Quote from Bean0 :

Saving up for S2 of course

...or that, then

Quote from Gekkibi :

Went pretty off-topic, but congratulations.

thanks

Quote from Bean0 :

You should stop thinking that everyone in the demo is a career demo user.

It gives a much better impression of the game to someone genuinely trying it out with a purchase in mind. They'll see the auto skin downloading in action when S1/2 licensed racers join, and with a bit more accountability for demo users, the quality of racing should be improved.

errr...what do you call someone with the purchase in mind, but not the money in pocket?

hey, i didn't remember this thread i created. and i was talking about my classes here, so here i go:

i just received my maths exam results, and got 19.5!!! (grades here are from 0 to 20), and got 18.6 in my english exam!!! :woohoo:

Quote from Noccy :

Another slight problem could be demo racers who have no idea of certain rules coming to CTRA or other servers and ruining races..this will be quickly solved by the hosts though by simply putting one cone somewhere. (pitexit,grass,sandtrap,etc)

No problem about that. I don't know the rules, but willing to learn them.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

I don't know. I can concentrate better with music. Even when i'm racing.

Me too, but i still need to hear engine sounds and such, so i usually put my WMP with around 30% of it's volume...

maybe it's my crappy internet (512kb :shy

i will try in some other time when it's less traffic flowing...

Can you all download the Y18 patch? I'm having problems on doing it...

Quote from Scawen :

That's one major reason for this, bad demo racers will now be banned by user name.

:woohoo:

thanks a lot

please tell me that means no more "unnamed" players and the number of bangers will be reduced...

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Maybe make it a poll..

No, I don't listen to music while racing. Even in driving games or whatever I turn down the music, or off.

pool<- created

This is just for fun, to know if you like to have some music on while racing.

About me, yes, i like to have my rock music on, specially groups like Offspring, Blink 182 and such.

Quote from Gekkibi :

Indeed. I was on demo servers yesterday, and there were multiple racers who was near WR.

Astonishing!

Yes they are. It's in Zion Race Demo, if i'm not mistaken. It's for XFG and XRG only and laps below 1:35:XX are common.

I frequently watch those races. Would like to participate too, but i can't get below 1:37:XX. Maybe it's my setup. I run in default setup with slightly hardened suspension...

edit: and i run with mouse and keyboard, btw.

Quote from der butz :

just as I said... brainless logitech fanboy sheep....

greetz

der butz

well, just because they like logitech they're not brainless. you can't deny it, logitech has wheels of great quality. but the RGT is also an option to have in mind.

And by the way, i'm willing to buy a RGT. It costs way less than the G25, having a clutch pedal is really an advantage and the analogue paddles are very useful to me because i got a friend in a wheelchair who likes racing games...

Quote from fragile_dog :

Umm we have fern bay.... set in the topics, with some bits right next to a beach iirc.

As for uphill course, would be fun, but I'd rather see an actual race track that been built on the side of a mountian/hill. Like bathurst :S.

i already saw some fern bay prints, and honestly it's still not what i'm looking for.

Yes, we definitely need narrow roads.

Just to make another suggestion, anther kind of track i would like to see is one in a tropical and beach area, i really like those environments. like this from outrun2:

Quote from Zen321 :

Sorry if it has already been posted, I didn't see it

Yeah, about uphill/downhill : I never seen (or heard) about professional downhill races, except in rallyes (such as Argentina). But if you make a uphill track, turning it downhill is gonna be pretty easy for players with the autocross editor (just put a start at the finish, two or three splits, and a finish at the start ^^)

The only downhill tracks i saw were in rally too. but both could be added.
And by the way, relating to your first post, why would they flame you and saying you are an Initial D fan? I'm a fan of the anime myself, and i like mountain roads (note that i said mountain roads, not drift) A LOT, but it doesn't mean i'm automatically a drifter. unlike most of initial d fans out there, i'm aware drift is used only for show or as a last resort, and it's slower in the great majority of the curves (shall we say about 95%-98% of them) but it's hell for my tires, so it's not really an option.
But i admit it: sometimes when i'm bored in a race, i drift in one curve or another to keep me awake. but i only do it when i'm sure i'm not going to disturb anyone's racing line.

Been sugested before, but still...

YES, YES, YES, YES!!!

We need this uphill and downhill tracks.

One in asphalt and another one in dirt, like this one:

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Not forgetting the fact that he was one of the few drivers to earn the respect of Schumacher, which is much harder to do that winning two world titles!

EDIT: Another big crash in todays F3 race...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0CqNWlotnI

:eek: OH MY GOD its EXACTLY like Lucas Di Grassi accident a few years ago. It was in F3 too, Di Grassi also tried to overtake using the left side, and also touched the other car's rear tire. car rolled over the exact same way and it's even on the same curve. difference is Di Grassi's car flied a little bit and the car's nose ended on top of the fence behind that tire wall.

edit: i only found a "watts zap" video with the accident. here it is. look for 0:39.

Quote from deggis :

300 km/h. Google is nice: http://www.google.com/search?h ... 20mph%20in%20km/h&lr=


ps. No matter how much Nascar sucked, those "steering right" comments were extremely stupid.

thanks for correcting me.

i only did 60mph=100kmh...and 180mph=300kmh

Quote from Kristjan.J :

All i want is friendly people and good races in S3.

...and that too

Quote from caco83 :

This thread hasn't been closed cause i haven't added the major part for S3
Engine Moding
meaning Motor heads, Engine Blocks, Intake, Pistons, Headers, Mufflers, 4Cylinders, v6, v8 engines

to keep this long list short, it would make for interesting challenges and unique speeds n times

and of course this idea isn't unique it comes from Ilegal Street Racing Red Line, wich is a very old game and plenty of people loved it for its customizable engines, and suspentions, but then again that will add a money system, but in most LFS servers money has already been applyed by programers where u have to drive to make money..... if i left anything out feel free to correct me or add but this would definately give S3 a new look / feel and Push in the future.

it's hard to tell...the idea is not bad at all, but it's hard to implement in LFS. follow my thinking, there are better parts than others, but there is no money system inside lfs playing, so everyone put the best parts in their engines. to prevent this, all parts have advantages and disadvantages, for example part X adds a little more output, but it's heavier, and part Y is less powerfull, but lighter. But if you noticed, this would bring lfs to the arcade level.

and i also own "Street Legal Racing: Redline" (this is the correct name) and i love it, except the ricing thing (but like to change the engine parts).

an idea i had is being able to swap engines between cars, but not bringing this to stupidity like putting a Formula1 engine in the UF1000 or the XFG. Could be like having the XRG and installing the turbo version engine. Of course there would be some differences like the different transmission effects or heating up a little bit faster.

edit: also being able to swap transmissions wouldn't be bad at all...

Crashing at 187mph??? Quick maths are telling me almost 320kmh...

it's really a nasty crash.

Quote from Dajmin :

My opinion is unless it's related to your schoolwork they don't have to allow you access to it. It's not really censorship, it's more like focussing

yes but, block msword?

what, they are supposed to write projects and reports on notepad? (no, wait. it is also a program, so it must be blocked as well)

Quote from SamH :

Umm.. patch X is back online for demo users, btw

no need of it. i prefer the XRG. and the physics are better in Y (i think)

and btw (hope the layout is correct :razz
