Lo everyone

I've played S2 Demo for months on end and I am loving it. Hopefully by Christmas I'll be able to get S2 because atm I'm broke.

hey

Been playing for about a month online, so i guess i'm not really new but just introducing myself anyway

Playing with a momo FF wheel with a sticky brake pedal..lol
Racing as WR6X usually on Redline Racing server

hi

Hi,
I've been trying this sim for a few weeks now.
Printed out the manual and I'm just starting to realise how good a game this is.

Cheers :-)

Hi!

Howdy, I'm teh newbish. I just picked up S2, and have been playing the demo for a bit. I still gotta finish up the training modes, I'm not too good yet. But I'd like to get involved in some leagues especially the F1 league with a skinned Honda F1.

Hello, im new, bought my license about 16 hours ago or so, maybe even more
already love the game, yihaa

Hi all, I'm still practicising on the Demo cars while waiting for the wheel to arrive. Progress is slow regarding laptimes at the moment though I did just get into 1:38's bytaking heed of the advice and driving more smoothly - slow in, fast out !!

Catch you on-line soon once wheel arrives - should be tomorrow

The good thing is that you'll be able to drive the other tracks. Although that seems to make it more difficult, it often isn't. Taking a break from a certain track can give you better times when you return to it bringing in your experience from the other tracks

Makes sense Joen, time to spend some money

Licensed now - whoa! the BMW Sauber is a beast

hehe, that was fast
may I compliment you on a wise choice sir?
I hope you get your wheel soon (I am waiting for a new wheel too atm, getting a replacement for my broken MOMO)
See you on the tracks

also taking experience from other diciplines...iv been learning to drift over the past few days, and when i went back to racing again, i found myself much faster overall

Happy now, DFP has arrived and (after trawling the forum for setup tips) it's no longer kicking me off the road!

An hours play and hit the 1:36's a couple of times in the GTi on BL. Time now to do some serious training.

HI all

Hey guys. Got a couple of questions: is live for speed a freeware? and i've downloaded the demo version and i wanted to know the size of the full version.

No. The demo is free to use for as long as you wish, but if you want all the features of LFS you will need to buy yourself a license (highly recommended ofcourse).

The size of the full version is the same. There is no seperate full version to download. If you buy LFS you will be able to unlock the features you cannot use now in the demo.

No, Patch U is the latest "stable" patch, and if you wanna try out some test-patches, it's U19... The content of the demo is the same though...

Heya people! About... Oh, two, maybe three weeks ago I downloaded LFS because of a discussion a friend and I were having. She mentioned that its the most realistic simulator ever, and I figured if nothing else, I could have some fun playing the demo...

So I just lost 2-3 weeks of my life

Its an amazing experience to say nothing else, and when I get paid (shortly), the first thing I plan to do is purchase S2

So here I am to say Greetings to all the racers I'll soon to see, hopefully long enough to read their bumper stickers before they pull away!

Just a few curious questions... Do more experienced racers ever consider taking on Rookies for a bit of education? I always figured someone who's used to seeing another's style, so know how they drive, would be a better instructor than getting random advice from posting a few replays and asking "How do I improve my laptimes?". But then again, what do I know? Also, I'm pretty sure experiences vary, but as a general note, how helpful are teams for rookie drivers? Or teams in general? Is it common practice to switch teams a lot as you get better (from rookie teams to bigger name teams), or just drive solo until a team you like extends a hand of membership and racing education?

Oh, and Hi again!

Hi, welcome. Good to see you're enjoying LFS
I would say that a big part of the drivers are very willing to help out, by giving advice or letting you try their setups. Just ask someone for help when you're in a server.

Posting replays on the forum is a pretty effective way though. Sure, people have different driving styles. But some things are either good or bad regardless of one's driving style. Besides that, a lot of people visit the forums, chances are that someone with a comparable driving style will be watching it

About the teams. I personally think the best thing to do is drive solo for a while first so you can get some experience and learn the tracks. Because most teams will only accept drivers who have a certain amount of experience/speed. Some will want to see you join their server for a tryout to see how you drive.
But there are some young teams around who will take in anyone (no disrespect)

Sure, people switch teams when they get better. It's not like you have a contract or something Depends on what you call often though. I can imagine teams not being amused when you switch team every week for instance

Hey.

Im Loz.

Ive only just got LFS-S2, great game! Had a little trouble gettin my pedals to work but thats all sorted now.
