Wow! sense of humor guys?

Remember forum rule #1; If you can't say anything nice - STFU!

BTW, devs - can we have one of those anti-gravity racer thingies like wipeout for S4, Swoosh, Swoosh! yeah!

Delorean.

Although some features of certain well known examples may need to be outlawed as the cheating might get out of hand.

It's such a shame to see posts like these, surely there must be something we could do to help get things moving. I can understand that the devs must have bills to pay and other commitments, and LFS may not be top priority for them anymore. so there must be something we can do to help. aside from BUYING A LICENSE!

You'll find that most similar r/l cars are a LOT more predictable than the RAC. It's chassis is sensitive to throttle inputs like a good mid engined car should be, but when you combine that with a torquey turbo lump, poor weight distribution and limited setup options, it makes is a tough car to fully get to grips with.

If you don't trust your car you won't enjoy racing it, so not many people do.

I don't think it's really a problem if you go online with any version of tweak since you'd get booted out with an OOS error unless everybody has EXACTLY the same car specs. The best thing to do is make a preset file for Tweak and share it. (but only on your own server!)

Let's face it, Real-life race teams will spend thousands on chasing tiny gains like that so i guess it's fair game, If chasing tiny little margins turns you on, so be it.

I use a clutch/shifter setup which puts me at a disadvantage against those that use 2 pedals and paddle-shift. But it doesn't matter to me though, If I'm the fastest Clutch user on the chart, that's as good as a WR for me!

Fern bay was pretty much designed with the LX in mind. Any of the variations suit the LXs very well, very technical and not too open like weshill or aston.

South city is a good choice too, you'll end up with a lot of bent LXs though.

Try to bear in mind that the LX4 is more fun on a medium/tight track, and the LX6s suit a big wide open space. IMHO you should pick a track based on it's suitability for the LX4 as it's the 'sweeter' car to drive, and you'll end up with more satisfied punters that way.

The peugeots had by far the faster car. But poor performance/strategy in wet conditions and poor reliability meant they couldn't capitalize on that advantage. I'm sure that they'll come back next year with those problems solved. And they'll probably win.

Great Race!

Well done to the Charouz LMP1 Aston, Dome for making it against the odds. and of course the 009 Aston for putting those lovely colours back on the top step.

Mine won't work either. I'm running XP SP2 so that'll probably be why.

Try using a little less front anti roll bar, or a little more toe in at the back. it'll be a bit more oversteery but in a way that'll work the rear tyres properly. hybrids are a good option and add a little balance to how the tyres warm up. but you can go just as fast with normals, it just takes a more attacking style/setup to get heat into them.

Honestly what a drama queen though round the outside of Corum then a quick lock up just to get an impressive picture, just got the cloak missing.

He locked up even more "impressively" the next lap!

Here's some more of the action.

I took these pics last sunday at snetterton. Featuring the red Reynard 883 of our very own Tristan cliffe.

He duly went on to win the race, and take fastest lap too! Well done mate!

Releasing a do-everything tweaking tool could be disatrous for LFS. maybee in the future we could have 'custom' cars with some kind of scrutineer for online use. but ATM that's just a pipe dream.

And it's very important to keep this to licenced racers only, you get enough of a game for free anyway, why should you get any more? If you could tweak your way to a GTR why would you want to buy one for £24?

Thanks for your hard work ciph. Some of us appreciate it!

Best wishes for the future!

That's what happens after a while!

This WAS what I was driving!

He was probably just too busy watching his g-meters. or maybee wanted to see how comfy the airbags were. (they look kinda plush to me)

maybe it does on the new patch, but not when i did it

It might have been possible with S1 (never got higher than about 350 with mecanik+S1) but it's never been possible with S2. I'd love to see it done, going supersonic along the Blackwood straight must be rather interesting!

Erm. he lied!

LFS is incapable of simulating an object travelling faster than around 450 MPH, the car simply resets once you hit this limit.

I'd take it as a sure sign your demo friend hasn't ever been faster than about 400

It's probably best to take any critical comments as a compliment. you'd soon go mad if you didn't!

Most of the problems are due to incorrect memory addresses in the INI file. I've been playing for the last few hours and can't make too much progress. most of these problems could be solved with a little help from somebody who knew the correct memory values or at least a better way of finding them.

The program itself seems pretty good other than that.

Unless this is just a sick joke just to tease us poor tweakers.

Be carefull not to wear out your refresh button!

The figures seem pretty high, compared to real world figures. If you were to knock 10-20% off they would be about right. I guess LFS is more economical than real life. But i suppose you've got to do what you can to reduce your carbon footprint!

One of the true greats, and one of the nicest world champions you'll ever find. the world has lost one of it's good guys.
