Yup. Seems feasible too...
How bad could you make an engine sound anyway ? There's a challenge...

Your question should be "how hard can it be to make a good one?", then take a look at the engine sound sharing thread... *shudders*

So you posted in the testpatch-section..? I find your lack of intelligence disturbing. Same goes for severall other members/posts after the last cleaning...

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

At the least point me in the right way then instead of only mocking on me please...

Yeah, shame on you VoiD, you know it's hard to find the dastardly hidden and uber-secret LfS Hosts Forum, especially when it disguises itself with "a section for discussing LFS-host related topics, such as administration tips and tricks / administration tools / technical problems" right under it...

So... does it work? I don't really want to go through the hassle to give them my data if I don't get a code anyway...

Quote from richo :

Payment=expectation of service or goods.

LFS is a business , a different type of business model but a business none the less.

A very lucky business that gets to work from home, doing something they enjoy and making a kick arse product that people are begging for more of.

Except that in this case, you have to consider that the business does the same as the private life: moving... From that view, it makes perfect sense "the tools are laid down"...

And since you seem to like the comparison to companies and their daily business, think about that: the business itself is and was running without pause - just the R&D department took some time off, which isn't exactly unheard of...

Looks like an elephant sat on the front squishing it...

Blinking or turning the lights on to intimidate people you're racing... Fake pass attempts and generally being at someone's bottom to force him into a mistake is obviously fine...

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

That's racing, you do everything you can to gain an advantage. I will have to race against you sometime, you will hate me.

And yet in pretty much all series, it is strictly forbidden to do that...

I'm sorry to add yet more unnecessary OT to this thread, but this I have to say...

Quote from XTREMEPOWER :

Majod thats right we are a demo racer and we are probably a customer i hope u get it. unfortunately things are going so slow and it scares me as a potential customer .

Come on, don't come here with pseudo-intelligent talk about you being a potential customer... Even when you recognize you haven't shelled out anything and therefore are not a real customer, your arguments make it obvious that you never had the intention of becoming one, so spare us the excuses...

I dare you to prove me wrong though...

Quote from [DUcK] :

Fair enough mate, but that wasn't really what I was getting at. I was just saying that if you haven't tried the setup you have on LFS, in real life in the exact same conditions etc etc, then how do we know if they are realistic or not? Who knows, you might get some oversteer on a FWD at the exit of a corner with a LFS setup in your Suzuki Swift or whatever

You'd have to find a material with infinite stiffness first... No chassis flex is one of the reasons the inner wheel can be lifted...

For the last time this series...

Was clean from my perspective... The pass was a result of the slipstream (Nolan was tucked in behind your exhaust even before the corner) and you making him room on the inside... Your own fault for not defending...

Quote from Jonesy_ :

I'm just wondering what is actually that wrong with the setups, that makes them so unrealistic as some ppl here say.

I'd like to see one of these unrealistic with physics flaws taken advantage from setups everyone seems to be on.

I mean, I'm not mechanic, and barely understand the basics of making a setup, so I'm just asking what is so wrong with the 'fast sets'?

The majority of setups is locked diff... With the wheelbase of every car except maybe the MRT, you shouldn't be able to do a turn in the car - yet not only does it turn the car faster, it also propels it out of the corner faster as there is no torque loss due to diff action...

I too think the physics are the root cause of the unrealistic setups, not the other way round... Adjusting the heat/traction curve, as well as the longitudinal slip/traction curve and/or force combining I think would make many of those unrealistic setups disappear...

Last year, in the ALMS race on the redesigned Lime Rock pretty much everybody cut the chicane where the West Bend was before... Just as an example that it can happen, but if the stewards are strict you WILL get a penalty...

Anyway, there are 2 things which are wrong in LfS:
1. People consider rumblestrips and run-offs are part of the track, which they are not, and
2. The rumblestrips themselves are ridiculously oversized - I've seen only a handful IN THE WHOLE WORLD wide enough to park a whole car on them, yet you can do that easily on a vast majority of them in LfS... The only track where the size is about right is Fern Bay - but those are way to steep...

Yeah, one of our commentators got quite worked up about that... It was basically the same thing as just before halftime, and that was overturned to an incomplete pass after review... Anyway, the Cardinals lost the game because of their penalties... They lost an entire field length with those stupid actions...

They couldn't have made the second half any more exciting if they'd scripted it...

I'm quite amused that on the one side, people cry out for more communication from the devs, and on the other hand when they actually do use that opportunity to shoot them down...

If Scawen just said: "have problems with computer, will take time to sort out", or just didn't say anything at all, there wouldn't have been any problem whatsoever...

Do people really want the devs to take a step from the community, to have every bit of communication handled by a proxy like with nK?

Bad qualifying, and had to go out against niall... Mistakes throughout the lap, and we came out the last corner literally head to head... One hundreth of a second eliminated me then by a pass-to-win...

Server and pass Info???

Sorry I didn´t find any info about that.

Yeah, me neither...

Just a slight change in line-up: G.Haiderer and R.Karner will swap places, so roster looks as follows:

Quote from andRo. :

Hi,

Have the passwords been sent already? Because, I didn't get a PM with a pass. I'm just asking, because I want to train a bit for today's event, and it's boring to train alone. So I wanted to go and train in your server.

Apparently no, I haven't received the password as well...

I've capped my framerate, it's still not the number I set in the options, but I don't really care... What I noticed is the FPS being much more stable, and if they indeed slow down, it's much more linear than with XP...

Quote from McDee :

Not you, I was refering to the "noob" and "6 y/o with ADD" comments. Is it hard to imagine that a somewhat smart, normalish, mildly imature older guy could get bored with LFS?

Who said those comments were aimed at you personally? Feeling guilty?
