The curbs just stop you cutting....

I am talking about on the exit from the chicane where you clip the kerb,it must be in bounds to have to have been accepted in hotlaps
its still a step in the right direction though
bish

as i have said before graphically an excellent job but those kerbs are horrible and pretty much ruin blackwood
With over 50.000 laps on the old blackwood alone i cant see myself adjusting, if the historic blackwood was 100% original then it would not be to bad

graphically its a nice improvement but i know that many regular fbm drivers will not like the big wedge of a kerb on the chicane.
Huge difference in lap times due to it

Very informative video MicroSpecV. Nice control on that last corner
Would you mind if i share the video on our forum (Mrc). Full credits to you will be given

thanks - MRc bish

Il download and seed all i can for as long as possible to help.

Pretty much considering 99% of demo servers are either stupid arab tweak servers or kids who can't race and ram everyone. Demo servers are utter sh!t now, nothing like they used to be

I can guarantee you that not all demo servers are as bad as you make them out to be. Yeah you may get racers who have the intention to go and crash but a good admin eventually learns what to look out for and prevent it from happening and if there is admin present all you do is report them on the servers forums.

I know many good demo racers who race clean and fair on our servers and continue to do so because we do our best to keep crashers out

Quote from Sylvie20 :

On June 26th I was having a great time racing sprints at Blackwood in a Formula BMW. I believe I ended up in third in one of those races with my best lap time of 1:18.

I still can't believe this happened but I suffered a minor heart attack after that last sprint. I always had a bad valve in my heart that the doctors were monitoring for many years though no one guessed or suspected I was also suffering from coronary disease as it is rare to have both conditions. Surprise, surprise. I ended up undergoing open heart surgery having a triple bypass and valve repair. I was extremely lucky as it could have been a lot worse.

You wouldn't believe the laughter from the EMT's and other medical professionals after I told them my story. They all wanted to know whether I won or not though I indicated I needed to improve a couple of seconds on each lap to compete at that level.

After my rehab period I would like to return to racing as I enjoy it so much. Not sure when that will be as it's not up to me. Just completing one of those sprints without causing any mishaps and having lap times around 1:18 would be an accomplishment. Till then...

hope you have a speedy and full recovery,take care

Quote from MysticReverie :

I want to say that I think this game should be used a a template for any other games in development.
For a few reasons:

The graphics are so smooth. Yes, they are not the same detail as say Project Cars, but they look absolutely fine, they really do. This is due to the way they have been implemented I guess. Great looking, bright sky, with everything else just Very clear and functional. The anti aliasing works well too. The Frame rates I'm able to achieve with maxed out settings is incredible. I've also heard great praise for this game for its Oculus Rift support - also a famously smooth experience, so people with limited power computer may even be able to enjoy the experience too.
So, that's lesson one - Brilliantly optimized graphics.

Lesson two would be the incredibly good interface. So many options available and all pretty easy to navigate.
The graphics settings can be changed ON THE FLY, which is just GREAT. So many other games require you to restart the game even if you change just one setting - this makes the whole tweaking process very cumbersome.


I've also had no problems at all getting online and into a race pretty fast.
The skin modding process is so easy, even I can do it !
The game feels quite relaxing and enjoyable when driving around too - a nice atmosphere.

So, there are a few other lessons.

Anyway, sorry if this sounds too much like a review - I just wanted to add my comments on this excellent game.

I had the demo game for a while, and very recently upgraded to S3.

Great game.

the online multiplayer system is one of the strong points for sure, as well as the whole graphical interface, welcome to lfs and look forward to racing sometime hopefully

Quote from lfsrm :

Cmon lets dont become a bunch of apologists, yea the game is smooth and all ( from a 13 year old engin running on modern pc what more do you expect ? ), but don't tell me RB4/FZ5/UF1 etc interiors are the finest details in gaming industry or Aston is a realistic track, LFS deserve a way better representation because of the solid base!

Fanboyism will not fill up the server lists or make the game more attractive.

fanboyism may not fill servers but such comments that constantly put lfs down would only make them emptier. Great graphics should never become more important that physics in a racing sim so little things like interiors are not important and as for real tracks yeah they would be great if added but not essential

would it not then do it on all installations of windows 10 or is it only on certain builds. I am running windows 10 pro x64 ver 1511 and have lfs and programs such as ccleaner installed

there was a patch after 1511 which may of contained a fix for the bug hence why i have not suffered such a problem

thank you

do you have any anti-virus software that has a sandbox feature such as comodo internet security suite ? if so it could be installing it into sandbox which then would be gone afterwards.
If not then its certainly a strange case, i have had no such problems on windows 10

good luck

Quote from Racer X NZ :

After the magical fairy provided a review copy of this, it's been asked not to bother again.

We have enough pointless shock jocks here for me not to listen too without me bothering about Radio 2's waste of space.

Matt was actually good, perhaps get rid of the git and keep him on as he wasn't too bad.

Also, Perhaps not recycling old Top Gear scripts, Seen it before !!!! Maybe they can't afford a script writer with what they are paying the git.

And we now make pc racist jokes....
"Evans had brought along the staff from his local curry house – apparently solely so that he could say 'we don't talk about catering on the show any more'.

Seriously, get rid of the git, try some new scripts, and it may well work.

Perhaps.......

ATM, a step up from Top Gear USA, but with a git......

Meanwhile, Here's Sabine on 5th Gear, think about this compared to the git.

was having a good read until you somehow decided that saying ""Evans had brought along the staff from his local curry" is pc racism. it may be racist to say any sentence as such is offensive in any shape or form

thanks bro

thanks needed these due a fresh install of lfs

vob mods are not allowed in in game nor links posted in the forum

ps3 gamepad is so much better for control ect in lfs and is easy to setup using motionjoy, just grab the offline version, ive driven nearly 100.000 laps using one and even now il use one instead of my g27 for fbm bl1

Quote from Bmxtwins :

RacerX, maybe you need a geography lesson. The Golam heights is the location of intersecting borders of 5 countries: Palestine (disputed), Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan.

Christ. Before you criticize my post get your shit right. ps: those maps are very good, but doesn't show the last 6 years of land grabs. Wonder if any numbers or maps exist of that.

Golam height borders:

you must wait so he can find something to copy and paste for his reply just as everything he post is

blackwood fbm is one of the current combo's which is mostly used and many are happy with being able to drive that all the time and have no incentive to buy a licence which I agree does not help with progress ect of lfs
I know many that would rather buy a license if it meant after a period of time them losing stats due to a time limit being in place
I know it might not be fair on all as it must be remembered that some users are younger children or in other circumstances that mean they cannot pay

looks amazing. looking forward to the release. thanks

Quote from 1303s_vortech :

One word: Pebcak

From someone who used to fix computers, it's weird to not get it...

fixing these can be quite easy

what part of "only tested with" do you not understand, you obviously have no idea how wheels/controllers are detected and work on a pc, as long as your pc recognises it as a wheel/controller then it will in game. Sometimes and with some wheels it may be only be detected as a xbox360 controller (thrustmaster Ferrari 458+ 458 cockpit for example)

If you read the post on the Logitech forum explaining this it states that some games will not have a DEFAULT profile for the wheel and means you would have to set the wheel yourself so wont be "out of the box" playable meaning you may need to make a custom wheel profile in game

"When users install their wheels on the PC they will install Logitech Gaming Software which provides a fully functional driver for Windows. When developers include devices like G920 and G29 in their game to work out of the box, this is called a default profile. This should not be confused with profiles in Logitech Gaming Software. This default profile is integrated by the developer and is not related to the Windows driver for the wheels. This developer supported default profile allows the game to see the wheel and assign the appropriate keys and axis values to work well with the game out of the box without user configuration"
(source - http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Logitech-G-Controllers/G29-G920-Profiles-Information/td-p/1491562)

example of how you have to setup if no default profile
http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/assetto-corsa-logitech-formula-force-ex-settings.80811/


I would assume that those having problems are expecting "out of the box" gameplay and could be unsure how to create a custom wheel profile in game.

The seleced games are games that have a default profile so you can basically plug it in and drive(out of the box)

The list of games are only a list of games they have tested with the wheel but you will also notice it states that it will work with any games that support Logitech force feedback wheels.

Also if you look the list it names more pc games than xbox games and finally I struggle to find where it says "limited" but will also add my eyesight is not what it used to be so please enlighten

bish

EDIT : If you mean where they state it works with selected titles then it they can only claim it works with them due to only having tested with them so need cover there own backs
Also they are saying that older games do not have default profiles for the wheel(use out of the box) but that does not stop you from using the wheel and it may mean you have to set it up as a custom wheel for now
