Thanks Jakg, Thanks Axus

The game password and user name etc did that come in an email? I can't remember either of them which sucks!

I'm stuck.

I've downloaded and installed the U32 patch, but now I don't when I open LFS I'm a demo racer when I should be S2 (fully paid etc).

Have I done something wrong? How do I fix this?

Thanks

Thanks, that clears thinks up

I understand the relationship just that at high rpms it's power not torque, or am I mistaken.

To explain a bit better what I mean: try drifting a RWD diesel (turbo or not). It has lots of torque (compared to bhp) but lacks power so it's difficult to maintain a drift when the rpms increase. Now try a RWD petrol (turbo or not). This has more power than the diesel and so can maintain a drift better when the rpms increase.

So if the guy's running out of grunt top end it's the power that's limiting, not the torque?

Thanks

Don't maen to be argumentative but if he's running out of grunt at the top end shouldn't it be more power and not torque he needs (all else being equal). I would have thought the torque would have peaked 2-3,000rpm ago and it now the power that's keeping the drift going...or not as the case may be?

Very nice

Great music choice; fits the video vide well.

The end section where the cars draw up slow was classy and original: good work.

P.S who's plays the tune?

I agree with you

What I want from a game is GT but more real, LFS could fill this gap, please many people and may mega money in the process. GT is a racing simulator and if you don't want to buy cars play in 'arcade' mode and not career. +1 from me.

Nobody is really talking about rallying.

The idea is to create a track that isn't as flat and smooth as a pancake. A bit of variation wouldn't go amiss; so +1.

Glad to see some people share my thoughts.... I've off to drive on my own

Chop off their fingers!!

Only joking

But if you made it non-competetive, or at least a non-competitive option, their would be no need to restart

I guess these types of road would require more comuting power but take a Fern Bay track, narrow it a little, add bumps and elevate it so the start/finish is at the bottom of the hill and the rest works it's way up to a summit then back down again.

This shouldn't need much more cpu power, should it?

That's what I'm thinking

Doesn't have to be point-to-point you could link it up so it's....well a circuit but a tighter, norrower, bumpier more technical one.

If there was one thing I'd really like to see in LFS it would be country roads i.e not a race track. Something like a B-road in UK, mountain roads of Japan that sort of stuff.

Race circuits are great but, for me, they can be very competitive and sometimes not fun. If country roads were included in LFS you could drive along at your own pace and because there's no competition it could be more fun and enjoyable. You could also have a 'closed street' version for tarmac rallying.

I would much prefer driving this than racetracks.

It needn't be single track, it would be better if it wasn't. Perhaps two lanes maybe 3-4 cars widths wide, with small jumps, off camber turns, blind crests etc etc.

Does anyone else agree?

Very impressed!

First time I've watched the series. Excellent coverage, exciting racing and great commentary ensures it won't be my last. Top class

I agree with most of what's been said above and would really, really like to see some older cars: as someone suggested Mk1 and 2 escorts, BMW 2002, MG's etc.

I would also like to show my support for more cars that can compete closely with one another (e.g. RB4, FXO, XRT and XFG and XRG). This would give players more choice, promote close racing and keep racing interesting and enjoyable.

Quote from jollyeskimo :

It's in the device settings of the Logitech Profiler, where you'll find different force feedback, pedal, and wheel turn settings.

D'oh :smash3d:

Thanks

Received mine this afternoon

One problem... how do i get the wheel to turn the full 900 degrees in lfs; at the moment it only turns 180 degree. I've set the 'WHEEL TURN' under option to 900 and also 900 on the 'WHEEL TURN' in the garage.

I tried setting it to 720 etc but still only 180 degrees. I remember seeing a thread about this elsewhere but can't find it now

Can anyone help?

Pure class!!

Who's the music by?

EDIT EDIT: IGNORE ME IT'S FIXED, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS


Tried another twice.

I can get as far as downloading the patch to a folder, right clicking on unzipped patch then 'extracting here' (as it says in the Readme).

Then both times I get an error:

Could not open file: data\skins\HEL_DEFAULT.jpg

Am I doing something wrong.

Sorry not sure what a 'mirror' is.

EDIT: a seperate readme file then pops up, it reads:

LFS : 0.5U25
timer resolution 1 ms
read config
get command line
Could not open file : data\skins\HEL_DEFAULT.jpg

message on extraction says 'File header is damaged, abort' then it gives me the option of yes or no.

Guess I'll have to download the patch again?

Good, but I think I did it the long way by unzipping a new LFS demo then going through the folders and copying those that were different until I got the unlocked S2 version :smash3d:


One last question, I'm about to download the patch to my new 'copy'. Do I save it into 'docs', 'data' or other folder.

I appreciate your help

Thanks

I've been playing online fine without problems, so far.

If I decide to install this patch how do I create a seperate installation. Do I simply copy every folder and save them somewhere else?

I new so please forgive me if this is dumb.

I've recently installed (about 2 weeks ago) S2 onto my computer after signing-up etc.

Do I still need to download this patch, if so, how?

Any help would be great
