With a mouse is really easy to catch a slide but not to make nice drifts and it does not give you back any skill at all cause all the control comes from the insanely fast turns and corrections… you will feel useless when you try to use a wheel…
At lfs’s cars the rev limiter is in way higher revs than the peak power is… You just do not have any power at all there…
You should try drift without lfstweak, it’s harder to do nice drifts without that much power and you will be able to drift with other drifters on line…
Ok Vids for first attempts, having the right fps and knowing the use of shift+F
The next step is to use shift+U and make your custom cameras
I have set the force feedback at the driver to 30% and then into the game to 100%
Also use 720 degrees of rotation for the road cars. (or 1 to 1 wheel rotation for every car)
First of all do not be afraid… there is no way you can break the wheel.
I am not a drifter but I drift occasionally and I had a similar problem at the beginning cause the dfp wheel does not steer fast easily cause of its FF mechanism…
After some (months) practicing i learned how to use it… you have to predict the cars movement and start steering to the right direction sooner than you may have get used to with an 240deg wheel.
I had an 3000+ athlon xp (2000mhz) and even in full grid I was always above 50fps and when I was alone, 100+ fps…
Are you sure that there is no other application using cpu on the background?
See on task manager > processes, if there is something that uses a noticeable amount of resources, cpu or ram…
If you do not see something wrong try setting the lfs.exe at hi priority when running.
I do not think that the o/c will save him… its clearly shown from the single player performance that the system is not working properly…
Makinen is under lag and he is not able to see you… and that is clearly shown from his undamaged car…
But you consider yourself as innocent?? Yell no one is…
You need to read these rules…
Recovering from an incident
RI-1: The onus is entirely on the driver recovering from any incident that leaves them in any way an obstacle or a hazard to other drivers, to take all necessary care, hazard minimization, and responsibility not to interfere with any cars still on the track and not part of the incident. If you are off the track then the rules on “returning to the track after an off” apply.
RI-2: If you’re on the track after an incident and still in an incident recovery mode then you have no rights what-so-ever. You must give way to all non-incident-affected cars until you are fully recovered. An relevant incident may include, but not limited to, being ... Spun out, facing the wrong way, perpendicular to the track, going abnormally slow for where you are on the track, whatever, ...
RI-3: You must do everything you can to minimize the hazard your car may constitute as soon as possible. This may mean driving fully off the track if you’re half on it. It may mean moving as fast as you safely can to the non-racing-line side of the track. It may mean retiring from the race as fast as you can do so. Whatever.
You will have no defence if you cause another incident whilst recovering from an incident, or being unnecessarily slow at removing the hazard your car may constitute after an incident. Even if the incident was not your fault. All non-incident-affected drivers have right-of-way over anyone recovering from an incident. http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Clean_Racers_Club_Rules
[EDIT]
That was a silly mistake from me… :worried: :ouch: :doh:
I thought that you were one of the drivers trying to recover from the lap1 T2 accident…
Of course you have been hit for no reason and I feel really embarrassed saying this nonsense above…
On the olfsl site I am on pool1 and on the posted grids here, I am on pool2
[edit]
Ok the problem is that I can not be at my home before 17:30GMT and my teammates informed me that I was called on pool 2
So I guess that… I missed it…
On the olfsl site I am still in pool 1, but I do not want to cause a mess so I have no problem on not running there neither… but there are the -40 DNSH points that bother me…
He actually reacted and let off the throttle but then he immediately pushed it again trying to take advantage of the lococost’s car which became unsettled cause of his (Gjerde’s) misjudgment of the extra speed he gained from the slipstream…
The initial fault could be an accident cause of lack of racing experience but then there is no real excuse for the rest… maybe carelessness?
I know that I ‘ve been send to the sand trap at the very first corner of the track due to a silly lag crash, but I hope I wont get DNSH points (-40) for that…
Crazy track crazy music… even I don’t like that song it’s a good match.
Well always there are ups and downs…
For me there are only downs lol at the first event I had terrible lag and I retired from the first corner… now I started first at pool2, meshed up the first bend, slowing me down me about 5km/h making others to be able to overtake from right, making me take wrong line cause I didn’t want any contact and then woops.. too close at the first “hairpin” the friendly bump I had from behind was unavoidable destroying my suspension… I got owned… finished last.
The only think I can blame is the shity internet network we have here in Greece… still based on telephone lines… Sο the fastest way is dsl but with extremely low packets per sec rates from almost every isp…
That’s for apologies if I slowed down some of you in pool2…because I didn’t hit anyone.
