does anybody know why when I press "join" firefox do not let me go to the server??

Because you need to install "Join2LFS"

I'm dead chuffed with my uber pro phlos-spotting.

Quote from XtremDriver :

If you talk about cones, I have a lot of replays with people hitting cones

It's called lag and it happens often when you do a fast lap as I done, because you drive very close to cones

So driving very close to the cones causes more lag? How exactly does that work?

If you are 1 km away from the cone, it will be hard (impossible ?) to hit it even with a big lag ...
If you are 0.1 cm close to it, a tiny lag can easily put it down even if on your computer you didn't hit it

If you can't understand this, I am sorry

Is that why you prefer not to drive around the cones? Because you're too fast for the rules?

It all makes sense now. :rolleyes:

What are you talking about ?

I don't mean distract from the Phlos-hunt, but I have a question: Is there a place to download the layout without joining one of the servers?

u shy?

If your French Connection (geddit?) isn't good enough to drive near cones, then don't drive near them

How about a SPR of a fast lap? Something without lag will help get an idea of wheel movements etc. Be damned if I can dodge cones that fast!

Thx .

Now, go get him, guys! I would join, but I can't find my muckrake right now...

Post a SPR of you doing that 0.1 cm cone dodging, it will also be nice to see how do you steer and use the throttle and brake.

"Continuous breaching of rules 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 may result in you being banned from the competition hosts for an indefinite period of time or even disqualification from the competition entirely. This will be decided by the competition organisation and cannot be refuted once a decision has been made."

It doesn't worth to prove anything now.
But if Victor say here my time will be put back if I send a good time on a SPR replay, I will do it.

Hello,
I think we all are Happy,when Bawbag post his Setup here!
Please

Bawbag sent me his setup on Sunday and it was bloody awful. It certainly doesn't give any magic grip from anywhere. The oddest part was the clutch pack preload value up at 570 or something like that.

Or...he gave you a bogus set.

Well he sent it to me after he'd stuffed up his run so I assume it was the one he'd been using. Besides, Scotland's not that big and not that far away, he wouldn't be silly enough to send me a bogus set.

Quote from Blackout :

Funny how when I send out setups to people but they run much slower times the setup is "bogus".

Anyway, i've changed a couple of things since I sent it to you Kev, para steer has been turned right down and more rear brakes.

Think of it what you want, but i'm just sick of people demanding online that I waste my run to send them a setup, instead they can come here.

I wouldn't say the set was magical or has any secret to it, it does what I want it to do, so don't complain when you dislike it.

Yeah I had lowered the parallel steer on it, but I'd also totally screwed up the dampers due to being thick.

I wasn't "complaining", I was just trying to say it's not a magic bullet and the diff looks a bit nuts. It was nice to see some of the settings were similar to what I'd been working towards though (starting from Bob's set as a base), so that was reassuring. The main thing for me was that the diff settings didn't suit me at all but I always seem to be more fussy about the diff than any other setting on the car.

I was quite surprised that I didn't like it though because I've got an LX6 set you sent me a few months back that I use on loads of tracks, whereas some people's setups I just never like (*cough*kyDave).

yeah setups aren't the magic answer, they're just a tool. Yes it's nice to have a good setup, but then all the speed comes from what's between the ears.

Now here's a question that I'm must not be using the right search terms to find any signs of an answer for:

last night I spent some time offline working on my setup, and was easily doing low 10s. So, thinking I was all cool and everything, I went online, and the car just felt greasy and was almost a second slower. Does LFS have different grip levels or something depending on which of the 3 weather conditions are selected? I just want to make sure my offline conditions are the same so I can make a setup properly.

Bawbag's setup!

miam miam... time to go and practice

Maybe with this i'll be in the top 200

Was just joking, couldn't say that Kev can't drive as it would have been naughty from me.

I'm no alien but I'd been trotting round doing 1:16s all day and then when I got annoyed and started paying attention I suddenly got 1:13s, here's the two (obvious, but I wasn't doing them until I concentrated on doing them) things that made me faster:

1) Looking at each turn in a slalom one at a time, rather than as a single row of cones, and concentrating on placing the car just behind the nearest cone rather than just driving towards it and then turning when I got there. Basically making each turn as early as possible.

2) Trying harder to make the straight sections longer and hammering it as early as possible, and creeping more throttle on for the last couple of turns in a slalom to get a faster exit to make the most of the straight section after it (#1 helps with this).

Common sense I know but for slow people like me it needs drilling in!

Where's your time, big man?

Well...umm, eh. It kinda, well...I try it properly at Thursday when I have a day off from work, but I'm surprised I get even near you Mr. LX4 specialist.
