That's a good point, I have considered that as well. But it could be fairly realistic. it is possible to make a 4 cyl Honda as loud and obnoxious as a Porsche racer.

I'm also thinking Bigbob means changing out certain parts that can be added or removed in the garage will make a different noise, but In the setup of the car itself, possibly not.

I know this has been suggested a few times before, but I feel like it needs to be brought up again. Sharing sounds or assigning a different sound per driver ingame is something that should be implemented. If anyone's watched a race in person, they will notice that each car sounds slightly different, even in F1. This video shows the difference between various cars, not much different than racing in LFS. The difference between both the yellow and white BMW's in this race is significant.

This will also fix the annoying droning of all cars revving with the same sound (notably at the countdown at the start of the race).

The sharing of sound files is nothing more than sharing a skin on LFSW, even less than 500 kb. If the sharing of the inserted sound samples is too intensive, simply sharing the parameters of the sounds could also work.

I can't seem to race the AI, all "race" options are greyed out, except Drag.
I have The latest patch, since I can drive the new Lotus.

I just bought it last night, it's pretty good.

I think I found a winner.

Is there an option to force the Radeon to be used on LFS via Catalyst? I'm not familiar with the program, so bear with me. I know NVidia has the option to force the discreet GPU, I'm sure AMD should too.

Quote from Mustafur :

The crew is another game similar in nature(more need for speed like, but map is much larger) but its not coming out till early next year.

FYI, it's expected in Q3.

Just read that it has former Eden Games devs. Hopefully it's a bit like TDU 1.

Forza Horizon was made with former devs from Bizarre Creations and other racing related studios.

Quote from Speed12161 :

My question its how to install it

If you have the archive open, copy the desired files to your LFS/data/dds folder.

does "random" count? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpJSubvwoY

I actually use my G25 for certain flying games, Not the best tool for the job, but hey it works!

Since my father wanted me to watch these for a long time... and they aren't on iTunes or NetFlix. he got these

If I'll afford my first car, and this, (and maybe a much beefier graphics card!) then that would be the ultimate dream for me.

spotted this Civic today.. somebody must have messed up the control arms badly.

Still looking at the MX-6. Parents still think I'll wreck it within the first week of buying it, and won't help drive me to the place (which is a good 80 KM away). If I haven't even put a single scratch my father's 330xi, Jetta, my mother's Odyssey, or my godparents' Yaris and Corolla, then I suppose I'm fine.

Quote from Giroux :

how realistic is the handling at low speeds? I mean I'd rather speed around, driving dangerously in an urban setting with traffic and realistic physics, but if just regular cruising is the only thing i can do realistically I'd buy it.

I have to say it's pretty good. If you use a Non-legit copy, it drives realistically for about 10 minutes, then the wheels disappear, and the car goes flipping about.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

I was talking about to simply go look at the car, as you stated you had no way to go see it. (or that's how it read to me anywho) I would endure a crowded, stank short-bus if needed, if the reason were to go look at possible alternate forms of transportation.

I misread your other statement, my bad.

I've just checked, and there aren't any buses that go there.

like I said a few posts above, the bus I've been taking is usually way too crowded, or when it's not, a crazy lunatic doesn't stop laughing hysterically the whole trip.

My friends however, are usually busy elsewhere.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

If mechanically in good shape I'd have a hard time passing it up if at all possible.
PS - your mom's color blind

my mother tells me to pass it up, she says it's not worth it. I haven't been working for a year, and this is what gets to me.. I had to pay tuition recently, and that left me with almost nothing.

I can't just go to the guy's place, since it's at the other side of town.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

They're great cars. 4cyl or 6? Personally I like them a little better than their Probe counterpart, as there aren't near as many on the road/are a little more unique. (at least here)

V6. My father owned a white one a decade ago, and my parents don't want me getting one, due to it being "too fast" for me or "too broken" to fix.

I also agree with your "rarity" statement. only 6 popped up on Kijiji. none on Craigslist.

I found this one the best, due to it being a post 1995+ car, it has OBDII on board, and another one a bit farther away needs a new clutch and is a 1993 (almost as old as me).


my mother was ashamed of me when I showed her the pictures. She said, "but it's all scratched! And it's purple!"

I'm looking at buying this, $1200, needs new brakes and a thermostat. I'm shamefully broke right now though, and I need my own car. Public transit is too crowded, and I can't always bike to college. I can fix this up easily, provided the parts aren't expensive.

I decided to go the unpaid approach too, I had some fun with it, I find it ESPECIALLY fun with both the F50 and F40.

the NSA, SOPA and Syria... WTF USA...

Quote from Mysho :

lol Ridge Racer is from Bugbear? Now I see how they are still around.

Only "Unbounded" is, it was a bit disappointing for a RR game.

having an alternator issue with my car.. ugh. likely the pulley on it is slipping.
