do those wr setups shred tyres a lot faster than a race setup?

hahaha yeah something like that ..

... what about if your pit crew used the same suit skin as your driver has but have those cool looking storm trooper type helmets with mirrored visors.

i think F2 slows it down and F3 speeds it up...

what do you think about tyres being blown from heavy impacts on the wall?

so you hit a wall and broke a bit of suspension. if you hit it a bit harder than that was at, a tyre is blown too?

it would make a hard impact on a wall have a bit of an affect on your car and would only happen rarely, i bet most of you guys never brake suspension anymore so it would be rare occurance.

edit: also it may suit the graphics a bit if the wheel is buckled from the impact? it looks odd sometimes when a car had a dented corner but the wheel is ok...

the barriers have a pinball table feel to them, the concrete walls feel solid, if you hit them in 6th gear youll go flying but usually feel solid enough.

it feels like those barriers and certain things ping you back like a bumper in pinball just a fraction too much? maybe off the cars too?

is that the springs you meant, or is it caused by the springs on the car???

would you guys mind using a specific pit box? has that ever been mentioned before, does it add a little extra "thing" for you to do while racing or just make it a pain and more confusion as to what goes on, or are certain pit boxes considered better than others?

ive been racing AI players and hotlapping offline, the game is still fun for me as far as racing goes, and its hard to pass like 8 AI players cleanly but its easy to get away from the pack once out in front.

i understand that there is still much to be added with sounds, i just wondered if anyone had mentioned this before or what people thought on it.

could you have it so the rims of the wheels grip more, or, if one tyre goes it jerks the wheel to the side it blew from so you get those spectacular blow outs where the car loses control instantly? maybe it works under load, so if the tyre is on a massive load and it pops at that moment it makes a bigger effect?

the whole tyre flapping in the wheel arch idea sounds good to me, could it be modelled to make the car sounds bang and make the cockpit "wobble" to make it feel like you got loose tyre in there?

is that getting too detailed to really matter?

pointless or could be good? or too hard to do?

is there one already there, it seems silent when i get a puncture and i find out by checking tyre wear screen or by the handling, there is the sound of the car rubbing on the floor. but this guy in the game was saying "i think i broke my suspension under braking".

should there be a sound? would it be nice if there was a more forceful pop at high speed? discuss?

i think any of those boxes can be used as a pit to stop in, and im guessing its random what pit it sends you out of?

im sure its just trivial but it would be nice to have a pit thats yours? would it cause problems like blocking the pit or something?

even if its setup it so whatever pit you started at it put your skin on the front just so you can stop there if you wish to? but its not any different to what it is now? i dont know

im not sure if this has been covered before but while i was skinning my car and testing it, i thought that it would be nice if you could skin the top sponsor board of the pit, so you know which pit is yours and you can pull in there and stop there and know youll be starting from there again. you could match it to your suit and helmet colours or car colours etc.

oh well its just an idea, flame away.

this is the beginners section, if you want to come here and make jokes about beginners then thats your fault, if you find that people get pissed off then dont be surprised.

funnybear, i dont need encouragement because you give out too much already.

how about you explain it

Quote from Alan Wright :

The [noobs] COW is currently at Aston Cadet.
Your stats show 57 laps with the LX4 and 6 with the FXO.
Of course you would need to restart immediately as you don't need any more practice.

what you said confused me

i would of voted for qualifying or anything, i would of carried on going round the track if i had known we werent going to actually restart the thing

Quote from AndroidXP :

This is ridiculous.

If these chaps around here are too mean for you, maybe you should try the teletubbies community.


Seriously, the people here are the nicest and most helpful I've ever seen on the net, and yet you manage to get all enraged over "us" in only a week. You sir, have serious anger problems and maybe a different game, one that lets you relieve your anger like CS or Battlefield, may be better suited for you. I really hope you don't behave like this on the real road, if you already have a drivers license that is.

And now, please take one of the numerous chill pills Tweak has offered you

yeah i was angry because i tried hard all night to have clean races, for hours i was there racing with those guys. and i was even racing in an LX4.... that was tricky to keep clean in the corners but i was pulling it off...

yeah it makes me angry that everyone just clings together all of a sudden and gets u booted for no reason at all just because youre new.

either that or they knew they would try and ban me for something when i went on their server...

i wasnt even saying about the restarts thing

i was just happily waiting for the restart count down to tick up..... when this guy called "i hate this game" started to get everyone to ban me because i hit tweak who i didnt even have a chance to say anything.

i wasnt irritated by the restart or anything, it had just been a while since the restart happened and i had driven off up the road after a [noobs] who went up there too.

i even tried a second time but some people wouldnt let me forget those threads on this server...

hey i tried, i got made to look a fool for trying i get the impression my eagerness for the game was just not wanted here from day 1.

althought thats not really it, thats sarcasm.

i didnt hit him intentionally, i didnt know it was practice, and i didnt know it wasnt going to be restarted, i was still shift R ing as i was going up the track and didnt have a clue when tweak hit me then i was getting crap off everyone.

You need some serious help. How old are you? 12 maybe?
Let's get this straight.

1. You were racing on a server.
2. A race was over and you wanted it to be restarted.
3. Less than half the people on the server wanted it to be restarted.
4. Tweak was practicing but wasn't selfish enough to tell everyone not to restart because it doesn't matter to him despite the fact that he was putting in close-to-WR times. The fact that he didn't want to restart so he didn't vote makes him a c*nt.
5. People wouldn't restart for 10-20minutes so that makes them c*nts too for being so selfish and not considering what you want - if a minority of people on the server want the race restarted, why should it be restarted? Unless of course you are the most important person in the world, right?
6. The race wasn't restarted, and everyone on the server is such a c*nt for not restarting so here's an idea - "LET'S WRECK EVERYONE'S PRACTICE". No, not go to another server and race somewhere else - that's far too sensible and mature. "LET's WRECK. AND TO MAKE IT BETTER, LET'S CALL EVERYONE NAMES. THAT MAKES US MORE MATURE BECAUSE... OH WAIT I'M NOT MAKING ANY SENSE BUT I'M NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO REALISE THAT AND I'M TOO CLOSE MINDED FOR LOGIC TO LEAD ME TO THAT CONCLUSION." Anyone in their right mind would have ban.
7. You nailed Tweak head-on while he was practicing but because it's after a race it doesn't matter, right? Here's a thought - if someone is driving around a track and pushing hard, they might just be trying to practice to get a good time. So I'm sure they'd appreciate being wrecked, right? Tweak didn't even vote to ban you, despite the fact that you wrecked him on a good lap. Hell, if it was me I'd have voted to ban you for sure.
8. Eventually you got banned after asking for it in a million ways by behaving against generally accepted racer etiquette - bad language, wrecking etc.
9. And here at this point you get a real brain-wave and post on the forum and tell the whole community that they really suck with ass-backward arguements and then ask to get flamed, victimise yourself and whenever someone throws a good arguement at you, you just repeat what you said earlier despite the fact that it doesn't make any sense. But its the community's fault, right? Grow up or leave, the community will be better off without people like you.

yeah pretty much thats it. they wanted it they got it.

Quote from Funnybear :

You know Richy, after your little out burst at me in the other thread about the F keys and stuff I thought I would give you the benifit of the doubt and play nice. Which I did, even shared a hard earned setup with you in teh hope that you would calm down and stop being such an ARSEHOLE about everything. Appears I was wrong.

You know, I have been banned from servers before, a number when I was noobing around driving like a tosser, but I learnt that LFS isn't about being a tosser, it's about racing and enjoying the race. Now, thats how I race. I try to race consideratly and carefully with the understanding that there will always be another (race). But what I have never, ever, ever done is go on a rampage of deliberate wrecking . . . There is never, NEVER, a good reason for deliberatly wrecking someone race. They may have pissed you off, they may have cut you up, they may have taken you off, they may even have insulted your mother, hell at the last count I thought that was racing, but I have never used any of those as a reason to lower myself into the gutter and become a, I can hardly bring myself to use the word. . . . Wrecker.

Do yourself a favour Richy, and everyone else . . **** OFF!! You obvioulsy don't enjoy LFS and you very obviously don't have the mentality to conduct yourself in a right and proper manner . . . So, **** OFF!!

And just so there is no misunderstanding here . . . . F. U. C. K. O. F. F!

My appologies Admin. I shall retreat back into my dark little hole now and comtemplate about the bad words I just used . . . The W one. How could I say it. I am sorry God of LFS. I used the W word. The one that means when peope drive into other people on purpose, like MR Schumaker does. So Sorry . . .

Grovel. . . .

yeah great, you felt bad about being an arsehole to me so you gave me the benefit of the doubt. that was nice of you.

you started all this shit with your arsey comment in the beginners section that changed my whole view of this game and how lame that i was for enjoying it. have your cake and eat it.

im not complaining about peoples driving

im all for it
