Quote from niels1 :

Well you made the render so you should know how long it took .

was this render with the V1 or V2 kit ? It looks like you used the V1 kit. If so the render couldnt take that long. In V2 it could depending on your CPU speed.

btw : Nice first render, well done. I would change the background I guess, doesnt really match the car and lighting. But good try

yeah i know about the background image i just took one fast on google

thx and yes it was v1 kit but i was doing my first one on the v2 kit and it was wrote this time lol in 1680/1024 i have a quadcore 2.4 Q6600 i dont think its so bad lol but i lost my render due to windows update -_-

i have a question can i render while working on something else or i cant minimize the render process ?

first render

http://www.lfs-host.com/render.bmp

sorry for bmp but i use it as wallpaper

time:01:02:40:54 hope that dsnt mean 1day 2h 40 min 54 second

Quote from Ca18Slider :

Flippy, just curious. Why do you suggest that it's only Fast and the Furious that made drifting popular? It's been done for ages, and it was a rallying technique to get the right corner entry... and in Japan it was done to block and take tight corners quicker than they could by inducing oversteer.

Now given, it wasn't used for flashiness in a race, but it was likely a nice crowd pleaser. So for the sake of it all, can we all shaddup now?

he said FnF tokyo drift cuz some young ppls know drift by this movie

Quote from desmosedici800 :

i just can't stand it.... LFS is serious sim and somebody said chase view should be forced
... pathetic.. does Hamilton,Raikkonen,Massa and others use their car like little remote toy cars(chase,custom) or actualy they are sitting in a car(cockpit)? imo in races cockpit should be forced. always... and as default, it should be as real as it can get
chase and custom view in races.... serioulsy how can u claim you are fast using this views like in toy games not pro sim, this isn't even close to simulation using it.. and it does give you advantage

i understand your points but it would be a bad idea
cuz for some, the chase view is usefull ... i mean a young man who never drove a car will not know the dimention of the car and would not drive that good with the cockpit view

yes it would be more serious with fcv but i think its good to have other view and lets player use the one he want

i think if a server put fcv its beacause he want a "hardcore Server"
to get the most realistic driving

for me there is no view faster than another you just aclematize view to view

Quote from BAMBO :

As you all know the drifting community has never been appreciated by the LFS community because some don't consider it a motor sport and others because your average LFS drifter is a teenager that has just seen Tokyo Drift and thinks that he knows everything there is about drifting thus acting like a moron leaving others a bad impression about this interesting motor sport. Some consider that all you need is a car able to loose grip and a heavy right foot but like any other motor sport , drifting requires a driver that has not just sharp responses but also a driver that has finesse and talent because anyone can drift but only a true professional and a dedicated driver can do a harmonious drift that gives it it’s beauty. To understand why someone can’t compare it to another motor sport, we shall need to look it from another point of view. Let’s find a sport that is similar to some of the motor sports we have today. Dragsters would be the sprint runners, trying to go as fast as they can in a short distance. Le Mans drivers would be the endurance runners trying to finish a very long race. The drifter would be the figure skaters ,not showing speed but beauty. Returning to cars we can say that usually any other motor sport is about going to A to B as fast as you can while drifting is to go from A to B in the most beautiful way you can go in a car. By that analysis I determined that drifting is literally and metaphorically speaking in another league, comparing drifting to any other motor sport is like comparing hockey to figure skating or dog fighting to plane acrobatics and remember never judge a sport by a driver, judge it by it’s beauty and purpose.

PS: I am not a drifter, I just wanted to make this things clear because I am open-minded to any motor sport and I wanted to share it with you hoping that it may change the way some of you think about this noble motor sport that deserves as much respect as any other motor sport

i just can say one thing:

YOU GOT IT

finally someone who know something about drifting and accept it

and the one who said : if you hate drift hate it
yeah your able to hate it but some ppl are like able to complain about drift

he dont want to completly change your mind but just show you what is drift

bambo i knw its not a lot but i give you all of my respect

Quote from teedot :

WILL YOU ALL JUST STFU?
You all look like a bunch of immature twats arguing about crap like this... seriously.

where you see imaturity ? its just arguing about thing into lfs ??? if your think you wont talk about this then just dont come here to tell us to stfu .. this is immmature ...

Quote from danowat :

No, being able to drift in LFS is an offshoot from the racing side of it being so good.

FTR, I don't accept drifting as a motorsport, like I don't accept ballet is a sport, and I have never understood cruising.......

if you dont accept drifting as a motorsport its beacause you must know what is a motorsport

drag
drift
race
stunt
rally
and more ...
you cant decide if this or that is a motorosport or not

Quote from petercollins :

Nice attitude there

They may not have control, but they should. It's off-putting when a newcomer logs on to see a glut of cruise servers for what is a top-class racing sim.

so you think they should do another masterserver with another exec as another games only for cruisers ??? you know that removing insim possibyllity will kill some nice comnunity ...???? cruising server is more than only an hour of work

and i forgot something does street racing can exist in a race sim ?

Quote from danowat :

Which is why there is a cruise server filter on find server screen.



How do you propose that the developers stop people providing cruise and drift servers?



Also, you are looking at it all a bit negatively, LFS's primary focus is racing, because that side of it is so good, drift/cruise/sandbox whatever is an off shoot from that.



I have NEVER seen any improvements / additions to LFS that pander to the sandbox side of the sim, everything that has been added has been for the racing side of the sim.

Drifting is an off shoot from that ??? does a Drift server need something special like cruising ??? no not realy only driving skilz

Quote from petercollins :

with drift and cruise servers

again ... again ... again ... and yes again !
why evryone complain about drift and cruise server .....
this game can offer us some real car driving simulation ... some like to get chased by a cop in a game and not in real life

and drifting is a motorsport like other

in your mind its like they should do ...
live for speed I(race sim)
"" "" II(drift sim)
and why not live for speed III(cruise sim)

nvm when someone start a toppic about what lfs should do there is always a points against drifting and cruising

Quote from STROBE :

Every frikkin topic here fails these days, especially if there's something worth discussing. Not referring to this topic specifically, but it seems it's impossible to discuss anything of value without being snowed under by the volume of idiotic comments and worthless spam, usually from n00bs or freeloaders (i.e. permanent demo players), or the ten year old cRuIsErS, or other people that dispense make-believe as solid fact whether it be in relation to LFS development, PC advice, real cars, the list goes on.



This topic has already received 10 replies, and not one of them is to do with the subject at hand.



So, on topic: Yes, it is time for LFS to focus. The abuse of LFS to go drifting and cruising probably does tarnish it's name and reputation as a "serious" race sim, especially when it already suffers from a lack of respect from rival sim-racing communities due to the fictitious cars.



How? A realistic damage model would, surely, refocus LFS on what it's all about - racing, in any form or format. I'm talking real-life realism and tolerances to damage - you smash the radiator, your race is over unless you can get back to the pits almost straight away. LFS would benefit greatly from what I call "race procedural" improvements - making race procedures happen without the need for a willing coder to make use of insim. Things like rolling starts, safety car, qualifying and racing happening at pre-determined hours, more realistic on-track marshalling, and so on.



None of us know for sure what Scawen has planned for the next patch, but this kind of hard-core stuff that helps with the racing immersion is something that would help refocus LFS.

you fail for me ... you saw a race sim without drifting ... drift is real like race is real why you want to just remove drifters ... how does the game would like ... you will grip on the track like in need for speed ???? this is ridiculous ... removing drifters is impossible nvm ...

after all of this i think lfs shouldnt focus why ?
1: its still an alpha and they still have a lot of time to work on REAL important thing not like ban all drifters/cruisers (that would be immature anyway)
2: there is a lot of ppl who paid for this game not only for racing
3: if they focus on only one thing what would like the rest ??? like impressive car but bad graphik ... yeah its just a stupid exemple but you see my points

thats all

Quote from Inouva :

Give me 600u$s ,and i buy a wheel for play Lfs



Seriuly , think before posting

seriously learn the price of a wheel before say something stupid -_- (g25 : around 300-350$)
-------------------------------------------------

i dont know why ppl vote to remove the mouse from lfs ...
a lot of driver(like me) use it
i dont have money for a wheel cuz im going to buy a car...
if you think mouse is faster then ... use it if you think wheel is better ... use it
if you cant beat a mouse driver ... practice more ...

this topic is quite useless

nvm its what i think

Quote from nesrulz :

@ ATC Quicksilver

Geladric, who is a great driver with the mouse, recieved two wheels as a present from our teammates, first a Logitech Vibration (which is crap) and then he got a MOMO, yes, a MOMO and he doesn't use it! He's slower with the wheel and that's the reason he doesn't use it, so don't give me that preach talk please...

he is slower cuz he didnt practiced enought with it

Quote from Dajmin :

They're racers, yes, but not drivers.

I think the main reasons they can be faster is firstly because they have no FFB fighting against them, so they can accurately hold the car on a curve. And secondly, they have the steering gauge to help them always know where to hold the cursor in order to take the curve at the best possible angle.

It makes me wonder how well the mouse drivers would do if that steering gauge was removed.

duh :P i dont use the sterring gauge :P i cant i have to keep my eyes on the road i just put the connection list to see the cursor in the screen :P
i have a wheel too but i just can turn 90degree each side soo its crap -_-
at this point i prefer to use the mouse

does he want to restart lfs-torque or ...

lol it will be hard to drift the straight at all :P

sorrry if some of you are disapointed about this bumping threat :P

Quote from Zen321 :

A bit disappointed by the vid though ^^



I thought he would drift the Ring all along

ill try to try this right AT ALL but its not sure :P

hey if someone can help me to get contact with the founder of lfs-torque or an admin of

its for a proposition about webhost (if they still want to run lfs-torque)

thx, lfs-d staff

yeah he certainly talk about mine (youtube usr : prodrifter123123)

yeah but if they put it for drift they should put it for race and drag race ...

its not requesting attraction

its about all i read and i want to know why racers say a lot of shit if you think its not about you just keep quiet ...

useless post ? i prefer to use some cutted word like "ppl" beacause im realy bad in english and i hate to do some error

peaple cant be mature and just say please take care about your writing manner ???

why ppl hate drifters
i see a lot of post where we can see "i hate drifters and freeroam"
so ... why the devs put a "cruise" mode for server ?
why we can see "drift" as a team tag into lfsworld ?

i dont want to see some talkshit here i just want to know why ppl acting like that with us ? its useless and they lose a lot of time for nothing ...

soo give your oppinion thx

sam

there is my two old set for xrt (based on mouse and work great on wheel)

showdrift is on knob skillz is needed if you want to drift it corectly and get the best angle and keep it but great for long drift in kyoto ring :P

thx

Quote from zeugnimod :

The most logical answer would be "stage" but I don't think the devs have confirmed it anywhere.

kk thx :P

lol i always want to know what the "s" mean in s1/s2 ?
