His online stats do say 29.68 though. The world record is 31.44 so I guess with a lot of drafting you could pick up almost 2 seconds.

31.74 according to lfsworld

I'll have to free up some time soon to give this a go.

For a T1 crash, you could get out of your car and pull the wrecker out of his car to start punching him. :-)

-1 for getting out of car though

The reflection of the tv doesn't seem to match what is actually on the tv screen.

It's way too easy to surpass a time trialed program and use it for as long as you'd like.

In my opinion it looks similar to the Dodge Viper, with a really messed up rear end.

Quote from Jamexing :

Lack of excess mass does wonders for increasing moment of inertia

I think you need to retake a physics or dynamics class or something. A vehicle with more mass is harder to stop, i.e, has more inertia. And moment of inertia has to do with rotation about an axis.

Definitely RBR if you enjoy rally racing Especially with the newly found(for me) online racing, where we even had a little LFS community RBR rally going for awhile. Quite fun :-)

I just feel embarrassed from the past few posts. And feel bad that I'm going to continue this offtopic-ness here. You guys need to stop complaining...it's never ending crap that Scawen has to face here. The forum complains because we dont get a test patch for a long time, so here Scawen is coding like crazy to please us on a near daily basis by providing new fixes, however small they may be. The big changes are INCOMPATIBLE and require tons more coding and greater amounts of time. Eventually these will get done. But the complaining won't even end there. Then you guys will complain that he's taking too long to release a patch. This is ridiculous. Some people are so ungrateful. Way to treat the creator of the game we all love.....

Listened to this before but it still freaks me out when I listen to it with my eyes shut. Seriously sounds like someone is in my apartment doing it.

Quote from george_tsiros :

so the "oncoming traffic" will see a car in front of it... and drive straight in it. and the fault is that the poor guy stalled his car. set aside that there could have been an accident, malfunction, or whatever, you claim it is the *stalling* that is the risk here. yes. perfect.

i think you prefer automatic because you are incompetent and can't drive stick without stalling, or you are lazy and do not want to do the work, you want others to do it for you. you just want it easy.

The cars I drive are manual, so no I don't prefer automatic. I'm just agreeing that the possibility of stalling is a risk for an accident.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

And who the hell rolls into a train line after they stall? The first thing anyone with a brain would do is hit the brakes. But then that isn't a risk anyway, the only time you stop at a train line is if the gate is down, which means a train is going past, if you stalled when you started going again there wouldn't be a train to hit you. Where is the risk?

Where I live our railroad crossings don't have gates. We have to either notice the blinking lights, or just come to a stop before the tracks, look both ways, and then continue across. Which is where the problem of stalling comes about. I haven't stalled on tracks myself, but I have stopped at some tracks, saw a train coming, but quickly darted across in front of the train to beat waiting for the entire thing to go past. I could easily see someone trying this and stalling and not starting their car in time to move out of the way. There is even a video on youtube or somewhere of a trucker stalled on some tracks and getting slammed by a train. It happens.

The amount of fuel does change your lap times. Watch some hotlaps. All I've seen run with the minimum amount possible and I've always done my hotlaps with the 5% or whatever fuel limit. I always noticed the difference when running the Sauber on the oval where it's pretty easy to run consistent times. Once the tank gets near empty my times get better.

Quote from george_tsiros :

(how a stalled car is a danger, just because it stalled is beyond me, but anyway)

At an intersection a car in the opposite direction might be waiting at the light to turn left(yielding for an open spot to make the turn), and the driver starts to go in front of you with plenty of room, but doesn't give it enough gas and stalls it. He is now stalled in the middle of on-coming traffic. That is one instance when stalling is dangerous. Another could be over some railroad tracks

As for the parking brake, I use it every time I turn the engine off. Just habit really, have always done it and probably always will.

Quote from Tweaker :

Heheh, well speaking of scooters, I don't think I'll ever visit India http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM

illepall WTF! That is absolutely insane!

The kid had to atleast know to hold the clutch in to start the car. Unless this car does not have that safety option equipped? Every manual I've driven had to have the clutch pushed down before the starter would even turn over the engine.

At the end do I hear "Don't worry you'll get a new bike" ?? This is pretty funny. Stupid kid, even dumber Dad or whoever gave him the keys.

Aside from the accusations, this vid bares a definite resemblence to the real life arab drift videos :-) Good job.

I'd be up for some more races :-)

I think I posted my creation before but can't remember


EDIT: For people asking about color, there is a button in Pivot that says "Colour" ;-)

Death metal is definitely not what emo's listen to.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

easy.
the whole point why i need such radical steering movement is that my back always trys to overtake me. whys that? cuz as soon as i acclerate im on FULL throttle. with wheel and pedals u can acclerate slow and wont have such aggressive reactions of the car (less steering /slower)

Depends how you have the mouse setup. My braking and throttle is also analog by using the y-axis of the mouse for those inputs.

But back on subject, I hate this RAC setup Only tried one lap and managed a 1:41.xx...couldn't stand to do another lap lol

Quote from RoCkBiGdAvE :

Also, i don't know if this is just me or everyone playing the PC demo, the car always turned left... not full lock left, kinda slightly left, like an uncalabrated joypad, even though i had no pad / wheel or anything attached at the time, only the keyboard.

Mine actually was turning to the right. Quite annoying, but still surprisingly easy to beat the AI first time through.

Rofl, this is great :-D

I installed the game, played the demo(and finished it completely wtf), and uninstalled. Took all of like 25 minutes to do this. The demo was just boring and too quick to finish. The autosculpt is nice and the graphics look nice. Steering input was lagging. Plus forced to use keyboard??? Lame. I didn't have much fun with this demo, but I'll keep my eye on the full version still.

D/L'ing now from gamershell.com @ 440KB/sec. Should have it in about 20 minutes. I've been playing a lot of Most Wanted lately and having a blast.
