Yeah, if you want an uncomfortable, buzzy bike that doesn't have any midrange, or anything resembling power untill you hit 10'000rpm

yea, not a learners bike i guess.. but i love em so much..

Quote from sinbad :

Nice to see them ridden properly, too, although that's not very often. They usually whoosh past, brake a calendar month too soon and eventually wobble round the corner after having 3 or 4 attempts at turning in whilst awkwardly attempting to force their kneeslider to the ground with the tyre just approaching the inside edge of their 3 inch chicken strip
I swear most people buy them (and the colour coded leathers at the same time) because they think it will turn them into a great rider overnight.

See alot of that on Aus roads too Sinbad... It is quite funny. Even funnier when said colour coded package arrives for an open track day and 16 year olds on 250cc's are lapping them...

Just buy and R6 and be done with it...

Picked up my 2nd R6 a few months ago... love it. And if you find a road to put your knee down on, do it.

Just be aware of the consequences. And the old farts shaking their heads as you pass them on their cruisers...

Thats pretty good LFSNoob... well i liked it anyways...

but yea, JJ mad work...

Hey,

Cheers Devs.... Been away playing war for abit... but I am back now and happy to be loading up LFS again...

Clean install for me, last time I played was Patch T. So looking forward to this immensly.

Appreciate the time and effort you lads put in.

Shiny new G25 to use too... momo died just before i left and never bothered upgrading, now i have a reason too!

Seems like I have a lot of reading to do tho, lots of changes since Patch T.

Good job mate... looks just like my g/f's Astra, cept it has a holden badge, lol...

Don't think she'd let me turn it into an FXR tho,

gj thanks for the app

Quote from deggis :

Lack of grip doesn't only count BF1... just wait for the patch Y which hopefully addresses longitudinal grip issue.

cool, that would be mad... speshly for GTR racing...

totally agree with the comments made by mrodgers and g7usl....


too many subject matter experts in this place... one extra e, asked for something that has been asked for before...

if you people are all so friggen perfect you'd be on the dev's team and creating all this mad extra content... instead of sitting around on forums waiting for some dude who posts a simple thread to flame and ridicule.



+1 for a track of decent length and character in the vein of Nordschleife (no matter how many friggen eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's it has in it)

and with that steering and suspension damage it can be hard to be on the pace...

What i am saying is i had but a small amount of damage. it wasnt enought to throw me off pace... until i pitted, lol...

Yes i totally agree that if someone smashes and bashes their way around the track and suffers no penalty because they can turn off repairs then the game would suffer.

My suggestion is for the Devs to note. How they implement that is upto them. Whether its ready for S2 Beta, Final or S3?

Whether its an option only implemented as they make the damage taken more sensitive, realistic, specific or focus on the way it contributes to other damage of the car is i guess going to determine how long it will be until we see it...

waiting waiting....

i did read everything. And my entitlement allows me to reply in what ever way i like as you did.

But the way you wrote it makes you seem like what we in the forces call

SMEE

Subject Matter Expert Everything.

I am gathering from one of the other responses that you often post like that.

I'll just continue to race the way i do with the setups i like and suffer the lack of option until it becomes apart of the game.

Im glad this generated some responses... however...

In typical forum like substance, everyone has an answer to everything and everyone is an expert, a classic example of this is tristans complete breakdown of my post and having a comment for everything i said in that post. thanks tristan or maybe i should salute you...

To answer the question of one poster, I didnt email the Devs directly because i thought this was a better medium to get the info across and see how ppl comment...

Im not whining Tristan... I just think it should be an option for the player. You dont. Good on you.

I think some of you are missing the point of my post...
Firstly, im not asking you people who posted here, im asking the developers.
Secondly as most people here you assume to know all about my situation or what made me post here and set to adjust my thoughts on this topic.

We dont delibrately set out to cause damage... In the league we are racing in such action would see you lose your points...

That said, we are racing a single make, tintops series... All cars are equal... Therefore we are going to see some bumping, nudging and a few slaps here and there. And all who race in this league are aware of it, all have been involved with it... Its probably the closest thing we have in LFS to reflect out local racing that being v8supercars.
Surely you Woz, obviously being so worldly, would be aware of the v8supercar series... lol...

There are a few of us who regularly try and cut a minimum amount of laps per week to get the setups for the team ready to suit the track and race distance.
We are aware of not making cars that get damage and make the distance. But the dipper in Aston is a classic example. If you want to stay with the fastest guys, you need to aggressively run the line thru that part of the track that sees you pushing the limits of your setup. for 40 laps...

Most people had some form of wear and tear on the suspension after that.

Getting penalised for close hard racing or running the fastest line on the track is not very cool in my opinion.
Getting penalised for major contact wit another racer, or sending you car airborne after a major whoopsy i can understand.

I'd love to find someone who will run a setup that is obviously slower per lap just to avoid a little wear and tear on the race car in order to make their pit stop quicker...
Im pretty sure said driver would be pushing shopping trolleys and the seat would be taken by someone who would be willing to push the car to its limit. As race cars are meant to be raced.

The option to repair should reflect the racers position as the driver of the car.
If i want to continue on without fixing the small touches of suspension damage i should have that option.
If i have caused major damage to one sides suspension or pushed the front bar back right up against the motor, then yes... take the hit on the chin and do the time in the pits...

mate when you are getting suspension damage for running on two wheels thru the dipper in a tin top i just want to accept it and the choice to repair be mine...

and especially in the GTR cars, the odd nudge, bump and grind should be expected... speshly in a one make series...

I dont want to sit in the pits for 40 secs on a 40lap one stop race... its half a bloody lap...

Had a league race last night...
Worked my way from 12th - 5th place... was stoked... Pulled in for my pit and it set about repairing all the little dings and the small amount of suspension damage...
40 secs later i was released in 11th place...

Surely the devs could easily implement this please... In the F12 window you decide whether you actually want that stuff fixed...

I was in an FXR... on AS7... Im pretty sure i could have continued my pace and race with the small amount of damage i had received from launching this bad boy thru the dipper...

Please Devs... Lets implement this small thing...

i have my mini Gt and my two motorbikes...

I like having my LFS hobby and i like enjoying it with my gadgets...

yea well some of us have only just decided to set something like this up

One of the lads we race with here in Australia has just set this up...

He is getting other monitors soon, Samsung thin bezeled monitors..

It has convinced me to do the same... Altho i am going to try and remove the bezel entirely.

this is Funkys setup

Ill get mine up when its done... probably take a few months

Quote from matt_green84 :

Hi, first post.

Been racing LFS for a couple of weeks, and i'm getting the hang of it, but want some practice around other cars, as an empty track isn't really realistic.

So, i jumped on the demo servers, to find on each one at least 3 people going the wrong way round the track aiming at people. Its really frustrating, but as i'm not particularly competent yet, i don't wanna 'clog up' or slow down the licenced servers.

Anyone had a similar experience? Any reccomendations of a noob licenced server. I will buy the licence later today i think!

Exactly what blackout said Matt..

Get ur licence... Its worth it... There are leagues about for all different levels of racing...

There a generally people willing to race anybody... Just take ur time, get to learn the tracks and cars and have fun....

The demo is a taste, but the minset of some people on those servers doesnt reflect the community as a whole.

Look forward to seeing u licensed racing around Kyoto

Probably already has been said? makes sense....

Save having to upload to LFS world...


Ill go away now, lol...


Great Sim tho

Quote from huxorator :

Classes are enough in the game, but having more options in each class would make the game way more 'complete'.

/edit: This is more of a S2 wish than S3 to be honest.

Thats exactly where this sim should be headed for the next release...

We have a great and healthy racing community in Australia, with some very influencing drivers... We run a good mix of track/car combo's to keep everyone interested in either the AAL (australasian league) or MNR (monday night racing).

Alot of the time we need to run a single make series to keep it close. Yes the GTR's are great, and the XRR is my personal favourite car in the game, but a few more cars in each class would be fantastic, more so the actual race cars, not the road cars... UFR/XFR need another car to that class. GTR's could use two more cars, obvious one would be RB4 GTR and something to give the FZR a run.

Cheers... look forward to seeing the results of S3, hopefully by the time i get back from being away on hols for 6 months.

wow...

havent had a laugh like this cuz of a forums in ages... didnt try the cars, dont intend to...

Good luck to you for putting the effort in, i guess.... lol...

Interesting way of seeking support for your mod tho...

Hey lads,

My first helmet attempt... about 14 hours work... because i am a photoshop numpty... haha
