Wot the bluddy hell is the "LFS Object suggest" movie about? It's doing my freakin head in!

Woohoo!!!

+1 million

Ummmm, all you arcade wannabe's, heads up, but just to let you know, LFS is heading in the same direction it has been since day one of its inception. This is what LFS was created for. It hasn't wavered and has continued to improve. Sorry to say, but as more realistic features are added, it's gonna get more difficult to drive, just like it is in real life!

stfu u stupid american it is true this patch is so f****cked up

Seriously mate, you make me ashamed to have a Australian flag next to your name. Please get banned.

You've gotta love squidheads critical appraisals of videos dont you?

I just read each thread to see if he's replied, I dont even watch half the movies! LOL.

Oh My God.
At first I thought, "hey, he's gotten so desperate he's ripping off BashTV!"

Good work, now go get a haircut and clean your room you grot!

If I remember correctly, I read something about it on either BH Motorsports or Race Sim Central, looked interesting, downloaded the demo and was hooked ever since. This was just before S1 went final (about patch E i think was my first version). I got my S2 licence the day S2 went beta!

"predictive steering"!!! made it "easy" for us back-then keyboard drivers. I think that was dumped at about Patch G or H or something, it actually made me lose interest for a while (but then right back into it with the updated tyre physics).

the tree at blackwood chicane

there was no carpark

the different pitlane at blackwood with the little "rest area" after the pit exit

added a d/l link of the original file in the original post.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Brilliant! Made my day to be honest.

Oh, by the way... where's Bash TV? I was looking forward to another episode!

Well I could say where's Ep.8 of The Blame Game?? Hmmmmmmmm???

A new episode will commence production shortly, just gotta pick the race out of the few replays I have stored. I have lots of ideas, but I have forgotten most of them already!! (I should write them down I think).

I was going to use a waltz track for this, but I didn't have one on the PC, and I couldn't be stuffed going to search for one!

OK, for all you hard at work AI testers, here is a little break for you. Just a quick minute out of your lives, have a bit of a laugh. Just a quick vid on the shortlived draglane bug.

I call it - The Dance of the UF1000

A video of the short lived bug where AI drivers would do some strange things on the drag strip. Synchronised dancing!

NEW D/L link:b http://www.mediafire.com/?b4memmxgxxd (40mb)

I'll put it elsewhere if people want it.

Nothing fancy, but pretty amusing!

Hey cool, thanks for the heads up Scawen.

Would be awesome to test out some new super-duper-hyper game and give some feedback knowing I will be doing it for the greater good..........*cough*.



P.S. No. 1!

Quote from Matt0snap :

Uh....No you can't.... The only place that you can use the racing line ( hit 4 on keyboard) is in singleplayer... You can't use it when hotlapping or online...

You playing the right game? Of course you can use it online. As to its use when trying to pick your way through 20-30 other cars, well, thats another story

AI also has no idea how to look after their clutch. If it happens to heat up, they will continue to mash the accelerator until the clutch melts.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Heh, I've been there, just swap "missus" for "mum" and "hands waving about" for "enthusiastic head-tilting".

"Head tilting"???????? WTF?

Quote :

You can see them. Press ctrl shift to see the usernames above the cars during a replay. I think that's what you're looking for.

Aha! So it does, you learn something new every day!

As for guest commentating, weeeeeeeeeeeelllllll, I do have a few ideas.......................

Well that was an interesting way of starting yet ANOTHER "need new content" thread. Seriously, what was wrong with posting in that other one on the exact same subject?

Nice try with the "player numbers down under" title.

Do a google for a program called GetDataBack NTFS, it got all my data back when no one could access my second hard drive when it died. Windows refused to recognise it and even so called "experts" said it was a lost cause.

It scanned the drive, found 99.9% of the data and I was just able to copy it to my master drive. Might be worth a shot for you buddy.

Thanks all for the positive comments, makes me want to do a second and better episode (one with no ovals, just for Kurent :razz.

To MP3Astra: you are uncannily correct, I probably was holding my voice back a bit as most of this was recorded late at night, and didn't want my missus to walk out and see me yelling at the computer screen and waving my hands all about. Next time I'll do it when no one is home and just go nuts. Also, the total captured files for this project alone was 3.89GB from FRAPS recorded at 640x480 at 30FPS.

Funnily enough, I think it actually was watching The Blame Game that inspired me to do this, so there you go. Its your fault!

To Zoomy: I was tossing up whether to use racer names or LFS usernames, ended up going with racer names as replays dont save usernames that I can see.

To Becky: Yes, yes you were. Glad you liked it. Making full use of the BnJ rules!!!

Quote from kurent :

This is your mystery project?? Commentating on races? I must say I'm kinda dissapointed, but this is only the first one I guess.

And fly thru of WooblyOval? You must explain the complex corners!

I did WobblyOval as my first one as it was the easiest to do to be honest. It was all pretty much an experiment and I am always still learning how to use Vegas, so if I do any more, I hope they will improve.

Anyways, I expected this sort of comment from you Mr Kurent sir , in fact you reminded me about something I was going to say during the commentary which I completely forgot about. Just a slight dig about you and your absolute love of ovals .

Well, here it is, the first ever episode of Bash TV.

I hope to be bringing you broadcasts of races from the CTRA Bump n Jump servers. Now, let me first say, I am NOWHERE near as good as Becky and her crew so dont go expecting STCC quality production here!

Also on that note, this is NOT an "official" CTRA sanctioned broadcast, so any views expressed are mine only, not of CTRA or its officials. Its just a bit of fun really!

I reckon it turned out quite well, apologies for the relatively mid-quality capturing, I hope to upgrade my PC soon to get better footage.

Anyways enough ramblings, here are the links:

Quote from Indiana Jim :

In real life, if you pit for repairs when you owe a drive-thru, the penalty is erased unless the pit stop isn't long enough, in which case they hold the car at the pit exit line for the remainder of the time owed......
(snip)
......There are other things that could be better in LFS. Refueling during a pit stop is one, for example. If you notice, all the tires are changed, the fenders get fixed and refueling is last. Normally, refueling is done at the same time the tires are changed. Unlike real life, there are no 15 second pit stops in LFS when taking four tires and full fuel.

Point 1: You are completely incorrect, name one real life racing series that counts penalty time while work is being done on the car (repair, refuel whatever).

Point 2: Not all racing series allow refuelling at the same time. FIA GT racing I believe cannot refuel while the tyres are being changed or other work is being done on the car (or even swapping drivers). Might even be the other way round, fuel first, then tyres/driver etc.

Some series allow simultaneous refueling yes, I believe this sort of thing will eventually be implemented in LFS.

To KartRacer: Amen brother, Amen.

I would just like to add that those who complain that its taking SOOOO LOOONNGG to get updates and "its easy to do most of these things", why dont YOU go out and do it yourself if its so easy.

Also, to those who prophesise the "death of LFS", this has been prophesised now for many years, and as we just recently set a new record for the most people online at once ever, LFS must certainly be dying. Oh dear. What will you do if it died? you will have to go over to Rfactor forums and prophesise the death of that or something.

Quote from Anathema :

I have Pentium 4 1,8 Ghz, 1 GB DDR RAM, Ati Radeon 9600 XT with 256 MB DDR. I know this is not the optimal configuration for LFS. I know too, I need definitly a new one. Shame that my computer is well prepared for playing after I read what the requirements on LFS Homepage say. Its ridicoulus that I can count my fps in a full starter grid on 5 fingers. My graphics preferences are at lowest.

I have a AMD 2800+, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9800 Pro with 256mb and I get 50-60fps regularly. On fuller grids, I can get about 30-40fps. I think there might be something else at play with your system.

Plus 20fps is easily driveable, you dont need over 40fps to play, thats just being stupid. The human eye only detects so much....

Thats gold, pure gold.
