Quote from Racer X NZ :

Great formula idea but they REALLY need to learn about blue flags.
Total noob's down 3 laps dicing with the leaders. A definate Southern Hemisphere victory, Brazil, Aust & NZ.
Yeah, Verstaphen (sp) did ok, last on grid to 7th but Halliday ( NZ ) had never driven the track before & came from pitlane to 4th.
And if it wasn't for the above noob's could easily have been 3rd.
Still, as NZ said earlier, thats our worst race out of the way.

there are no BLUE flags..... thats a thing of Modern F1.

In A1 (and the old F1, ayrton senna times), the front pilots must prove they can pass the backmarker. The backmarkers are only forced to let them pass if they block intentionaly the faster car. If they block, a Black and white flag is showed and then yes, they are forced to let them pass.
(and he did..)

good old F1 times

i drive slowwwly in real life now.... LFS is enough to fill my adrenaline quota for the day.

my reaction times are slower now, Reactions rised up to ~15ms(i used to be an Unrealtournament - mohaa - COD serious player. About 10ms )

peripheral view awareness dropped alot (again, used to play unreal etc etc... now i only focus my full view into the road line, corners, etc..)

so i lost more than i gained... but i gained bigger "fights", a fight in LFS can last the entire race.
A fight in unreal lasts for a.. click


cya

the other day, my computer restarted when playing LFS.... the next boot all the settings in LFS where Default, everything gone (including Wheel configs etc)

weird things happen to lfs sometimes...

man.... I was Banned from K[2]-1 server, for something some other guy did (crashing into me, and me into one of the owners)

just like that, i was banned....
its been, Months and months, i still cant enter there.

go portugal!

its called "too many horse-power"

soften the rear suspencion, play with roll-bars and tyre pressures a bit... oversteer disappears just like that (un less you push it)

you have a wheel/pedals, correct?

hey, if eric's busy doing some more great tracks as the ones we got now, let him be, let him be dont disturb!

well, in my Thrustmaster FF GT i had to open the wheel and re-mount everything again with a "new" position for the steering sensor.
Its ok now, but... the FF its not smooth in the first 2º i turn left or right. with FF off its smooth again...

LFS plays every explosion in the combustion chamber in the engine as a pop. The amount of throttle defines how loud and clear the pop is. The RPM define how much pops you hear per second. You can hear different sounds wich are different explosions. The engine sound also dependson the exhaust.

But thats the problem. In real cars the sounds dont come from the engine alone but thats the only thing you hear in LFS. Some with high treble, some with low treble...

The exhausts sound are the most important sound a car can give... Rotation + exhausts = a car sound

Street cars its ok only to hear the engine, the exhausts are muffled..
Racing cars, its a new story. The exhausts scream and you hear it in the cockpit.
But in LFS i cant hear the exhausts in pain, screaming after that Gear down...

say, in GT legends the sounds are sweet because of the exhausts (yes, sampled sound, but the exhausts are there)

those are the flaps??... damn, they are weird lol

my current wheel flaps are like this:

about the buttons i agree, they are usefull. My wheel as 14 buttons (including the 2 mini-joysticks in the wheel), i use the 2 joysticks with functions assigned as well...

you mean the gear flaps are optional? they dont come in the bundle?

i ask because i did not see them in the pictures....

how much it costs? ...i cant find it in Europe

edit: oh nevermind.... the wheel does not have sequential gears change :\ only the gear stick....
damn it!

not thin at all! see the picture from the first post.... the tyres are like new

the only DFP i found in logitech website is for PS2..... is that the one you guys use in the pc??

happens to me too.
I race clean (no drifts at all) but after 8 or 9 laps, if i Push a bit harder in the previous 3 corners, tire pops... weird thing, is that the tire is fresh with plenty of thread left! just like in your picture :\

XRR R2 tires, AS national and always the right tire to pop (if i push a bit harder in the last corner or two.)

dont be fooled by the looks!
the wheel is made of Soft Rubber (feels so good).
ForceFeed back is strong, well, too strong (i play at 15% only, 100% it's nuts!)
The pedals, well... plastic :\
the brakes pedal is harder to push and the Accelerator is soft (just like my car pedals)

270º rotation only :\
i never tried a 900º wheel, so i dont know what i am loosing...

what Wheel you guys recomend? DFP ?

hi all!

known everywhere else as PUNTO-TD70 or LFS-Movies (when recording)..... in here im spyshagg
