i tell you what, i rekon it was the noobs server they had these players on there and they supported them and banned me from it so its ok by them.

they welcomed me, then banned me for the sake of letting tweak hotlap after a race has finished.

why didnt they just tell me to leave because they didnt want to restart the game, why did they let me sit there for 10 minutes clicking shift R?

i think they were trying to provoke me. this is the noobs server. all so welcoming.

god damn i hate this whole place

tell me of a driving game thats like LFS that i can get a demo of.

yeh more flames please

now flame , flame away.

because, thats exactly what i expect from this game.

and yes i am sorry i hit you tweak i was following that guy from [noobs] up the track when you came down the chicane.

and to "i hate this game" well done, i hope you had fun and i hope tweak thinks youre really cool now.

and i bet youre glad im banned off the noobs server, what an acheivement!!!

weigh the anchor. indeed.

ok so im told if i come post here im going to get flamed.

what the hell, like i care about this game anymore by now..........and no matter what i say here is wrong.

im really beginning to think this game is all about arguing, bickering, and generall being arseholes to each other every night.


i was racing on the noobs server all night, i was told these guys are friendly, fun, and i would be guaranteed a good time there if i go.

so i spent all night racing with them, having fun with them, like 4 or 5 hours straight. it was really good.

so, the evening is drawing to a close and a couple of people are leaving, but obviously theres like 5 or 6 people left on the server including noobs. the race finishes and were hanging around and im clicking restart every 20 seconds waiting.

so i just chill knowing that itll start soon. so, were still hanging around when me and this other noobs club racer go off up the track the wrong way, and i hit this guy called Tweak who is doing some WR or something.

this guy called "I hate this game" starts laying into me, i guess he saw me as a target because of my previous posts here, judging by his username. and obviously he wants to get into Tweaks trousers so he started picking on me.

im guessing this "noobs" server was a trap for me or something.

well it worked, you pissed me off to the point where i come here and do exactly what you said i would do. post on the forums about what happened.

you made me wait ages and never restarted the race, you wound me up to the point i just tried to crash into you and then i got banned.

my experience of the noobs server.
and this game as a whole.

something i am deeply regreting.

meh without all the political talk ill put it in stupid peoples terms.

dont steal shit man

haha

ok, dont want any white pixels showing or anything so ill fill those areas in the same colours

thanks

i love the way cars bounce off walls and spin down the track illepall from in car its great to lose it and hit concrete and spin round like that, feels very race-like

but those red / white barriers are insane on the stunt tracks LOL

yeah that ufr was fun last night, the setup really made a difference, the only time ive driven that thing round SO town rev is on a default setup and you end up wrecking the car just getting out of the pits

but that setup is definately good for racing the uf 1000 round there, so many times i pointed the front of the car at an apex and flinched thinking it was going to hit but just sailed round nicely!! (i love the short nose on that car feels like your feet are the first things that are going to hit the barrier)

lovely little car

ok i just select all and pasted it into the other psd and this is what it looks like...

its attached

is the wire frame in the right place is there meant to be that tiny gap at the edges. looks ok to me but im unsure...

hi, a bit of help needed to skin my own helmet...

ive gone to the master skinnerz forum and gotten the helmet kit from there to start doing the skin,

i used their kits before and the wire frame is really helpful

but on the helmet kit rar file there is a wire.psd and a mask.psd

how do i get that wire frame into the mask psd so then i can use it as a guide??

i can go by eye but its not the same

oh man that is so funny to watch

i think the sounds are pretty good.

i dont know if any of you use a sub with your speakers but it really helps to add oompf to the sounds. if you turn it up you feel vibrations if you pull away at low revs. and it sounds great with LFS.

you really dont want to drive around with someone elses name on the drivers door either

hi i am still having these problems but im just about learning to handle them i use analogue braking so that helps a lot on the trail braking.

ok, if im wrong on this (im just a beginner too) then im sure i will be corrected by the good guys but here goes, being in the right gear helps and having a nice rev count too, this means you can adjust your throttle and power nicely to keep the car going where you want it... but i dont know how much it matters...

so far i been trying to do this by 1) borrowing peoples setups and 2) taking a good line, watch others to see what they are doing 3) trying to get the car round the apex on momentum before needing to use the throttle.

you can do this by making sure you brake at the right point and keep braking as you turn into the apex, without locking up the wheels or going too wide. this is the trail braking thing, it helps get grip on the front and get the nose of the car round the corner nicely so you dont have to be turning too much when you use the throttle.

in things like chicanes i will keep the throttle down until i start to turn then i release it a bit because the cars seem to want to slide out if you go over a strange surface like a chicane with full throttle down.

but you got to remember that backing off the trottle too much in places will unbalance the car too and make it twitchy so its nice to be at a constant speed into the turn so when you come out you just drive away?

i hope that makes sense and is even how it works

Quote from richy :

no i hear what those people are saying.

they are telling me to just ignore jerks like you.

am i doing good so far?

oh yeah this was me trying to be thick skinned but i suck at it. sorry

ok im going to race online for a while and just play the game like i have been, i guess this whole thing turned sour now it wasnt meant to be as long as this i was going to just stop playing but somehow i kept hanging on to it like i never wanted to stop anyway i guess

i love to race too i love it when certain things happen in the game that make you go "yeah that was cool!!!" like when your braking into the turn 2 of SO town reverse and the back end steps out and your pumping the brakes and downshifting to first but still manage to get the car back straight in time to turn left.

i havent forgotten about the help i got

why do you think im still going to play LFS

edit: aparantly the only way im going to get to know people is in game, except everyone is too busy racing to talk. and also i need to buy a wheel, and i know how to edit my F1-F8 keys but im a laughing stock because i want to.

yeah tell em to look at this then they will expect the worse from their newbie questions they ask.

lets hope the next couple of "noobs" who join up get to enjoy it a bit or hopefully they are arsy enough to be acceptable here.

because the guys who are arsy to people they are just fine.

exactly.

im not overreacting to all those negative comments, that tells me a lot about the people im trying to get along with, and i dont want to spend my time on a game where everyone is being sarcastic or calling me a noob to everything i say, or for wanting to flame me for trying to get more out of this game than the arcade action im getting right now.

i came here to get more from my LFS game and i realised it just made me not enjoy the game now because i know for a fact that there is no decent community for me to start racing in. the people are just going to call me noob because im new and make stupid comments about my new experience of the game. sorry i was enjoying the game. now im not, does that make you happy? surely this is what you all want, me to be negative like everyone else?

im pretty cheesed off i even bothered to put my username and password into this forum but sadly i had to try and find some sort of help because i was just being called a noob in game. i come to the forums, get some sarcastic comments. what else do i do. i feel very deflated because in game theres no interaction and come to the forums to find a bunch of old timers who hate new guys.

really is it so hard to understand

not just 1 you get it from anything you say

take my last post for example

i guess my "oh man this game is so good" bubble got burst, thats all.

lets stop talking about it because its doing noone any good.

Not being funny, but by reading the comments in here and in the other thread, I would say either you are a young kid, or you have issues.

The vast majority of people that have replied to you, have done so in a positive and helpfull manner, but you choose to ignore those and concentrate on the few that arent

Dan,

so tell me who is confused? tell me about what i said that is so weird and baffling to you? This forum is the worst experience ive had of LFS. almost enough to stop me playing the game completely. why is that confusing?

no i hear what those people are saying.

they are telling me to just ignore jerks like you.

am i doing good so far?

this is cut and pasted from the other thread thats going on in the beginners section, theres 2 threads going at same time...
