hi...
looks like the LFS thread was revived again... i tried in vain to promote this game last time... This is the BEST EVER driving simulator for the PC. Period.
i've been playing this game since mid last year... and bought S1+S2 since november last year. using logitech momo racing.
however i've recently taken a rest from this game due to other priorities and just sold my momo to my best buddy in this game. will be making a return to the LFS scene at the end of the year with a Logitech Driving Force Pro.

And btw, for you LFS lovers... there's a Malaysian LFS community over here at Drift.com.my. As far as i know its the largest gathering of Malaysian LFS players...
check it out: http://drift.com.my/forum/viewforum.php?f=18


My personal FZ50 GTR skin... =)

@farique
u are using 9250 for these ??

btw, this game is just about drifting ?
*
this game is not just about drifting. its simply the best driving simulator for PC.
because its a driving simulator it means it simulates what cars do in real life, and from there u get driving enthusiasts from all categories, namely, racing(grip), drifting, drag, etc.

because of its realism, serious drifters looking to get as close as possible to the real thing love this game far more than any other driving simulator for the PC. but mind you, more realistic means harder. but harder means more serious, and more serious means more fun. therefore prepare to learn from ground up. if u are a super duper drift king in need for speed underground, you will be stumped by how drifting in this game handles instead.

i used to use mouse back last year. but i wanted more and soon after that i moved to wheel.
driving with a force feedback wheel just makes a whole world of difference.

Wow, this game is amazingly realistic. I love it, time to get FF wheel. Time to  get back to basics. The feel is kinda similar to GTR. Perhaps the same physics engine?
*
nope different physics engine and different developer.

QUOTE(smokey @ Sep 19 2005, 11:13 AM)
but i think theres some bug,...when u knock the wall at high speed or when people knock u,ur car sure will fly all over the place...

and the damage modelling to the car is not nice...engine sound is so-so...

jz my 2 cents
*
there's a bug in the pits, coz ur car like merge into the wall and it gets flung out.
sometimes accidents online can cause some pretty serious (albeit hilarious) crashes. this is caused by the lag, coz of the tendency to merge into another player's car if u drive into him/her, and both cars end up getting thrown apart. well this bug cant really be helped coz its just mainly gotta do with lag. if there's no lag or very little lag u wont experience this.

damage modelling is both of a mix of good and bad. the amazing thing about the damage modelling is its actually a live damage model, where u hit and how hard, thats where u get the damage. its unlike most other games where the damage model has already been prefixed, so u will always get the same damage look. the downside is, u wont see scratches and shattered windows. only the polygons on the car is altered and nothing else. hopefully future versions can improve on this. and of coz its still in development, there will be S3 in the future.

sound wise, well some of the cars sound a little bland, that is, until u drive some of the GTR cars and the single seater racers...

QUOTE(LittleLinnet @ Sep 19 2005, 10:51 PM)
actually, i would like to know wat is FF layout and FR layout
anyone ?
*
u mean what is the meaning of FF and FR or which car is FF and which is FR, etc?

FF=Front engined Front wheel drive
FR=Front engined Rear wheel drive
RR=Rear engined Rear wheel drive
MR=Mid engined Rear wheel drive (midship)
F4=Front engined Four wheel drive (4WD)... ok i invented this 'F4' i donno if the abbrevation actually exists. coz a 4WD car does not neccessarily mean its got a front engine. real life example: Porsche 911 Turbo, its a rear engined four wheel drive.


in LFS it only describes where the power is driven to (eg front wheel drive or rear wheel drive), but you can tell whether its a front engined or midship layout by looking at the weight distribution.

anyway,

XF GTi = FF
XF GTR = FF
XR GT = FR
XR GT Turbo = FR
XR GTR = FR
FXO Turbo = FF
FXO GTR = F4 (4WD)
RB4 GT = F4 (4WD)
MRT = MR
LX4 = FR
LX6 = FR
FZ50 = MR
FZ50 GTR= MR
UF 1000 = FF
UF GTR = FF
Formula XR = MR
Formula V8 = MR
RaceAbout (RA) = MR

argh .. i tried the training, the FR car doesn't seem to have any grip at all. shakehead.gif
*
i think u were either understeering or u were heavily oversteering.
if u were understeering u probably found u couldnt turn the car.... that means u were applying too much steering lock. remember that turning the steering more doesnt mean u turn more, but instead u'll just understeer all the way. tires have limits on its lateral grip.
if u were oversteering and find urself spinning out every time, u need to be more gentle with ur gas pedal. u cant floor it all the way all the time.

I got this from BOB SMITH of LFS official forum. I did tried his setup with few modifications made to the suspension stiffness and ride height. All I can say that his setup is very easy to drive but not that real fast.

So, guys can we share car setups here. Btw I have included my setups as well, feel free to try and please comment on how or what I should do to improve straightline speed and cornering speed. Oh wait I can't found my setup files. Anyway I will try to include it later, meanwhile newbies can give the easy setup of BOB SMITH a spin.

Just put the files in the DATA - SETTINGS folder, you can then choose the setup in the garage.

Farique and metal_zone, care to share your setups and tips.? tongue.gif
*
I'm only good at making drift setups hahah. I posted mine above.
I normally use other people's grip setups (good ones only of course) as they always seem better/faster than my own.

I've taken a rest from LFS till end of this year due to other priorities... so I may not be able to offer much help during this period.

ok guys, here's a Drift replay of two laps on Blackwood Reverse with the XR GT Turbo.
Courtesy of Stanley^Carter.
Place in folder "Live For Speed\data\spr". Then, view in replays menu in LFS.

This is how we drift in LFS. Replay made using my setup as posted above.

Enjoy!~

u steer with keyboard? shocking.gif Ive met other drifters drifting using keyboard and their drifts are soo cool.. but, more cool is when drifting with steering wheels!!
Try the mouse+kb combo..
what i did for my kb+mouse sets are:
D-> gas
S-> brake
A-> ebrake
Spacebar-> Clutch
Left_Click-> downshift
Right_click->upshift.

hmm... others might wanna try my suggestion... I wrote in Drift.com.my's LFS FAQ...

Metalzone: will u share ur replay 2? reli wish can play like u guys

is it only possible to drift with wheels? share your opinion. im drifting with my rumblepad. so far, i still can drift sometimes but most time i spun out! hope can get a DFP soon!
*
LOL if u really wanna see my replays its in the demo version 0.5L. you can download it in Live For Speed's website. after that i retired from LFS temporarily, shortly after the full version was released, so you wont see any more replays from me until my comeback.

anyway, i have zipped up 4 of my replays of the same track (blackwood GP reverse with the XR GT Turbo). one of them having a 360 spin into the chicane at the back straight.

remember, they only work on version 0.5L.

ahh i miss those days when i was door to door, side by side at 120kmh with stanley.

edit: here's a link to download 0.5L http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=s2demo
its only 27MB

hehe good for him. it'll be even harder for me when i get my DFP and i have to get used to 720 degrees all over again. i hope real life drifting with higher steerin lock helps lol.

crabjim: well maybe end of the year, or maybe even later. i've got other more important priotities for now.

no, its his blown tyre. and yes alexus. you can actually blow ur tyre.
coz there's a tyre wear engine. that means u can wear out ur tires and u get very little grip. press F9 to see the tires condition.
