hi folks - thanks for all the replys.
Been practising till my eyes go funny and making some progress - was stalled around the 43sec mark, but then acquired a good setup and am down to 42.5 which is enough to be up at the sharp end in races (assuming I can get through T1 without being wiped out!)
Still can't see where the extra second would come from to get to the 41.5 that some people can do, but I'm sure as hell going to try!
This game is simply the most stunning and addictive racer I've ever played - not bad for a load of 1s and 0s!!!
See you online soon!
Cheers,
Ali

Hi folks,

After experimenting with most of the cars and tracks I've decided on SO Classic with the Formula XR as my favourite. Despite tons of practice I can't get below 43.5 secs, which although respectable is a second or more off some people's times. I've tried borrowing setups and tinkering with my own, but can't find a winning formula.

In short, what are the best setup tweaks for this track - I've tried low and high downforce, but having driven onboard with others, they all seem to take the final fast corner in 5th at about 105mph(kph?) and carry the speed all the way down to the finishing line - no matter what I try I always end up dropping down under 100mph and I think this is where I am losing time. Either that or I go way to fast and pile into the barriers! My best split time is a fraction over 24sec.

If you know this track well, I'd welcome your advice!

Cheers,

Ali

thanks guys - will give it a try tonight!

Hi folks, fairly new to LFS and slowly mastering a stunning game and getting competitive in races (SO CLASSIC) my favourite.

I beleive it is possible to program functions and messages to keys, ideally on my wheel but if not on the keyboard. I'd like to bind the horn to one of my wheel buttons, plus a couple of messages to say thanks, sorry, out the way, etc, etc.

I'va had a look in the options menu but couldn't see anything obvious - can anyone send me some step-by-step instructions?

Thanks,

Ali
