Have you tested to see if these things are already included?

I've never noticed these things, but that may be more due to the fact that fuel and tire temps play a much bigger role in the activity of the car, while the effect of the tires(excluding grip levels) is of secondary order.

man, deja vu.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Serves the twat who owns the Maserati right for parking it in the way in a construction site. Hope it's a right off and not covered in the insurance, and I hope Mr Builder gets away scot free!

Agreed. Just because mr driver thinks highly of his car, the guys that he's blocking from working don't give an ass about it*.


*Assuming the construction site was easily recognizable, which they usually are..

I believe Lexus has available an 8-speed automatic, so my driver will have no need for the FXSE.

The car on the left has a two tone window, and I'm not sure why. Look nice

I think TC would read the acceleration, not the speed. If the acceleration is greater than expected, the impulse supplied is limited to compensate, through throttle cut(LFS, saturn mentioned in first post), brakes (gm cars like grand-ams for example), or by altering the differentials electronically (F1, WRC, ..).

TC is pretty crap in the snow, I haven't found a use for it

Quote from wheel4hummer :

It was useful today when me and my dad had to drive through 3in of sleet, snow and ice. We barely made it. My sister has a saturn with 20HP less, and no TC. She couldn't make it out of our driveway. And even in the one with TC, we still had to use a decent amount of gas, and then slide over the big pile of snow from the snow plows. Go too fast, and you end up ass in a ditch. Don't go fast enough, and you get stuck in the snow!

Well the problem here is that your sister is driving a saturn. Very poor car in the snow.

The forester in the snow on the other hand

yay, 17 is mine forever. it's official.

Quote from Joseracer :

With 25km/h wind @ aston club with FOX i just could not take t1 without sliding till I added 1 degree to both wings.....

And the same applied to all other racers that day.

When the official race started, wind was @ 4km/h thus making the (already "oficial race") setup slower than it could have been at straight, so making everyone loose about a tenth of a second from their pb's, wich on a 43 lap race has influence.

I'd like to see these kinds of effecs MORE in LFS. Real life isn't fair, it doesn't provide consistent conditions. So a game aiming to simulate real life should realize this.

Run windowed, then you can alt-tab.

I was just letting you know where Canadians were racing in leagues. But yeah, I would rather race with the whole continent, there isn't that many Canadian racers. We're also spread out by 3.5 hours of time difference which makes scheduling these things tricky, reducing the field even more.

Could be fun, but no need to reinvent the wheel perhaps? The League of the Americas runs a few different series. http://www.lfs-lota.net/

without shame, Chops also runs an open cup every Sunday night. Though we're taking a holiday break now, we'll be back in january.

Quote from Tweaker :

[*]A small bend between two corners it NOT a corner in most cases (like the one someone named "not a corner" on KY GP

Yeah I penned that one, thought it was a nice fit.

I agree with having some discussion... Is 'The T1' really the best we can do here?

I'd like to race on the 18th! :mr-t:

LFS runs in wine? It always gives me a spew of errors and dies. Must investigate..

Roll a dice (or two), the number rolled move to the back of the grid in reverse order, everyone else moves up.

Site: Inferno
Team: Core, too damn fast!
League: LOTA
App: LFS Stats

Quote from VipeNess :

people who crack have no other point in life to destory assets of companies that put hard earned time in, its their way of being a kid and having a childhood outside of real life. sometimes they grow up, mostly 90% don't and continue to do so. it's only a matter of time when you get caught, because that is every crackers goal, to be famous and be seen as a hero, but deep down, they want to get caught so they can grow up; and the only way for them to grown up is with big burtha in prison break.

I think people develop cracks mainly because(in no order):
a) you get free stuff (software, notoriety)
b) it's a challenge, solving problems is fun!

I can count the number of crackers(software protection crackers) who have been caught on one hand:
Dmitry Skylaraov and DVD-Jon. I'm pretty sure neither of those guys wanted to get caught, since they both plead not guilty and were acquitted.

I don't forsee the online part of LFS being cracked since it uses an authentication system, even if it were cracked it wouldn't go unnoticed very long.

I think Kimi will be able to beat Massa, he's easily the better qualifier, and will prove to be the better racer. I think Kovaleinen will beat Fisi cleanly, and the Renault will again be a great car. The Mclaren will keep breaking down, so not a real shot at the championship for Alonso. Honda might win a race within the next 7 years.

Webber?! That's a bit optimistic.. I think he will win at monaco this year though

Quote from DeKo :

lmfao, its just the hand gesture he uses at the end of the clip, the fist going up with his fingers wrapped round his wrist. im actually crying here.

oh man, the greatest hand gesture ever, no doubt.

the close call is also pretty funny... everyone has had that look on their face at some point.

I'm thinking you mean these:

Hard to forget this game. They have one at Sega City close by, I think I need to try it out again.

Ubuntu edgy. I tried showing off beryl's wacky windows but it didn't quite work..

Congrats man!

Sorry about running you off the road last week, I didn't notice any contact at all, but my apologies. Good luck

Danke! Looks like a pretty nice series shaping up!
