Time for an update to this thread... While there was the UK meet, I went to Nürburgring the last two days, read it HERE

That's actually not unrealistic, cause the typical RallyeCross tire has more grip than an Formula1 tire. BUT it would not last for more than one lap on BL. So the tirewear needs to be a lot increased there, and they would heat up like hell on the road, cause on gravel they cool down enough, so you can race a bit longer on Rallyecross.

Well, title says it all. If you do a race with driverchange, the race is only listed in the "Online Race Results" of the one who finished for a team. Would be good, if they show also for the others.

Quote from inCogNito :It's a great single player game.
It's really fun to fight against the AI for the bonus cars.

I like the way you can control a muscle car with the gas pedal through the corner. I would like to have this control in LFS.

On the downside it has great performance problems (even on really fast machines) and the usual Simbin bugs that makes you wonder if they have any betatesters at all.

I sign that. It describes my feelings towards GTL perfectly.

Quote from pab_ATR16 :And to tack a question of mine on the end here, does anyone know if it is possible to setup a server so that more than one (in this case two) pitstops are required?

no, not possible

Here is a nice pic attached, taken from this really cool webpage about suspension: http://www.chris-longhurst.com ... les/suspension_bible.html

You see relly good, where it attaches at the suspension, and that it basically distributes the spring/damper forces between the wheels of one axis, making a car less rolling in turns.

Quote from kakarlsen :I'm not saying this is my best replay, but sometimes I'm almost frightened by the way some racers behave.

Watch the DOCTOR...
(Unfortunately I don't have a replay of the two first races)

oh yeah, I met this guy too, and I sign that, to put him to ban-log. He and his buddy behaved like arses. Like pulling the brakes out of nowhere in a race, when I was getting his draft on BL backstraight or similar "stunts".

Heya, I have to say "thank you" to the voters! It's an honour to be in that team and to get that reputation. And no fear, our work for LFS will continue

<-Happy Dance about the awards!

Quote from mrodgers :I think but may be wrong but F11 you can change ARB and brake bias on the fly and F12 is where you can change fuel fill, tire pressures, tire types, and others.

BUT this only works in Full S1/S2 Version, not in demo

most popular cars should be calculated after mileage and not laps imho

Hehe, those guys are cool. They got LFS-running on their thing in about a nights time. And then they optimized it throughout the days at the GamesConvention. You'll have some fun!

LFS attracts at first the "non-conservative" Simracer, cause it came from a total different point of view. Ask any GPL freak, Nascar fan or whatever, to race you in the GTi. He wont.

The typical simmers want sims of fast racing cars, usually not available to buy for yourself. That's also the reason, why this genre has usually an older age, cause at the same time a Sim gets really really difficult, when simulating the actual high speed motorsport, and as a beginner you have to start with all the helps on, to get it going.
In LFS you start the GTi as n00b, and can manage a real simulated car on the track. From that point comes the confidence in being able to master a Sim.

To put it to one sentence: Why there are more LFS only guys, rocking in other Sims, than the other way round? Where are the team redliners, hackkmanns etc. that pwn (to stay with the 1337-speak ) every Nascar/GPL race? Why is there a column about the chat behaviour on LFS-servers in A.S.S.? Cause LFS wakens them up, shakes up the sim-scene, opens it to new parts of the market, enters the "eSport-scene", going side by side with CS, WC3 etc. Actually LFS has afaik the most prizes in online simracing available atm.
And that's the main reasons new people come to it, that's maybe also the reason some of "us" are fanatics when it comes to advertising the "own" Sim. Because LFS goes new ways, compared to the old and conservative ones of the simracing scene since years.
