i don't think all that is true for lfs. My guess is that lfs just uses a certain amount of fuel for every ignition/pop.

e.g. when you are driving against the wind, in real life your fuel consumption would be higher, but in lfs, you are consuming less fuel just because the rpm are lower.

Wow!

50 000 € for a kitchen?!

For that money I could order pizza every day for almost 14 years!



[edit] You devs certainly deserve a break! It think that's very necessary to keep up the motivation for a project as large as LFS!

Quote from Lola Popeye :

look, it's a UF(O) :hidesbehi

looks nice, but I dont think there will ever be any kind of cooperation between ageia and lfs... lfs is all homemade

Ah, funny t-shirts - comedy for those who can't think of their own jokes.

I could bet $ 10 you didn't think of that on your own

Well, that VW Gold obviously doesn't represent all fwd hatachbacks that were ever made. I would bet there are some, that would require opposite lock in such a situation, just like the GTi does, in the video.

It's nothing that couldn't be evened out with with setup tweaking.

Would it be possible to use images like that as a base for smx files? That would definatly look a lot nicer than what the replay analyzers and LFS Spectator use currently.

nah, when I had that bug the files were sitting perfectly fine in my skins_x folder

Well sonic, I am not sure about you but h0lz parked his car in t1 right after he joined the server, and not just after a couple of laps, as you claim!

I especially dislike what you wrote here:

Quote :

Dann haben wir Wut auf die anderen die gut fahren können und wollen sie dann wegrammen ! Ist zwar eigentlich dämlich aber so reagieren wir halt !

"Then were are mad at at the others that are good drivers and wanted to ramm them off the track. It's kind of silly but thats just the way we are"

illepall

I don't know, I guess it was just a question of time until CS kiddies like you burst into the LFS scene. You are the teamkillers of LFS, ruining the fun for everyone else.
If you were actually serious about this game you would have completed the training or at least have practiced offline so that you could get a clean lap on the track, before joining servers.
No, I was not as quick as I am now when I first started playing LFS but I know that I have always tried to be a good racer and I have never pissed off other racers purposly.
Your behaviour just shows your massive immaturity, as does you post trying to justify this behaviour, which by the way lacks any kind of real argumentation.

You have to understand that LFS, or every other racing simulator, is very different from games like Counter Strike or whatever.
In CS you might be the hero of your team one round, because you killed every member of the opposing team with a lucky headshot, but in LFS there simply is no luck! You will never get a fast lap, just because of luck in every corner. LFS is all about skill and pratice (= time). If you want to be fast, you have to pratice hard and a lot.
And once you have invested enough time to be competitive and go online to have fun races with other equally enthusiastic racers, your race is spoiled by some idiots that are pissed off because of their inability to keep their cars on the track... you have to understand that people will become angry at these idiots.

The people on the servers will share their setups 99% of the time, if you ask them nicely. Also, if you need advice about driving the cars, almost all of the faster drivers will give you some! Just ask.
It will also help to start off with the slower cars like the UF1, the XF GT or the XF GTI. Learn to drive these cars fast, and then move on to the quicker cars!!! Back in the S1 days we didn't have any of the really fast cars. AND WE LIKED IT!

so... either you guys become somewhat serious about playing this game, or piss off!
If you want to become serious, the first thing to do is buying a proper wheel.

Quote from Dethred :

A simple burn out on any set of tires would rid it of practically all the dirt.

agreed!

Quote :

And the tires, with a decent setup that can hang with the best of em' will overheat too fast and not come down soon enough.

not agreed!

PS: Tristan, [...] no you're not the stig.

agreed!

I would say taking the license away completely is a bit harsh.
It's kinda like why I am against the death penalty, cause you can very rarely be 100% percent sure of the persons guilt.
I am just thinking if someone hacked my account and then went mad online. Or if my friends are being drunk and go wreck online during a party when I am not in the room (actually happend, but that was in the S1 demo days).

I like the idea of having a ban for say 2 weeks or up to a month for wreckers. Racer Y's suggestion about writing apologies is nice, too but I don't know if it's very practical.

Quote from L(Oo)ney :

You notice the way sonic tries to cover up his little antics, by crashing into a wall so it looks like hes actually crashed.... knowing full well he will be catapulted back onto the track..

yea, he also hides behind h0lz and then quickly moves in the way of approaching cars.
So hard for me to understand that people invest that much time and 'thinking' just to piss off people they don't even know.

I actually was hesitating to post this here because I knew naming wreckers wasn't welcome at rsc. But your responses show me that I made the right choice! Thanks

Yo Vyk, Austin Powers just called. He said he wants his Mojo back :icon23:

Yup!

h0lz & s0n!c ruined our 10 lap race at Aston GP / GTR. Way to go guys. You rock!

I can't believe there are actually peple out there that buy this game just to ruin the races of others :thumbsdow freakin' losers!
I attached the replay, h0lz (Getriebefehler) joins the sever at about 6 mins 25 secons and parks right in t1 and is joined by s0n!c shortly after. I attached the replay.
Kicking/banning was not allowed on that server for some reason.

I purposely stayed out of that PC Zone bashing thread because the guy who wrote that article totally has a point and it doesn't just happen on demo servers.

The option for automatically kicking cars going in the wrong direction was a good step but cars that are just parking on the road should also be kicked (to spectate or from the server) after a few seconds (as an option).


Grrrrr.... and to quote bash.org:
"i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"

yea, that oscillating is really weird. When I set all forces to max in windows as well as in LFS, the wheel oscillates heavily, even when standing still in the pits illepall
On a momo racing that is...

scavier sounds like savior, which is pretty fitting imho

loving it

I am all for that, too!

My team is going to compete in the endu league with driver changes and all that. Now we've got a small problem because one of our drivers races with a joystick and thus he uses a much lower maximum lock in his setups then we wheel drivers do.

I know it's not exactly realistic, but it would be very cool if it was possible to adjust the maximum lock during pitting.

Quote from BWX232 :

Getting my X800XL today! Woot!!

6xAA and 16xAF for me in LFS now.. (even though I can do it with my tired 9700pro- it isn't that fast, it dips into the 30's with a full grid)

Nice!

I wanted to get that one as well, but this one german shop had a reeeeally nice offer for a x850 xt (280€). Then, they even messed up and send me the Premium Edition

Enjoy your new gfx, AA and AF make such a difference!

The gfx card isn't THAT important but:

After formating my hard disk a couple of weeks ago I forgot to install my chipset drivers, thus I had no real agp support.
Just noticed that the oher day via AIDA 32 and after installing the chipset drivers I got a massive +20fps in LFS (with an ati X850 XT!).

Maybe worth a shot.

I would LOVE it if the ping to the servers was also shown in the list. Would be enough if the server's ping showed up only after you've marked it on the list. That would save time updating the list.

I also noticed a bug:
I tried to join a server from m@t but when in LFS I got some error msg that I'll try to remeber next time I notice that bug
So I had to search the player I was looking for in LFS and then I had no problems joining that server from within LFS. Maybe it was because the server name was colored (blue...)?
