Certainly... There is a difference between drifting for fun or drifting to show off people that it's barely possible..

Quote from The Moose :

If low 51's are possible I'm giving up sim racing.

54.4 my best so far. Need to do more laps but so many good combos to try i'm not getting enough laps in with a single combo yet.

I agree. If 1.51s are even imaginable on that track, I'm saying goodbye to my 11-ish years of sim experience and burn my G25 in public... I went tryhard mode and rarely got 1.53.8

Quote from masternick :

As someone that drift irl I find points system in every game to be stupid, I'm yet to see anything that really rewards good drifting.

The e30 on the new drift track feels so good, just need to work out a way to get my joystick working as the handbrake, pushing a button on my g27 shifter feels so wrong.

You know it's not neccessary to drift in the Drift Mode... You can also go and do it in Practice, the physics dont change. It's just something for the Arcade-minded Steam users who are new to simracing...

Just in case anyone wants to be part of an Assetto Corsa Facebook Community (as there are no international public groups so far on FB). Feel free to join to expand our community.

Quote from tikshow :

Can someone tell me why there is basically 0 difference with the 458 on semi-slick vs street tires?

At least 1 second difference on every tracks. I thought there is no difference on E92 M3 too, at least in handling, but I just noticed being 2 seconds slower on Imola...

Welcome to 19 posts ago Kristi

Totally feel the same, when it was around U and patches came out like hell. There will be an up or DLC every 2 weeks for AC. Sounds promising.

And what do you do on LFSForums, Donkey_DriftKing? All I've seen is your name around in General topics, lately.

Quote from fwanky :

even still, there is a big "assetto corsa" logo on the actual video

Well, someone who assumes that's an LFS with a mod, it's not unexpected not noticing a half-screen sized AC logo.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Not suffering from any bogging down problems.
Mine isn't forced into 900 degree mode at all. Quite happy with 420 for the Tatuus for instance.
Never had any lag (about 50-60fps with vsync on or off)
I don't drive slowly. Who cares about that.
Personal preference, but I like having the virtual wheel visible.

Plus you can also turn the virtual wheel off if you mess around the cfg.

@Ball Bearing Turbo

The E92 M3 speedo is a liar. Turn on the virtual gauges, and it shows like -60kph on higher speeds. Pretty weird.

Quote from Scrabby :

Oh man, I thought I was fast in the E92 M3
Stock setup on Semi-slicks


2:04:888.

I pulled off a 2.03.492 on that combo. :P

What laptimes are you doing on M3 E92 @ Imola?

I'm consistently doing low 2.04s, and my TB is 2.03.644

Quote from Scrabby :

And am I the only one struggling driving fast with the Ferrari 458?
For example: First turn at Imola, approaching at high speed, braking and suddenly the rear end steps out and it's gone...

Creepy cause I mostly suffer from understeer issues. It handles a lot like a badly set up FZR in my opinion. Understeers at entry and midcorner, and oversteers on the exit. Good thing I was a big fan of that kind of handling, at least used to it.

Thanks a lot.

@Keling, I'm not sure cause I didn't yet try the semislicks, but I guess those laptimes are surely to improve.

Quote from MataGyula :

The trending combo at #liveforspeed has been the 458 at Silverstone, with 1.11.9x by Huru on semi-slicks, and 1.12.3x (afaik) on road tires. Others will post the rest I am sure (or update me on these times ^^ )

Well, I'm not even that hardly off-paced after driving 2 laps with the car then. 1.13.512 at first try, I was more entertained by the rest of the cars, especially the GT2. The Ferrari is a lot of fun to drive too, though.


EDIT: Someone mentioned its possible to turn off the slowdown thingy in an .ini file. Which one is it?

I just thought it would be pretty cool to form a kind of community/group of the people who also came from LFS and are into Assetto Corsa, so we can find eachother. I just can't wait for the multiplayer already.. That will be a lot of fun.

Quote from seniecka :

make sure you don't make a video heavy and so predictable to watch. don't make it so predictable and monotonic.

That sums is up too well, couldn't have said it better.

You can't really do anything to handle people like Kryptonite. The best way is ignoring them until they shut the hell up and leave themselves, until then you can just listen the drama queen whining about nonsense, without proper facts.

Quote from Kryptonite :

I agree with you Isaac, we must to try have fun on track and so on, but not fun that it's okay to have the same name in the LFS, whether you are running international or in different leagues or not. if I take a break or similar in lfs does not mean that everyone has the right to take the name.

Dude, you are totally missing the point of these posts. Please read all over again.

Oh, it's the Racing Minds Endurance again ^^ Wish I could participate for the nostaligic feeling :P

Oh, it's one of these topics again. At some point, I have to stand on the side of Takumi. He is right. If they didn't want to make some money out of this project, then they wouldn't ask for money to begin with. Therefore, if you want to sell your product it REQUIRES marketing. No matter what it is. It used to be a decent product, without marketing, which made the player base into what it is today. Now it's a project that's dead, and not even pleasing most of its customers and there is still nothing done about it. That's not the way you make a succesful game/company.
The thing is, cargame.nl, you missed most of S2 considering your join date. You have no idea what LFS was like, when it was shining. You simply just don't have a comparision point to make a proper opinion on the state of the game.

Nobody really knows.
