Well, if you drop a slice of bread on the floor, it always fall on the peanut butter side.

I've just put my G25 away into the closet, lets see what happens next.

A blast from the past and bla bla bla....

I was wondering if I could expect something new if I come back in 2015 that's about 4 years from now?

read the rest of the forum

Well I checked the main website and the last update was about a server move on 2010-02-17.... then it goes back to 2009-11-25 for the last update.... so I was wondering if something exciting may happen in 2010 or if it is just.... dead

sorry. I don't have enough time left to read all the forum....

There has been absolutely nothing new on the website since February.... I was just wondering if LFS is dead or if there is gonna be something exciting soon?

Thanks.

Have some spare time and wanna laugh at AI ?

Set up a local race on any track with 20 AIs and assign one different car model to every AI... place them on the starting grid so the slowest cars are in first position and fastest are in the back... then just watch the race.

Can't remember where I've read that but, the limit for X1950 is 100c .... so don't worry!

Tristan, we all understand your point but don't you think you go little bit to far?

Advice: Think before speak or don't speak if it's not worth saying, it may help you some day IRL.

It would also be nice to rework the shift-U camera movement borders. Esspacially at Southcity. Every time the car/camera comes close to the wall the camera doesn't go futher. It would be nice when this would be handled like the pit walls. So the camera "jumps" over the wall.

BUMP


It would be very great if the camera movement was not restricted to be over the track and would be able to move all over the map!

(or if we can do it, can someone tell me how to?)

Quote from tristancliffe :

Did you really?

I was trying to be optimistic, but I didn't realise how many idiots there really are out there....

I drive a real tow truck... after 8 years getting used to a specific hydraulics valves layout for platform operation, my boss changed truck and platform company at same time..... 4 years later I'm still sometimes using the wrong valve because of different valve layout....

I'll give it a try then!

It's not the speed that worries me the most, it's the fact of accidentally ramming someone being unaware where and how close are the other cars to me, when passing or being passed..... I'm not always aware of where the race line exactly is if it is not being turned on with '4'th key
... and find it hard to know who as the priority, what you are allowed to do or not.... and it goes very quickly, if I don't look beside of my car I hit someone, and if I look long enough to judge the situation, I end up loosing control because I was not looking where I'm going....

Quote from The Moose :

Ohh, how annoying.

I don't know if CTRA is your thing at all, but it's certainly worth a try. I cant remember the last time a vote restart happened. It's really not the done thing. (well, not on the higher servers anyway. I haven't raced on race1 so I'm not sure if it happens there.)

To be honest, I'm little shy about joining CTRA because I know I'm still a noob with "the ethical code of real and LFS races" and I'm affraid doing something wrong (mistakes) and disturb the ones who take it very seriously.....

Quote from XCNuse :

You searched and didn't find anything?
hard to believe.


How's this list for ya

Defently, you are a machine! Many thanks....

I should have tried a bit harder, just got discouraged after reading unrelated pages for 3/4 hour....

Quote from AndroidXP :

1) this has been suggested before

I searched again but can't find it, do you have a link for me?

Quote from AndroidXP :

2) it would cause a considerable performance hit, because it would double the amount of scenes/viewpoints LFS has to render.

It could be optional?

When I'm sitting in a real car and looking in the mirrors, I use to move my head (left/right or up/down depending of situation) to change my angle of view, wouldn't it be great if I would be able to do the same thing in LFS using the TrackIR ?


EDIT: Adjustable rear view mirrors would also be great!!!

Quote from Woz :

....... and even if you are the slowest driver in a 5 lap sprint you will still place 1st as long as you finish.

not totally agree with this one because almost everytime I tried a race against people the same speed or slight faster than me, I would have been able to finish 1st because of a mistake they have made but every time they kept restarting the race before it ends it was kind of frustrating especially when they do it just before the end of the last lap!

Accolade's 1988 GP Circuit

Still have the music stuck in my head.

WOW! I used to play this game... I found a bug in it... you pick manual transmission with A and Z for upshift/downshift..... when you shift on 1st gear you hold the A button all the time... and you release it for a fraction of a second from time to time, it give you a boost in speed like if you were in first gear you could go really quick to over 300 mph with engine idleing as I can remember.... but don't forget to brake before the curve because if you touch the grass, the engine will kick in even if you hole the A button!!

I wonder what the inverse situation would look like..... I mean to teach someone (who never drove a car) how to drive on this game for many years then throw him on a real car to see what would happen

Quote from sinbad :

.....I think it's a case (for most people that struggle initially) of them not being aware of the car's speed, the sharpness of the corner, .....

should we conclude that the less realistic part is "what is being drawn on the screen VS what's really happening" ?

But normally in real life, does an undamaged car sitting in the gravel trap would require a tow truck to get out of it?

I don't know how these sand traps on the side of the track are in real life but one thing I know for sure is that if the sand would be so deep you're not able to move, your car would by the way roll over when you slide sideways in it?

Quote from Dethred :

The tire physics are almost like driving on water with racing wet tires, and with dirt on the tires its like driving on snow for a mile. Not only that but even if the tires are cold they pick up dirt that stays for 20-30 seconds. A simple burn out on any set of tires would rid it of practically all the dirt.

And the tires, with a decent setup that can hang with the best of em' will overheat too fast and not come down soon enough.

PS: Tristan, its not too hard, its too unrealistic. And no you're not the stig.

+1

The physics makes the game hard to play for sure but about realism.... I have a friend of mine (witch used to drive a rally and a race car in a real life, let's say he knows how to drive) came home for dinner yesterday and I had him try the game... after 20 minutes he was still unable to make a lap without incidents on blackwood with RB4 ... how can a "so realistic" game could be so hard to master?.......... ho, he also pilots small planes and had no problems landing a cessna (with style) in Flight Simulator X on the first try...... does that mean FSX's an arcade game?

I've got the answers by trying it myself.... you can run more than two copies on LAN no problems, and locking back an unlocked installation won't give you an additional unlock available.

link about it... (french)
