Quote from Davo :

I'd say between $50-80 depending on condition. make sure the pedals don't stick and all the buttons work.

Are you talking Aussie dollars, Davo? Seems pretty cheap...

Quote from KurtG85 :

I used to have to take it apart literally every week to redo the tape but ive been playing for about 3 months now with absolutely perfect accel input, no spiking whatsoever. You could try that at your own risk if you want.

I'm in exactly the same position with my pedals - every week or two I need to take them apart and re-seat the pots to stop the spiking. It will be perfect for about 2 days then slowly get worse and worse. I've only had this problem with the accelerator; the brake pedal has always been fine.

In short, the DFP pedals are rubbish. I will try your suggestion re: the piece of tape and see how it works for me. Cheers.

Bontemps,

I'm pretty sure the 'lesson' you've 'learned' today was...

Most people on this forum (forums in general?) are wankers.

At least, that's the lesson that I've learned!

Imagine going over 500 on as national track
what a Rush

I'm with you, Dennis - Mechanik for patch V would be a great addition for LFS.

Yep....nice going. You can join Preston.

I'll have no more comments on this, as it is now a waste of my time.

Are you a schoolteacher, by any chance?

Was Bontemps banned for 'wrecking'?

I think he should receive the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

Are you using the setup I posted as well?

At the risk of sounding obvious, don't bog it down off the line. Avoiding wheelspin in first is impossible if you want to run a quick time; that said, don't spin the wheels too much. If you change into second at the right time, it should just hook up in second. Then just leave it floored in second 'till you cross the finish line.

I've got a replay here for a 7.07 I just did. Good luck getting it to work because I've found it tricky watching replays of tweaked cars.

Here's my tweak and setup. It says 7.13 but I actually went a 7.09 with it yesterday.

I've managed a 7.09 I think. I'll post the screenie, replay and tweak when I get home from work.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, funnybone2

Yes, sometimes heavier cars seem to handle better!

Managed to get down in the 1:05s with a modified version of your tweak, ATC Quicksilver. Basically just gave it more power and played with the wheel size a little bit.

Quote from funnybone2 :

just make the power 450-580hp slicks and maximum downforce

You can't change the downforce with LFSTweak V.

450-580hp is not, in my experience, enough to get you into the 1:06's.

But if it's that easy, let's see your times/tweak.

Uh... no.

This for the fastest times, full stop.

Run whatever tyres, engine, wheel size, etc., you like. Anything (as long as it's made with LFS Tweak in the 'usual' (ie., XFG, XR or XRT) way) goes.

It's that simple.

Yes, I am this miserable, arrogant and condescending in real life. And I think that's the reason I have quite a number of friends actually. Much rather this than some 'follow the leader, what-he-says, trend following sheep.

Not EVERYTHING I post is self-important bile. Only last week I said something nice on this very forum!

Ah, the old 'I-just-say-what-I-really-think-at-least-I'm-honest' defence; a favourite hiding place for pricks the world over.

As for your attempt at humour, you manage to be simultaneously self-deprecating and self-important. Well done!

How's the race car going? Was it F3 or F3000? I can't, for the life of me, remember...

Quote from tristancliffe :

If opening LFS to modding means more people who use underlined garbage as a medium of conversation, then that just seals it.

Some games NEED modding to work (rCraptor for example, which would be nothing without mods as the dev team have zero understanding of car dynamics, although it is only just above nothing WITH modding), others don't.

LFS doesn't need it at all.

If it happens, I hope there is a way to stop people like you being able to mod it - perhaps a £100 Dev-Kit fee and licence.

Jesus Christ, Tristan, what the **** is your problem? Are you this miserable, arrogant and condescending in real life? You must have absolutely no friends. The only thing you ever post is self-important bile.

1:06.68! It's a one-man show so far, but I'm sure there are plenty of you out there with quicker times...

Managed a 1:08.33 with a bit of setup tweaking. Here is the setup and the replay.

Following on from the LFSTweak drag challenge, I thought it would be a good idea for people who like tweaking AND turning to have a place to compete and compare.

Quite simply, post your best times for Blackwood, your tweak and your car setup.

I'll get the ball rolling...

1:09.75

Show us what you've got!

Cheers for your sounds Phill, they are great!

Thanks traxxion!

Hi All,

Recently I noticed that all messages during a multiplayer game where staying in the top left corner of the screen, rather than disappearing after a certain amount of time. I must have pressed something that made them stay there. How can I get them to disappear again?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kris-Is-Awesome,

You should check your original thread in the LFS Beginners Forum. It is chock-full of good advice, especially from yours truly.

I suggest you re-read my posts for a few nuggets of wisdom.

Stay in school and stay out of trouble.

Sam

Hey guys, thanks for the positive response and the warm welcome.

You know, I was thinking, I bet if you typed "LFS CRACKER" into google it would come up with a webpage devoted to to people just like Kris-is-awesome, people who have been sent insane by their love of LFS but their lack of money.

Ha ha ha, I am only kidding of course. But gee it would be funny to see what came up if you DID type that into a search engine!

I would like to take a moment to reiterate the fact that I do not condone or promote illegal activity of any kind. Law and order is very important to me. I feel that it is up to us all to lead by example, especially when young people such as Kris-is-awesome come to us for advice. So don't sell crack, Kris, or do anything else illegal. It was just a joke.

Good luck coming up with the funds, Kris-is-awesome. I'm sure you'll find a way.
