Not me, but Tukko

Quote from Forbin :

If there's one thing RL(tm) racing has taught me, it's that there are all types out there where ever you go. From the superfast aliens who are gone in a second to the complete noobs who can't get within 2 meters of an apex. You just have to deal with it and ride your ride (or drive your drive as the case may be).

You don't have to deal with it if you don't want, and have the opportunity to not to do so. It's called racing standards. It's a good thing that anyone can join race and have fun, but also you can set a higher racing standard on a server, and great racing will happen.
You know, when you outcorner a FXR with the XRG something is very very wrong.

Quote from Inouva :

Come to Cargame.nl s2 , if you stick to the rules and you are a fair driver, ppl gona love you fast there., and is no need to be "Alien lap maker" anyone can race there and learn

You mean crashgame.nl? Only problem is that 99% of the slow ass ppl are not only slow, but can't race neither. It has never meant to be about the pace, but the about quality. (being fast isnt = being fair tho)
It has been, and will always be a problem how to deal with slow people, and by slow I mean often 4-5-6 secs off the pace. With that kind of difference it's very easy to get into a situation which ends with crashing.
I do understand both sides. It's not fun getting crashed by fast guys when you are learning the track, and it's also not fun to have somebody in front of you who brakes 30m sooner, or stops on the ideal line to let you past.

If you want clean and competitive racing, you really gotta be radical with admining which will not result in being very popular. The problem with the current public server is the loose rules and slow admining, which destroys everything. Personally, when I get crashed out 2-3 times in a row by some idiot who thinks its fun not to brake, I won't race there any more for a while.
I admire people who has the patience to do so. But don't worry, we have a plan :P

Quote from kiste :

what brand of beer they have at nfinity?

We have fully loaded tankers of all brands. Definitely a joining reason

LOL so many gay people, it's like a gay parade for real. Hosts, commentators, competitors, everyone.
I only watched cause 3id Jack told me to, had some good laugh
They also vote for their neighbour countries, it's so lame. My vote goes to Boobmenia

You can't really get any better than those you find on setupfield/setupgrid.

Quote from obsolum :

Well, obviously some people give a shit enough to respond so it's not completely pointless

But still, not about the original question so it will just result in pointless flaming, like we do now.

Quote from obsolum :

Why? Do threads have expiration dates or something?

It's just pointless to respond to a 5 year old problem what was meaningless even back then.

Quote from El Conquestador :

you are an idiot. the starion is a RWD chronic oversteer car, with a 2.6 I4 Turbo. the XRT is a 2.0 I4 Turbo. they are almost the same car just with slight engine differences. I own a 1988 Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion, so get your information straight before you go running your mouth on the forums.

Also, even though it makes only 188 hp in the 1988-89 versions, it makes a nice 223 ft-lbs of torque

Nice bump to a nearly 5 year old thread.

Quote from varjsa-9 :

I'm truly sorry, but you just were too late.

First race you could wait for others, I get it. End of conversation.

Quote from russraine :

Dude the password is there 'in' that was the password, I can see it in your screenshot.

Why wasn't it working then? Not only for me, but neither for Nightracer. We tried to join 6-7 minutes befor ethe race started, but it said wrong password.

thanks for helping, I wont come next time, dont worry.

Quote from Timo1992 :

Good luck in iRacing and well ye ... lfs

You're having a nice and fast racer with Bela Rev

From now on I'll just Badass Béla, or simply rev Gianni will be kicked in the balls :P

Quote from csurdongulos :

Bella? That`s a girl. When did you have the operation Rev?

hahaha funny guy. Gianni if you don't correct it to Béla I'm gonna kick ur gay belgian ass

I have a DOXA California Chrono for several years now, but never wore it so far

Quote from pacesetter :

Not sounding negative, or pissing on their parade, but this is what was expected of nfinity :P Yet to win MoE

Things never went as planned, especially with avaliable drivers, but every1 knows how it goes.
Anyway, grats on the team guys, see you on the track :P

Quote from M Ekström :

Pretty nice and challenging.
Also for me as a non-RB4-driver.

Are those 3:11 driven without hitting any objects?

Yeah. Next one comes early next week. It's gonna be a bit harder than this one, but still tons of fun if you get the hang of it.

First post updated with the last layout of my kart tracks, and also the attachment. Enjoy.

New year, new style of layouts. It's time for some time attack runs.

Aston Historic Reversed

First layout is based on the challenging Aston Historic Reversed. With it's wide run off areas it gives a lot of opportunity for combined hairpins and chicanes. After a fast first sector comes a flowing 2nd, then it gets really mad. Don't leave your handbrakes at home. Last sector starts with an evil 5 tag chicane. Don't cut the Eau Rouge, it isn't worth it.
Heres a youtube video of a 3:12 lap. Top times are in the low 11's. Made for the RB4.

You can also find the layout at http://www.lfs-layouts.co.cc.

i want the 100mb connection they talked about. Get some torrents in

(legal of course) hint hint

I'm on a 30/10 mbit shared line with 4 flatmates, and I can tell you it's more than enough. 3 mins for a 700mb movie, can't even sh!t that fast Also I'm uploading like 1tb each month on torrent. And yeah, I pay around 2,5€ for it

Quote from manneF1 :

Hi, im having a race on thursday, whats suposed to be RB4 @ Fe5. As we all know that FE5 is a rallycross track and you need to slide a little bit to be fast.

So heres my question, how im able to make tyres last 42 laps? I know, that less camber and add pressure would do the trick, but that just kills driving. And yes, this is stupid combo

Had races there some time ago, and less camber with pushed up pressure didn't work. You want to keep the camber and low pressure to have the grip, and not to slide, because sliding kills the tyre. Really, you can go fast without sliding, even as fast as with sliding. I'd say keep the qual setup, and try to be easy and smooth on the tarmac, and don't overdo the turns and you will be fine.

Quote from PedraumF :

Oh, sure, then why do we have texturized cars instead of wireframes? The body doesn't affect the car's aerodynamics, so it's not important at all. Same for almost everything in the game. And we should have a prompt, not a full friendly menu.

Right?

I hate when people only say "your idea is not important" and nothing more...

I might have said 'less important' than some other things. But really, if we want to go in small details we could write down dozens of things like this.
And what else should I've said? I really think it's not that important in this stage of the development.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

Based on the actions by new users (as seen in IHR for example), the only ones who will enjoy a rebirth of CTRA will be those who used to race it, and let's face it, most of those guys have moved on or taken a break.

Personally, I'm gonna give LFS a break because the lack of daily competitive racing. Since my weekends aren't always free, I can't really commit myself to a league, so it means if I'm in a league, I have 'good' races every 2 weeks. By good I don't mean competitive, but organised and stuff. But the last year proved it's just as boring as hotlapping.
The current popular public servers are nowhere near to the old CTRA. I know it's hard to lure fast people to public racing, cause most of them is kinda sceptic about the standards of these servers, but it's a must do. And let's face it, if you have chance (and by chance I mean like 20% chance) to have a great exciting and fun race only every 2 weeks, it gets damn boring after a while. It's just no fun at all.
I think a CTRA-like system could work for a while with better admining, since it wasn't that bad after all.

If you use in car view theres no need to show dirt on tyres. Maybe on single seaters, but since it doesn't affect the car's handling it's not important at all. Or at least has really low priority.
And btw, hybrids aren't more slippery than road normals :P

I think you should rethink the starting procedure, cause a flying lap with a pace car and a green light is a bit different. After pace car is gone, pole sitter controls the field, and accelerates when he wants. Also no overtaking until the start/finish line. Just like a standard flying start.

Personally I don't really like multiclass racing since it kinda splits the grid in half. Like let's say you have 30 cars on the grid, 15 GT1 and 15 GT2. In this case you cant really compete with 30, but with 15 cars. Less cars to compete with means less action. The LX4 could provide excellent battles since it's not that hard to drive, but can be kind of challenging.

Graphics doesn't matter that much, cause TDU1 still looks ok. The biggest problems in TDU1 were the 3 polygon bumps on the road which made impossible to race the cars in hardcore mode. Also the engine sounds were terrible, and some specs were way off. Like the Lexus cars hardly doing 210km/h, or the SL65 merc topping out at 270 or so.
Also some tyre wear or fueling would be great. And yeah, a much better netcode.
