Quote from XCNuse :lotus.. with a modern twist? why's it got honda logos on it? honda during those the golden race age was red and offwhite (well.. white.. but it always turned out to be offwhite lol)

No, I've just based it on the Lotus colours with a modern twist, as I really like the Lotus colours. Its not really meant to be a Lotus skin. I am tempted to do a more traditional skin though. Its powered by Honda as I am also a fan of Honda.

Heres my skin, its an update of my Lotus colours with a modern twist. I'm really pleased with it as its my best skin yet and I think it suits the car.

Quote from zorrofox :About as much as all those programs on your pc. Why not use a seperate 'Gamer' account? That's what I've done. All my games are installed on the one account along with Teamspeak and all other related programs. Runs sweet as a nut.

Why bother? I don't have many games on my HD or too many shortcuts on my desktop. Before I had loads and it was noticable, what I have on there now are my "essentials". I have attached what I was on about, my old PC used to be similar to that.

IMO What you have done with accounts is overcomplicate things really and as BWX232 said, accounts slow you down.

Quote from detail :Two more crash videos. Better than those before.
NFSer in a tunnel (FWD lam0)

What an idiot. To be fair, the car he was trying to avoid looked to be going overly slowly tough, but the guy should have been more aware and moved out earlier.

As for that bus driver he should lose his job.

Quote from TagForce :Track sucked though...
It's a silly excuse for a circuit, even a street one.
The only wide spaces are completely useless because they give you no opportunity to overtake, and the places that allow overtaking end up in a bottleneck making every attempt at passing overly risky.

Street circuits are like that though. Monaco used to be the same, but is almost a roadcourse these days. It reminded me of the old Monaco in places in fact. It created a good impression of speed and I saw overtaking at several corners. The track was a success IMO.

This is my helmet design, I tried to do a Union Jack, but it was a bit difficult so I ended up with a ST Georges cross (England) but I kept the blue because it seems to stand out and also says I'm British.

Quote from sidi :The problem is that most will not vote unless they see with there own eye's and you can shout wrecker till your blue in the face ppl still dont vote I opoligize if my swearing offended anyone tonight on the olfsl practice server but we all have our breaking point and mine has broke good and proper,after nearly 60,000 miles in lfs i find it very sad that i don't enjoy s2 and i very much doubt i'll bother with public servers its just not worth the grief.

What servers are you using? There are plenty of good ones out there. Join up to a club or something where the users are all clean.

Quote from keiran :Then guess who I see 5 mins later in a different server the same guy with was up to his games running into things on purpose, weaving down the stright and running into people. This time he had an accomplice who would wreck each other and generally cause chaous.

That is the most irritating thing to me, its ok when theres one, but then his little friend gets involved. I can just imagine them on MSN or something giggling away like the little children they are.

Even Gran Turismo has a seperate button for reverse, I'm sure beginners pick that up easy.

Yeah I like yours, the Union Jack on the side is especially smart.

Just though I'd post my skin, its based on the old Lotus colour scheme, but I've given it a modern twist. I made skins for all the cars but it seems to the best on this car.

I watch almost every round of the BTCC and I can tell you that they DO NOT bumpdraft.

Quote from tweaK_05 :Like TagForce said, there’s a ton of other motorsports where it is used. And using the 3 most popular ones where it isn't used, doesn't really prove anything besides the fact that bump drafting can't be used in anything open wheel, with weak/no bumpers, for the obvious reason. And if this is mostly what you watch/race, then surely you're going to think it’s stupid.

Name some series then apart from NASCAR. I used the three "biggest ones" as you say as a good example of where it isn't used, nothing more. As I said above I watch other series too and its not used there.

Quote from TagForce :I can do nothing but kindly inform you that there are, in fact, several championships that do not involve cars with no roof, huge inverted wings front and back, and wheels that stick out like antennae. There indeed is a reason you don't see it in those classes, although I did watch a BMW World Series race this week (replay) where there actually were 2 drivers who DID bumpdraft... Even I thought they were mental.

Got it in one. The BMW cars are built to last and the drivers are young and don't care. I have never seen it used in any other single seater series as its dangerous. I don't believe that its as common as you seem to be making out either, even the BTCC don't use it and thats becoming a bumper car series.

Most motorsports I watch never use bumpdrafting, I'd never heard of it until today, and it seems its only used in a tiny number or Motorsports. I mean, F1 is my favourite sport and could you imaging it being used in that? The danger would be immense! same goes for Champcar or the IRL.

I would like to say that I think its a stupid idea and the people who like using it have to ask themselves, have the other users I'm doing this to even heard of it and would they appreciate it. Its ok saying, bd is fine, whats the problem!? Well I wouldn't appreciate it, especially if I've never even heard of it before. I'd just assume its some n00b who hasn't realised that if he can't get past that he may have to back off before he hits me.

Quote from The Very End :If you talk about LFS, I has done it. But how can I invert them in normal windows, or any other ways also?

What wheel do you have? If its a Logitech, you can invert the axis in the Logitech Profilers screen, which you can get to in the controllers control panel.

Quote from micha1980de :serious question.

so, it's a used (?unusable?) wheel...
well for a beginner and tech-freak (likes to dismantle/un-dismantle things)
who wants to get some inexpensive wheel experience... why not.
how much do you want for it?

Its gone back to Logitech for them to do whatever they want, sorry!

Momo Racing Force is my new one, the old one was a Formula Force (I think they mean't to send me another F Force but the Momo was a mistake! They aren't getting it back! )

I actually find that I go (or went!) faster when I braked early too. I would brake a touch earlier than those around me, yet I would come out of the bend as fast if not a bit quicker. I think its because the cars all settled and I can balance it on the throttle easier rather than the technique of rushing into the corner at the last minute. I also 'trailbrake' as mentioned. In fact I've started practising with it on the roads for real!
Its good to be back

Well this is my first post here, but I've been playing LFS for ages, yet have only got back to it recently.

I needed to get a new wheel and have been meaning to for ages, as my old one finally became unsuable and needed scrapping (Its a Momo Racing Force if you're interested) and how I missed this game! It shows too as I can't drive!
