yeah, place was packed always, and people waited up to 2 hours to drive in the BMW cockpits (BF1 on AS nat). As the whole last year on the intel racing tour. I actually was there a day too, but I only raced it once... against Timo Glock (current BMW F1 Testdriver, last year GP2 4th place, 2005 rookie of the year champcars)

As you can read on www.lfsnews.net, we do some kind of huge step

We celebrated this with a little showrace with BMW F1 testdriver and GP2 racer Timo Glock on the cebit in the intel Racing Tour today. He actually didnt want to stop racing LFS and is a great guy! And now it's time to go rocking some tracks.

The intro is so ubercool, that the rest looks not that good, even though it's a great video. But the intro beats it all! WOW!

I raced them all, even Eric Eric's the fastest, but still miles away from the typical leagueracing top-driver

but the rear is one of the hottest A.S.S es I have seen on a car so far

Quote from Flughafen :

I think it was 3 years ago, i got a demo CD from the "Gamestar" (german gaming magazine) with the demo 0.5 h, i think.

One year later S2 was released.

Well, S2 is 0.5 so your first demo must have been some 0.2 or 0.3... I guess, 0.3h, if you refer to three years ago

Anyway, I got the reference to the demo after EA announced the closing of the Motorcity Online servers and I was looking for something similar 4 years ago. Someone in some forum pointed me to LFS. I did 2 offline laps and then hit the MP button... There i was, on the track, in the middle of a race and WOW, that was awesome... end of story

Quote from tristancliffe :

Public servers and pick&play racing = names on (unless I've been there for a while and am used to the crowd)
League races and organised events = names off (and sometimes shift-f too)

+1

Quote from Mike85 :

We could make a compromise: the info is saved for one license but we could have separate key bindings, graphics, etc for different "users" of the game. Like when someone else drives the game. A younger brother or something

But this is little things which can be implemented in 5 minutes. The dev(s) need to work on physics, interface etc.... (which they probably are Im sure).

You ever tried the player thing in options? You can put there a lot of different players with different control settings etc. That's what I use, to let my kids drive (e.g. autogears)...

haha Bikes left hungary and is down to london.. sometimes

Hahahahaha, nice idea, without providing contacts, with the suggestion of a small dev team to pay money to honda etc. etc.... just rethink your idea again pls....

Best Hotlapper : Biggie, if quantity counts
Best Racer : nils
Best Team : mine
Best League : MoE. 2nd: EPS (only league with the money in it )
Best Country : Germany - as proven in statistics of amount of LFS licenses
Best Modder/Programmer : Kegetys: GhostMod, Pitspotter and momo-leds are artworks of coding

Best Hardware for LFS : A wheel and a PC definitely not a console, nor a Mac :P

Quote from dpcars :

the car is very wide and the driver sits fairly close to centerline. with 185 lb driver the balance is about dead even, so 50 lbs difference in either direcion will have very minimal effect on balance. basically adding 50 lbs in the driver seat adds about 33 lbs on the left side and 17 lbs on the right, so if you started with let's say 525 lbs left and 525 right with 185 lb driver, you'd end up with 558 and 542 with a 235 lb guy behind the wheel (likely won't be a girl! ) which is still pretty damned close (only 0.7% left-heavy). maybe schumacher can tell that kind of difference but i know i won't be able to.

cool, I was just interested on how it was done. Great stuff.

with the engine on the side, dont you have to add/remove extra weight on drivers side for different driver, to keep balance? Or how is that done?

it's simple, outdated version is not supported anymore. You even get updates for no money for your old version. That's best thing, you can expect from a software company. Besides blizzard, there arent many that keep supporting their software that long, but even with StarCraft 1.01 you wont be really able to play anymore online, you have to upgrade, even if you might love the balancing better the old way, you have to upgrade.

What you experience is the same for everyone with old versions, where upgrades exist: They arent supported anymore, get used to it.

As promised, we provide the song HERE

hehe, reminds me of actual Top Gear test of Brabus SL with 720bhp... no downforce kills cool vid though

arno = dumb script kiddie and the prove of arrogance of geeky little boys in their cellar. go meet phlos...

Some Infos on the vid you'll find in my blog (check sig).

Quote from Tweaker :

I'm guessing that was Limiter's band?

Not a bad vid :up:

Nope, that's my cousin doing the music, his former band did the sound for the racing challenge.

Quote from joen :

I suspect it would be a car really suitable for close racing

you have ANY real life evidence of close racing cars with 970bhp/ton and df? Come On, get real

There are so many independent little car makers out there with a lot of interesting cars, and I personally think, this is cool to drive, but to race? On the given tracks? It's a car for the car park/Auto-X area, but there we have the mrt already.

Nother Point: Thinking about needed time to do it/benefit for LFS at the given time, I'd put that below a lot of other stuff on the to-do list and move it towards after S2.

I'm really impressed, what the guy achieved there, I just dont think, it will happen soon in LFS

Quote from BurnOut69 :

Cosmic powers that determine the list on the fist page of this thread prove you're wrong :P

hmmm, i had phlos' mobile number somewhere....
