Quote from krslim :Lol, same here, LFS popped into my head for some reason & I thought I bet that patch is still not out.
You know what will happen, by the time this new tyre model comes out it will already be outdated due to there being no tyres or roads in the future & everyone either teleporting or using automated flying machines

So then LFS should become a teleportation or automated flying machine simulator instead? :P I'd still be happy with roads and tyres in LFS

Quote from Sobis :Go back to cruise...

Oh wait, you're already there! Online at: [TC] CityDriving One

Your point being?

And to answer the topic question, a mountain pass would keep me satisfied for a long while.

I'd get the G27 over the 911 one. Trust me when I say that G27 is one heck of a wheel. The G25 is awesome and the G27 is practically the same wheel with helical cut gears to make it more silent

Quote from Myffe :Except some people can't stand cargame because of the 9001 different classes

EDIT: or the ladder system, if I want to race with gtr, I wan't to do it immediately. Not like in cargame where you have to start with xfg or xrg...

Indeed, which is why I always get bored of cargame. You race against LX6's and stuff and the fastest thing you are allowed to drive is FXO.

Quote from VinceKouki :yea, when i increase it to a point (95 ingame) the FFB stops being smooth, and feels "shaky"

You could see if it's strong when it calibrates. Check the profiler settings.

No, because it doesn't make any sense.

I don't play it that much, mainly because I cba getting all the G25 stuff out. But I still have interest in the development (may it be slow)

1. Very realistic handling (with the proper input device)
2. Very good networking
2.1 No damn lerping tyvm
2.2 Very good server system
2.3 Chat system

3. Graphics are good (using high-res textures and ENB series)
4. Diversity. You can play the game however you want. Some people disagree though but this is my opinion.
5. No EA money hunger

Gotta say, awesome pics. What kind of lens is that? Is it super expensive?

Quote from Denny12 :@ All cruisers: You want open world map, sirens, and all other nonsenses, but you are just blaming each other for your problems and spamming forums. You think you will get any priority in LFS with that?

Because it's totally 'all the cruisers' who have been posting memes for the last page.

Quote from Denny12 :Also love how the owner of the server wants his topic to be closed just because he run out of arguments..

Actually, he wants the topic closed because it turned into an argument, which wasn't the intention of the topic. I bet he could keep on arguing for pages if he wanted to.

Quote from eddy678 :No not at the moment but someone will say or make a new thread which is something like "Yes this I want a mountain drift course and police cars and pedestrians and a bmw m3 gtr and explosive stuff like in gta and breakable buildings and and and and and and and and......"

How is that relevant to this topic?

Quote from eddy678 :Since LFS is a racing simulator, and drifting is sort of racing, then its a yes from me . But keep in mind, people will want stuff like open world maps like you get in need for speed, and other add ons which relate to cruising and not racing...so people, try and keep this topic or other polls on the Racing side of LFS not cruising.

No one is talking about cruising here though

Quote from smove :This one is exceptional! Any chance of a high-res version?

Ty Unfortunately I couldn't find the original full-scale of that particular shot but I have another one from the same scenery (not as good though I think)

This is the largest one I got from the same shot

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Those gauges are drawn by LFS from the EXE directly, not from info from any LFS data files. The only thing I could think of is your GPU overheating or otherwise failing. That can cause weirdness like textures drawing to the wrong place.

Do other games exhibit similar weirdness, or does LFS fail similarly in other cars or have other graphical artifacts?

A vob mod can cause this too though.

Quote from ToxicKlay :"Ackermann"? I do believe we use a different term in America, because I have NO idea what that is. Googling "car ackermann" doesn't help me figure out what I need to change in the settings. Maybe I am just stupid

It's called parallel steering in LFS. Basically, the inner wheel steer more than the outer. With 0% parallel steering your loaded front wheel can steer further out while drifting so you can get more angle. However, it makes the other wheel steer less so as the load shifts between your front wheels you get an unstable drift. With more parallel steering (aka less ackermann) you get less steering angle but a more balanced drift.

Joystick is indeed the best you can get. It gives you an axis input for the handbrake. If you can find a way to hook a real handbrake up to a joystick potentiometer, you got yourself a nice handbrake.

Quote from ToxicKlay :Hey guys; I love drifting but I always seem to end up with sets that are meant for wheels like the G27. My old (hailing from 2003) Logitech Wingman MOMO Force has 270 degrees of rotation; does anyone have a solid recommendation for someone with such a limited turn range?

You want to make sure your setup is error friendly. Negative front camber and stiff front springs. Removing the ackermann can also help if you're having trouble 'balancing' the drifts. You want understeery setups basically because they don't require the same precision when driving.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :You are calling drifters girls, because real men drive their cars around a track as fast as possible.

A very strange definition of manliness.

You should mount that shifter down in waist level.

Quote from Omar1 :here's a bad quality video of me drifting a few laps

This comes as a surprise to me. Judging from the video it seems that there actually is collisions on this map.

It's comparable to drawing a course out with chaulk. It's still a course but nothing happens if you crash. All though, since there is no elevation changes going on it's no more interesting than a normal autocross layout IMO.
