the 8600gts isn't really a gaming card. I'd say pick either the 8800gts or get a 1950pro for 120 euro's. Perhaps you could invest the extra bit of money from the gfx card into an intel processor and mainboard ?
I've been kicked for telling someone he's a lucky bastard cause 2 guys in front of him spun and he went from 3th-1st.
I don't think lucky bastard is considered a swearing word now is it ? :P
Haven't read all of the reply's here but there is something I would like to add:
Whenever I run into a backmarker on the straight and eventually pass him sometimes they quickly get into my slipstream and them trying to overtake me. It's usually me who brakes a bit more to make sure he doesn't crash me off track. I even lost races cause of backmarkers doing this and eventually crash into me.
Well it took a few hours of training but I'm really getting good at driving in the fox now. Even those oversteer setups aren't a pain in the ass as they were before. Now my only problem is staying consistend... When I hotlap it's like 3 crap laps and then 1 flying lap 2 seconds faster than the previous ones. Any suggestions on that ?
How about they learn how to overtake ? I've trained AI's for a BLGP 30 lap race with the Fox. For fun I putted the quickest ones at the back of the grid. And they didn't even try to overtake! They only release the throttle a little to get some distance...
Sorry for the late reaction. I've had a go with your setup Gentlefoot and it's just brilliant. it reminds me of a setup I used back in demo in the XRG. It consisted of sliding through the corners and it was really quick.
I've done a few laps just doing what you typed and I just pumped out a 1.09.02 without any problems. I know I can go a wholelot faster with this setup. Gonna have a look at your hotlap now and see where I can win more time
I can get one in holland for 192 euro's but I've bought a DFP 2 months ago... Perhaps I'll get one later or if my DFP suddenly dies(crosses fingers :P)
I would like to apply for ZWR. It seems to be a rather active and friendly community and I would love to become a part of it. I've played LFS for about 3 years now, and I consider myself as a clean racer. In 3 years I've driven about 36.000 miles and done 10.706 laps over a lot of different combo's. Well if you want to know more things just add me to msn : [email protected] (and don't misjudge me cause of the dorifto in my email. I used to do that but not anymore :P)
thanks nathan for the setup. I'll try it out tonight. Also I found out that I only have problems with the oversteer setups. Like I said I prefer neutral setups. When I have the proper setup I can be really quick and often get into great fights. Too bad I don't have those fighs that often. Anyone able to point me out how to create a neutral quick setup btw ? Or a guide whateer ?
I've been racing in the CTRA Singleseater servers and I just can't keep that pesky Fox on the road. everytime i get into a corner it's always a question wether I make it through without spinning or not. Usually I spin when I hit the throttle again. even when I feed it in I spin.I've used the setupfield setups most of the time and it's a pain in the ass driving'em. Now I would like to have some advice on a couple of things : How can I create quick setups for the Fox and how can I actually keep it on the road ? I prefer Neutral setups with a bit of oversteer if that makes any difference
The strange thing is I have no problem keeping things such as the Fo8 on track but the Fox is just one big nightmare.
To be honest I hope they stop messing up F1. It becomes more of a circus act than a race event. I'd rather have the V10's back. No more racing-aids etc. But I guess it's already too late for that...
First of all I would like to say I love the idea of the STCC licensing system. It keeps those crashers away. And I really want to get that silver license. But that seems to be impossible. 90% of the people racing there are either blind, or just stupid. I've haven't got one SINGLE race without getting crashed out of the race. I've been racing the UF1 lately but it seems to be it's a bumper car for others. People tend to go blindly through the inside with sick speeds crash into you and you can probally think of the result. I'm aware that I'm not a perfect driver but I atleast look sideways before overtaking or getting back on the raceline.
Now I'm wondering is it just bad luck or is it just how people tend to race these days ?
