Don't always say you're stupid - everything you ask is what we had to learn, too. You aren't stupid, if you were, you would wreck and ruin races because pitting "doesn't work in this f*** game"
i was actually wondering the same question about pitstops, only I hadnt done any long races so it didnt matter too much...until i started getting bent wheels in short races
Having joined August first (a month and a half ago!) I belive I fall into that catagory!
Speaking for myself, personally, I didn't come from another racing game. I was, infact, talking to a Finnish friend of mine on a diffrent game entirely, and she mentioned it as being a highly realistic simulator. I liked cars already . I downloaded it, was interested, and forgot about it for a week. A week later, I found my old wheel, plugged it in, feel in love...
:lovies3d:
As for everyone else, I have no idea how they found LFS, because I'm not then. But a poll sounds like a good idea...
I can only speak for myself; my online sim-racing experience started with GPL (since GPL came out I've raced it online) and Nascar2003..I guess I'm not the 'average' LFS-Beginner..but there are always questions to be answered when starting with a new sim..
If you fancy building me a room i could possibly fit my pc and a wheel in at the same time be my guest! oh and buying it for me :P
and i can stil beat u in rwd cars most of the time.
You beat me on SO Sprint 1 reversed, which is 55 seconds long. I beat you on Westhill reversed, which is 1 minute and 55 seconds long. Enough said about the trickier track.
lol but u only beat me on pb's. i actually beat u in quali at westhill! and anyway, that was my 1st 2 laps round there, you were on your 42nd! only beat me by about 0.8 sec on pb's i think.
mine, too. One time there was the S1 demo on the CD of an issue of GameStar (a german gaming magazine) - my first corner: NFS-style, 120km/h, trying to drift... welcome to the ... grml... can't find the word in english, the german version is "Kiesbett"
