Yes, this would be crucial for the single player mode, but the single player mode isn't crucial for LFS

So, definitely needs improvement, but I don't think it's a priority. Personally I prefer offline racing to online racing, but I accept the fact that it isn't what LFS is supposed to be about.

Mkinnov, people who lack the ability to drive the BF1 adequately, much less race it properly, should practice somewhere else than in online races. Also, being a newbie and being new to BF1 are very different things.

Yep.. and you can drive it pretty freely with the TC set to 10% - you can even do some low-angle powerslides with it. I am yet to try whether it works independently on each rear wheel, so that with an open diff it could keep both tires on the very limit.

I'll give you a honk and a smile if I see you online

You should have probably posted this in the beginner forum.

The haze effect produces a slight fog, more noticeable in cloudy conditions. I'm not sure which rubber buildup you mean - you can disable the skidmarks by setting "Disable rubber: All" in the graphics options, and you can disable the more "general" rubber buildup by setting "Update path: off" in the misc options.

Your processor is too slow.

Too bad we cannot disable driver and steering wheel when making our custom in car views. It really sucks.

Those are some big words coming from you. :up:

To my understanding, you can get TC in pretty much any modern car from the factory. Certainly on a car like the FXO Turbo.

And even if it isn't often used in racing situations, it would still be neat to see how it works on FWD cars etc

Hopefully someone will make a LFStweak-esque program which you could use to experiment with TC offline on any car. For one, I'd like to compare tyre wear and lap times for the XFR with and without TC.

Quote from GaryArm :

My God people are never happy!

I mean really, is it such a big problem? The Dev team have spent God knows how long creating a super patch, updating game physics, and even adding a whole new car!! Yet some people are still not happy!

(Not a dig at you, by the way, just a general observation I've made)

Could you please tell us how long we are supposed to wait until giving constructive criticism about a new patch? A week? A month? Perhaps never?

Quote from speedfreak227 :

when you said, "Free Start only, settings are something i cant live without..."

i'm going to assume you meant CAN when i cast my vote

How very strange of you to assume that.

Quote from afastest :

TC minimum speed in settings?

Indeed, it is adjustable from 5m/s to 20m/s - or from 18km/h to 72km/h.

I must admit, LFS feels quite realistic now. I was kind of suprised though - as much as I liked it, I went back to playing Oblivion in less than 10 minutes

Quote from Quietus :

We have "the countdown" now

It changed from 3 to 2 days to go

I hope that was a joke :P

As it says at www.liveforspeed.net, "While we finish the patch, we will post some info and a picture or two about a new feature or update, each day."

Am I blind or didn't they post anything today? Does anyone know why?

Shouldn't these threads be in the off-topic forum, if anywhere?

Quote from ussbeethoven :

Sorry, but I didn't like virtual mirrors because the don't look realistic.

The MRT is based on a real car, so slapping bigger mirrors on it wouldn't be realistic either. Not that you would see the oncoming traffic from your mirrors anyway

Quote from neo force KP61 :

agreed illepall illepall anyone who doesnt appreciate it is not a fan of motor racing

I can prove you wrong. I am such a person.

I don't know what shexy means - I'm guessing it's a ricer term?

I'll probably keep playing Oblivion :P

Quote from racemania :

the writing in the bottom corner says


F1BMW**

cant get the last 2 letters but its defintly F1BMW

I think it says nunomaia. Well, that's what I thought it would say until I zoomed in, so maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see.

Um, who posted it? What was the context?

Now that you mention it, I've barely touched LFS since the release of S2 alpha so it might be my experiences are from the S1 era. Perhaps it doesn't work anymore like it used to.

Quote from Fordman :

I don't know why, but ghosting doesn't include the LFS signature, nor GTR or HL2 for that matter, so something is going a miss here

OK. I still don't quite know what this "ghosting" is, but personally I duplicate the partition with Partition Magic and it works. I haven't touched HL2 or GTR so I don't know about those.

Quote from Fordman :

Nope been there done that

But as they say above ( I usually format and rebuild every 6months ) so unlocking is really no hard ship

Hmm.. maybe I have the wrong idea about ghosting. Anyway, I have three partititions - C has Windows, D has LFS and the third is a backup partition of a clean Windows installation. Whenever I need to reinstall, I just copy the backup partition over C and LFS still works after that - cannot see why it shouldn't...
