Uh....No you can't.... The only place that you can use the racing line ( hit 4 on keyboard) is in singleplayer... You can't use it when hotlapping or online...

Quote from kaynd :No I mean the FOX :worried:
max power at 7031 rpm... rev limiter @ 7500 (test patch X30, upcoming Y)

I know, I really only use the test patch becuase I like the new track so much. Unless I am reading my spedometer wrong I could of sworn the shift light still comes on at 7500 rpm...

Quote from kaynd :Now the road cars are realy fine… and the GTR cars are boring… I honestly think that GTR and formula cars had already fine redlines… race prepared engines supposed to rev that high and have a bit more spare room for revving 1000rpm above the peak power…

eg now the XFR with a 2lt engine race engine has a rev limiter on 7900 something rpm.
FOX tops @ 7500 !!!
There are every day driven road cars that have higher rev limiters than that

Engine sounds needed to be more exiting and now they are less
I “hate” all of you suggesting that to Scawen…


lol@ me taking advantage of that bump....

....WHAT?? do u mean the FXO or the FOX? Cause I still shift at 7800 rpm... lol I think the rev limiter is around 9500 or 10 000 rpm..

That is what I was getting at
Tire presure convertion?

Got a quick question about the racing slicks/tires in the new patch (x30)

"Racing tires generate heat more quickly and they will now wear more quickly"

I did a race in the Fox on Ky-national and could only do 3 laps on my R1 tires with full presure.

My questions is.. If my R1s last 3 laps with full presure, how much presure would I need in R2s to last the same distance? Or even R3s to last the same distance?

Is there a chart somewhere that has this info? I searched the forums but came up empty handed.

And plz plz don't flame me for some reason

That was confusing for me...lol
Here is my way of writing the same thing

choice 1. Buy S2 now and pay 24 pounds and enjoy all the S2 content.... When S3 comes out you will only have to pay an additional 12 pounds = 36 pounds in total

choice 2. Stay as a demo and have only 3 cars and 1 track... Then when S3 comes out pay 36 pounds all at once..

In multiplayer the hosts can set a handicap for each car.. So if I go and drive the FOX around AS-Club in Singleplayer with no handicaps I can get 1:01's.. BUT if I go play online the host might of set a handicap, so I might only get 1:03's without changing anything..

Count me in... The only thing I wish that they had in the patch was digital spedos... For people with great resolution it is fine, but my spedo look like a blur right now, so I just guess where 80 km/h is when driving through the pits... Oh well, everything else that is new in this patch makes up for the removal of the digital spedo by about 10000 times

I doubt there is a mod because that would be almost impossible to program.

On a track there is only one path that is programed for the cars to take, but on an autocross track there can be a million different layouts. There is almost no way for the AI to follow the track, they would just drive through the barrier because in their programmed path there is no barrier in the way.

If the AI were programmed to reconize when something was in their way then they wouldn't hit much, but they would never find a perfect line.

I just thought of something... In the new test patch you can press #4 on ur keyboard and see the path that the AI are driving in the track..

So what if you make your autocross track.. THEN choose a special option that draws the AI / path line as you drive around the track. After the computer programs the AI to follow the path that you just drove and calculates the AI's car specs so it doesn't drive off the track.

This would once again be TONS of work, but it is the only way I can think of a way for the AI to drive around an autocross track.

Yah, I am not into being perfect so I just change how I drive for each class rather than each car. Probably loose like .20 of a second but w/e.

I am using NO CLUTCH pedal, so I don't have to blip the throttle on downshifts

Normal cars:

Upshift: Lift throttle 1/2 of the way right when u shift.

Downshift: Just shift down.

GTR cars:

Upshift: Lift throttle 1/3 of the way right when u shift.

Downshift: Just shift down.

Formulas:

Upshift: Lift throttle 1/4 of the way right when u shift.

Downshift: Just shift down.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :Don't know if it's a bug... but is there an automatic way of converting all setups into the 3 letter prefix variants? It's going to take bloomin' ages to rename all those setups!

I have the same problem...
I don't think this is a bug. But where else can I post this?

I have thousands of setups and it will take at least 24 hours to manually convert them all the the three letter prefix.

Doesn't everyone else have this problem? so there must be an easier way to get it done

Yah, I am asumming u already have LFS installed right now and are just playing the demo. soooo...

Go to LFS.net.. Read all the stuff about buying a voucher/license. Then choose S2 and it costs 24 pounds. After you will make a password and username... THEN go start up Live For Speed and on the main page. In the left bottom corner it should say "Unlock Live for Speed"
Click on that then type in ur password and username.. Then go and start playing.

If you want to change sound files / DDS files or anything, MAKE A BACK-UP OF ALL DEFULT FILES!!!

Agree with u there Gizz. It would be nice to see some RL tracks and cars, but obviously a lot of ppl will get way to worked up about them not being 1000000% perfect.

As for advertising and the V1 Championship, Scawen said that the people who signed up for the show will be tested on LFS BEFORE they ever enter a car, so in this way I think it will help LFS quite a bit.

Just like that Forza T.V. show on Speed, they showed the racers playing Forza 2 a lot in between RL races. I am guessing this is what they will also do in the V1 show.

Either way, this will help LFS to some extent, just need to wait and see.

I have to admit... I almost laughed all the way through the first part... But once the drifting started it was too too bad. Better than my first vid.
