Quote from Scrabby :

ffs guys, stfu and see what the future brings and be happy with what you get, you bunch of spoiled kids....

words of wisdom !!!!

+1 for this

Quote from Scawen :

I confirm we are making a Scirocco that will be used at the Games Convention.

thx scawen, this is great because i want to buy one next year

can we have a screenshot? it would be really really nice if you can post one

i think there will be one problem: you have to download hundrets of versions from 10 different tracks.
the problem you can see in rFactor and GTR2 just now.

now we need only 5 clicks to go online and race on every server we want.

if scawen releases a track editor (or someone else) we first have to use google for searching the track required by the server....

Stop smoking?

words of wisdom

these rims are rendered with an external program. they are NOT part of LFS

btw: get patch z and buy the game, you will be surprised how much more fun is in s2

Quote from Scawen :

....So it's better not to have the LFS setting too high....

Agree, my thumb broke due too high FFB settings in LFS so not recommended ^^

Quote from tristancliffe :

Aha - Hydrogen fuel cells. Now THAT is a solution (once they can be made, stored and refilled easily, and have a lifetime of more than a month, and a range of more than 500km [and that's for the sporty cars with low fuel ranges. 1000km is more of a minimum] )

the newest gens of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells have a lifetime of several years and they can reach over 1200kms. VW and Opel are making huge tests here in germany. refuelling is no problem: set on the pipeline, choose how many hydrogen you want and your car is refilled in 20 secs

Quote from CasseBent :

Would suck in lfs, 12 hour pitstops

TOTALLY WRONG

whats with battery replacement? it takes about 1 minute to replace the cellpack

and just for knowledge:

an otto motor has an efficiency of about 30% (the rest is unusable heat )
a direct current motor has an efficiency of 85% (servos a bit more)

and one other thing: if you use a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, you can get further because chemical batterys are inefficient energy storages

looks very nice m8, its that what i am searching for!

i will pm you the details via pm, cause our event is not public atm we have to discuss much

i meant with multiple server support: two or three servers at the same time (parallel)

Quote from alexcand :

Hi Scawen! I have a question:
What is the best FOV for a regular 4:3 screen to feel the right sens of speed? For you, the best setting is X, Y, Z at 0 m, and 0°, with 90° FOV?

Thanks

off topic, try 70° (on 4:3 its a good compromiss) and change your seat position to your favour position.... its driver dependant, you will have to find your own settings

Here you go

Quote from aroX123 :

Now it's next week! gimme Z! gimme Z!



Just kidding

agree, but waiting for "when its done" is better

Quote from Scawen :

- Break off wings instead of bending

this is a topic i thought much about... the break off wings etc:
i think all carbon and plastic parts on the cars should be breakable (especially the formula cars should be more breakable; nosecones, suspensions, mirrors...). on the road cars i think there should be the ability to break off the bumper bars and the rest bending like now in patch y. and of course: scattering glass

Quote from The Moose :

Luck? That was a top quality finish in anybody's book

look how the ball spins, it was a wonder that the pill was inside our goal

luckshot wins a turnament...

ballck is a lonely wolf, he dont give passes, no wonder....

Hi programmers,

i need a live tracker for an upcoming endurance event, is a good programmer here who can do this for me?

here is an example how i want it

http://moe.lfs-tracker.de/

maybe the programmer will get some money (we can talk about it), but i cant pay high amounts.

edit: multiple server tracking should be possible

great news scawen, switting hands now

let me ask a question: how many hours do you spend on lfs in a week?

...SCHLAND!!

we will win the cup, more to say? i think no ^^

Quote from tisy0 :

Before anybody starts flaming me or anything i'd just like to tell everybody my opinion

On most "Tuning" Threads every1 says

I like every1 of the NFS series and i'm no Ricer/Chav/Anything like that.. I'm a plain simple cruiser... For instance look at the latest NFS.. Track racing..

I'm just fed up of everybody saying "Go back to NFS"..
Whats wrong with a little tuning here and there?
If people have payed for LFS shouldnt they do what they want? Rice up their game... Its not your problem is it?

I like a little tuning like adding a Slightly bigger spoiler to a car and giving it a new set of rims... maybe some neon for a better effect or some screenshots..
LFS has great physics and.. Simply NFS doesnt.. so people play LFS and expect a little NFS to go with it..

Dont flame me for posting something like this just.. I'm a little fed up :/

Thanks,
Tisy0

hi,

you should know that tuning would go in one way:
ALL RACER HAVE TO USE TUNING PARTS IF THEY WANT TO BE COMPETABLE!
just imagine: you have an xfg, go on ctra... several years we fought with our untuned fwd cars like hell to get good times... now tuning would come into the game... you will have to use max tuning and you will have to acclimate to a fully new car...

now you know why noone wants tuning here? and this is only one argument against tuning.

but there is a possibility to have tuned cars: best example is the xrg. you want an upgrade? better engine? bodykit? USE THE XRT... now you want an upgrade with brutal turbo, sportive look, spoilers? USE THE XRR ^^

you see that in some cases are pre tuned cars

the next thing you should know: the actual average age is 26,28 years (look at LFSW in the LFS racers database)... we are too old for this sh** ^^

--------------1000000000000000

no tuning, lfs as it is or nothing

graphics are not important
it lasts when i can see where the track and where the wall is

i think setupgrid is a lot better than setupfield, because the sets there are better categorized. especcially the SIG is a good thing.

the only thing i miss: i made a setupgrid on your page for my team. i published my sets public before. now they are only available in public SG. would be nice if it would be possilbe to link sets to the own SG which were made by team mates.

i have problems with fraps since i updated to y22.

its only when i use 32 bit resolution and 32 bit skies.
i start fraps and want to capture with 60 fps, but the framerate falls down to 15 fps.
tried with 30 fps: the same: 15 fps
tried with 25 fps: 15 fps

but when i set resolution and skies to 16 bits, all is fine i can capture all framerates.
i didn´t had those problems in y0
