Are there any servers setup that use the slick mod? Some of the cars are so much fun to drive with diff tyres. MRT Rally - this is a lot of fun. Also FZ5 and RA are great with slicks....Please some body set up a server

Yeah I want to make more slickmod servers so maybe we can all make a game with it sometime and race other people

X800XT 256mb memory 5.12 and 5.13 of any description, any configuration, AA-AF on or off, 10-15fps
I've also got another machine with a 9700pro and get the same problem.

Try the omega drivers for ATI based cards. I have the x800xt same as you,and I was getting like 30fps no matter what the setting. Now that I downloading the OMEGA Drivers it runs at 120fps or greater.

I searched the forums and I can't find the answer I'm looking for. Can there we an advanced autox editor. Kinda like a 3rd party program of sorts that you can more easily place the track pieces, or copy a whole bunch and paste. You know just all the tools that make it a little easier to create that masterpiece you have on a piece of paper

I find that they are cool cars to drive, but i don't have the time to get over the over twitchy feeling you get with it. I find them to be more fun on slicks with the slickmod, they handle the same way, but you can get more of a feel of the road with slicks

But why can't be drift busses like this in the game?

UF1 on Solong...come check it out!

Quote from ajp71 :

Racing cars don't need ground effects but they use it because they make them faster. Just because road cars may be fun on road tires doesn't mean they caa be raced on slicks. I haven't tried the slickmod but with LFS's road cars they have basically got full race suspension and have no chassis flex whatsoever so my guess is they'd be more suited to slicks.

Yeah some of the cars are too sticky on slicks, and makes them too easy to drive fast. But then again it teaches you to drive a steady line the whole time, so then when you go back to normal tires, I can drive much more smoothly then before. But it can be a trip taking a xrg out on slicks and finding that even the slightest movement too much can make you flip, that's what I mean by teaching you how to drive steady, not saying you can anyway

I also find it fun to use the normal tires on my car, and then using the better tires on the AI cause it makes them much faster and competitive. I just raced with an xfg around feclub on normal tires, and the AI had r1 in front and back, I recommend anyone to try this too.

Right now I'm trying to train the ai to drive the FXR on the FE off road course with hybrid, and let me tell you it's really allot of fun.

Any car works great with any type of tire, I really do love the way the cars handle in this game without the mod too, this game really is a step above the rest in it's class

Quote from Iron_Maiden :

yes there is...

I used to make over compicated skins that mant i was always paying more attention to them than racing...

also skins featuring black are fast I find....

At first I thought I was cool since I made my own skin, but then after a while I just thought whatever since most everyone else had skins too :-)

Not surprised one bit....

Quote from Gabkicks :

yeah, i consider the people that are on the 1st or 2nd pages of the wr charts with kb or mouse to be freaks.

Force feedback is defiantly the way to go. Its more realistic than mouse defiantly.

I also use the black momo too, and well I have had it for 5 years + and it's great! This game does have the feeling that no other games do. The feeling of every bump, and corner, every little detail down to the feeling of having too many flat spots on your tires. I really do understand how people love the mouse and keyboard, but I bet anyone that loves those forms of racing in live for speed either 1, doesn't drive in real life, or 2: never has really experienced a force feedback wheel. I'm sorry but I give no love to those who can't race with a a proper wheel. I respect what people like, but I really think it's time for everyone that doesn't have a wheel to get one, especially cause this game was made for one.

Quote from MonkOnHotTinRoof :

I think the perfect combination would be pedals of wheel for brake, gas and clutch, mouse for steering (smoothest and good for corrections) and rest on keyboard.
I tried on FF wheel but I didn't like it, mostly because of only 2 pedals (just can't get used to that) and sometimes weird FF. On keyboard is really difficult for me, although there are drivers that make astonishing times on keyboard (-V17-).

With slower cars you can be very competitive with mouse and keyboard.
In fact, if you look at hotlapping chart for XRT, you can see that first 2 positions are being held by mouse and keyboard.

Practice makes perfect with FF.

I figure if I do then people will get the idea Since most people that join with the words slickmod do not understand what they have to do Man this game is too addicting......

Quote from axus :

I use a driving force pro. FF is on. All I was sying is that someone said that they didn't like FF and I just said that they should probably try again with lower FF settings because the default ones can be too strong. FF is awesome.

FF is the way to go on a driving simulator, especially when you have to control the gas and brake, the steering is great too, but who wants to press the on and off button for gas. I think it's great to be able to feel the road, and real learn each bump as it comes....I understand some people like keyboard and mouse, but if I had to use those I might not be on this game in the first place, because live for speed feels the best out of all the other racing game I have played in my time.

Quote from axus :

Perhaps you were just running it too strong?

If you want to experience racing get a wheel with FF. I mean I can see how people like using a mouse or keyboard, but what's the point when you can use the real deal. I mean if you go out and ever try real racing, don't you want to have the steering wheel experience with this game?

Quote from spankmeyer :

Yes-yes-jolly-good-but-what's-the-damn-point? How many threads have you started on this slick mod thingie? Do an ego check and practise some more with regular road tyres - you'll notice the slicks are not needed in road cars. Peace, love and bunnies!

ACtually slicks on road cars make them faster and it teaches you how to drive a better line. I have been on this game nostop on all the other tracks and cars, and have gotten so good to the point I need a little change. So yes I have played this game to death and now all I want is a little more choices in what tire I want to race with If you guys don't want to try it then it's your choice, I think the game is great the way it already is

Gee all I was asking was if people liked to drive fast in real life. I see people everyday where I live with race-type cars, and I always find somebody that wants to drive a little faster, or oh my GOD-race! Yes there are people out there that like having fun like that while driving, and there are certian of us that enjoy it more then anything when driving. I'm not drifting around the streets, and I'm not driving faster then I can, but damn I just love to go out and have a blast driving. I'm sorry if I offended anyone by asking a question like this, perhaps this will be my last post, because everyone seems to take what I post and try and stick it in my ass

I have a slickmod game going for anyone that cares to race. UF1 with r1 is a fun time. Hope to see some of you there

just unzip the file to your live for speed folder and start it, then join my game..Thanks for reading this

Quote from Gabkicks :

its not about having balls or anything. its just showing disrespect to other people on the road. Show your guts and skill with your lap times on the track.

As I said I just like to have fun on the road, and yes I do drive as well as any motorcyle. Maybe I need help in the head for that You guys take everything the wrong way.

Quote from BrandonAGr :

Use some common sense, the only way a 10mph crash into a tree would kill or seriously injure you would be if you strapped yourself onto the bumber of the car before you hit the tree. 10mph is not that fast, you can run that speed(maybe not for very long)
The problem with crashes is that kinetic energy is equal to mass times velocity squared, so a crash going 60mph is way worse than one at 15mph, four times the speed, sixteen times the amount of energy that must be dissappated somehow for you to come to a stop.

You guys are tripping hard. All I wanted to ask is if anyone enjoyed driving as much as they do here. Sorry but I'm not an old guy yet, and I drive with a heavy foot all the time. Haven't been in any accedents, just been the one to always avoid them. You guys don't ahve to get all pissy like I'm saying take a ferrari out at 150 on street roads, I'm not crazy, I never would put my life at risk, I save that for the track, nowhere else. Does anyone understand my question now????? I drive as fast as I can and no faster. Allot of A#*$holes on the road drive fast but have no idea what they are doing. All they know about driving is when they were on bumper cars as kids, I'm not like that and never will be. I just find a thrill out of driving fast, gee somebody on this game wanting to do that!!!! And you know who I blame???? These games, cause they are the best thing in the world, and when I get into my real life car, it's just as exciting to me....you ever see how motercycles drive? How they drive fast and go around cars without causing trouble, well that's how I drive Sorry if people are too chicken to live a little in real life.

Quote from LRB_Aly :

Yep Strobe is right. Many people have a wild stage when they get their license.
Today for me it is like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide: On public roads I'm driving extremly defensif but as soon as I have the possibility to take the car on a closed circuit, or when I'm driving on Karts I push on the limit.
But on public roads I see no sense in risking the life of others just because I think that I'm a great driver.

I'm not saying drive so fast you can kill yourself, but I can say I know my limits more then anyone else, and when I go out to drive that's just how I do it. I don't drive super fast so I undanger everyone, but I just think it's fun, and I'm not the only one out here, after all I am in the capitol for street racing, so you wouldn't believe all the people that are willing to drive fast around here. Am I crazy saying I have a need for speed off the street too? I'm not saying I race full out on the street or I would be dead, but I just can't seem to keep it under the limit. And all I'm saying is that I know how to handle a car much better after this. I'm not risking life and limb, just can't stand driving like a stiff.

I like the oval sometimes, when there are not a bunch of pricks on it, but...I think I would enjoy it more if there were more indy car type tracks. I'm sure somebody has said this over and over, but taladega, or california speedway type tracks. Ofcourse something like that would be great, and I'm sure they thought of it already, so I'll just remind'em

Quote from MrSkill :

Bought RBR on ebay for 7,40€ a few days ago.
Best Rally-Sim I've ever played.
LFS and RBR are a great combination.

Try downloading it and the crack, you can't play online, but you can see how much it sucks, compared to this, before you waste your money on it I'm not saying it's good to crack anything, and well if I liked it I would have bought it for sure.

Quote from Roadie :

sry, but I was laughing at this... "and every time I go out to drive I always end up showing off on how great a driver I am."

yeah i always show the a*&%*holes that cut me off or try and race, I never let them win. I was just going 70+mph in a 40 zone cause the guy wanted to race. How about this....How many tickets have you gotten? I have about 7
