Awesome work, its my new desktop

I love art myself, got into it through graffiti as a youth and watching my uncle hand draw some remarkable drawings, I more of a digital artist and have digitally drawn and modified cars in photoshop for many years. Yes theres mistakes in your hand drawing, but that isn't a problem its still a fantastic piece or work.

And it makes a great desktop picture.

id go with a set of used 2x 512mb value ram sticks, and a cheap ati 9800pro

That would give u a good upgrade and if u find a good user on ebay u should get it for cheap. id say about 60-70 euros

Id love to see 2 hill climb tracks one tarmac and one dirt.

And for LFS to get together with some like Prodrive to do something rally related would be awsome.

Sorry to take the thread a little off topic but i have an old Microsoft FF sidewinder, in my software tool theres 3 options i have ticked .

Centering force : HIGH
Force feedback : High
Lock force to front and back wheels : True

Is this the correct setup for my wheel or does it not matter with this old thing ?

Its catch 22 m8 till something is done about damage for cutting curbs.
If you don't do it your slow simple as that. when im playing with freinds or on a local ill keep it clean as possible. But Online its a must to be fast, on certain tracks.

As far as i no theres a 2 wheel rule in racing were 2 wheels must be on the circuit at all times. Some people just push this rule and then some..

FE bay is my biggest gripe those curbs would be suspension killers in real life.
At the no there time busters. The more you cut the faster u go.

As soon as we get blow outs and a more realistic damage system, this little grips will be done from the game imo.

Without going to in-depth, I do agree some of the cars mainly the road cars all feel a little weird , i think the cars with slicks and down force handle pritty realistic as far as grip goes. Expect the FWD's gtr's they eat tires a little unrealistic for me and skid around alot.

But i do understand what you say about the being on ice feel to the road cars, and i totally agree about how the lx's are portrayed in the game just feels wrong.

Hopefully the new physics changes improve the overall feel plus a better system for tire heating and cooling.

In LFS defense, for me its still the best sim out there. Maybe the physics are a little weird, for now but it does have a very solid base in which to improve on.

Hopefully it goes in the devs go in right direction to improving the overall feel in which the cars handle.

Intel 640 3.2 ghz (single core)
1 gig of corsair XMS ddr400
ati x850 XT PE

Max graphics inside LFS outside High quality AF at 8x
AA at 4x + some high res level textures.

Game sits at 99 fps dropping down to 60 min at any point but a full grid My fps can drop down to 27/25 fps the lowest ive seen as we close up into t1. Soons t1's out the way the fps gradually start climbing up to 99.

Quote from Becky Rose :Almost identical to what is going to happen in the new CTRA. Have you got our forum access or something? lol.

Are you guys going to be adding a LX class 2 maybe throw the RAC in to the mix ? lx4 for new racer lx6 and RAC for licensed racer maybe ? or RAC and FZR license/class ?

Its so hard to find a decent server running these cars.

I wouldn't mind seeing a GTR license either. I enjoyed my short time on stcc and CTRA. Ive moved to cone dodgers while CTRA's down nice enough server but it just doesn't have the same sportsmanship and quality of racers i saw on ctra and stcc.

An LX license wouldn't go a miss aswell imo. i can never find a decent server to do some lx4 racing.

I agree i think there improve the game for the better, but there is a limit we can take it before the games stops being fun.

I see myself a decent enough driver, But i still make the odd mistake here and there. I'm not super human so the odd touch of a wall, or misjudging of a braking point, is bound to happen. Even the best of you guys must glance a wall during a race. Certainly off the start theres so many ways you can take damage from other drivers. Why should i keep getting penalized because of someone else stupidity?

The cutting of FE kerbs is just horrid, but if you want to keep with the front runners you have to do it.. For me it totally ruins the fell of fern bay The S bends are areas in which the racing should tighten up with giving the racer behind a chance to close in if u make a small mistake, then have a sprint up out the the s bends up the following straight.


People who are retarded enough to smash into the back of you into T1, use you or your back end as the brakes into a braking zones, or use walls as aids to get them round bends, anyone who cuts curbs thats would destroy a cars suspension in real life should all be penalized imo..

Quote from XCNuse :

Plus, demo racers have no say in the weight distributions, mainly because they only have 1 car of that class and that is the XRT, which was fastest along with the FXO completely through the history of LFS, and it is about time the RB4 can keep up with them, so the devs made some changes to slow them down.

Get used to it, because that is the XRT from now on.

The only thing i dont get is why restrict the best cars inclass instead of improving the ones not so good. ?

Why not use the best car in the class as the benchmark and improve everything around that, instead of going in the other direction by dumbing everything down.

Im all for balancing, theres nothing worse than driving an RB4 and then watch the FXO and XRT's pull away into the dinstance, while your pushing as much as you can.

I'd just rather see things improved than dumb down. Creating a class of cars with pros and cons. Not just balanced by sheer weight.

That way everyone would be happy. would'nt they ?

This track + maybe SPA are the only 2 real life tracks im actualy intrested in seeing in LFS.


Nothing really grabs the attention like those 2 tracks. Id defo pay for both of these to be added.

Yer im using some of those sets also use the BSP set and Bobs alot of the time.

Just tried doing some KY N and again after 2 laps the inside of the tires are red raw its doing me nut in as i just cant keep grip with the tires they cook to easly for me sometimes within one lap the inside of the tires is red and sometimes the outside is still blue at this time.

I no high powered FWD need to be driven cautious, but if i brake any easier and accelerate any later, theres no way im going to be any were near a decent lap time.
