I like the idea of custom made views very much

Quote from VALE 46 :

There's nothing wrong with pitting on the last lap IMO (its not against the rules ... im not saying i do it though), its a tactical move, you either run heavy with fuel and go easy on the tyres (which costs time) and pit at the end, or run light and push the tires (earlier stop). The main problem is that people put in mandatory pitstops in races which are quite short.

This discussion isn't on tactics, it's about taking the opportunity to not drive the whole pit lane at 80 and instead cross the finish line.
And my opinion: nay.

The video inspired me to create part 2
Edit: bah the subtitle doesn't fit... it was ok in the preview version

ROFL

Few of the demo racers visit the forum, you'd probably have a better chance of finding the fastest by joining servers at random and asking.

PS I'm Hungarian but spoke a whole lot better English at 15 Do you understand what you've typed?

Really nice video
Last song: Primer 55 - Loose btw

I would like to reduce my FOV below ~85° but I really need those side mirrors... I think the default position of the driver should be changed in some cases, like in the BF1, it's ridiculous I only see the shaft of the mirrors illepall
Although I know a single 4:3 monitor isn't enough for proper racing pusposes.

I have a question with LFSW: When I want to browse it, live alert and the home window pops up even though I didn't want it to. It is very annoying having to close both of them every time I visit the site.
I tried logging out and then in and I have even deleted LFSW cookies, but the problem remained.
What can I do?
Edit:I managed to solve the Live alert problem, but the home window still pops up

It would require a lot of money to get rid of these idiots but paying their 24 pounds back and withdrawing their licences would be a very effective way of making LFS a better online simulator.
Now that I think of it, they might not even be entitled for the 24 pounds, I remember reading somewhere that in case of foolish behaviour the developers have the right to terminate their licences.
School is finishing in three weeks and I'd like to enjoy my races...

I drive online for the fun of it and not to drive good times, so I start to brake earlier if someone is in front of me. Unfortunately as I like my car untouched I tend to brake later when being followed. (got used to the wrecking)
If I'm new to the combo, I'm not as cautious, I try to follow the car in front as close as I can to learn the ideal curves/speed.

What about some new configurations at South City and/or Fern Bay? There are quite a few roadblocks that cover interesting twisting tracks

Instead of taking the lagging car off the track, it might be nice to see an almost transparent replica of the car (with the same lag counter above it) drive on an AI raceline. The car's position would still not be precise, but it would give a much better idea than the current method.

My favourite car is the three XR cars, especially the GT. We became good friends in my demo period, we left quite a few XFG drivers choking on our exhaust fumes
I think the fact that few people drive XR cars on public servers (atleast that's what I see) just adds to my love for it

I'm sure we'll get it soon

On what track were you driving those times?
PS: I don't think you can put R1 tyres on GTR cars

I've heard that the leading car gains speed because of what JeffR said.
Tweaker:
By saying no it doesn't, do you mean in real life or in LFS?

+1 for the Racing Trucks feature

It might have been mentioned earlier, but the digital speedo of the RAC should be a bit to the right I think (or kph/mph should be underneath the digits)

Race on the pubics, ...

However, I have never seen errors in LFS textures myself - no matter how many times I switch to windows and back.

I get pink mirrors after switching programs but that might be due to my old graphics driver.

I'm not good enough to be able to drive fast laps without fully concentrating on my raceline, and so I don't look at my speed (digital), I disabled split time display and shrunk the size of chat messages (had a bad habit of wanting to read all of them which usually got me in the sandbox)
Still several seconds from WRs, but I'd rather choose this than to have no competition at all.

Quote from Vain :

I always ignore mandatory pits because I come to the public server to practice overtaking and close racing - not pitstopping.
Disqualify me as often as you want, I'm not interested in pitting. I know pitting good enough.

Vain

You race online to learn to drive rather than to have fun?
I think people learn to race not by deciding to learn it, but by racing a lot in order to enjoy themselves.

Quote from mrodgers :

The only problem I see with your first statement on posting a password here on the forum is.... The well known "Wrecking Team" frequents this forum! So, that wouldn't work.

It could be done by word of mouth through PM's though. If I set up a server with a password, I could PM those I know and trust to have good races. Then they could PM those that they trust to behave, etc. If done right, that could work. I know alot of fast racers who don't respect others on the track that I WOULDN'T send, alot of very fast racers who I respect and know would be responsible about it and respect the slow racers, and alot of slow and very slow racers who are respectable about their slowness and are a pleasure to have on the servers.

Or, the CRC IS STILL IN EXISTANCE. Due to lack of support from the community, it has strayed quite a bit from it's original intentions. If the community would embrace CRC again, then teams who have servers could join, password them with a CRC password, and we'd all be enjoying the racing we want to enjoy. I know I don't participate with CRC events and stuff, mainly because it's mostly UK guys and UK times, but I do log on often to the site to checkout who is applying there. Very very rarely do I see anyone that I recognize looking to join.

If the community would embrace CRC again, then I think this is what everyone who is discussing this issue is wanting.

I don't know what CRC is but I like it! A slight ray of hope... Please join hands and make it happen!

We don't know what features will be added to the final version, and to answer the AI issue, the demo is exactly the same as S2 only to exclude tracks and cars.

Having multiple private servers (by admins wanting to host good races) with a single password published here on the forum might be a solution because I think only a fraction of licensed racers visit the forum which also kind of filters serious racers from wreckers. Sensible people not reading the forum could get the password from fellow racers via instant messenger programs or something.

Might not be the best idea, but something needs to be done because I am losing faith towards the game and I think I am not alone
