Quote from Botswanan Salama :

No full throttle chicane.

Nah, Fern Bay has 3 of them and unlike Aston one these are actually stupidly dangerous (or dangerously stupid?). Anyway never had a problem with AS Historic config... Voted Kyoto though

How exactly is AS5 better than AS4?

Quote from Eclipsed :

Care to share examples?

Surely there are many many more, these are only those I know from czech racing community alone...

Quote from Scawen :

Hi, I've done an avi (H.264) of a 24 hour lighting cycle at Aston. I'm a bit new to making videos, but did some code yesterday to output directly from LFS without saving hundreds of screenshots.

It's similar to a GIF I did recently but this avi has much higher quality and smaller file size.

I guess it would be better to upload to youtube, but I'm interested to know if sharing the avi file works at all.

https://www.lfs.net/file_lfs.php?name=LFS_Aston_24_WIP.avi (4.2 MB)

The file works here as well

Can't wait to see this (hopefully) in the official version.

Considering how devs approached the opportunity to have licensed content from playerbase for free in the past, I don't think this is gonna get anywhere...

Had a bit of creative afternoon today and decided to take a look at the yesterday's season finale

It would work pretty much the same way it does now, but extended.

The way it works now is, when player temporarily loses connection (or let's say "has a long lag") his car disappears from the track on the server (with his nickname being shown in the last received position) while the player himself keeps driving, and if the connection is quickly restored, he reappears in the new position where he is supposed to be according to the player's run.

However when the connection is not restored within usually 30 seconds, he's "kicked" from the server and his run terminated. Usually the affected player is able to reconnect to the server immediately, but he's no longer in the race.

So my idea is to extend (or adjust) the period affected player is driving "alone", and rather than ending his run after 30 seconds of no connection, LFS would attempt to reconnect to the server (which is usually successful when done manually) and if the connection is reestablished, let player continue in the race the same way he would if he just had a big lag.

So this is an idea that was wandering in my head for quite a while, but until yesterday I didn't really feel the need to have it.

So the thing is, yesterday we were having quite a big endurance race. During the race I lost connection to the server and my run was terminated immediately as it happens when the connection is lost. However I was able to instantly reconnect to the server and rejoin to "continue" racing several laps down, where being last was the only thing I could fight for at that point.

My suggestion/request therefore is: would it be possible to rather than simply disconnecting player from the server, effectively destroying all his effort, make him instead continue driving uninterrupted "offline" for a moment while LFS automatically attempts to reconnect the server, and if successful, rejoin the race as nothing happened (in safe manner of course), and just in case of unsuccessful reconnection only then stop the run?

Such feature would have saved my day that night and I am sure many players can recall their own situations where this would have helped them...

Quote from Marino108 :

If this theory could be used for propeller and wings in planes, why not on car body and tires too? The tire could be dissected into many pieces to calculate the grip.

LFS these days:


You’re welcome.

Quote from Huseyin41 :

was not bad

I strongly disagree

Exactly what Rony proposes. Let the consumption be as it is and limit the resources instead.
Should be super-simple with fuel. For faster tyre wear I would suggest implementing some new soft/supersoft/ultrasoft/hypersoft/omgthislastsonemetersoft tyre compounds.

my internet conn failed just after green lights. Forgot to charge my phone

Do you use your phone as a hotspot?

Quote from lucaf :

I would have love to race there, but the mandatory pit stop rule killed my interest

Why so?

So while we are waiting for official results, here is my low-effort race start replay video

Hope UF1s don't have to complete 80% distance that BF1s did to get classified

Is there no speed limit in the custom pitlane?

Quote from jueweb :

It is sad, but I want to drive and I could not do it allone.
So I am looking for someone who would share the races with me.
But I am driving FXR, have already trained much, and created a race set.
Ah, race is in a few days ..

Why you cannot drive whole race on your own? Races are only 3 hours long and there will be plenty of drivers who will compete alone. Is a one-man-team really a no-go for you?

Wish you luck searching the teammate.

Quote from lucaf :

Okay, I admit I am getting old. Watched my youtube incar vids and the gray blocks are there. My brains suck. Now I wish I never opened this subject.

Haha, don't worry, we all sometimes have moments like this

They have always been there, even before the universe began to exist.
As Rony mentioned, it tells how much load is put on each section of the tyre (notice how these blocks change as you take the corner).

Looks good (I mean sounds good)

Did you intentionally turn off skid marks?
