Quote from ingope :Wow what a jump :-)

Good luck to him, hope he will not "vote to restart the game" in his
first real race ;-)

Well, it's not his first real race, 2 years ago he jumped into the Opel Astra cup, then last year he raced in the Clio cup, where he won 10 out of 13 races, and now he races in the Leon cup, so he kinda knows what to do. I guess

Hey guys. Some of you might now that Norbi races in the Hungarian Seat Leon Cup, and now he has a chance to prove his talent on a higher level.
On Sunday, he will race against 30 Porsche drivers on the Hungaroring, just before the F1 guys.
Eurosport 1 broadcasts the race, starting at 10:15 UTC. Wish him good luck

Quote from southamptonfc :Jeezuz, do you own a sherman tank? My exige does 9l / 100km when I'm driving like a maniac!!

Anyway, I beat you in lfs, I get 35.7l / 100km.

21135 litres in total, or bp or shell

I have one of these (I have 2 to be correct, but the other one we took apart)





Actually, it could do around 17l / 100km on paper, but I dont think I could get close to that in the first 2 months:rally_dri

Im around 32l / 100km in LFS.
TBH, I wont do much better on the streets, if I can get 25l / 100km out of my ride I'll be happy

LFS, TDU, NR2003, RACE, some rFactor and thats all I guess. Sometimes I play other games then racing, but only with friends (Mashed, rocks with 4 players, CRC, some virtua tennis and trd3)
Bah, missed one, im also a big Street Legal RR fun

One day i went to school, didnt sleep too much that night (1-2 hours maybe), and forgot to put my shoes on, so I went to school in my slippers. Was walkin in the hallway, others starred at my height of my leg, I was like 'ok, maybe somethings on the floor'. I didnt even realise I had no shoes on during the class
Class was over, and I accidentally hit the doorstep with my slippers, and hit my tippytoes.
Oh boy, I had 5 more classes that day

Years ago I played with a game called Moorhuhn, and it had a winter edition with frozen chickens and stuff, and when I hit that frozen one the game said Revenge!, and i thought its a cool word (tbh didnt know what it meant back then). Then with my poor english knowledge, i just put an -er at the end to make it a verb. Years went by, and i shortened it to 'rev', simple, sounds good, short and easy to remember

Quote from BBO@BSR :Just for the people who moved the interface to far to the right.
(Then the Interface button is gone)

So when you did something wrong with the X and Y coordinates of the interface then the only way to get the screen back to normal is changing the
SCREEN_CX 0.00
SCREEN_CY 0.00
by hand in the config

Maybe it is helpfull for some (because it took me awhile to find it )

Thanks dude

Dunno if this is a bug, but i accidentally set the interface center position to 0.5, and now i cant click on the interface button, since its out of screen

Quote from Ian.H :They need to know of the new paths before they go fast.. what's the point in making them faster if they can't even stay on the tarmac as it is? First they need some intelligence, then they can think about going faster.. probably why we normally learn to drive in some small-arsed slow shopping car rather than a 800bhp tuned Supra.. it's all about fundamentals

I'd be happy if the AI could actually make a few laps without crashing every time at some place even if I was 10 secs a lap faster.. at least that would provide some overtaking practice.. setting up position to pull off the move etc.. as they currently are, they have a fixed path to follow and god help you if you happen to be on it when they want to be

I'd far sooner AI be worked on that many of the other bits I've seen mentioned recently especially as that area hasn't been touched in 2 years!



Regards,

Ian

I meant smarter under 'faster' which would probably mean recoding the whole AI stuff.

exactly, thats what makes them completely unable to race with.

Personally, i have never raced against the AI, even on my first day in LFS i found them way off my pace. Anyway, it would be cool to see the AI dirving wr close times and do random errors like braking late, sliding on corner exits rather than the actual 'I can do that flatout with 150°C tyres no matter whos on my line like before' thing.

I didnt say its not important, i just said the devs shouldnt mess with such small things until they improve on the AI's speed. They are quite useless right now imo.

Quote from Gentlefoot :Ahh - but if you reduce say downforce and they go faster that's a pretty good indication that you will go faster too with lower downforce. The great thing about AI from a testing point of view is that they are absolutely consistent.

They do need to learn to recover from off track excursions better though. That would make them a whole lot more useable.

The problem with the AIs is that they cant learn 'backwards'. Like they learn how to take a turn, and the more laps they do, the more they hit the wall (like so1 with fo8, after like 30 laps none of em will be able to finish a lap). Also, they cant take a turn on a different line, all of em are stuck to 1 line only. Scawen should improve on their 'IQ' first, then he could give them human-like things like that. Also, smaller updates that would make the game more handleable and practical would be much better.

Still, UF1 is an excellent ball. It has the mass, the shape and everything.

No word from 'The Man' on that one though

This is A racing sim, not a soccer game. Only it's excellence makes it possible to play games like soccer

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :im sorry but what a load of bs.
of course the real fun is in multiplayer, but a lot ppl (including me) do drive from time to time singleplayer against AI (whyever) and it would be nice to have decent AI (more human like) to race with.
actually, i dont think there are much more important things to do, dont forget the AI is still from S1.

Thats what I was talkin bout, no need to give em random start time when they r older than the Mount Everest and even a geico caveman is brighter
And for testing sets with AI's, well, I dont get it. AI would never push to the limit, so it wont really reach the set's limits either. Still, I like to try out my sets myself, although watching em takin AS3 T1 in the BF1 with 95% brake balance on the real is priceless

No need for such improvements on AI side. LFS is really not a singleplayer game, and i dont think there are too many players who actually have fun racing AI cars. They are slow, they r dumb and they are not up to date. If they were, maybe it would be worth doing. LFS has more important problems/things to be corrected/done rather than messing with the AI.

Marked starting position in pre-race screen
RevengeR
S3 licensed
It would be great to have the starting position marked in the menu, since it could be easily seen how many ppl are in, and who is where on the grid. For example, in the hungarian league, after ending the qualification (because of setting wind and stuff) we join in order of the results, and often ppl dont know where they really are on the grid. It wouldnt be hard to memorize the guy in front of you, but it seems its not that easy for some. Picture attached.

Well, here in Hungary they are around 100k € - 200k € (3-4 rooms, 100-200 m2). Still a lot compared to the salary, which is around 300-500 € in average ..

edit: although the mentioned size is actually counts as a big house here.
