I have provided a private LfS server running the demo so that, amongst others, the LAN attendees without S2 can give it a try.
The server is called: Dead Men Racing 2
Password: mymates
Any S2'ers will need to remember to select 'Demo' when entering multiplayer mode before joining this server.
what's a decent time around that track in the FWD car?
Quote from: suicidal_monkey;148106what's a decent time around that track in the FWD car?
About 1:35 or do I mean 25? :blink:
EDIT: WR is 1:33! So 1:40 for a mere mortal.

Do you mean for me or someone who knows what they're doing?
I meant what we'd need to be hitting to be competitive on the server...even 1:40 is pushing it ;) ...must get my wheel set up again, keyboard controls suck

Forget times.
It's a bit like CS where what you want is to come away having had a great map - you're own score being irrelevant. With LfS what you want is to have had a good clean race. One where you stayed on the track, didn't cause others to crash unnecessarily and with a bit of luck included a close tussle with a fellow racer.:biggrin:
I feel the pull coming on again............

Ahh. This is where the race within a race comes into it. The teararses battling it out up the front while us mere mortals have the real fun :biggrin:
Smiteeee - resistance is futile 8)

Harrumph.
mmm i noticed that there is a mistake in my last post, it should be at the left side of the page :unsure: lol
i prefer to use these sets, they are really good, but test them first cos each one has its own difficulty. (most are actually wr sets :whistle: )
i ll add u guys to my buddy list on lfsworld so i can see when u are online!
cy later
Most of the sets I've used in the past have been wr sets. makes no bloody difference! You're either a 'fast' or 'not fast' driver, I'm a 'not fast' driver :smile:
Yes, but you should change your setup by deselecting "Bloke in front of car waving red flag"
in lfs it's all about training ur skills, trying to attack the corner in a different way.... and 1 day u ll manage to keep up the pro drivers. (i look forward to that day!!! :biggrin: )
In the fwd car I reckon it's largely about keeping it smooth whilst maintaining speed through the corners, especially on the exiting of said corners... 1:41s with the keyboard (stabilised) and 1:43s with the mouse are my better lap times so far. Mouse-control is much much more responsive but I find it very tricky to judge how far I've "turned" the wheels so end up skidding it too much which kills exit speeds. The setups make a difference to how forgiving the XFG is to poorly mouse-controlled steering :) mouse doesn't "return to centre" either of course, which can make the straights interesting!

:lmfao: My days are running out. I've peaked too early! Hey! It's nice being patronised. :biggrin: And you lot complained.
those times are really not that bad, with a wheel, and after some practice u can do about 3-4 sec faster. The fastest lap for me on blackwood (xfg) with the mouse was a 1 37. was a good time but way off the pro's lol. but i recommend u to buy the S2 full game, much more fun!!! it's certainly not wasted money
due to there being drawers in the way my wheel doesn't really affix to this desk easily (and no I can't get a new desk...) ...it also didn't affix to the desks at the lan, at least not conveniently due to the bits of wood ... perhaps there are other wheels with better clamps that need less desk-edge?
I think i got a time of 1:35 on BW way way many many moons ago..... Back in the days of Demo only :smile:
1:37.85 0n demo GTi

1:38.23. LFS world. I reckon the 1:35 came from those
very helpful keyboard control days. Remember those? :smile:
LOL i beat the world record :biggrin: I wish.
I have no idea then
.... Keyboard was the way forward. Throw away those pesky wheels and revert :tongue:
1:36.51:unsure:
