i'm starting to really get frustrated with LFS. i've hit a total wall -- my lap times are super consistent....consistently slow. when i play online (getting harder to find time these days im afraid) i'm faster than all the silly n00bs but the regulars walk me, so every race i'm stuck in 3rd or 4th place, basically racing the clock.
whats really killing me is braking. i usually do ok with my exit speed and line but i just can't brake well to save my life. then if i go and tweak my brake settings, i usually have to screw with my suspension a bit to compensate for the different strength/distribution, which in turn screws up my grip in the turns and my corner speed. then i have to look at a different line, which ends up being slower anyhow....and back to square one.
RRRRaARRrrrgghhHH! i keep thinking "hey i'll just play more, i need to concentrate and focus, then i'll get a better feel for it." well, all i can tell you is that i'm a hell of a drifter but my times...not so much.
its still fun but i really hope i'm better than this in real life :lol:
