After searching around the "open circuits" I found a perfect place for a genuine uk banger oval. Unfortunatly there are a couple of barriers in the way.

Please remove the 3 barriers from this piece of city track

Wow, your first post after 5 years of LFS, congrats

Well ya it is a soft hyphen, it won't be displayed in normal circumstances. It will be, if there is a line broken at the soft-hyphen, but we don't want to force a "line break", during wrapping.

Congrats Holmes, boy if I had a nickel everytime I heard "J.Holmes won the race", I would be the richest man in the world. well done Joe

LOL! no the similarity was uncanny

He wont have it for long...

I expected this go ahead break it

Cool layout dude, must have taken you lot of effort! I also enjoyed going out of bounds and drifting into oblivion as if am I a space traveler. Btw what car is that in the video? XRT?

Quote from Jerrenpwnar :

Just one question. Can you get banned for using this online ? just want to be sure

Nice work with it !

No, this just has graphical changes in the form of high res textures, reflections etc, o illegal vob mods etc. You can use it online.

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

Isn't the green illegal in India?

What green? I don't get it. It is a pic of a hummingbird from the net.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Reminds me of the Ben Spies method...

Lol! true, except that I don't learn by picturing the animal LOL!. I was watching that funny Ben video now and I saw one more coincidence, yesterday I looked at KY2 and thought crab, in this video Ben looks at Estoril and I thought, hey it looks like KY2, and then Ben said crab LOL!

LOL!, but in this case, we have not manipulated the image in anyway to make it look like hummingbird or duck etc

Congrats on the 7th position dude, well done! just 0.09 to go

Thnx

Hey you are right about both! Also SO5 looks like a duckling or those plastic ducks which are put in tub as a toy.

Just struck me while I was driving. AS4 looks like a hummingbird. In fact many track seems to have resemblances to common shapes Then again it is subjective.

Hummingbird


AS4

Since you mentioned you don't know how to download the set and also you are not computer savy, I will describe each simple step in detail:

1. In http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu, first click on the mine/bomb symbol corresponding to ur track/car in the matrix, then click on the button that says ".set", against the set you want to download.
There is a "All setups" button on top of the website, which will give you all the sets in that website in a zip.

2. In http://www.setupgrid.net/ , first click the gear wheel corresponding to the track/car in the matrix, then click the "Get set" button, against the set you want to download.

Setupgrid has 3 categories, Hotlaps, sprint and endurance. They are available as clickable thumbnails of car pics, with the selected category being in red and others in black. By default Hotlap category is preselected when you visit the website. There is also a "download all setups" button in the top of the left side panel. Clicking it will give a zip file containing all setups for all tracks/cars under the selected category (say sprint). So doing this thrice for each category, you will download all setups in that website at the moment.

Save your set into <lfs>\data\setups folder.
In case of zips, first extract and then copy all the .set files to the above mentioned folder.

Once the sets are downloaded to \data\setups folder, they will automatically show up below the existing HARD_TRACK, RACE_S sets etc, with their file name, in the right hand side in your Garage (Shift+P).

Quote from Cornys :

Well, it could be a hazard if a newer player choses it without thinking because thye are used to it. It could become a hazard even if the player isn't particularly bad as a racer. Just as a precaution I'd eliminate it, but that is just myself.

Ya correct you have a point

Quote from teppo.jr :

actually RB4 ''RBX'' is used as safety car so no spinning... well lets atleast hope so

Cool, then

Quote from J@tko :

That'll be because by doing that you're only "saving" the tyres when you're on the throttle. They'll still wear/heat up the same via steering.

You are right, we can only reduce one component (torque) of tire wear by moving torque backwards. We can't do anything abt steering tire wear. But the tire-wear due to steering is present RWD as well. So that component is constant. But that said the maximum rear torque possible in LFS in AWD is 95%, so anyways 5% torque will be present in Front, so I guess AWD will always heat up its front more. But then again AWD wont kick its tail out, so rear tire wear will be a bit less than RWD. Especially in my case, I use KB and I am no expert in RWD, so my RWD cars become red hot in the rear after 2 laps LOL

Quote from Sobis :

I'm the one that gave you that setup. That torque movement gave me about 7 more laps if I remmember correctly, but those damn front tyres still got to ~105°C and even 20% (original was 49% and lasted up to 2-3,5 laps) front torque split didn't remove the understeer.

oh yes, thanks, that was a brilliant idea dude. In my case 20% was a bit over steery, so i made it 30% Probably coz of that and esp my driving style+KB, it overheated a bit, and I made 2-3 pit stops Still your set was better than the sets I had with me

Ya, cool. Are you planning to continue the same rule? I think it is good.

Cool, thanks I thought in similar ways about the camber too. Btw why "BWAHAHAHAHA"? is it because my post is too long?

Hi,

What are the parameters you should change between a fast setup and an endurance setup? Some factors may depend on the car. For example in one race I got an RB4 quali setup and he told me he uses the same set for race, only change is he moved more torque to rear, so that front wheels do not overheat in race.

Are there any general principles/parameters which are characteristically different between speed and endurance setups?

Also is it possible to easily convert a speed setup to an endurance one and vice verse or should it again go through from-the-scratch trial and error?

Server name is Ronys Tuesdays Fun Race as mentioned in the OP, but you may not be able to access it unless it is in Demo mode.

Can't see the skin too clearly, but from what I saw, good skin! and great drifting!
