exactly what misuse are you talking about?
speedfreak227
speedfreak227
that is EXACTLY what i wanted.
thank you.
speedfreak227
no it's more complex than that. here's what i mean
to get a total of 2 you can only roll a 1 and a 1
to get a total of 3 you can roll a 1+2 or 2+1
to get a total of 7 you can roll 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1
damn, i might as well just grind it out.

The oldest game known to man
no it's not monopoly, it's BACKGAMMON, and i've got a question about the odds of rolling certain numbers.
i tried looking online and found various dice odds tables but not what i was looking for and i don't feel like grinding out the odds myself.
what i'm looking for is the odds of rolling certain TOTALS with 2 dice.
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12.
i know 7 is the most likely combination but what is the percentage chance of rolling each total?

Animated gif creation?
this isn't a technical issue or a bug problem, or even general live for speed topic related so i hope i don't get attacked for posting in the wrong forum.
what i'd like to know is:
how do people make those awesome animated gifs with scenes from LFS??
i've searched out animated gifs online but all i found was instruction on making little slide show ones.
any help will be appreciated.
thank you.

Line 8
Consistancy 5-8
Racecraft 10
LINE: I'm pretty good at picking the line from real life racing experience but my "line" problems occur sometimes because i can't visualize certain corners without them being in 3-d and being able to "walk" the track. someone SOMEWHERE posted a top view collage of screenshots that they took of one of the tracks and it was great for actually seeing how many degrees some of the corners went though. i wish that was available for all the tracks.
CONSISTANCY: My biggest weakness is that i don't know all the tracks or cars very well. it's rare for me to join a race and NOT set a personal best on lap 2. though usually after 10-15 laps i'm within a few seconds of the leaders and able to turn consistant laps. i can usually come from the back to top 5 with consistancy. i'd rather play it a little cool and not go off than go a few seconds per lap faster and risk an off.
RACECRAFT: my best strength in the game and real racing. i'm rarely the fastest but i'll do lap after lap a few seconds off the pace. i can see an accident happening and set up to dodge it. i don't make risky passes and i don't block. if someone's got a run, go right ahead, though i'm not moving off my line. i'll get ya back later.
i just need more practice with the cars and to learn the tracks better.

where did all the servers go?
it's almost 10pm mountain time (edmonton) and there's only 51 servers showing up.

2 HAVE PEOPLE (11 total)
and 48 are empty.
what has happened? is it just me?
speedfreak227
edit: ok, i'm a moron and had only specific cars showing. i wish i could erase this thread now. can a moderator do it for me please?

i know this is off topic but can you explain this stat? is it something to do with your average time above the best laps posted somewhere?
i would be interested in calculating this for some of the tracks where i've got a half decent personal best.
thanx,

when i recently bought a new computer i just copied my lfs folder to an extra hard drive, popped it in, made a new shortcut to the exe file and whammo! didn't hav to unlock anything. it was all set to go as if i had never changed anything.

well, i have to admit that from time to time i go check the maximum laps, mileage, etc..... but it's mostly to show my friends and laugh at how "lifeless" some people must be.
to give them an idea i then show them my stats, which i feel are respectable considering the time i invest.

i know there's not a lot of us on live for speed, but i could do the canadian translation.
actually. you could probably do it youself.
search "."
replace " eh!"

it relies on the honor system but can't you use fuel or is it not a signifigant enough change? i don't know how long your races are either.
but pure ballast added to the cars that everyone in the server could see would be a nice touch.
how about an option to reduce the max rpm's by 500 or 700 or something? that would be a nice equaliser.

i remember trying a demo of gtr ( i think) and all i can remember is the SEXY SEXY sounds of shifting gears.

i'll happily give it a shot but what is "iirc"?
i'm old school and we type out words rather than abreviate everything.

i race 100cc go karts which have no shell around them, no sound blocking materials at all.
i don't wear ear plugs, just a helmet.
when i'm racing i can't hear someone even if they're RIGHT BEHIND ME. it's a pain because when i was just learning and getting lapped by the leaders i wouldn't hear them coming until they ZIPPED inside me at a corner.
better engine sounds are important to me, birds and people are not.

locking up the front wheels doesn't heat them evenly (maybe it does in the game but it still puts flatspots). it heats up one spot and makes it flat. braking without locking will heat the tires. all they need is load put on them, not to be melted down to square blocks.
i wouldn't call that strange. i'd call it "oversteer" or "loose". if as you're creeping up on the limt of a car's turning ability the rear wheels break loose first, it's oversteer. if the front wheels lose traction first it's understeer.
speedfreak227
can you provide a link to this or quote the info please? i'd like to read it.
thank you

nothing to do with anything, but it took me a second to figure out what you meant by that. in north america we call them elevators.

i've run out fuel idling when i had my fuel set to be almost empty at the end of the race.
speedfreak227
that is totally fair! i can agree with that.
the time when i like a ghost car the most is when some non-racer buddy is playing and i like to see them improve. it's a nice way for them to get faster or at least see their mistakes.

Cart (champ car) teams are not allowed to use tire warmers.
speedfreak227
a locked up tire in teh wet doesn't "squeel". that's the biggest problem.
