Hi hurwitz,

sorry I can't help you with the rev limiter sounds.

But this:
Quote from hurwitz :(got myself a PSVR and it works like a charm with LFS).

got my attention.
Would you mind sharing the details on your setup?

I`ve tried and bought most of the "usual" apps and tools to get there, but never even got closed to something like a working setup.

Just a quick question:
Is the racing on public servers still worthwhile?
Are there enough players online to fill a roster or two?

Haven´t been playing much since my G25 broke.
I thought I´d get a new one as soon as S3 comes out... might pick up one now as well if its worth it.

Thread´s kinda long, so maybe it´s been suggested already.

Why not go for the "World of Tanks" model?
They are making 2 digit millions per month - but it´s great fun without paying a dime too.
Some F2P basis (enhanced demo) with premium cars/tires/skins you can micro pay for.

After all its what makes the game industry tick right now, easily beating blockbusters like COD and BF3.

As far as I know there is no serious racing sim going that way?
And even if... we all here would p*ss on any competitor to the only real racing sim out there.

Social Viral Community Network Options in LFS?

Hey there,

just some random thoughts about boosting LFS a little.

Having the year 2010 quite a while now, there are certain developments that were distant rumors or geeky side notes at best when LFS showed up the first time.
You might have heard of "facebook" or "twitter" already - quite successful but more or less useless tools - until now!

What if we replace those annoying:
"Martin took a dump and keeps wondering about that strange smell OMG"

messages and put them to use.

"Martin just set a new PB @ Aston (1:59:99) in a XRR and still keeps wondering about that smell."

Martins friends will like it most probably, because they dont have to put up with his usual fecal problems - and may become curious what keeps their friend from posting about the pizza he just had or that very funny picture of a little kitten.

"Martin starts a race in about 10 minutes, click here for a remote TV link."

Even not-so-racing addicted friends WILL click that link - and get in contact with what we all know as the best racing sim ever.

It´s nothing you ´d write chain letters to your friends about:

To:colleagues@dullcompany.com
CC:oldhighschoolfriends@whereever.org

"Hey all, you might barely remember me, but just to let you know: I found this great game I´m playing all night instead of finally getting a girl friend..."


But: it definetly is something that shows up in your profile as "hobby" or something, so you might WANT people to know and to maybe get them interested.

What I´m trying to say: LFS is just MADE for this kinda stuff.
It has a great community and there are tons of switches that could be triggered easily, by just adding a couple of buttons to "lfsworld.net" and tiny changes to LFS itself.
So the community would be supported in doing what it does best - keeping LFS alive.

There already are a couple of LFS groups on facebook - and it´d be great to fill them with life.

Thanks for listening

Quote from felplacerad :Direct link to the LFS FBM segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3LIaxX1PHE#t=11m3s

the bald guy trying to act surprised everytime his master speaks is really funny.
"ohhh...OOUHHH..."

otherwise pretty lame show.

but they revisited the lotus in iracing after users made some points about the lame testing criteria:

Baldie: "Sound is bad... the volume is way to low, bad car."
Users: "Crank it up, there´s a volume slider in the menu!"
Baldie: "Awesome - this car rocks!"


Maybe someone could help them with that bouncing cockpit as well...

Quote from Riel :Must be toilet paper.

Absolutely right.
VW even sold these "hats" for TP in their car shops with the "Jetta" logo on them.

Quote from (SaM) :No, that partnership is solely because of this.

LFS gets the Scirocco and iRacing the Jetta.
Nuff said.


(Here the Jetta is considered an olds people car with not-so-funny gadgets on the rear shelf (??) )

Who guesses what´s hidden under that crocheted hat thingie to the right?

Quote from Bean0 :I use the LFSWorld server browser nowadays, you can untick the demo box, and sort by server population

I was about to start wondering... of course we can filter demo/s1/s2 servers.
What´s his problem?

And btw, I already had some excellent racing on demo servers.
Very rare - but it happens.

Im sorry, what does my flag have to do with anything?

Thats the one thing I learned from Senator McCain:
"In America we don´t spread the wealth - we create it."
So i figured this could apply here too.

Quote :Omg, don't tell me it's spelled poll instead of pool?

Noo.... you´re perfectly ok. It´s a pool.

Well... in case you mean the voting thing - that would be a poll.

Quote from The Very End :So I count you in 14.00 on saturday Madmat?

Well.. in this case it´s more the fall of the beloved insulated Empire, their dingeling-currency is kinda bargain nowadays.
So is LFS.
All my Wii games are ordered at amazon.co.uk, you can easily save 50% that way.

Saturday the 14nd?
Sure thing.

I dont see why anyone would do that for another.

Maybe that´s because of : ?


A friend of mine couldn´t afford it either, but was eager to race LFS.
So to make him stop blocking my computer all day I got S2 for him too.
Never saw him again... privacy has never been so cheap.

Quote from el pibe : ( u kno... those laws made by the german green party..... )

There is no such law.

You´re mixing up the car manufacturers agreement from back in the 80ies, not to exceed the max. speed of 250km/h, which wasn´t green minded at all but for safety reasons, and recent tries to introduce a general speed limit where numbers varied between 120km/h and 150km/h (dunno whats that in your squarefeet per inchgallonpound measurement)

The car manufacturers agreement was one of the main reasons for the sucess of AMG, M GmbH and all the other in-factory tuners of German car makers - because they weren´t bound to this agreement.
In the early days AMG simply removed a chip from the central car computer - et voila, bye bye speed governor.
Well worth an extra 8000 DM (still dunno whats that in your squarefeet per inchgallonpound measurement).

But... back to topic.

Quote :in every corner i get big slide

If oversteering is you major concern, try stiffening the front roll bar and softening the rear, whilst lifting the car back up a little if you lowered it too much.
Furthermore adjust the braking balance to a point that suits your driving style, standard setups are hardly usable for keyboard steering.

Quote from Kirill.D :Offtopic :

Why does You're site include LFS Crack ?

http://www.polepositiondriver.com/downloads.html

It's piracy, if You don't know yet... i suggest You to remove that...



Indeed.
From the description it reads like a tweaker - haven´t tried what it does though.
Don´t like *.exe files from untrusted sources.
