Quote from Timo1992 :

But why should someone like 3id M.Bont, who was the only admin on the server at this time, do this?

Think he's having a good reputation in the lfs community and doesn't do things like that.

thought, if you look from that perspective why would a driver that doesnt really know you at all ( dino ) do that. Not to point out that he was actually lapping the track at that moment, so driving around + hacking is quite something :P

same as i said on server when it happened : "lol"


its 100% admin having fun, you just didnt get it

let me jump into this convo...

senna and heidfeld arent even competing for a place, place was always going to be for Nick, as long as he didnt mess up. Doing the time he did, and making no mistake, means he gets the place.


If i have to watch a season without Kubica, id rather do it watching Nick than anyone else.

nice to have a gti s2 serv ):

8 pm CET?

Ill keep it in mind. Thanks for info guys

ps. I like to think of myself as not too slow :-D

If any of you guys would like to help me, it would be very nice.

Except racing in fun racing league, almost all of my racing was done on public servers. So now id like to join into some league action, but im totally uninformed about what league uses what car, track, when do they start (in a year), what time of a week do they run, is it a 1 race per week, or 1 race per 2 weeks, is it a sprint race or endurance, and kinda most important, the level of competition on it and also the quality of admins.

As some of this stuff comes only from experience, id like to ask fellow drivers what leagues would fit my requests.

1. I cant drive on friday or saturday night or during day any day. So from 20:00 onwards weekdays + sunday works for me.

2. Im kinda lone lfs racer in my team, so cant really play in leagues where you need more guys from team. Endurance that is.

3. I dont like fwd cars except xgt, and i dont like mrt.

4. I like all the rest, raceabout is most fun to drive, and im fastest with FOX.

5. Would rather like longer races, over 1 hour, up to 3 hour mark, than sprint races.

6. Clean racing is a must.

thanks for info in advance

in real car its the first thing i put on after turning on the engine (actually, radio turns on automatically ). In LFS it just bothers me.

so only thing we need is a spell checker now?

id be more interested in racing than circling around

Quote from Chupacabras84 :

I am pretty sure that "Eric is working on more S3 content" its not really the best answer because its only Eric
He is not releasing stuff very often, only 6 tracks till now (Without the test area) So he might work on the new content but it doesnt mean LFS will swarm with new tracks or cars, in fact this probably means we will get one new track with scirocco and two tracks later (Since S1/2 have 3 tracks each i think this would be the case in S3 also)

So the only way you can get more content is either trough modding or hiring more devs, and neither of them look like a possible occurrence by now.
Yes there will be more content but one new car/track every two years doesnt really look like all that much content.

Edit: Unless modding will be allowed in S3 as Scaven mentioned once (Which is actually make sense because why S1 or S2 users would buy S3 when they can just mod S1 to beat S3 in therms of content.

On the side note I wonder how much this tyre physics change car behaviour I mean its only a tyre and LFS was pretty realistic already so I wouldnt expect anything radical here.

while your point of only 6 tracks is valid, those layouts are really awesome! Tell me who wouldnt want to race a real car around as7, fe2 or ky3r for instance. So me personally, im more than happy with having less tracks but them being absolutely awesome than having alot of shit tracks.


That being said, good luck on your future work guys, I enjoy LFS almost every day, so the tyre patch isnt so important to me, but its a goal for you guys, and goals are always good to have (and finish i might say). Have a nice and relaxing holidays!

me likes myself some rac here and then :-D

well, hardest to drive its any track with XFR for me.

I HATE UNDERSTEER!!!

other than that i dont have problems, even RAC is hella fun around tracks

Quote from lysergic :

500server service is the 1st cause of my growing disgust about LFS

My only troubles during league (FunRacingLeague) events are because of 500server

atleast it was a good timing, 2 minutes after end of 40 laps race. imagine it striking 5 minutes earlier :o

always good to see fight against cheaters ongoing. Even better, i didnt get cpw

keep up the good work, thanks

Quote from JBiturbo :

Is that how you live your life? wait for stuff to happen or fall on your lap?
I though good things come to those who work hard....not sit and wait . In this particular case, waiting never made me happier or less bored. On the contrary, since i stoped waiting, i was able to enjoy LFS again...

I dont even want to think about the patch cause i would only be bothering and eluding myself...now i just focus on what i have and try to have fun with it.

well said!

i dont bother with patch. i bother with T1 on as5r

lol mango juice (mil?) i just wanted to say something similar.

anyways yeah, anyone who thinks that keyboard people suck should come on fox junkies and get owned by steelbeen, a keyboard driver (and very very good one at that).

:-)


disclaimer : im not saying that he is faster than everyone with wheel, but he is easily in top 5% of fox drivers and can race with no problems, doesnt crash etc.

woohoo!

its hard to get one set for all tracks because some are totally different. it could be put down to like 5 sets or so that would perform ok i guess.

Quote from amv :

hi guys, I'm new to LFS and I'm frustrated at my 1.38.xx hotlap at Blackwood using XFG and I was hoping someone can tell me what's wrong with my driving and how to improve.

I use a logitech momo racing wheel (270 degrees, autoclutch)

I watch the WR's and compare it with hotlap analyzer, analyze for speed and lfs replay analyzer, also I download the wr's as spr to see them drive.. it looks so easy by looking and analyzing, but I just can't seem to improve.

I just try to maintain the curve speed I see in WR, but I simply fail, I end up turning to much and sliping tires to avoid getting out of track.

here's my hotlap SPR:
http://www.lfsworld.net/get_spr.php?file=70004

any hits/tips would be very welcome, not by just telling what's wrong, but also how to gradually improve it.

It'd really help to see my own (or other) cars in ghost mode in LFS, is that possible? I've seen a ghost car mod but it no longer works in current version of LFS. is there any alternatives to that mod?

thanks guys!!

im at work, so i cant see replay, but im gonna ask one obvious question. what set are you using?

configured aonio yesterday, radar map is of a big help because i use chase view. now i dont have to switch to heli cam every now and then to see where are other cars. so thanks for the tool.

Quote from MadCatX :

Well, this tread won't die easily, will it? Anyway, I can't help myself, but these points you made here are just invalid.


What kind of syndrome would that be? Yes, there is some tension between racers and "other-stuff-on-the-track-performers", but really, can you blame racers for being somewhat annoyed when there is a lot of cruisers crying for some cruising specific stuff? Not to mention that 90% of these suggestions are years old and have been discussed to the death.


It's an achievement as anything else it. The fact that you personally don't value it much doesn't change that.


So you're implying that there IS something that gives you the right to be an arrogant egoist?


I don't think that's true. Moreover, why do you think that these "fastest guys" should be setting some sort of example on the forums? I don't think much of us care how good you are at playing LFS because it doesn't matter. Anyone around here has the right to offer help, express his/her opinion or be a dick. It's up to you which way you choose, but just the fact you have few WR's does not predestine you to anything.


This is the only part of your post I agree with. This argument has been stupid from the get go and so am I right now for letting it continue...

well as i agree that its stupid argument ill keep it short, just to answer the questions.

1. What kind of syndrome would that be? --> if you see people in lfs acting like dicks there's 50% they are top of the crop in terms of speed. Now i might be wrong, but thats what i experienced so far. And not only vs. cruisers, but also vs. new guys that came to game recently etc.

2. Well you're right here, nothing is worth of being arrogant egoist, that still doesnt go against my statement that being fast in lfs isnt worth of that too.

3. Why do i think that fastest guys should be setting an example? Well, do we want good and healthy community or no? Putting slower drivers (or in this case, drivers that prefer other styles of driving) down is not really a way to go i believe.


ps : anyhow, my post was directed at core guy, and how stupid is for someone to go on forum of a game that he doesnt play anymore and argue about it with people that actually do play.

try f08 with oval set. that will not start straight when on full throttle!

just saw this and i gotta jump in and say that if you think that cruisers dont need lfs physics and compare them as you did then you suffer of a syndromme that some other "top" LFS racers got too.

Yes, you guys are fast. in a computer game. hat off. But being fast in a computer game is not somewhat of an achievement, and doesnt give you right to be ignorant egoist.

What sucks is that it always come from the fastest guys, you guys should be strongest links in LFS community, helping others, being sensible and not trying to put everyone down basking in your own -self perceived glory-.

Some of cruise people are really fast, and some of fast racers go and cruise sometimes. So anyone that cruise basically cant drift nor race? Sorry to break your dreams, but they can.

im finding rac more and more unsuitable for racing on cargame, because it is too light, easy to crash out by other cars.

i often have problems with xfr's that just bump a bit, but a bit of bump hurts alot in rac. also had funny situation yesterday, was driving for a first time on fe4r with rac, and kinda obviously, my lap was quite slow, i wasnt really pushing, just trying to get an idea of what gear to use for some corners etc., and a guy with fxo just crashes me out from behind because he was sick of driving behind me
