Quote from bbman :

So, friction of which engine components slows you down and create that engine-braking effect?

After reading through this entire argument - - I decided to share my opinion.

Wheels first when talking about braking I believe. I also believe that not only doesn't the engine cause the vehicle to "brake ( slow down )", Its the other way around, but im just brain storming.

first gear has a limit to the speed it can reach before redline, all gears have different maximums. If one were to be driving in 4th gear at say...1200 revs before redline gearing down would cause the engine to be pushed forward, causing over revving and (depending on the gear ratio or given road forces to stabalise or otherwise the given car) wheel lock up. <- theory

hmm, can't i use this in racing?.

why not?

Applying the brakes while approaching a high speed corner (without the clutch) would cause the engine to slow down due to tyre friction > drive axles > differential > driveshaft etc...
the speed at which the engine decelerates would differ depending on masses of working parts i believe which may be greater or less affected by the tyres friction on the road surface (greater mass of working engine parts would mean less rpm loss and possible wheel lockup).

So I thought to myself, " what would happen if I were to add these two simple equations together to aid my digital brake (keyboard for now)" the differences (given gear + max/minumum speeds of said gears) plus the friction variables while the clutch is engaged.

Result severely cut braking distances. works for me in Live For Speed, Makes sence to me therefore I don't see why it shouldn't work in real life.

I honestly prefer the R32 skyline. Cars nowadays are shaped funny and all are starting to resemble one another. (And they still can't fly ! :P )

@Tristan, I love your TOM S Toyota 06a engine and would like to use it next year also, can you reserve this please? :d

Team Kei Office joined the LFS club :P

P.S. @ Tristan, just baught on engine of yours ( TOM S Toyota 06a ) for 5 mill

never found those eff keys? F11 and 12 should solve your problems.

I checked it out, and decided that I wouldn't mind being caught behind the wheel of one,then I read Jibber's post. :P

Xfire for meeeee

xfire : ricerguy

very nice.

anyone in leagues 20 or 25?

your kite looks like a parachute to me...the only kites i know are shaped mostly like octagons and are hand made...

wow, that is just...wow i want one for my stereo

gonna be sixteen soon....im screwed, if i don't stop playin lfs.

Quote from Gunn :

Another way in which the Scandinavian Flick differs from feinting is the Flick employs four wheel drifting whereas feinting does not.

So what you are saying is that my feint is fake?....

that guage is the most useless piece of....what ever i've ever seen in a game. What does it guage?,Why is this nessesary?, this isn't need for speed, shifting actually plays a role here, when it takes more than one person to restart a 4 person race.

Game keeps crashing...so im scared to even go play it ATM...LFS definatly is the only way to go for me and this pc. Sucks having no choice other than numpad for laptop test usage...

He already uses the feint/inertia technique as he stated above. I personally just use weight "repositioning", to relieve weight from the rear, or from any particular wheel of the cars ad enable it to glide or lose traction. My favourite thing to do is watch the drift bible in parts over and over, try each technique in lfs rince and repeat.

*my special secret thats not so special* - after revising all the techniques shown in the drift bible moved on to using all of them, mixing them up to see which ones I preferred, and then I created my own.

by the way, do you plan to move on to supers eventually or will you do as the croud did and hit the easy button?

There are alot of people on these forums from the UK, im wondering why I don't see any of you here for the events get here in 5 days and you will be a bit early, but you won't miss the events, some new stuff coming into the island, some space framed RX-7's, some turbo RX-7's, the old rx-7 that got owned earlier this year... i can't wait.

first time i accidently got burned by peppers, was when my grand mother had been cutting them by the sing and a glass was there....remedy: tablespoon of sugar to rest on the tongue. works wonders.

Take your time man, It only came out today, I personally think that this game is something special, but hey, i thought the same about Colin McRae rally 4 until i tried the Richard Burns Rally demo.

got GPL working. Its beautiful game, when it isn't laggng .
anyone know of tips that would stop lag?, i turned off all the gfx stuff and i still lag.

This video had me in complete AWE.(spelling? XD ). I can't believe people compare it to DOOM after playing the demo.

on a side note this would make a damn good movie.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy6hWyhq_hc (PART ONE)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVDTWMrjde4 (PART TWO)found an actual gameplay vid to help me back this up

tell him to try unplugging the modem for 3 minutes then plug it back in and wait a while, it should show a message (can't remember at the momeny but it gives instructions to click the repair button)

i tried creating AI drift setups, but after one lap the AI would just drive the car to the limits of it's tyres grip and stay there. My AI learns too quickly.

@post#2: as Stated by Jeramy Clarkson - " pornography "

wow i would also love to see how this car performs offroad.
