would love to see you win this at least once.... surely cant be hard

You don't need to be Cher to critisize her. Even though that critique in particular was quite harsh and stupid.

Quote from Bob Smith :

I'll make a point to get them re-done for new years.

Yay!

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

If you use too much steering lock, I find that it just understeers...down to driver/setup I guess.

I only meant the steering thing as an analogue to what you're doing with the brake. Exploiting the possibility of making something hard a bit easier because of imperfections in our software and hardware. I just wanted to ask would it be fun if you could also tweak your other inputs so that you get a good result out of poor input.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

It's fun, I guess. So long as you stay away from the idiots and towards the top half of the field. I guess with the size and traffic flow of the server it's to be expected.

Would it also be fun if you set up your car so that it navigates a perfect line through a corner by turning full lock, or makes perfect starts by flooring the gas?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Only race XFG, brake balance is like 74% front, set so the wheels are just about locking when using full braking force and engine braking combined. Works for me and very few can outbrake me.

That's one of the main reasons why I don't enjoy racing with that XFG grid @ CTRA...

Quote from Billeh :

Little bit of a bump i knbow but i hope somebody can help me .

I have just installed RSRBRO8 and updated it to version 2.6 everything seems to be working fine except the engine sound. Every time i let my foot of the gas the engine sound disapears or is very very low??? when i put the foot back on the gas the engine sound is there?

Please can anyone help would make my christmas

I've noticed that the volume levels on some cars are quite f*kd up. Sometimes you need to max out the engine volume, sometimes tone it down a bit.

Quote from Peaknik :

that also would send a notice for those hot rods... "I won't race you here, meet me in lfsworld!"

Keep your pants on, buddy! It's unlikely that anyone would be looking for a race with your Mazda 323

Advertising agencies are often able to make some custom stickers out of window tape, at least the one I used to work for did those for a few euros.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Nice in theory, bad in practise. There are too many idiots that can't drive cleanly, half the grid would be wrecked on the warm up lap, there'd always be one prick that'd steal someone elses grid position "for lols", maybe a server side option for league races where people are actually sensible, but on more public servers such as CTRA and stuff, it'd be a waste of time.

Of course it could be a server side option, player will be forced to spectate if he enters the wrong grid etc., and besides it only took about 5 years for us to learn how to take T1 somewhat cleanly, so why couldn't we learn doing warm up laps?

I see the warm up lap as a necessity for a complete realistic racing experience, just like false starts, clutch heat and other things we didn't have just a while ago.

On my system (3500+, 7900GS, 2 gbit, ubuntu 8.04, wine 1.0) LFS runs identically and almost as fast as on XP (< 20% difference), but it's not worth playing at all without the full support of G25. LFS (and drunken RBR with friends sometimes) is the only thing why I still have Windows at home.

And I wouldn't recommend the commercial (wine based) cedega, since the developement of Wine will get further, if it isn't already.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Almost nobody knows the true meaning of Christmas, so why do so many people "celebrate" it?

I had to uningnore you just to make sure that you're able to be negative even here!

MERRY CHRISTMAS for DEVS and THE COMMUNITY! :wmann3:

Don't take this personally, but I don't see a point in "designing" configs like these, let alone completely new venues with paint (which is the uttermost stupidity). If the devs would want to make new some configs, I think they have enough talent to pick the best new routes on their existing venue without the help of 2nd class MSPAINT artists.

Same goes with the car suggestions. Of course I can't speak in behalf of anyone, but at least I have this feeling that giving endless combination of the basic specs like weight, power, drive train etc. can only interest other daydreamers and contributes nothing to the devs.

:doh:

EDIT: UnknownMaster, I wasn't referring in your actual paint skills, but using mspaint as a track design tool in general instead. Your red line was just as good as anybody elses

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

You can change the AI's skill with the amateur / pro / whatever, not sure what difference it makes these days though. The AI use the same 'learning' file, so they inevitably learn exactly the same thing and drive like each other.

Just for the record, wasn't the AI modified so that they don't learn anymore?

Inspired by this thread I tried to race with a full grid of AI and it really was as horrible as described. Don't try that at home folks, stay online instead!

While it's obvious that the classics you posted are closer to conventional music than the more modern crap, I still failed to like any of the songs as a whole. It's just the basic elements - rhythmic vocals and looping background, that are a total turn-off for me (This song from a band I like is another good example). I don't mean that these songs suck, no. I just fail to get anything out of them. I don't even understand most of the lyrics at all, as I can only speak English 'ok', not well enough to understand poetry or fast paced pronouncing of slang terms with a ghetto accent.

Funnily enough this opinion comes for a guy who wore baggy jeans, du rag and listened to rap just 4-5 years ago. But I can assure that it didn't have anything to do with music (even though it was 4 life, yo), it was called puberty. Since then my eyes have opened, I've discovered real music, started to play guitar and see all the friends that never got over the rap thing from quite a different angle - musically.

PS. Have you noticed how modern rap artists can totally mess up good melodies with even the most minimum "sampling"? effort?
PPS. I appreciate some of the younger Finnish rap artists as poets though.

Quote from skstibi :

Put it all on slicks and It goes from something exciting to something dull.Now if you put about 570hp and slicks it becomes something fun again that really is not that hard to drive, you would just have to get used to the fact that it does go like a bat out of hell and can't completely floor it out of a corner and hope to come out straight

Exactly. If you ever bring back LX8, please make it LX8 instead of another dull car.

I tried hours to find words that would describe that latter pic of PLAYAPIMP's, but there just aren't any.

Ouch, it hurts between the eyes.

Quote from The Very End :

Has anyone here actuallly managed the last mission in Carmageddon 2? Tried like 20 times, but just gave up, could not find out how to make it.

Same here.

With LFS it has to be my first ever organized race - which was actually the first ever organized race for the first reborn Clean Racers Club. It was thrilling to notice that I can race 'ok' despite being a noob.

It's really hard to name any exact thrilling moments, but Half Life and Tenhcu - Stealth Assasins for example were pretty thrilling for me back then.

EDIT: Oh yes, 18 straight hours of HOMM 2 hotseat game with a friend and then accidentally steppeing in a sarcophag(sp) and answering wrong (didn't have google to cheat with) was thrilling.

lol, If you want to be _really_ unique, use uncolored letters

I had to go through this just a week ago, and after one day of gathering information of both consoles, the choice was easier than it could be. Hope I'll receive my PS3 by xmas, until that I have to cope with this rental machine

Quote from ColeusRattus :

It's one of those features which are nice to look at in videos or when you're just watching somebody play, but if you drive yourself, either you don't notice it at all, or you're annoyed by it.

No, imo the LFS video as well as that RACE07 screenie are as rubbish as it gets.

Should they start drawing noses in first person shooters too, because you can really see it? You pay attention to your nose when fighting in a war as much as you pay attention to your visor sponsor when racing - 0.

If a 2009 F1 car is introduced in the game then yes.
Other then that no.

Seconded.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

An annoying lorry thing: When you get lorry drivers overtaking each other on a dual-carriageway, one doing 0.1mph faster than the other so they take 10 minutes to pass each other.

Russian truckers here tend to do that every time they have a chance
