1: BF1 wasn't in the options

1: It should have been - call it a spoiled ballot.
2: I just voted for SO long so don't think it is closed.

BF1 SO long

agreed, what I wrote was wrong, thats why removed my post, I said that in my reply to you.

I think what everyone agrees on is that bf1 drivers are best

Quote from Fetzo :

hrhrhr, awesome! you really should at least check lfsworld before you post something like this . you are talking with sinbad here :P

I did do that, he's not very good at bf1.

However, having read his post again I realised I'd misundestood what he'd written!!!!! Doh! He wasn't saying that bf1 is rubbish but giving another example of a generalisation. So I just changed my post to 'lfs'

lfs

You don't need to justify racing the UF1s when no critisism was levelled at racing that class of car or the fun that can be had with it.
I just said the bf1 was too fast and difficult for most people to drive at a level where they can go toe to toe.

This leads me to another point - that the people who are fastest in the bf1 drive the virtual streets of lfs with the smug satisfaction of knowing they are the best of the best.

Nearly everyone who can't drive them ends up saying things like 'they aren't as much fun' or 'you can't have decent races with them'. No, YOU can't have decent races with them

ps - you in general, not danowat.

Its too fast and too difficult for most people. People complain it isn't fun - hah, thats because they just don't have the ability to go wheel to wheel for 10 laps against 5 other cars while setting near pb laptimes. Then it is fun

I can't get it to work.

It worked the very first time I tried it but never since...... Everytime I try to run the program it says I need to unlock / register liveforspeed. I have tried to lock/unlcock and this doesn't help. Does anyone have any idea? I have installed VBruntime and put the OCX files in the lfs directory.

Also, does this work on all the S2 cars? I would like to be able to change downforce etc on the formula cars.

the bf1 gear change is nice but the engine sound needs to be much rougher, the v8's are not harmonic at all, they just roar.

Have you got SP2 now where you didn't before?

Turn off the execute disable bit feature in your bios and this should stop happening.

Try other games that you know well or a benchmark and see if they are also slower. If they are then you know its a system problem not lfs. If it isn't slower then chances something has changed in the lfs configuration.

hahaha rofl, such fanboyism does make me chuckle.

Anyone who says that rFactor or LFS is crap either:

1: Hasn't played them
2: Has a crap computer
3: Is extremely infected with Fanboy puss.

The only thing I can think is that you DONT understand the implications of the word you used. I hope that's the case, because that's fixable.

If you mean a power abusing, intollerant of desent dictatorship then yes I understand. Hey, at least I didn't call him Mel Gibson!

I got kicked off a server for voting to restart.

When I got back on I called the admin a Nazi ******* and I got banned. Where's the justice?

Can you port this to psp?

What was said earlier about making your intentions clear is correct. You need to let people know what you are going to do, be it lapping or being lapped, if you spring a move on someone, don't be surprised if they cut your nose off.

Normally most people respond well when after the race if you ask them to obey the blue flags and not to race people lapping them. If they don't, kick them, it's not hard is it?

It would be easy to detect whether there is a stopped car in the pit lane area. If so, allow people to break the yellow line.

I think it's if any part of the wheel goes over the line. But we definitely need this.

You forgot

80's F1 Turbo cars
and
Indy cars for oval

I don't quite understand, are you saying you don't want people to try and pull you on LFS or you don't wan't people to try and pull you in LFS by methods previously seen?

There should maybe be 3 control/view setups that you can customise and switch between?

Is that really a big problem? I think the gear shift control change can be done in less than 10 seconds from any part of the game.

good point, if you are in pole, get into the corner asap, if you take the racing line you will be at the apex just as the crazies come flying in

my diagram is about when you are in 2nd - 6th on the grid.

If you are lower down than that, just maintain your position and distance and don't lockup into the 1st corner, remember that the cars in front of you are progressively braking earlier and eariler making your braking point earlier than the car in front.

Agreed.

Here is how I try to stay away from it.

In the picture you can see the apex where most people go straight towards, the crash normally happens just before where all the cars try and go into the same space of track.

The line round the outside is the one that I take if I'm near the front of the grid, there is more room out there and you can often either drive round the accident or pick you way through the scattered cars.

If you are on the outside of the corner it also allows people who have overcooked the corner more time to see you, get out of their slide and avoid you. If you are on the inside apex and they're in a slide, there's nothing they can do to avoid you.

This doesn't stop you getting rear ended by someone who really wants to cause a pileup of severly missed their braking point but most often, people lock up while heading towards the inside apex, so the outside of the track is often clear.

Yeah, people often complain about being taken out and stuff at T1 and I know sometimes there is nothing you can do.

However a lot of the time it's because you aren't any good at AVOIDING the accident, you have too see these things coming a long way ahead, make your self some space on the track and drive defensively, its a skill that some people don't even know exists, let alone have mastered.
