Quote from bmwe30m3 :
I have played around 30 min. of it so far, so can't comment more.

The unlocking part applies more to vehicles. It's pretty fast to unlock attachments for the weapons.

It already takes a good deal of RPG shells to take down a tank, and if they've unlocked reactive armor. You're pretty much screwed. You also got the proximity scan which makes it impossible to sneak kill a tank as an infantry unit. I remember in BF2, the tanks had distorted views. You could ninja them a lot easier and it was a lot more balanced.

Quote from Bose321 :Haha. I have to agree EA sucks, but the kind of magic DICE produces is just... :lovies3d:

BF2 was way better for its time than BF3 is for it's time today. I was really hyped about BF3 at first but the more I play BF3, the more I realize how unbalanced it is and how crappy the networking is with bullshit LERP lag compensations with client side hit detection.

With BF2 in mind, BF3 really is a disappointment in many aspects. It's all about unlocking shit, so everyone just wants to score as efficiently as possible. Assault is OP as sheit with their long range, high accuracy, high RPM weapons. It doesn't really make sense to me that the medics should have the best weapons.

I won't buy another BF game.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :In patch Y (I think), when Scawen updated the gearbox model, he made a conscious decision to make the distinction between sequential and H-Gate gearboxes.

The reason that he doesn't force H-Gate on cars that have them and allows sequential is becuase not everyone owns a device capable of H-Pattern shifting. However, it doesn't really make sense (nor is the gearbox capable of) doing an H-Gate shift in a FBM or an F1 car, so sequential is forced. The FZR got forced into an H-Pattern to try to slow it down a little bit in the scope of balancing.

I doubt Scawen would reverse this decision considering it was a conscious and deliberate (and probably a lot of code) decision to implement gearboxes like this.

I agree that the F1's should be forced sequential gearboxes. But cars like the XRR and XFR are cars that I'd probably prefer with an H-box. I end up prefering FZR and UFR over them just because of the gearbox pattern.

And you can choose to drive all cars with sequential gear boxes more or less, so why not the other way around?

Quote from Karlokarlo :Alright so, this is my suggestion.
I'd like to suggest that in future patches if it could be added, like other people can hear your engine sound and you could hear their engine sound so if i like edit my engine on FZR , i will be hearing it only on my fzr and on the other racers FZR's will be the sounds that they made or the default if they didnt edit. ^^

Would be nice but I think people will try to exploit this (make their car completely silent or ultra loud)

Quote from bmwe30m3 :BlueFlame, lets take it like this then:


2*apples=(360 apples/4 apples)
1. we do brackets first so 360 apples/4 apples = 90 apples
2. we know that 2*the amount of apples is the amount that we want to know
3. 2* the amount of the apples is 90 apples, to know the amount we want to know, we divide it by 2.
4. so if 2*apples is 90, then we get that 90/2=45
5. so the amount of apples is 45.

You don't divide 360 apples among 4 apples. You divide 360 apples into 4 baskets or something like that.

Quote from Bose321 :Haha nice. I bet it's better than a G27.

In terms for portability, most definitely. A good way to play LFS when travelling and stuff I guess.

I don't really think LFS is the right game for those kind of mods. However, I think it would be cool to be able to enable some tweak style options on multiplayer servers which aren't just client side.

Could you explain what you mean by bug? It looks normal to me except for the DDS mods.

He's usually good at figuring out settings and stuff like that though. He's also good at googleing and researching.

Quote from Bose321 :That's where I stopped reading.

Alright, I'm not trying to convince you anyways. I'm just disagreeing with you.

Quote from Bose321 :You don't even know which wheel you're talking about.

I know that my friend bought a Fanatec wheel (probably thanks to you TBH) that he can't use the way he wants. Shouldn't all their wheels have acceptable FFB settings? Are there certain cheaper Fanatec wheels that are there just to fool people?

My friend have a fanatec wheel. Not sure which one (it doesn't have the orange casing but it's got the porsche wheel on it). He's been trying and trying to get responsive yet non wobbly force feedback settings on his wheel. He says that the only way some people have fixed it is to use Logitech drivers but that it didn't work for him. I base my dislike for Fanatec on my friends experiences with it.

With the proper settings, the G25 (and G27 for that matter) have a very linear and mechanical feel to the FFB response and stability. It doesn't start wobbling at high speeds and it's still right on target angle within a very short amount of time (even on high force settings).

The G25 also have versatile components for different kinds of sim-rig applications. Each individual pedal for instance is it's own component made out of sturdy metal and with pre-drilled and threaded holes they can easily be mounted on different pedal frames (if you want reverse mount pedals that is)

Negatives about the G25 or G27. The biggest downside of the G25 is the loud noise it makes, which is reduced in the G27 with the helical cut gears. Some people have also had problems with their shifters, certain gears won't engage properly. I have no experience with this problem what so ever. I guess it's a matter of bad luck. If you get a faulty shifter, maybe you can get it replaced?

Spiking and flickering in the pedals is another thing. My pedals do that occasionally. I then disassemble and reassemble the pedal which takes about one minute and it's good for another month of active driving. Keep in mind that the potentiometers of my pedals are exposed to dust since I have them reverse mounted. That might be the cause of this.

I've brutally abused my G25 for about 3-4 years (can't remember exactly when I got it but I've been playing quite actively all around this time with a couple of breaks). I've been drifting a lot with it and my drifting style isn't exactly easy on the wheel, so to speak. I've also taken apart all the components as I've done mods. I've also lubed the wheel once.

I love the FFB, versatility in the design and it does what it's supposed to do for a long time (in my case). I dislike the cable management (which I've modded to suit my liking), the loud noise which is fixed with the G27 anyways, and that's about it.

Final words, I love my G25. I think it's a great wheel. There are certain aspects that I just need which the G25 and G27 provides. I bought my G25 when there was no Fanatec around (at least I don't think). My friend seemed to like his Fanatec as he bought it so I'm sure it's a good quality wheel. However, he haven't been able to get it setup properly with FFB (not sure it's even possible) and it's just less versatile to modify to your liking from what I understand..

Would I take a Fanatec over a G27? No way, but it's up to you and what you're looking for in the wheel.

Quote from krslim :Lol, same here, LFS popped into my head for some reason & I thought I bet that patch is still not out.
You know what will happen, by the time this new tyre model comes out it will already be outdated due to there being no tyres or roads in the future & everyone either teleporting or using automated flying machines

So then LFS should become a teleportation or automated flying machine simulator instead? :P I'd still be happy with roads and tyres in LFS

I'd get the G27 over the 911 one. Trust me when I say that G27 is one heck of a wheel. The G25 is awesome and the G27 is practically the same wheel with helical cut gears to make it more silent

Quote from Myffe :Except some people can't stand cargame because of the 9001 different classes

EDIT: or the ladder system, if I want to race with gtr, I wan't to do it immediately. Not like in cargame where you have to start with xfg or xrg...

Indeed, which is why I always get bored of cargame. You race against LX6's and stuff and the fastest thing you are allowed to drive is FXO.

Quote from VinceKouki :yea, when i increase it to a point (95 ingame) the FFB stops being smooth, and feels "shaky"

You could see if it's strong when it calibrates. Check the profiler settings.

I don't play it that much, mainly because I cba getting all the G25 stuff out. But I still have interest in the development (may it be slow)

1. Very realistic handling (with the proper input device)
2. Very good networking
2.1 No damn lerping tyvm
2.2 Very good server system
2.3 Chat system

3. Graphics are good (using high-res textures and ENB series)
4. Diversity. You can play the game however you want. Some people disagree though but this is my opinion.
5. No EA money hunger

Quote from Denny12 :@ All cruisers: You want open world map, sirens, and all other nonsenses, but you are just blaming each other for your problems and spamming forums. You think you will get any priority in LFS with that?

Because it's totally 'all the cruisers' who have been posting memes for the last page.

Quote from Denny12 :Also love how the owner of the server wants his topic to be closed just because he run out of arguments..

Actually, he wants the topic closed because it turned into an argument, which wasn't the intention of the topic. I bet he could keep on arguing for pages if he wanted to.
