Live For Speed online racing for LocostBuilders
Hi guys,
This has been discussed before, we have even planned to arrange our private Live for Speed (LFS) race online, but never got to it, I wanted to host a
race, but it didn't work for firewall settings reasons...
Now I got it all sorted and I can host the race.
My suggestion is Saturday evenings starting at 20:00 UK time. Let's try and see if many people join from the forum. The idea is to have a
scheduled race for each week that everyone is aware of and is always at the same time (unless discussed otherwise...)
If you have any suggestions for the timing, let me know, otherwise I will start the race on Saturday 17 February a couple of minutes before 20:00.
My suggestions for the game:
Host name: LOCOSTBUILDERS
Password: locost
Cars allowed: XFG, XRG, XRT (We'll discuss which car to race, but why not start with XFG)
Track: Blackwood GP track
Race: 5 laps (so we can do lots of races, but if you wish, we can run complete qualification and longer - 10 lap - races as well
The game is set so that anyone with demo access can join, just download the game for free from here:
LFS
Use your Locostbuilders forum name in the game, so we know who is who.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Who is interested? Let's see how many people! Respond if you are interested!
Gergely
P.S: I am not a pro at all, but would like a good race with people who do not crash into each other, but race fairly, even if not super quickly...

Costs?
If you download the demo version, it's free. Only 3 cars and 2 tracks in two directions in the demo version, but still plenty of fun. If you
register for the full version it's 24 GBP with loads more cars and tracks. It's a one time cost and you will receive all future updates
for this amount.
But look at the demo first and play with us...

I would but there's something screwy going on with LFS on my box. No matter how much fiddling I do the drivers view is always out of the right
side of the car. Strange but true. Tried different keyboard setups and everything. Even reported it to the programmers but that drew a blank. I
temporarily got it to work properly by changing modes four or five times but it doesn't always work... Strange...
Oh well  I leave the steering wheel and pedals up in the loft....

Yes, it is enough. We will not drive 7 type cars then, only the ones available in the demo version, so download and join us!

Keyboard is fine! In fact the best laptimes are run by people using the keyboard, so no problems... See you there!

Whats a decent lap time for the demo car and track, or alternatively, what lap times is everyone doing?
Just so I know what to aim for
Cheers

Yep up for this.
So much easier with a joypad. I use my Xbox one with an adapter from ebay. 360 wired ones plug straight in. You need analogue throttle to be able to
control the rwd cars properly. Steering wheel is even better.

With the XFG (front wheel drive Fiesta-like car) on the Blackwood GP track the best times are 1.32.xx. Don't let that put you off though...
My personal best is 1.35.45 but I am very inconsistent unfortunately... If you get to 1.40 down to 1.37 I would say that is a good time for some
nice racing.
By the way, a good car setup helps, too. I have downloaded a couple and found one of them quite nice, I will be able to send the setting over while we
are racing online.
So don't worry about times too much, let's see first who joins and have some fun!

I used to enjoy the fiesta like car - although i often thought it was more an AX.
The joy i felt having done a lap in the rwd car without spinning was ..... well, lets just say it gave you an idea how difficult rwd was (with wheels
and peddles) although that was a # of revisions ago.
Get the full version and try the 200bhp mini. Man, thats a handful but fun.

About the same here, I think some major setup work is required before much below 1:40 will happen for me though
