I`m #118 in Road....and way down in oval...

that's awesome! Nice job mate!

Quote from titanLS :

I'm sure there are at least a few LFSers capable of top 50 though...

there's a big difference between being capable of and achieving it

Quote from Scrabby :

Wish i had money for a nice oval/stockcar

yeah, the Late Model is bloody good fun!


==============================

For the Pro series, Nolan Scott gets a mention. Interestingly, he's usually being written about in LFS right at the top of the show.... Here is whats written about the PRO series coming up:

Quote :

It’s much the same story in oval racing where Joshua Guiher, Jeff Bottolfson, Zsolt Hamvas, Bryan Mooney, Tim Whalen and Nolan Scott occupy 245 through 250 in the ratings but can’t let down their guard for a moment as George Buhr, Pierre-Antoine Coipeault, Jeremy Huthinson, James McElhattan and Alvin Bailey have the top 250 in their sights and well within reach.

Let's hope Nolan can keep his place in the top 250 of the oval racing at iRacing and drive the PRO series..... good luck Nolan!

Who else from LFS is in the top 250 for road or oval?

Quote from Scrabby :

Doing some oval races now as StableX tipped me to get up to SR3.0. I do enjoy oval racing but not on these little Legends lol

Oh wait, i'm gonna do 3 TT's, it's faster that way

TT's get less SR though..... you have to make sure your MPR is ready too. That means 4 races or 4 TT's in the oval for oval license. You then need 3.0 SR too

Hi everyone,

I've got a quad core 2.83, 4gb ddr2 ram and a Point of view 9800 gt VGA and LFS S2 Z.
The game keeps crashing after a lap or less. First it freezes and then multiple glitches appear. Does someone have the same problem??

Please help, I tried everything!!!

Thanks in advance!

what video drivers are you using?

yup... I can't wait to try this game when it makes it to beta...... though I'm happy to have invested in its early stages of alpha......

seems a little slow on development these days though...... too much port and stilton maybe

Seriously though... I see this game as a sellable game and therefore not Alpha or beta.......

best value for money game I've bought though ....

nice lap time too

totally agree... nice thing to add

+1

I still drive in LFS and by far it's been the best value for money driving game I've bought.

I've also got iRacing and coming back to drive LFS after having an iRacing drive, you really notice that the track surfaces need a load of work in LFS. They are just ridiculously smooth.

Quote :

My ask and suggestion is to Eric>:

Is there a chance that all the tracks might be redeveloped in the near future to include a more realistic track surface with bumps? I think this would massively enhance LFS if it was possible.

In addition, some more tracks please

Quote from DaveWS :

At last. After 2 more shocking races earlier today, it's finally clicked together. Led start to finish with a new PB, and no incidents, long may it continue. *prays*

about time grumpy bar Steward

nice to see a review...... I do think the driver score should be more highly weighted. Without the Drivers working correctly, the wheel can't really be used effectively. It's been Fanatec's main let down throughout the wheels history.

Maybe you could do a review of what the Wingman software offers compared to the likes of the fanatec software and what variables can be tweaked.

Overall though, it's awesome to see a wheel to give logitech a run for their money. There is nothing like the Fanatec pedals on the market for a comparible price as far as I can see.

Quote from XCNuse :

anyone know if anyone will be showing it on satellite?

if so hope my dad knows, i'm gonna be up at the race track tomorrow!

Man, I'm so jealous...... have a fantastic time and take some pics

I can't believe there isn't a thread already for the Pikes Peak. One of my favourite events to see videos of afterwards.

Has anyone seen the new Ford Fiesta that they're using for this years event and that Grunholm will be driving?



Although Andrea Ericksson has crashed his in practice already:



I wonder if this years Suzuki can break the 10 minutes?

Quote from The Very End :

If someone could be kind helping me, and find a suitable, and cheap travvel plan, I would be much thankfull and most likely if there is a good alternative I definitively be there.

Went to see "Pour Elle" last night. Really good film

The new site will be more useful and more focused than either of the site's predecessors and should serve V1 well. Fortunately I have a few months to create the new site because we will not be launching the new V1 season until at least part way into the next F1 season. This will give me the time I'll need to casually build the site in exactly the way it needs to be, to maximise its effect.

So hang on a sec.... an Xbox with relatively crappy technology can have a game that looks like that but we, with kick ass PC hardware and GTX295's can't get anything even similar to that....

Quote from DaveWS :

LOL. Well, no real money has been spent on developing the sounds.

that's different to having no budget though :P

Quote from DaveWS :

Edit2: It's bloody frustrating sometimes, a whole team of professional guys supposedly work on the sound for iRacing, and they have everything available to them. Meanwhile LFS has no budget, nothing available, and is able to produce a synthesized sound to an OK level without any real life samples...

Where does the no budget come from? They've made good money from LFS. How do you think they managed to include a car stereo in the FXR?

Quote from Scrabby :

Oh My God!
Noobs are really dangerous at Lime Rock!!!
The first few turns you really have to be very carefull cause one can just take you out

yeah, totally..... but once you get past the first few corners you should be okay. You have to decide if its best to qualify and get to the front of the muppets for the start OR sit at the back and watch them take each other out

Another lotus vid...I want it nowwwwwww



It also looked entirely your fault

As much as I'm excited to drive the car, they have the sound wrong:

Probably doesn't help Dave but you do get one restart I think, even in the Mazda....... you come back on a lap behind but can be worth it. Sad you had a bad one

Quote from trebor901 :

Someone who spends too much time playing a GAME! why take it so damn seriously

Because he develops the "GAME"

Quote from Crommi :

Excited about Lotus too, but most likely I'll just end up throwing it into tire barriers time after time.

Here's an interesting blog from the developer of the Lotus.....

excerpt...........

Quote :

“FAST! Unbelievably FAST!” That’s the first thing that popped into my head the first time I drove a development build of the Lotus 79 in the sim. I just couldn’t believe the grip, the acceleration. I always figured I have a pretty good idea of just how quick a Grand Prix car would be behind the wheel. But the sensation I got when I finally started making laps just blew me away. The car just screamed up the Esses at Watkins Glen. 130, 140, 150 and then 160 mph all before reaching the backstretch! On the brakes hard at 175 mph and shoot like a canon through the Bus Stop. “Wow!” I thought to myself, “How could any sane person ever strap themselves in one of these things for real”. This thing is literally a rocket ship! The funny part is I didn’t get the full sense of how much performance this car was going to have. Although the stats on paper look very impressive, driving it just something entirely different.

thanks mate..... downloading.... those two are bloody fast too. Glad you got put in a top field. Some very good racing to be had in the skippy.

I'm looking forward to this next week actually. Full Sebring track. Should be a good blast but I think on a track like that it needs a larger field.......
