Quote from Jimmy_Lemon :

yes but thats the point. i dont want to eaven them out. because no one uses the other two for ovaling, they just use xrt, and now xrt is slower..

But they would use the other cars if they were evenly matched. Just give it time and it will be done. This test patch is not final.

Quote from RSchumacher :

man this patch is absolutely amazing ! 28 racers makes the races much cooler, and I have no fps-loss at all. Great, thanks for the great patch, keep on it.

In single player my FPS drops significantly with additional cars. Luckily, my new system components are arriving next week.


So I'm thinking, wouldn't it be better to allow also 28 racers in Single player. So if your system doesn't cut it, you use less AI cars. But for those of us who have just spent quite a lot of money to get a better system we should also be able to utilize it at maximum (please make more AI cars available in Single player).

Quote from Widdowmaker :

1) With space reset enabled - it resets damage (changes tyres for fresh and clear all damage)- it should not do this - as you should have to pit to repair damage

Is this in single player? Cos in single player its always been like this. In multiplayer it obviously should not be so.

EDIT: Apparently there is shorter connection from Finland to the UK than from Estonia.

I think for normal servers the auto kick to spectate on too early race start must stay to protect against wreckers. Hopefully they will be kicked faster than they can hit anybody.

I'll give this a whirl in an hour.

I see the "no reset" option isn't here. God, I hope it makes it into the next version. I really like that LFS is becoming more hard core

yeah, I always wondered why its .net whats the advantage over .com?

Quote from downlikerain :

Ive been playing the s1 and s2 demo for about 5-6 years now. i havnt really seen a need to get the real game becuse all i really did was drag and sometimes drft but now i want to get it..but the question is should i get s2 or wait until s3 becuse there already on patch w

If you buy S3, you have to buy S1+S2 anyway. If you buy S1+S2 now, you get to play S1+S2 now until S3 comes out. There really is no question whether you should buy S1+S2 right now! If you've been playing for 5-6 years you definately should buy it. I think there is no question. Buy, buy, buy!!!

can anyone summarize in 1 or 2 sentences what clipping means?

I would like to have both options, but a pit spotter would be supper. I never race without the kegetys one. However, the developments in the minimap have lately been quite small (dot to arrow, arrow to another arrow, one color to another). So it's not like scawen has gone on a minimap improvement rampage.

Here, I hope we will be discussing improvements to the minimap that are simple (what do I know about programming), yet add a lot of value

Quote from Tweaker :

The arrow for the drivers 1 lap down is indeed too hard to see aswell. Nearly invisible in most cases, and NOT safe at all because you won't see if there is traffic on the map when you go to look ahead of time. There were times I glanced at it and couldn't see a car on the map, but there was one right in front of me a ways down the straightaway. It was lapped traffic.

Just my opinion - I don't find the grey markers too difficult to see.

EDIT: I wish we could customize the colors ourselves. I guess it's too much to ask

Since the patch test forum is hidden, and I can't post in the thread there, I'm writing here.

I think making the racers lap behind grey was a very good improvement - it added a lot of value to the map. However, as a not top tier racer I sometimes find myself racing cars over a lap ahead. Would be good to be able spot those drivers too, so you see the leaders are coming and that you don't need to race the guy ahead.

I recommend the color white for drivers 1 or more laps ahead.

illepall bontemps, you need to sort out whatever is bothering you. Attacking random people will lead you nowhere... fast. Perhaps it's a good idea to take your own advice - go ride your bike etc.

Quote from Preston4321 :

Hello everybody. For some of you, you might know me as Preston4321, RED, FalconF17 and many more names.

I have been "noobing" around and wrecking people on purpose in servers the past few weeks, and It needs to stop. I know I have a problem when it comes to playing right and I acknowlage that. I would like to Publicly Apologize to everbody b/c I've messed up alot of races and racers and I can asure you it WILL NOT happan anymore. I would hope the bans I have gotton in servers would be lifted but if not thats fine its the fact that I apologize that matters to me and hopfully you to.

Also on the other hand if you have any tips for new drivers like myself if you could post them thanks.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. It's funny how you understand that you need to stop only after you have been banned from everywhere.


I say keep him banned for at least 3-4 months. So he can really think it over. If he does it again, ban him indefinitely.

Hello, and welcome to LFS

1. dunno
2. no
3. currently it does not matter which manufacturers tires you use (the text on the sides is just for show). Maybe in a future version of the game the tyre manufacturer makes a difference.

eesti keeles:

1. ma ei tea
2. ei
3. vahet ei ole, et millise "tootja" rehvid all on. Loeb hoopis rehvi tüüp.

The mirror for "hover view" was also in Scawen's "already noted compatible requests" list for the test patches U, but he never got round to it, I guess. So I know he is aware of it and I believe it is on his short-term to-do list.

I, in my ignorance, don't see what could be a problem to implement this (Except having to do some work), so


+1

Quote from vauxmondy :

Will I have to use one of my unlocks though?

Quote from Highsider9 :

Patch T is quite old. Even if it would still be accessible you would need to unlock again, since there where some changes in the unlocking system.

Ps: You can get a new unlock every month until you reach the maximum of 2 available unlocks.

Yeah, vauxmony, you get a new unlock every month (upto two total). And from what I see you haven't used an unlock or even LFS for over a year. So whats the problem?

Sry, guys... sometimes you know what you want to say but don't express it clearly.

Yeah, currently the temporary replay gets deleted when you close LFS. So, when you want to send the temporary replay (the replay of your last race) to someone (friend, moderator) and you have exited LFS (which is a logical thing to do), it is too late - the replay has been deleted. My proposal is to delete/overwrite the temporary replay only when a new race starts.

Quote from CLRS530 :

But yeah bad grammar *gg*

Sry, wheres the bad grammar... I just wasn't being clear.

Temporary replay - delete at new race start instead of after exiting LFS. At current hard disk sizes the extra 1 MB kept on your hard disk until the next race start will not be a problem, I figure.

EDIT (To clarify):

Hmmm... which track has big buildings... hmmm...

Quote from aceracer :

LFS is a multiplayer game. Fullstop. The AI is not worthy to be called that. However no-one cares as no-one is into LFS to play offline...

Opininion is not fact. Fullstop.

yeah, I suggested Andros Trophy type racing for LFS some years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

Quote from BlackEye :

It sure sounds nice but a whole magazine about one game?
I don't think it would work for to long, I mean, LFS News is surerly (spelling?) enough?
