stated in some other threads, along with many others, I have the mouse for analog steering, analog braking, analog throttle. So that isn't a problem. The only problem with this setup is that you have to select the wheel option as your controller(so you can assign y-axis of the mouse), so the game and lfsworld designates you as a wheel driver even though you're using a mouse.
Pellit is asking about Mouse versus Keyboard, not about buying a wheel. So lets not turn this into yet ANOTHER thread where the "serious":rolleyes: racers try to convince us "nonserious":rolleyes: racers to buy a wheel. I can tell you Pellit from personal experience, mouse is better and will make you faster. I used KB all through S1 and I thought it was fast. But I've adapted to using the mouse with S2 for analog controlling of braking, throttling, and turning, and my lap times have dropped majorly. Sometimes it can get crazy if you panic and jerk the mouse around too much. That's where practice comes into play. The movements need to be gentle.
Been playing since early S1 days. Can't remember my join date on racesimcentral, but joined lfsforum.net in 2003. I just don't post too often.
Hah I've never noticed that before.

Haha just kiddin, I can't draw worth a crap with this mouse.

I've had tire blowouts while driving on the highway, one was the rear tire of my vehicle and the other time was on a trailer I was hauling. I didn't hear any kind of pop sound either time. But I did hear and feel rumbling, and then saw chunks of rubber flying in the air from my rear view mirror. The only time I've ever heard a pop was from a semi truck that was beside me, but I would imagine those things have a high tire pressure.
I'll have to look through the Universities computing policies and see if online gaming is against their rules. I don't see why it would be...students need some entertainment away from studying and classes. If this is the case then they must have implemented it this year, cause multiplayer use to work wonderfully from my dorm.
Same outcome for microsoft.com...same outcome for any site I try for some reason. The tracert command does this:
over and over again :-/
EDIT::I'm going to *GASP* see what happens with the firewall turned off....
Hmm same thing...not a firewall issue

Guess no solutions for this? :-/ I was in a rally server today and things seemed okay to me but other people said I was lagging...don't understand this at all. Worked perfect in S1, 10Mbit connection should not be lagging.
Possibly another reason for not many organized drifting events is because too many people can't respect that some people like to drift and not just race all the time. The majority seems to look down on drifters.
Completely useless and disrespectful post. The title mentions drifting, which is apparently something you don't like, so simply don't visit the thread. :-)
How is drifting abusing LFS? It's suppose to simulate real life vehicles on a track and drifting is real.
I don't have the skill yet to be any good at drifting, but I enjoy the drift movies and the drift tournaments sound like a good idea to me. Would be entertaining to watch

I'll be checking in here often for solutions also, as I'm on a 10Mbit ethernet connection from college, and multiplayer is basically unusable in LFS, way too much lag, players vehicles disappearing and reappearing out of no where, pings skyrocketing,ect. It used to work perfect, so I dunno, was kind of excited hearing that it might be the Q patch.
Well I made another topic about how it sort of causes a problem because the game recognizes me as using a wheel and not a mouse. What you have to do is select Wheel as your controller so then the game allows you to set up the x- and y-axes of your mouse to the steering and throttle/brake. Using the normal "mouse" controller selection forces you to have steering on the x-axis and forces you to assign brake/throttle to some buttons, which is crappy.
In case you're wondering, the steering is like it always is, cursor on the left half of screen to turn left, cursor on the right half of the screen to turn right. Same idea for throttle/brake, upper half of the screen for throttle, lower half of the screen for braking. You can also set dead zones so the throttle and brake dont activate until the cursor is higher or lower on the screen. Works like a champ, tons better than keyboard, and has made me tons faster compared to how I was on gamepad.

A big difference between that and the AI is that the AI can "sense" where you are at and try braking appropriately or turning appropriately as to not hit you(though the AI aren't too great at this yet like they were in S1). A replay AI would drive its line, you move into its line and its trouble cause it won't move out of the way.
Oh ok thank you very much. I was looking through the objects at the autocross park I believe.
A tad off topic, but where do you get these ramps at in LFS? I can't find them in the objects list in user view or anything, just hay bales, posts, chalk, ect.
I would be willing to bet a lot of money that if you drive a car, it has computers controlling certain aspects of it.
Well back in S1 I tried using the mouse just for steering and found it very hard, so I used a gamepad for the longest time. But it stopped working with S2 so I went back the mouse. And I remembered I played a dirtbike game for many years that used the mouse to control steering, throttle, and braking. So I set LFS like that and it was like second nature. I was very suprised how easy it was for me to get used to and I've gotten tons faster....been working on reaching all the FXO benchmark times, able to get most of them and like .5 from a WR is my best. If you go over to lfsworld you should be able to find some of my hotlaps since you're wanting to watch. It's nothin special really lol
Mouse showing up as Wheel
I just noticed my hotlaps are saying I'm using a wheel, however I don't own a wheel and use the mouse for LFS. Unfortunately this seems to be an unsolveable problem, but just wanted to get this out there. The way I have the mouse setup is to use the x-axis for steering and y-axis for throttle/brake. This type of setup only works with the "wheel" option chosen as the controller instead of the "mouse" option. The "mouse" option forces you to assign the throttle and brake to buttons, which isn't good if you want to be fast. Choosing the "mouse" option automatically assigns the steering to the x-axis but gives no option of the y-axis.
Not really a huge concern, just kinda sucks I can't filter the hotlaps to mouse drivers and compare to them instead of comparing to all the wheel drivers.

Digital brakes/throttle? I use the mouse for steering, braking, and throttling. Steering on the x-axis, brake/throttle on the y-axis. Mouse drivers can have analog too :-)
.04Q...wow I gotta try this one lol
Isuzu PIAZZA XE '81 on SO Sprint 2, maybe a frontal shot of it coming around a turn or something. :-) Thanks!
Yeah sorry if its old...a friend of mine posted it at another forum I visit and it was the first time I saw it. Thought it'd be a good post here for the drifters hehe
Think you can drift? HA!
