That's funy, we noticed the same thing ... check it out, Funked is on OWRL2.
How did u do? Sancho discoed while in 4th. I was runing with 11/19 wing settings ... cutting thru the breeze with pain. I was dramatically slowed for 5-6 laps by 2 crazy drivers going at it in front of me. I had to wait for them to take each other out to finally pass safely. Not a mistake, just cruised around gently, gave me the 5th place. I really suck at tuning those cars, I'll have to get your car settings collection :D

It's ur first race in OWRL, isn't it?

There was a typo and they put me on Server 2 in my first race, with all the points leaders.  I qualified 1:10.5x, P9, and was running as high as P7.  But I started getting sloppy and decided to park it after 35 laps or so.  I practiced enough but overslept and was still groggy.  I'll run the next race though, and since I have no points I should end up on the same server with you jug dweebs.  :)

Blackwood, not reverse, right?  I use csimpok's from that link.
I do mid 10s regularly and high 9s when pushing.  Mid 9s could be done easily with a wheel, but with my gamepad pushing Blackwood kills the tires almost as fast as Westhill.

I had a better one from Paps, of Muroc I think, but I can't find it atm..
It's really easy to find where you can drop time with the replays, watching the Forces and Suspension view, but if you want I can help you out if you send me a replay.

It's the AH of racesims, LFS.  Cheap eye and ear candy for now (it's a "beta"), but great gameplay and netcode, function before fashion.

Info, downloads and addons at  http://www.liveforspeed.net/
http://www.lfsworld.net/ keeps stats, hotlaps, race results, 30 personal skins total for the 20-some cars and helmet in the game, and a lot more that's quicker for you to see yourself than me to plug here..

It's a lot of fun.

What's your gameID, Kirin?

Do you guys use steering wheels?

Post by: moot on November 27, 2005, 09:08:03 PM

Just an Xbox gamepad atm.
Some people manage WRs with mouse or keyboard, YMMV tho :D

Someone made a ghost car mod: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=3322

i find it hard to control acceleration in formulas  and RWD cars in general.

Just take it easy at first.. ride the traction like you do the stall in AH.
You can try putting R1 slicks to help out, although you'll get a better feeling by putting on the slippiest tires you can.  That can get tedious if you don't have the patience though.
slickmod @ LFS forum (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=86)
Put the tire sounds to the max, that helps too.

A good setup for the particular track you're practicing is also best.
If you use a gamepad, it is less easy as you have to have a precise thumb and analog stick.. usually I'm forced to keep the steering lock around 15deg, 12 or 13 in the Formula cars.  The only way to not spin out is to know your lines, but like in AH it becomes second nature with enough stick time.

You just have to get comfy.. pretend the car is your legs.

This thing is definitely more like a spitfire than a jug.  Lotta fun though.  We managed to do some formation flying at 3 inches AGL:
