Yeah, I'll join that club.

With some cars I can look back and in some, I can have the digital speedo. Seems to be random but I didn't take not of what cars they were. Imagine what "Beta" will be like, probably ten times as good as it is now, and even then it's not completely finished (I think that's how it works anyway). I'm hoping we can have glass shattering and bits of the car flying off one day. Maybe if you get whacked at high speed by another car, you could add the ear ringing sound and a pixelated screen, and after a couple of seconds (depending on how severe the crash was) the view fades back into normal.

Where's the option for "indifferent"?

I think maybe a few people just don't yet realize that they have to stop the gas for a split second while you shift up. I didn't realize until some dude from another thread mentioned it. I just figured it was the same as before. Real easy to get the hang of. The cars feel nicer to drive for some reason as well.

Quote from niall09 :

Its your clutch melting Lift off the throttle while up shfting to prevent this from happening

I see. Well that's definitely the problem. Didn't think it was that realistic.

Quote from ajp71 :

Have you ever seen a 30 second engine or clutch change?

True man. I guess I didn't expect it to be as realistic as it as. I think the only problem though is having to start your laps all over again, like, if you were 4th, on your second last lap, and your engine buggers up, that's it, game over man. You gotta start from lap 1. But then that creates the motivation to be really careful, so it's good in that way.

I'm only disappointed in one thing really (more confused about it actually), that is, when your engine is buggered, do you have to press SHIFT + P? Is that your only option? When you pit, it only refuels and evens out the body, but I try to continue racing and the revs are real high straight away and changing gear makes no difference. Is there a button I push or something? It would really suck if SHIFT + P is your only option, but I'd adjust.

I was chatting with an internet acquaintance when he abrubtly said he was going to play "lfs", when I asked what that was, he directed me to the demo. So I played the demo until I got bored and got S2.

I can't even remember, but one of the W's.

Anyway... there are that many patches? Why can't I bleeping find one. Any, come to think of it.
Needz moar server.

Quote from mrodgers :

Yes, my thoughts also. But problem is, it is not yet realistic because the clutch, transmission, and engine damage are not properly simulated yet. Give LFS some time and we will have accurate simulation of these areas and the flatshifting by everyone will cease to exist.

That would be cool. Tbh I'm happy with the way it is now, but if LFS can make it more... better... in whatever ways, it's just a bonus imo.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Phoretwenty; I can appreciate that you may not be coming in here with the intent to argue, but your posts have a ver negative feel to them. You are not expressing yourself rationally. That can cause a lot of problems, as has been shown in this thread.

You were using a lot of foul language on the forum; while I'm not a prude (I swear quite a bit in person, unfortunately) it not only makes you look like a person with the intelligence of a lamp post, it is also detrimental to your cause. The "It's just the way I am" attitude doesn't fly. This forum has rules. If you can't abide by those rules then you will not have the opportunity to express yourself here.

Like I said, I can appreciate that is not your intention, but the way you express yourself does not back that up.

I'm not here to make myself look good
I'm not here to prove how intelligent I am.

I don't understand wtf you mean, I'm talking normally, discussing stuff. Wtf?
I mean I agree with what you're saying, but, I can't help the way other people view my posts... I'm not responsible for peoples reaction towards me. Bahahahah.... Are we not adults here?

With my old PC I'd run it in low resolution or else it would lag. But I bought this "peice of shit" for £350 brand new, and it turns out its got mad graphicz that apparantly are standard these days, I need to get up from out underneath my rock. So I run everything on high, high, high. Very high. Highest in fact. Bring on the hardcore graphicz...

Quote from Veracious :

I smell a troll

What the hell are you implying with that word?
'Choo tawkin' 'bout Willis.
He's allowed to call names but I'm not...?

This is madness!




















THIS IS SPARTA!

Fank yew very much kind sir.

I went to Team Inferno Setup Field and downloaded that setup package thing.
So, does anyone have any idea where I'm supposed to put them? Where abouts in the "data" folder? Thanks in advance.

Quote from JRFRACE :

Its funny going on about getting taken out etc etc, i think if you just stay calm you can avoid 90% of the crashes on LFS. They pretty much only happen between two people who just won't give any space as though its life or death and then they go mad about the inevitable accident and start trying to ban and get revenge. I've seen so many people that race like that and some of them never seem to learn.

Just stay calm and learn when not to stick your nose in, most the time the other person goes off in their excitement anyway.

See, I think I'm one of the most calm people on the track. And I hardly ever use the chat, when I do, it's definitely not to argue. I don't even protest my farking ban, even though it wasn't my fault, everyone just takes the side of the person trying to ban, because they just assume "Hey, I'm sure he's got better things to do than go around banning as many "noobs" as possible, he must be trying to ban for a legit reason", when really, the person trying to ban is a lame tard. It's funny yet FRUSTRATING, wanna reach through my screen AND... you get the picture. But frustration is justified there. Tards like that need a schlap.

Quote from Racer Y :

Also, the Czech dude? You're gonna insult this guy's intelligence when
he was able to read your post (in English) and offer a decent comment (if not somewhat hard) to you in your native language? If he can do that, do you really think what he said was nonsense?

I wanna say sorry to that guy if it came across like I was trying to insult you. It's just you was going on about something irelavant to what I was saying in my post. You got the idea that im all for revenge. False.
Hell, maybe it was my English that got him confused?
As for the rest of your post, I generally agree.

Quote from mrodgers :

Aside from cheating or breaking rules, would you not use anything and everything available or capable to give you the upper hand in a competition?

Yeah, but in reality you slow down abit when you do the clutch. That's kinda part of the reason I like this racing game, it's quite realistic (most realistic one I've found anyway), apart from when you crash and sometimes you take off into the sky, spinning and stuff. That's just hilarious (the good kind).

Quote from Flycantbird :

So people may spend all day trying to find a clean server in which to
race ( the whole point of the game). You may have all the good intentions, and you do have the right to 'learn', but if you haven't yet learned, for example, to use your mirrors, to stay out of the way when you are 10 seconds off the pace, or even learned the line well enough to know how to stay out of it when cars approach and you see 'blue flag'
then you should not be surprised that people get aggravated.

I've learned most of the basics, but you just gotta perfect it or something? That takes time. If you think im gonna stay on my own server and race bots out of fear of "ruining someones game", then you thought wrong!

My game is "ruined" all the time, people knock into me, cut me off, sit on the track. Have I used the kick/ban button ONCE? NO! It's not hard to just let it go. Sheesh. Coh. Blimey. Just realise that it was probably 99% not intentional, and if it was, you can obviously tell if it was intentional, MOST of the time, if you know people, haha.

"a lot of other people remain oblivious to common courtesy after months of racing."

Wtf is with that? I kindly asked someone for a setup for BMW suabre(sp) the other day, so I dont go to slow and cause anyone to CRASH into me.
But no. He literally just said: No.
Complete wanker. Most of the people I encounter are like that. Why? Not enough colours in my effing name?

And I can't help the manner in which I'm trying to get my point across. That's just the way I am... Get used to it, or ban me from the forum.
Just don't ban me from the game!!

Quote from NitroNitrous :

I have noticed that there are a lot of people that don´t cut gas when shift up. It is an advantage in the game, but is very unrealistic I think. Is it a driving technic that real racers uses? Or are these people making good use of this because the clutch doesn´t break in the game?
:auto:

Probably someone trying to use anything to give them the upper hand, as usual.

Quote from XCNuse :

Oh, believe me when I tell you that you will make many more friends than ever.

...looks back at posts from RSC with childish/emotional remarks...

It makes a [big] difference.

I ride solo

:margesimp
Nah but yeah, cool.

Cool man ^
This thread should have been short and sweet. Didn't go as planned, people picking apart my posts, etc... good times.
But yeah, dood above me, you're right. I'm gonna drive/talk like an old women on the internet from now on lol.
And yeah that is what my name is supposed to be. I woulda put 420 but thats just lame, comon.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

Looking at your languge used here I would be not suprised that you got banned several times.

Also you said on previous page that you have been banned once and now you claiming several times....hmm.Somebody needs to clear out his mind.

You know.The admins on the servers has rights to do what they want.If they decided to ban you they have either reason to do it or they might be dumbass but does it really matter - NO.You got banned and end of story.Also using unpolite languge to admins trying to argue something doesnt help either.Dont rememberr when it could.

Firstly, that was one "phuck".
Second, I said that it's the players who constantly use the ban to get their own way, not admins. Excpet kiddie admins, and you can spot them a mile off.
Third, are you reading my godamned posts? Or just skimming over them? (Oh, wait, "Czech republic"... English probably isn't your first language?)

And realise, please, that it's the intention behind the word that matters.
Does everyone know this but pretend it's not true or something? Do people really get offended by that word, and if so, WHY? Not to mention you've got *'s all over the word. You'd think this would be enough but NOOO, we get offended by "*"'s now. The "****" is going on?

Anyway I'm not trying to start trouble, debate, get lectured, or banned. Just so you know.

Quote from Jakg :

not really - the wrecker barricade will have him banned from most LFS servers in a matter of days

Well I was trying to negotiate with him through PM, but like I said, it's like I'm his unwilling enemy from another life or whatever. Or he just had a bad day.

Either way, I had £24 stolen from me.

Quote from joen :

Be the wise one and report him to the admin/wrecker barricade next time.

He was an admin. Therefore I was grasping at mere straw.

Quote from nihil :

Both the chat and the vote bans are the first items I would remove from LFS. Both cause more bad feeling on the track than anything else (chat should only be available, and only be visible, when in spectator mode)

So true man. Although I disagree with the chat bit. I prefer it when people WARN me before BANNING me, you know? I'd be happy to see the ban option go. Keep the disconnect vote, because someone might be intentionally parking on the track, and THOSE are the people who need to be banned, not someone who ****s up once or twice. I can't count how many times I've been unjustifyably (sp lol) kicked/banned, just because I make a mistake. Gotta stop!

Oh yeah, breaking points. Well I know a few maps so far but not many. And the ones I do know, I only know a few corners on each map, lol. S'all good.

Aye right. You know what really tickles me. They want it all realistic and such, but when a crash happens, they cry and cry. How pathetic is it? Crashes DO happen, what world do you live in, omfg. Noobs at life.

Yeah I did train with bots some, but I just slaughtered them, too easy lol.
I need real, unpredictable players to learn anything.

Yeah something like that. I can't see that cruise one.
Already been banned from ConeDodgersRacing for trying to get used to the car... One of the admins bitches got annoyed because I wouldnt slow down fast enough for his blue flag, so he got me banned, like the little bitch I assume he is.

And I kinda was doing that ^ (Judging by this day)
I'll stop now, lol. Maybe it'll be populated tonight.
