even tho ima nV user, mad props to sireric and Scawen for working with each other to sort out the issues.. tis wha a game should have, heaps of support from the devs and manufactures.. dunno how many games have turned arse end up cause of lack of dev support cause distributers bailed out for support..

4 lap drift BW in the XRT.. :P rears where totally fked..

most laps done with pitting while drifting is like 20-30 odd.. got bored of pittin every 2-3 laps

send him to the expo's on the other side of the world, just so it takes him longer to get back home.. :P

dual screen lovin..

i can vouch for the logitech DF (non Pro) bout the levers werkin for accel/brake, i got it under me desk atm.. since i got me DFP, i use the DF for a clutch pedal..

a few nights ago i had a full house, i changed me server to the carpark for a change, was rather amusing for a bit.. gets boring quickly tho..

nah, im a legit demo racer for the time being till i can save up enough for S2.. should be in a week or two tho when i can get it.. then i gotta borrow me mates CC so i can get it.. :P

i like these screen shots i took

yah, that set scared me that badly.. :P

try this set out, tis wha i use for manji and normal drifting..

i did a test run with the set you are using and i almost killed myself.. that was the first drift set ive tryed that i couldnt drift with.. :P

also i noticed you where very shy with the throttle, try using a little more to get the car sliding a bit..

the hard part of drifting is knowing when to start countersteering and learning when it will catch again after sliding the rear about.. there are heaps of drifters @ http://www.lfs-torque.net/

with most of the ppl there, if they see you in a server, they will be happy to teach you how to drift.. all ya gotta do is ask

also join the drift servers and ask about for tips, it dun matter if its the demo or S2, there are heaps of drift servers about

system shock 2 was a damn good game..

Wolf3D
Descent
Quake 1
Super Mario Kart
Gran Turismo

reasoning
Wolf3D - was the first FPS i ever played..

Descent - first proper 3d movement game i ever played, being able to fly through tunnels that go up, down, left right, it blew my mind away

Quake - first 3d Accelerated game i played and opened up the 3D market

Super Mario Kart - it made racing fun, its still damn fun to play when im drunk with me mates :P

Gran Turismo - it brought me into the world of proper racing and what cars can and cant do.. for its time, the physics where amazing..

with all the talk in the other sections about ppl needing to learn how to look left and right, might be a idea to have virtual side mirrors in the bottom left and right of the screen.. they dont need to be big or anything.. prob 150-200 pixles wide should be surfice.. just to give ppl an idea of what is near them..

edit: yeah i know there are working side mirrors, but that is only in the cockpit view and ya can only see them if the zoom has been taken right out, then everything looks gimped cause its been crammed into one monitor

ah ok, didnt know bout that

just a thought, it might be a idea to ban someone a bit easier, with having the admin password and all to a server with just typing

/ban

it will bring up a window like the connections list but with numbers next to the connected clients and put

/ban 3 to ban that person instead of having to type in their full name, this would be really helpful with banning with the server app aswell, due to some clients having black names which makes it a bit hard to see what their name is with a black window

gettin a second screen finally today and i got LFS open atm while im sittin in pit lane atm.. id love to have dual monitor support with the chat window and connections on the second screen.. with all the tire temps, and that kinda stuff aswell on the second screen

ive found the same thing, to get the LFS xfire stats, all i do is ignore the send error report and click on the LFS window.. works fine..

only info i could find was he was drivin for Toyota between 89-92 and 98-99

im not too sure, but ya prob would need to remodel the cars you want.. which i dun think is possible in LFS.. try need for speed for this kinda thing

if i had S2, i would.. but gotta wait till after the new years before i got enough monies..

danke Scawen, works like a charm..
