Sure no problem

Funny thing is even though many people do not like his video/drift skills, ironically because of the same reason its becoming a hot topic. This thread would not have been this hot if his drift was "good" LOL! I too am adding to the popularity of this thread with one more reply.

To the OP, at least you could have selected spectator camera view. The follow view is not aesthetically pleasing And probably you could have posted drift video of say RB4, it will stay in drift forever

MJL1966, glad you found fewer asshats at AMG, but mocking and passing sarcastic remarks on the people like me (and everyone else who replied to this thread with +ve comments) who are trying to help you out is not appreciated.

Awesome work dude! This perfect for UFR, especially UFB

Sadly these hacks are being used by many people, for quite sometime, especially on demo servers where even if banned they will come back in new account after 10 minutes . Hope it is disabled somehow

First of all I don't get why I am stuck driving slower cars just because I don't have enough rank in that particular server. It's NOT like I have never drivern FXR at AS3 before, just that I am new to this server. It is bad for both other people and himself that one is forced to use a slower car which one may not comfortable with. I am not arguing with the procedure or rules, but can anyone enlighten me why as to why there is this restriction of class by rank?

Yes it happens when many servers give u "Can't reply" Two things you can try.

1. Try setting the filter to a particular car and then Refresh. It seems to show up previously missing servers atleast for me. (Example, I see 4 servers which run FXR when no filters are applied, but say I can see 8 when I apply FXR filter and search only those).

2. Login to LFS World at www.lfsworld.net . Click on "Racers and hosts online" It will show up almost all the servers.

Sometimes it happens if you Alt+Tab away from LFS when it is connecting. Stay on the screen and try again

Also I would like sort order based on % in addition to absolute difference in "Racer details" in Hotlaps. Absolute difference is kind of misleading. For example one could do a really good lap of KY3 in UF1 and have an absolute difference of 3 seconds(1.5%) to WR. On the other hand one could do a bad lap of KY1 in BF1 and have a difference of 2 seconds(6.4%) to WR. But the sort will list the KY1/BF1 lap first because it has lesser absolute difference. This is where % becomes accurate as it automatically takes into account cars/tracks variations. I really needed this feature when I wanted to see which are the hotlaps I needed to improve the most.

Dude, check out our replies to your previous threads, don't give up now, you are missing some great fun, Come to ![amg] gti motorsport today. Tell me when you are coming, I will be there, and make sure you are well treated

Quote from Franky.S :

what advice is this?

Read his post, he uses false start so that the server (it is configured that way in many servers) takes him back to pits, so that he can start from back of the pack. That's what he has been doing lately so I said either use that or go to the edge of the track and drop to back of the pack. My main point was to try dropping back of the pack in some way or another. And I am not just inventing this. When I started out many people in servers advised me the same (dropping back to the tail), so that with the T1 fear out of the way, you can concentrate on controlling the car and THEN once you are comfortable you can race with the pack. How else do you expect him to take BL1 T1, with a PB of 1:41.xx and with early braking etc? This was a temporary solution till he is confident.

Do you have any other solutions?

Also there is another post by him, where he says AI rams him from back etc. So he is new to this, and he is learning. Racing with the pack to T1 is the least of his problems now. Having said that a better solution is to flash "Learner, pls be cautious while passing" at the start of the race, as I mentioned in my previous post. Any good/experienced driver should understand this message flashing and support such a person, I know I would.

Well I assure you will get faster times soon, but as of now with 1:41 which is 8.xx seconds slower than WR, and with many racers who have 1:33.xx times, I think it is best to false start, else you can go to the side of the track and drop to the back. BL T1 can be intimidating and even when experienced racers are racing, some contact is inevitable. Probably you can use the LFS suggested racing line by pressing "4" till you get a hang of it. As of now work on your racing techniques and master the track and car. You can go to ![AMG] Gti motorsport as well, it is a good server with patient people. Also in case you do want to go with pack you can flash a chat message like "Learner, please be cautious while passing!" In time you will be up there with the guys, don't give up

Let me try adding some good servers apart from what Silverracer has mentioned

1. [pfh] gtr (my team server
2. ![amg] gtr motorsport
3. ![amg] gti motorsport
4. There is 1 or 2 by dominant monkeys. But not able to get the server name now.
5. Redline Racing has 9 servers. 5 demo and 4 Liced.

There may be more good servers but I may not have tried them out. Jump in any of these servers. You will find helpful encouraging people there, who even without asking will spectate your driving and give you live commentary/tips on each corners, share you many setups etc.

Man, I don't want to judge the idea, because different people will have different preferences, so each of us may want different things. But I think this would take it away from what it is, a racing sim, Next thing I hope people won't ask features like they can steal another car and kill other people and run over them etc. But having said that, what the OP wants is I think what many cruisers love, may be can spawn into another sister game, called LiveforCruise/Drift etc, with same physics engine

But regarding night, You know what will be great. Real time lighting. For example, if we are conducting Le-Mans style 24 hours race, the lighting should gradually change through out the day. And roads should be illuminated by our own car lights.

Please don't generalize public servers are hell. Every basket has some bad apples. I can name many very good public servers with very high standards for safety, excellent good clean fair racing and extremely polite and nice people, off the top of my head. As far a s the original post goes, try online, be careful, you will get the hang of it soon

How do I install/use your Gauges?

HEY

MAJ+O, Options->Affichage->Feux De Depart Virtuels->driote
Shift+O, Options->Display->Show Virtual Start Lights ->Right

Quote from RobbyMac :

Getting back into simming (since way back when Indycar2 was big)
Heres a couple skins I made recently.
The carbon fiber pattern is kind of big, but it looks good from a distance in the game. I had fun making the rally car all dirty.


Download Oakley Skin File (2048 x 2048)

Brilliant skin! I am using this online.

Quote from TaiLG8eR :

I'll look into the other options mentioned I did get the first one working.


All I wanted was to have different speeds of cars on the track so there not all just in one single file line bumper to bumper.

Well I have saved a grid with all 19 cars (except what I am using) for AI. Select UF1, Add AI, Select XFG, Add AI, etc. So you will have all kinds of cars in the race. Make a slow->fast grid and the AI will pile up and crash in T1. Make a fast->slow grid with FO8 at start ad UF1 at the tail and they all win pan out

Edit: Oops, I did n't see you wanted to do this with only the demo cars.

Quote from Bryan1 :

I'm trying to find a Telemetry tool for LFS. One that measures ride height, tyre temps, suspension and more like MoTec.
Bryan

A basic level of Live info is displayed when you press the following buttons
F - Graphical representation of Forces acting on each wheels and the car
F9 - Tyre temps (3 different points reading on each tyre), Tyre pressure, Clutch temperature and G-forces
F10- Level of damage of each suspension component
Shift+L - Live status - graphical of each suspension component

Why are you making AI slow by limiting top speed. That will only make them slow on straights. Why don't try setting the AI to say "OK"or "QUICK" level?

Hey murdoc,

You are welcome to race in my team server [PfH] GTR. We use GTR class. I assure none of us will boot you out for silly reasons or crash on to you. I am not saying we tolerate anything. Just race fair and clean and you will enjoy the visit. You will find nice people here

I see that you have played in ![AMG] GTi MotorSport. They have a GTR server called ![AMG] GTR MotorSport. It is also clean and fair and have nice people. But be very careful. Most guys are very fast so be very safe.

Good thing about the above two servers is vote kick/ban is not enabled. So only if the admin is convinced that you deserve a ban/kick, you will be penalised.

Apart from these, there are quite a few. Just browse them one by one,

Wow! I donno how he managed to control F08 with this extreme setting. Found it to be too twitchy. It is subjective I guess. Personally feel return rate should be between 40-80% of the steer rate. I also change my steer/return/limit according to track/car combo.

For AS3/FXR I use:
Steer rate: 0.79
Return rate: 0.41
Limit Multiplier: 1.01 - 1.03 (depending on setups)

My PB with this setting is 1:42.55 which is 1.95 seconds (101.8 %) outside the HL WR.

I use higher rates on tracks like Fern Bay where quick direction changes are required

I use much lower limit multiplier for RWD cars like FZR, XRR.
