Quote from thisnameistaken :I'm pretty sure I'm made several extremely racist posts about ze Germans (see?), but they're not as sensitive about it as Americans because they know they're not total dickheads like the Americans.

It is funny to see someone feeling defensive resorting to "Nobody ever says anything bad about the Germans". I mean, come on!

http://www.homemade-dessert-re ... gerbread-men-21297471.jpg

That made absolutely no sense at all, I don't even know what to say, I shouldn't even be posting, But seriously, I don't get it.

I hate America as well, That doesn't mean you just let people shit on it, I mean it is a country, people probably are offended.

Absolutely genius, Can I have this? Those LX's I can never seem to control, This would help so much.


To learn, Incase anyone thinks I want to cheat, I want to improve my laptimes and know when it is slipping.

Quote from Shotglass :that still doestn make it racism becasue again american is not a fecking race



oh you mean like people here do pretty much kinda sorta all the time?

I'm going to just end it here, This is stupid.

Quote :Although the term racism usually denotes race-based prejudice, violence, dislike, discrimination, or oppression, the term can also have varying and contested definitions. Racialism is a related term, sometimes intended to avoid these negative meanings. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.

Show me the thousands of post you see bashing Germany, And I'll see about your discrimination against America.

By the way, German engineering is most likely under American engineering, That of which is under Russian engineering.

Quote from Shotglass :1) american isnt a race
2) poking fun at americans is perfectly acceptable particularly in a mostly british forum
3) i was merely pointing out facts supported by a wealth of evidence

1) Read this. 3) I shall not post images, or links to images, which contain offensive content such as nudity, pornographic, racist or any other clearly offensive content such as excessive violence.

I can take 1/4 your posts on this forum is "poking fun" At America or Americans, As racist. Look up " Discrimination " It falls under racism.

2) I'm sure if everyone walked around saying germany sucked you would get offended to. Just because this is a British forum and you happen to be living in Europe gives you no rights. Here, Let me show my ass by saying German engineering sucks, Because my mercedes has broke the auto closing trunk mechanism by itself.

3) Point out whatever you want, I was stating my opinion, Just like in my first post, I don't really know what makes a car a car, I wasn't trying to win a job with some mechanics.

Quote from Shotglass :ahem you do realise that eg f1 has been using a single wheel nut for tha last 3 decades or so?
and so have prototypes and gt cars and pretty much every other high end motorsport

the only reason why nascar uses 20 nuts per wheel is... well theres not easy way to say this so lets just go for the jugular... americans are rubbish at engineering

Maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass and stopped trying to roll off as a smart ass you could have read the clear letters saying " I AM NOT A CAR PERSON" Thus; I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEM MUCH.

And being a racist can get you banned, racist covers being a asshat about a certain country to, If Europe is so to you good keep your head deeply planted in the dirt, and don't ever come out.

Quote from brandons48 :And... yes! I've just heard in my right ear, it is, in fact, snowing in hell!

Quote from Bose321 :Is it 2012 yet?!

You guys are ****s. A class ****s, Infact, you are worse than ****s, I just can't say it on this forum.

Quote from Jakg :I thought racing cars used some sort of weird screw assembly like the Carrera GT?

-snip picture-

More lugs makes sense for more load, but I thought the hub itself supported the load, and the lugs held the wheel onto the hub and just had side-to-side load?

I would guess so, I'm not a car person, But I believe the "hub" is attached for decals, And or to hold center mass in the tire, So the lugs can evenly distribute pressure and weight.

To answer the first part of your question, nascar can get four tires changed (Two tire changers) in as little as 14.7 seconds. That's 6 lug nuts each tire, and a hub in the center.



I suppose that is Incase one pops off, You can still continue on, But the "Hub" is most likely to hold a hubcap on, But since that tire doesn't have one it's safe to say it was used as a decal.


Quote from brandons48 :

I thought racing cars had Single Lug wheels like this?

To get them on and off in the pits?

No sir, As the picture above states, You need more lug nuts than that to keep the tire on, You wouldn't want to go 180+ MPH knowing the only thing holding you on the rubber, is 1, Big ass lugnut. That is most likely a show room car ( Those rims are not meant for racing, I don't believe ) And the weight of a car breaking =/= Under amounts of stress is quite dangerous. One lug nut could undergo serious wear and tear before the stint of the tire is complete, I would put my bets on metal fatigue. It depends on the width of tire you need to race correctly. If you need slicks, you're probably rolling with 4 to 6. If you are going with a ricer car and big ass 21'' rims you probably will have 1 - 8. The reason that can be one is if the car is only cruising, Then it wouldn't matter, Low profile tires can probably handle 1 lug nut and or hub because it's not under much stress, The rim supports and is 3/4's of the tire/rim itself. However bigger tires mean you possibly need more support for the tire. Thus is the reason race cars can go with so less.

Imagine yourself holding about 2,000 pounds, Plus occasional stopping, turning, break dust/heat. And you only have 1 friend for support. I know that sounds retarded, But you should be able to wrap your head around that, the more friends, The better.

I'm just repeating myself now, But the height/width of the tire determines the height/width of rim, the aspect ratio of both most likely determines what and how many lug nuts to use. Depending on forces expected - Weight braking / accelerating

Then again, I'm not a car person.


Edit: I should add, I forgot the fact nascar now uses 5 lug nuts, And slightly harder compounds.

It's weight, I do believe, The more weight you have, The more lug nuts you need to hold the frame on the tires.

For instance, Trucks have about 6 or 7 ( here at least) Or 5 with a big one in the center, Race cars have 4, Race cars are light weight ( Referring to Nascar and a slight bit of ALMS ) Trains don't have wheel hubs, They have cute little train wheels.

This is just my idea, No flaming or bashing allowed.

The forum name you cannot, I do believe that is registered to your account, The LFS racer name, Go to options -> Driver And name will be right there.

If you are talking about account name.. that's impossible, Unless victor is really really friendly, Which I'm sure he is.

The maps aren't huge however, You only need to generate it once.

512x512x90-ish

I think anyway, It's 512 blocks left and right from your spawning point, it's about 90 down from your spawning point and about 64-ish up depending on how high you are when you spawn.

And yeah, my first night was confusing o.O I didn't go inside though, I was still building my mega fort.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :I've got a weird problem with LFS/my connection in general

I can browse fine at 500 kb/s up until a random point, then the speed plummets to 10-15kb/s then picks up again to about 220kb/s.

LFS-wise I can ping servers in the server list fine, they show up at 108ms minimum. Turning Steam/MSN/other background stuff off makes the pings worse (128-150ms vs 108ms). Every time I hit refrsh in LFS I get anywhere between 42-150ms for pings each time, seen up to 400ms at times. I currently have Steam DLing FEAR at 200kb/s however, when I went to post this it dropped to 5 kb/s

The more you use, the more you need to have, If you were posting and it dropped to 5 KB that's because you are uploading, And downloading at the same time, Turning steam and the other stuff off means your internet is like " Okay.. we can take a break" And it doesn't alot as much as you don't need to much to ping a server, just a few packets back and forth.

My internet does it to, It's internet, It has it's downspots, Just be glad because i'm suppose to get 6MB both ways and I barely get that.

Quote from FPVaaron :What the NFS franchise really needs to do is bring out Underground 3.

I've had all NFS series from number 1 on original playstaion and in my opinion underground was the most fun, especially with the online ranking system taking out your fully pimped rx7, Skyline, S2000 with it's personalized features.

Yeah, that was win, I used to love beating people in a hummer, There is just something about racing SUV's at 120+ makes me smile.

Need for speed to dominate everything?

According to need for speed, They think they can " Dominate it all" And; "Rival Grand Turismo"

Here is the article below, What do you guys think about it, If NFS dominated the simulators, Would you play them?

EA's vision for the Need for Speed franchise involves alternating the developers behind every November release in a similar way Infinity Ward and Treyarch alternate development of Call of Duty games.

This November's game, Hot Pursuit, was created by Criterion. November 2011's game, unannounced at this stage but confirmed to be in EA's plan, will be created by Need for Speed: Undercover developer EA Black Box in Canada.


EA also plans to make a franchise out of side series Need for Speed: Shift – designed to compete with the likes of Forza and Gran Turismo in the authentic simulation racing genre.


EA's new NFS strategy was revealed by executive Patrick ... interview with Eurogamer.
"We want to reach a mass-market audience, and Hot Pursuit is a more mass-market appealing product than Shift," Soderlund said.
"We want to come back with an action adventure type of product on an annual basis, but from a developer that's been working on it for a couple of years.



"Maybe there are two or three developers going at it every second year. Then, when the market permits and when we feel ready, we'll come up with Shift versions as well."



Soderlund's new vision for the franchise was born out of a frustration at the quality of previous games in the series.


Developers were only given eight to 10 months to create a NFS game. Under the new strategy multiple developers will each get two years development time, allowing EA to stick to its traditional annual release schedule without reducing quality.



While November NFS games will differ on account of the studios behind them, Soderlund promise.


"We want Auto Log to be something that follows with the consumer to the next NFS product," he explained. "We want them to use their log in and their details they had from the previous game into the next. If they're a loyal consumer to us we would reward them for that."


Despite the plan, Soderlund refused to confirm that Guildford developer Criterion is now a NFS exclusive studio. "What happens to Criterion in the future, we'll see," he offered. Soderlund also confirmed that the Burnout series, loved by so many of Criterion's fans, is not dead.


"I hope to see more Burnout games in the future. But it's about prioritising what we want to do. At this point we haven't made a decision to whether Burnout does this or that, but it's not dead for sure, no."



And on Shift, which debuted last year with Slightly Mad's effort, Soderlund outlined ambitious plans for EA to overtake Sony's Gran Turismo series and Microsoft's Forza franchise as gaming's leading simulation racer.



"We think we can compete and ultimately become market leading in the simulation authentic motorsport segment," he said.



"One of the strongest points we have is, apart from the fact we have a very talented developer working with us and we now have an established brand underneath the NFS umbrella in that segment, we also have the advantage of being a multi-platform offering.



"Forza can only be bought on Xbox and Gran Turismo is only available on PlayStation. We're the only one right now that is of a significant weight that can offer something up on all those platforms."

Quote from mirage1 :Also occasionally I get an error message that says Host did not recieve UDP packet... What does this mean?

I've had this in alot of games, If you own your modem / router - Turn off uPnP "Universal Plug n' Play"

I don't know what exactly that does, But toggling it off sometimes helps, And sometimes it's better for it to be on, Like, If the game requires a Open NAT .. Leave it on, But I don't think LFS would need that.
