Live For Speed racers?

[jimmy]

Does anyone on oople play Live For Speed? been playing the demo for a little while and now bought our s2 licences and racing online at work. I've played a few games / sims but LFS seems to be the best / most realistic racer.
Anyone?!

[Chris Doughty]

not played it for a little while, but I was quite an active LFS S2 racer back in the day.

I agree, it is pretty great online racing!

I have started using an xbox wired controller and have it setup similar to a stick radio, its ace!

[Southwell]

I have an S2 licence although ive not played it for a while. It's ace!

[DCM]

I used to play, but then it seemed to be invaded by arses who hit you off, or went the wrong way, so stopped.

If you play on a proper server you don't get any of that - because those people get kicked. Just got to knock out a few team17 skins for the various cars now.

[Hog]

Yeah I play a bit - but mainly in the banger servers where contact isn't just allowed - it's encouraged!

But I do venture onto the circuits for some single seater racing now and again. I use a Logitech Wingman rumblepad and like Doughty it's set up the same as my KO tranny.

well, with the summer hols, only around the corner, think I may just have to dig out the wheel and pedals then, lol.

Whats the pad your on about, that you can setup like a stick transmitter?

I used that setup with a dual analog controller for a while, works really well. Certainly teaches you the meaning of a gentle touch Using a cheap wheel and pedals now and its alot better although it took a while to get to the same lap times i was making with the dual analog.

I still play it from time to time, usually racing xfg's, fzr's or something different. The lx4/6 are good fun, so is the mini but there isnt many people racing them. I use the same handle as on here <-- when i'm racing.

We've got the cheap logitech force feedback wheels and pedals - much better than the xbox pads we were using when we started racing. I'm oople and my workchum is beddall.

I've raced the LX4 a lot on the rally tracks - it's awesome fun but I don't think I've seen anyone online racing it, it's proper sideways all the way.

[Rich D]

I used to race too - Full Logitech G25 wheel/pedal set. Mainly the F3 series i raced in.

[P_B]

Used to play quite a bit of this back when I had 'spare time', mainly RB4 and FXO's round South City. Still have an offline blat on a dual analog pad now and again but the wheel (which I made far better times with) went off to pastures new a long time ago

[mole2k]

Im s2 licensed although I never really play it, much more of a rally fan so I play RBR online for the most part at racedepartment.com which is great fun.

If anybody was up for a few races/arsing about I would be up for it. We used to have a load of fun just arsing about in it. Get about 8 people on the carpark 7 in normal cars and one in a mini with the suspension jacked way up and really soft and springy then the other cars have to tag the mini and cause it to land on the roof Then they switch to the mini and so on.

[Chris Doughty]

we should setup an online server for a bit of an oople arse about one evening.

any car that is not FWD is good with me!

[Southwell]

Im up for that. I might try from work as the firewall has been partially opened. I think a 100/100mb connection should cope.

[Southwell]

Just tried, can't connect to the master server.

[PaulRotheram]

i'm licenced, and have my logo wheel+peds ready.. give me a shout when everyone is going for a play and ill come along

[cjm_2008]

i get on LFS quite a bit, on the fox servers (there are 2 german ones with awesome admin & policing of wreckers).

it's tremendously handy for training the brain to race in real life - I recently discovered that the 'wraparound' perspective used is perfect for tracking the vanishing point, and looking for gaps during starts and overtaking. I have been thinking about getting a g25, but I don't get the chance to race more than once or twice a month.

brilliant game. If someone could come up with a seat that can transmit the simulated inertia to your buttcheeks, it'd be immense.

i've spent many evenings in the past on some of the dedicated UF1 servers - 30 minis tanking round, hilarious fun!
