For all the ppl that's complaining about the new start position, go and drive in the wrong way till you feel that you can get the desired speed at the finish line, It wont take you much more longuer than warming up tyres for the hotlap.

I've just seen your replay and what you need to improve is your lines, you are not using all the track in some corners, maybe if you get closer to the inside so you can get faster to the apex and exit corners at a greater speed you could shave that hundredth of a second to get to 1.07.XX, try breaking a little bit earliear so you can get to full throttle before the apex.

Wow, you must have done something really good to the graphics engine, my video card is a little bit screwed up and I used to get lots of artifacts in the game, but when I tried this patch i found that almost all the artifacts where gone!

I've always wanted to know what tail braking means, now that i know i realise that i did it without even knowing the theory behind it :P

I usually race in servers with less that 150 ping but lately I've started to race in the STCC servers and sometimes I get 300 or 400, when you are racing in a pack with that ping you have to be very carefull, if you get to close to someone it's almost certain that both of the cars with be thrown away in the air because the lag sometimes makes cars be in the same spot at the same time and that is not nice to see, but if you are aware of your ping and try not to contact other racers cars other racers wont even know that you have that much ping, at least i haven't recived any complain about beeing laggy and if i get any i will surely go into spec mode while the ping goes down. So I think that if you are used to be clean on your racing you can race in servers with 300+ ping.

I started to race in LFS about the same time that i started driving in real life and in LFS I use LFB and IRL RFB, damn that was too many abreviations for once sencente lol

I lost the replay, but my priceless moment was when racing in so with the FOX someone hit the wall and his car was lifted in the air, so i had no choice to step on the gas and it worked! i passed below him, when i watched the replay i couldn't belive that i had such luck!

I've always wanted to be able to make my own setups, but It seems that i'm not good at it, maybe i need more theory of how the different settings affect each other, but for now i have tons of things to study for college so i only modify someone else's setup to fit the amout of laps that i'm goig to race.

I love this kind of races, hopefully i'll join you next time!

I don't know how to reproduce it exaclty but i found a pattern, something to do with window mode, search for multiplayer servers and try to safeexit using the X windows button.

Weird, I have always had 4-way speaker sound plus subwoofer and the center channel muted, I'm using a SoundBlaster Live 5.1.
It would be nice if a real 5 channel was implemented, and it would add so much immersion to the game.

I'm having some random crashes, but i don't know if the problem is my computer because i can not reproduce them, sometimes when trying to exit using the X button from the LFS windows the SIM crashed, also when i pressed the back button in the multiplayer menu i had a similar crash, i'm still investigating what it might be.

I'm usually 1 second slower with full tank, but the major problem is handling, at least for me, when I have full tank I struggle a lot if there is an overtaking situation or if I make a mistake and have to recover the car.

I'm having trouble with U29, i think it has something to do with the "Controls screen now shows the function assigned to a button" because when I press any button from my wheel at the controller menu LFS shuts down inmediatly without an error message, that does not happen if I am in the axis menu from controller's options.

Well I guess I'll have to live with it, it would be a nice feature to see in a not very distant future, thanks for your cooperation, i mean help

Is there any way to hide from other users so they cannot know if you are racing or not in the Live Alert function of LFS-World? I looked for that option but I could not find it Hope that it exists.

I've just tested the CSR mod, I loved the sound of the car but when I started to drive I felt like is was another game, and i am not lying, but it felt like gtr2! maybe it could be because I don't have a FF wheel so I mainly get my info from the sound and graphics,and as hard as I tryed i couldn't avoid spinning when downshifting. Maybe it's because i haven't played LFS for a while, but i doubt that =/

The sound just doen't feel right to me, don't ask me why, i dont know.

Brasi, i'm from Argentina and we are going to start a new championship in about a month, so if you want you can go into our community forum and see if that fits you, the address is lfs.cerolag.com, at the momment we have one racer from Chile and some other racers from Peru, USA and England, so lag isn't a major issue, hope to see you around.

Nice! i think i have a new wallpaper

As far as i know you can put money into any account without being in the bank system, the only thing you need is the bank name, account number and accounts owners name, and the will put the money directly to that account, so you can send the money that way to anywhere in the world, at least if the bank you're using is an international one.

Quote from tinvek :

anyone else noticed that when you first drive someone else's setup it can feel wrong and so you modify it and end up, as already posted, with a completly different set whioch feels good, but when you then go back to the original setup that now feels a lot more drivable and better than your mods made it?

It used to happen to me, after a while i started to realise what every option does so i drive the original set for a while and change the things that i don't like, but usually if I see that a set is totally different from mine i don't use it, if I do I end making a mess to my racing lines.

Maybe you should ask your parents if they can give you some chords for a little wage o something like that, LFS isn't really too expensive so after a little while i think you could gather all the cash you need, or... you could become a dealer and earn lots of cash.

I usually use markers, sometimes it's a 100 meters sign o something similar like when something appears o disappears from the screen, but you also have to use your own judgement in every corner because of the several factors that involve braking, brake presure, dirt in the tyres, moving cars around, racing line, speed, every thing makes part of a whole when braking for entering to a corner. I like to belive that braking points are not really important as how you brake.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Like I had said above, that is not the dev's fault. (Trying not to sound like a jerk here, sorry if it comes off that way). Being an online game, there is no effective way to change pricing for different regions without abuse. Some people will just have to go without LFS if they cant afford it.

I totally agree with you there is no way to charge less for a specific country, I just wanted to let you know that if you want to play you can afford it, if I can pay 130 pesos I belive that people from the USA can pay 60 bucks for an S3 licence.

in some countries LFS is really expensive, i had to pay 130 pesos to unlock s2, and i belive that if the S3 costs 36 punds wich is about 200 pesos nobody here would be able to buy it, damn third world prices, i should move to england or scavier should move to argentina, they would be rich here :P
