These layouts are awesome.

This is a much better and more comprehensive guide than the posts above. They have four different types of builds on there ranging in price and performance; you'll be more interested in the sweeter spot and the double stuff workstation. Definitely worth a read.

One of the most pathetic cruisers i've ever seen lol.

Why have you put boobs where your lights should be?

Grow some balls.


Seriously, it's not that hard to find some good races even if you are slow. Just join a server running a car or track that you prefer, and run a few warm up laps to get a feel for the track. You really only have to run about 10 to 15 laps before you're ready to start a pick up race. Once in race, stay well within your limits to prevent yourself from crashing.

Don't feel intimidated if you are slow, just be a cautious driver/hold a steady line and watch everyone around you.

One thing that I don't thing anyone mentioned...

That improvement we did some time ago to the LFS system, where there is now only one list of hosts, and less licensed racers can join any host as long as the content of that host falls within their license.

In the past, hosts were strictly set for one license or another, so when we changed from S1 to S2, nearly all hosts switched to S2 and suddenly there was hardly any S1 action to be found. That was unexpected and turned out a bit hard on S1 racers. With the new system, even at this time of day, there are 201 hosts that you can join as an S1 licensed racer and 37 of those are occupied. So an S1 license is quite good these days.

And finally to the point I am making, when Rockingham is released, S2 licensed racers will only be excluded from the Rockingham hosts or those which allow the new car. This will not have a very damaging effect on the S2 action.

As a result, there is not much pressure to upgrade your license. We are just saying, here is something we have done and this is the price if you'd like to use it. It doesn't really harm anyone, it's just something you can pay for if you think it's worth it. Of course, if you don't think it's worth it, and want to wait and see if there is more content added in the future, that is fine.

Exactly. The only gripe I have with the current system is the lack of being able to filter out demo servers.

A real touge for drifting. This will be awesome.

This is all great news, no matter how long it will take

Looks like we've got another AtomAnt on our forum...

inb4 devs have better things to do...


Nice find. I'm surprised i've never seen that before.

Same design (crap) as my Razer Tarantula, and my friends Logitech *something*.. I bet its the same things inside too...

Did you look at the price?

Very interested...please upload the files for us.

I get some weird JOOS error =/

Am I the only one?


*edit*

I was implying that I could drift just fine with them.

We can drift just fine with how it is now; that has already been established more than once during this thread. Now read this:

Quote from kamkorPL :

I'm going to write it for the 100th time just for you.

We don't drive stock xrts.

We have xrts with extreme suspension mods. Springs, dampers, rollbars, toe, camber, you name it. We can put extreme brakes in etc.

We can even adjust gear ratios by 0.001.

So there's no reason to have back the settings for - steering lock, tracking and caster.

And ofcourse it would be a real pity if all setup options dissapeared from xrt, fz5, fxo etc. Because then street cars would become utterly boring to drive and would handle like shit.

It's just - we can do extreme race setup for xrt. Why not let us do drift setup too. Why not also implement feature that forces people to race on stock setup.

And increasing steering lock to 45 degreese isn't extreme at all. It's an easy and most of all cheaper mod than buying adjustable suspension or getting super strong brakes. Having a steering lock like on that vid would be extreme. But so are other xrt setup options..

Hey,

great app here. I've been using it solely for the speedtraps. It is especially useful for drift servers because in drifting corner entry speed is pretty important. Thing is, I am having a little bit of trouble. Not because of the program, but because of my lack of knowledge.

Anyway, what I need help with is how to setup the 'setup.dat' file so that the only thing activated is the speed trap. If someone could upload a setup.dat file configured like this that would be even easier. Also, is it possible so that the speedtrap message is displayed every time someone passes through it, not just when a new fastest speed is recorded? Can we also set more than one speedtrap on a single track?

Second problem is displaying the speed trap message to certain users. I just tested it with a friend of mine, and the speed trap message was only being displayed to me. I thought maybe if he joined as admin it would show but it still did not. Is there something I have to change in the setup.dat file to make the speedtrap message show just to the server admins?

Thanks

Jetta @ VIR is tons of fun. I got really lucky in qualifying and set a time of 2:13.7xx. It's hard to maintain that pace though; my tyres are burning after two thirds of the race.

:nol2:

Aww, c'mon. It doesn't hurt that bad to lose the game.
