There's no challenge in F1 today, far too clinical.

That's what I call car control, none of this paddle flicking, traction control nonsense.

F1 Is so chaliging becuase of the intensity of an open wheeler and the sheer G-Force there put under and still able to drive as well as they do in such a tight power band is pritty astrunomical. BTW the only 2 Classes i hold higher in skill is 2nd MotoGP 1st WRC (only becuase i like to drive on the dirty stuff :P)

Quote from c0nv1ct :

I have 2 trucks in my driveway. A '98 Dodge Dakota, and a '93 GMC Typhoon. I consider the Dakota 4WD, since when I put it in 4WD the differentials lock, as i've noticed when making sharp turns when 4WD is on, as a previous poster noted. The Dakota, stock, is high off the ground, the 4WD is meant for offroad conditions. The Typhoon is AWD, tight turns cause no problems, and the truck is low to the ground. It's designed to have AWD for stable acceleration and cornering.

To me AWD and 4WD are different in that they are designed for 2 different things. 4WD to me means that its "off-road capable" and AWD means on-road stability. You might say these Subarus and such go offroad, as in dirt tracks etc. But IMO a dirt track is still a road, there are such things as dirt roads.

So does that mean my Rally Toyota Corrola AE20(4A-GE with T50 gearbox) Is a 4WD car becuase i can take it off road (Big Red was fun :P) even though it's a RWD car?

P.S. For u none aussie ppl Big red is the bigist sand dune in australia and the entry/exit to one of the hardest 4WD tracks in australia/world

+50-3

this system will only work if they get ride of the u can't Pit/Disconnect Or Vote Cannceld when playing on a server

I would just like to Say OMFGWTGBBQsandwich. Touge Is a Referal To a Windy Road(Note the word road and not the word track!) not nesaserly a Moutain(there just the best egsample). a touge battle is a Referal to a race from start to finish as seen in... Initial D(And yes i am asamed i know it :'( ) if u accualy watched this show these arn't all drift battles they are races from start to finish! anyway if LFS does make a hillclimb/disent all it will be is a dragstrip on a hill with some windy bits.

Quote from Gunn :

It is true. AWD is not the same as 4WD.

4X4 Drivers say there is becuse they have a little box that changes from RWD, High ratio 4WD and Low Ratio 4WD

most AWD are constint Drive to all 4 whells were the Term 4WD or 4X4 refers comenly to a car wich as another little wanabe gear box thing(i think it conects to the Transfer case? can someone pls corecct me.) were u can change from RWD and 4WD as stated ubove

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Although AWD doesn't handle as well as RWD on the road. Otherwise Formula 1 wouldn't be RWD.

Dude learn logic F1 Cars run RWD Becuase u don't need a 100kg shaft going from the engine in the rear to the front whells and there is more skill in driving a RWD car so in the 3rd hardest driving event in the world u would expect a chalenge!

Quote from webwing :

Since this is sort of a sensitive subject let me start by stating that:
I like LFS just as it is. Other sims have real cars and tracks which is really nice. LFS doesn’t but it has other features that makes it great too. I don´t think any one sim is ever going to be perfect, and specially not for everyone. Every game/sim has strong points and weak points. Use the one you like or buy them all.
Mods can be a good thing or a bad thing, I´m not getting into that though.

There are real cars/vichels:
MRT5(MRT) built by the McGill Racing Team to compete in the Formula SAE championship

Raceabout(RAC) built by Finnish university students

A recreation of a BMW Sauber F1 car from the 2006 season, with a 720 hp V8

Well i Drive a 125cc Warter cooled rotax and understand wat they mean by the Chassie flex. With a go-kart u don't have shocks or springs u just have a chassie u can change the stuffniss of it wich makes very miner difrentces but a lot of the tuning is in the chassie u choose A.K.A. the thicknes: 28/28 28/30 30/30 30/32(wat i got :P) 32/32. Also going to be interisting if the us the Big germen karts with a Brake rotor for every whell or the good old euro disine of a single rotor on the rear axel.

Well Th Flames Is corsed By Fual being pushed into and engine on Down Revs and thereby dosn't get unuf air in with it so the remaining fual Goes into the hot exeast pipe and explodes there And becuase of the short ness u can see the flames being burnt becuase of the extreme shotness of the pipe. This won't hapen on the GTR cars in LFS becuase the exuast pipe goes all the way to the back of the car. Also with things like that Car can be tuned out in the ECU but won't afect performence but will grab the eye wich is wat advertisers like so they leave it in. The turbo bak fire is a mod mainly used by Rally cars were the engine keeps runing but dosn't ingnight all the cylinders and lets it explode into the exuast systems so it spools the turbo reducing turbo lag enormisly.

Quote from danowat :

Not the sort seen in NFS etc, but some motion blurring on things like wheels etc.

I notice this alot when watching slo-mo replays, the way the tyre decals and wheel spokes look when spinning isn't really very nice, maybe a "blurred" texture for a spinning wheel/tyre, or some motion blurring added to these parts.

/Slap. if u want motion blur take down a bottle of smirnoff and the screen will go blurry for u.

I think the V8 Supercars do it beter. They have a Green Light behind the winscreen and when it's on they havn't made there stop when it's off they have. As Deminstraded by Craig: http://www.v8supercar.com.au/p ... ;piid=23139521&pnum=1

i would just like to say ROFLMFAOOL!!!! drifting is done how ever you want i can drift a XFG by clutching and steering quick into a corner. or FO8 just quickly let off the gas and gun it till sideways and just aplly a little gas till through the corner. XRT just constanly gun it keeping the rear out through the strait and corners. or just use the lift-off technique from the driftbible for the FZR. learn to use difrennt thechniques for difrent car's and sets. it all about practice put in the hours and you will get the reward

Quote from tristancliffe :

Trying to call someone a moron, without being able to spell abbreviation, respect, opinion or complete just isn't going to work you know.

WOW, Way to insult the Dislixic kid! hope you fell proud of yourself for calling me out on the resin i was kicket out of School and lost 3 jobs way to go tuf guy!

Point aren't useless you can bost about how yours is bigger :P

it was a dry day coming out of my driveway and put my foot all the way to the ground going from a dirt driveway to cement road. did a 180 then staled it.

WOW thats the fisrt time i havn't seen a stack on the first corner :P

2 files attached one of me in a FO8 and one from way back in my N00B drifting days with a joystick, demo and a pocket full of miricals :P

I have attached a Vidio that will show how unrelistic the game can get, but this S2 is still prity young and there yet to relese a patch to fix all the phisics!

P.S. i'm a drift and it took me 40 mins before i could get a set working for drifting a FO8. i love to drift for fun but racing is always harder nomater wat any drifter says!

this might sound stupid but when you race these real cars do you slam the gas in 1st? i did that in my mum's car(1990 4WD Corola) and it span around! i got a good yelling from my mum. even in auto's my m8 was going down main street were doing about 40km/h he hamers it to get past the lights in time and takes it sideways. anyway the tyres are high performence road tyres not slicks/semi-slick if you put to much power into them expect them to spin!!! but hey that's wat i have picked up in the 4 mounths i have been driving.

Yer AI are actyly good drifters once you put opsetecals on a corner and set there brake's to lock the rear instanly there beter then 20% S2 Drifters and about 70% of demo, and XCNuse i was just dising you for no reasine i have know idea who winston churchill i just have a lot of freinds who like to insult Him, and i allways expect the spanish inquisition love Mounty Pythen. but i have to quote Heerbommel "The guy likes to show a screenshot in the topic screenshots. He knows what its for "

hey i don't know wat your smoking but you can pick up a ATI radeon 256Mb card from as little as $70 AUD or $40 second hand. i put a nice comp runing 90FPS on strait and 70+FPS Group Drifting wich ended up costing $800, just don't buy a brand comp just get the componets and a case!

Wow im sry i had to put you through the Trumer of looking at a pic that some ppl might like or some might be compltly stuck up priks about. but hey you Quote Winston Churchill so i don't really need to diss you anymore then that.

This has got to be the worst Abriviatio i have ever heard on LFS any Drifter who has a team like that will never get respec just drop it so it Speed Stars or your going to look like an [ASS] on the feild!!!

This is not a shot at you just an apenyen that you have to be a complet moron to belong to a team called ASS

well ppl i have a little pic some ppl might find intersting:

i was watching a AI to see were my car's best shift position was and the AI Did this :P hopfully give you a little luagh and proves it's not just N00Bs Drfit Pro AI do it to :P
