I think the RPM gauge is pretty good, at least i can see it :P
While that of "keeping it in your mind", the speedo, or the RPM's i agree is not very... nice O_o. If is about realism, IRL you CAN SEE the gauges correctly, not like in LFS where the gauges are... "minimalistic"
Plus, is true that the virtual ones are ugly to use it in the cockpit

OK. y gracias por la bienvenida, entretenida carrera ^^, lastima que por aqui estaba cortandose la luz a ratos :/

oh no no, no lo decia por eso, era para tratar de aclarar el toque, ya que me quede con la duda si habre metido la pata o no, ya que Alvaro perdio bastantes posiciones por eso y veces en la carrera las cosas se ven "diferentes", y ahora me percato de que no tengo el replay ya que perdi la conexion ese dia pf.

Es cierto que los accidentes son comunes, de lo que llevo corriendo lo se por experiencia, suelen pasar a menudo, la idea es tratar de evitarlos en lo posible, con el tiempo uno se va haciendo menos agresivo.
De hecho me han tocado secciones incomodas en las que me vienen tomando ventaja y normalmente prefiero facilitar un poco la adelantada para no acabar volando tambien :P, y luego recupero la posicion... y la verdad es que a veces aun tengo la mala costumbre de hacer el tipico gesto de con el coche de "ni lo intentes"

Lo siento Alvaro, el toque salio bastante peor por tema de lag supongo, mis disculpas.

anyway, tengo algo que acotar a ese toque :/.
Si ves el replay, no tenia mas espacio, ya mas no podia correr. normalmente si ya se esta al lado antes de entrar a la curva, la curva se comparte, pero alvaro tomo la curva como uno normalmente lo haria llendo solo @_@, de modo que el toque era inevitable, o me tiraba volando al pasto(lo cual no me parecio ya que segun vi tenia suficiente auto metido para tmar la linea interior), o frenaba... lo cual tampoco me aprecio adecuado por lo mismo que ya dije (). Alvaro me encerro un poco feito, y fue algo que no me esperaba la verdad... en una de esas no tenia suficiente auto metido , aun no he visto el replay.

1.-not whinning.(maybe the wrong topic then :P)
2.-Even the digital speedo is more realistic than the virtual ones... so useless...
3.-I'm saying that is a problem for the pitlanes, is a bit dumb have to "remember" where the needle has to be to know when you are doing 80

that's all

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I think that with the new cockpits we are getting better reading on the dials and Scawen is preparing us for that with removing the digital one..
I would rather look at the analog masterpiece of Eric's work than to look at those calculator digital numbers..

Hope so, since i can't see anything with the actual speedo in TBO class for example, and not just me i think, i guess that everyone has the same problem(90FOV)... AND YES! a good visible speedo is necesary, for the pitlanes where you cant go blind on what speed are you doing since is limited, and these cars don't have speed limiter. Well... you can try to remember where the uber-little "80"(kp/h) is to navigate good trough the pitlane, but that's just ridiculous

The pitlane limited speed was the only thing making me to use the digital speedo, because i don't use it for any other purpose :Pç
PD: possible solutions are a better speedo. Get back the option to make it digital or make a funny function button to make a zoom at the speedo :P

yup , just like that. For the MRT since is a little, sweet, hell of fast car

Im ok without this aids but... just thinking that blipping when you have autoclutch on is a bit hard to do, since you have to get used to the timing of the AUTOclutch... wich is a bit fast

nice driving there! o.o
nice layout too

i would be very thankfull if someone have a good layout with cones, we were looking for layouts but we only find things with barriers or crazy obstacles(wich are fun but not aproppiated for the event we're planning).
I tried to do some lyts but i dont fell they are very good, and the time trial thingy is next week(anyway i will keep on trying to do something good, maybe i come up with something).
Well, thanks in advance.

PD: oh, we are from the Chilean Community of LFS (www.lfs.cl) im one of the admins( out of two :P, racer556 isnt one but he is helping me with this and we're team partners ^^ ). It's just a little forum by now, since we aren't a lot of players (just 40 or 50 active drivers, and half of them and a bit more are demo players).

Im really really happy about the improvementes to make LFS a better, more realistic race simulator, while more complex is more fun ^^.
At the start i had to get used to the new things and all, getting out my bad habits.
Loving the patch, and hoping that LFS get even more realistic and harder, theres a lot to do, but im very happy with this getting better little by little

I'll join the "We're glad LFS is harder and more realistic now" club

:balloons:

how can you possibly do something so stupid?

i bet he has another account with S2

+1
actually have centering spring on and no FF is a bit... dumb
i play with 101% FF in profiler and in LFS too, also with centering spring deactivated

Quote from mattlikespeoples :

everyone knows the damage/collision system in LFS is in need of some serious work. I've gone through many a barrier with out a single dent if done fast enough. XRT haulin butt down blackwoods back straight can get plenty of speed. leave the poor guy alone. There's not a single scrap of evidence to support that this guy uses a cracked version

there is not a single scrap of evidence that he is not using a cracked version either. that's the problem. Looks more like a ramp rather than crashing, thats is.
We aren't having the photos showing there is no ramp in that jump to prove it's not a cracked game =/

maybe problem of PC specs?
He already tried with an older LFS version an worked fine, maybe it's LFS

that will be good

by steering aid, you mean "keyboard - stabilised"?, it's still there

i dont think its a copy, is not a very good video either but, it's just some sort of tribute, you know, a fan of GT and LFS based on GT1 intro for his video :P
a very old video but very good. at least i liked it.
"Kraniwani - Just racing"

it looks and sounds pretty nice

Quote from Ascari race resort Site :

The area also doubles as a karting track or alternatively it can be set for you to try your hand at our "slalom challenge"
...
The special surface it can be used dry, or at the touch of a button it can be sprayed with water to simulate rainy conditions

yep, im pretty sure that in practice mode is disabled

Quote from Patussay :

instead of that, i think it would be nice to drive from pits to the start grid, a little detail that would make the game a bit better. obviously after qualyfication(if there is) you have to park in the pits, and then when the race its going to start, you have to drive to the grid

Quote from Falcon140 :

i like that..

but only for long league races.

hmm, yeah, it wouldnt be very usefull for pick up races were everyone wants to race "now now now!". But i think it would be nice as a option for league races, i dont see nothing bad having it as a option, it could be a nice addition to the game experience in leagues

you mean the peace car or the pace car
that peace car as a pacecar could be nice

instead of that, i think it would be nice to drive from pits to the start grid, a little detail that would make the game a bit better. obviously after qualyfication(if there is) you have to park in the pits, and then when the race its going to start, you have to drive to the grid

it works fine for me.
next step, make it real

one of the best threads so far, if you ask me

Quote from DeKo :

according to gamespot there are different difficulty settings, im guessing that its on like lowest or something. apparently the top is pretty simish

according to gamespot... they dont know nothing about sim racing, please
according to them Gundam battle assault was bad becaus the (really big) gundams moved too slow... y would take a look to players review, except the fanboys reviews , who call the game as the better sim there is.
