Amazon is selling the Driving Force GT for 79.99 after a $30 logitech rebate.

I actually prefer it to the G25 with one little mod I did to the paddle shifters. I have free standing pedals so I don't need to plug them into the wheel. The G25 pedals will not plug in to the DFGT. With the latest 5.04 drivers all the buttons on the wheel work with a PC. Send me an e-mail [email protected] and I will send you pics of my shifter mod. Steve P

I live in the US and am currently running live for speed on a 32 inch Hyundai LCD TV DVI input at 1360 x 768 and it looks awesome. Bigger is better. My video card is a 7900 Gt with AA and AF maxed out. Steve P

If you have the display set at "the anisotropic filters 16x and antialising x6" that may be a little strong for that setup. Probably more at the video end than the CPU. If you want to run at high res I would suggest you upgrade the video card. I can highly recommend the NVidia 7900GT which can be purchased on Ebay for a little over $200 which is a steal.You did not mention if your setup is AGP or PCI-E. The 7900 is a PCI-E card. I have everything maxed in display settings with a 7900GT and an AMD 64 4000 at 1360x768 and I rarely drop under 150 fps when on the track alone. Steve P

Need to change the display mode from linear to one of the others Steve P

Was wondering that myself thanks for the suggestions Steve P

Fairly new to LFS and have done the majority of my sim racing on ovals in N2003.I am joining a LFS league and am trying to get up to speed in the Formula XR car. The first race of the season is at Blackwood. So far my best time there is a 109.77..... 23.84 first split.... which is off the pace. I am sure it is partly lack of driving skill (can't really trail brake) but my setup lacks grip and likes to slide. I have downloaded hotlaps and have studied them to observe corner speed , gearing,etc.
Any general tips for setting up these cars ...eg... Tire pressures,stiffness,camber,etc. I have tried the setup from team Inferno but it is very loose for me and there is only one posted. I would like to develop my own setup to suit my driving and hardware. Any general tips would be appreciated. I am driving with a BRD wheel and pedals setup. Thanks Steve P

Seems the BF1 cars require quite alot of downforce to be fast. Do you think this is realistic? I am not that familiar with F1 setups but low wing settings don't seem to work. Are my setups off or what ? Steve P

I would like to see an option like N2003 where you can modify a setup and an asterisk appears and you can change it as much as you like until you save it. Also would be nice to have just the setups for a particular track and car appear when you are using that combo....like someone mentioned ,a folder system. sparadise

Just checked my thread and glad to see there are some US. I am located on the west coast. Please hijack this thread all you want with available US racing. I wil be checking out the posts above, looks like they are some great racing opportunities out there.
I'm a little suprised at the reluctance to run the BF1 cars, they are awesome. If you get the setup they aren't that tough to drive, just takes some practice. When I started at Blackwood I was running around 1:00 flat, now 56's are pretty routine with my best a 55.9 so far.

Hey all,

Wondering how many US Drivers are doing BMW Sauber's. Would be nice to get a group from the US to run some races. Seems like most of the servers and racing are in Europe and elsewhere. Raise your hand by posting a reply here if interested in running some of the BF1 cars.
If we have enough interest I would attempt to setup a race server with some bandwidth. Thanks Steve

Does anyone think a better demo would sell more copies of Live for Speed ? I for one held off buying this game for a long time after trying the demo. The demo is no indication of how good this sim is. Agree ? Steve P

Just to clarify here are the steps

Go to garage and select new
Pick a name Eg F1 Renault
Go to the bottom of page and select BF1 and then the skins you placed in your LFS2\data\skins folder will be there for you choose and install.

I did a brainfart on the ride height question...I really meant is their telemetry to determine how close you are to bottoming out so you can get the car as low as possible. Thanks

I am new to LFS2 and am loving it. I have a few questions.

1. Is there anyway to alter a setup without saving it as a new file.When you leave the setup screen are the changes always permanent to the setup?

2. I don't quite understand the replay system, is in inactive in practice mode? I can get replays in single mode races but not in practice sessions.

3. Is there a limit to lowering ride height, how do you tell if the car is bottoming out? (BF1 cars)

Thanks Steve P

New to LFS2....downloaded some BF1 skins to the LFS\data\skins folder but when I enter the game they don't show up in the menu. What's the deal Thanks

Is it just me or does the traction control sound seem a little distorted or crackly for lack of a better word. Love the BF1
