hey guys, also a super newbie on LFS, had it for bout a week, race with DFP (bought on saturday). Super keen on this sort of thing, i see season 2 starts nov... how much is happen before then, relating to this beginners cup...

If anyone has a skin of a Nissan 350Z for the Z250, that would also be awesome but now i know im pushing my luck

Quote from Dru :

You own a car like that and you wanna race around on LFS in an XFG? lol....

lol... but LFS is something else to learn so im starting low down! i drove the Z250 yest for the first time, very similar to the car i race in S.A Production cars (touring cars), strangely enough!

anywayz, only been racing on CTRA and u gotta start XFG to get points dont u... lol, a laugh anywayz

I'll knock that out for you. Give me a few days.

thats awesome, thanks man!!!

Hi guys,

I just want to know if there are any proper championship races for which beginners are eligable (ie, only drivers with copper/bronze or lower).

Championship where there are like qualifying for the fastest 20-30 and then those guys race?

I was looking and reading about STCC and its an awesome thing, except that im new and have a long way to go before i get near a platinum license.

just a query as the racer in me loves to win not only races (cant wait for my first online win) but also championships...

wow guys, this is quite intense. i have just bought the DFP (sat) and the thought of H & T hasnt even crossed my mind. Just to get it straight, those of you that are H & T, are you using auto clutch or are you using one of the buttons as a clutch?

I tried my wheel out last night for the first time with a rear wheel drive and really struggled on the down change... but with auto clutch, seems as tho you'll have to be pretty damn exact to get the H & T right without accelerating through your braking point, thereby lengthening your braking zone?!?!

Or am i missing something?

thanks!

Quote from SamH :

10 points! Well done!

DizzyDarryn, I've set your preferences manually to delay the results at the end of the race. This should solve the problem. Go to $prefs in a server to see what changes I made.

To see race results after a race, you will have to manually go to $results (maybe create a hotkey in LFS for it?), but you shouldn't get kicked any more at least

Brilliant, thanks for that! im too clueless to do things like that on my own... only been playing for a couple days. Do you know of any SA servers btw?

this is a real stupid one, but how do i create hot keys... are those the CTRL +...??

Hi guys, please could someone help. i get disconnected after every single race i have... i get an error saying "lost connection" after every race. i can immediately rejoin, it is rather frustrating.
Can anyone help?

thanks

Im so stupidly useless at these skins. Please could someone help me with a skin for an XFG. ive attatched pics of my race car (i just want the colours and the logo's if possible).

Thanks

ok, ive managed to find some pics, attatched! thanks in advance!

The helmet is the same left and right with my name on both sides. Ive also attatched a big of the back of the helmet.

I do have more photo's if these arent good enough!

Hi guys,

Please could some1 help me. id like to use a skin of my real life helmet, its not 2 difficult. Please could you drop me a pm if you have time and are keen to help and ill send you some pics.

MUCHLY APPRECIATED!

been in a meeting, will definitely have a look at it when i get home, then maybe we can catch up for some racing tomorrow!

Flame-wars and blaming, usually.

lol, sounds like a party! cant wait to get home!

ill try that. im looking so forward to the weekend, becuase at the moment, ive read so much about the game, the setups, the tracks, the leagues etc... now i wanna see what it all actually means!

Quote from Gekkibi :

I usually use same setups PEPEMOLA uses (Leading driver on Bump & Jump). .

how do you get other ppls setup's. do you just ask them?

I have found 2 sites so far with setups and they seem very good.
1. is the inferno one and the other is setupdgrid.net

Quote from Gekkibi :

First of all: Forget about winning. Your first priority is to finish the race. After you get familiar with the car and the track/layout, you can try to get to the podiums. This helped me to start racing on CTRA servers. Even the motto of CTRA is "If winning is not important, why keep score?", the point (In my opinion) is to have fun and let others have fun.

yeah absolutely. you're always fastest when you're having fun. there are some seriously fast ppl around. i played abit on normal servers last night and i was like 2s off the pace consistantly, even with what i was told was a good setup...

I think ill have alot to learn bout setup etc, in my racing ive got my own race engineer for that sort of thing. thats the other reason y i cant wait to get into this, im hoping itll teach me a bit more about car setup!

i have got access to a microphone, at the moment its hooked up to my brothers computer but he wont mind if i steal it for a while. maybe sometime tomorrow.

im at work at the mo so im just day dreaming bout racing. ill take all the help i can get. cause at the moment, im not sure if there many ppl slower than i am

ill try figure the accent out, im sure its not too bad!

yeah ill do that. dont wanna join any serious stuff yet in case of bumping and all that. im also playing with a really crappy wheel, ordered the DFP so that should make things a bit easier. also trying to learn the tracks. its really an awesome game. I race cars in real life and im very impressed with how realistic the game is...

awesome, thanks man... will try run many practice laps this weekend and maybe get around to some racing! thanks again, see you on track!

oh man, i feel so stupid, i installed the demo onto work pc and havent unlocked it on this computer yet.

thanks so much for your help... once i unlock, and get into the server, is it then that i can type $password to set my password for CTRA?

Thanks again!

thanks for the help. i installed the join2LFS application. and things seem to be working better now.

thanks for the help, sorry if the questions seem stupid.

i cant even join those servers. i still get the same "website cannot be displayed error...
