Quote from JTbo :

Why those 7500 can't race together?

They are not organised. You know your solution is not a real solution but an excuse.

Quote from JTbo :

And we are not going to downgrade anything, it is you who are by demanding force cockpit view to be removed if I understand your intentions correctly?

Forced cockpit view is a limitation. You take away a limitation, you add more options. If you switch on a limitation then you are taking away options. It's really that simple.

Quote from JTbo :

And why you are so angry that you have to use dirty words? We can discuss subject politely even opinions might differ as we are intelligent beings, right?

The dirty words were directed at Blackout mainly for his mocking post. They have no business with you.

Quote from Blackout :

Ok, after you've done that you can compare with a second experiment. Train two pigeons to carry video camera behind your car, paint all your windows black and drive it with a monitor in front of you.

Which one seems more realistic?

We all know what is more realistic and what is less realistic, but that's not the point here. You are selfishly demanding to downgrade the experience of 7500 (25%*30000) people because they have an unquantifiable advantage over you. Let's be honest, the advantage is not that big. And make no mistake about it, you are pushing your view on the minority... Demanding a change that will drastically affect how thousands of players experience LFS so that your gaming experience could improve by 0,2%. I can understand you views and I can sympathise with them but seeing your jealousy and egoism on display here, you mocking people with your silly comparisons of some pigeons and black windows makes me want to say to you a big F*CK YOU!

DUDE, you need a cooler looking helmet !! :P I wouldn't be caught dead in an LFS server wearing that

Quote from DevilDare :

credit FTW and congrats nice to see more lithuanian people joining

Yeah, didn't think those guys even have electricity...

So I see you went straight ahead and ignored my suggestion to use Ayrton Senna or Ralf Schumacher as "S" !?!

And surely "P" will be Piquet not Prost. Piquet is just way cooler...

I don't own a Track IR myself, but I vote for maximum realism. In road car you get to look like you get in a real road car. In a race car you get to look like you get in a real race car, etc... If track IR users have it a bit better than others, so be it. They paid a lot of money for that gadget so they should get their moneys worth. As long as its realistic, I wont mind. It's not like they are driving 1 second a lap faster because of it. The edge, if any, will be not worth bickering about.

Merry Christmas Gai-Luron and thanks for a great mod

Quote from Polyracer :

To be honest, I have upgaraded but I still only race on the Demo sure there are plenty of nobheads goin the wrong way etc etc, but I have also had some very good racing too.

Man, I don't remember anyone going wrong way for 2 years or smth...

Quote from duke_toaster :

It is easy for at least the first five though.

The other option is to name it after drivers i.e. Patch Ascari, patch Brabham, Clark, Delius,

Yeah, wait till we get to "S". If it's either Patch Senna or Patch Schumacher, it's going to be a flame war like no other

Quote from duke_toaster :

I suggest using the Greek alphabet. People know it and it's pronouncable in other languages. Or just use umlauted characters where possible.

That's actually not a great idea, because people won't understand the order (unlike with normal numbers and letters).


Let see now, I got Live For Speed 0,5 Omicron. Now is that newer version than Live For Speed 0,5 Upsilon?

Quote from Victor :

Last week i went to my first trackday (at Zandvoort) and one of the things i noticed afterwards was that i couldn't tell my top speed or anything - i never looked or glanced at my speedo at all. Was quite a surprise, but the whole sensation just makes you forget about that needle (that and paying attention to the other cars on the track). It's all forces and sound that tell you when to throttle or brake.
Though I can imagine when you get used to driving fast for real, you start to have time to pay more attention to the little things like your exact speeds.

What car did you take to the track day?

Quote from MyBoss :

Or he could use æ, ø, å. Or maybe even ó, á and é.

these are unsuitable - I can't pronounce them

In Estonian we got "Õ", "Ä", "Ö", "Ü"... feel free to use 'em, Scavier

Quote from aroX123 :

Best suggest evver!

lol... better than gridgirls!?!?

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I just had a thought, perhaps the Chicane Route we have now was rushed out to replace the actual new layout. That section looks like it is half finished, and was intended to be used. So maybe, Eric was busy making it when the V1 guys came calling, and then he had to work on the FBM instead of the track. Maybe the big section was meant to be the suprise, until the FBM came along.

That's a very plausible explanation...

Quote from farcar :

The changes feel a bit more subtle that your illustration.

love ur avatar

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

I bet the devs are all having a good laugh at us right now

for sure

Quote from ste_ :

Some screenies

Can you check if version X10 or X or an earlier version had that road?

Quote from Kdovi :

Hehe, you are like one of those GTA4 fans - they see one screenshot and start searching for something interesting under 1600x zoom
Now seriously, how long did it took to you to find?

I didnt look for anything, I just stumbled upon it.

This thread is pure speculation on my part just to keep the rumors rolling and take some attention way from the tragedy that has struck the Broke Dorifto Society.

Whilst browsing the LFS page I noticed new pictures of the tracks. With South City I noticed smth strange (see below picture)





With red color I have highlighted a whole section of a never before track area (see red line on above picture). A link to this area existed before patch X11 (see green circle #1). However, green circle #2 indicates a section that has been modified with the recent changes to SC track. Here is a closer look at it:



Arrow #1 indicates curbstones that were removed with the latest patches. There used to be curbstones but there aren't any anymore.

Arrow #2 indicates new curb. Question: why would you have a curb like that? The curb strip should stop where the track stops and not go further to the other unused road. The only reason to put a curb like that is if you were going to use it.

Arrow #3 indicates dark grey area - there is no textures there.

Another angle of the same place:


Please note on the above picture that catch fencing continues to the unused road, but stops after a short while. Please also note there is no real scenery there, although there is a few buildings. Question: why would you have catch fencing there ? Only tracks have catch fencing. Access roads do not have it. Ofcourse there is a chance its there to keep the pedestrians/fans off the track, but in that case you would have the top part of the fence the other way - to make it harder to climb over, not easier.


My speculative conclusion: They are considering another layout for SC. However, they have decided not to do it just now, but somewhere down the line. Possibly even not do it - maybe plans will change/plans have already changed. Just in case they have changed the track curbing to suit the new track if it should come along. As it is likely the PB's and hotlaps will be reset at this stage, changing the curbs now prevents the SC hot laps being reset at a later time when the new track is possibly included and this change would have to be made - changing this curbs characteristics and affecting all laptimes using this section of the track.

The track itself seems to be already layed down as you can see from the map, but there is no scenery (buildings or textures) for the area - it has not been developed.

EDIT: Green circle #1

Just lookin at the Westhill track description on liveforspeed.com:

"Westhill
In West-England you find the 5.2 kms long Westhill circuit. The track, situated in a farming area, provides fast and wide turns, spiced up with two interesting chicanes and the widest and most beautiful finish-straight in S2 with a "no look" turn 1"

I never heard this term "no look". Shouldn't it be "blind"?

Quote from tristancliffe :

It's a car with the stickers on the wrong way round on one side

Is that true?

Doesnt a company own the rights to "ghost car" and they actually sued many game developers a year or two ago...

A shame though, cos it was real fun taking on myself with Kegetys' mod

Here's a shot of the McLaren steering wheel with cursor roll-over function. Notice 3 dials for differential and 1 dial for lowest available gear. (if you select "4" then you cant change to a gear lower than fourth). Also notice menu scroll buttons (green) and "enter" button (black with white cross)

Hello,

After you launch LFSRelax, then screens will start displaying "fuel" and "drivers behind". Please see attachment. Is it possible to do so that they are displayed only at race?
