Untold Positive:

S2 voucher giveaways can now be based off a competitive open-wheeler.

About clutches: Overheated, then switch of your car, and wait in pits, until it has cooled down. works. Needs time (quite real ).



You saw latest Top Gear? Go watch it again, then you might get the point...

"To finish first, you first have to finish." Dont destroy your engine, or do Shift-P then in the race, which will give you in a proper endurance league some good penalty (by far less than an engine exchange would take IRL).

Thank you, yes! Someone else gets it!

Endurance racing is more than just hotlapping for X laps or X amount of time!

And while I sympathize for the keyboarders strugling with the new patch, Don't expect the rest of us to Sacrifice the Realism of this Simulation to cater to you. Either get a wheel, or deal with it.

Scawen has done as much as he can to support those of you without the proper equipment, but maybe he cannot embrace his vision of LFS while making things easy (or just status-quo) for you.

My, all the complaining is really saddening. People need to stop and consider the possibility that Scawen thought about your "issues" before he put the new features in the game. He doesn't seem like the kind of person to rush into things on a whim. Once you consider this, I think truthfully you will see that 99% of the time, new features are improvements to LFS.

Test patches and new releases are making the forums such an unhappy place to be.

Thanks for all the hard work Scavier!

not a problem, a feature. The XRR and FXR are now sequentials, the FZR is the only remaining H-shifter.

About 10 mins into testing... and my Goodness. Kudos to you guys Scavier... This is awesome.

Immersion and Intensity are Through the Roof!

Need an auto updater for our sets though :P

Where it is xrt on the demo ?

It's under the buy S1 now part.

I *Think* people are complaining against balancing the two cars in question. I would see no problem if servers like Redline were open to both cars, while telling people they obviously won't be directly competiting against one-another in terms of outright performance.

lol.... "hmm, whats that flying through the air?"

Quote from 128MB :

Is this a total new car? How fast will it be? Faster than the FOX? Or is it going to replace that?

Slightly slower than the FOX, ~140hp motorcycle motor vs the ~190hp motor of the FOX. The FBM will be somewhat lighter, and shorter wheelbase than the FOX. Apparently the FBM won't have the downforce producing under body aerodynamics of the FOX, when added to the two other main differences should make it a very engaging drive on the tighter courses.

Funniest. Skins. Ever?

The last Patch had 750 people on the forums at that time. Totally unneccessary too, as its an auto-patch feature now.

Judging just by there being only ~350 people on the forum, we've got to get more people here so Scawen will release the patch. I heard he won't release for less than 800 on the forum this time... (rumor mill anyone???)

Sweet goodness... This will be fun.

Hopefully the class parity will be such that the fox's (foxes?) won't be continually punted off the track.

Looking forward to this one!

edit -> Christmas Clash II: Christmas by the Bay?

Quote from mrodgers :

I'd love this option as well, for any crashers out there on the server. They crash, and through force feedback, the get the feeling of the front wing ripping off and smacking them in the forhead

I'm really glad I wasn't the only one to catch this. I too want to feel the wing through my hair.

Back On Topic: I do think when cresting a hill or bottoming a valley, you have to be very in-tune with the FFB to feel the corresponding decrease or increase in steering weight.

- A LMS series style points system that rewards deeper into the finishing order would benefit IGTC 2-fold as I see it. A) It would add incentive to teams to stick it out, buy into the endurance aspect more. B) It would add to the Prestige of the Team Championship aspect of the IGT Championship. Core did exactly what they needed to do to win season 1 (kudos to them), but in-so-doing highlighted that the season could be won with some-what problematic minimal attendance. Possible bonus points awarded for leading a lap, most laps, highest positional gain could be reasonable.

-A tentative schedule (regardless of the actual % finality) would greatly be appreciated.
-Two Class Racing with the New LMP!!!! .... er... sadly... not yet?
Eagerly Anticipating Season 2,

Avon Tires as well. Neato

Wowzers.... Cool Beans Scawen!

Have not seen this show yet, sadly. Looking forward to it though, surprising to hear Alex didn't get the tall gene from his pops.

Agreed, I could not justifiably promote one product over the other without first-hand experience with both first. (Both are big commitments for purchasing, especially without said first-hand experiences)

Apparently Frex has/had (maybe?) something similar to this design. They, at one point, claimed the full motion platform like Force Dynamics would do little more than upset your equilibrium.

Who's up for attatching one of the CXC's onto a Force Dynamics?

Quote from SamH :

That looks like fun! Although the seat and the wheel are separated, the seat moves but the wheel doesn't.. doesn't that make it feel like your seat isn't bolted down properly? I think I'd feel like I was clinging on for dear life!

The Theory behind it is that moving you via the seat (seperate from the wheel) more accurately recreates the illusion of G-forces on your body. You have to twist your neck to keep your head in-line, similar to how you might have to IRL.

No-idea if this is true or not, but that's how they market it.

It's not a Core 2 Quad E6600. E6600 is the Dual Core part. Q6600 is your chip.

35% has to be about the lowest winning percentage possible. Sucks to go on the wall of blame with that, especially since 42% think it was both or a racing incident.

Huh? did he even post in this thread?

Ouch, missed the cuttoff... But I'd be torn between both of them, racing incident, and driver A. A was Very aggressive in "finishing the pass", eventhough B was still there.

Pretty neat!

Agree with some video thoughts, you need real time to appreciate the true time lapse between the starters.

Perhaps (?), maybe just one representative from the TBO and GTR classes? They seem to loose time fighting one another through the lap.

I agree that the finishing situation at AS GP (rev) would be ideal, but it was neat to see the race happen on FE Black.

Good Work Guys!

I think I'm alone in really enjoying the GTR's on the longer FE tracks.
