What happened was at around midnight, Hammond was about to be lapped by 2 cars going down Hangar Straight. They went wither side of him and he moved over to line up for the corner and hit the front of a Mosler and I assume that turned the car towards the wall. They ended up with a puncture and spent a while repairing it, but got back into the race. I think they finished 3rd in their class.

Harjun, if you really go to "the 4th best school in the whole of england", you should at least be able to use correct punctuation and spelling. Or do you need an educational video?

I remember this being suggested a while ago, and I think it got some support. If we can't have this track, how about a fictional one based on it?

Doesn't stop it being an accident.

This saga of 'overclocking -> being told not to -> completely cocking up' is epic.

He probably searched for "precipitation" or something.

Demo users don't have a dragstrip. If you mean the back straight at Blackwood, then you can't add lights to it.

A fix doesn't exist at the moment, but I assume Scawen is working on it.

Quote :3) Tell us why LFS is the best or most realistic sim

It's easily the most realistic sim in terms of feel. As mentioned earlier, the force feedback is incredible. It's the only sim, apart from NR2003 or maybe GPL, where you can think the car is actually on the track. It's kind of hard to explain, but in most other 'sims' the car feels like it's floating or gliding over the track. In LFS, it's like they are in one big environment, and I'm sure that's down to the amazing tyre physics. Realism isn't just having bits fall off the cars or having the Nurburgring, it's about feeling like a real car, and this is the best effort at realism in the sim racing world.

As for being the best sim, I think that's down to the community. With things like the STCC, where you're guaranteed to get a race at any time of the day, it's easy to just pick up and play. With 3 classes of racing, all very different styles, and tiered servers, there's something for everyone. It'll get even better, I'm sure, when 'Phase 2' comes in. Then there should be even more variety in the tracks.
I think the fact that the developers are a part of the community themselves is what really puts LFS above the rest. I had the pleasure of actually racing with Scawen during the X Patch tests, and that's something you'd never see anywhere else. The three devs make the community a part of the creation of the sim, allowing them to give feedback on the forum and suggest additions to make the sim better. Can you think of another sim where the creators listen to the customers?

All you have to do is send your skin to the other people and tell them to put it in their skins_x folder. Unless that doesn't work any more.

Quote from Lible :So, what can you do with that "virtual money"? Buy a virtual car?

You can buy a virtual car, which if you went to another server you could drive anyway.

Delete the data/dds folder in your LFS directory. The files in there control transparency.

Winning (1969)

I caught the end of this film once and it had the Indy 500 from 1969, and some great camera angles.

Just use the wireframe that exists on LFS cars, it's in the Master Skinnerz pro-kits.

I once lost a race because my cat jumped on my crotch with her claws out. She likes LFS too and wandered round on my desk watching a rallycross race.

I seem to remember that near Castle Donnington there's a roundabout with 16 sets of traffic lights. And there was a story in the news a few months ago about a roundabout which had 'No Entry' signs on all the exit roads.

I guess you could use my version, that would be OK.
