is there anyway to limit this happening to the cars directly around your own car? i dont care for a slight delay in the other cars which dont affect me, but i would like to know what the car infront is doing as the lights go green.

Does anyone experience this:

you have already run races with people in the grid but when the race restarts, it feels like the guy infront of you on the grid, doesnt pull away on the green light? its just a small delay, a second? the name doesnt show lag, the car just appears to have a slow start.

i get this, so i sometimes back off the throttle only to find the guy has accelerated away and then i am slower and so the car behind me catches up? or i will turn left or right to avoid him only to find that i just moved off my line for no reason.

to solve this i have just started flooring it at the start and hoping the guy infront has actually gone too, if he hasnt then, well, im going to crash into him.

this is on all servers i get this

i think a le mans prototype clone should have a priority right now

Quote from M.SCHUMACHER :

sry but i don't quite follow how do i enter lfs folder im pretty new too all this

when you downloaded LFS, you extracted the game into a folder of your choice, in there is a skins folder where you keep your own skins. possibly C:\LFS S2. try to find that folder and explore it.

skins_x is where other peoples skins get placed when they are automatically downloaded when you play online so dont put your skins in there and dont use ones out of there either for obvious reasons.

once you have the skin in the correct folder, you need to select it in game, go to garage, select your car and choose "new colours" then select the skin at the bottom of the page.

I assume you went to www.lfsworld.net and uploaded your skin there already.

oh and ignore the guys who hold World Records on high horses.

ok, looks like i need to fit a seatbelt to my chair.

does anyone know when logitech is releasing a wheel with an airbag? illepall

yeah the CMX viewer available for download off the http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=addons page and use print screen to get a screenshot and paste it into graphics program is an easy way to do it, not sure if you have that or what but it sure makes skin making easier.

there should be something blocking cars from going up and round the back there and sticking like glues to the tyre barrier. heres my suggestion.

just make the cars fall through the floor and reset

wow is that really a tap dancing monkey

...sorry i forgot what the topic was about

... wow he really can dance good

Quote from farcar :

To clarify, some people perceive a difference between a newbie and a n00b:

newbie: A newcomer who is lacking in skill but does the right thing online and keeps out of peoples way.
n00b: A player who is lacking in skill and behaves recklessly online not caring about taking out other racers because they don't know where braking points etc are. Often used as an insult

hi i have made a slight edit with an explanation.

its not just a newcomer who is a n00b, it can be anybody, as the term noob is actually a form of insult rather than a statement of fact. like calling a driver you know a rookie, even though he and you both know he isnt, its taken as an insult. ah well i guess im just rambling now i guess u see what i mean even though its kinda unimportant.

imperial the same as my road car, im sure it says KM on there too but i cant say i use it much

but in Live for Speed we can choose what car we drive, eg the fastest one? illepall if you put todays cars in lfs we would all be racing R8's why because thats the fastest. you need balancing.

a competitor doesnt have to be equal, but it does have to be competetive, if it isnt then it isnt a competitor, get it?

i have given the wrong fuel amounts to people before, i was driving a UFR and the guy had an XFR and he needed 12% and i was only using 11%. it was a complete mistake and i felt a bit stupid for it.

the best way to stop people telling you the incorrect amounts is to learn to do it yourself (F12)

mmmmmmm pie!

nah the easiest way is just doing what the topic starter suggested and thats by doing 1 lap then pressing F12.

:leb::leb:happy birthday :leb: :leb:

sometimes i still fall off the wagon and go race AS national for a few hours. i always feel dirty afterwards and go wash myself.

i just found hotlapping, have a look its kinda fun to try and beat the benchmark times (well it is for me ) no chance of a WR but i must say its fun specialising your hotlaps in one car, for me its the XFR and you can see the ranks for just that car, its just another area.

www.lfsworld.net is a great place to waste some time.

or skinning cars / helmets, if you have the patience, i find that fun and rewarding to take the car out on track. i swear it makes me race faster. heheh.

ive not stepped into the world of leagues or a proper team yet (just some RL mates team so far).

Quote from Greboth :

Helmet skin i made for mg team mate

that looks great i bet he was pleased with that, after just making my first proper helmet skin i can see that all these helmets in this thread have had a lot of time put into it, and now i think i need to do more on mine lol

oh yes ive ridden one of those and after you get over the first 10 minutes of balance issues (i guess you can call it that lol) they are so nice to ride after that. just so smooth you can really link up the slides, but it does feel a bit unsteady at first

great stuff

race team skin and my own matching helmet

Welcome about the crazy train, next stop AS National woowoo chugga chugga chugga

for pre heated tyres

im new to hotlapping and my car is the XFR, the problem im finding is that the rears just dont heat up doing laps, you really need to get that back end sliding to get them running nicely, i can actually feel the car driving better after i have snaked the car down the road and all 4 tyres are glowing green. but to do that "drifting" is pretty hard and im constantly getting invalid hotlaps because i 1) hit the grass with a wheel 2) hit a barrier while doing 3 point turns or sliding 3) burn up the tyres too much 4) roll the car over 5) bend the suspension.

this is without even starting my hotlap where i also do 1)-5)...

so yeah i find it rather frustrating doing that stuff, but i hope i will get used to it and be able to limit the amount of restarting i got to do.

it takes a while to do all that heating up and then u hit a barrier in south city and you got to do it all again.

oh well it wont stop me carrying on with how it is for now
