I know the feeling! Its great fun!

I didnt get passed once when i did a endurance kart race and was catching and passing loads of racers, however, i was part of a team of 4, so we got thrashed overall!

S2 gets you all the content, S1 gets you the S1 content.

the only difference is the content. clear as mud? you can check the different contents on the cars/tracks section on the official site.

your such a pest tweaker! illepall

Quote from L(Oo)ney :

This is the reply i got after asking one of her friends if she was "fit" - "I told him to tell next person that asks that I'm 3'9 450 pounds of cute, slightly bow legged, and crossed eyed. lol"

She sounds hot to me, so much so i asked her out, she still hasnt replied back yet.

Anyways, happy bday you bow legged, cross eyed sexy thing you.

hehe!

and btw your avatar is nasty! whatever happened to innocent kids...........

my 6800 runs at just under 60deg and gets to about 73deg under load. its a plain old XFX 6800 128Mb.

it has the fan it came with, would it be worth my while putting some paste on there too? is the fan easily removed?

i seriously dont want to mess my GFX card.....but im reasonably competent at this stuff seeing as i build my pc from the ground up.

on another note, how much difference does 'resetting' the thermal paste on the CPU make?
mine used to run at 40deg, and is always at about 49deg now.
ive got a new fan on the way anyway, but i take it this creep in temperatures is just caused by the paste degrading and some dust. (i hoover out my case now and again )

just dont her get addicted like tristan and get LFS tatooed anywhere!

congrats man! you should be able to set up a home LAN soon with all the mini-fordies

no! its not christmas until ive finished courseworks and exams!

16th is when it starts!

which reminds me, ive got a report to finish

if i aint racing on LFS, im racing on my bikes....the pedal kind!

see my signature link below for my badass mountain bike.

ill have to add my road bike to that.........its got uber skinny slick tyres for 50mph flesh/lycra tearing downhill sprints!

figures quoted may not be entirely acuarate! 48mph is my tops so far, then my vision was so blurred from my eyes watering, i thought i better slow down to see the next turn!

have a good one! thanks again for your loverly setups!

Quote from tristancliffe :

Hey, at least some one gained something from this thread, and all because of an accidental hijacking by me mentioning mugs. Fordie is right, I meant the person type of mug, not the beverage type

Is this better?

@tristan: from your piccy "the boy who lived" haha, good one

you should have had LFS tatooed on your head though, not a lightening bolt :P

it would nice if people would stop trying to converse with scawen directly, i think he really has other things he would rather be getting on with.

so leave the devs alone, they havent dissapointed anyone so far!

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

OK BOSS! WILL DO!

im glad you restrained yourself

Speed Soro, you have valid points.

But, the LFS devs have already decided how they are going to make this game for their own reasons. Somehow i dont think you will be persuading them otherwise.

we pay at least 85p a litre here, count yourself lucky! its just come down from 95p a litre.

nice car though

IIRC S2 is meant to be nearly complete physics for that racing that is available at the moment.

Other physics for things such as wet racing will be in S3 i think.
Was the main plan for S3 not just to increase content and features rather than physics?

Quote from RichardTowler :

I disagree, there is a huge chance for a racing simulation to become mainstream, and I don't mean mainstream NFS style. It just has to be good enough to step it to that challenge, as imo there is a huge market just waiting for a simulation that blows everyone away.

for example,

the Gran Turismo series on PS.

I know its not as good, but its as realisitic as it can be (sorta!) on the Playstation. It might be hard for people to play, but its highly popular.

LFS could create and fill this market on the PC. IMO it is one of the easiest games to 'jump in and go'. And with its ease of internet multiplayer there is no reason it cannot become the racing simulation equivalent of World of Warcraft.

IMO

understeer? try GTT

replay will help diagnose this for sure.

it could be that you might be used to NFS "no brakes" cornering

Quote from Tweaker :

Since the Firefox craze started to bloom, I've been using Firefox. I just use it specifically because it has tabbed browsing and just overall a much more comfortable package when browsing the web. Because with IE for example, my computer could accumulate dozens of spyware cases in any given day, and I really hated to clean that crap up. Not to mention IE just has felt 'exploited' on the web, and you get an aura of popups and silly tricks to screw you up. Even with IE addons made to prevent these things, it still feels like poo.

I've tried my hand at Opera, but having used Firefox before that ruined any chances I would switch to that browser. Firefox suits me at the moment.

:iagree:

but to input cars in the first place the '+' is already used. i guess this could be swapped with another symbol. that would mean if you didnt just want to just add/subtract cars you can still input them.

e.g. /cars LX4*LX6

ahhh, ive had this freezing problem recently too.

im not sure if it is related to this, but it sounds similar. LFS would just hang, and then eventually come back. i have no idea what caused it, but it never used to happen until recent patches? its very rare that it does hang anyway.

like bob says, i presumed it was something in the background, but it wasnt anything i could see popping up. myabe just an annoying process

im a 3GHz AMD 64, 1Gb RAM, GForce 6800 128Mb.

Quote from Blowtus :

I agree with Hallen, there are times correcting a slide when the ff is much too strong, it should go very light.
Whether or not people are drift kings is irrelevant to the point that the ff is wrong...

Now, with my old wheel, a thrustmaster, catching a slide was very easy for this reason. The steering would go light and allow you to easily feel where the wheels should be pointing to take you out of the slide.

However, with my MOMO, this isnt the case. I feel as though i have to fight the FF too much to correct as well.

anyway, ive tweaked my settings. will see what happens.

good idea, kind of

I like the idea of there being a car that is fixed in setup. But this isnt realisitic in real life racing.

The closest i can think to where everyone races and is equal, and no setup changes are made, is basic karting.

When you goto a kart centre, all they do is change the fuel load depending on the race length.

I know these karts are pretty basic, but they are tremendous fun! Maybe a slightly more powerful kart could be introduced along with a specific kart track. There are very minimal setup changes that can be made on this level of kart, so it really would be a test of skill. And after all, dont most real racing drivers get recognised for their skill at this level?

I know this wouldnt really give high speed racing or anything, but tbh you dont need that on a nice small windy track. As has been proved, IMO, on some Autocross servers where you race your mates against the clock on a tiny little track. [dSRC] Northern Heights has been running a great little AX setup, with everyone enjoying lapping in the UF1 and learning new lines to get faster times.

Substitute UF1 for a good Kart and it would be tremendous! Eliminate major variation in setups and skill will become even more apparent. Even on the UF1 setups can make quite a difference.

Quote from V8-Supercar :

I am told they work on s2, this I don't quit know, but it's worth a try.

Physics are the same for S1 and S2, Thus setups for the same cars will be perfectly compatible. The ONLY difference between S1 and S2 is the content you unlock.

That is unless your running the OLD S1, i.e. with black windows. Is it still possible to run OLD S1 online?

Quote from mrbogeyman :

hype CAN be good for publicity.

Quote from Tweaker :

But that is like saying the appreciation for seeing what future plans Scawen has in store for us is not welcome because of hype? :zombie:

Come on now, it is about keeping the players interested in what we will get later on, we used to have it a lot, but no more. Don't say a possible sexy screenshot of some hifi cockpit from Eric would not be worth it

well like i said, i am interested in what it being done too, and hype is good for publicity. i maybe should have said: too pressure from people isnt welcome. it just seems to be and endless cycle.

all im saying is we have just had the most recent patch, so putting more pressure on now is a little much.
