How about a clay model?

PLAYLIFE please read my avatar, then go screw yourself. These situations are always caused by people like you. Just remember, we were all noobs at one point, and sometimes noobs need encouragement.

And you're better for replying like this how??

Let's just have a car in LFS that has sliding doors.

Because it matters!

This is how I see it, you may not, if that's the case, don't bother posting. As if I see a word in your sentance flaming me, I'll simply ignore your comment. Thanks.

Note: If you don't have anything good to say, don't post.

That's the way I see it.

That's not the way I see it.

Thanks.

By the way, if you've already seen the post which would allow you to determine whether it flames you or not, then it is too late to ignore it, right?


Logic!

Congratulations, Bawbizzledizzle!

From what I can gather, gameport devices aren't supported well (at all) in vista. So be wary if shopping second hands.

Get a USB wheel.

FWIW, there are 2 things that eventually got me to get the S2 license: 1)the demo (and its unlimited play allowing me to decide that it's worth it) and 2) This forum (since it alerted me to STCC, which was my reason for getting S2)

So in my mind the demo is perfect as it is. (BTW, I had the demo off and on for over a year but only started seriously playing it 2 months ago)

From the USA-NW forum members I see here, there are actually more members around the Portland metro area than King County.

Improve your health and make money at the same time! Use this secret method available for only $9.99 (plus $55.00 s&h)!

When you go up to that vending machine to get yourself that soda and snack, say "hmm maybe later" and stick that change in a jar labeled S2! Repeat 50 times and voila, you've got it! Please don't pass this proprietary information to anyone who doesn't have the secret license! Oh, and no ice cream! (mmm I'm having some right now)

100% guaranteed! Or your money back.

Maybe.

Well I will admit that I thought Victor was talking about BATracer for a small moment...

Quote from Niels Heusinkveld :

In LFS you can 'cheat' somewhat by deliberatly weaking the brakes so they mostly don't lock up under 100% braking.. Thats not the way I want to do it though.

Ah yes, the backbone of hotlap setups! Still, I find it extremely tough to modulate braking with a brake pedal that has very little resistance. Maybe I should try that squeeze-ball under the pedal trick.

Fair enough, fair enough!

Try practicing it in your real life car (preferably on an empty road) - you get much more feedback that way.

Wow someone finally did it

Very nice render.

*waits for the inevitable storm of "sleepy-eyes" requests*

Oh right, I did. Good point

So, do you chaps like my white tractor?

I disappeared!

Congratulations to Danny! It would be a nice predicament to be in, that's for sure! I hope his parents don't take advantage of him
I'd say just row it through the gears once then put it in the garage. When he's old enough to drive, BAM there it is! Of course by then gas will also have gone up a couple more bucks/gallon/litre/cc.

+1 for replay!

Give a "Dev Wannabe" forum title if you pony up for an SDK? I bet a few will be sold just for that, as sad as it sounds.

"I call it like it is"

Great, good for you. Don't complain though, when this policy comes back to bite you as it has in this case. Sometimes it is you who needs to man up and take it. You certainly cannot expect everyone else to do the same. Otherwise it would degenerate into the typical "I know you are but what am I?" cycle.

The games have to be written specifically to take advantage of DX10. Earlier games that have just been ported won't benefit.

Well, it has the "VTAKKK!!!!!111oneonoe!!!11eleven!" symbol on it.

I could have sworn it was actually VTECH

Quote from Jakg :

if you wanna learn, the XRG is a GREAT car to learn balance, just slowly give it more throttle until it starts to slide and slowly start to countersteer to hold it back in line - i often go round corners with my wheel dead straight

Hmm now that sounds really nice, it really does!

I've got a problem where I try to use as little steering lock as possible, yet I can get nowhere the degree of yaw that the fast people get with the same lock at the same speed. But when I introduce more lock so I can avoid running out onto the dirt, the tires immediately begin to scrub badly, and it takes some time of full throttle before speed begins to climb again. I use the default RACE_S or hard track setups. Would a better setup really improve handling that much?

And that excuses it?

Sorry, no.

Just another indication of the demise of good communication skills.

Never did imply that.
