I was going around Blackwood in my XRT (tailights and skin all by me and replicated from Switch83's photoshop), and suddenly, my fuel warning light comes on. The pit crew were too lazy to fill me up, so I went down to the local Injext and got some Super Unleaded

Nice!

You can customize your tail lights in skin editing?

Oops, i almost forgot

Racer Name: SketchyRollin564 (as of now)
Number: um.... 564?
Miles Driven: im not sure how to find this out
Favourite Car: IRL? Pretty much all nissans. In LFS? probably the RB4 or the XRT (im only s1)
Real Name: Anthony S.

Still taking any new members? S14 has raced with me on STCC a couple times, but the last tiem i raced with him, it was 2 AM and i couldnt even stay on the road, so i ended up just spectating and talking for about half an hour.


Ill try to race him when im wide awake tonight if possible, and ill see how that goes.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

GTR2 is addictive, I would agree. Even though the physics are poo compared to LFS, it's still addictive for some reason.

does GTR stand for anything? im trying to search for a demo

Well, im already saving for a car (im 14, but i want to be able to get my car as soon as, or if not before i turn 16), but im gunna cut some of that off and get a G25.

I love my DFP, and the sequential is fine, but i just want that clutch pedal and gated 6 speed shifter sooooo bad. You could do real clutch kicks, you could realisticly heal toe, and plus, its just so much more fun.




Um.... donations accepted?

^ Anyone?

hahaha, i love that first picture so much.

Seen a few days ago and shot a photo ...

I always thought of the XR's to look like the FC, and the MKIII, but never a stang.

Either way, other than the roof of the car, it look really really real. Amazing job.

Quote from squidhead :

Power-Over is a drift technique where you enter the turn, press the gas, and "powerslide" untill the turn ends
what you described next is also drifting... ALL sideways movements are drifting as long as theyre done for fun of it...


For ***k sake...this is stupid... (apart from back off and stereotype..)
Everyone will use a mountain pass track...so your Drifters and Drift track sounds just silly




SO? have you ever been on a mountain road so fast your tyres squeal? if yes - you would know that mountain roads are one of the twistiest and unforgiving...just like a real race track Nordschleife...
now...what's the difference again?

(if I had a pound for every thread started on mountain roads I'd afford Nordschleiffe license to LFS)

I think the mountain pass would be easyer to make than Nuburgring.

With a mountain pass track, theres no need for permission, as long as you make your own. Sure, you have to think of your own scenery and design, but didnt they do that for all the other tracks in LFS?


Anyways, like i quoted my self already 3 times. The idea of a "Drift" track is retarded. Thats like me asking if they can make a racetrack for front wheel drive cars. Stupid? Yes.


This thread is just going in circles.

the haze effect make the view of the game less pixel'ish .. and looks better, just try it and you'll see

Couldnt find out where it is. looked all over for it

Anyone with The Gimp think they can help a buddy out?

Im in the mood for joining a team. I guess ill just wait till i get s2, before i do that.

Argh, I'm late as always, I knew the Scighera, I remember it from Need For Speed 3 , Zorer - some american car?

I recognized the Scighera name from somewhere. I was thinking Need For Speed 3, Hot pursuit, but then i thought no. Guess i was origionaly right?

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

I don't think my sigreateur worked. I'm a what ever below bronze lisence is. Copper?

Thats the liscence i have, and when i tryed to get a little bar at the bottom, it also gave me the green one that says league spectator, just like yours. I think you have to be bronze or higher, i guess?

My favorite car track combo (im S1 only) is the XRT at Fern Bay Black.


I used to hate the FXR (if thats the name of the FF you start with), but the STCC has grown it on me, a little bit. I also used to never like the LX's, but after driving them, i realized how much of a blast they are. Especialy the LX6.

Funny story about the LX6, my friend (not a car freak, like i am) came over today, and i let him try LFS. I started him off with the FXR (or whatever the little understeer monster is called), and he could barley drive it. He though it was really impossible to controll, but he atleast has SOME sim driving experience, because hes played GT4 with the DFP at my house a couple times.

He thought it was really hard to control, so i said. Here, ill give you an easyer car. I stuck him with the LX6, and sat back and enjoyed the show

whats a league? (im not kidding either)

Quote from Hankstar :

I like the concept of touge and I think it'd be cool to watch it done well, I just don't think I'd like to actually do it. It'd be like racing on a rally stage where you couldn't really pass - it's not that I'm always able to pass, it's the trying that I like. Dicing with another guy who's just as fast or a bit quicker than you, but not in all sections, is what gets me off about racing on circuits.

The rules in most touge races is like this.

You are NOT allowed to pass. One car starts off on lead, the other car chase. If the car in front can ditch the car behind by the marked finish, then he wins.
However, if the guy in front can not shake the guy behind him off, and the guy behind can ride his ass the whole time, then the guy behind wins.



Anyways, i have a new obsession for mountian roads. They just look so fun to drive.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I think that SUVs are perfectly safe as long as the driver fully understands the limitations of their car. The thing is, alot of people who drive SUVs (I'm talking about "soccer moms" mainly) just dont understand how different an SUV is. I do not think SUVs should be banned, just people who think they can drive the speed limit in the snow just because they have an SUV.

Now I will ask some questions about physics. Here are a few questions I have for certain people on this forum (mainly people like Tristan who have actually raced a real car :nod:

1. When you apply the brakes, your car pitches forward. When it pitches forward, more weight is on the front of your car. Would that cause your front tires to not grip as well, therefore causing understeer?
   
2. When you go into a corner, and you have excess roll because of your setup, then more weight transfers to the side of your car facing the outside of your car. Does too much roll cause understeer?
   
3. When you use the gas, your car pitches backward. Is that what causes you to oversteer when you press the gas too early in a corner?

Thanks to anyone who helps.

1. Nope, like sombody said, more weight = more grip, to a certain extent. What causes the understeer, is hitting the brakes too hard, or too quick, thus LOCKING the wheels, creating understeer.

2. Too much roll doesnt really cause understeer (depending on car), but the stiffer suspension is just quicker reaction. Stiffer suspension in the rear, and less body roll in the rear (especialy on RWD cars), is what causes oversteer. Oversteer is when the rear wheels loose grip before the front wheels. Understeer is when the front wheels loose grip before the rears. What happens when a wheel is spinning? Your not gripping. I hope this makes sence.

3. What causes the overster is just too much power to the rear wheels, at too quick of a time. The trick with RWDs, for grip, is to be smooth. Dont SLAM on the gas, and dont just throw the steering wheel in one direction as quick as you can. This doesnt mean you have to be slow, but you gotta be smooth with it. Kinda like trying to draw a good circle with a pencil. you dont have to go super slow, you just gotta be smooth, and not make sudden movements.


Anyways, i hope this helped some, and made sence. Im not the best at explaining things.

Quote from DDM :

turn "haze" on in ur options panel, that way your screenshots will look 10x better, nice screens btw

Thanks! So what does "haze" do? My guess is it gives it a hazy (foggy?) effect?
