I'm surprised you say you know only one or two people that you can race with cleanly. I on the other hand have been racing on these servers for two weeks today and know a hole bunch. I find there are more clean racers or at least people trying to be clean. You have to remember racing is racing and even the cleanest of drivers make mistakes and will wreck someone. I for one think I'm an extremly clean racer and I have wrecked many peoples races.
I also think the general population on the STCC servers are extremly helpful with tips and setup help. If you really want to do schooling on the server I do have one idea actually. Maybe some of the higher licenced driver or even some of the STCC league racers could come down to the lower servers and watch some races give tips and setups every now and then. Maybe a guest a week on a certain day.
Their doesn't seem to be enough info for me while racing. There is a list of position and a trackmap that tells you if a car is ahead or behind. I'm new to LFS so maybe theirs an option I missed but I would like to see two colors added to the track map.
White: +1 lap or more ahead
Yellow: Same lap ahead
Green: You
Orange: Same lap behind
Red: +1 lap or more behind
A simple solution to get more info about what is going on around you.
Your going to love the G25. I just got mine 5 days ago and I can't believe how good it is. That's saying a lot since this wheel is replacing my old TSW2.
Yeah I experienced the horn thing last night. Some guy was behind me, maybe slightly faster but we were racing for position and he kept honking at me. I wasn't blocking, just racing clean. He eventually rammed me into a wall.
Anyways I've been on the servers for 2 days now and I am enjoying it quite a bit, even though there seems to be way to much carnage from turn one and on.
Thanks for your hard work Scawen. I have two features I would like to see.
I have an old TSW(gameport) and when I shift I get that microsecond double click that makes it change more than one gear at a time. In rFactor they were able to fix it by adding some sort of delay. Would it be possible to add a slider that makes the game ignore two quick shifts. Something in miliseconds.
Second. Maybe it's just me but I haven't figured out how to rewind replays. If this still isn't in game would love to see this feature. If it's already in can someone tell me which button it is.
First off great vid. Also the only racing vid was great too. I have never heard of Muse before but I really dug that song. I looked them up and now I just got back from buying two of thier albums.
I haven't forgoten about NorthOntario(R3). That had lots to do with the limitations of sandbox. Then work/ real life got in the way. I'm so surprised you guys all remember this stuff.
Ouch, never thought anyone would buy a game because of me. Hope you enjoy rFactor without the track all the same. Me and rFactor have parted ways and it will take a miracle for me to back to it. But I did hear a buddy of mine say he was thinking of porting Roadone...so theres a small chance still. I've even publicly given permision on rFactor forums to convert any of my old tracks. Maybe someone will pick it up as a project one day. Thanks for the nice complement.
Great to know my track was used for such projects. Whats a shame is the lack of "promised" support from ISI with track building. They really dropped the ball on this one. With that said all the projects I have in mind are just waiting for the proper platform. rFactor wasn't it unfortunatly. Personally I hope when LFS is final and they open the doors for modding, the support and instruction will be good enough. Could you imaging flying around Roadone or two with one of those GTR or open wheel cars in LFS.
Sup Maggot, yeah I love LFS. Well I do now. I first bought it when S2 came about. Tried it out and thought it was really nice. But I was having shifter problems with my TSW which keeped me from really enjoying it. So it's been on my computer collecting dust since then. Got into rFactor but after trying NKpro I could never get the feel back in rF. I came to the realisation that rFactor physics just...well sucked. But NKpro has way to many bugs still. So I was left wondering what to play. I remembered LFS came out with a recent patch and thought I would dust it off and give it a go. Man can't believe I ever played anything else. LFS is the shit and it's still considered alpha. Don't think LFSworld was around either when I first tried it. I think it's leaps and bounds above the competition in terms of physics and features. Works sucks atm! It has slacked a little but now I keep myself busy with photography. Specificaly gokart racing photos. How's the mod coming?
