I "agree". No more F9/f10 in that BF1 (F1 car ooh!). How am I going to do anything else than drive now...?

(So far the patch has been very good, enjoying it) <- white color

don't worry there is a cure for this... it's called the UF1

plenty of time to chat on striaghts to fellow racers while still racing around a track! also great fun to drive!

just take the UF1 out for a race or 2 after every half hour of driving the BF1, this should help cure your problem, when you find that you have the adequate amount of chatting to fellow racers just lower the dosage to an hour of BF1 followed by UF1. this should help ease you into not chatting with other races while in the BF1, eventually it will seem normal that you aren't chatting to other racers when in the BF1 but instead every once in a while use the UF1 to make youself feel better......

.....what the hell am i on about??

LOL Tristan I think we should all race with nK in doom mode, little need to worry about going to fast then

i see this pain... espacially in our sauber(it's TOOOO fast). It's kinda hard to do smilies and use a joystick...espacially since i'm a lefty.When i try to get a smile i end up getting the pit boaard or the limiter turns on.

This is funny. I saw your name and went,"did someone steal his user?"

time to So long/bf1.))

The problem is the UF1 feels so slow after you've just driven the BF1

oh and...u don't have to drive the new BF1, continue to fight for ur position in the leaguesand be happy

Great post, Tristan At Blackwood in the other cars I usually had time to light a cigarette on the back straight. Now I find in the BF1 I need to hurry just to take a drag of one. Pure heaven, I tell ya, I'm loving this patch!

Scawen, buddy, I think you've pretty well nailed the combined slip model in your tires now. Congrats! Makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it, guys?

heh looks like blackwood and bf1 are a great combination to make you quit smoking if played long enough!

Lol Tristan, thought you were being serious there for second when i read the thread title and then the creator but soon all was clear. I not had the time to test the patch properly yet, that will come in 3 weeks but i have had a little go here and there and must say it is a big improvement..... i am very satisfied

traction control makes power sliding easy as anything... well ether that or the new physics

o rly

Ya rly, instead of losing the back end on most of the RWDs, I actually managed to control the drift somewhat with the throttle. I'm the ultimate cannot-drift racer, but if I can hold a small slide, and do it again, I could see how it's become easier.

Tristan, you're unbelievable

Maybe you've just become a better driver, and now the physics are a bit more in touch with reality you can actually drive the car at the limits of its capabilities. Before the patch you had to be really careful when cornering the RWD's especially exiting from an apex and applying the throttle, the car would just snap without warning. Now when your pushing too far the car lets you know and you can adjust accordingly.

If you watch this caterham video you'll see just how far you can push these things, imagine trying to do this in the LFS car park with the old physics

[edit] TBH I don't think many of us could do that even with the new physics either :P

My face hurts from smiling so much.

Tristan I know what you are saying, but let the track do the talking for you LOL

Sorry, but I have to say this:


I'm lovin' it. Had some proper races in the BF1 earlier, and it's awesomely awesome, in Awesomeville on national Awesome day when you've been chatting to someone called awesome about awesome things. I love it.
It's NOT perfect, it's NOT finished and there are a few things that still annoy me. But one small step for Scawen, one giant leap for LiveforSpeed (might have printed on a T-Shirt :S)

Hopefully it'll calm down soon, and we can all go about getting a good mix of racing (except the ovalers) on lots of servers in lots of cars. I'm trying as many as I can, but there's so many combos. Still haven't taken the BF1 around Eau Rouge the right way, nor had a fling with GTR's at KY National etc etc. And for nearly 8 hours I had a world record (damn Renku).

ah.. ya got me tristan (not really lol)

but no seriously, wouldnt a live speak system through servers be great?
