Holy...
Did you happen to remember this track?

errmmm... what do you mean? Yes I remember it. It's the only one I made.

:ices_rofl

You find my name funny!? Why don't you eat it!

Additionally, I'd like to complain that my last name is a curse word in German, so I actually got kicked from a server for filling out my name on the form. Furthermore, my name was not saved in the form.

Hello, Becky and CTRA type people,

Please take a look at this layout and see if like it as much as to implement it on your bump and jump server. Phleeease... (Some people liked it )

update to v1.11

Quote from GodOfDrift :

Hi, I was wondering if S2 is worth buying, Its a bit much for a canadaian.
I can afford it fine. But its a days work :P

I know it will be cool.
But I would like to hear other peoples oppions and find out if the game gets boring. Or in the patches they add new cars and tracks?

Ty,
Jason.

It's definately worth it. A bit much for a Canadian???? Check out the people from Eastern European countries and china playing the game and then come here saying it's a bit much for a Canadian.

Heh. Does anyone else get a chuckle now that he's online at StuntRacing SRV2?

Yeah, who's laughing now, right

What exactly does APEX means?

Sorry for coming into this topic and ask for a thing, just needed to know what that means.

Where do I extract the files to use this program? How do I configure the ports?

Someone please help.

Where do I extract the files to use this program? How do I configure the ports?

Quote from Scawen :

Just so you know, AI is next on my list, they haven't been updated in any significant way since S1 and there are a lot of people who do want to use the AI for some offline racing, so the time has come...

Great news!!

Quote from The Very End :

Damn it sounds anoying to hear that voice all the time. Think of an endurance race, "left, middle right, still there, left, left, middle , right" borring!

But probally very usefull

I'd like to see an endurance race when you are driving laongside somebody all the way. If anything, endurance races should have the filed more spread out than a normal race.

Quote from Sven Menkhoff :

always the same problems

Just play rFactor if you wanna those Custom-Stuff
If you preffer good physics, stay at LFS

god forbid you should have both

Quote from danowat :

Sorry, I disagree........

When a 16 lap race is ruined by a SLIGHT nudge on the side of your car, resulting in a huge uncontrolable 90DEG slide, then the failings in the collision detection system DOES ruin the flow of the game.

I don't think any of us here go looking for contact, infact I would say the vast majority of us avoid it at all costs, but some times a little contact is inevitable, and this small amount of contact shouldn't be punished by a very dodgy collision detection system ruining races.

LFS needs it fixed, and it needs it fixed with some urgency.

I don't remember having this problem since forever. It used to be a factor, but in the last year !?

Quote from The Very End :

I love rFactor.

Quote from fabskimo :

Bullhorn said it:
"You can always try to NOT touch other cars, people don't like it anyway. I've seen people get banned for hardly scratching other cars."

and beside this did you guys ever thought about the fact that you maybe dont know how collisions of cars are really like? i mean come on, we are all playing a game. how many of you did ever crash into another car in reality?
i dont really know what its like. in reality i never crashed my car. i just have my game experiences but i would never say this or that is not very good implemented just because its not like i expect it. think about that...
this game is in progress over years and i think the devs have put so much brain in it. imo it seems pretty real.

(hope my english is good enough)

Ever watched a race on TV when they had a crash!? That's how it looks like.

Quote from Johnny Vet Boy B :

Overall? Superb fun, with one MAJOR reservation.

Good points: amazing car handling physics and force feedback effects (on G25) / menu system and options are comprehensive and logical (it doesn't try to be flashy which I like a lot) / interesting selection of cars / graphics and sound are good enough, although improvments are always welcome.


Not so good points: TERRIBLE car to car (or car to solid "thing" in environment) physics. Just awful. REALLY spoils the bumper to bumper racing feel when a slight nudge or contact seems to forceably throw my car away from the contact point. This ruins the atmosphere and the flow of racing and I will often be thrown off balance and crash. When the rest of the physics seem so brilliant it's utterly bizarre that this is like this.

It is strange how bad collision detection can ruin the flow of the game. I mean what flow are we talking about here if you keep hitting things. You are NOT supposed to hit any other cars or objects.

I agree that the collision detection system could use a makeover, but I don't agree that it ruins the flow of the game. I see it as secondary to handling physics upgrades.

Reading the first post makes me think this could be one of THE historic moments in LFS history. I congratulate and thank everybody who is involved in the creation of this project. Well done indeed!

In life yes, but on forums not!?

Quote from BrandonAGr :

Any other people experience the snap spin if you drop one of the rear wheels off at the exit of a turn in the f1 or other open wheel cars?

Yes, but it should be like that. Did you see this years Le Mans 24 h race , where the Aston Martin came off a turn and wildly spun.

Quote from Calvinaquino :

Hello all. Lets discuss about the cockpit discussion shall we?
I have a theory about people who use and who doesnt use the cockpit view.

Please read the post first THEN take your conclusions.

My theory is that most of (not all) people who use the cockpit and consider it a realistic view, do so because they drive/drove cars in real life. So what i am saying is that most of (you read, MOST OF, not all) people who use views other than cockpit (chase, bumper, custom not in car) maybe havent yet experienced driving a real car. I say this because, say it, if you drive in a real car, and then buy a Simulator that "almost" makes you feel like driving a real car, well, you want to look trought the driver's eyes.

So this is basically it, and now a few observations:
- This is a theory i came up after reading a few of the cockpit view posts. so i may be wrong or not quite right.
- if you drive/own a car in real life AND drive in chase cam or other than cockpit, well youre not different. youre just yourself.

in case anyone asks, i drive my father's car (in real life of course) and use the cockpit view unmodified.(i own a shitty wheel, still waiting for the G25) but i dont own it, so why i play LFS? to feel and do what i cant in real life: Race.

thanks for your time.
.

Well, you got proven wrong. At current moment, it seems that it makes no difference whether you drove a real car or not.

Quote from Calvinaquino :

EDIT: I, in any wait, am saying that if you dont like cockpit view you suck. i dont care. it is just some researching.

Well thanks, I think you suck too.

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

good so

i think rfactor has only an advantage with cutsom cars and tracks.... tried the demo two weeks ago and i uninstalled it 5 minutes later

i will never play another racesim or the "want to be relistic" arcade games like rfactor

LFS was best, is best and will be best

Yeah, but driving around mount panorama in V8's is way cool... AND... it doesn't feel arcadey at all.

Quote from Gabkicks :

This is a serverside OPTION. Scawen could add a keyboard/mouse only serverside option and i wouldnt care, because i could simply choose not to join that server.

You would care if 70% of all racers used keyboard.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I don't think things like physics changes or brake fade are very useful comparisons. Nobody ever complains when the physics change.

Stuff like that is the same for everybody. Whereas in this case, some people feel they've had their driving method ruined or made obsolete - that's why they are angry about it.

I shouldn't really have to explain this...

Quote from AK-Chester :

Hm, I have no idea what you are talking about. "My" server list doesn't look like that at all. It shows (way) more than 5-6 servers with a reasonable amout of players on it, and just a (very) few of them use forced cockpit view. :twirl:

Let's not count the city driving and drift servers, for the sake of argument.
