It must be very humbling from being top of the tree in one series to miles behind in another (yes it was his first race, and i think he will do well)

Mansell may have made mistakes be he won his fair share too..

He pulled a tear off off, no doubt.

I have it recorded on our hdd recorder ,the feed from Channel Ten HD is really clear and you can see the tear off no problems .

No idea how to put that onto the pc though but i will check it out.

Ive been playing Gt Legends again lately , have to say Simbin/10T make a decent sim but only with the cars on cross-ply older tyres like the 65 model cars. But the cars on slicks are diabolical and it appears that Simbin/10t have no idea what so ever when it comes to slicks.

Amazing the difference its like two completely different games.

I still want the bastard child of LFS and GTL ,physics of LFS and the graphics and sounds of GTL.For an old game it still looks pretty damn good.

I have reservations about the new ECU, a joint effort by McFez and Microsoft..

BSOD at 300kmh anyone?




Good to see Kovi can and will take it to LH (if ron lets him of course)

Bourdais , so close to getting fourth place using the Steven Bradbury method.Bloody Fez engines!

Can someone that lives in the U.K go around to James Allen's house and kick him fair in the nuts, ffs that man is a goose..

What in f#$ks name does all this have to do with me still driving around in a 1985 Mazda 323/Golf/Pug with 300000km's on the clock ?

The poor old thing needs valve stem seals and has horrific oil ring bypass .Not to mention the cv's are knackered and the gearbox wont go into fifth.

I raced karts for a few seasons and yes there bloody good fun and pretty cheap at the average punter ranks , a F3000 would be way more exciting even if its in the same condition as my XFG .

Chalk and cheese ones a car and ones a stepping stone to a car.

I liked GTL, the sounds and the cars are what i grew up with as a kid.

Its not superduper on the physics department and the cars feel like they spin around a center axis but its still bloody good fun.

The cars actually feel like heavy old shitboxes which is exactly what was intended i guess.

As for the rest of ISI/Blimey well there shite , and as much as i try to like Rfactor and i have spend alot of time trying to make it work as intended but it still feels completely wrong and remote.

V8SC mod is tops for the sounds and tracks alone but i cant drive it.

Never driven an Evo but i loved my s14 200sx (well thats what there called in Oz) it was a hoot to drive with all the sideways action you could want.

And yes it was stock, no front mounts or turbos the size of small houses

Should never have sold it for that shitbox Vx Commodore Club Sport, worse gearbox in history and a complete dog of a Chev Gen3 motor.

Whats with the lollipops? is he sponsored by Chupa Chup?

Makes him look like a gimp,as for Casey firing shots off in the press if you were to hear day in day out that the only reason you win was because of the bike you would be pissed too.

Attack any ones credibility and there will be words, let alone riders/drivers that have massive ego's that are massaged 24/7.

Last years Duke was quick in a straight line now no doubt, but i cant remember all of last tracks being 1/4 mile drag strips? Surely there was corners and braking involved as well not to mention racecraft

They dont keep handing out rides if you have no talent.

Like last year he wasn't the only one on a Duke, its about time people gave him the credit he deserves .

If it was bike alone Melandri, Caparossi (Spelling) etc etc would be beating Casey for one and be miles ahead of the rest of the pack....

Right man right tools..

The good thing about this race showed thats theres plenty of competition to come and it wont be a season just between Casey and Valentino .

Just need Ant West to get cranking now (he seems to ride well when theres a contract at stake...)

Anyways i still think the cars look tired...

Buy the new XFG , every new car sold comes with Rick Astley's latest hit album free!!!! And the first 100 cars sold will receive a free set of day glow seat covers with "Choose Life" stitched onto them.


sorry...

Too much of the same thing is not good for anyone , and LFS has been too much of the same thing for far to long.

Especially when it comes to tracks,that's tracks not a new combo but an actual new location .

It could do with the vapor ware rally pack or a completely new class of car .

I appreciate the way the Devs work and the small (really small) staff and i understand why it takes so long to produce new content ,but you can only play with the same toys for so long before anyone is bored to death with them.

That said playing LFS with the new Tweak is alot of fun, RB4 3300 6cyl @550hp certainly makes it come alive

I have G25 yet i still believe that ppl with 2-axis controllers shouldn't be punished to be honest.

I had a MOMO for some years and i too would be a tad unhappy if i was made to do it a bit tougher , its not that you cant but it makes it a little unpleasant.

As for the adjustable suspension etc etc , these cars would be track day cars so no its not totally unreasonable.

Sarsi has a point this forum can and has had a Mob mentality , which i have been part of too, were getting too quick to attack and too quick to shout down others views .

Still we all wanted change...

Quote from Woz :NOT the same. Doing that still means you have to refresh ALL servers even servers that anyone living down here KNOW they can't join due to ping.

To be able to just refresh the list for servers in your area would be HUGE bonus.

Damn Straight!

Next patch drift?

Also can we add a filter for location or area so i don't have to sit and watch 400 servers update to finally see the 6 or so Australian servers?

Which are normally empty so we race on the euro servers with high ping and make life unpleasant for everyone

Steam isnt a bad system at all, when you consider the player base for CS alone would drop most systems to there knee's.

The infrastructure to cater for that amount of players is pretty full on.

Quote from Postman Pat :I have an LCD too (Dell 2407) and every driving sim will tear as the scenery whizzes past, for example on tight bends. So I always have Vsync on too. And yes, I also find LFS movement a tad jerky compared with GTL, GTR2, or tomb raider for that matter. My system's reasonably good (below) and the processor's hardly doing anything according to task manager in LFS, whereas it's working hard with the others, so I don't know why.

Have you got triple buffering going? If your graphics card is Nvidia I assume you need something like d3doverrider with LFS (as you do with GTL etc.) which comes with rivatuner (free) to force that or you'll lose frames when your fps drops below 60..but you did say 'at 60' so probably not that.

Dont want to sound like the usual demo bashing arsehole, but.....

Thats a damn fine machine you have there,surely theres $50.00 left over to buy the game?

And if your logging in a demo racer when you have a s2 account, i apologize in advance.

Quote from notomorrow :but im sorry to say that i am now leaving the LFS community. In my opinion the XR gt was one of the best demo cars ever, capable of racing to drifting to anything you wanted it to do. Now my XR GT has dissapeared and along with it, over 50 of my setups that ive put countless hours into to get them perfected. Thank you for wasting a year of my time perfecting my favorite car and even going so far as to making hundreds of my own demo skins which are now USELESS.
goodbye to my 12.39 second drag car...
goodbye to my 1:25 drift car...
goodbye to my nsx that i manage to get to hit 145mph with
goodbye to wheelies and flips
goodbye to my 25+ engine sounds
goodbye to over 125 custom XRGT skins
goodbye to over 50 custom made setups
goodbye to all the nice people ive met
Kudos to [Shikane Drifters], DragMania, Team 360, T5, Silly Project, and also to the Ghost Drag Team.
You guys have all helped make my time on this game a bit better and i thank you for it.

Can i add one more thing to your list please?

goodbye tool , dont let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

Same thing over and over , if it meant so much to you fork out the dollars and support the guys that made it, Christ its not rocket science.

Quote from UruNico2641 :Honestly, I just got tired of complaining, and whats worse, I don't have enough money to buy S2... so now I am going to just lay back from LFS, its been a great part of my life, but Patch Y ruins demo users... and to be honest..

I know that S2 people don't care... but seriously, wouldn't you be a bit annoyed if you couldn't afford it, and you couldn't use the most used car in LFS History?

Oh well... I'm gonna regrettably start searching for something else.. Frown

I will never forget LFS, but I just don't have the same feeling now with Patch Y... its just not as fun.. I just wish S2 was budget friendlier.

Nick

PS. Happy Holidays.

Jesus dude its not a lot of cash really, the fact you have a computer goes some way to saying your not on the poverty line.

Scavier and co work there arses off and its about time a lot of the demo users that have been sponging off the demo for years pay up.

The fact you say its been a great part of your life is more than enough proof you should be paying for your pleasure.

PAY UP TIGHT WADS!!!
