Get a second hand 6600 GT (AGP version) They are selling at good prices these days(probably ~45 euros?. And also get another 512 meg of ram (probably ~15-20 euros?)

You probably want to turn up the "User LOD"
See here for everything you need to know: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Graphics

Also turn up the Multiplayer car draw so you can see all the cars

I has a quick watch of your replay. You can get full on the throttle a bit earlier than what you are doing. You should not brake for the S bend after the long back straight and last corner, just throttle off. apart from that it just takes a lot of practice. You will break into 1:27s then after more practice 1:26s then after HEAPS more practice 1:25s. My PB is 1:24.88 with a mouse, but I have the split times for about a 1:24.6.

Just don't be afraid to flick the car into the corner really stamp on it at the apex. Your lines seem good and with more practice you will get them perfect. Try downloading different setups from http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/

Ok here is a replay of my bad driving . I havn't had much practice at this combo and also I use a mouse which basically means I can either be on full throttle or no throttle - making it hard to accelerate out of corners.

I am using the setup from the team inferno site.

Ignore the first lap (cold tyres).
I brake too late for turn 1 on lap 3.
I mess up the chicane on lap 4 - I turned in too late.
observe and learn.

Also I remember from you replay that sometimes you are changing gears far too early and sometimes far too late. Watch for the red shift lite and change as soon as it come on, no earlier. When I was learning in the demo I used auto-gear change so I could focus 100% on my line, breaking points and acceleration points.

Also don't be afraid to brake with full force - really stamp on it the fox can brake amazingly quickly because it is so light. If you lock up - it doesn't matter; its only a virtual tire and you can reset.

When you are racing press F9 to bring up the tier temp. display. Here is how to understand it http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/D ... Tyre_temperature_.26_wear

I know my driving is not very good, but I hope that this will help you to learn

Have fun!

What setup are you using? It is truely a HORRIBLE setup . No wonder you are going so slowly. I did a test drive of you car after watching the replay and it seems like the brake force is set much too low, the car always understeers, and the tyres took forever to heat up - you should be using slick R1s no questions asked. I could drive much faster with the standard RACE_S setup.

practice with either the standard RACE_S setup or use the hotlap setup from here http://setupfield.teaminferno. ... ar_id=38&p_version=S2
Don't change any of the settings, because unless you are very experienced you will just make it worse.

Also you should always flatshift, you are losing a lot of time by taking your foot off the throttle.

I am a mouse user, and not very fast, but it took me less 5 tries to get the chicane flat out. I will post a replay later.

Please don't take this as offensive, I am trying to help you

Nice. Keep up the good work

You can use google to calculate the amount it will cost after currency exchange http://www.google.com/search?h ... sd&btnG=Google+Search

One thing I don't understand is: How can you not have any money when you're 13? You have absolutely NO expenses what so ever. When I was 13 I got off my ass and did a paper run, saved up my money and bought stuff I wanted.

Now I'm a full time student and I don't have any money , but I used some of my savings money from part time work that I did at school to buy S2

The MRT has to be the most twitchy car in existance.

Thank you SO MUCH. Its all working good now, including the web site.

I'm having problems with the site too. ctrl F5 doesn't help

argh I can't PM Victor, so I'll say in this thread:
I just purchased an S2 license with a credit card. It says I have no unlocks left and that I must wait until next friday? 1 whole week? is this normal?

I can't access the main LFS site yet. Could it be that my local DNS hasn't updated? Is there a direct ip address that I can put into the address bar to access the LFS site?

thanks for any help =]

Quote from Victor :

Argh that's bad timing

The site should be back up in about 30 minutes.
Ill make sure your payment will be processed then as well.

Thank-you for the quick reply

I can't wait to play S2 lol.

Hi Victor.

Do you have an ETA on when the LFS website will be back up?

I just purchased an S2 license, and then it went back to the LFS site after a successful visa transaction, and it said "SITE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE"

Has anyone got the AI to do better that 1:30 on blackwood with XRT? (ps. soon to be S2 ) They just seem so slow - I'm cracking 1:25s

But there isn't any option to kick yourself... thats my point

Well I was playing LFS S2 Demo online just now and this is what happened...
