Quote from Hankstar :I'm sure Casey Stoner doesn't give a rat's arse if he's doing 335 or 334 kph down the front straight of wherever, as long his pitboard says "-10 Rossi".

I wouldn't agree to that really as knowing your speed down a straight is pretty vital if you ask me, if you're not doing what you think you should be doing you'll know that the last exit wasn't as fast as it could be. A few M/Kph down a straight might not seem to matter when you're fighting for 2/3 seconds but when you get down to tenths and such, every extra bit of speed you carry on the straights makes a world of difference.

+1 to the idea if its an option but I still rely on the speedo when I'm racing in every car I drive, so I don't want it to be forced or have a massive blanker plate where the speedo should be (I use analogue) so no Digi stuff!

Yeah you'll be able to spot a cheater a mile off as I don't think there's any subtle way to pull this off, if you find others getting a few more KMH on the straights this is probably due to them getting a better exit.

Yeah a few of us Mercury newbs have been playing it and Id say its pretty bloody good. I'm no fan of ISI type simulators cause they all feel totally turd but this doesn't feel half bad, I think my best time on GP so far is a 2.12.2XX - Barros is close to knocking the 2.11's.

The psychics are ok - It seems to want to understeer where you expect it to over steer and vice versa, other then that you can't moan for a freebie! Lets hope they decide to give away a brand new M3 for the competition winner

Quote from rjm1982 :You guys are being real pricks...

2 things.

1) You cant prove he is doing anything illegal. That should be enough to shut your trap.
2) Regardless of #1, its not your damned business. Its between him and the devs (and the mods). Let them sort it out if there is a problem. Regardless of what hes doing, your experience isn't changed in any way. You aren't harmed, or kept from playing, or anything. Your just being dicks for the sake of being dicks.

1) He is doing something 'illegal' - Even if he said he is using his friends account he has had to unlock it, and you can only do such a thing when you and the original owner are on LAN (Legally). The guy lives in Lithuania and his 'friend' lives in Canada, what do you think the chances are they are next door neighbours?

2) You're absolutely right its none of our business, but he's come to the official forum flaunting it which then makes it public business. It doesn't make a sod all difference to me or anyone else that he is using the crack, but its fun either way seeing him getting banned.

Ultimately the only real prick around here is you!

He still isn't banned?

His supposed 'friend' this HKS-D1 hasn't been online since Feb 07 - You think if he 'let you borrow' his licence you would've ventured online? No?

We have a bit of a problem around here with 'Forum teams' which spring up and die within about 48 hours, if however you wish to create a proper team with intentions of surviving more then 2 days check out www.lfsworld.net - I think there's a team register function on the site somewhere but I'm not certain, then just go and post in the established teams thread I guess?

Quote from BigTime :I've always enjoyed tweak, I really wish they would start making it for the newer versions.

I have most of the tweak values for most of the cars on a small text file on my drive, I have a German guy helping me find more (Robbi) and the German community in general. But as of late I've not recieved any emails from him with new stuff so Ill have to wait or do some myself, however once I've gathered all the digits and such it won't take long to release a newer version.

I gave some of the values to Phlos who said he was going to knock something together, but I have a sneaky feeling he wants money for it which is a no no

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :Im getting sick of the same old arguments "LFS is a racing simulator, not a drifting simulator" take a hint nobody cares anymore weve heard it all before of and "I dont get all these cruise servers, why do you want to drive around at the speedlimit" all that matters is that they want to do it, and that is that.

So all of you STFU please coz ur pi**in me off big time !!!!!!!!!

Oh no, we've upset the poor child and now he's all mad BIG TIME! illepall

Grow up you piss stain.

Now that I've posted my worthless bit of text I recommend the cracker gets banned and the thread gets closed.

Good stuff guys!

I've never bothered with sim related media of any sort but I can safely say I've got this bookmarked and will watch any of the stuff you guys publish.

Ah uncool.

I lost my best friend of 16 years almost a month ago, he was killed on his motorcycle after only having his licence for a month. Its been shit since and I miss him everyday, so yeah hold in there as it gets easier as the time passes.

The older 1.8 16V Clio's kicked out 137 from the factory, so 140 isn't all that much if you ask me.

The XFG on the other hand well yeah I'm not sure of any standard road car with 115 with a little 1.4 lump, If there was such a car I'm sure I would of owned it at some point

Revving 10K isn't difficult, but its going to require some decent tuning and a hefty bit of engine work/parts.

Once you've given them enough time to get used to them, I'm sure most of you will fall for them. I never liked the LX6 until a certain combo popped up SO2R (The one with the nasty last right hander, I think?) with the LX6. I was crap to begin with racing along side the top Muroc boys, but after a decent set and 20 laps I was running with the best of them. And the car handled beautifully, I guess you just need one decent experience in the car and from then on you'll be in love.

LX6 is my favourite car and I think its probably one of the easier cars to drive, its very forgiving when you actually plant the throttle - you only start messing up when you go into a corner half arsed or with a slide.

Take it to SO or something really tight and twisty and you'll learn how to handle it, once you move onto the wider tracks (BLGP/Aston) you'll find its super easy to be quick.

Oh come on mate, seriously what are you trying to pull here?

One moment you're all 'I'm here to help' then you're giving deadlines of when you're releasing your 'POC work' into the public. Sorry to say but you're nothing more then a script kiddie, you say you are not but I fail to see anything more then that.

Its obvious you want people to admire your 'talent/knowledge' but on the same hand you're trying to play the 'I'm here to help, and don't require public recognition' which just doesn't make an ounce of sense. To top if off you start to play the victim game and make out everyone's attacking you for what you've done, but in reality they're just not putting up with your ever changing attitude on the situation.

Besides this was a general thread concerning software exploits, the fact you've spent 3 pages making it all about 'muhaa' suggests that you want nothing more then attention. Your 'exploit' was really nothing big or dangerous in comparison to what this community has already gone through, just ask some of these clowns about our good mate Phlos (He actually keeps all his tidy exploits to himself - then informs the dev team of them)

Don't take this post personal I'm not here to attack you, I just don't agree with some of the things you've been saying.

K, Thnx Bye.

Quote from Blas89 :You should fellow You should...

Hehe, +1

Not sure if this is true or not, But I heard that in places like Saudi Arabia and such they don't even fit seatbelts into the cars because they believe 'Allah' will see it fit when their time is due. Like I said I'm not sure if its true, But I wouldn't be surprised if it were.

Yeah great first episode guys was informative and fun, there are however a few things you're going to need to fine tune but I'm sure that will come as you progress.

Good luck

Quote from Recury :I had the same problem with my DFP, but I just said screw it and used the combined axis for the brake and gas. It seems to work fine. Am I really missing much by not being able to have full brake and full gas at the same time?

Yeah I couldn't do without separate axis, it only makes a difference during corner entry when you need to keep the brake and accelerator on in order to keep the car balanced.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Stop Using Sql Strings! It Makes My Head Hurt!

Quote from dawesdust_12 :
Harjun, your post makes no ****ing sense.

1) Since when was Jakg, DK or Tristy been a mod
2) It's a waste of space, why don't you go out and play some footy
3) WTF is with your signature, it's like something you'd find from an 8 yearold.

Its beautiful really it is...

This is classic Jakg and Dustin action right here, you spam useless shit two posts previous then you attack another user for posting more useless shit. I suggest to the both of you, you both go outside and play footy or get a girlfriend or whatever.

1.
Most of the replies are pretty much the same here so there isn't much I could add to it, other then I'm almost certain getting stuck into LFS is a whole lot easier then other sims. I haven't purchased a licence for rFactor but I've heard and read enough to make me not do so, seems the general deal with rFactor is the lack of pick up and play option - as well as all the content mismatch issues.

2.
We already have a star that's progressed into real racing purely because of LFS, his name is Norbi Kiss and is just as fast on a virtual track as he is on a real track - Google his name and I'm sure you'll find some more information on him. There are also plenty of top teams, most of which are currently competing in a league called BoTT (Battle of The Teams - http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=79) Although this will never ultimately decide who the best team is, you'll get a pretty good idea from the results.

3.
Each to their own for this one really, I'm sure if I started on rFactor before I found LFS Id be other there now. However driving fast isn't difficult in my opinion once you've understood the laws of physics, and with other sims I just found they didn't replicate those laws well and that made the sim too alien from the real life counterpart - which made it difficult to drive.

4.
LFS has loads of different leagues for all types of racing, It all depends on what you want to do and how serious you want to take it. We have huge leagues like the MoE (Masters of Endurance) which also has its own Live Stream and commentary (even on the 24hr events :tilt The OLFSL (Original LFS League) has been running for aeons, it also allows for pick up and play. ESCC Which all the top drivers from the top teams attend, League of the Americas, BoTT - List goes on and on.

5.
Someone with less then 1000 Miles.
Someone with more then 25,000 Miles.
Someone with more then 55,000 Miles.
Scawen.

With that you'll get a good mix of opinions and ideas and such from all types of players from 'newbie' to 'just settled' and to the 'old farts' who have been playing long before Scawen was born. Round it off with a technical insight from Scawen as well as any information on the ideas and plans for LFS.

Quote from Bean0 :2 World Wars, 1 World cup....

Quote from Bean0 : We've still beaten you more times than losing to you, including the 5-1 demolition on 1st Sept 2001

Yeah poor Germany got hammered back in the dark ages when football was virtually unheard of, but then it became popular and we've wiped the floor ever since. And whenever England beat Germany (which everyone knows is extremely rare - penalties anyone? ) they have to involve WW2 to give it some significant meaning.

You got battered by some newbies.

2-1

Make sure the drivers you select are well aware of the competition they will be facing, and the sort of skill and dedication you require to compete in this event. It's no walk in the park with 24/12/6hr events as well as a couple of 1000KM runs, and with the fastest drivers in LFS competing you need keep alert!

Good luck though.

Quote from theirishnoob :also you'll notice that apart from leather seats and a slightly differant badge the skoda octiva and the vw passat are quiet alike , im guessing that skoda is owned by vw like most good companys..

Spot the obvious mate


Id take a nice vRS or vRS Diesel over a Passat (Unless of course it was the 3.6 VR6) if it was cheaper, everyone knows they're the same car so why not?

Forbin pretty much covered all of it though.

P.S : Doesn't Skoda mean like 'not so good' ?
