Mid-Ohio! Yay!

Just did it right now. Two opened.

They just want to sell more C2Ds.



"Live For Speed will run well on any machine made in the past 2 years" doesn't have the same advertising value

LFS will run on a P2 233, come on now.

I get 100 FPS (1920 x 1200, all visual settings max) on my two year old laptop.

I believe that is what you are looking for.

Can anyone with a Black Momo or DFP tell me the specs of the PSU for it?

I have a damn Momo and DFP sitting here and I forgot both of the PSU's when I moved.... I finally got a desk where I can use a wheel again and I can't use them now.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for stopping by Dennis and giving us some insight on your car and your future plans with it
If our hopes of a simulated DP1 come true, I would be very interested in your feedback about the simulated version. I think it could really benefit the development of the sim. But we will just have to wait and see
My compliments on your project, it's really interesting not to mention very impressive

He would have to play! Someone grab him a license. I'm poor.

Quote from dpcars :

you have to keep in mind that actual LMP cars (and pretty much every other racing class) are controlled by RULES. the rules specify a flat floor and a whole lot of other things, so they have to have wings both for downforce and tuning of front/rear aero balance. dp1 is intended to write the rules, not follow them for a great number of reasons the dp1 will never actually compete in LMP - it just isn't designed to. but i do intend to take it to some of the same tracks and see how the lap times stack up (of course if it doesn't work then nobody would care for the rules i write, but that's the risk in any new design). in the production version there are actually two wings, in addition to the main undetray - you just can't see them because they're under the bodywork. it's a different way to go about things. whether or not it's better, time will tell.

Welcome welcome!

I have no real questions, but merely have you played LFS yet?

Muse - Bliss

Ah, I will kindly remove my foot from my mouth then.

Don't get me wrong, this looks like a nice, and fun car to drive, but if we're going for a new car why was the Atom not considered instead?

After clicking that link (I followed a different link showing what each car was based off of) that shows what the UFR is based off of. I'm truly frightened.

Quote from Racer Y :

Hmmm... going back to chess and poker... Do you think a video game title will ever reach the status of those two?

Counter-strike anyone? Jesus Christ. Millions upon millions of dollars come from that game each year.

But, to LFS. The fact of the matter is as everyone has said: LFS can be incomplete, lacking a lot as I feel it might be now, and is still far beyond anything that ANY company has ever put out. It's not some bull shit hyped up arcadey sim. Three guys pour their guts into it and aren't satisfied with sub-par results, unlike anything that could even claim to be their competitor. There are few games you can play consistently and remain challenged. LFS is one of them. Hell, I don't even drive all of the cars. I typically find one, create or download a setup that makes the far feel good and drive the shit out of it until I finally decide that I'm still the slowest guy on the track. Then I switch cars and undoubtedly find out the exact same result with that car. Until I run out of cars (Which will, as the pace goes now, be in about three years) LFS will not be old to me.

Start drifting (AH! HE SAID DRIFTING!). There are so many people that do nothing but it and are, frankly, amazing at it. It's a challenge to even remotely compete with them going around the track.


Hell, bust out the AU_Autocross and start making layouts of tracks that you, and other people will enjoy. There is a vast amount of satisfaction you can gain from the simplest of things within LFS. It's just up to you to find, and enjoy them.

Hell, this feature rocks. Now my UF1 sounds like it should. Mean, growling and a small hint of raspiness. I hope this gets full fledged implimentation.

I've used both.

Dead zones and sensitivity make for extremely hard driving. Use the mouse or get a wheel is my advice.

It would be much nicer to have the pedal display near/overtop/on the car when spectating and watching replays. Can this be done as an option?

More often than not I hit this turn and brake too late for it.

Fantastic thread. Thanks for the pictures and videos.



Edit:

In my old car, I had the suspension setup.... well... to not move. I had less body roll than an F1 car. (joking). But... I had about -1.5 camber in the rear and could fold the tires almost to the rim. They were "street performance" tires.. Toyo's.. on 30ish lbs of pressure. But then again, I tried to flip the car more often than not.

Again, to reitterate:

Why restrict who can join? Everyone's money spends the same, yes? If someone (Like me) who is a terrible driver, is willing to spend the money, much the same as the "professional" people are... why not take everyone's money equally?

This will give the better drivers incentive to join because of the higher purse value. Everyone can be happy!

I did it about three weeks ago. I just used my S2 username and password.

S1 and LFStweak is fun! Wheelies and two wheels with a million HP!

Get S2, drive the FZ50. <3. It's (in my opinion) the best drift car. With a good setup, touch the throttle and it slides in. Throttle and counter-steer and you can drift where ever you wish it to go.

Quote from Dygear :

Depends on who you draft with, myself with the help of my team mate (EAGLE)Canadaman we got a 30.99 with the draft.
Take a look at the Eagle Race Team website, I'm sure the some of the eagles would love to help you learn. Infact we have an evet comming up for the Oval, as a celebration. Your more then welcome to attend.

http://eagle.TheNZ.org/

Do count me in. I'll only be able to attend for a bit shy of two hours, but I'll be there!

Well, I ran a 31.68 in the BF1 on the oval without a draft. Then another player offered to assist me in learning to draft and I ran a 31.70 with the draft. I guess, as you say, practice makes perfect.

Thanks for the advice and the video.

That helped a bit. I'm looking for points of re-entry into the draft of the car that just drafted (you) me.

I've been able to draft a bit, but I either pull back behind too late and lose the draft, or suck back in too soon and lose it there as well.
