So, now i've done a LX4 "sensible" setup for BL1... enjoy.

I could try, but i wont make any promises... i'm not that used to those cars and haven't been playing for some time now.

I just have to add my 2 cents here... Someone stated that its easy to use the search function to get most of the answers to most of the questions on this fora... and while that is true, the newb must first and foremost know that there is a search function (sure, most foras have it, but not all are used to this) and then learn how to use it before actually getting any good use out of it... and thus actually pointing them in the direction of the search is a good way to start instead of ignoring them... or flaming them...

It's more or less impossible to get your AI to drift as they are made to race. They will try to slide as little as possible even with the most slidy setup... or spin out of control.

Nice to see that you like them setups . Im working on some more right now and will post them later on.

He means version x10 of LFS. Bespoke doesn't work on later versions.

...nevermind, NAI beat me to it...

Thnx.

I'm kinda lazy so my goal is to find a "universal" base that works on most tracks to build my setups around. So far it has worked better then i expected it to

Those are sensible setups... As in no overdamping, no locked diffs and modest rollbar strengths. Look at them as a ground to build upon rather then a finished set... If you look at the general setup of the cars you will see that not much has changed apart from gearing, some camberchanges and rollbars.

And as i can reach times within benchmarks with these sets i rather think they are raceable, and not casual as u say.

Another batch of setups, this time for AS3

Feel free to comment if u like or dislike them.

Hi Zorro (or Lucky Roy ) Nice to see a friendly face around here. Try them out and see if they are good for ya... otherwise... tweak them to your liking.

This didn't happen in LFS but it applies here nonetheless.

I was having a real fight for first place in a league-race, running the inside line and having about half a car-length of lead coming up to a hard righthand corner when my cat pulled the USB-cable out of the socket... Chaos ensued as u may have guessed

As both me and my combatant was on Vent at the moment he heard me cursing at my cat and so he actually found it in his heart to forgive me...

Just got to love those furry things tho just remember to use the USB-sockets on the top of the computer instead of those on the front...

So far i've seen a lot of (for me) alien setups so i thought i'd sit down and try to do some "balanced" (as in not too much over or understeer) setups for the street cars on BL1. Mind that i have followed some of the discussions here on the fora regarding locked diffs and overdamping and such and tried to stay away from it while making (almost) competitive setups

Try them or not... your choice

Download, dissect or destroy them at your pleasure

Moar may be coming for other tracks soon, but these are for BL1

enjoy

I made this set, and managed to get it pretty darn stable and fast, test it and see what u think. It may not suite your driving style.

I would recommend a Logitech Driving Force Pro eller Driving Force GT instead of one of those. Or look for a MOMO Force... Check on Blocket.se for a used one if you're out for a cheap option... those two wheels you linked to will not give you any driving satisfaction what so ever.

(i've tested both of those u linked to, BTW)

holy shieeet! i know nothing about pc's n stuff
think i might get a snes instead then

only kidding think im gonna go for an upgrade, i aint been playing lfs long but even at 8fps its in my opinion better than forza and gt5, im definitely a simulation sort a guy and i have a nice slot in my life lfs

Your only bottleneck for the moment is the GFX (graphics card)... I have a similar PC at home and the difference is the my CPU is !!slower!! (2.4 GHz P4 ) but i have an old 7600 gt and im running 30 - 40 FPS w average graphics... So if you're going for a cheap upgrade just to run the game... get a dedicated GFX... otherwise... go all the way

Apart from the evident "fun factor" its also a good way of checking if your setup is any good I figured that if i could get a AI close to (within 1 sec of) and sometimes spot on the "Benchmark" times, its usually a good setup

Something that would be nice is a V8 supercar (a Holden or a Ford replica) and of course some old US Musclecar replicas.

Quote from logitekg25 :

sorry for the double post, but did anybody actually try any of my setups

I did, but found them about one second slower than my own setups so i deleted them. They were clearly not made for me , Good effort tho.

Quote from llblacktid3ll :

is there wasy way to drift with key board?

Well, as a Demo racer its pretty darn hard anyways seeing that the XRG is not all that powerful and as such is not the best drifter Get a licence and get more power... then the fun starts.

Well, matijapkc... The blinds on the right side of the car and on the top of the car fades forward... but on the left side of the car they fade backwards... so i'd say that even if they're lined up they look weird...

Tried to make a skin and it got pretty decent i think:

Jag har replay på både detta och FE3 rev (veckans race). Jag laddar upp dem i kväll.

Quote from Bob Smith :

If you knew the extra time the extra weight of fuel cost you, per lap, and the amount of time needed to refil that fuel, you could calculate which should work out fastest. For the road cars, which refil slowly, and don't have huge tanks, it's usually faster to start with more fuel. Add to that it's a lot easier to pass a car in the pits than racing on the track, I'd want to be in there for as little time as possible.

My thoughts are the same here... Its easier to pass people in the pits and i dont want to spend an eternity waiting for the car to be filled up so i think i will go with a "full" tank this time around... just to see if it makes any difference...

Ok, this goes under "other stuff" in the topic description...

I did an online race last week in which i didn't do that good, but not that bad either. One thing that has bothered me tho, is wether or not it is good to go for a full tank (as in, enough to last the entire race) from the getgo and just do a pitstop to change the tyres (which we have to do) or to go for a, say half tank (to last half the race) and fill the tank at the pitstop too.

I know that the added weight will give me slower laptimes at first, but at the same time, filling up the tank takes a while too... which one is preferred?
