Quote from sinkoman :Oh, my GOD D: D: D:

I finally played a few races online, and I have to say...

It was the most INTENSE, most FUN, most EXCITING gaming i've ever done. And this is only with maybe 7 racers.

One of the only times my heart actually felt like it was going to JUMP out of my chest as I worried that i'd hit the fourth turn on Blackwood GP (right after the chicane) too quickly!

I didn't realise how intense turn one would be either. It's like a ****ing deathmatch, everybody, inches away from everybody else (and oftentimes hitting everybody else), trying to hit the closes to perfect line possible.

And then leading the pack and watching a single racer slingshot out of nowhere and overtake you!



Oh my god. I might to put the MOMO on hold

I'm still wondering though, how many west coast servers might I find online at once?

I am from West Coast, you can head to the LOTA servers for some one-make race. Anyway, if you get S2, the quality of racers is much higher than demo, and you will experience more heart-beating moment

Quote from danowat :So this might be why I haven't been able to access the forums from home for 2 days now?

Not really. I cant access to the forum for just several hours. You have to update the DNS of the forum in order to get access

Quote from Gentlefoot :Where are all the FOX entries?

Over 40 entrants in the championship but hardly anyone has signed up for the event.

I won't be able to run the event unless there are more entries unfortunately.

I'd like to participate, but sadly I have to race the 24h race with my team from 26th of May.

I will be up for another dry event or so ^^

Quote from KiNeSiS :i stopped playing LFS about a year ago when i got a laptop but now i'm back in the pc world its time to get the old logitech momo down from the loft

anyway, i'm a bit out of touch would someone mind answering a few qs?

• is used to have so really REALLY cool skins for some of my cars... where is the best place to get them again?

• i used to use some sort of mod which made a ghost car and left a trail... where do you get this?

last but not least

• i used to love trying the setups of the people with the really shi** hot times... i seem to remember downloading them from LFS world but cant find that anymore... any ideas?

many thanks and its nice to be back

Welcome back! LFS is for sure the best sim IMO.

You can go to the skin forum of this official forum, where you can download many cool skins. Or you can check out the master skinner site too, where most of the pros are over there.
Here is their site: http://www.master-skinnerz.com/

Second one, I have no idea as I don't use that.

Third, for hotlap setup, go here: http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/
Most of those are WR setups for hotlapping ^^

Have fun, mate

Quote from sinkoman :Well, if I get either, i'll get the other eventually.

It's just a matter of where my money goes first.

From the comments i've heard, the wheel is sounding like a good choice.

I have LOADS of fun with the demo game. I could play just the demo all day long. I'd imagine getting a wheel would add to that, rather than hinder it, whilst purchasing S2 prior and THEN the wheel would restrict me to a gamepad.

But then again, I could either get an AWESOME game, and stick with OK control, or get AWESOME control, and stick with an OK game.

I mean, really, what is the controller without the game?

(I hate having to make decisions )

Nah, if you can get loads of fun playing demo with mouse, then I can say S2 is the best way to go then.

Quote from Jimmy_Lemon :what the heck man, i said i blew it up for a size example the file size not the quality.

read first.

and yes i know im a graphics designer so yes i do know how it works

SO, I am saying that does not make sense. Cmon', self-claimed graphic designer and still talking like this...

WOW..u're the owner of this site?

The actlab pedals selling at their official homepage is only usd$168.. and the one of this site is like around USD$230 to me... and so do other gears. Is this site an official reseller of the gears that it has listed, or just buying stuff from other official homepage, and resell them?..

Quote from Jimmy_Lemon :attached a file,

4096x4096 and its 566kb

used the skin MRT_Repsol_Hayden and blew it up to 4096x4096 for a quick example that resolution doesnt nessasery mean huge file size.

it could be compressed 50 times more to even half the size without loosing 1 pixel of image quality from what it currently is if you have the right tools.

ok im offline

Sorry, but what's the point for blowing up a skin that is not originally created in 4096x4096? The file size is different, and also blowing up to 4096x4096 for this skin is just still crap. For Hi-Res skin ( I mean 4096 in this case), the image should be much more clearer, and thus using up much more space than just 566kb.

Cmon, I am a photographer, and I deal with Photoshop everyday. I think I have enough knowledge in terms of the related proportion of resolution size to file size.

Quote from Burnzoire :step 3... getting there!

I've decided against replicating the grill and badges... though it's been done well elsewhere, I'm not a big fan of 'paint on' parts. It'll just have to keep its FXR front

Quote from nikimere :Who are you talking to?
Teams aren't actually created and destroyed by anyone except the team owner.
To create a team you need to log onto LFS World and in there somewhere is an option to create a team, you are then the team leader as far as LFS World is concerned.

Just to let u know, he's talking to Bob Smith, one of the moderators of this forum.

Quote from mr_x :I was thinking the same as all of that, but I had to go out so didn't have time to reply to it.

Chilton is a good racer, but I really don't think he fits into the VXR team too well. I remember when he was in the Civic he was fairly quick.

Plato is still my favourite for the championship this year though

Well, I think he watched the WTCC that also raced on this weekend thro? In WTCC, the Seats are worse than the BMWs and are struggling so much.

However, in BTCC it's a different story. Look at Jason Plato winning Race 3 with even 45kg handicapped. But o yea, this race Mike Jordan should be the star. Driving in the independent cup and pushing his Integra Type R to the limit. That's just no luck for him in the race 1 at the last lap while he got a puncture.

Quote from DanneDA :I use 600x400 (or 400x600) with 1px black border around the image now. No need to go bigger than that unless you are going to use it as a background or something.

same as mine which has posted in the earlier replies. I am a photographer, and I've posted some 800x600 samples to my portfolio. And then some guys stole it.. and selling them for 3R or 4R prints which drove me crazy..

Quote from Gentlefoot :OK all I've just totalled up the votes for the day and time of the events and we have a clear winner from your 1st choices. I'm pretty glad about that, saves me having to total up 2nd and 3rd choices.

Option 11 has 9 votes and is a clear winner by 4 votes. Option 2 was the next closest.

So that means the Gentlefoot Formula Challenge will be held at 20:00 GMT on Sunday nights. That equates to 21:00 BST here in the UK.

I will schedule the events for the weeks between the OWRL events so we don't clash.

I will add this information to the forum which is now up and running. All entrants should go and register so I can contact you easier. Through the LFS PM system is a nightmare because I can only send to 5 recipients at a time. We have well over 40 entries now and climbing.

How many rounds are there in total? I think I can only make my progress through June 16th as I am heading back to Hong Kong for my summer vacation from Seattle. The time will be ideal for me when I am in Seattle, but 04:00 in Hong Kong is likely to be a nightmare. Anyway, let's see ^^

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :I agree with Davo, WR's get beaten every day, most people don't bother setting new ones because they don't actually prove or mean anything Although my advice is ummm....do lots and lots of laps until you get the best time

and I agree with you. I am not saying hotlappers aren't good racers whereas Biohazard and Bawbag are already ones. However, yea, setting new world record doesn't mean too much, proving yourself consistently through the races and seasons of the leagues would be much better.

Quote from Pain-less :It has been known to be called "powershifting" here in the US.

Although, like you said it is commonly known as flatshifting.

Yea, I am living in USA for the moment. I've talked with some drag racers, and most of them are using powershifting when they're have drag-racings.
