Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new to the game. All the sounds posted here are to be downloaded and installed into the game - fine. I now understand how to access them within the game but is there no facility for samples to be played on this forum?
It seems very long winded to d'load, install, crank up the game, edit, continue etc if only to find I don't like that sound and have to reload the original or another alternative and try again. There are so many available, judging by the number being posted here, and if they could be heard on site here we could flip through them selecting those we particularly like before d/loading and installing them. Or have I missed something very basic?

No there is no possibility of trying out the sounds without using LFS. If you dislike the sounds in LFS, don't worry, they are produced in real-time, unlike other games which play samples unaltered. They will get much better in time.

Who cares about driver movements?

I am the driver. And I move. IMO turn the wheel and driver off.

Only for replays would driver movement be good. The gear shift hand movement would then be able to be timed correctly, as LFS knows when the driver has shifted.

Oh yeah I agree. Completely stupid.

WTF!?

(includes no gore)

Saying there is no gore (which there isn't) is a little misleading as people died...

Truly amazingly awesome...

The sound lord of LFS agrees with me

I'm fully with the first poster. My favorite days are dry, cloudy days at 10 - 15 degrees or so.

However I am looking forward to my 3 month break from education, starting in a few days time!!!

VERY nice!

Decide for yourself. 6 minutes of LH hamilton onboard in Hungary last year, coming from the back:

Nice footage again, but the jumping constantly between different onboards does get a little annoying. Oh, and in response to your question about the splitscreens, I personally prefer each lap played seperately (I can't concentrate on two things so I covered one on them up LOL). But thanks anyway.

TBH I really don't think it is patch X related, although I could be wrong.

Look in the process list: http://www.xefteri.com/article ... 4/images/task_manager.gif
Under the CPU tab, to see if anything is hogging your CPU while LFS is running. LFS should approach 100%, and all other programs should stay below 1 or 2%.

Quote from J.B. :

IMO the people who think that LH and FA aren't that special are failing to fully relish a season that will go in history as as an absolute F1 classic.

I mean you only need to watch some on board shots of the two to see that they are driving really, really hard and well. In fact I'll upload another splitscreen vid I made yesterday from q2. You can see that FA's lap was incredibly precise and on the edge (watch his car twitch into the corner before the back straight) but even then there are at least two corners where LH was faster.

And I bet FA was heavy in q3.

I was hoping you would upload some more footage, thanks.

I think another way that can be put is this:

If you are fast in a simulator, you have the skill and potential to be fast IRL. This doesn't include how well you will cope with the fear factor and physical demands.

If you are slow in a simulator, you won't have the talent / skill to be fast IRL.

Well? Hamilton on Pole again! What do we think?

I think Alonso could have taken it, if he didn't take so much curb on the 2nd slow hairpin before the final corner in the infield, causing oversteer and losing himself traction...

Quote from Moonclaw :

I think this is a lot of fail, because real night onboard videos actually have video instead of random darkness.

Most of all this one is basically audio with black background. Everyone should go make videos with 100% darkness, "realistic night onboard". Anyone who's seen real footage of night racing will concur this is a load of fake and fail. Play LFS with monitor brightness and contrast set to zero and you have "a dream".

I think his editing is slightly more advanced than "audio with black background"..

Quote from Greboth :

How awesome would that be to play lfs like that *dreams*
Nice video too, I liked it alot.

Off topic - Is that a dubbed over sound or a different sound for the fxr because it sounds sooo good.

Default sounds, but mega distortion / clipping through recording with fraps I believe.

Edit: Oops, a bit slow...

When you are running LFS, are there any other processes running in task manager which are using CPU power?

If I were to guess, the motor is direct drive (no gears), so to go from 0 to 130 mph in one gear is probably stretching the rpm range of the motor.

Here's my 5 minutes of work:

This one made me LOL.

He said 0.25 in the opening post.

I'm not comparing him to Senna either, but I am extremely impressed.

Yeah I think a lot of you guys are being overly unimpressed by Hamilton's performances..

I mean, not off the podium this season, any gap he has seen he has got himself in, pole position at a track he has never seen before (or does it show that simulator really works Tristan :razz, keeps his head in ANY situation he has been in so far, NO mistakes, superb driving style, and thrashing his highly experienced opponents in the world championship in his rookie F1 year.

Like someone said, I think if Hamilton won every race from now on, you guys would still be unimpressed.

Quote from J.B. :

Here's Hamilton's full pole lap from onboard. I wonder if he builds that turn-in oversteer into his setup on purpose? It looks fast.

http://rapidshare.com/files/36 ... ton_pole_onboard.avi.html

Awesome! Thanks for the link

I think hamilton is absolutely great, I don't care if the media go OTT, he is superb, his driving style is awesome, always on the brink of losing the car but somehow always keeps it moving forwards.

Good video, but bbman has a point. Gentlefoot, what he is TRYING to say, is that driving over huge curbs, such as the ones in fern bay, as one drives over them to get a fast time in LFS would not be plausable in real life, as you would be sure to significantly damage the suspension. In LFS the suspension's are not damaged by shocks or sudden impacts as significantly as in real life, therefore the style of driving in LFS looks unrealistic, and this is reflected in the video.

Quote from bbman :

Who is the biggest CO2-producer, you may ask? Mother nature herself with all her plants and wildlife! Should we go round and shoot every animal on the planet, cut every plant?

What the hell?? Plants ABSORB CO2, WE PRODUCE CO2....

Anyway my take on it is this: Whether or not CO2 is a major global warming contributor, I really don't know. But what I do know, is that breathing in what cars give out is not good, cutting down trees is not good (AS THEY ABSORB CO2 AND GIVE US OXYGEN), filling land with waste is not good, and using up the worlds oil resources is not good.

So either way, WE STILL NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. And better be safe than sorry.

P.S. I agree that the quoted guy in the first post is a prat, but he does have some points, however I DO NOT WANT MOTORSPORT BANNED as it is not a major factor.

Edit: Bloody hell this thread is fast
