There is a really nice spool replacement under a thread I started called "Turbo spool sound" I think it was called. If you use it, turn the spool volume down, and also lower the rpm option to i believe 80krpm, I will have to look when I get home.

It sounds pretty nice with the BOV replacement I found as well.

Is it aesthetic only, or does it effect grip also?

Quote from Dudles :

I Think it's only good if you use it at a very low volume, otherwise looks like someone is watching "Twister" in my engine bay...

+111 and then lower the recorded rpm a bit.

125 views and no one has anything??

Quote from Woz :

Sorry but was the way you were talking.

Yep, the world has started filling up with the idiot boy racers. Here in NZ we have just as many. Just done a road trip up north and had too many people sit 3mm from bumper down hill with blind corners.

Short fuse day

Its all good pal, I just hate how some of users on this forum tend to jump down someones throat for anything they don't agree with : \

I know how the short fuse goes >_< one of those damn weeks for me as well.

Quote from Woz :

Please don't say your seat is also low so you can only just see over the dash and your arms are at full reach as well just to hold the wheel.

If you actually really do push your car and only have one hand on the wheel you are asking for a MAJOR smash.

Guess its your life you are playing with. Just hope you don't kill someone that has nothing to do with your stupidity

no, im not some damn thug.

Quote from Woz :

Because if you really do push a car and try to hold the edge of grip on public roads and only have one hand on the wheel that is more than just the problem of the driver.

If you can't see the the risk then you are stupid.

I have said before elsewhere

Track = safe(ish) with sand traps and crash barriers, no traffic coming at you on blind corners.

Road = dead people.

The person in question sounds like this is what he does on public roads. People need to grow up and if you want to push a car GO ON THE TRACK.

Yes racing is about "calculated risk". Driving one handed at speed does not help you win a race BTW, it helps you crash.

Who said anything about racing? I don't go around racing everyone like an idiot. Have you any idea how many horrible drivers there are in Florida? like 85%. I am not looking to get my hard work trashed over a civic. While on the highway, or at any decent speed I have my hands on the wheel.



The assumptions you keep making are just making you sound like a fool.

Quote from atlantian :

do you do 4 wheel slides to clear narrow corners?

Try to, but in Tampa theres not much of anything to do, to many stupid drivers and old people : \

I usually drive with one hand on wheel, other on shifter D : but thats because my car rips through gears so damn fast >_<

Quote from Jakg :

what?! Latency does NOT mean "internet". latency can be used on memory for example (CAS LATENCY). Can be used in other stuff, to...

You know what, you are correct in that. I have forgotten about it being used in that fashion. Do accept my apologies kind sir.

Quote from Jakg :

No, what i'm on about is lag - latency, whatever. Lag doesnt have to mean internet, it can JUST mean latency.

Hah, bud, but latency mean internet. It is the time it takes for a packet to travel from its source to destination through the internet. So when you say latency/lag, thats what is coming out, it may not be what you are meaning, but thats what it is : P

I see in the Shift-A menu you can load a new turbo spool sample, anyone have a decent one?

Quote from Jakg :

*sigh*

Lag doesn't have to mean Internet lag.

Sure it does,

Lag is used in place of Latency.
"Latency is the proper name for the time it takes a packet of information to be sent from the sender to the receiver over a network."

What your talking about is drop in frame rates due to inadequate processing power.

People just need to be more specific I guess : \. That and they need to calm the hell down. People just jump on you for anything you say, its always wrong, and your always a noob. heh, which is why in my 5 years of playing this game i have but 50 posts.

No one else has to see the change, its no different then the animation of the moving his arms when you turn the wheel. If the animation is only done locally it would cause near no visual performance issues. It would not lag in the least as there is no need to process anything server side for an animation that is done locally.

Quote from JeffR :

My main issue with drifting is that typical compeitions, like F1GP (Japan) or Formula D (USA) consist of only 3 or 4 turns and then the run is over. But then again, I sometimes watch drag racing where there are zero turns (at least not on purpose).

Which makes it all the harder, you have to show them everything you got in 3-4 turns, meaning speed, style, angle, all in 4 turns.

Quote from frokki :

Easy. It's a car that's modified to perform better in drifing. You could aswell ask what is a drag car, a race car, or ice-cream van.

And on topic, drifting is popular in LFS because it's fun and easy. You can just jump to any server or track with any RWD car and start drifting. No need to practise lines or tweak setups, no need to care what other people do.

That is so inaccurate its not even funny : \

I spent months perfecting my setup with different camber and toe adjustments, tire pressures and gear ratios. If its not cambered correctly when your sliding you dont make full contact with the wheel and you get less control.

Drifting is not easy either, sure you can slide it once or twice then you spin out and stall. Try taking near an entire course in a constant drift. You absolutely have to practice lines as well, you have to know where to enter, at what speed and at what angle so that you can maintain the slide in and out of the turn and then connect it with the next turn.

Sheesh : P people think its just floor it and turn the wheel and see what happens.

honestly rice is summed up as someone who mods their car with non functioning or useless things. Like unnecessary gauges that they dont need (like a boost gauge on NA car, or neon shift knobs, hood scoops on a hood with no hole in it)

Stuff like that : P

I 100% agree we need a better turbo spool/wastegate sound

I have 2 copys of LFS installed, one new and fully updated one, and one strictly for LFSTweak and Slickmod. The replay Value of LFSTweak is Huge. I love all the options. If you can make it with similar options, (the ones you have now + add turbo to non turbo cars, adjust boost levels, wheels, engine position and what not) It would be quite literally the best mod ever created : )

And I do not see why all the "purists" are getting so butt hurt about this. It does not affect you in the least. They will not be able to join your race server that you are in first place on and fly by you in a v12 at 2,000hp. The server wont allow it. We do it in our own servers, I do it in single player.

People are getting mad because the game they like is not being played how they want it to be played. Thats like a clown getting mad because instead of making animals out of the balloons a kid makes a water filled phallus out of it, then throws it at a duck. Just sounds ridiculous. Let me play the game I payed for the way I want to. Its like telling me I cant drift.

Quote from Greboth :

In my experience of drifting in lfs any technique used IRL can be used in lfs. Feinting, handbrake, clutch kicking, down shifting. On blackwood reversed i rarely use the brakes. Take after the first sector that chicane if you get it side ways at about 80m you can travel side ways till the chicane and slows you down suitably for the corner.

When i read you post about second gear thought was strange but if your using the standard gear ratio's most corners on blackwood are drifted in 2nd.

I can usualy hit entire autocross courses with out hitting the brake, using powerover and engine brake can both speed you up and slow you down as nessecary while taking the whole track sideways. A little harder to keep a slide while engine braking, but its a good way to break the traction.

Call it a drift or touge course you get flamed to all hell. Call it a hill climb, and everyones on board! Same difference >_<

Do people not read other threads D : This is like what the majority of the many many page "Drift Tracks Needed!!!" thread is about, or atleast turned in to >_< we need harder overall moderation and merging of threads or at least something, so theres not 15 threads almost the same, but ever so slightly different that it gets overlooked

I

I just cant wait till its finally finshed, and it can be up to us, with modification abilities and track editors. Then threads that get no where like this can stop, because i could just go make a mountian pass track, and a mod with increased steering angle. Soon enough I suppose.

Quote from george_tsiros :

BZZZT! no car modifications. (of this kind at least). they won't allow "drift tyres". why would they allow greater steering angles? they removed it in the first place.

maybe because drift tires arent actually real, they are to some extent, but you dont go to the store and say "give me some drift tires". where as you buy tein tie rods and ends with the steering lock spacer you get increased angle. Which is a real thing. saying no modifications is stupid. The GTR's are full out mods to their slower counter parts.

Quote from Gabkicks :

wtf lol the thread was getting interesting than you come in and make very strange post.

Merely an observational analysis. : )
