LFS is a POS. Who the hell would be stupid enough to waste their money on this game that looks and sounds like it was made 10 years ago by a couple of scammers who have been promising updates that never come?

Quote from IsaacPrice :

They didnt race today, because the car wasnt fun to drive.

hehe. just noticed. Huttu will win the championship anyways. He doens't have too.

Quote from PMD9409 :

The top 4 drivers in the road DWC refuse to race due to the F1 car being that broken.

oops.

I wish I knew what wheel you guys are using. All this "the car feels great" stuff I just don't understand. The ffb in iracing is nothing more than a bump detector.

Quote from Sobis :

And what did iR fanbois said?

"Show me a sim that doesn't have flaws". That's what they basically say. Dollar for fun/physics, iRacing is the worst deal in sim racing IMO. They've been around for five years? Update every 13 weeks and this is what they have. LOL. I'll cut my losses at around $500 and walk out the door. It's pretty pathetic how these cars drive and how much money iRacing charges. Call me SUCKER!

"It amazes me to think that people actually STILL believe throttle braking, and the way it works in iRacing is just "the way it is" lol. I have never had to do it in other sims (rFactor,LFS,NKP) in such a ridiculous way. When I get on the brakes in a real car I actually have time to react to the weight transfer and position the car accordingly, instead of having this weird instant change in direction that is unnatural and unpredictable. I don't like having to react to little twitches and changes in the cars direction, because no real car is like that at all. Driving a real car fast is fluid and smooth, not twitchy and unpredictable. I will say this again, and I'm sure people with no experience will tell me I'm wrong, but I don't feel like the cars have enough inertia..they just shouldn't move as quickly as they do.

I do not like throttle braking at all, but it's the only way i can get a somewhat natural feel for the car under braking to where I can confidently brake late and deep. Atleast in some of the lighter cars.


It has nothing to do with the diff or whatever, it's just the way the car reacts too quickly. Why is this???? I know other drivers who have raced in real life can relate, so why is this such a mystery? Why is it that whenever you are going into a spin you can just lock up the brakes and the car will instantly snap straight? Mass much?"



I've always felt iracings weight transfer was exaggerated but I'm no expert. More wrong over there than just the tire model in my opinion. I'm just happy that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Yep. A sim racer and a real life racer speaks here.


I love it how the fanboys just ignore the post.

For some reason we cant get the replay to show. Here's my qual lap (1.03.366) with the same combo. Hope it helps.

Well you're kicking my arse through the bus stop, carousel and the left hander that's foresure. I wonder if me using autoblip and clutch costs me much time? My line is pretty darn close to yours.

Thanks guys!

Can someone tell me if my inputs are o.k? Everybody is just so much damn faster than me I might just go back to racing AI. I dont' want to spend any more money on iracing if I suck pretty bad. Replay is riley and watkins with 13 gallons of fuel. Thanks.

I haven't been paying attention to how I've been coming off the brake to be honest. I will try to be more conscious of that. Thanks and thanks for not flaming. I'd get hammered over at iracing for questioning their physics over there.

maybe I just suck really bad though.

Quote from The Moose :

In what way?

The Skippy, (a car i slagged off completely not that many posts ago with last seasons tyres) Is far, far nicer to drive now. It's back to being the fun car it always used to be.


Overall i'm very pleased with the progress in this build. C6R,DP,Ford GT, Williams and Skippy are all very good now. The Radical still needs a bit of work, but should be great next season i would think.

The NTM still doesn't feel as natural and instinctive to drive as netKar, but it has taken a massive step forward this build. I had just about given up on iRacing, but this build has brought me right back into it.

First off I'm not fast, actually not even close to being fast


Well going into turn one if I coast I lose the rear end, if I trail brake I still lose the rear end. I would think that a "training" car you should be able to coast into a turn like that?

Turn 1 at mid ohio with the skip barber proves that that thing is a piece of crap.

Quote from carfetish :

This NTM is going to let iRacing go viral http://www.nogripracing.com/fo ... =1527127&postcount=48

Now LFS and nkPro have a lot of work to do, physics-wise. (rF2, on the other hand, seems never having even made a serious effort in tire modeling).

I still think iracings new tire model is behind rF2 and netkar in "feel". I'm having fun with the daytona prototype though.

Quote from anttt69 :

Careful about speaking your mind in the iR forums. Apparently opinions dont just get a warning. I was handed a straight ban for my thoughts?

Can anyone see where i upset someone?, Nim refuses to comment on which post over stepped the mark.

A ban from the forums or iracing? I know about speaking your mind in the iR forums. There was a guy who made a post hinting that the race steward could be biased and got a one month suspension from the forum. It seems like insulting people is cool(i couldn't care less about that anyways) but you can't say the "wrong" thing about iracing.

Has anybody tried the Star Mazda? I'm trying to like this car and everybody says it's great but I'm not getting that feeling at all. Car feels very sluggish with my steering inputs.


Actually to me it feels like they just tweaked the old tire model and killed the FFB. I'm no expert though. The corvette is definitely and improvement as I can actually drive it now without crashing almost immediately.

no update notes, no schedule and looks as though the update isn't coming until next monday. :gnasher:

Quote from MAGGOT :

Alright, fine, if you're going to twist my arm I'll give it a try.

I really hope it's as good as you say it is, because LFS has no 60s GP cars and pCARS's physics just aren't there yet. I wanna drive me a deathtrap and feel the terror that I should!

The sense of speed in the F1 60s car at spa put a smile on my face.

Quote from baSh0r :

Why the hell would you want to?

Raining under the bridge?

I suggest you read Gjon's post before buying. FYI I'm not regretting getting this at all. Like I said before it has tonnes of potential. If you're looking for Dirt3 graphics you're probably going to be disappointed. For me they are good enough.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Might want to rename this thread to include rf2. How many are getting the beta?

I got it. It's definitely a beta but if you understand that rF2 is going to be around for many years to come it is worth getting. I haven't tested every car/track combo yet but I'm loving the drying line, weather etc. Rain at spa is really cool because some parts of the track it's raining and others the sun is poking out. This has TONNES of potential.

I've only played around with it a bit. Still alot to go through. Looks like a rF2 night and a late one at that. lol.

Enough previews, reviews, screenshots and videos. Wake me up when it's released.

Why would they add more road cars when it seems like alot of road series already have a tough time getting splits? Alot of series I have a tough time finding a race!. Weird.

Looks like Kunos has some help now.

I'm not stalking anyone. Just really interested in this project.
