mmmmmmm My big weakness. Apart from the 5-10 cups of fresh a day lol
My dog raided 1/2lb of choc coated coffee beans I had one day. If the room had been round it would have been like a dog wall of death lol
Practice practice practice. Its a matter of learning your car and knowing the revs you need to blip to for any situation.
When I had my BWM Mini Cooper I could downshift 1 or 2 gears directly at most speeds while keeping balance.
Depends on your engine as well, how fast reacting it is etc

There is a simple solution.
1) Have a bound box inside the car that is the vitals space (Engine etc). If any bodywork crosses into the vitals box you have a dead car.
2) If any of the bodywork is crushed into the tyre space puncture or add big heat buildup to cause puncture

It is strange to see the split in the community on this one. I fully understand the OP as I was around in LFS at that time. I personally still prefer the smaller cars on the tighter tracks for the reasons stated hence when I race now its the CTRA1 server.
The LFS community was very different back just before S1 and through to near S2. The trouble with the faster cars is the same as IRL tbh. The faster the cars the less chances for those bumper to bumper battles.
Where is the -1000 option lol. So you think the vote of people that want tuning within LFS is worth 1000 times more than those that do not?
NZ is gearing up to make 3rd party a requirement and then the only difference will be the personal injury thing. Having come from the UK I know the system well but actually prefer the NZ one. As with much in NZ all the BS and PC crap is removed and everything is simple.
Not being able to sue for personal injury is actually a GOOD thing btw. It stops the practice that occurs in the US where somebody will cause you to rear end them on purpose so they can sue for whiplash. They then get coached by their no win no fee lawyer on how to talk up injuries so the lawyer can earn more cash etc. The US system is a joke with no accountability that asks to be played and gamed.
If I am uninsuered in the US and hurt people in a crash. They can try and sue me but if I have NO real money they are screwed, injured and no payout. If they don't have suitable medical cover they are really screwed. Nice system.
People in the US appear happy with this system as long as they have the possibility of a big payout from the courts. We have a similar system here but we call it lotto
Strangly enough I found out it is the insurance compaies here that are against forced insurance but govt looks like about to force the issue
Hmm then why when we needed treatment in the US the FIRST thing asked was about medical cover BEFORE they even took details. Guess thats just how you treat people that visit and do not live in the US
If you abuse the tyres IRL as much as people do in LFS then its a fair bet. Push to the scrub noise only, go over into skid and you are just creating heat with no real gain in speed.
MODS: Close this pointless thread of bitching. For a moment I thought it was the NKP forum
People step away from the keyboard and chill

The gov scheme is not just cars. If you have ANY form of accident: Car crash, fall down stairs. Any accident the scheme kicks in and pays part to all medical and can pay out disability allowances depending on injury etc. Because of the scheme you CANT take people to court for personal injury claims.
BTW: This scheme does NOT pay out the millions you can sue for in the US.
The insurance thing is a different matter though. First I must say that you can also drive at 15 years old....
You can see where this is going cant you. More and more people want manditory insurance because it will help control what cars young kids can drive. Too many go get a WRX for a $1 down and then end up dead.
The drive at 15 is a hang up from years back to allow rural kids to get around due to sparse population. These kids probably drive tractors from young ages. The licence allows driving between something like 7am and 9pm.
Move on to modern day and the law still stands. But now we have lots of cheap high power cars like Skylines, WRX and EVO available on easy finance and we have a problem.
That 30mpg drops VERY quickly when you use the loud pedal though
Even a BWM Mini Cooper I had a while back dropped to high 10s/low 20s mpg when I played in it

Tweak has been used in the past on servers but there is not a current version.
There does not appear to be a current Legal tweak app in the addon area of the forum. Sounds like the ones you have are not legal and hence you should not run the server. Its your licence though.
Sounds like new legal tweaks are in the works though.

There is NO personal injury payouts in NZ at all. We have a gov system which covers all forms of accidents (no matter the cause) and pays out all medical and other medical and disability claims that result from an accident.
This means your car insurance just becomes cover for the "things" damaged, not the people. So in the uninsured person its courts or your own insurance. On the whole I believe most have cover (At least 1/3 party). 1/3 party is normally V cheap to get.
Personally I would like to see forced 1/3 party as would control young kids in cheap powerful cars.
lol. UK is a rip for insurance.
NZ its optional and my insurance for an Subaru Legacy Outback (2.5Ltr AWD) is $400/year for me and my wife to drive fully comp (About 170UK)

I would say use 2 installs of LFS BUT in one delete the skin and other folders you want to share and instead create links to the directories in the other.
You will then share skin downloads and hence not get charged twice for them etc. Create the links in the same way you would create a shortcut, just with a dir instead.
yep lock as people have said. I would say try vsync.
If you have a CRT set the refresh to 100Hz as that is the refresh rate of the LFS physics engine. Ig you have LCD probably better locking at multiples of 60, prob 120 ish.

I am sure people sharing the licence on same PC is fine but as others point out that if its your licence and your "brother or whoever" acts a prat and is banned then tough.
You will also share racing stats and PB and everything else on LFSWorld because there is one account.
Personally I would not like the devs to waste time implementing any form of settings switcher etc as only a fraction of people want it so dead dev kime.
The OP should live with the limitations of LFS. You could use 2 installs of LFS on same machine and link the skins directories so that skins are shared between both installs. I dont see the need for ANY changes to LFS in this area.
Make the default enabled for ALL servers but let admins disable.
That way the cruse and drift people would disable and most pickup servers would be enabled because most pickup admins don't config their servers anyway. The server option to allow admins to block based on safety rating off by default.
The default then becomes ratings are collected on most servers and admins can filter if required.
Finally have a player state of no rating and have it that rating only becomes active after say X number of races so you have done enough to build a good representation of your safety level on track. A no rating player should not be blocked by the filter.
Technique: Elitism has NOTHING to do with this BTW. It would become the same as CRC of old. People just want to know people on the track are clean. Track safety has NOTHING to do with driver speed. It is the same as yellow rating in CTRA.

Oh come on, that is just not possible. You need to mix the tinfoil with some lard to bind it so it does not fall apart as the brakes are applied.
Simple basic fundimentals, HOW DID YOU MISS THAT. You just don't know anything
lol
The shift point is triggered BASED on your gearing. If you change your gearing it WILL change when the shift light comes on.
There is NOTHING annoying, you are just using gearing that is NOT suitable for the new engines in the LFS cars.
HTH
FWD arse sliding is NOT drifting. Any moron can put a FWD car sideways and call it drifting but does not make it so.
Some sad people like to believe it's drifting but dragging locked rears or having an insane setup that has no rear grip is just not drifting, its just arse dragging.
I bet "Keiichi Tsuchiya" (whoever he might be) was probably talking about RWD cars and yes you can drift ANY RWD car.
ONLY people have have FWD cars and like drifting like to pretend its drifting, everyone else knows its just lame. Show a FWD car "drifting" next to somebody actually drifting in a RWD car and you will see the FWD car just looks sad.
So you think a few extra 100rpm is one of the best things pre X?
Just change your gearing and it will work the same.
As others have said. Write, walk away and then edit edit edit. Remove words that add nothing or waffle.
In the end, just write an honest piece and if possible do not add bias.

I think people are right on the community thing. In my early days I would not have improved had it not been for being on servers with better people who also took the time to give tips and setups if it was a quiet server etc.
Sounds like this will never happen in iRacing because as a newer player you will never be on the server with better drivers, the skill balance system and other balancing systems will make sure of that.
TBH. It is all a moot point anyway. As many countries are now tipping into a big slowdown/recesion and fuel prices climb through the roof the amount of disposable cash people will have will get smaller and smaller. As there is talk of fuel at $200/barrel I would say the real pain has not yet even started.
Subscription based products will have to fight with many other things for that ever shrinking pot of disposable cash. Pay once use always stuff like LFS will appeal more as things get worse.
I think iRacing have picked a small market. Made it serious enough to shrink that market further and in the current climate priced themselves into an even smaller market.
Only time will tell although I will still not try until there is a FREE demo I am selective with my cash and can't remember the last dud software I purchased, I always try before buy so I know the product is not crap.

If people want to chat while driving then run up a voip or team chat app in background.
LFS is at its core a race sim, not a chat room.
