i wouldnt mind givin this a go but would it matter that im on 56k?

i feel it might

[TT]

Uff, last time I played it was still v1.0... with the keyboard it's a pain in the ass even with the FF car :( so I stopped playing.. and lately I rarely have time to stay focused on the screen the time of a race ;)
But the idea is good, I hope it will be fun for the entrats :D

[PATo355]

TT play it with your mouse :wink: Its much better then playing with your keyboard because you can turn the wheel as much as you want.

Downloading.....I'm on Rogers HiSpeed Cable...so my download/upload should be somewhere around 400 kb/s

No problem!

[SFDMALEX]

Ok guys. Post here when you get everything setup.

[BADMIHAI]

Just one problem...I have to leave for work on Saturday at 1.30 p.m. Eastern Time. So until then I can host/play with no problem. After that I can leave my computer on, but I have to see if that would work...Does the host have to change the maps and such?

It's only thursday, so we still dont know what time we are going to play. *waiting for people to say when they can play*

[Ronster101]

forgot to say I have 2000/256 connection so not great for hosting a lot of players, BUT I just saw they have a dedicated server version which I will try to install on my server tomorrow (100mb/100mb), I'll let you know if it works :D

256upload IS TONS FOR THIS SIM tons.

[TT]

I was able to host good races with my poor 100 upstream :)

[SFDMALEX]

I was able to host good races with my poor 100 upstream :)

Is that 100kb/sec?

[TT]

nope, I mean 640/100 kbits .. max upload is a 13 kbs and it was ok. Perfect with 4 cars and only minor problems with 6.. so I suppose a 20+ KBs upload is perfect

[whskynwmn]

ah ok.. I've not tried it since I got my ADSL installed so I didn't know that :) but I was also taking in kbit/s speed so I have 30kb/s upload

I guess I could host if it becomes necessary though ;)

[SFDMALEX]

Ohhh, 30kb is plenty. There are some 56k hosters, but I want the fastest to have a smooth ride.



What time saturday can you guys play?

[TT]

My fuck, only Switzerland has a max upstream of 100 kbits?!?!?!? :(

[fedezyl]

Hey i'd love to play, when when??
do you know if you can use a FFB wheel in LFS???

[Ziploc]

im game if im home :)

EDIT: may is suggest no GT turbo?

GT and GTi provide good competitiive racing with each other

[BADMIHAI]

Ohhh, 30kb is plenty. There are some 56k hosters, but I want the fastest to have a smooth ride.


so then it's still my cable, right?
I mean 400 should make for a smooth run!

I installed the game last night and it's fun. You can drift so easy! Do you guys also have to slow down alot for the corners, or you lose traction?

[Mme Pompardour]

sounds good to me if you host Badmihai.. and yes, its neecssary to slow down for corners


Race time.. I can race pretty much anytime but the evening is prefered time for me

[SFDMALEX]

Ok so the race is tomorrow at 11:00PM EST. Ok? I set it to 11:00 because BADMIHAI got to leave for work tomorrow at 1:30, and I want us to have at least 1hour of fun.




BADMIHAI I added you to my MSN. I want to do a test race today. I guess you'll be back from school at 4? I'll be waiting for you on MSN.
