i've been in the RWD car, can't reallt handle it too well using keys... hence the fact i'm going to get a logitech forcefeedback wheel tomorrow!

It's a mint game.. i 'bought' the key, it's only Ł12 but you can race other tracks/cars online.

Cheapest and best game ever! 10/10!!

force feedback is great on LFS!

tis handy coz you know its started to wheelspin/step the arse end out as the steering suddenly becomes all light! lol

my sidewinder wheel is VERY strong too, so the wheel really does grab at you strong when you tankslap it too (just like realife) not just some pussy vibration like you get on "rumble pack" type forcefeedback

i've got a crappy P3 850mhz laptop with 128Mb RAM and an Intel Graphics card so i ain't running a particularly fast machine. I'm running the game at 1400x1050 16Bit and it runs fine but i've put most of the graphics to Simple or disabled..

Play with the Multitexturing, and Halfsize texture settings, they make a big difference. Also turn the LOD down a tad to get rid of most of the graphics far over the horizon that you don't need!

I plan to try it on the TV using 640x480 to see if it's any faster, and i'm gonna get another 256Mb ram coz my comp is slow too

yes, ingame graphics

lfs tweek is cool, but you end up witha 2000bhp car that hits 300+mph on the straights but you have to start breaking about 1 mile away from the corners!
