Doh, this thread even attracted more ppl than the Test patches thread.

The power of breasts has been revealed unto you.


mmhm, time for a boxing day race!

Quote from Forbin :

@Blakey: Are you sure that annoying sound in your ears isn't Laura begging you to let her play?

ahahahaha..

Yes, This is it...

Lol.

anywho, thanks for the discussion on sounds etc guys! useful stuff

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

To be honest, when using my headphones or PC speakers I don't notice that much of an improvement from 128kbps and anything higher. 64kbps is just a joke, but 128 is perfectly acceptable imo.

Better headphones await you.

Quote from Glenn67 :

You don't have to be in a team to chat. Once you get known around the place you will find plenty of friendly teams that will let you into there chat servers. I'm almost always in a VENT server somewhere while racing

Fixed for you, we all know teamspeak is terrible.

Quote from JohnPenn :

Yes I remember them on theTeam400 server when I first tried Teamspeak, her casual swearing would have make Peter cook and Dudley Moore proud.Have many good memories of those days,cracking racing but more importantly some really good laughs.

Rofl. -- sounds familiar

Quote from Feffe85 :

True True

But if the sound is to "bassy" cant u just change the "exhaust pipe tone" (or whats the name) inte the "SHIFT+A" section in-game? Should make it less bassy anyway

Tried this.. just can't get a "comfy" sound, ahh well i've gotten used to it now really

Quote from lizardfolk :

I'm a furry so it's kinda the opposite LOL

Rofl.

ok, probably gonna turn in for the night now.. Pub is calling me.

Have a good night all.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Well i thought Rob's lap was a little confusing for you with the mouse action so i went and did a lap but with ABS because ive been testing it lately and will probably take me a while to get back to normal again, i was pretty suprised by my first splits though, so don't worry if your not close to them :\ Set attatched too..

But try again with my set then i can comment, i don't want to critisise parts of your driving which might be down to the set, just makes it easier.

When trying to view your replay, it says replay was made using a later version..?

however im running S2 Z.. which is the latest according to the main website.

Thanks Bull, i'll definately be back online tonight, and pretty much every night i have some spare time

thanks, ill get onto that within the hour

Thanks for all the detailed information guys!

looks like i've got a lot to work through here!

time to bury my head into lfs world and setups etc..!

Quote from robt :

can do you a 3 lap race, will be on a ps2 pad though, but the technique is still the same.

ill accept all

Quote from Blackout :

I think you need to brake harder, and either be on the brake or the throttle. You seem to be coasting before the corners and that is just waste of time, and that also means that you braked too early or slowed too much, in this case not enough sometimes.

I guess the old slow in - fast out is a good advise. Try to figure out how fast you can accelerate from the corners and hit the apex and then find out how late can you brake down to that speed maintaining a good line.

Now to test drive your set and see how is it.

edit. Well, Kev was on it earlier and more detail.

speaking of my "set" its just "hard track" or maybe the default race.. :O

Thanks for both the replies guys.

@ Kev, i was under the impression that any screeching of tyres due to braking was bad news due to grip etc, so i try to brake slowly and smoothly to prevent screeching/locking up.

However, ill try to give it a go breaking as late as possible and much harder (altho i tend to find that just means i slide off the track facing forwards cos i've missed the apex due to the screeching/locking of tyres)

Would it be possible to see one of your XRG blackwood laps? just a run of the mill 3/3 not your fastest attempt or anything! I can't seem to find any replays that work with this patch!

i thought it would be better to be consistently slow, but stay on the track.. rather than to try to show off, push myself (and the tyres) too far.

However, perhaps i should be pushing harder? i suppose ill find out when you all Critique me

Quote from DragonCommando :

If you dislike the sound you should try some modified sounds or sound packs.

I actualy did one myself.
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=51238
The only issue with mine right now is that the road cars are a little too quiet in the version I've posted, but it will make all the cars sound better.

When the new VW comes out I'm going to fix the road cars and add the new one.

These should be good for now if you want different sounds.

To install my sounds simply press Shift-A while in a car and press the pack button and select mine.

EDIT: just read what you actualy typed. I have the same problem, no mater what you set in the game the bass is always going to be high, LFS's sound engine is set up for people who don't have high quality EQs on thier system.
I have to turn my creative EQ off every time I play LFS, its a bit of a bother, but it can't be helped unless the devs add some kind of EQ setup to the car sound system.

Thanks for the sound pack, and thanks for reading what i typed! lol

Shame, ill just have to get used to disabling EQ etc.

Thanks for the advice

its christmass! i have the week off, and damn all those who oppose me!

considering this is my 3rd day of LFS (and any sort of realistic racing in general) go easy!!



setup = "hard track" default

thanks guys.

I'm a little dare i say.. hungover right now, ill see what i can do! be back in 10 mins or so i guess.

Quote from J@tko :

Post a replay of you driving

That's the best way to learn, by people telling you where you're going wrong

Ok, ill get onto that now, by the time the replay is saved.. one of you schmucks better tell me the preferential upload site that you lot use!

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

This thread doesn't make a sense anymore, imo lock.

Sourpuss! -- Its a welcoming thread, people are being accommodating! Thread seems to be living up to expectation of a "hi i'm new here" thead.

Also, the 2 of us can ask joint questions here, without spamming new topics every few minutes (trust me.. we have so many questions you do NOT want us to leave this thread..)

Pfft, i thought id try cars rather than busses
----------------------------------------------------


It would seem 4chan's taint reaches farther than i'd expected!

----------------------------------------------------

I am Assisting Laura "teaching" if you will (I'm no master by a LONG way though)

----------------------------------------------------

If anyone would be willing to counsel the both of us.. that would be awesome!

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Is she real? I mean, it isnt your second account right? :chair:

sometimes i'm not sure which i'd prefer?

lol, We'll both probably be racing together sooner or later... I personally can't wait
