When engine damage is included in LFS this is the way I would want it shown.
About the tyre temps in on-line racing. To know the temperature and pressure of the air inside the tyre, while on the move, is cheap and easy. To get a general temp of the tyre surface is quite cheap and easy. To get detailed temperature information about specific areas of the tyre is expensive but quite easy.
IMO (which might just be crap) the GTR cars and the faster SS cars should have the fully detailed temp readings. The road cars can do fine without.
Off-line or practising I would like to have all the data because it helps setting the car up.
I like the idea about seeing the temps only while pitting.
@tristan
Is radio communication and telemetry really that rare in racing?
I'm actually quite shocked by this.
So do the race cars in LFS the UFR, XFR, FXR, FZR and XRR. As those already have the kits I can only assume people who post these things want them on the road cars. On them these kits would be a bit pointless.
For an example: Take the XRR and limit the power-to-weight ratio as close to the XRT as you can. Plus add a hundred pounds for the wikkid bodykit. Adjust the aero angles to the max. Then drive it around.
Here is a tought one. So a little hint might be in order. In this scene the bloke is crawling in a duct, carrying a flamethrower, in searh of a few kids. There are monsters about.
"Some" is the right word. I believe it was changed to rear wheels soon after my car was made. If I'm not totally wrong I believe the -85 model had the hand brake act on the rear wheels. I don't know about the previous models.
Better to hit the rear of a stationary car head on than an oncoming car side first.
Ian, we have to give the guy some slack. He doesn't know how to drive a car with a manual transmission.
Atleast my car (A mk 3 Golf Variant) slows down more rapidly by using engine braking. The hand-brake only locks the rear wheels and then it's skidding time. No matter what the weather, be it dry or wet or snow or ice.
Now my previous car (-84 Saab 900) had the hand brake act on the FRONT wheels. Yes the actual wheels on the front. The ones that turn. Even it slowed down more with engine braking.
You might want to use the hand brake to actually stop but for slowing down the engine is much better.
Stefani24, you can host your own server too. Then you can change the track as often as you like. Because you host it you are the admin and you can kick/ban all those nasty wreckers and other idiots that might cause disturbances.
