I will try to join... Unfortunately, I am in a changing situation in my life, that doesn't allow me participate every time. But I will do as much as I can to participate!

Hello,

Today, I practised a lot again with the combo xfg bl1. And finally, I did it !!!

Could do one time a 1.34.85 and one time a 1.34.90 and 1.35.00!!

Also noticed that there is still room for improvement.

One very important aspect is the braking! I practised the trail braking and noticed that I did it very wrong before. But it was nice to keep up with the fast guys (in fact; it is much more exciting)

But this is XFG... There are still A LOT of other combos to get fast with.
Since I am still very slow with other cars and tracks I find your idea very attractive tibone.
Another problem that comes to mind when setting up a league: it depends where you from... I am European and as I see you come from brazil. So there has to be set a time that allows both regions to compete together...

Did you already post a new thread in the leagues section regarding your idea?

First, when I saw the title I thought someone was joking again. Then I realised...

Anyway, thanks a lot!!!

Maybe, if it is not too much work, the Insim Camlevel 2 effect could be implemented.

thx for the replys!

With trail braking you mean progressively release the brake while approaching the apex, no?

@S14 DRIFT: I totally agree with you that having some knowledge on the car physics can help to progress. But it is a lot of stuff and since I am just discovering the motor-sport it is a lot to learn. So I just use the pre-made settings.

Some more questions:
I've been trying to brake later and hit the brake harder. The problem is, that the car tends to turn into a drifting position. But drifting is no good for fast laps. What do I do wrong?

When and how do you hit the brake... Before, I braked and down-shifted almost simultaneously. I thought the combination of the motor-brake and pedal brake would be the fastest way to stop. But I saw some others that downshifted when the revs were already really low.

It is amazing... the more you play lfs the more you realise how many details this game takes into account!

ok, i've attached a good round in Blackwood with the xfg.

I got the setup from a guy doing 1.33 laptimes and have always been racing with this one. I got used to it.

Also I downloaded the whole package from setupgrid to have always the right setup for the right car and right track.

Would thank you if you could analyse my racing line (which is the lfs racing line)

ok, thanks for the hints.

as i see i need to drive much more kilometers. ok, the 5.000 km I drove are not a reference point, as I said, I drive mostly offline. It could be about 15.000 or 20k in total.

I find the point to practice without racing line interesting. I always drive with racing line. I will try to do it without.

One more question.. how do I save the replay and where do I find it?

Hello,

I want to know if other lfs player suck as much as I do.

I play lfs for over 1 year now. I did race a lot in Blackwood with the XFG. But I never could get better laptimes than 1.35! When I see others doing 1.33 I wonder where they got these 2 seconds.

In the last half year I had a really bad internet connection what prevented me from online playing. Though, I have been driving offline.
I was quite proud of my laptimes since it was getting hard to beat my own pb's, e.g. Fern Bay gold with XRT, FZ5, FXO...

But than came the big disappointment! I looked up the PBs on lfsworld and realized that I was not even close to the champs! Sometimes about 9 or 10 seconds too slow!

I mean, I want to become good in this game, but it seems that you have to dedicate your whole life for it.

I will continue racing but I have no idea how to get even close to these laptimes.

Is it normal that after driving one year I suck like that or are there others who feel the same?

Setting up Fanatec Porsche Carrera wheel
a-k-m
S2 licensed
Hello,

I have a question to the fanatec porsche carrera wheel owners.

How do you set up your wheel for the best realism feel?

What are your settings for force feedback on the wheel as well as in the game?

Do you drive with drifmode enabled? and if yes at which level?

Please let me know every little detail to get the best results out of this wheel!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am looking for a beginner league to join in.
Last week I joined the absolute beginners league... but it turned out, that it was absolutely not a beginner league.

Are there any league you can suggest?

I think it will be a Honda Civic our a Toyota Corolla.
This car for example seems right: http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrze ... AsString=&tabNumber=3

Hello,

I want to buy a car for less than 1.000 Euros.
Is there a car which you would recommend?

Someone told me I should lookout for a Citroen AX 1.4 Diesel. That car lasts long and almost uses no gas.

Also older Hondas and Toyotas should be good... Do you know which models?

Thank you for any hint or advice!

THE PATCH IS OOOOUUUUUT!!!!!!

















oh... no it isn't :P

the coolest things they could improve would be:

-better sound! (this makes a huge difference!)
-tracks like spa franco, donnington park and oulton park etc

even to play the actual S2 version in the named tracks would be awesome..

...Is it not possible to import tracks from other games? (In GTR it is possible for example to import tracks made from users)

One more question:

Is it possible to copy the online skins of other players, so that I can access them offline?

EG. I see a player with a nice carskin. How can I access it? I mean, when the server is loading it says "loading skin XY"... So it must be somewhere around?!

thx for answers!
Questions about the steering wheel and the clutch

Hi,

I want to buy a G25 wheel. Now I was wondering what happens in the game, if you shift (autoclutch off) to another gear and don't press the clutch? does it affect the clutch? will it damage?

At the start of a race... if you don't release the clutch pedal carefully, is it possible to stall the engine? like with real cars...

Coming to an end, I want to ask you, if there's a shop in Europe which has a fair G25 price (max 200 €) and does deliver international (in the EU). It's getting really hard to find a shop anyway which offers the G25!

Thanks for advices and support in advance!

P.S.: So that I don't start a new thread, I write my further questions that come to mind in this Thread.
Where can I find some racing leagues to join which don't require being in a team?

Is the Fanatec Porsche Turbo S wheel the same as the Porsche 911 Carrera Wheel? (http://www.fanatec.de/webshop/ ... 5cad5d88865ad4a45ea5bc6db)
and http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=210

Another question: what is the heel and toe tecnique good for?

A good sound in the game makes a big difference! This should be one major improvement for S3! It gives much more atmosphere to the game.

Quote from Vain :Are you sure they are shutter glasses? Do they have batteries?
I'm pretty firm on the assumption that you've got normal plastic glasses with two perpendicular polarization filters on them. Since your monitor emits non-polarized light there is no way any sort of special rendering could create a 3d impression.

Vain

Ah ok, sorry, did not know that. Too bad

Do you think it is absurd if it would work? why?!

That glasses are shutter glasses and iz3d supports shutter glasses.

It would just be very cool playing lfs in 3d without seeing the colours messed up like with cyan glasses...

Hey I've got a question...

Lately, I watched the movie Avatar in the cinema with 3d-shutter glasses. Now I tried to set up the iz3d driver and live for speed so that it can run on that glasses. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Does someone know the right settings for these glasses?

hello,

unfortunately, the enbseries do not work. I can get to the main menu. But if I press any button eg. option or single player, the game crashes and i come back to my desktop. no error messages, nothing.
Same thing happens when I press shift f12 in the main menu.
I searched around the topic but nobody seems to have the same problem.

Do you know a solution for this?
