If i had any kind of programming skills, i would have made this a long time ago. I think it would be something fun to mess around with when i don't really feel like circuit racing.

Watch your language Dik Dolan! lol..you crack me up plaztik

Quote from rc10racer :

the most common thing in lfs that has stuck to me is slow in fast out

yea, that is one of the best things to learn in real life or in sims...going into a corner slower will allow you get back on the gas earlier in the turn. Also try to be as smooth as you can...a squealing(sliding) tire is slower than one that is not.

Quote from Shotglass :

fear isnt l33t at all ... only n00bs experience fear

if you aren't experiencing fear...you are going to die...lol, because you get cocky and do something stupid.

All professional racers experience fear...fear keeps your right foot in check

i think he's going to set a record for the shortest time registered before a ban..lol

Quote from yoink :

Ah! I see. Another magnetic drivel black hole about a stupid topic, i suppose 'stupid questions deserve stupider answers'.

Wow...that was the most rediculous/worthless/useless post i've ever read....and on top of it..it's coming from someone that has 5 posts and has been on the forums for less than 24 hours. Great way to introduce yourself to the LFS communityillepall
I'm not going to quote all of your rediculous comments, but, you need to grow up and show some respect. Especially to Banshee

@COOP201 - make sure your server filter is set for S2 and not Demo...i've heard of this happening to people before...if you have it set to Demo then you aren't seeing all the available servers. Just a suggestion

Also, (don't laught, i'd like to see something like TRAC with this idea, it would kick ASS) www.arenaracingusa.com .

lol...that looks awsome...don't know how it would be in a sim...but it looks like a hell of a lot of fun in real life.

Quote from biggie :

They are all Gods at their respective instruments, but what's most amazing about this band is that together they've reached a level of technical perfection where it more seems like you perceive the entire band as one. Well, one more jaw-dropper with proof of what I claim:

Very, very true...and that video is awsome...i never saw that one before

Quote from Bob Smith :

Interesting point to note, every link so far has been to YouTube. I think google got a good purchase!

That's very interesting indeed. Another point to note is that Crazy Harry actually started a thread that's successful and doesn't dissolve into an oval flaming war

Quote from biggie :

Dream Theater - Under A Glass Moon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Izw1Go8JYk

John Petrucci is just a guitar god...lol...i prefer Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension Experiment with him though..10 minute video of the band just kind of jamming on stage with almost zero rehersal..it's just awsome.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Whoa. What happened to Mudvayne... Thats a radically different image from the original Not Falling video (not the one with the snow)

Yea, they've changed a lot...but i think it's for the better.

Chad Gray(lead vocals) actually started taking lessons over the past couple of years and his skills have improved tremendously. So they are gearing more towards actual vocals instead of just hardcore raspy screaming.

They stopped wearing all the make-up in like 2003 and started a cleaner image. I don't know why...but at least they don't look like Marilyn Manson anymore..lol

TranSiberian Orchestra- Christmas Eve Sarajevo(christmas music with a rock twist )

one of my favorite songs to play on the guitar

my favorite band

Weird Al Yankovich- White and Nerdy

This guy is hysterical and extrememly talented. If you guys don't know him...he takes real songs and makes parodys of them.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

This car currently holds the world record for 0-100mph and back to 0 again for a road car. Something ridiculous like 6 seconds or something!

yea..0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds with a 0-100 in 5.3 seconds....that's just rediculous! It does 0-100 just about as fast as my car does 0-60...lol. I can only imagine what it's like to drive a road-legal car that fast.

Quote from BurnOut69 :

Another Playboy skin, based off Christian Abt's real DTM car

That one is a little more tasteful...lol

Quote from tristancliffe :

Woah, what the hell are you doing to cause that!!! Understeer + dab of brakes shouldn't result in a spin, at least not in normal circumstances. If it did billions would die on the road each day!

if you think about it tristan..it makes sense....you have the wheels turned a good ways to the right to make a corner...car starts understeering(front tires lose traction)...when you hit the brakes...you get weight transfer to the front wheels causing them to suddenly regain traction...creating a quick and fast turn to the right(because that's the way the wheels were pointing)...rear tires cannot keep up with the fast jerky movement and therefore lose traction creating the snap oversteer.

Normal circumstances on public roads and normal circumstances on a race track are two totally different things Not many people go sliding into corners faster than their car can handle on public roads.

But, when it does happen on public roads, it usually ends up with the car spinning(like i said above) and hitting a wall or guard rail(my friend destroyed his car doing this exact thing)

Quote from deggis :

Totally different game? I don't think so. It has been researched that the demo had exactly the same tyre physics than the retail version.

I really don't care about research...all i care about it how the game feels...and, to me(along with everyone else i race with), there was a big improvement between the demo and the retail versions.

I did the same thing with rFactor that everyone is doing with GTR2. When i first started playing the game, i hated it...because LFS was all i knew at the time and rFactor was so different. If you give it time though, you will adjust to the new games and realise how much better the immersion factor is. Granted, LFS's physics are awsome...but it just doesn't look like you are actually sitting in the car on the track. That's because it doesn't have the fancy graphics and effects of the other games.

And i know i'm going to get crap for this, but......IN MY OPINION.....the physics in GTR2 feel more realistic than LFS. When the tires break traction...the car behaves as it should...i.e. pushing through the corner and then if you tap the brakes, the car spins around like it should in real life. If you tap the brakes while in a slide in LFS...the car just brakes like it has traction...you don't get the snap oversteer that you should.

I have real world racing experience in both FWD and RWD vehicles, so i have somekind of grasp on how a real life racecar acts.

Everyone has their own preferences when i comes to racing games/sims...that's why there are many different games on the market. It all comes down to personal preference and which one you like better.

the demo version of GTR2 is horrible...it is the reason i didn't pre-order the game...but seeing as my entire team bought it...i went and bought the retail version as well.

There is a HUGE improvement between the demo and the retail versions. The retail version is soooo much better, it makes the demo version look like a totally different game.

Just to let you guys know...so don't base your opinions on the demo version, because you don't know what you're missing.

The new physics patch also helps tremendously

gee, that's a nice oval on top of that factory there. They should have a little autocross course set up in the ::ahem:: "infield"

just trying to bring this thread out of the woods and, at least, somewhat back on topic.

Quote from jtw62074 :

All three pedals are FFB. This is a new Logitech product due out in November according to the gentleman at the display.

That seems kinda weird, seeing as they just released the G25...i would have thought that if they have FFB pedals in the works, they would have put those with the G25.

What kind of force feedback could you really put to a pedal though? Other than vibrations, which would probably be taken from the steering wheel signals.

But, just like everything else...we will have to wait and see.

Quote from Kegetys :

I paid 29 euros for my Club3D 6200LE

lol...ok then, it's cheaper to use the software

Quote from Kegetys :

Software can do the same trick

But then you need two pci-e cards

but i guess it depends on what's cheaper...the TH2G or a low end pci-e card. My current mobo doesn't support pci-e so i don't have a clue how much low end cards cost.

please refrain from telling Dygear about mistakes that he makes....he gets very irritated

Quote from adamkob32 :

Dell also has them in stock. I will have mine Monday.

--Adam

yea, one of my teammates ordered his from Dell yesterday...and he recieved it today....so if you want it as soon as possible...i would say order it from Dell.

Frame rates were the big thing i was worrying about. TCannon, what's your system specs?

My video card supports dual outputs, so i'm running two monitors for MSFS2004 right now, but i would like to get this so i can run three monitors and also have LFS capability

And now for the crazy idea...lol...i wonder if it's possible to run two video cards with two TH2G's for a total of 6 monitors...lol....don't know what you would put on 6 monitors...but it would be cool...lol.

lol...it looks like the kid in the back is cleaning the tire with cotton candy

i only have that problem on servers that are very laggy, or with a specific user that is lagging.

99% of the time the cars look fine going around the track.

As for your skins being blurred...that's another problem i don't have..lol. IMO, the cars in rFactor look awsome. You might have to play with your detail settings
