How much does "Need for speed" cost for each edition?? (when brand new) do you get a discount when you have #1 when you buy #2?

Each cars position are calculated at a given frequency think its 100 hz.
When two cars come close, in one calculation there are "spare room" but the next calculation the cars are within each others "space" and booom... sky-high.. A litle bit of lag/latency between the two players adds up to this..

I would be very surprised if this is not fixed in S2 Full

Edit: Whohaa.. lots of reply's :-)

Yes, I think so. (in answer to the thread title )
I am a lot more aware of witch set of wheels needing tracktion (just use "f" in game ), and car physics. Let car settle before turns, what NOT do to in turns and stuff...
I also think that I am a bit more concerned of the exit of turns (having spare "grip" when exiting (having the possipillity to turn wider AND tighter).
I don't think that I am driving faster, but safer at the same speed.

LFS er ikke akkurat kjempestore i Norge. For meg høres det ut til at lfsnorge bør fortsette, men med påfyll av domene-navn og nye krefter.

Personlig synes jeg det er MYE tøffere med et .no domene enn noe .com .org .net som hvem som helst kan skaffe seg. Et .no domene sier for mange av oss mye om seriøsiteten til de som står bak.

Jeg er helt sikker på at den beste løsningen er å videreføre (og videreutvikle?) den eksisterende siden til lfsnorge, men at domenet endres til liveforspeed.no (eventuelt også beholde det gamle domenet) samtidig som Blackfang's resurser benyttes.

Quote from Vain :My roadmap of guesswork:
...
- Declare latest testpatch "Patch V" and make it official and required.
...

I dont think Scawen ever will release a "required" patch.
He like to use the "carrot" instead.. Just look at the famous "keyboard patch" (the patch that removed "prediction" from keyboard control).
Anyone remember the carrot back then?

Some hints: :grouphug: ants:

Funny, I have a note in my calendar saying S1 was released just some day's ago (17. jun 23:45) but I don't have the year. Someone remeber what year? Is it 3-4 years ago??

Ah, found the date at LFS.net

I think its fun, but as you pointed out, there need to be a certain level of skills on all players. It gives medium fast racers a chance of winning, and fast racers a challenge (instead of online hotlapping )

I think changable parts can be usefull to some extent.
But before it can be really usefull there must be "parts wear and tear".
Engine oil seems to be a bit over the top, but what about brake parts?
(Then also brake fade is needed )
"Standard" for a good mix of durabillity and effect,
"GREEN" for good braking but not so lasting (just a example name (based on "Green stuff") )
and "RED" for pretty good braking, but not linear brake effect (harder to get max effect witout locking the wheels), and good lasting.

Of course most people would go for RED, but then there also is a "skill" part.

Many other parts of a car can be made on the same "platform", for example suspension, but first must the orginal suspension setup be limited (to the tweaking possible in a real car).

And for those who wanna go elitish way, just go for standard parts
For gameplay all "good" parts must be penalized. The aliens will be the fastest out there anyway

Quote from JTbo :...
I can wait 30mins to have 30mins of good racing without some ppl pushing trough impossible space causing mayhem.
....

I can't wait.. As a "casual" racer, with 3 kids, wife, house, garden, cars +++ I can't spend an entire night on racing anymore. so if I have one hour to play LFS I don't use 30 mins of that time waiting for a race to be finnished (just to be wrecked at T1 30 seconds later )
But then, If i join a server with 10+ laps left of the race, I guess I would leave for another server with shorter races

Quote from XCNuse :dude.. trust me.. i can spot out whats photoshop and whats not... thats photoshop

At least the picture has been edited (/saved) in PhotoShop Creative Suite 2

The dialog is from Opera (witch gives a little bit more info than Internet Explorer.

But I don't think that just this fact does matter, as a part of the riddle..

Anyway, my bet for the patch date is easter monday, they cant have so much new features to show us untill end of april, can they?

That is just a question of the level of details.. but this first update was really 3 updates (as far as I can count )

If you have a extra computer you might want to try a local game..
Start a new (demo) local multiplayer game on the second computer.
From the computer with problems try to connect to the game (by IP)

Quote from BuddY ChRisT :i just get annoyed of the AI driving like crap, hitting the walls, and reparing at once. i wonder if there is any option i can disable to keep the AI from doing so? so is there such an option?

Actually there is one option:
Start a Local Multiplayer game, Allow 3 cars on host (max) add two AI, add your self and off you go (but then you also is limited to no repair)
(for the autorepair option)
