Yeah I love the LX6s screaming little racing engine but it isn't really like anything that exists.

search youtube for blade r1 gsx etc powered kit cars, there is a twin blade engined kit car, the blade engine is(the old one atleast) a 900cc v4 powerplant, most bikes from that era had single point injection aswell, they produce around 150-160bhp on there own so 2 engines would be more like 300, when its in a car that weighs no more than half a tonne it goes like stink so the lx6 isnt so unrealistic

my car in real life is a 1.4i 16v no idea what bhp it is, but it only revs to 9 and the limiter stops it at 7.5, its a honda engine so its made to take abuse, the car itself is pokey as shit straight upto 70 and will carry on to around 110-120, 120 would be flat out tho, it has no power untill around 3.5 4k and once it hits that mark its off and has the power to just keep pullin, i raced my mate in his bmw 316e36 rollin start in 2nd at around 30-35 so we were both in the power curve, he couldnt leave me at all, i was glued to him, he pulled over to let me past and i couldnt overtake but he wernt leavin me, now hes in a bmw wich is a entry level performance car in its own right and im in a rover, a big heavy family car wich cost me 100 quid, cars can surprise you in rl so there shouldnt be any exceptions in a game

i had a g25 for a while and it wernt all that, eventually sold it to some chap from coventry, wouldnt mind another one now tho, i was racin on rfactor and race at the time, played tdu a few times with it aswell but it didnt really feel like it was worth the money i paid for it

Yea I guessed there would be but I was thinkin more of an official(sp) server. Problem with teams runnin these kind of servers is its as and when they feel like it, where as an official(ffs) server could be set to be open at certain times and have dedicated tutors. So many ppl sign up for the treatment and have time specailly allocated to them to be able to learn, so if 10 ppl sign up, work out a time where its convenient for all and get on the server, that way there is no interference of any kind.
Tutors are also server admins so once the players are in lock the server and get down to buisness, obviously no1 wants to wait around for newbies to show up so if its all pre agreed and set then its set, if theres not enough intrest one week then dont hold it, or to much intrest then split it over a few hours. Could dedicate diff countries diff tutors, that way the timezones would match.
Like I said its just an idea, im sure there are some ppl who would like this kind of thing, plus im sure there are loads of drivers who are more than capable of trainin others who would like to help, the community for lfs is amazin so why not put it to good use.

u forgot paragrahs

the way i see it, its a lot easier to learn from followin someone than to keep watchin replays and go out in single player, within a couple of laps of followin someone u can judge where to brake, where to hit the throttle where to turn in, with a decent instructor they can provide all that needs to be known, if they are within a few tenths of the wr's then at 5-10 seconds below that time they can show the exact lines that needs to be taken, plus take the time to see where ppl might be goin wrong, my idea was if there are say 3 instructors, 2 on track and 1 speccin, they can all give out their own advice, the faster drivers can do with one instructor the slower with another and the instructor speccin can just go over each driver and see how they are doin, give little tips here and there, the drivers who show signs of improvment can go to the other instructor and learn to go a little quicker and have more detailed instructions on where they might be goin wrong, this leads onto solvin a few problems(hopefully) like ppl goin on servers who have no racin etiqute(sp) who dive for the inside line even tho its blatanly blocked, or who cant hold off on corners and just barge their way through, it teaches the newcomers where to pass, where their strong points are on laps, just like in real life takin some risks lead to slower lap times and loss of places, whereas a carefully well thought out pass can lead to higher places without any fuss, this is where i mentioned the points scheme, could introduce an honour scheme(like aa) where to join some servers u need so much honour, wich could be given out by instructors or server admins, good behaviour and respect to players etc earns u honour, whereas bein a nob takes honour away, its an incentive to drive well and drive respectfully, obviously other drivers have their own views but this could work out well if it was executed properly(again insert ur own grammar)

this dosnt apply to me but it might arouse some intrest for some, how about some track day style servers, where there are so many instructors and so many drivers, host a dedicated server where ppl who are genuinly intrested in learnin the correct lines could follow an instructor and learn them, learn braking points, learn correct entry/exit lines etc, if everyone used some voice program, teamspeak etc they could actually listen to the instructor, so if the brakin point is 150 then he could tell them 150, this also leads onto a lot of things, the instructors could simply spectate and pass notes, give them advice on where to turn in, when to hit the gas on corners, they could give tips on where they might be goin wrong on different sections of track, where they could gain a time and where they should hold back to avoid under/oversteer, im sure it could be set up if the intrest is there, there are a lot of ppl who want help and im sure there are a lot of genuine racers who wouldnt mind teachin, with a dedicated server wich is purely for newbies to learn on it could be quite a hit with new racers, again this could lead onto a points scheme, where to race on certain servers u have to of completed or be ranked high enough by the instructors to say that u are a competent racer and understand the rules, the lines etc, just a thought(insert ur own grammar i cba)

i probably should of said aswell, im not a fan of racin, i dont race online, just mess about for an hour on single player, not even with ai just hot lappin, either tryin to beat previous times or driftin, i play just to kill time nothin else, wich is why i asked for some times to try and achieve

hi all, id just like some realistic target times to try and achieve really, i dont play this game to be in a team or race in tournaments etc i just play when im bored so some realistic times to try and match or beat would be ideal, ill stick with blackwood for now, and the cars, xrgt, fzr, and bf1, i cant remember my times for the other 2 cars but i just got a high 58 in the bf1 wich im pretty chuffed bout, been gettin high 1.02's consitantly then all of a sudden they came down, but(typical newbie) ran out of fuel on a lap where i was beatin my splits, 2 corners from the finish line and i conk out , im not gunna bother with setups etc cos to be honest i cant be bothered i just want some times to try and match or beat please

ive got patch x, is there any way of havin the full version of v without buyin it again, ive already paid 24 quid for x so i dont wanna buy v, i only wanna mess with the xrt do the creators have leway on this kind of thing, like let me have the full version of v for free, i have already paid for x so they have my money and wouldnt be losin anythin

not for me, i like to session a track and see all my lurvly black lines, looks quite pretty with consistant drifts

Thats pretty much what im after, im not playin this game for good lap times perfect drift combos etc, im playin it for the giggles. I quite like the idea of havin the turbo set to ridiculous mode, ive been messin with the sound settings and kinda achieved what i want, i can get it to atleast sound like there is a decent powercurve ie the exaust tone goes higher as the wine of the turbo kicks in, makin it sound like increased power, but its still not what i want. Rooble if u could let me have that program with a quick readme on how to work it i would be mucho gratefull, even if it dosnt get the results i want it would be cool to mess around with.

i just wanted to make the xrgt turbo a little more pokey really, ive not got the knowledge to mess with it enough to make it summat specail, the thing i really want is to make it actually seem like the turbo is kickin in, so there is an actual kick from the turbo, at the minute theres nothin wich if youve been in a turbo car you kno is very wrong, there is an increase in power around 4.5 5k but i want it to feel like a turbo, instead of me messin with it and ****in it up, any chance of someone else doin it for me, bit more power, not to much but so it actually seems like the turbo is kickin in...please

ok im proper new to this so be patient, ive brought the s2 license, at 24 english pounds i had to, ive been playin and love it, but ive been readin bout the lfstweak, i downloaded but its for patch v and ive got x, is there a version for x, i only want to mod the xrgt turbo, ive read on other threads that lfstweak will only do demo cars wich the xrgt tubro falls into, does a version for patch x exist yet?
