Quote from ATC Quicksilver :I love Donnington, thats why I don't want F1 to ruin it! Silverstone is perfect for F1 already, and if that silver haired midget bastard stopped lining his own pockets it wouldn't even be at risk.

Succinctly put. He really is a tiny weasel of a man with interests which are purely selfish.

And he tries all that spin rubbish - oh we should be grateful for even having a British F1 GP Aye right Bernie, try removing that one from the rota!

Bollocks to the wee sh!te, the sooner he gets flattened by a tonka truck the better.

Tilke is on his last warning as well, any more of his p!sh and I'll be over there to confiscate his drawing board and "Ladybird Junior Race Track Designer" book.

Quote from Spils :why do i never see more than 20???? and i mean ever

88 last night when I logged on Might depend upon the filters you have active?

I have all cars enabled, the search only ignores empty servers, private servers and cruise servers.

Thanks.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Actually, I'm sure it's spectacular for me. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can basically get away with murder here.

More outstanding moderation work............

Kinda makes a mockery of the title, and I can't even add to ignore list :weeping:

Quote from vipex123 :yeah well, before banning, they should atleast say go onto another server... and you get banned for hardly anything, you ban people instead of a warning kick.

Er, no. It's their server to do with as they please. Within reason

If you acted like a tool on our server then ban=999 straight away. Come and drive sensibly (be you greased lightning or backmarker) then you are always welcome.

But CD is a particularly bad one to pick if yer a noob on the combo You'll just get in trouble. Same goes for dMr and Oval junky servers.

Be good and it'll all go away.......

Howdy, and welcome to our world

First off, trail braking with a mouse/keyboard. Sorry but I'm not able to help there, been using a wheel since the year dot. I have heard something about the button refresh rate being fairly vital tho if using the KB. There are quite a few threads on here about it. A wee search should suffice

The average amount of populated servers seems to be about 50-70 based on 1800-2300 GMT. These are obviously the peak hours in Europe whilst other spikes occur for Australasian and North/South America. So it will kind of depend upon what time of day you frequent LFS.

Most folks drive in cockpit view or wheel view. I jump between the two depending on circumstances.

I would seriously recommend purchasing a cheap FF wheel and pedals ($30-40) as well as S2($50??). There are plenty new drivers entering S2 each day, so don't worry about being left behind! It is also the place to come to get set ups and assistance from more experienced racers. We're normally a pretty friendly bunch, honest

CTRA Race 1 would be a good place to start your LFS career. A good mix of driving abilities and folks to learn from. There is also a really good reporting facility in place which helps to keep the server from being inundated by wreckers

And yes, theres always a few oval servers running. Just make sure you know the correct decorum

Quote from The Moose :Cockpits are looking great, thanks guys

The only thing I'm really not liking is the inability to move the XRG mirror up higher. Having it stuck in the middle of the window like that is really off-putting

+1

We need a slider to raise mirror positions according to your chosen FOV

Quote from tisy0 :
I like a little tuning like adding a Slightly bigger spoiler to a car and giving it a new set of rims... maybe some neon for a better effect or some screenshots..

lolololololololololololololololololol

You don't see much trolling on thesew forums, but this sure sounds like one

Oh, and btw, how the f*ck does adding new rims to a car count as tuning?

That was a crackin' 2nd half last night, really enjoyed the game and even worth missing my regular Thursday night race with some friends

Spain totally deserved the win with 3 lovely goals, a bit disappointed how the Russians gave up completely after the 2nd goal tho

Spain have disposed of their 'nearly men' tag in this tournamant, but as I said earlier in this thread, the Germans are just too d*mn good at winning!

I expect a good final on Sunday, orra best to both sides, but if Spain win it'll be a surprise to me.

Quote from thisnameistaken :I love local news. It's like normal news but less exciting. Here's the headline intended to sell my local paper today:

http://teop.org/media/york_boys.jpg

York is so ghetto. Anybody else want to share what's happening in their town?

I like ducks, but thats still and funny headline, in a rather sick and unfortunate way

Here in Edinburgh........

http://edinburghnews.scotsman. ... ds-fake-belly-.3596108.jp

Two points:

1) How is there a Santa in Westerhailes shopping centre? Westerhailes is where you go to recover 95% of Edinburghs stolen goods. His presents (and indeed fake belly) would be gone as soon as Santa nicked out for his first fag of the day.

2) You gotta love the last sentance in the report.... A council with a sense of humour? Never..........

Quote from Boris Lozac :GTR Interiors - I knew they are coming in 2006... They probably won't be in the Patch Z, but in the "christmass" patch, and peope will be "omg, omg, Scawen and Eric youre gods!!"

Yes, but don't the new interiors mean a physics update which means wipeing the LFSW hotlaps etc again, not too long after the last one at Xmas 07. Not that this bothers me but clearly the devs want to minimise the number of times they do this.

Quote from Gimpster :
I don't know how poor most of you are that has you fussed about $13 US a month. That is 1hr of work for me, 2g of fuel, 2 trips to the fast food place or 1 trip to the movie theater. Its nothing, even if I only play for 2 hours a week, it brakes down to like $1.60 a hour for entertainment. That sis dirt cheap.

I agree it's not that expensive for those of us lucky enough to be familiar with the above standard/cost of living. I do however, totally object to the fact that as soon as I stop paying monthly fees I lose the content I have already bought, oops I mean rented. I may be daft, but I'm not stupid

I've only been playing LFS seriously for a couple of years (c. 25k miles) so am nowhere near burnt out or bored of the content.

I also have faith the dev team will spoil us rotten with new cars and tracks, but not before S3. Keep the faith

Quote from PwrSlave :It would be a lot less damagable to just acknowledge a noob mistake and it would go the dust sooner than it will now.
There thast what i think and: cant touch this :P

Exactly, and thats the kind of thing that has made people think twice about Hatememlol (inspired name, on a par with iRental )

Not sure I get the MC Hammer reference though

Quote from tristancliffe :
Kubica is better than Hamilton. But he's not smug, not arrogant, and nobody has pretended he's the best there will ever be. That is why more and more Hamilton supporters are probably becoming Kubica supporters.

TBH, I quite liked LH last year, even if I was shouting for Kimi to win the WDC. He looked like he could be the next big thing in British motorsport and I even hoped that by not winning last year it might just knock a little of that uncomfortable smugness out of him.

But yeh, you gotta like Kubica, and in fact 95% of the current F1 drivers are a pretty agreeable bunch.

Quote from diablo21 :Well yeah, he has said it many times. Go big or go home, he has to risk it and try to get on top. Because finishing 7th or 8th all the time won't get him anywhere.

All the time, sure. But when starting from 13th on the grid on a track which is difficult to overtake on, maybe taking any points at all would be better than nothing?

Quote from samjh :
Hence my respect for him (Alonso) has doubled this season. I didn't like his attitude last season, but he seems to have matured a great deal after those difficulties. This year, he's driving the wheel nuts off that ghastly Renault, racing like he's got nothing to lose.

I don't know if matured is the right word, but there has definatley been a significant change in FA's attitude this year, and it's not hard to see why. I agree, my respect for him has grown a lot this year.

He may not have had much say where he drove this year but I'm enjoying watching him hang it out and giving it everything to hang on to the big 3

ATM it looks like a proper 4 horse race for the WDC, but I expect it to come down to the two Ferrari boys come the last few races.

Quote from Mazz4200 :Congrats to Turbo Dad for getting the highest points total not just in our sub-league, but the highest out of everyone in the whole game. A whopping 717 pts

Aye, big up for Team Turbo

Thats still a pretty strong line up for Silverstone.

Just need to get rid of those Honda driver(s), weak weak weak!

What, theres a button clutch as well? And this is quicker than autoclutch?

Jeez, sometimes the less I know the better

I just can't use the shifter with autoclutch, it feels oh so wrong

I'm off to check these WR's with button clutch when I get home. If it truly is as quick as you say, it should be removed imo.

Quote from thisnameistaken :Frusciante was awesome on the early records, a real find, but my god he's dull now. Much like the rest of the Chili Peppers I suppose!

Someone needs to give them a truck full o' drugs.

Ooo, thats in bad taste that man

The usual 'no mercy' approach, I see

Still, I know what you mean. The energy in Mothers Milk & BSSM was incredible. None more so than the track 'My Lovely Man' (another Slovak tribute piece) which is Frusciantes career highlight to date, for me anyway.

Then theres been a couple of albums where they've gone all melodic and tuneful. Whilst they don't do a bad job of it, they Chilis are capable of soooooooo much more.

Let me hear ya say - I'm a freak of nature, walking totem pole. Look and see I think you'll agree, theres nobody weird like me

Re: The OP

I like the idea, but' it's not a neccesity.

A group of friends and I frequent the auto success ballast server each Thursday night, and if there was a option for this set up I think we would use it (most of us do that voluntarily already)

It should be enough to log your hotlap and know for yourself it's the quickest time using a manual set up

And it doesn't make any difference come the actual racing. With practice it actually becomes an advantage, but you can't drive it like a auto set up. It requires a different approach into the braking areas.

But what do I know, I'm slow as ****

I'm certainly no speed merchant, but I've found the following times are what I feel are decent for me

FZR @ BL1 1.07.XXX (high 7's or low 8's all acceptable!)
FXO @ BL1 1.23.XXX (ditto mid 23's -mid 24's)

Good luck fella
