Well, let me make it simple:

I WANT SOME REAL/FAKE/WHATEVER SUPERCARS!!!! [yes, i just realized it hehe]

So you just want cars, period?

Quote from neglouseight :

It is a Formula Renault based car. I can't be called Formula Renault because then the developers would have to buy the Renault Auto Company licensing and trade marks for it.

Well, I figure that as much a sim as LFS is, it's still just a game. So I really don't see the harm taking a few creative liberties in areas that don't drastically effect realism.

Close enough for me :\

Btw, topic is older than jesus.

Quote from duke_toaster :

I'd like all the cars that would be typically on one side forced to that side. Many WTCC - and a hell of a lot of BTCC - cars are LHD, so maybe force the XFR to LHD and the UFR to RHD (UK built, see UF1). I'm not sure about real FIA GT Porsches, but I feel sure that all of them are LHD, so the FZR should be LHD. For the FXR and XRR I'm not sure.

The LX cars are probably UK built, so they should be RHD (the same re. the UF). As I said, LHD only for the RAC. If someone has made an RHD RAC, post a pic of it. If we had a US muscle car, force that to LHD.

For the road cars, I feel sure they can co exist provided it is stored on LFSW based on nationality.

LFS may be a simulator, but it's still just a game...

The former doesn't add to immersion, it doesn't add to gameplay, hell, it doesn't add anything. Why would anybody do it?

I was actually thinking of doing something similar. Just need to find an old car that I can rip the knob out of.

(get S2 first :P)

That'd be so kick ass if you guys somehow mustered the resources to make LFS Miniatures.

To my knowledge you just need one that supports force feedback.

Why not get S2 first :P???

Not even one lap and Liuzzi's out :P

Is it raining? Is it raining? Is it raining?

No

Omg, i'm watching the GP2 Series, and it's still not raining...

Quote from tinvek :

patched servers only

Aw

Is there an abundance of patched servers? Or if i'm just looking for some seat time, would I be better off waiting for the official patch?

If I install the test patch, can I still race on pre-patch servers, or am I limited to test patch servers?

I wonder how difficult it'd be to write a third party driver from scratch to do exactly that...

Quote from tomylee :

Your race time is a pity. Maybe you should try to get into a league, there are the cleanest races normaly. Like the DTM NA Devision would fit very nice to your times zone and they are looking always for guys. The next season will start in August (www.simfia.com). Get some practice with the FXR or XRR cause those guys there are damn fast

Good luck buddy

I fear that i'd be nowhere near good enough to compete in something such as the sim FIA

I'm just looking for a group of guys that meets and races fairly regularly, at times that i'd be awake and open to race at.

Either that or a fairly regular league that's entirely amature.

Quote from Execution Style :

+1

in the form of losing credits associated with the driver, or something of value to give the death some meaning without (of course!) meaning you can't continue to drive the simulator.

the reason being I personally feel I have a lot to unlearn in my driving style, specifically because nothing I ever did in racing games actually mattered. If I started to treat the car I was in with the proper respect, I could get much quicker, I think.

would it make people hate the game or something? hmmm.. I still see value in the idea, but not for everyone I agree.

Well, the idea was more of "you're disqualified for the race you crashed in", rather than "your account dies".

:\

Quote from srdsprinter :

Well, probably most GTR type cars, although more and more race cars are geting buttons on the wheel it seems.

And you seen an F1 wheel in the last 18 years?




my background

I've always wondered, what the hell do those knobs control?

Quote from [TDRT] Spøgelset :

Right..

[TDRT] Spøgelset
Demo racer

You and maybe 20 other demo players are sane.

In fact, prior to making my last post, I had taken your advice, and was playing on a demo server.

I was racing against 3 other people, first race of the day, and I try to pass this guy on the outside of the first turn of the first chicane, which you probably know means that if all goes well, i'll be on the inside of the following turn.

Well, I hit the apex of the first turn a little too early, and ended up with little more than half my car in the grass on the second turn. No biggie I figure, i'll just re-adjust and get back on the tarmac, since I still have 2 wheels there.

But NO. The **** that I was trying to pass decides to just stick to his line, HUG THE INSIDE OF THE TURN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT HITTING ME, which effectively BLOCKED me off of the road.

Now, since I was about to slingshot into a wall on the outside of the straightaway, I decided to nudge back onto the track little by little, NOT HITTING THIS GUY AT ALL mind you.

So i'm pretty much side by side with this ass hat, maybe an inch away from hitting him, and we were both closing on the next turn pretty fast (I'm still half on the grass). I'll on the inside of this turn btw.

I figure I should probably ease off on this next turn so that I can get back on the road. BUT, BUT, this anus next to me apparently decides to pretend that I don't exist, STICKS TO HIS LINE, meaning that he blindsides me at 100+ MPH, which throws my car into the air, and his car off the tarmac.

Then he starts telling ME, "WOW, some people, JEES, CMON MAN, WHAT THE HELL!!!!!".

OH, MY GOODNESS.

I thought I bought S2 to get away from these kinds of people :ashamed:

Quote from [TDRT] Spøgelset :

Can´t really help you into a team.
just want to tell you that you shouldn´t forget the demo servers. I just checked ( official W ) and right now there are more racers on the demoservers as in S1/S2 as well as there are some good grip demoservers to find.

Good luck finding your team.

I can't ****ing STAND demo servers.

Full of retards I tell ya.

I'm fairly new to the game (been playing demo for maybe a month, and just got S2 about a week ago), and due to my timezone (I live in Hawaii), have found that it's very VERY hard for me to get any racing in on the weekdays, because really, there's barely anybody online when i'm awake :P.

So i'm just looking for a fairly recognized team that has fairly regular races, where I could just actually get some seat time in.

I'm not excessively experienced, but I can lap ok on most maps, and know how NOT to cause a collision. I also know basic things like how to properly rejoin a track, and how not to be a dick when shown a blue flag.

So really, I don't believe i'd cause too much stress in any races :\

Anybody?

I was thinking of taking apart a controller, and just routing the button pads to SPST switches that'd then be mounted in a box of some sort.

Think it'd work?

Quote from -Willi- :

check if cursor keys are assigned for any other action in lfs (steering?) - remove them there.

Nope :\

And i'm running W.

I bought a MOMO over the weekend, and am trying to get it set up to feel just right.

Everything is working well so far, except that I can't figure out which buttons would serve most useful for look left and look right. I have it on the topmost left button for left, and topmost right for right, but it's not working rly well atm. Takes too much time to press, and i'm noticing the action isn't entirely ergonomic.

I was thinking of assigning my paddles + SHIFT button to look left and right.

Then my shift functions are "sorry", pit menu, wheel temp graph, and view change, and I can't figure out what other controls would be useful to have mapped to the wheel.

How do you guys have your controls set up?

Quote from r4ptor :

Using left/right arrow keys

Not working for me

I'm not entirely sure I understand how this menu works.

How does one go about changing the options in the menu? I know that up/down changes the selection, but how would I say change my tire types in the menu, whilst in a race?

Quote from Highsider9 :

... and you die wich means you can't play anymore.

Well, sounds like a good Idea.

Hmm, didn't think about that :\

I still think it'd help to stop crashers. I figure that the crasher will be removed alongside you, and nobody would want to be kicked out of a race, no matter the circumstances.

Not to mention the embarrassment of being yelled at for removing somebody else :\

And yeah, I didn't mean like, the game tracks your damage, just that if any one turn is above a certain threshold, then your taken out.

And sorry for not searching
