^ nice.

yeah, lost of ff while typing was bothering me as well.

also some nice options, like hosts can set that no restarts within 1st 60seconds, and no restarts while cars are racing. a few nice improvements

 

[Renesis]

YESSSSSS! that'll fix my clutch problem (maybe!)

 

[Buba]

^^ You got a manual clutch??? SUCKER! I want one as well!!!
I was also looking forward to the no restart things... That's what bothered me the most in the FG races... 10 restarts before we're good to go...
Even if I start first, get kicked out in corner #1 and have to do a pit stop-> that's racing!!!

[pdanev]

^ join the us in the test-league buba, no restarts, ~20-25minute continuous racing

 

[Buba]

Yeah, I know... Didn't have time last week, won't have time this Sat... At least I would be competetive at Aston... In South City I can go faster than 54 sec...

What probs you have with the clutch? I have used an other pedal set for clutch for some time now and it's workin great (= as good as the clutch can work in lfs. I've said to Scawen many times to make it realistic and he'll do that some day maybe for S2 final even).

 

[Buba]

^^ What's your concern with the Clutch? Realism wise. You want it to grip at a certain and defined point and not gradually over the whole distance? I guess you could set that with DX Tweak...

Tege how about you join as on our weekend races?

 

[Buba]

^^ Be aware: He might be really good...

 

[pdanev]

i looked at his statistics on lfsworld, he sure does race a lot
Travelled distance: 20191 Km
i got 1/2as much, Travelled distance: 10132 Km

What exactly is a test patch ? Do I need it in order to race on the server now ?

 

[pdanev]

^ you dont need it, it says its compatible, meaning you can join P2 servers without the patch. the patch is more interface like things, no car physics and stuff is changed.

anyway, why dont you just install it, its 1mb only.

anyway, why dont you just install it, its 1mb only.

Because I didn't want to install a patch that messes with my LFS version without checking for server compatibility etc first.

 

[pdanev]

i c, well, no worries, it wont mess up anything, feel safe to install

Tege how about you join as on our weekend races?

I've thought about that... and you'll be even more scared when I say that my name is on the credits list but really I'm not that fast.

@Buba: about the clutch it would be nice if you could stall the car and the next gear wouldn't go on if you don't push the clutch etc.

and 20 000 km isn't much... there are guys with easily over 100 000 kms

 

[pdanev]

than you are perfect for us
we aint that fast either, no wr holders around here so dont worry

btw, how did you contribute to the development(?) of the game, if one might ask?

My biggest contribution was the RaceAbout to be included in the game and betatesting physics stuff mainly (I'm almost a car engineer).

(You don't need to say that the RA has handling probs in LFS. I know it and it sucks, but they will be fixed.)
