In addition I'm not a huge fan of the new patch. Tyre heating is way off what it should be in my opinion and the slow gear change on the FZR has sucked all the fun out of my favourite car. I don't understand why gear change timing was slowed to help balance the FZR against the rest of the GTR's. Doesn't make sense to me, there are other, better ways of achieving balance.

I don't agree with you. Before patch Y you could use the softest tyre compound in a race on any car that's equipped with slicks. R2 and R1 tyres are quali tyres and not for race use. I like FZR even better than before because the gearbox, it's more interesting to drive (if you have the right equipment).

I made a simple vehicle, just import it to a scene (I recommend the Tower scene) and use arrow keys to drive it.

You can donate money easily, just transfer some money to your LFS account, but that won't speed up development.

Quote from koreanbro :

the new bmw f1 added has a glitch i think

i tryed with with g25 and it does shift fine with paddle shifters upto 3rd gear but after that,

i have to let go of the gas to shift up

It's not a glitch, this is how it works in real life.

The cars you get when you buy an S2 license are here: http://www.lfs.net/?page=contents

There are NO real life cars and you CANNOT add any cars.

EDIT: I suggest you read everything on that site, it will answer many questions.

There ARE RL cars in LFS: MRT5, Raceabout, BMW Sauber, Formula BMW FB02.

Currently my desktop looks like this.

Quote from scania :

Modify car system is not easy to make in LFS, but I hope that LFS can have some already tuned car.

e.g. XRT with 2.0 Turbo, body kit, booster....etc

I don't know exactly what do you mean but IMHO XRT is the "tuned" version of XRG and XRR is the "tuned" version of XRT.

Quote from Dygear :

Anyone else using this? I must say that in the first 3 minutes of me using this, I do really like the new interface, but it seems to be slower then the current stable release. I can only hope that changes over time. And for some reason it takes FOREVER to close tabs, some times requiring two hits on the X button for that tab.

It's slower a little here too but I have Fasterfox installed on Firefox 2 so maybe that is why it's faster than FF3 beta3.

I made a little FFB test program, it's pretty simple right now (made in 5 mins or less), if I have a little more free time I'll make something better.
Edit: I forgot that at the moment it only works if Spring effect is at 100% in the control panel.

Why is money an issue? If you love the sport you should be willing to sacrifice everything else you hold dear for it. I'm far from rich, but I will be willing to sacrifice nice clothes, shoes, colone, concert tickets, and other useless and trivial things in order to get all the high quality racing gear I want

OT:
There are people who can't sacrifice nice clothes, shoes etc. because they don't have money for them. I know people who would love to have a car or a good equipment to use with sims but they have barely enough money to pay electricity.
/OT

I think the Porsche wheel will be a great competitor for the G25, I may consider buying one later.

Quote from Riders Motion :

I was looking at my stats today, and even tho I am the 'owner' of Slide-FX on LFS World and I can edit it, it doesn't show the tag next to my name on LFSW. How do I fix that?

Add yourself to the team.

Quote from JO53PHS :

NFS Most Wanted is what you need

OT:
Nooo, you need Need for Speed 4: High Stakes, that game was quality. The newer NFS games shouldn' be called Need for Speed they just aren't good enough, IMHO.

I get InSim Relay connection failed : Error #2048.

Quote from afastrunner :

As for CTRA I have been on the last few nights a bit earlyer and it's been plenty busy. Though on South City Clasic Rev i'm running 1:02s with just default HARD TRACK (side note my race_s is bugged and has that ghost passanger I just read about)... with most of the field running 1:00 flat-ish i'm way back... I'm sure a lot of it is setup since the other cars just seem to pull away on the straits more than through the corners... it's also doesn't help that the last 2 nights online is my first time in the XRF (think that's right)

oh and married.. nope..

Bob Smith made a little app that removes the ghost passanger:

Premiere pro 2.0, working for 4 month now...not a single error...

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3 for about 6 month now and I have encountered some pretty annoying bugs and errors but despite that I prefer Premiere.

Hi!

My computer is similar to yours (AMD A64 3000+, 1GB RAM, Ati Radeon 9800 Pro). I made this simple video few feeks ago to test my computers ability to record LFS movies with sound: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=625604
I used 4x or 6x AA (sorry, I don't remember ), 16x AF, max LOD, 848x480 resolution (16bit) and recorded at half speed in LFS at 25 FPS then set playback speed to 200% in Premiere. I don't know why but VLC doesn't play files created with FRAPS so I always watch them in WMP or in Premiere. Today I tried a replay with a huge grid and it helped a lot when I shut down all other programs. And giving higher priority to LFS and FRAPS might help too. I didn't get high FPS in my last test with max graphics settings but the sound was OK so with lower settings it would be alright I think.

Quote from AeroMechanical :

I use all views as well, though TV view mostly unless I'm interested in a particular incident.

Is it possible to define presets for the custom view? I like some variations on the custom view, such as a 70's car chase style camera on the running board looking forward past the front wheel, but it would be great if I could define a few custom views and then flip between them.
