Quote from JJ72 :

I thought learning a track and finding the line was a big part of the fun?

Yeah, but on public servers people pretty much demand that noobs know where to brake and drive immediately. As much as it hurts to say this, I think it may be a necessary evil.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Sorry, but I can not keep my anger within me when I've practised a lot to this race and suddenly it gets ruined by someone. This is what I feel and expressed my anger uncreatively, but quite offensively. I agree this might have been a bit too much, but seeing as it's gone it's basically whatever, now. Sorry for calling you names, but not everyone is perfect :/

I can understand you being angry and I can even understand why you'd protest from your point of view, but you need to learn to control your anger if you want to keep racing in events worth a crap.

Sometimes people get taken out in races; hell, it happens all the way up to MoE/IGTC. You have to realize that this race isn't your last race and there will always be more in the future. Just keep on practicing and driving and I'm sure it'll pay off in the last few rounds.

I got taken out a few laps later in this race, quite unexpectedly, but I didn't get mad at Boothy and call him names, I actually laughed at him when he flipped himself trying to put me right-side-up.


Also a note, if you intend on saying sorry to someone, don't follow it up with ", but...". Excuses water down the apology.

General LFS Discussion.. GTFO If you dont care

Meh, I Only done it to congratulate him..

He said he was going to get it and he got it.

He has Just got his Twentieth World Record - WE1 With a XRR and He is Going completely Mad On Skype.

Congrats

In all seriousness, I wonder if anyone can get a 28

Update to Z28 noob, then take the WR.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Session - Race
your name - 30 N.Puntola
Cars Involved - 30, 22
Lap/time - lap 4/approx 10-15 minutes
description out of your point of view - Number 22 does not notice me and pushes me to grass while I have overlap.

I did this because of M.Booth on the right. He went off track very violently and I was expecting him to re-join sideways or backwards and moves left instinctively. I moved left and lifted the throttle to be cautious about a car that could potentially dangerously rejoin the track.

You had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, didn't notice Boothy spinning around, and went for a rapidly closing gap instead of lifting in a dangerous situation. I would apologize but you called me a faggot after the race so I'm not really feeling all that sorry for you.

Quote from PioneerLv :

O hai, he is my team mate, so it's ok for me, I can see it isn't for you all, it is normal.

Congrats Jarl Teien a.k.a Arox!

At least you recognize your bias.

Quote from mamoru :

can you use that superscript 2 in LFS?

Yeah, when you're editing your name (or saying any message) press the down arrow to the left of the OK button. You can find the squared symbol towards the lower left of the characters. For me, the default language thing is "Latin 1". If you don't see the 2 for whatever you use, click the language name and change it to Latin 1.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

But Andy can do it without hitting the wall...

Oh no doubt, Andy is blazing fast, but he still took the cheap route to get some WRs here. I think if we're going to be fair the proven fast guys should get just as much crap as the guys with 1 or 2 WRs.

As you said, "anyone within the community should know better."

Quote from [DUcK] :

rofl @ that lap. come on, seriously?

You might wanna check out some specific gronks SO3 WRs

Just because it's dishonest and cheap doesn't mean that's not how it's done. I haven't watched every single SO3 WR, but in all the ones I have seen the driver brakes waaaay to late, uses the wall to ditch speed and drives off to the finish.

I'm going to go and watch all the SO3 WRs now, should be fun.

EDIT: Seems I wasn't totally right. arrachee's, NickC's and Karolis's WRs seem to be "clean". Most of the other guys use the wall though.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

and he smashed the wall like a homo

While yeah, no one really cares about one guys first WR, pretty much every SO3 WR hits that wall. It's just how it's done. You can't beat the current WR doing it right.

Um, your computer has some serious issues logitekg25. You should look a little deeper than just deleting whatever it tells you every 5 minutes.

That gives you some information, though I'm not really sure I believe it.

219 right now / 8312 in the past 24 hours / 171653 in the past week

I'm willing to bet 8312 is actually the number of times *a racer* has joined *a host* even if there are duplicates.

i right clicked on it and said scan, and everyone seems to recomend it....except for people here

Antivirus software is like hard drives, you can always find plenty of people who like or hate any of the brands out there.

A bit more exaggerated example:

Then there's this one.



Wait I think I did this wrong.

Quote from jaykay3000 :

I guess you can at least note that gamers gernally never get into win vista and that the steam users at least prefer NVIDIA.

I dunno if you're trying to imply something here or if you genuinely don't know, but Nvidia has always had more market share than ATI, same with Intel over AMD. This is true in the entire market, and the gamer segment.

Quote from jaykay3000 :

It's quite interesting to note that it's intel with nvidia and amd with ati as both processor/cpu % seem to match up about the same.

If you're implying that because Intel and Nvidia both have around 65% market share that the systems are more than likely paired together most of the time, that's a pretty dangerous assertion to make.

#24 Something Awful Racing skin for Round 2


The explanation for this skin is that I was looking for something with reference to "24". I had no intentions of going with the TV show and I ruled out Jeff Gordon for more than one reason. I eventually found the B-24 Liberator, and American bomber used in WWII. This particular one, "Strawberry Bitch" had the number '24' on it and was actually suitable (had a woman who *wasn't* naked for a change) so I chose it. The actual plane is pink because apparently it used to be beige but the sun faded it into a light pink. The pink is also where it got its name.

yea i cant even keep the dam car straight.
i dont really like it.

Isn't it a drift game? To quote the immortal movie that is The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, "If you ain't outta control, you ain't in control."

If the game wants you sideways, go sideways.

Quote from EQ Worry :

Indeed InSim provides lots of data and it is a great option for extending the standard possibilities. Still, I have some suggestions (just a few) for the future concerning InSim data,

Live for Speed > Main > Improvement Suggestions

Quote from EQ Worry :

even one bug to report. Is there any specific place where I should post this or may I try private message?

Live for Speed > Bug Reports > Bugs - Program

Totally unrealistic, that RB4 was staying way too close to the FXO on westhill.

Good video though.

Quote from aroX123 :

Too bad its only 800 voters, what i would suggest that there is an ingame vote thing, when you show server list, before that is comes a vote. same as here. But then there will be atleast 10k voters within 2 weeks or so

Some Valve games have automatic stuff sent (with the consent of the user) so all you have to do is hit "OK" and information about your hardware and drivers gets sent in for very accurate data logging. That would be the idea solution if a) there were more people around to do extra stuff like this and b) if it really mattered for anything.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Were they actually hitting the walls, or was it just connection latency making it look like they were bouncing off the walls on your PC?

Watch almost any SO3 WR lap.

Is there any particular physics reason that we cannot upload Z27 hotlaps? Is it just that no one has updated LFSW to recognize Z27 as a valid patch?
