LFS is not a democracy, we are just a bunch of customers. The devs owe us nothing more.

Wise words...

Quote from cardriverx :

what I wanna know is why they picked a scirocco out of all the much cooler and much more fun to drive cars that are out there.... . Plus we already have a FWD hatch.


Why not something like a saleen S7 or lotus exige S or a lambo, all different that any car in LFS right now.

Probably because its THEIR game and not YOURS...
So its just "eat the soup you paid for and shut up" or "i'd rather play something else and shut up the same".
Seriously guys,you need a patch for yourself,not for the game.

Quote from chavm481 :

im gonna go play rfactor.... free mods and night racing.

Yeah,that's the way...
I hope you are joking.If not,call a doctor...a good one...

Quote from Gunn :

One of the best cars in LFS, and works well on most track configs.

I agree,as soon as i retrieve a bit of spare time im going to learn it good...its a very nice piece of car.Shame very few drivers can tame it good.

Avira antivir is the best...

Then i will speak english for all of you...
Dear italian,i have not experienced such problems with lfs in windows vista.I just unlock it and start the exe.Sound is ok and all is working well.Did you try it with XP too?
Try to move the lfs folder to another place,and unlock it again.It is very strange...

Ciao Italià.Non ho capito bene il problema,spiegati meglio

Happened lots of times,people who were involved in accidents promptly voted to restart the race...which isnt very fair.

Graphic card is the real issue here...

I wanna play lfs on my solar powered calculator...

I think wankel is really in a very early stage.You can say everything about it,but its just because no one cares about it.Car industries cant leave reciprocating engines and offer wankel as an option on a car.It qould be too expensive for them to produce and to develop in order to assure good reliability.Bear in mind piston engines have gone thru a long series of little improvements that ended up in the engines we have today.The engines on the ford T model weren't supposed to have all the clever stuff and all the performances of today's ones.F3 cars cant have engines like this because no one would risk their money,and Tristan well knows what risk teams are going into when trying something different.Audi got it right with TDI in Le Mans,but it has lots of money to spend in research...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Not really, no. It's purely a marketing exercise. If it was any good then Mazda would have more than one car fitted with it.

I've driven RX-8s on the road and on track (at Bruntingthorpe). On the road it was a truly awful engine, on the track it was merely okay. I've certainly never driven a car with 250hp that had so little go, and yet uses more fuel to achieve that lack of go.

Reciprocating engine were worse than that in the past...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Whilst the Wankel in the RX-8 has a volumetric displacement of 1.3l it isn't comparible to a 1.3l reciprocating engine. To get the ~250hp it still has to burn the same amount of fuel (actually more, as it's less fuel efficient). It uses more oil. Is more expensive to service, and generates less torque (but can make nice headline power figures due to a slightly higher rev ceiling). The only thing in their favour is size and weight, and it's not a huge saving of either.

Well,the fact is that no one ever cared about it.Only mazda believed in its performances.We now run cars with a really stupid engine,it converts linear motion into rotational,it has thousands of moving parts,and it just produces power in just one of its strokes.You cant say an engine like this is smart,can you?Wankel is not the solution,but surely it is a much more solid base to start from(at least theoretically).

Quote from jonny__27 :

Actually i think they are 2 rotors, 650cc each, which perform the 1.3L together, but my memory isn't as good as it was, so i might be wrong.

You're right.

Quote from Batterypark :

That's what Mazda would want you to think, isn't it?

Oh come on.You know that wankel is banned from lemans right?And guess why?Because it gives an amazing power to weigh and size ratio just on the engine itself.Wankel engine deserves more development.We are talking about an engine that only mazda knows and makes.Isnt the lightness and the small size an advantage?Lower center of gravity,less mass to move around.
And it may perform like an engine larger twice as much,but in fact it isnt,this is the best thing about it.

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Hmm dunno i got it working somehow i guess, gonna test now.

Because you first have to set 900 degree mode.How do you want to set lets say 500° if the wheel cant phisically turn more than 200°?

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

And what i do with that? i dont want 900 mode, i want to be able to select my rotation in controller settings...

If you dont set 900 degree mode you wont be able to set ANY rotation as you like...

Press SELECT+R3+RIGHT PADDLE and you'll activate 900° mode.

lol at the three,they look like copies of the same one...not lol at the girl

Im gonna check the event log...i've never had any problem with lfs since now.Maybe is a bad driver installation

Quote from Scatter :

...while 64 bit Operating systems have a 8GB RAM limit.

The amount is not doubled,its 2^64 which is far more than 2^32(32 bits).
Theoretically you can put 16 exabytes of ram with that...

You can unlock lfs on 2 pc at your home.You can use lfs on both at the same time only if you set up a LAN game.Otherwise,you can just be online with one ip at a time.Offline you can do whatever you want...

Quote from GrAnT46 :

Hey Guys whats the best Computer for lfs?

For example no lagg Ect

Lag doesnt depend on your pc specs,you have to check your KBs in upload for that.You could have a 3000$ pc and ruin everything by just opening a P2P application...
