Hi sinbad

Quote :

We all know the basic overlap rule. The inside car has the right to take the racing line

Never heard of this rule? where does it come from?
Why is it "obvious you have the corner??

I,m not having a go at you BTW I just don't need the next driver who takes the inside line at a speed they cant keep through the corner and uses my car as a mobile barrier to hold there way through it to quote this rule at me.

cheers
John

They think that because they are able to stay side-by-side they are entitled to do so. The driver on the inside is allowed to assume the racing line, and that can mean running through the corner at full speed and so using all of the track on the exit of the corner.

Far too many people complain about being pushed wide when really the collision was not intentional and it was their own fault because it was their responsibility to concede the position

Why does being on the inner part of a corner, and side by side give you the right to the use the racing line and run another car off the track?

Am I reading you right?

If this is true I've wasted the last 8 years
I Should just use the racing line and send them into the grass ?.
Inside/outside, if your level ....you leave room.


John

Yep I see this as well, hotlapping is much easier but far less rewarding than racing, but some take the easy route and go around the track as if there's no one else there.

Also noticing more and more that these poor souls become deaf and dumb as well as blind when asked about there heroic manouver.

Its like if they say nothing they did nothing wrong, keep asking untill they thet get the power of speech back is the best way to help

John

thanks for the pillow

I'm so tired

Not been to Knockhill for years good to see the track again.
I can put LFS names to some of those drivers

Ohh no!!... oversteer!....Over compensate spin and crash!, repeat this every time you approach this corner, if you get frustrated, blaming another driver adding swearing and hand gestures will help untill you see your shrink in the morning.


John

I like mosport, flows like fine wine and gives you nosebleeds with the elevation changes

Oh, and: Bind "Thanks" to a button. While the idiots often spam "BLUE FLAG!!!1 MOOOOOVEE NOOOB!" at slower cars, they rarely get a thank-you for moving over, so I always thank drivers who let me pass safely

I calll mine's F2 giving respect to other drivers works
I get payed back many times most nights.

John

What was the thread about again?.......

Ok Got it .....having a faster driver breathing down you neck does wonders for my concentration, also try to think about just the corner ahead, drive it in your mind before you reach it,delete all thoughts of splits, previous laps, how bad I did that last corner, will I get curry for dinner.. etc.

I will now return to a Zen-like state....UMMMMMMMMMM:hippy:

Buy S2.. is it perfect no, is it better than demo...... its night and day.

Best £24 you could spend if you have any interest in online racing simulation , In s2 you can't change your name so mud sticks so "most" drivers want to stay clean


John

I think racing with you real name may catch on

Very sad news ..far too young.

John

I really enjoy racing the tracks in s2, great to drive , except AS nat chicane... oh the pain of it
I look forward to the day that real tracks could be added,( if possible)

The tracks in GPL spring to mind, Spa, Kylami ..Brands hatch, Monza and the one with lots and lots of corners.

But saying that AS historic reminds me of many of these tracks.

John

Feel like I've crossed into the twilight zone
Why try and make LFS into something very strange and confusing?

Lets race?

John

Being rammed after a race is not my Idea of fun, and it does the wheel no good getting violenty rammed lock to lock.

We have the best race sim going why turn it into a banger arcade game after the race ends?.
Really curious what fun people get from ramming into another car as hard as they can, a bit of a laugh maybe the first couple of times , but over and over again?.

LFS is a simulator ,lets treat it like one

Just my humble opinion

John

Hands up who has been AFK at start?.
Guilty here a few times since I got LFS

Let he is who without sin etc...

John

I'm more worried about what happens when the flag drops at a start of a race.

1:drivers who use LFS for cheap kicks, taking pleasure in causing mahem
2: Ignore blue flags, and race you into the dirt.
3: make crazy impossible inside move that can only end one way.
4:weave about like crazy to stop them losing the lead.

Stats don't effect my online racing experience, the above does.

Just my opinion



John

If after a crash my car would ruin other's races I pit,( as quick as lag allows)

Failing that and if other drivers are close behind yes stop where you are and close you eyes

Quote :

never press Shift + s except when i get to my pit box. Shame on U ppl!! u are pressing that shift + s so easily without getting into a pit box - that spoils my whole gameplay

.

NO it can make for much better racing, LFS is not real, cant be as we would all be dead, If i,m wrecked on track at t1 keeping it real after a crash, I bet it would ruin your game play

John

LFS is the biggest bargain I've ever had in PC software, YEARS of fun for £24.!!!.
S3 will cost more, who works long hours for nothing?.
Break the cost down over time and the price is a joke.

not a fanboy just know a bargain when I drive it

Your line looks good, try a few laps and try and avoid the tyre's skidding especially at t1

Dont overdrive the car, large and sudden steering Inputs ,skidding tyres etc..
As Matteman said and the OAP Jackie Stewart said in top Gear" never get on the throttle through a corner untill you know you don't have to take your foot off it".

Wise words and VERY good advice.

Best thing is enjoy your racing ,have a laugh, and practice practice practice, respect the other drivers, it gets payed back big time


John

I've raced Roobie many times good clean driver .

John

glad to see it back up
Public floggings ...thats the spirit

Just wondering if you have list of teams that make use of the barricade.


John

tried to post a replay to the server but it seems to be down.
Is it working for anyone?

I think LFS is very healthy the way it is, dosn't need any group/ organisation to validate that is realistic however you define that.


I payed £24 for years of fun, biggest bargain I ever had in PC software
Word of mouth is very powefull,And I have a very big mouth





John

Is there a problem with the OP question?
I thought we only scored points on track.
