Quote from shotglass :

difference is you dont have to take your foot off or bother with anything else that makes cornering challenging

Quote from ajp71 :

Most importantly the public servers are shockingly badly managed with all kind of ridiculous rules, far too many bans and an overdose of LFS Lapper

Knowledge based on hearsay is useless. :shhh:

since this floorless stupid little castle looks pretty difficult he did quite a good job there Also enjoyed the commentary alot

+1

suicide mario ftw

:headbang:RACING FOR LIFE

@ Ice: looks dirty We need this for LFS fo shizzle!

@Harry: everybody get's busted once :P

Quote from Motordirex :

Heres an opinion.

Stock cars...whatever. The V8 Supercars can be considered stock cars and Id drive those.

-1 billion for ovals...for talentless hacks with A.D.D. If I want to watch a mindless idiot goes in circles, I`ll watch my stupid dog chase his tail.

recently on the oval....

+1 for oval's no matter what kind of but i'd prefer something like daytona or talladega
+1 for stockcars

In some way i have to agree on both sides, there has been alot of suggestions made in the past about this "combo", track or vehicle type and i bet some people gets annoyed by it. But why the spam? Because there's obviously a urgent need for such things. Im not saying that i support the spam in any way but lets just put it this way, LFS is most likely the first game which successfully put all those "racing styles" together and made it actually amazingly enjoyable, rally, drag & drift included, some people even create "free rooms" like C&R, CLC et cetera (forgive me if i forgot something) + the potential is still & by far unexhausted.
Well some other games did something simular already in some way or other but from my point of view, LFS is by far the best example that it actually works and a simulator can have all kinds of styles combined together without loosing its identity or authenticity.

Now the only problem is the community or some members of it. From what i have noticed in the past, alot of people here, besides those who are very polite, friendly & open for everything new or different, have got a lack of tolerance, tend to generalize things or simple spread wrong informations based on hearsay. Besides, since this is a "international forum", many language barriers can appear which is also a reason people should start "reading between the lines" and not judge every comment too serious, as long as its not insulting in any way. Also, after reading some very strange comments here and there, i do not understand why some people think they can have a influence on something very important, the decision of the developers on what kind of content will be added/ removed/ altered. Maybe there's a very small chance to do so but some people really try to decided in advance as like they are the developers themselves. This is at least for me, far more annoying then the "suggestion spam" and in the end, everybody except ScaViEr will have to wait and see what the next step will be. Bearing in mind that every patch was always a great step forward, i dont expect anything else & different for the future

Almost forgot to say something on-topic, im sure that this unique sound system will also be improved and i think it is by far not what it actually should be. Its already very complex and sounds more and more natural and since LFS is still alpha as far as i know, this is already a great preview for what we can probably expect in near future. And just in case, if this is already what it actually should be i think i just have to edit the car sounds i dislike by now a bit more. But to add a negative note as well, i agree with my mate Mr.Popps that the BF1 for now does not sound very realistic or like the "bee in a tin can". I at least couldn't find any preset or adjust it the way that it does.

Cheers

was a demo player for more then a year myself and had the same thoughts, like more cars and at least 1 more track. But after getting the licence, i was convinced that the way the devs selected the demo content is the right way. You get a preview which is in fact pretty small but if you like this already then you'll love the full game!

Its totally worth the effort & money. And now get a licence!

Quote from Jakg :

how exactly does the Oval prepare you for racing? you use a different setup which COMPLETELY changes the handling, and you race the BF1 around a track which is flat out - even if your immense at it circuit racing WILL be different

...and we only race the oval....well researched. Im sure you dont know how oval prepares for racing -> "for a curcuit track". Because its also racing, thats why. About your comment regarding the setup, i dont get your point. Every track needs a decent setup, thats a fact, oval not excluded. About the difference for oval and curcuit tracks, i can see only two, curcuits are slower in gerneral and have some right handed turns.

Maybe ill try one of those curcuits....sounds interesting

Btw, since this is off-topic, i apologize & it also was my last reply here.

Cheers

Quote from LFSn00b :

Umm... Just randomly placed barriers.

218 laps on the oval with the BF1, thats why it is just "random" for you. What you see is a layout which basically forces you to use a line which is, proofed by many persons, the best in order to get a good lap time.

Quote from red_wing_2121 :

Besides, oval sets do not tend to vary much, barring the bump set of course.

hmm, i rly wonder why...

On Topic, i really like the new layout. At first, it was a bit strange to concentrate on the line itself but i got used to it quicker then i thought. On thing i have missed is that you could open the entry and exit of turn three so one could be able to do a fast lap. You know what im talking about :P

I just watched your replay and i got this message (watch picture), so i did a quick run my self and uploaded the replay until yours is fixed. Maybe its just because we use different versions? Im on W10 right now.


Cheers mate

Quote from Dalek0220 :

These drivers MUST be experinced, and not oval junkies

And where's the evidence that we are not experienced? I love those prejudices, really. (not)

Anyway, good luck & have fun.

yeah, true anyhow, it was just an idea

cheers

would it be possible to have a little field for every setup which contains:

created by: (field will be filled when the "new setup" function is used)
last edited by: last user edited the setup
moddified in total: how money times it has been moddified by every user

So you always know something more about the setup you are using.

Cheers

Quote from deathracer1923 :

im running 0.5Q....what would 0.5Q have to do with 0.3H??

Besides what the_angry_angel said, 0.5Q is S2 while 0.3H is S1.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

If anyone can provide me with patch Q, I dont mind doing it.

They're all compatible. If I remember correctly H6 or H4 was the first release with skidmarks, other than that I honestly cant remember

What I meant was if you don't use a patched version, you won't beable to join games hosted by patched versions. Otherwise there's no problems If you already had S1 unlocked it should remain unlocked

Ok thanks for that and here's the source for LFS 0.5P and the Patch Q.

http://www.gamershell.com/search/index.html?q=LIve+for+Speed


TIA

very nice, i was hoping for something like that, thanks alot. I have got a question regarding to this topic. Im having S2 Q installed as well and since this was the last one before the big physics update i would like to ask if a patch for this version would be possible as well?
Ok, maybe another question if you dont mind? Are there any major differences between H, H4 and H6? Im still and for ages at just H so im not sure about that.

Sorry, its a bit early and i dont rly get this (damn language barriers):

Quote from taa :

The downside is that the original copy of 0.3H is incompatible - which means anyone with an existing unlocked S1 version is a bit stuffed unless they want to run the patched version

so i unlocked S1 before the change of the master server adress and its my very old S1 version from Jan04, do i have any problems now, when patched with one of your files, in my case H ?



Cheers

did you visited some c&r servers recently?

Quote from ajp71 :

Best place to look:

wrong, this is by far the best place to look (for tracks):

http://www.raceservers.net/Software_Downloads.htm

nvm then, just delete the spam

Hello there, i have a small suggestion, would it be possible to make a undo & a reset button for the interface menu where you can edit the text colour, button opacity et cetera? Maybe even a preset menu/ option?
Cheers

Quote from MoodyB :

Thanks

Done all that, apart from installing AMD's optimizer, as plenty of people have had issues with it. I seemed to have solved the freezing here by turning off VSync, but we'll see.

( BTW, not sure what effect this would have in LFS when using VSync, but I have the DirectX ' render frames ahead ' value set to 1 instead of the default of 3 )

Youre welcome, i dont have any problems with the AMD optimizer so far and never heared of anyone ever had some but heck i dont know everybody so you might be right =) Besides, which kind of monitor do you have? In case you have a CRT, V-SYNC is useless in most of all cases anyway as far as i know.

cheers

Quote from MoodyB :

Similar things happening here since patch v4/5

When racing / testing online or offline LFS will lock up after 5-30min, sound loops the last 1-2 secs over and over, then after 15-30 secs it can unfreeze itself and I can carry on racing, although my car is not in the same position it was when the gfx / sound froze - it's further along the track stopped / pranged against a wall as though LFS was running as normal in the background but the gfx / sound weren't updating themselves. On a few occasions the sound has carried on playing as normal ( I can hear other cars passing / braking around me ) but I can't bring up Windows task manager, the screen refuses to update itself and I need to reset the pc.

This is with Vsync turned on ( tried with it off, same problems ) and fps limited to 85 ( my monitors refresh rate@1600x1200 )

Pc spec :

A64 X2 4200
Gainward 7900GS ( no AA or AF ) Forceware 91.47
2x1GB Pc3200
X-Fi XtremeMusic
Logitech DFP
WinXP

Tested this with the above spec at stock settings, and overclocked. Pc was definately not overheating when LFS locked up, and I'm running nothing like MSN / Messenger in the background, just the usual WinXP services and Blueyonders' PCGuard software ( firewall )

After reading yours and some other peoples replies i have noticed you and probably the others too have got a AMD dual processor. Maybe there is the problem but i may be wrong. Im curious if you guys have done any of the steps explained here in order to install the processor properly. In case you follow those steps, please let me know if theres any difference after it. I already did everything and im not having any problems at all with the newest patches. But as already said, it could be the reason but i might be wrong.

Good luck & cheers

Quote from Scawen :

If you want extra quiet wind volumes for oval use (where I think in real life the wind sound must be quite loud) then you can adjust it per car with the SHIFT+A editor.

Yeah, i already set those sliders to a minimum as well, that was the first thing i have checked Speaking about it i think there would be a solution for me but i dont have the technical backround informations or simple the reason why its not possible to reduce those sliders to 0.0 instead of 0.5. Maybe something like 0.2 would be perfect for me. (Besides, i agree that in real life it would be quite loud, but in that case i could use some ear protection like ear muffs to reduce those sounds )

Sorry if this sounds like im moaning and i do not demand anything at all but/and i think i can imagine how difficult it can be to make it right for every single person especially for something like the sound system which will be tested at on or a few more pc's with perfect and pretty much the same results but it can sounds totally different at another system and its configuration. A good example are the engine presets, most people come along with the new standard engine sound settings, they fits not only perfect to the personalized windows & game volume settings but also to the output systems such as headphones. For people like me, who are probably in the minority, i doesn't fit at all, so we have to adjust, if we like it or not. Btw, i have set the volume in windows to 50% which gives me the best result at almost every app & game.

Cheers

That is one old ass dog...

That was pretty funny. It's pretty sad that some ignorant people still really feel that way. illepall

they will probably never get it. I always wonder how they can be that stupid and be able to ignore the history. It makes no sense at all. Also its very strange, on the one side its so funny to hear their generalized and unfounded arguments but on the other side its really scary how human beeing can get such paranoid & retarted. illepall
