you can vote to kick and ban online. press N so it shows the connections in the lower right, and click either kick or ban, and it will start a vote.

i rock out on the drift servers a lot, using the rb4 (awd).

Nice, I was on a server the other night having fun until a few started ruining it....Everyone was complaining but there were no votes to get rid of the guy...figured you couldn't

I just checked it out, thatd be pretty cool to get some autocross going on, and just random stuff on blackwood for demo users.

Fortunatley, the XRT is avaliable in demo, and thats the car i think everyone will enjoy the most

LFS is amazing! its just really hard to play with the mouse. WOT whenever you hit the mouse button fails. miserably.

If I were to buy a wheel, I'd go all out and get the g25. ~$200, alas I don't have the money right now. I use the keyboard, and can hold my own.

So when are we gonna do some driftin?

the G25 is usually closer to $300 but you can find it online for like $240 + shipping....

Where you finding it for $200?

The DFP (logitech wheel marketed for GT4) is like $100 now a days, but I dunno if they are still making it so it can be harder to find in stores. Its probably your best bet though. If you think you would every wanna upgrade just shell out for the G25...it only tok me a couple of weeks to wish I had bought one instead.

Its amazing how much better this game is then GT4. The GT4 cars respond all right, but the force feedback is just such **** by comparison. We were playing GT4 at a buddies house last night and I just didn't even wanna play it felt so dumb after having LFS for a while.

Yeah, GT4 is no fun anymore unless you turn off all the driving aids, which is annoying, because you have to go out of your way, and do it on every single car, one by one.

My DFP broke, so i might be getting a G25 for christmas.

I cant decide between that, or this really nice camera (picture camera).

There both in the 300 area, and im stuck on which to get.

This is the reason LFS rocks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b26HuguLwFI

What other video game is involved in real motorsports? I really need a g25 now.

As I was telling Mzeo earlier with the new patch I decieded to get a clutch to use.

I had an old broken wheel over at my buddies house. It has one broken pedal so I had to flip it on its end but it works well like this...I had painters tape laying around so I taped it to the wall.

So now I get authentic heel toe action

I still have the rest of the wheel hooked up, its just tucked out of site. But I plan to open up the wheel and put the chip in the pedal housing or some other container depending on size...

Pffft, I run several day camps TEACHING people to drift....

OK not really...I moved to an appartment with thin *** walls, and a terrible internet connection. I didn't play much before, and I play less now....But still get at it from time to time.

I can drift well enough that you wouldn't have to spend your whole time waiting for me to get back on track (Only half!).

You grown big enough man parts to drift LX yet ?

TTT So does any one still play this game? I just started again on the demo, sucks they took out the turbo XRG(I think thats it) for the F1 car in the Demo(I'm cheap and don't feel like buying S2).Really wishing I had a wheel, using a joystick to drift isn't the greatest lol.

I'm on pretty much every night. Server of choice is Shikane Drift Server, and the rb4 is my drift slut.

Get S2. It's really not expensive, and gives you sooo much more than demo.

Excellent. Aren't you glad you did? hehe

If you're into drift, check out the Shikane server. I'm ususally there.
