i see. But you rule with setups so you know what to change very quickly! I use one set you gave me for WE int for almost every track lol

usually i do the 5 lap races with R2's online... then the 60 lap race comes and i just change to R3's and hope for the best. I really suck with setups. Really suck with them. So thats all i do. Change tyres and stiff the rear suspension if i want oversteer or vice-versa. Thats about where my knowledge ends.

I went to ATC server at 9PM but nobody was there.... i miss the old times when xfr/ufr where popular

slow lol... high 22 low 23

im trying them now... and r4's too. (oddly enough, r2 r3 and r4 have about the same performance in the first corner... always between 14.70 and 14.90)

world record is mine (yet...)

Thats cool and all, but sometimes we have to men up and do the hard thing lol

So, if you want to format:

download this program
http://www.softpedia.com/get/S ... verest-Home-Edition.shtml
Once installed run it and click "make report" in the main bar. Upload that report to us and we will tell you what you need to format the thing once and for all.
The report tells us the components (board, chipset, cpu, graphic, sound, hard drives, network) and then you download and copy all the drivers we tell you into a pen or a cd.

I would do this once a year (but i made a clone image so it only takes 5 minutes to have everything as new again)

A btcc one. It's a Live For Speed like, or lfs is a btcc like. So many rekless drivers pff

man no kidding! its like they are racing through a 17" lcd screen too

he is trying to say that 58hp isn't enough to wheel spin at 80km/h 3rd gear.
I agree, unless the car is really feather weight.

i'm doing hotlaps close to world record times with R2's (the wr isn't that fast to begin with, i'm 2nd in that hotlap chart with 1.21,590) and around 1.22.500 with r3's, using flotch old inferno set...

yes dadge i was thinking R4's too.
But this set doesn't have the mechanical grip i need to keep the pace with those tyres, and when the thread gets thin they will never get hot enough...



With R3's going always for the fastest lap the performance is great for about 4 laps (lol) and will stay kind of bad (Low 1.23.xx) for many laps until the thread is thin enough for the tire to cool down quickly in the straights.
But this is 60 laps so, i will probably go with R3's anyway and drop the pace about 1 sec slower than usual, so i can use the saved grip to overtake the guys who burn them in the first 15 laps.

A loose rear end helps alot in this combo too...

my back is no good but i'm in!

killzone 2 looks unbelievable

Quote from james12s :

how bout this
why is eric so inactive on the forum

i can see why you ask that, but why does he have to be? i just look at the game and i agree with what he is doing.

Quote from jayhawk :

You may have a herniated or slipped disc. Between every bone in your spine there is a rubbery disc that acts as a cushion between the bones; if they slip or are swollen the nerves in your spine go haywire, thus the pain. You need to trace back in your memory the past few days to find when, where and how this happened, it will help tremendously.

The bad news is that this pain will not go away easily. The good news is that you are Fifteen and your body can bounce back faster.

I think you should have a discussion with your parents to see both a doctor AND a chiropractor. Usually doctors will want to cut you up and give you pain medication, thus masking the problem. A chiropractor, if it can be done, will with time, move the spine back to where it needs to be. I myself have a very bad back, and starting to get arthritis in it, but with the help of a chiropractor it keeps the pain in check.

I have a disc protrusion L4-L5 for 1year and a half. From combining computer work (seated all day) and bodybuilding.

very good advice from ayhawk. But start with a a CAT scan or MRI, not a X-ray.
Also, if its a bulged disc (a disc doesn't slip, it expands due to the disc walls getting thin/damaged. By expanding it will push the PLL and roots. Thats where the pain comes from. If they get to thin, disc herniates. Liquid escapes the disc) it will not recover like a simple wound. The discs don't heal (the walls dont grow back)

hi

what is that, preload? how you do it?


thanks

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

FXO -70Kg (3% air intake restriction)
XRT -20 Kg
RB4 -none

GTR

FXR -none
XRR -40kg
FZR -80kg

thanks!
so the normal "times" from fzr dropped what? about 1 sec?

I was really interested to know if the FXR had a handicap, because i started racing with him this week and i was wondering how close my recent PB's were to the WR. But now i know i'm racing the same car so i'm sure i'm only 1 sec off WR in As nat lol
thanks

great gesture alienT

Cr!t!calDrift, get good with the new cars so we can race you!

any link where i can see the current balance of the cars and what changes were made?

thanks

i have nice music playing behind the game...

Sometimes during casual racing i remember to check my position, and thats when i usually screw up if that position is 3rd 2nd or 1st.
Sometimes i even forget to pit.

During the official broadcasted STCC races (under the name Dan silva) when my back was less bad (hernia) i had to play the track countless times before, to the point of playing by heart. It was fun.
Now i cant do that. So i dont do official stuff.
But that way i didn't have to think about screwing up...so much. Because i eventually did lol just alot less than usual.

If you guys see me setting PB's or fastest laps during a casual race, its because i'm in the "zone". Or day dreaming while racing, as you may also call it.
anyways, play with music until you dont need to. Works for me, except i still need it

just to add something, sometimes given the circumstances (during a race), its faster to exit a tight corner drifting if the alternative is to understeer into the grass or to exit really slow due to a mistake.
During stress i not always do perfect tight turns (as NAT chicane), so i have to make that call lots of times. So, thank you drifters

i tell you guys something...
A Fast and reliable racer knows it all. How to drift, how to grip.

this sounds cliche, but tsuchiya was the drift king and we can see him kicking serious ass in grip time trials on the best motoring DVD's. Against JGT drivers (as he once was). Best motoring international and the tougue vids tought me to respect drifters.

i say is very important to know how to drift.
The drifters techniques certainly teached me how to make my rear end loose when i need it to be in a grip race, in order to overtake in a tight corner, or simply avoid a collision.
They just make it a way of racing. Thats all.

hey congrats on the buy!
and dont be let down if everybody else is faster and calls you a n00b. we all been there

hi guys

i'm sorry i missed the train, but.. What exact changes the GTR class had? how much slower or faster are they now?
I'm particularly interested in the FXR GTR compared to the others now and then.


thanks in advance

well you guys send an E-mail to correct the guy. Along with your credentials so he bothers to read it.

i just hope you are not putting him down because he is working in games other than lfs.
If forza2 works as he said, then is a big thing to all of us. It's getting mainstream.
We are sim-racers, not lfs-racers, right?

they are killing aliens...... bugs

i guess the church would prefer to see a game made about the beautiful things they did during the inquisition time.

hypocrites, all they want is money.

To better explain my self.... we are a niche group, and we are growing up, right?

let us hit a certain size and the big guys (the ones with the millions) will hit the scene really hard. Like always happens.

5 years down the road I find more likely this scenario to happen than to have a competitive final S3.
Thats why i think Scavier should capitalize now. Although i think online distribution is the way to go (steam just broke 13million active users)
