Just what I needed to jump-start my Monday. Thumbs up

I hated that the cops didn't even have to catch you to bust you. All it took was one bullshit drive-by "you're busted", and I never looked at this game ever again...

A few American tracks I've been enjoying in PC lately:

Sonoma: fast corners and elevation changes.
Watkins Glen: incredibly fast track - lots of gravity-enhanced traction to play with.
Willow Springs: especially the Horse-thief Mile - hilarious circuit!

Quote from UnisonOne :Htatatata. Westhill does have good spaces aye. But still. It doesn't have great rally capabilities as far as I know. So. Why can't we get a rally map? Or a wide, open dirt version of autocross. Hell why can't we have a HUGE space to make our own tracks ect...?

You can - but you need to purchase S1 at the very least, in order to use layouts. There a literally hundreds of rally layouts to choose from, from basic track reconfigurations to completely rebuilt environments.

Eğer düzenleri kullanmak için S1 gerekecektir.

You will need S1 to use layouts.

I like the idea of engine damage - especially blown engines. It happens a lot in AC and PC, usually accompanied by someone crying about how much the game sucks. You couldn't write better comedy than this Big grin

There is a mechanism in LFS that reduces engine power if you redline too much, but I've always thought that this should have the same settings as tyre wear - low, high, and realistic - with the latter accompanied by a loud bang and a sudden lack of visibility...

Pace car - definitely. Especially for oval racing. It's a part of the action that's missing from practically all racing sims.

Quote from krakilin12 :...and rfactor if someone teaches me how to mod stuff so that i can race with you on servers.

Quote from jujek :Wrong forum.. Nobody here 'teach' you how to connect to cracked servers buy any game then you will easy enable to join any server and on these servers will be normal people.

I think he means rFactor mods. Getting all of the correct mods together to race on a single server can be very confusing, even difficult, for new racers.

Quote from Fr13ndlyBandit :i get this message then i try to play with this skin

what do i need to do

In order to use that particular car, you will need to purchase an S2 license - the cost includes 50 skin slots that will make any skins uploaded to them visible online.

Any cosmetic mods that you use will be visible only to you. There's no model distribution system in LFS at all - only skins.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :Why all of sudden this thread went about motorbikes/motorcycles? how about monocycle?

It was originally about the German car, but then we got bored.

I know what you all mean - the bike leans when steering no matter where you are on the bike, and my original statement was poorly worded, exaggerated, maybe a bit too dry... and admittedly, my time on motorbikes has been limited and for the most part fairly sedate, and nowhere near the sort of speeds we're talking here, but i do know that it's just as much about where you are on the bike, as Scawen says, to get the best lateral or longitudinal performance from the bike.

Quote from cargame.nl :

But yeah to get back on the original problem;




As Cargame says, the leaning is counterintuitive to the physics you experience at your desk. Those subtle bodyweight adjustments would probably see you falling off a rig like this, but in saying that, this guy probably has it the most right (especially compared to those arcade units Big grin). I'd love to get a better look at what he's got under his feet...

The more I think about this, the more certain I am that I could design a better bike simulator Big grin

Ever had a pillion-passenger on the back who didn't lean into the corners with you? Then you would know what I mean.

Quote from yoyoML :If you can't see the point of adapting whatever's available to control the sim of choice, then you're left with only computer simulators I'm afraid.

I personally feel that there is a minimum requirement for a simulator experience - for driving, you need a wheel; for flying, you need a joystick; and so on. if you need to replace the entire control system with something completely different, then you're not really simulating.

Quote from Forbin :Wrong. Have you ever even ridden a motorbike?

So, all that leaning into corners they do is just for show? Uhmm

press shift-G to cycle through the different gearing systems: Automatic, Manual Sequential, and Manual H-shifter. Sounds like you might have selected H-shifter instead of sequential maybe?

Keep in mind too, that the fastest sets won't make it easier to control the car - quite the opposite, in fact.

Quote from yoyoML :Well, it's just going to be like fighting games on a gamepad and FPS with keyboard and mouse. For the majority of games the control method isn't anywhere realistic. I feel quite ok using joystick/gamepad with bike games.

I agree with you, but in this case the key word is 'simulator'.

Quote from super_gt :http://www.isrtv.com/motion-si ... raining-simulator-cpu-28/

Nice find - not a sim controller though, as they say: "As a first impression this may look like a video game, but in fact, the monitor displays video recordings made by “on-board” cameras at different circuits used during the World Championship season."

Sounds like it's the motorcycling equivalent of a treadmill... but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to make it into a control device.

I really don't see the point of motorcycle games - with a driving sim you can at least set up a car-like cockpit with a wheel and pedals, but I've yet to see a motorcycle sim controller.
Besides, the whole idea behind riding a bike is that the shifting of the rider's weight is what keeps it under control and going around corners. I don't see how that can be effectively simulated without factoring in some sort of sense of balance...

Quote from Sh1mbo :...volkswagen stop his protuction on 2005-2007 i dont remember the date, and the last volkswagen sedan was send to a museum on germany.

30 July 2003 in fact. The last beetle off the line was nicknamed El Rey; The King.

I also agree on the 1960's F1 - The ring road around Westhill would be the ideal environment for them Wink

Quote from Jonzu95 :...people seem to always complain, no matter what you do.

Not true - they aren't complaining. What you are seeing are warnings from people showing concern for your well-being pertaining to this forum. It's not a question of whether it bothers people - it's against the rules, pure and simple.

When you are following a car, it can be quite easy to un-follow it accidentally while moving the camera around. The lock keeps the camera locked to the selected car.

People who post content that they obviously shouldn't have access to, or who make demands that they have no right to deserve all the derision they get.

That's not elitist - it's a very basic human reaction to a lack of respect. Shrug

Quote from Anthoop :The first game (0:12) looks like an arcade game called Sprint that I put many hours into (late 1970)....is funny looking back and remembering thinking "this is brilliant...how can it get better" Smile

...and it had a steering wheel and pedals! A racing game with a steering wheel and pedals just like a real car?! I think 7-year-old me was hooked at that point. XD

Just to be clear, the pictures I was referring to have been deleted. They showed obviously edited models with physical additions, not composited imagery.

Any and all modifications to the models count as mods. This includes your rims, but also the bonnet-mounted tachometers and other such additions too.

There's nothing stopping you from using them, but you cannot post pictures of them or discuss them on the official forum.

Having said that... Nice pics Thumbs up

VolksTurbo: Are the broken links your way of posting pictures of vob mods on the forum, even though you've been warned not to?

If you keep doing this you are at risk of having your account permanently banned...
