im pretty sure there is software out there that can program your joystick to be a shifter, but it would be more fun to build a stick(custom ) and have the software run it.

oh my gosh i havn't been so hooked on reading since Starwars.. (that wasn't too long ago, i had to borrow the books) omg shoule there be an off topic thread just for this?

I was casually* driving around fern bad gold reverse the otherday to burn off some stress...and i say smoke puffs in my rear view mirrordriving at 40 mph in a straight line .I've never seen this up untill the new patch(or is it my crappy pc?

*casually - "throwing the car violently around the corner FOR FUN "

racing alone = 14.5 fps
multiplayer (good day) = 8.7 fps
full race grid = crash

my bad ant i remember the type of hillclimb now ty i thought this was a rally uphill ...o well...uum what car do we have that would do this? :/...

ROFLCHOPPEDSNAKEMAONAISE.

Ehem. how many effing times do i have to say that neither of the cars if starting at different points will ever meet up making it as if u were racing alone.the circuit setup is to stop the drivers from getting bored of uphill stop uphill stop te usual up hill would still be implemented but,like the dragstrip there would be a way back to the "start line". the idea of adding a downhill is just an addition stemming from this.How Dare ME? HOW DARE YOU!

my ideas explaination IN COLOUR
ok here it is,in the green area the corner configs(chicanes,snakes,etc), in the red area is the pits for each leg of the race,Blue is the uphill starting line and the purple is the downhill startingline(for a clockwise race.)

@anttt69 - Ehem... shut the fcuk up and read the topic tittle + first post + aLL OTHER POSTS b4 going all bullspit on everyone...thankyou.

The previous statement brought to you by, " THE BULLSH*T I CAN HARDLY TAKE", we now resume our topic

@Jamexing - i see,.I forgot to explore it from the other drivers point of view

...I think that could be added to my idea.
Wouldn't the car starting the downhill Run first havean advantage of downhill speed + uphill entry speed? .

Quote from Jamexing :

Ricerguy, your idea seems fun to me. Only problem is the risk of crashing if any driver forgets to hold his lane whilst passing each other. Nothing a good real time car tracking map, skill and attention can't solve.

To make it a fair race, each driver would start at opposite ends of the course (uphill or downhill). The finishing straights for each end would be 4 lanes wide to ensure adequate space for the turnaround. One lap is basically counted as one uphill and downhill combined session.

The winner is determined by whoever has the fastest combined uphill and downhill time.

Or, there's always the option of a one run (uphill or downhill) 1 on 1 battle.

That was not my idea. my idea was, that the whole track be a circuit where no matter where u start (top/bottom) both drivers go in clockwise/ counter clockwise motion the start lin for the driver startng at the bottom would be the finish line for the downhill driver or checkpoint f the driver continues the course.Same for other way around. i can't seem to notice whats so hard to understand ...i'll draw it out if i can comeout with a track design.

uum...My idea was to make it into a circuit but with the hillclimb and a return trip as to taka away from the boringness the drivers would go in the same direction at the same time, and can possibly start at the same time .

.I have a nice addition to this hill climb idea.
Since people say it may get boring, how about 2 pits? one at the top one at the bottom and the hill climb track could be made into a circuit where you chose to go down for the start or up.This would take away from the annoying boringness of a one way course, and probably appeal to those who like testing their cars top speed down a hill (me).Between each stage would be the pits due to the bumps and bruises due to happen on either of them just incase.

Just think of it. 2 pits, 2 start lines, one at the top one at the bottom, 2 seperate races on one track (uphill stage/Downhill stage).

Each to their own?

...and there I go dreaming of the possabilites of LFS getting real life cars, with a little sponsorship from car companies who know very well lfs will uberly promote their cars.

don't see why i should get it...

I nominate Electrik Kar

good read...you people know what your talkin about

the only thing that bothers me is that i thought...(for instance in drag racing...plz don't flame this thread cuse of it but...) that tyres gain grip at higher temps due to the tyre melting(causing it to stick to the road and adding to greater off the line acceleration)...anyways...(yes i read the whole thread)

It bothers me that the LFS community can't come to agree on things that shouldn't affect other types of racers (drag/drift/grip)...and just flame for the sake of..NOTHING just becuse they can't come to appreciate that they are more types of racing out there. .Overall the idea of having tyres that smoke at the point when u lost grip isn't that bad lol ooh and even come with a new tyre texture :P ?

My Opinion: in time when this game nears completion it may or maynot have made accomodations for the many different types of racing out there.

Ill wait and find out.

Quote from Munza :

save video as ...... then upload it as a file

what i wanted to know is how its done...he said he would upload it as the raw file if it was first made into a windows media player file..but how is it doen i'd like to know they are so few people helping make these files...

Quote from takata_nsxr :

post the vdeo as windows media ill get the raw sound from it

how?

@ShannonN very true...yes im 15 yes i used to brag about my car goin at 234 mph @ everyone else and judging by my name u think im Rice do u not? i ust like the style of the underground series fnf carbon is just initial D on crack don't worry people(except for the american cars on touge *sweating and saying to self - eew*) the style is whut attracts me t these need for speed games( aren't you forgetting the new need for speed:tokyo coming out LOOL it sux don't discuss that here seriously...and to the style there should be no barriors in terms of what you HAVE to put on your car we should be able to drive around sleepers all day and others who like style could do as they please (drive around all day with all show no go - or drive around all day with show and more go than you) need for speed is teh suxor now too much initial D for j0O..now for fnf...it isn't out yet dudes and dudets but carbon won't suck i garante it if it still sux take away my cookie :/...these games i comented on were liked alot by me when hot persuit 2 had come out not to long ago to be followed by the underground series...then i found out about LFS 8| those games were well pwnt although since im demo i have but a mere pocket rocket to drift with damn i love my XRT muhahahahhahahahahahahaaa...(ps im sleepy and have no idea what the heck i jsut wrote)

damnit if only more international rally drivers came to the track here then watched the cart races wouldn't i be 'nother lucky basterd.H that guy has got some raw luck...but nascar...whats soo good about that? (don't answer this question unless u really HAVETO)

hey welcome fellow new racer how old is your logitech rumblepad im using one and its the best for me but hey....when u get a wheel tell me price kk? imm looking into saving for one of those

oh cool that helps a hell of alot all i need now is a wheel and a set o pedals...and S2 if im lucky im gonna get it in a few mins..

you have no idea how sh*tty my computer is do you im suprised this game even runs but i guess the game is just that good

uuh i just peeled out try alot of negative camber for a start :P

tyres gone :bananadea

uuh guys its called a anti-lag system (ALS) and the way that turbo in the XRT is workin it needs one horribly the als boosts the turbo and stop it from taking so long to charge up and depending on the car u get a varying sound effect if u want loud get one for your subaru :P

how do i install that thing :|
