I think it has gotten very hard to drive since the patch or atleast very hard to drive fast and consistent. We raced it this week in the Danish Racing Cup on Aston North. This is the setup I made for it.

ran a best of 2.14.85

im sorry to announce that I will have to cancel this event because of work. sorry for any inconvenience

the d3d8.dll file is included in the ghostcar download.

you must start LFS with the Ghostcar.exe that comes with it.

works just fine

as far as I know green is accelerating, red is letting off the throttle (first I thought it was braking) and yellow means stable speed. Dont think you can improve the stable speed, but maybe a little but it wont show that much. if you go a couple km/t faster the line will still be yellow

damn troll

trust me the LX6 is 100 times easier to control than the RAC. The new and patch U improved LX6 takes me back to my GPL days. Extremely fun to throw around

Quote from BBO@BSR :

The Results and stats and replays etc. for Round 1 are online: www.LFS-Events.de

There was a time penalty in the Sprint race and 2 drivers changed their places because of that... You can read it all on the website

I love stats

qual:
pretty good qual. The cork screw troll hit my car though so I "only" did a 2.14.85, enough for 4th place

sprint:
got dive bombed in T2 and went down to 12th og 14. A battle up the field to finish as number 6.

main:
starting 3rd was great. the two in front tangled in T1 and we were 3 wide coming down to T2. Was hit from behind and took out Yahh and Alt-Ctrl. Again, the cork screw troll hit my car 2 times during the main race making me spin and what not. Had a great battle with pie eater FEL, and finished as number 7.
Tough combo,... it can only get easier thats for sure

c'mon people I want atleast 10 people signing up

Quote from banshee56 :

Ummm.....why is the WORLD Turbo Challenge open to all European S2 drivers?

Is the Western Hemisphere no longer part of the World???

yes it is but the World in this case is the LFS virtual world

Are you ready for an event out of the ordinary? This event offers 2 cars competing on 6 different trakcs in a timeframe of 90 minutes. We get to visit every corner of the LFS World. We'll start out on Blackwood and make stops at South City, Fern Bay, Kyoto Ring, Westhill and finally at Aston.
The rules are few, and the challenges plenty. Hope you'll have fun.

World Turbo Challenge Tour is open for all European S2 licensed drivers.
There will be one qualifying session prior to the first race. This is to determine the starting order of the event.
After this it will be reversed order after each race depending on the finishing order the race before.
Each race will be approximately 10 minutes duration depending on the number of laps on each configuration.

Race schedule is as follows:
Blackwood GP 10 minutes (qualifying)
Blackwood GP 8 laps
South City Classic 12 laps
Fern Bay Green 8 laps
Kyoto Ring Oval 12 laps
Westhill International 5 laps
Aston North 4 laps

The event will take place on Wednesday May 31st at 20.30 CEST (Central European Summer Time) - (19.30 British Summer Time – 18.30 GMT ).
It ends around 22.00 CEST (21.00 BST).

The event will be held on the www.liveforspeed.dk server. Passwords will be sent out to all participants Monday May 29th.
This event is to gather people to have some fun and close racing.
Therefore there are not many rules because I expect everyone to know how to race and behave on a race track.

General Rules:
Drive clean and fair.

Track conditions:
- No wind and racing in daylight.

Disconnection:
- If you got a disconnection during the race you can not rejoin the race but you can spectate and join the next race.

Reset:
- You can reset your car if you are on the roof/side or stuck in the sand, but DON’T do it in front of other cars (wait till the track is safe).
- no SHIFT+S allowed.

Cars:
- 2 cars are allowed in this event - XRT and RB4.
- The car you choose to race is to be raced in all the races during the event. No switching cars. Doing so will result in 10 point penalty for each race the rule is violated.

Yellow and Blue Flags:
- Respect the yellow and blue flags.
- Yellow flag - be cautious
- When/if you get a Blue Flag let the faster car/s pass you easily as fast as possible.

Race Starts:
- There will be “lag-lap” in each race.
- Remember to close all unnecessary programs and websites in the background (like MSN, LFS World etc.) before you race! Because these things take away a bit of your Internet bandwidth and this could cause lag (timeouts) for you and the other racers on a server.
- There are no restarts of the race - no matter what.
- After each race there will be reversed order depending on the finishing order the race before.

Pit Stops:
- There are no forced pit-stops. You can of course do a pistop if your car is damaged.
- DO NOT use shift+s to go to the pits during the race or you’ll be disqualified.

Points:
Position 1 = 26
Position 2 = 23
Position 3 = 20
Position 4 = 18
Position 5 = 16
Position 6 = 14
Position 7 = 13
Position 8 = 12
Position 9 = 11
Position 10 = 10
Position 11 = 9
Position 12 = 8
Position 13 = 7
Position 14 = 6
Position 15 = 5
Position 16 = 4
Position 17 = 3
Position 18 = 2
Position 19 = 1

is this supposed to work stand alone or do i have to extract the files in the lfs folder?

when i try and run it i get an error saying:
component COMDLG32.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered; a file is missing or invalid

have no idea what it means

best smoke ive seen was in papys nascar racing 2003 season. If smoke like that was in LFS it would be awesome

I was wondering if it was possible to create a program to run along side LFS and have it monitor the rpm or whatever and run an external sound file kinda like GPLSO sound mod.

I have no programming/modding skills just wondered if it was possible??

Quote from himself :

Why the stiffness is so important in racing?

stiffness keeps the wheels on the ground

a go-cart for the small parking lot track builder thing. would be perfect, and a big bulky V8 for the oval

get a stock car looking vehicle with a big rumbling V8 and see all the nascar fans swarm LFS as there hasnt been a decent Nascar sim since papyrus' nascar racing 2003 season

Quote from dave81983 :

Before the patch the XF GTI was way faster than XRGT. Now they are within a 10th of a second of each other on BLGP. So why IN GODS NAME do people not run the two together on the servers anymore. Almost all the XFGTI servers do not have the XRGT enabled. This is ludicrous!

All we wanted for this class was equality, now we have it and I cant find anywhere to drive them together!

Hosts running XFGTI please put the XRGT back in!

I second that

you deserve a few weeks off now

Quote from Scawen :

And yes there was a disadvantage with having the credits, because Victor often got messages in his technical support email, by users asking if they could use their credits to upgrade their car with neon lights, etc.

omg lol

skip the point system and make use of the training mode to get cars unlocked. This way people HAVE to atleast do the training mode and get used to the car before they trash it up online

Quote from bbman :

Nope, "Just racing" is the one you'd want to advertise Lfs...

where can I find this?? I wanna watch it now

edit: nevermind I found it

would appreciate if someone would render my skin. Would love if it was possible to have the cars parked like RTOG Papafant did here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=110828#post110828

Thanks in advance.
