Are you planning to increase the lap count a bit? E.g. AS7R 3 laps is a bit short, 5 would be more like it, the first lap is a mess anyway and mostly about getting through the midfield junkyard unscathed more than anything else.

Quote from obsolum :

which leads me to believe it had more to do with hardware settings or something rather than the game itself.

I seem to remember other people said the switch from the scazzato engine to the newer one had consequences on sound quality

FWIW my gaming PC has a Creative X-FI ExtremeMusic card, shouldn't be totally crappy. But I think the 1.02 bundle is still lying around somewhere, so it should be easy to make a fair comparison.

Quote from GTR_Yuni :

I wonder if anyone else does this.

I do something like that, basically since I have to focus on the race instead of my own driving, I tend to race in a more instinctive way which is sometimes faster. For that to work the AIs must be slightly slower than me though. Online I tend to be more conservative, so Single Player has its usefulness IMO.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I'd even consider a death penalty

I'm now waiting for someone to pop up and say he's like the nazis so we can label the whole thread failed under Godwin's law

Bumping this up since it now appears to have a demo. Downloading it right now...

Just a guy swerving around to avoid being passed, not in the mood to report right now, I'm waiting for a spot to open up in the grid so I went and took a look at the reporting section and watched some SRT

Quote from oldnavy :

why scawen should dont wat to fix bariers?

Maybe he has been bribed by David Kaemmer

Thank you, I'm really eager to see the pedals' review

So, what is regarded as a minor intentional accident that should not be reported?

But then we would conclude Scawen DOESN'T WANT to fix the barriers!

A new conspiracy theory is about to be born?

Quote from DevilDare :

Prove to me that thousands of years ago, our ancesters were hunting CATS

LOL, thousands. In wartime (think WWII) people have been known to eat cats and worse.

Quote from DevilDare :

Cows and other stuff we need to kill to survive, is a whole different story.

I guess you've never heard of India?

I'm not excusing the sick boy, but I really find amusing how people get all twitchy about ONE cat and then forget the whole topic of animal abuse entirely when it's off the news.

By talking of the sick guy you're making his attention whoring successful.

You're welcome

Quote from Bean0 :

Anyone who has ever hunted will tell you that the idea is to get a clean, quick kill

Do you know how you hunt with live baits?

First you catch a lot of little cute birds with a net. Then you cut their bellies open to find out their sex. The females are then left to die a slow death, while males are used as baits while dieing a slow death.

If you decide to believe the hunter lobby or are a hunter yourself, well, you can think whatever makes you feel better

Kill an animal and you're a murderer, kill hundreds and you're a hunter

BTW I eventually got round to give 1.03 a spin.

From now on everybody who complains about the shortcomings in LFS' sound system should be directed to try nKp. It kills immersion so effectively that I couldn't shake off myself the impression of having got back in the early 90s. Stunts on a PC speaker sounded better than this

Quote from deggis :

e.g. they're asking real life racing resume.

Well they ask if you have racing experience, it might be worth a try anyway... maybe embellish it up a bit

has anybody tried?

Interesting, these are not time-limited offers right?

What would be better to pick between the Radical and the Mazda?

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Sure we have the current TBO's being raced on the RSR server, but how long will it last? With the demise of CTRA (which had good points and bad points), there is no organised on line pickup and go racing.

Good points, the new servers are missing the organization bit: they're clean as long as an admin is on AND watching, and as long it's not the admin who hit you.

Nice but CTRA was a different story. After it went out my interest in iRacing has grown; it doesn't hurt they've finally decided to hand out free trials, and I guess in time they might tone down the pricing and turn iR more into an alternative to LFS than it is now.

One question: is the car completely free no strings attached?

i.e. if I sign up to iRacing through either the Radical or the Star Mazda promo, and then buy a subscription, I keep the car as I had bought it?

or rather, when the month is up, the car expires?

Aero modelling in LFS is very simple and I don't really think it evens attempt to recreate the aero trail, save for slipstreaming and downforce (partially, e.g. there's no ground effect).

That effect is caused by pressure differences in the aero trail of the truck, and the intensity of forces you feel depends by the side surface of the car. Since in LFS there are no trucks and all the cars have quite low profiles, I doubt the effect would be so strong as in the situation you were using as an example.

Quote from 5haz :

It would be even greater if all the retards from CTRA had not come along

Congrats, you've just missed a great chance to keep your mouth shut.

Have you thought about PVC pipes?

Quote from DragonCommando :

So what do you think?

+1

So, the new 5.04 drivers are out and officially the only addition is support for the DFGT.

Anyone tried them?

Quote from BlueFlame :

if he knew he was moving, why didn't he say that?

Good question, this was my guess
