Quote from Intrepid :

When I started racing as a kid it was crazy... karts would be going this way and that way... but the sooner you learnt how to deal with that, how to plan your starts, and how to be decisive my troubles went away. The biggest accident I was ever in was because I braked too early at the start and got a pile of karts hit me... it wasn't there fault... it was MINE

its no different in LFS

So true, I race karts also, I've never had a major crash or come even close...

You make your own luck. It will always be the same people in the accidents. It doesn't matter if they are fast or slow. If you can't race. You'll crash more often.

hey i got it workin, i needed to change it to specific game settings. all good now.

Thanks guys. =]

I've been trying to use the logitech profiler to set a push to talk button on my G25 but everything I try isn't working.

I've set the button as a keystroke and as a command and both dont seem to work.

I know it can be done because i did it on my momo... but can't figure it out now.

Can anyone please help??

YES! The Australian LFS team AKR (Australian Karting Racing/Aussie Kart Racers) has re-formed with new driver, new skins, new website, and new wins!

We are looking for drivers in Australia, or in the same time zone as Australia as we would like drivers that could compete in the AAL and MNR.

So if you are interested, check out our website at www.mamkartsport.com/akr and send me an e-mail and we'll organise to catch up online!

Mitch.

I would like a look beind feature for when you are using the over view.

Currently I cannot see who is behind me when using the hover view. Even a virtual mirror would be fine .

Cheers,

Mitch.

LFS needs a couple V8 Supercar like cars. Would be by far the most popular cars

Ohh and G-Karts!

In my view I think that there are too many tracks that are just made up or corners that have just been thrown into the design and not really planned out that much.

I think the tracks need to be more thought out before being created.

THANK YOU A TONE!

Looks amazing, saved me many hours of tryin!

M Life, That helmet is from the go-karter Michele Bumgarner, she is some hot stuff too :P http://www.karting1.co.uk/bumgarner-karting.htm

Also, could someone please skin the attached helmet which is currently being painted onto my actual helmet?

Cheers,

Mitch.

Thanks for the welcome guys,
I feel at home allready!

Looking forward to racing all of you more, its been awesome so far!

Cheers,

Mitch

What abot "blackouts" like these:
http://www.rbp.com/steven/rsw-pictures/carback.JPG
where the brakelight can shine through?

Spose it would be good to have skined tail lights if you could still see if they are on or not...

If sumone did make a skin with black tailights id be F*&%!
When racing close behind a car I am focused on their tailights just in case they brake early for some reason, if no lights, id end up getting kicked from the room

I have a modified xbox controller which i use to race and the joystick on it is very sensitive....and there is no way in which i can make it less responsive. So if there was a way to change how sensitive the joystick is then that would b a great help. Also a "deadzone" for the joystick which would allow for a little bit of wear once the controller gets a bit of use....my old one does this and it is not controllerble....even in the XFG!
