What exactly is the difference between a team and a clan?

we already got a "stars and stripes" team* but thanks for stoppin by i guess

*stars and stripes sim racing

How to suck less? :3

You have to "jump" the start bit a bit. The light always goes green at the same time so you should be able to predict it. I can get as low as 13.18 doing that.

#24 Something Awful Race 1 and Evergreen skins.

Quote from ivantod :

why do U post your skin in test race skins topic?
Test race is over

This thread used to just be "Skins thread" but then deko changed it to Round 0a only.

Quote from Maelstrom :

I found it.

The axis were locked (defult setting). I unlock tham and it worked.

Thanks for the help

What you want to do is unlock them, then move EVERY axis through it's full range of motion, then re-lock them. Turn your wheel full left-right, press all your pedals all the way down then let them go back up.

When you re lock the axises it keeps the settings how they should be. If you don't lock them you may have to recalibrate every time you start LFS.

That guy was spewing venomous comments at everyone in his team (before deko deleted the posts). It's hard to tell what's true and what isn't in this situation.

Oh yeah, leave at the round you actually have a chance of a good finish.

They left because of this:

Quote from R.Kolz :

D.Ratcliffe joined F1rst
P.Mante joined n!faculty

With FZR drivers taking alternatives, we had to withdraw from the ongoing MoE season.

Two of the three guys who raced in the 1st round of MoE aren't on their team anymore. They don't have enough guys who drive the FZR.

There's some here. Missing quite a few events worth though:

Quote from L@gger :

Because skilled people now wont be that in front like before.

This is not true. The good drivers are still good drivers. Being able to have a bit more brake stability is not going to all of a sudden make the midpack and back markers BETTER than the front runners. At best it'll put them a little closer. For two drivers of equal skill, if one uses ABS and one does than yes it will change things, but it's not the drastic change that you're making it out to be.

Quote from L@gger :

For example demo users will race this style. Then they will get s2 and ramm people and flat their tyres...

This is also not true, and hardly a point worth bringing up. In some of the less powerful cars you can already brake full force for most of the braking zone, ABS isn't going to change all that much when your car isn't going that fast anyway (as is the case with the demo cars).

You're worried over nothing, the fastest drivers will stay at the front by virtue of their skill. Most of them will switch to using ABS because hey, it's there, why not use it? The cars that have ABS should realistically have it, the cars that shouldn't (GTRs) don't. I don't see what anyone who is striving for realism in this simulator could find wrong with ABS.

Now that is something awful...

It's you. You're something awful.

#24 Something Awful's skin for Race 1

Quote from L@gger :

and now tell me how could andy made 0.5sec improve with xrt so1rev? Abs is really a big advantage at technical tracks!

Andy is fast. That's how. He doesn't have almost 80 WRs for nothing. You can see WRs dropping by up to .4-.8 seconds even this far after the last major patch. Yeah the ABS helped but that's just how it is. The fast drivers are still going to hold the WRs because they're still the fastest drivers.


I don't see why there would be a server option to dis-allow ABS. It's not the same as "cruise" or force cockpit view. None of the other server options (to my knowledge) affect the actual physics or driving, only the way you're allowed to experience it.

Quote from Tomhah :

Depends

Good luck then.

Quote from Tomhah :

seems a bit weird that 2nd place has 57 laps, while 1st place got 42 xD

Are you gonna race anymore in GTAL since you left SRLT?

Quote from jaykay3000 :

I think people should do some tests in a race to see really if abs is 'better', you still need good car controll and over 5 or 10 laps non abs may be just as good.

Abs is only on 5 cars and these appear to be the more 'squishy' cars like the rb4 the more race road cars like the rac still do not have it.

As you point out 5-10 laps may not make a difference, but in longer races ABS will help prevent wheels locking up, flat spotting, excessive tire heat from braking, all which will gain you quite a bit of time later on when your tires are still in good shape as opposed to the poor soul locking up his XRTs front left to the point that it's basically as red as a baboons ass.

Quote from Bokujishin :

ABS can be turned off, too... Turning tire wear off isn't exactly the same, it would just be unrealistic, while turning ABS off is, well... something you CAN do.

A filter/option to force racing without ABS could be nice if you want to have the "racing excitment" with road-going cars.

Anyway, as a demo player, everything works for me in Z25, no probs so far.

The issue with what you're asking is that all of the other flags (force cockpit view, cruise, reset) have not affected the actual physics of the car driving, only the way you experience it. It's a simulator, ABS is something realistic to simulate. The developers (so far as I can tell, this is obviously not the word straight from their mouth) seem to be striving for hardcore realism, not hardcore difficulty.

It means deko is a noooooooooooooob.

I think he's questioning how some of us did 57 laps when the leader only did 42.

Quote from dekojester :

However, in future, we do recommend waiting until you see no cars within the same 1000-2000m of track as you are.

1-2 kilometers? Aww deko I thought you were more worldly than that.

Quote from msk :

It also changes colour of speed display in fxr, fzr and mrt. Is it bug or feature?

FZR and FXR use the dashboards from the FZ50 and FXO. When they get their updated interiors this wont happen anymore.

Yes, you see the TCP thing in the lower right? Make that enabled and all the hosts will show up.

Nice numberplate. credit for it would have been nice. no big deal though

Quote from Calvinaquino :

I hope some people can read that in the quote, Scawen mentions Rockingham and the new car being on the INITIAL content for S3.

He also quite clearly said that people shouldn't buy S3 on the promise of more content, because he was making no such promise.
