Yeah, LFS is SO expensive. Costs more than a car. Didn't you guys know you can get a super duper car for like 20 pounds??

All this crap 'i'm saving for a car' or 'i'm saving for a bike' is just SO stupid. 20 pounds is nothing compared to the price of the car.

Quote from R1K89 :

Yeah, That's true . I can even drift in a XFG or (believe it or not) if i try hard, then i can drift in a UF1000...

Correction, you can slide FWDs.

Yeah, i'm wondering that too...

I just do not rant enough about no need for a special car. Is a 180/200SX a special car? Nope. Can it drift? Goddamn YES!

One question. is she interested in LFS at all? Because if one is interested in anything, he or she will try, try and try until he or she is good at that thing. I know i'm not interested in german at school and i'm doing poorly there

Am i blind?? I see no pics!! The names of the layout tell me nothing to be honest.

Quote from Jamexing :

FZ84R:

FZ with V8 4.5L twin Turbo/Intercooler and rear-biased (5-40% front torque bias) 4WD. Oh, it has 750hp, FAT powerband (90% max torque at 1500rpm!) and minimal (unadjustable) downforce (just enough to stop it from getting too twitchy at high speeds).

And just where would you put the engine? On the back seats? Well, no more RR then. And that engine coupled with 2 turbos in race spec would probably be capable of producing 1000 bhp. Or more.

Quote from mrbogeyman :

Edinburgh for example.

I thought about that too. But imagine, with weather in S3 it would be rain, rain, rain. i'd like to see a South African, Jamaican or some other 'warm place' city with the track running by the coastal promenade, with palm trees lining behind the wall, the ocean (like in Fern). I'd basicly like a city, that is on the coast, has a modern promenade section and let's say an old style city centre with the race running through it. Can you say cobble stone roads???

AFAIK this is actually the Docks track.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Some kind of a drift car

Here we go again... :rolleyes:

Quote from Scrabby :

XRR is good to drift!

You have GOT to be kidding!!

You mean the docks?

Can people read people's posts???

Read what tristan said. No need to add anything to the game. You just have to find out how to get data from outsim and convert it to useable data for this cushion. That's all.

Damn i'm too late. Knew it's a TT too. The obvious Audi Nuvlari grill and the lights that don't fit any A model. The new TT then!

All about the looks. D1 cars look like ricers. Yes, they do. They have freaking neons!!! Kei Office Silvia had BLUE ones! illepall

Quote from jarre :

And I know drift cars are stock cars that has been tweaked. But so is most race classes aswell... D1 cars has different suspension, different tyres, more steering lock and yes, more horse power.
Why is everybody so against drifters? Draggers have got their special track so why can't the drifters get their?

READ my post, dammit, READ it.

D1 cars have upgraded suspensoin. Race cars have that too. It's not a neccesety. They DO NOT (i repeat, DO NOT!!!) use special tyres. D1 uses road tyres, as i said in my post before (which you have not read (apparently)), they use Bridgestone Potenza RE-0i, Advan Neova, Dunlop Direzza and simmilar tyres. Top of the line, highest gripping road tyres. Which you can buy (for a large amount of money, but still, you can. Oh, there's a possibility they are illegal in sweden). More horsepower is there just so they can press the gas and slide. And slide for a while. D1 drifters can drift with 150 BHP. They are that good. Again, it's not a neccesety. Special drift tracks... Where did you get that idea? D1 uses race tracks (yes, race tracks. Irwindale is an oval that has a layout inside, a bit different, but others are race tracks). They just take a section of the track that can be linked nicely. Usually it's a left-right/right-left combination. It can have more corners too. The more, the harder it is to judge in D1.

If you can't drift with the XRT it doesn't mean nobody can. Heck, i can (and i was a drifter, turned racer now) so don't go 'everybody is against drifters'. That's not true. Persoanly i'm against drifters that want 'special' cars and tracks. It's NOT needed. It's not real too. Learn how to drift. For more about that, visit http://www.lfs-torque.net/

EDIT: Oh, special tyres. This was suggested. It was suggested that a very hard and high gripping tyre would be brought in. Those 2 don't go very well with each other. It would be possible to bring just a very hard tyre that would also give you almost no grip. So it's almost pointless. You can drift with red tyres very well. I did 16 laps on BL1 non-stop with one set of tyres before they poped. Lost both of the rear in 6th lap on Kyoto Long. Did spin a few times but hey. It's doable.

A 'proper' drift car is a normal road car. Like an XRT. 'Drift tyres' are high grip road tyres. Like potenza RE-01, Advan neova, etc. illepall

What's with all the drifters requesting 'special drift cars' and 'special drift tracks'??? Jesus Christ, everything that is drifted with or drifted on in real life is just normal every day stuff!! Okay, drift specials may have hydraulic handbrakes, MAYBE they have more steering lock but that's it. Oh and in D1 they have shitloads of bhp. You can drift with a stock 200SX. illepall

Quote from duke_toaster :

I don't see the need for evening : the current car class system needs changing as follows.

GTR1: McLaren F1 clone GTR (mid engine, NA, RWD), EB110 clone GTR (mid engine, Turbo, 4WD) and a Lister Storm clone GTR (front engine, NA, RWD).
GTR2: LXR (LX6 based), FZR and Raceabout GTR.
GTR3: XRR, FZR, RBR
GTR4: UFR, XFR, BMW 1 series clone GTR.

This would need more cars I know, but it's the best way to sort it

GTR3: XRR, FXR, RBR?

Using RBR TOurnament for a National Cup and it's good. Sadly i suck at RBR and i only complete about 10% of all stages

RevengeR same here, games are expensive as hell. Luckely none of them offer me no interest. Except LFS that is

Bout the price comparison, have no idea. Ciggies are over 2€ a pack, fuel (98 octane) is a bit over 1€ pr litre, haven't got a clue about bread, even less for weed(!), i only know how much beer costs in pubs, 24 or 30 minutes of electric go-karting (i can't remember but i think it's an 8 minute session there) and i haven't got a clue about the other stuff. I don't work (and i'm 17 years old) so i don't know what's the minimum wage.

What if someone that has a licence gives the DL link to someone that hasn't got a licence? Or even easer, sends the files to demo user or hosts them somewhere public? Encrypt the cars, only option.

One of the other racers online might be a middle-aged woman from the Victorian era. Or maybe someone had a relative who died of shit - they might get upset.

The only thing i'm upset by is your avatar Kev illepall

A friend told me about it. He got me hooked almost 3 years ago now. He told me about LFS when i was still running P166. Then got a P4, quickly DLed S1 demo and never quit since

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I still feel though that Fern Bay is slightly lacking compared to the other tracks, which is disappointing seeing that some FE layouts are my favourite tracks in LFS. (FE1/MRT to note one). I wish that Eric could put even 1/2 of the time he put into BL into FE, to make it look up to par with the other tracks.

Quote from Flotch :

yes they are fun (except FE), nice and beautiful!! Amazing job Mr Eric

You can do the nordschleife if you have the time

Actually i think FE is very nice as it is. Maybe some new textures or so, but definetly no remodeling! Maybe some new distance boards. All in all i like the ruggedness of FE. GTR on Black for example is a freaking rollecoaster!!! So fast and so tight!

The XR GT IMO is good enough. You'd probably be surprised by the lack of performance. I mean an Apexi tuned version is putting out 150 bhp. At times the GTT feels slow. And it has a hundred more. Don't blindly believe animes. They are cartoons after all.

About that up and down track... BATHURST!!

About AE86... The XR GT is quite close to it. I know drifters would love it because of Initial D. But it's a real car, licencing problems. And it's not THAT great. I mean, it has a live rear axle. it's just an image. I'm not going out on drifters, heck, i used to be a full time drifter, now i still (rarely) do it.
