wait until then to see if someone creates a boy racer mod.

If?

How about we add the option to add in some bodykit too, and a few neon lights?

Go back the NFS to be honest, this is a racing game, not a rice up your car game. Even NFS used to be good until people like you got stupid ideas like this. This is one of few games that havent been wrecked by being able to make cars look/sound ridiculous, and i would like it to stay that way.

If you said how about some beasty V8s i wouldnt argue as im fed up of hearing turbos whining all the time in races.

Also, i like the cars in LFS, and im not really bothered about paying extra so that the devs can incorporate something like an Evo.

Oh and ME, I dont like loud ass exhausts and a mother of a dump valve. Infact, they annoy me. Turbos are for the lose, their whistle is just annoying.

actually after giving it some thought ... id quite like the idea of being able to put bodykits neons heck even subwoofers on your car in lfs
the weight and drag penalty would leave all of the wreckers and riceboys far behind the rest of the field right from the start and the serious lfs players can race without anybody getting in their way

I have the original NFS right here. I wish I could get it to run on XP. I remember liking it.

did you try vdmsound and compatibility mode ?

Yupp, should work with VDMSound. Another (allthough possibly slower and less easy to use) solution would be dosbox.

But then, after having played the first part again, I noticed that both the graphics and the physics are lacking quite a lot. I still enjoy the car showrooms though, as the german version has great voice-over by Egon Hoegen, who was also the voice of a german car-related TV-Mag.

BTT: I wouldn't mind a realistic "ricer" game, but I don't want LsF to be it.
Just imagine NFSU with realistic damage, where you actually have to pay for every damage you deliver. And occasional police-controls which fine you, and force you to undo any illegal modifications. Now THAT would be fun

Why oh why, do you always call it LsF?

I thought they put ice on the rear tires of the LX6...

So I got VDMS. Very cool app. We had a flood here and had to replace all floors in the house, so alot of what used to be in this room here, is in boxes in the spare room. No NFS. I did find DOOM and World Circuit on floppy. Only to find that my floppy drive no longer works.

I did find World Circuit on my drive, but had forgotten about the manual check protection. Now I need to dig through boxes. In the mean time I also found SODA on my drive. Very interesting. I can hardly wait to get NFS, WC, and DOOM up and running.

while youre still searching through boxes you should check out http://www.the-underdogs.org/ youll find lots of old games for free there including quite a few timless classics

OMG... Apart from the realistic damage (and physics) you just described NFS:MW...

now that u said that i just realised that, i changed my opinion about it, let them put the 35 inch wheels, with the supercool tyre 225/25 mm (dunno if that is used as internetional size) and the 15" subs, plus the A/C of course, and what ever more they want.That would only actually slow them dow....
Now seriously people. without the intetion of flaming any1, but its a racing game, not a underground type with serious physics, do real race cars have all of that? LFS is suppost to be taken serious, if you would like to have NFSU/MW style with real physics go ask EA to do so, BUT PLIZ DONT ASK A SERIOUS RACING GAME TO DO THAT

Quote from tristancliffe :

I was really hoping this was gonna be a sensible suggestion about ice racing (how much fun!?), but it turned out to be a turd of a thread (not made any better by this :S)



And this is worth how many seconds per lap? I HATE hearing other people's music when I'm out. It annoys me cos I don't like YOUR music, and it means I can't hear traffic noise, sirens, my own music and other important road sounds. People with loud music JUST look like knobs.


Yes LFS is 100x better because IT DOESN'T HAVE CRAP SUGGESTIONS LIKE THESE IN IT. Please go back to NFS where you will be happy in your eternal ignorance.


Have you EVER visited a forum before. Can you read the word "search". Did you look through some of the active topics from today? No I thought not. Lets look at your car choice, and see if we can find ANYTHING that would add to LFS... My hopes aren't high...

Evos - fun for about 5 minutes, but look sooooooo dull - boxy 4 door, meh!
Supras - quite a nice looking car, but made into homosexual icons by nearly every owner with silly body'kits' and paint jobs. Not particularly quick either in road form
Rx7's - don't like the looks personally, althugh not nasty. Has an engine that is well known over the years to be not worth bothering with. Only Mazda do. Woopie doo!
50's Hotrod - cars messed about with by people who don't know about cars. The Max Power generation of the 50's. Avoid.
Nissan Skyline - A PC with wheels, and the fun factor of smearing your genitals with itching powder. No thanks. Just a shame Nissan can't make 4 tonnes of car handle well, then it wouldn't need a supercomputer on board to stop the contents dying.

Good Greif, I thought I slept well...

Edit: Other is not spelt (or pronounced) over, uvver, uva or 'anyover' thick headed attempt to be leet.

Calm down lad, you'll give yourself a Connery

"Meh, I can't talk. I drive "The Worlds Most Common Roadster"!"

MX5 eh !?!

Actually, my hair's getting abit long, if your passing, dont suppose you could call in and give me a trim ?



(sorry, didnt know how to do a double quote)

You drive an MX5 but your nto a hairdresser

I know im a bit illepall

Connery? As in Sean 'Bond, James Bond' Connery?

Can't give you a hair cut for a while yet, I'm fully booked. Besides, I've heard it all before. I even drove home from work once with a bit of brown masking paper on the passenger side written by one the 'witty' guys proclaiming "Tristy's Haircuts. You provide the hair, we'll provide the camp car".

It was quite funny, but of course I never let him know that

Like I don't have enough ways to waste what time I don't have. (OK, got the edit feature to work, but it removes smileys. There is one just to the left of this parenthetical statement.)

Seriously, great link. Thanks.

:d:d:d:d

huh....

LOL, your a funny chap Tristan, probably one of the wittiest one's on here, but, do you really not get the Connery line ??

Only Fools and Horse's ??

Del's word for a coronary !

aahhhaaa

I must confess, I never really got into Only Fools and Horses... but that scene when Delboy leans on the bar, only to find it's open, still cracks me up...

LOL, yeah, and Trigger turns round and Del's not there, i'm laughing just thinking about it !

And i must also confess, MX5's are cracking little cars.

In fact i nearly bought one a few yrs ago, but, the wife decided we'd buy a Volvo instead yippee, what fun !

Quote from Levi1 :

boyracerd, ingame voice communication would be nice, but only if you could mute other people. I'd like an Evo for rallying, but the developers would have to pay for a license to get the car in, so it's probably not gonna happen any time soon.

and tristancliffe, you are seriously pathetic (unless you somehow know if boyracerd is trolling on purpose)

Somehow this seems to resume this whole thread. Nice post Levi1

Quote from Lible :

Im not going to make a new thread, but these are my suggestions:

Possibility for free City Cruise
Possibility to go into shops
Possibility to open your window when crashed and scream YOU IDIOTS!
Possibility to fly!
Moving humans watching the race and if you are lucky, you can see a idiot running at the track.

LFS Sucks without this.

Couln't agree more... exept the possibility to fly, I don't really care. Free city cruise would be nice, but it would take a mmoooore larger map, which would take agggeeesss to load and considering that lfs requires cpu, it would take 555500000044444 mhz to run it

Damn, I have that on my dads ISP space (used it for a project when I was in college), but I can't remember the link >.<

How ironic is it that his handle is "boy racer"...

Yeah! I want ICE as well... But ONLY when the rest of LFS is completely and utterly completed... In the meantime, I'll just work on installing the real deal in my real car.
