Quote from Scawen :The spoke system has not been designed to load complete wheel objects from other software. What about the fact that the minimum number of spokes is 2? I'm a bit concerned now that people may be loading in entire wheel objects and then LFS will double it and the whole wheel will be drawn twice, which is very inefficient.

That's why we have to cut the whole rim like this to load it properly (which is not ideal).
360 / 5 (spokes) If would be possible to load the full rim ... minimum number of spokes 0?

I drove around for an hour or so First of all ... the car is really fun!

I've driven this car for a few years ... so I know it a little bit.
Unfortunately, the vehicle is a bit too stiff. In the straight with slight steering movements it remains too rigid.

The problem is, I don't have enough specialist knowledge and the English language to describe it exactly. I'll try it anyway ...

I just chose South City Cikane to test it as best I can. The car just doesn't want to be agile (enough) in the "small" curves and movements. The chassis remains too hard. But then all of a sudden the MX5 Leo wakes up in the first and last hairpin bend. And how! Man I really have at home loud "yeah!" roared. Without shit 😅 There, in the hairpin bends and in the drift, I might have guessed the car even without a body. Simply wonderful in these situations. As I said, I didn't find much time and didn't even experiment with the setup at first. I wanted to look at it raw before I possibly adjust something right away. I would be happy if you stay tuned. The car definitely has potential. Thanks very much

Thanks for the reply (and for keeping LFS going!)

Quote from Kid222 :Car is good, but imo it has waaaaaay too much grip for a car without wings.

Agree. The tires are way too huge for such a weight and this power output, and the aero seems ... not in line with the visual Big grin
The sequential gearbox seems a bit strange for such a car, but why not ... it is fictive in the end !
Otherwise, it is very nice to drive, the engine sound is good Smile , but the initial 340hp should not be a problem if the "overall" grip is lowered regarding the performances.

I have a very good feeling about this car and the LFS engine.

Somehow they go very well together. The soft chassis of the Mazda and the way LFS simulates things like that ... Mhmm that could work wonderfully "out of the box."


Very good choice Thumbs up

A problem I can see with popular votes like these, it can become a vote of popularity as well.

A) Popularity of the cars: Cars that are popular will most likely be voted more favourable then unpopular cars or unknown categories. I assume if there were 80s touring cars the BMWs and Jaguars of the era will get better ratings then the Ladas or Trabants of the time even if the letter were equally good or even better. If it becomes a matter of approval, this might become frustrating.
B) Popularity of the creators: Popular mod creators might get better reviews then people with less reputation even when they create a "worse" product. While this might not be too much of a problem when it does not affect the approval, it might be a problem, when the creator himself is quite unpopular and they get "vote-bombed" or similar, even if they created a good or even great mod.

For B) I could see a solution by having WIP mods being tested blind, without disclosure of the creator, at least on the in-game and file download sides. This would require some form of comment function on the mod files, so feedback can be given no matter what. If they choose to disclose their identity on the forum or on discord anyways, it still provides a partial blinding as people who just vote through the in-game function will not necessarily read and follow discord/forum/... discussions.

Thank you ELDemon, i saw this post but incomplete (for me)
2 buttons in the rim editor :
[new point] (create a 0:0 point)
or [Dup point] ...
the 2 functions generate an unlinked point

i just found it by chance :
in point mode : create points (max 14 at all)
in surface mode : link points .... bit doesn't succeed ...

so i am blocked for the rim

what about in build mode for the body , is it possible to add point in a mesh ?
I CANT PLAY LFS!!!!!!!

Hello creators of live for speed! I have played this game for as long as I can remember, well let's say that in 2021 as my pc is not one of the modern ones that can run Fortnite at 450 fps nonononono none of that. Today, November 18, I downloaded it again to remember those moments of happiness that this game brought me. Well, the issue is that I do not load the tires or the mapping of the game! hopefully I can see the pilot model (head only) and the car with the rims without tires. I hope you answer me to be able to give a solution to this ...
Thanks in advance!

Quote from timdecnodder :Another car to join the GT2c

hopefully the full GTRs too

did rethink the "roofscoop" question, and came up with this. Somehow more elegant than the previous one I had (this is the exact shape the sharkmouth opening has)




this Editor is so unintuitive.. or probably just 30000% different to how I did car creation for 7 years in AC Schwitz Like can anyone tell me how the suspension thing is supposed to work? In AC you put coordinates for each anchor point... now here I can set lengths, but no anchor points.. I planned on using the rear suspension I developed (with help by people that know what they are actually doing) for my KRB Lotus, Group-C style rear with anti-squat and anti-dive ... but it seems like LFS does not even allow for inclined wishbones..?

For the reverse gear: This is not a motor from a Honda Goldwing ... So not included in KRT CR, if you drive correctly, you don't need reverse gear Shrug a safety car maybe used for calm the race and each drivers need to put the pit limiter for one lap?

but after this mod, i'll make a "proto furia here's a picture: https://www.mikadoracing.com/i ... ER&id_annonce=1863314 and maybe a reverse gear ^^ maybe!
I need to work the suspension and the engine too, probably tuesday.
any solution of the 720º degrees??

Hello everyone, I refloat this issue ... I don't like anything but someone will have the solution ... the issue of 720º in virtual steering wheel without losing maximum angle of rotation? Let me explain, 90% of the time I do drift and I have always played with the xrt with 720º of controller, 720º in the g27 steering wheel and in the virtual steering wheel that is seen on the screen, but since they updated, the steering wheel is gone virtual to 1080º, having to lower the maximum turning angle from 45º to 29º to continue at 720, but losing many skills in the game, any solution? hug

usually motorbike engines are commonly joined to a gearbox without reverse ... Maybe the real kartcross machines are having this "drawback"
@NENE87 : very nice !

Hi, I very like your mod car - KRT CR. We are driving it mainly on Tc City driving server and could you add reverse gear to it? Would be awesome, because I created preety good setup for it but it's annoying without reverse gear. I've talked to a few people and they agree with me, the car has a lot of potential any it's funny and cool but this reverse ...

i don't know if i will succeed to release this mod cause this is my first time in 3D !
i have Blender since few days and i am drowning a little in LFS editor too

Seems there's also a bug on the crown of the road, where the white lines are placed ...

Quote from Degats :Bug:
You can't place chalk objects (maybe others too) on the ground on the crown of the roads at X=0 or Y=0.
If you place one nearby and bump the X or Y position in a way that should take it to zero, LFS gives an error "Can't move : invalid position

Couple of things.

Maybe the LFS Game Hosting page could be updated with the info on the temp hosting, and how to access the host panel, something like ...

https://www.lfs.net/attachment/240480

Secondly, for most of us, the only thing we know about computing networking, is that its a phrase that we've heard, but have absolutely no idea of how to do it.

My networking expertise lies in connecting a wireless usb dongle to my pc, and adding a user name and password to connect that to a router.

I've had LFS servers from 500Servers days, but they've always been rented from 3rd parties, who've set them up, along with access to lapper.

Quote from sinanju :Unfortunately, due to changes in hosting, can't use my LFSLapper to get overall length of track.

You should be able to point Lapper at the server IP/port you get in the control panel, 'access control' tab and connect it.

Saw this ...



and thought it could be modded by someone to this...



which is a 1950 UK Bedford bus.

Or maybe a White Panel Van of some type.

Both (sort of) 4 wheeled transport, but not sure about what engines could be fitted using the mod tools.

I raised something similar as a track bug ... https://www.lfs.net/forum/thre ... A1-%26-LA2-Layout-Squares

Quote from Scawen :
...Scripts:

Script 'ev.lfs' is run when an electric vehicle is selected
Script 'kart.lfs' is run when using vehicle with centrifugal clutch
Script 'free.lfs' is run when using vehicle with no engine or drive

May those scripts be missing in the Test Patch 0.6V to W43?
Did the "update" and can't find them in the ".../data/script"-folder (driving f.e. Formula XRE is possible)...
