ok thanks for answering my question...i asked if it will eat up fps. i only guessed at the software part. Nevertheless, its another peripheral that needs to be running at the same time as LFS. So i ask again, will having a wheel lower fps. Even if the answer is 2 fps i would still like to know. THanks

I'm thinking about getting a wheel. My question is, does it lower fps during gameplay? I figured that having the software running in the background would eat up fps. I already get just enough to play enjoyably so i'm not sure if i should compromise the fps for a wheel.

lol i know it sounds funny but i'm serious..my friend told me he read about it in the paper. I'm asking the Aussie's if its true or not.

I heard that Australia is trying a new method to reduce speeding. They are saying that males speed to compensate for their small penis size. I don't know if this is true or not. My friend read it in the paper. He said that there are billboards using this method. Quite funny in my opinion.

i would imagine if we had speed cameras the situation would be the same..fortunately (or unfortunately) we don't

where i live, it is expected that you drive at 10 mph over the speed limit. Town limit is 30 and 98% of drivers do 40 mph. No one gets pulled over at this speed. ...the cops do 40 too.

Eh...no.

The race doesnt restart automatically.

this is true.

Race starts when the majority of people or an admin restarts the race...

or when the qualifying time is up

I said digital TACHOMETER not speedometer, which we already have. (BTW, don't forget the new Honda Civic also has a digital speedo ).

the s2000 does have a digital tachometer. You might not call it digital though. Instead of a needle that points to a number, bars of light light up over the numbers on the tach.

wait...a drifting server that will be operating for 24 hours straight? oh god no

the formula 15gr = (mph)^2 can be used to determine the highest speed at which a corner can be taken. The g is the traction limit for a particular tire on a particular road surface (which can usually be very easy to find given REAL LIFE tires and such). R is the radius of the circle that your car takes the path of through the turn.

What you can do is, find the radius of the BIGGEST circle you can make in a turn, figure out the grip of your car (might be difficult since LFS uses imaginary cars, not manufactured, factory produced ones). Plug those 2 numbers in and you have the FASTEST speed at which you can take the corner without losing traction. Do this for every corner and you should have a rough estimate of how long it would take to lap a circuit.

Calculating straights is self explanatory.


you would never be able to figure out THE fastest lap time but you can absolutely come up with an estimate, plus or minus maybe 1 or 2 seconds of the fast lap.

I guess its hard to understand how much "stuff" they are actually working on/fixing.

^^^^ lmfao best one so far

Are you even READING MY POST?

Pivot on the TWO FRONT WHEELS. THE ONES WITH THE GRIP.

The car obviously won't pivot over something with zero grip.

Cripes :P

WOW. I am COMPLETELY sorry. I definitely did not read your first post correctly. I apologize for my stupidity. (and yes, it makes sense now)

how can the car pivot around wheels that have no grip. Think about it, if you make a pivot in basketball, you turn on the foot that is PLANTED to the ground.

It wouldn't make sense if the car pivoted on wheels that had no grip...

How do i build a website?

Just build up the pixels on top of the layer you created. Very similar to building a skyscraper on a foundation.

Quote from BrandonAGr :

Any other people experience the snap spin if you drop one of the rear wheels off at the exit of a turn in the f1 or other open wheel cars?

Yes that happens to me sometimes. Does anyone care to explain to me why this happens? I am just curious as to what causes it.
