visit sccc|racing server, good bunch of people and I am normally hybernating there.

Welcome to the magical S2 world ! [etals:]

Just like to let you know SCCC has a new member, named Colt.
A small article can be read here: http://www.sccabco.com/blog/index.php

Welcome a board Colt :drink:

More information about SCCC can be found on our main website, which is: www.sccabco.com !

Pop in the SCCC server, AS national XFR/UFR. Good if you're drunk, also if your less drunk for some racing. Of course combo can be changed at free will.

I'll be online too I think, just had a good meal

Btw, Happy New Year everyone!

Quote from traxxion :

Same here.

Ditto.

In other words, LFS is better and so is the LFS community !

No?!

I've been reading (most) if this and a lot sounds like Latin to me. So perhaps I better won't say a word here, but I will as a heavily addicted LFS player for over 4 years. As far as I understand everything here I don't see any reason why LFS and R2P should work together. And after all LFS stays a game, even if it's proclaiming "realism", you'll never get the realism as in the reality. We don't need R2P.

So far my hopefully usefull contribution to this topic.
You may now go on with all those special terms and all

A) This suggestion already exist - all in several sites
B) This suggestion has good intentions but is not needed in LFS,as it isn't a gigantic modding game (thank god!)

Merry Christmas everyone :grouphug:

Quote from ZORER :

LFS, of course.

And imo, second one is NetKar Pro.Not Gpl.

Because of you Sir, execution sqauds are been made!

After LFS GPL definately is the best sim. Only doesn't look like that because it's (as said before) outdated. However... beside the graphics; if I launch GPL it isn't thàt outdated if you look that it's over 8 years old.

Quote from Cropsy :

Plenty of grumpy people around this morning. The server isn't working correctly, so some are complaining about that, and most are whinging because they haven't read the rules. One even blamed me because he lost his UF1 after he pitted. illepall

It's all your freaking fault !!

Still.. I _NEVER_ get in.... 2nd server is no option ?
SCCC can borrow one for it.

I believed DoN or Orion had also some LFS dvd artwork in their gallery's.
Perhaps can go look there.

Sorry gtg eat now with my family (:sleep2 so can't look it up for you and don't know it it's correct.

Not 'STCCC' I hope :P

I'll keep it in mind, now something needs to happen in my team *hmm*

Quote from sinbad :

So people who say it's good know what they're talking about, but people who say it's not so good don't know what they're talking about? I've seen a fair bit of that kind of attitude on these forums in the past.

As Sinbad nicely stated in his reaction on what Alland44 said, beside being in a kart with a helmet on I have not a single clue how e.g a F1 or any other racing car sounds in real life. I do know what I hear in LFS and I do can compare that with what I've seen on tv, ... And based upon those things I conclude that the sound of the LFS cars aren't what they are supposed to be. Of course, as you also can notice here: many people have a different and own opionion of 'how it should be'. There is a concensus needed for that, there will always be people who like the final LFS S2 sounds and people who don't.

But as a general LFS lover and racer I just express my "worries" about the sound as it is atm, isn't that what I'm supposed to do as a loyal player ??!
I really dislike it that I can't contribute more due to a lack of technical knowledge but I want to let those people who know the 'know how' and technical terms see that a different opinion then "ye good work devs, very good" is also present. And hoping on that way, that those people go start working and bring us sounds who might help the devs or give them an idea of what we expect as community, real life racers, racing audience, ... from the devs and what we expect our beloved sim to look/sound like.

All I can say more is: community now it's time to work some in these hollidays and let the devs rest, come up with e.g an united collection of how we want the sound to be from every single LFS car. After the hollidays the devs have something to work with: ok the XFG, the community has said this is how a "real XFG" would sound like and how it should be ingame, ..... With that way of working it will demand time and very good organisation (specially from the community side), but like that we will get what we want ànd how it would sound in a racing simulation !

Just wondering while reading this: isn't button clutching and shifting still faster than H shifter,.. ?

No big difference, some cars are better, some worse. - +1

There is an improvement but just to compare the sounds from LFS to other "sims" I downloaded a demo of GPL and borrowed a copy of GTR 2.
Then I must say: devs, great work and keep going but please, keep working on the sound... this job isn't done and can not be removed from the checklist!

I don't know much of all that technical stuff, which was in the test patchforum even stranger to me then Latin (as mather of speaking) but I do hear a difference between LFS and (for example) GTR. I much more prefer LFS, I think everyone can second that I'm a hardcore LFS player trying to promote it as much as I can with friends, ... but something is still missing in the sounds. Use a (e.g) a 5.1 soundblaster system with several boxes, extra subwoofer and set the volume on a "very reasonable" level, or just try a small headphone: I think nobody here can say in complete honesty that the sound you hear is realistic and worthy enough for LFS.

Don't want to spoil the Xmas fun or the release of Patch V, which is very good work (all those fixes!) but as I said: don't remove the sound from the checklist: it is one of the main elements which makes a sim realistic, and we need (more) improvement on that in LFS.

:inq:

euh I mean, Merry Christmas everyone !

Some people just ASK to be ripped off.

Nice teasing on the liveforspeend.net homepage (numberplats: LFS 3)
Looks like the devs answer the moaners:
-new patch: check
-update home site: check
-teasing with S3 even before S2 is here: check

Or am I looking to far ?!

Anyway, thanks... will go test the new patch now!


@3J: "I think this will take a while to get used to it ... "

Just downloaded it also 'the old way'

Whatever, just let me get in the damn server now Been trying for ages lol... preferred it much more when it was private, at least I could play then

Quote from thisnameistaken :

It's not very popular, no. There aren't enough circuits for it (only three configs) so it's more of a "for a change" activity.

SCCC seem to run rallyx configs more than most hosts. Probably because Tukko has all the best rallyx setups.

True, Tukko has a certain influence on that but it is not a secret that Cabbies like it dirty

Rally is underestimated yes, it's just the same as in real life.... Perhaps some hosts can put on some rally configs to help it, but what really needs to be done is a (re)launch of a rally only league, like RSCX was.
