Quote from Bob Smith :

OK thanks. There was no need to translate my name though. Boba Smithe, lol.

All in all looking good, I don't know Czech so I can't really comment for it's accuracy but it's quite different to MadmanCZ's version so I can see you've been at work.

I think I'm gonna have to make the whole application window a little bigger so I can spread things out a bit, otherwise it's going to get too cramped. I'm going to wait until the other languages are ready though so I don't have to repeat myself.

Cheers.

hehe, i understand that your name sounds funny this way , but in our language we change all the names... and females get a +ova to the end of their surname, so be glad you're a man

Translated almost everything (except imperial units) and made what was translated sound more czech

please NO turbo in the LX8, it would possibly make it almost undriveable! I agree that a race version would be nice. But not make it out of the LX6 but add it.. the LX6 is a blast on KY nat versus the FZ50 and RAC! You get overtaken on the oval part, but take it back on the inside part of the track.
So leave the LX6 as it is now and add a LX6-R with slicks...

One sentence to sum a lot what was written here:

First learn to drive your car and stay in control at all times, racing will then come by itself.

Quote from FM-Failure :

This guy is weird...
First i got a message from him inquiring how i am able to drive 100 km within 5 minutes. I tried to answer him asking where he gathered that information from but the system just said user not found. A few days later he sends me another msg telling me in a rude way that i am sick and need to get a life. Obviously he was refering to my LFS addiction and the statistics for this month.
Now he sits on his own locked server with his friend wusel on a 1 Lap race, currently getting a win on the monthly stats every other minute. I assume just to pi.. me off and to prove his point of being the best LFS player? With people like him the monthly stats are pretty useless.
Try to access his online race statistics and you shall see that this user cannot be found - what is he hiding? His glorious 1 lap wins?
That doesnt sound like a fair player, does it??

just ignore him, he's not even worth the few keystrokes to write this msg...

I'll do the czech version tommorow at work should there be noone faster that is

could be that i'm a alien rwd fool, but I love the lx6! Not many of us out there, but I have met a few online

Quote from colcob :

I dunno, Renku isnt doing too bad. He's an average of 0.7 over benchmark accross all 744 laps. Which is not bad going at all really. He's also got 11 world records, so it obviously just a matter of time before he gets that figure down.

The other guy obviously needs to get a life though. He's an average of 7.4 seconds per lap over benchmark. I'm sure how its even possible to be that slow, even if you only drove a couple of laps at each track.

:doh: oh I only glanced at the times and saw eighty something and didn't search for Renku's details on lfsw...

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

On a side note/idea would it be possible to have a nutter/vehicle LFS rank (MHR is only 18 which is good)
It would be a greatway to see all the nutters in they car they love, all nice and neat.

There are per car ranks also... Just click on the desired car and you can see the chart

Quote from three_jump :

1 Renku +8:20.810 744
2 robnewman +91:15.650 744

imo nothing to be proud of... they just run one lap of each combo just to have 1st and 2nd place... the handicap tells that their times are pretty bad...

Congrats Scawen Eric and Victor! Excellent job done and I'm sure more is going to come!

Quote from CharlieP :

Theres a nice idea for us noobs....

A track guide, showing overtaking points, best lines etc.....

A nice jpeg would suit

Anyone of the 'good people' up for that ? aliens or otherwise

just use the AnalyzeForSpeed tool to see your line and a reference line (i.e. WR)

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I don't think they should be counted if they lose the connection right before the finish line. What if IRL a car was in first before the finishline, and then spun out due to transmission problems? They would be DNF for not finishing!

IRL its done based on the last completed lap, so>
If a car is on the first positon and does not finish the last lap, but has lapped someone during the race, then he is in front of these cars on the final positions list... (he did 25 laps but on the final (26th lap) he crashed, the ones who were lapped did 25 laps only and saw the chequered flag, so the leader did those 25 laps faster then the lapped racers did)
This does not happen in LFS. I run the 1st Czech LFS League and I have to go through the replays and manually check these situations... (it happened several times already)...

and btw. how long did you play other games? I paid 24 pounds for S2 and I'm enjoying this great game about 2,5 years now and I'm sure more years will come
Other games cost more and the time spent with them does not come anywhere near the time with LFS (usually a month compared to over 2 years). I speak of these 24 pounds as the best spent money on entertainment in my life....

Well I guess the "problem" now is, that there are not many reviews in magazines, web, tv, because S2 is still alpha... I think (hope) we will see more reviews and thus more players when S2 full comes...

And on topic: banning other devices is not the way to go, imo all other control methods are harder than the wheel so there is no point banning them...

I totally agree with what Vain and thisnameistaken said...
I would say that driving in the pack towards T1 is the hardest thing to learn in LFS. You have to be aware if there is space infront and behind you as well on the sides. We have met yesterday on Aston club with UFR/XFR and I saw you had problems with driving in the pack after the start. With the slow starts > with fwd just floor it just before the green comes a the start will be fine (a little "bug" in lfs)... Then when coming to T1 ease of a bit from the gas and brake earlier (starting with a tap on the brake, so the guy behind you know you are about to brake (because of inevitable lag in multiplayer, he sees your brake lights light up, when you are already under full braking for a small moment, so there is no way he could react in time), if you see that you started braking too early, let the brake go for just a moment. And avoid any quick left/right manouvers, because you are very likely going to hit someone...

I think you'll get it right soon. Don't get driven away by some nervous people who try to ban you... It also helps to annonunce that you are new to LFS and people will excuse a lot of your actions, because they will know it was not intentional...

i think you can, but you can't set fuel lower than you have in your tank... then the pitstop continues idefinately...

i don't have any other online experience than LFS, but imho it's a problem in any online game... people learn a few tracks/maps and play those and don't bother to learn any other... the only solution is to join a league...

one little hint on studying WR's always watch from the same view you use while driving! One guy asked me how could he learn something from watching WR's and after I talked to him a bit, it came out he was watching them from the TV camera :doh:

press f12 and you will see exact % of how much fuel you have left...

Quote from Cool Eithen :

i hate it when you tell people about live for speed, and they say something like, "o ya, you mean need for speed" grr. . . lol has that happened to any of you? just curious

every time I speak to someone who has not heard about LFS... :doh:

Quote from vrooom :

like you crashed.. then car is upside down. you press a key, the car roll over instead of resetting back on track with no damage.

i understand some server has that option on but it would be cool for offline games.

not some server, but online it works everytime this way... the only way to repair your car is to stop at the pits or jump into your garage...

every change is saved upon garage exit or clicking another setup...
and i think its a good idea what you suggested...

good idea to have the option not to add fuel...
and the same with the tyres ... happened to me once that they only changed the rear left tyre in the pits... :doh:

Quote from Nick_ll :

You think? It happened to me at least once that I was racing with R3s and then toawrds the end of the race I had to pit and changed to R2s. The R2s (I believe I was driving the XRR) were already green at like 5 degrees below optimal temp when I left the pits.....

this is a known bug...

so a minor bug in the czech language, the big letter E with wedge can not be written, small one works...
