How far into you 60's? I'm almost halfway through mine :S

Quote from al heeley :

Well I have to say the worst set of races I come across are FO8 races, where people want all the power but can't control it well. 10 restarts per 10 lap race leaves me bored. F1 would be much worse than FO8 races, I reckon.

Jeez! I gotta admire your persistance. !0 restarts? If it runs to 3 restarts I'm outta there!

Quote from Nard :

........... The only thing I hate about that is how they put so much pressure on you. I usually hold for those laps then just drive myself off the track like a noob.

lol, I can so relate to that.

This does work for LX4/6. Although when making the skins do the LX6 first because of the grills in the sides of the hood. Also, whatever you put on the back of an LX6 won't be seen on an LX4 because of the spare wheel.

Ask the author, which you should do anyways, if you edit their work.

I'm pretty certain he means edit the screenshot, not edit the skins.

16? I got underpants older than that!

I, and you all, have read countless threads like this one and they seem to boil down to the same thing: unattended publics suck!
If you go on servers such as dSRC or DMR and probably looooads of others you'll get nothing but good racing. So only join servers that have admins in attendance and have voting disallowed. This would prevent malicious banning and kicking. Also wreckers would be dealt with without a lot of kerfuffle. I suggest admins should be marked out with an (A) suffix, just look at the player list to see. Yes I do see that idiots will stick an (A) on their name, but nothing's perfect. The people we're trying to sort out probably don't read this forum so maybe they won't........ Who am I kidding!

Something to kick around anyway.

Quote from ORION :

ROFL this looks like a model aircraft had to sie for that

ROFL? Why?

Oh I see, yours are a hundred times better.

tc, the master of put-down.

After an intense session, I got things going as good as they'll get--I think! I've come to the conclusion that if I have to try this hard to like a game, or in fact anything, I really shouldn't have it. Therefore I've asked for a refund.

S2 is still the DBs and I have good feelings about what is to come given the devs past record.

Quote from operator0 :

We need a server admin board. A place where naming names is OK, as long as you have a replay. The server admins could browes through the replays, taking note of who to ban and then banning them from thier server for however long they felt necessary. If we had a network to police the servers, then all would be well.

Been tried, didn't go anywhere.

I sometimes think too much is made of wreckers etc in S2. I had a peek into a few demo servers last night...............SCAREY! Like looking into Bedlam. I scurried back to the sanity that is S2.

pedals + mouse

Now that's novel.

Quote from RichardTowler :

ouch! reason I drive sims is for enjoyment, and I enjoy the more techincal tracks in sims, and this is something that LFS lacks, also I dislike it at low speed, because there is a lack of mechincal side in the physics, and it just feels plain wrong at times, its hard to say where it is wrong, maybe tire model, maybe the way the car weight works, or the setups are just turd.

So we won't be seeing you on a server any time soon then? Shame.

Quote from BWX232 :

Try this- Leave the profiler off- keep everything at default values in there-

Go to- Windows control panel/ game controllers.
Make a shortcut to desktop for easy access if you want.

Try these settings:

And then adjust the FF in game with the < and > buttons.. Some cars, like the UF1000, you may want up to 100 FF in game, some cars as low as 30- whatever feels right.

Exactly the settings I already have. Have to leave the profiler running as I have a load of buttons mapped to it. i.e. shift+F, F1-4 trackIR centring etc

Quote from BWX232 :

everything he said

That is absolutely amazing! I thought my DFP was pretty well sorted but this just transforms it. It feels so damned real and you're right, the FF IS better. How this information has been such a long time coming I don't know. Bloody good job!

Quote from XCNuse :

whats your point doorman heheheh

It got a heheheh out of you. Point enough eh?

Quote from TagForce :

It would give the devs an opportunity to go for a majority vote... IF they are willing to change it. Otherwise it would be pointless, yes.

Since when was LFS a democracy? They give, or not give, whatever space they think is right. I bet the majority vote would always be for 'more'

Quote from XCNuse :

................ and people got mad at me .... for saying just a few more

Yeah but you're from Georgia

Nobody ever asks me for my set . But from what I see attitude is the keyword here. I scrolled a long way down this thread before the 'P' word came up. People come on and simply say 'Anyone got a set?' or 'give me a set' or some such. I've seen really hot drivers happily share their sets when it is requested which, if you think about it, is daft. Can you imagine the Ferrari team nipping along to the McLaren pit and saying 'give me your set for Nurburgring' 'Say please then'

Manners, manners and a few more manners.

Oh, and nothing has changed.

The biggest single thing to get used to is NOT to have your wheel pointing in any other direction than straight ahead at the start of a race! Many's the time I've veered across the track on the start line and had to do a LOT of arm twiddling to get going. This has a tendency to cheese other drivers off.

Oh well, here we go again. DFP, Frex three pedal set with SimClutch+ and Frex Hshift+ shifter

I for one can't think of ANY other demo for ANY other game that gives so much as LFS. The system works like this. Play the demo > either (a) love the demo and keep playing it forever for free (b) love the demo, buy the bloody game FGS! or (c) hate the demo, uninstall it and never give it another thought. Job done.

EDIT: Not the best of first posts, but hey!
