a quickie

I'M IN!

You know you're a long time LFS player if u can remember...

Finishing the race at BL, crossing the finish line, making a hard left and jumping the pit lane wall and fence and landing on your wheels in pit lane

I was playing with Midtown Madness and DTR (Dirt Track Racing) late 2002 / early 2003. At the time there was talk of cheaters in MM, searching the net I came across a discussion on a team forum for MM about the cheaters. Looking through the forum I found a brief mention of LFS and link a to the demo. Downloaded, played offline for a bit but never got into it. Sat on my hard drive for a few months, finally signed up on RSC. I think it was late 2003 before I really got into LFS heavy, never looked back.



EDIT: Yup, late 2003 was when I got bit

Ah yes ... memories need the old Blackwood back. I think it should have never been changed.


Now who can set up a host for some retro racing

CW, this thread is about people joining CoRe.....there's only ONE way for you to get back on topic in this thread....

Thanks Banshee, no reset was the only option I didn't check.

And sorry to be OT, Congrats Brian

Hi Guys,

Looking to join your coreracing.com sever tonight but...

I can see people on the server in LFSW but server doesn't show in the server list

Last time this happened I found I was banned from the server

Not again? I didn't mean it, really

"Just up the road on the left, better bring your own paper"

I agree... no wait I disagree...

Hmm, I'll wait till I read something I can agree or disagree with and get back to you.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I do like the idea.

I've occasionally suggested (over the 4 years or so I've been playing LFS) that the devs should include a server-side option for a fixed setup, to be imposed on all drivers on the server. NR2003 had this option and it produced some of the best races I ever had with that game.

DWB knows We've done this running FOX on the oval for some great racing. The server-side option for a fixed setup would be the way to enforce the setups, if it would / could ever be implemented. With the only options to adjust are steering, brake force and fuel load.

I'll be there tonight.

looks like to me the lug nuts gave up from the studs, he likely used the wrong size lug nuts (threads).

EDIT ... or with some wheels you need a lug nut with a sleeve that fits in the lug hole, Using a nut with no sleeve won't grab enough thread.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

man, u guys know NOTHGING and cant understand

they get squeezed on the EXIT if they STAY on the outside of u whilst u are passing
on the ENTRY the aim is to make sure they see you so they dont turn in

When i get overtaken, when sum1 is on the inside, i know im beaten and i drop back behind them at the apex, and try to get them back
LFSers try and go round the outside which just wastes time and is poor race craft.

theres no point in continuing with this convo because people who dont race CANT understand

So..... If I'm battleing you for position, last turn - last lap. I dive to the inside and have the line, I WIN, cause you know you're beat and will just give up.

RIGHT?

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

its hard to explain, but if someone were to stay on your outside u run them off the track after the apex of the turn

in real life, EVERYONE knows not to try and go round the outside once someone is alongside. i tried it a few weeks ago and i went off!!

HU? You're either so slow someone can pass you on the outside OR you're passing on the inside. You know there's another car there either way.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

its ahrd to explain, but imagine lobbing the car up the inside and totally commiting yourself, meaning u WILL run to the outside of the track on the exit, if someone is there then physics means that u will force them off.

And if you know someone is there you just run them off, drive like you own the track cause you commited to the turn??? STUPID, never heard of that in any form of racing.

Quote from Blackout :

Not again, I'm sure that has been posted here already?

First time I've seen this one..

delete post if it's been here

Waste your time on this... http://dagobah.biz/flash/The_Impossible_Quiz.swf

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

They are probably trying to sort out the server. I think it would be a better idea to have one class of cars, it looks silly mixing BF1s with LX4s and UF1s

+1

need a field of GTR's or mix GTR's and UFR - XFR would get a 32 grid with diff skins

private? or just until time for the photo shoot?

"Wait ... wait ... Oh no ... this drivers suit is to tight"

Good to hear in english now. And now talking live to the drivers via teamspeek... nice work I say

works fine here.

I don't know if they do that the whole race. I thought I remember seeing another video where they did, but this is the only one I could find right now.

This one

Some ppl are just fast typers, I can only get out a few words durring a race other than what's bound to the chat keys. Also depends on the car/track combo too... UF1 on the oval I ussualy go make a sandwich durring the conversation

I have nothing to add.



well maybe + 0.25 or so, Good idea.

A true driver ranking system would be nice but I don’t think you can base it on what you have there, good attempt, but not right. There are too many variables, car/track/race length/# of opponents/opponent skills/etc-etc. As been said, some ppl just go roundie round for hours on end racing against stupid AI or alone just to boost their LFSW rankings, means nothing of their skills.

If you look at LFSW stats you will find a comprehensive record of every race that every driver has ever been in since mid 2003, it’s all there if you really want to try and decipher it into a real ranking system.

Keep at it, I don’t think anyone has seriously given it a go.
