Quote from Gunn :

It is not uncommon on a highway to see a truck or bus use his turn signal to let you know it is clear to pass. The signal used is the side you are to pass on. This is usually on a road that has one lane running either way. In these cases the driver of the large vehicle is signalling to tell you what you are to do, not what he is going to do.

well i wouldnt go on the right hand side of a lorry that was signalling right, i would wait until i knew it was ok to pass it rather than someone else being my eyes for me.

its common sense to signal what YOURE going to do not what you think the other driver should do. you dont indicate on the roads to tell people where they should go? illepall

you learn the track in a FWD and when you take the RWD to that same track configuration you take that knowledge with you, you then just need to adjust to the car because you know the track.

ukct.net Blackwood UFR XFR is up and running! For added variety, it's 15 laps and a pitstop IS required. Have at!

me too!

i use a short cut in the start menu to lfs.exe that still works ok im a bit baffled by this one.

i can make my own "new colours" fine and it works, just i dont have any bog standard races colours

used windows to extract it to lfs s2 folder?

Whenever i select a car i havent raced since i installed the patch, it says cannot load colours or skin. and i noticed under the "new colours" button that none of the default colour schemes are there now, i dont race them but I couldnt figure out why i lost all those default LFS colours?

i kinda noticed the lack of certain combos before the patch.

i think its lack of people too.

Quote from Gargantula :

How did that happen?

what happened to UFR/XFR sometimes i see the ATC guys racing and jump on that server but sometimes I load up LFS and see theres none of that car racing and just exit.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Sometimes I say sorry no matter what because it's easier to just stick your hand up and admit blame than upset someone, but I do sometimes despair at how fickle the LFS population is. In the real racing I do appologies are rarely made, a race is long (I do enduro) and it's hard to hold a grudge until the chequered flag - you just have to get on with it.

Saying sorry seems to be somewhat mandatory in LFS - whether it's your own fault or not. I've probably got a reputation for crashing by my name appearing in big pink letters on everyones screen saying "sorry" every 5 laps, but better than then a teenage hormone junkie throwing a hissie fit !

too true this, i say sorry even if i didnt hit someone but got wobbly on exit of a corner or something

its the solar flares they get in the way of it

i thought that the wheels were shiney enough already, as the cars go past you get a little flash of a reflection as the light catches it, seems just right to me.

now brake dust, thats a good idea!

Quote from Gabkicks :

yeah i can feel bumps and even when i drive over the rumble strips i can feel it, well... rumbling.
i also feel the wheel going slightly light when understeering.

me too

heheh

yeah you can actually see the tyre get thinner on F9

if youre losing grip early its because the tyres are going past "optimum temperature", youll see what it is in the garage on the tyres section. if you get like 10 or 20 degrees above youll start to notice slip of the wheels. try to keep those temps at a nice green colour

oh yes and the thinner the tyre is the quicker it cools down

theres 2 types of tyre marks right, the short term ones and the long term racing line one thats on the track. maybe its not just from skids but from traffic in the corner that does it?

i used to have a similar setup to that except it was an xp1800, it would struggle in 1024 res in most games when the action got intense

someones ugly mug broke the avatars!

to add to that, set yourself goals to beat even if its a tenth off your time, or to get round without any major mistakes, then to get better places etc.

also for PBs you might wanna consider that you might need to end the previous lap quickly, like AS National, you want a really sweet exit out of the final chicane to be on for a PB the next lap...

also note that not all players are getting experience in the BF1 as the rest of you who sat there refreshing LFS.net waiting for the patch. not saying i didnt :P

and then everyone gets punctures for laps after?

when in the game go to controller options and click calibrate. then press brake, accelerator, and turn the wheel left to right, hope that helps.

i cant wait for this update, its going to be sweet!

dont throw up on my avatar

i think it would be nice to have somewhere other than LFS official site to get the download from. everyone dreads patch day, not because of the juicy patch theyre getting but because of the bottleneck of everyone wanting to get it at the same time.
