Probs one of the battery leads jumped after the impact. I normally fix something like that by lifted the bonnet and beating the crap out of the engine with a large hammer for a while . . . . . Works everytime . . .

I would show you mine, if someone could host for me . . . .

Apparetently a server side issue that had nothing to do with LFS as a unit . . .

Scawen mentioned it in the RSC (Or whatever) forums.

Bit sus really ain't it if your business relies on sites and communication with your customers. If this was later down the line for LFS then it could have cost them quite alot in customers and money . . . .

Hope they get something back for their downtime . . .

I so wanna say yes yes yes, count me in too . . . Bu tI can't commit until I know what I'm working, which could well be the week before . . DOH.

But If I ain't working I might just come up and have a butchers at everyone and put faces to 'nicks'. Got family up in Northhampton anyhow.

So keep us posted about a meeting point and you never know, you might see a Funnybear up there too. And see why his full nick (Funnylookingteddybear) is a little more apt . . . lol

I reckon it's too close to be a fake. A faker couldn't get that looking so close without some serious work, plus the fact you see him dissapear at high speed into the distance . . .

I bet he pissed his pants, I know I would have done.

I reckon he actually hit (Scrapped) the front of the SUV and the white car must have seen him coming because he sped up.

Incredable.

Hmmm, I need to look at it somemore . . . I know you can get the camera right in low over the car or on the bumper excetera, but you have to manually turn it to keep it 'fixed'. I want an option to 'lock' it into place so you can generate those bumper cams that you see on TV.

SO city is bumpy. So if you feel your cart ain't giving you the handling you are expecting from it then raise the suspension, it might be hitting the stops and causing the car to become unbalanced.

Do the kegs come with the Jewel Case?

I wasnt my kegs. Anyone else had their Kegs?

Dammit, 24 ****ing quid this 'simulatory racing experiance' cost me, and everyone gets their Kegs apart from me . . . .

That's it. I've had enough. Unless I see my kegs in my house by the end of the week then I'm . . .I'm . . . . I'm . . . . Just gunna carry on playing LFS like any good addict.


[Ontopic] Dewd. If your into your racing games then I'm surprised you ain't signed up to LFS already . . . If you are truly into your racing games then you will never use a racing game again and will truly understand what a racing simulation is all about . . . .[offtopic]

Kegs?

And slighty friendlier user interface as well.

I wanna be able to pan, tilt and zoom all at the same time without getting my hands crossed and fightin' with the mouse . .. .

Plug you into a Sega?

Mate, you really should have a shed load of servers coming up . . . .

Done the Firewall thing? Idiot checked your settings?

Cable company missold you?

FZ50 is a car with the engine riiiigggghhhhtttt out behind the rear axle, which means the rear is always gunna want to try and beat the front to the scene of an accident.

When your driving it try and feel which end is slipping out first, if it is the rear (Probable) then retreat the antiroll back a bit to make them softer (Does the FZ50 have anti roll?) and soften the rear, this will mean the car trys to push the rear tyres into the tarmac more whilst under load, should help allieviate some of the stepping out. Decrease the rear bump and the front rebound damper settings, this will increase rear grip again, but go too far and the car will be unsettled again.

Just try playing with a few settings and see what responses you get. Feel free to ask more questions. But as a mouser my setup will be different from a wheeler anyway.

Hi,

I'm a total noob not only to Live for Speed but to racing sims. I'm more a Counter-Strike guy. I bought a MOMO and downloaded LFS demo and now I'm hooked. But I have some questions.

1. Since I'm such a noob how long before I can go online? Are their noob servers?

2. How do I know when my wheels are locked or about to lock? Yes, practice but in practice sessions how do I know?

3. In the overtaking training, where should I overtake? Is it possible to overtake the Pro car? I'm faster than the OK car but I find it hard to pass him cleanly and when I pass him he often bumps me. I've only gotten around him cleanly a handful of times.

4. Are the crashes in the demo less realistic than in the full version. If I ram head on into a wall at 110 mph my car should become a toaster.

5. I'm married. How do you get the wife off your back so you can play?

Get online now. In fact why are you reading this. Go, now. You still here?

You gone?

Right: Turn your sound up, tyres squeel when locked and if you F9 you can watch your tyres turn to red, thats bad. V bad. Your aiming to keep the tyres in the green, so if you think your brakig to hard, lower the braking force untill your more comfortable with your pedals.

Online overtaking ain't like the AI. Get online. But then you should be already.

The crash physics and car reactions arn't quite there yet, LFS is only an alpha and it's still being worked on. It'll come though.

My birds just kicked me into touch. So I'm the last person to be giving advice about computer games and relationships.

Most servers run very short lap races unless you are in a league or something so just join a server and get some laps in. The race will be over and starting again soon enough. Just stay out of the leaders way unless you want a quick and generally annoying lesson in track etiquette.

With a 3meg pipe you should be getting better pings than that. Have a look at your settings again, do an idiot check on your connection and your filter settings. Is your firewall interferring, try turning it of and refreshing the server list. See if that makes any difference.

I have a 1mb connection and I'm always getting between 30 and 40 mps.

And yes, a race will start when people vote for it. If noone votes you could be waiting a while, but there's normally a good reason for it.

There really must be something up with your connection, not LFS server side. you should have loads of servers to choose from.

Hehe . . . giggle . . . . snort.

Keep it up lads and ladesses. Although it does appear some of you have glossed over the 'humour' part and gone straight to what you really do when going down the straight. But hey, it's good to now . . . .

I'm still deciding what I do.

My doctors given me pills . . . .He sais the swelling will go down, the temperature will drop but the 'brmmm brmmmm' noise is all my own doing and that I need to see a shrink about that . . . .

Quote from mrbogeyman :

that is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong straight.

It's a very loooooooooooooonnnnnnggggg straight.

Apart from the fact you got no damage from that, I could almost imagine that happening irl.

IRL you would have broken your suspension for sure and probs would have dug into the dirt a bit more, but otherwise that looks pretty special.

Ahhh. Well there you go . . .

See . . retorical Nooby questions. You only had to say it out loud didn't yer and you know the answer . . .

Oops, thinks it's a URL!!

I wonder . . .

*Edit* HAHA, it's a dating agency . . . wicked.

Any Mods see this, I ain't spamming, just don't know how to not have it as a URL . . .

Just bumped it into top gear, got a few seconds spare on the back straight.

How do you fill your time?

Sip of Coffee? Bite of a sandwich? Quick buff of the moniter?

Humourous answers only. A prize to the funnniest*.



















*Ok, not so much a prize, more just the honour of having the only fully working funny bone in the comunity . .. .

I think it's a case of who you are racing with and against . . . .

If you a in a very close race with a fellow racer that you know and can race very well with then by all means use everything that your disposal . . .

But, if you are racing against much faster drivers who are themselves racing others then maybe your actions could just be taken as being stubborn and dis-courteous. There is a time and a place for everything . ..

Gunna hold the world to ransom? For 1 MILLION DOLLARS?

You know, Iwas thinking this very thing after watching the SPEED channel last night. They where showing Ozzie truck racing, but it's something I've thought about before. Would there be technical limitations in adding a truck to LFS, wieght limit and stuff?

Would be a right hoot though.

Plus some nice big Ozzie V8's too. Not just for the racing but for the sound. They sound gooood!!
