This really looks like a half-assed work when I compare to previous lfstweaks, not only is it more limited but has plenty of bugs that seem random.

So, I set FZ5 ai on the grid, then pick up XRT for tuning, set up values and go race, but I have to hold off all the way because that FZ5 is slow. End race and check FZ5 values, only 290hp 3.6 flat 4. Obviously possible to edit other than demo cars only.

Ok, remove ai from grid and select XRG and set 8L V10, only to find out in game it's only 2 litre V4. This is most likely saloon class restrictment in lfs (max cyls and displacement) and has nothing to do with lfstweak, but as such should be mentioned somewhere.

Kyoto oval in MRT is so difficult, getting all that power and torque down.

Threads like this are to be digested with chips, soda and humour. It's the same "side A versus side B with side C being bystander" every time. Maybe it's time to invent something new to argue about with valid arguments that are based on Actual Facts instead of personal opinions. :munching_

Every time I see someone mention that drifting takes no skill, I have to wonder if makers of that argument have ever tried it in LFS with the car's real steering lock and proper controllers, drifting until tires get a puncture from heat. If you spin even once, I'd say it does take some talent.

Having played gtr2 online numerous times, I have to comment on LFS' joining to servers.

Example: You feel like having a race, load server list ok, notice there's a server with two free racer slots, click on it and join. Now, you're getting ready to start racing while in a mood that you could enjoy it a lot, "a player is disconnecting" what the... ok, another try. Click on ok first, then start joining again, loading track etc. "a player is connecting" !!! "#¤#"¤. Hit that green button really hard and try joining again, and hope a player isn't doing anything. "Server is full/a player is disconnecting/a player is connecting/a player is." and you're ready to summon demons and ritually sacrifice your pc.

Similar case to above happened to me 5 attempts in row with either player disconnecting or connecting and finally server full.

I never have had anything like that happen in any of the 50+ multiplayer games I have played or tried, so I think LFS is quite "special".

Controller also affects how fast one can drive with setups that are not balanced.

With little steering degrees (180'-270') it is practically impossible to spin without driving over grass while exiting a corner hard, or get punted by another vehicle. Try your 'feels ok' setup with the car's real lock and you will notice that the setup is everything but in balance to be competitive.

It is possible though to create a setup for cheap wheels that is in balance, but it requires much more careful testing because you will keep missing the little quirks that would show easily with more lock.

Looks like a flat spot to me, is pretty common in long races when you forget to conserve tires.

Very nice editing and for a change the res was enough to make for quality picture instead of the common pixelated blurry soup.

In fake drifting you're supposed to go fast and not leave skidmarks.

Quote from LFSn00b :Feint Technique is one of the most used technique for drifting.


Pic tells more that 1000 words.
Or something like that


Woot 1,700th post.

Which way are you attempting to approach that corner in the picture?

Also, which way are you attemping to spin in that picture?

Solution is clear as ever, banish LFS because it is being used for drifting.

I've used 4xAA 16xAF with noobtv in both windowed and full screen, no problems.

How about requiring a racing license that costs 1500 euros, like a real driver's license. On top of that only allow 720 degree force feedback wheels with three pedals and proper shifters. That would keep the wreckers off the track and leave the hardcore simmers in peaceful racing heaven.

Quote from dev :I would also like to se the unlocks removed. For one simple reason. My little brother playes on my PC, he runs LFS, and gets banned on like 20 servers because he thinks crashing is fun, and I can't lock and unlock LFS 5 times a day

Simple solution, have user profiles in windows and deny your bro's access to lfs.

Imagine racing in a field of 20 in any direction on such road, must be so very boring, rather be doing rounds at airfield.
