only thing that i think can change for the lx8, it should have a 4 liter v8 engine

why not?

thanks

in our stock car we have 43 cars in a grid, none of the tracks are oval

Quote from GeForz :

+1 for a real testing area ^^

you know.. somethin like this: http://www.gkndriveline.com/dr ... oving_Ground/overview.jpg

very nice

+1 for something like that


about oval
no, thanks

rallycross is really fun in LFS, but it's not popular

people like to race on tarmac because it's got grip and it is fast

IMO rallycross is the opposite of that, slow and gripless, wich is very fun, at least for me

i am not so good at rallycross as i am on tarmac, but still, i have a really good time racing on some servers filled with 15 people in it, great fun

maybe when/if we got a rally pack, rallycross will become more popular in LFS

well, like i said
it would only be usefull for league races, otherwise it is pointless

and, of course, should be a server option

can't imagine start in the pits, do some warm up laps, line up in the grid and then race 5 laps

this came up im my mind since we got proper false starts

how about a command like "/start_race"? of couse this must be a serverside option

what is the point of an /start_race command?

it would be very usefull for league races, instead all the cars drop on the starting grid magically, they all start on the pits, and the drivers take their cars to the starting grid

after every cars is aligned on the grid, one admin (race director) gives the /start_race command, the lights show up and start counting down.
when the green light goes off, the clock starts counting, just like a normal race

i know that it is fancy and useless stuff, but it would add some realism to league races and it will make we fell like we are in a real race, with all the "ritual" before the race start

and for sure, that is one thing to be in a "hardcore" mode

Quote from illegal :

In the setup screen with the UFR loaded, you get more possible penalty weight when you add the driver. You can move the slider to 130kg with the driver, but only to 120 without. Is this a bug, or a feature since the flying MRT issue?

in W10 you can add a max of 20% of the weight of the car, so if the car is loaded it will be more heavier*,then the max ballast also will be heavier

*heavy, don't know how to write it right in english

well, how abou try to leave the FZR with 90kg of ballast instead of 100?
also, remove 5kg of ballast on the XRR

IMO the FZR must be a little bit faster than the other GTR's, due its NA engine and centre of gravity
the XRR should have more top speed than others gtr's, due its turbo engine
the FXR it's fine IMO

of course, it should not be like before the patch, where the FZR was a lot more faster than the others GTR's

Quote from Shotglass :

I´ve tried that extensively with reving the engine and rapidly moving the wheel to make the car jump around a little I´ve also tried shift+r on steep inclines repeatedly to see if it´s got anything to do with it. Result was I couldn´t replicate the issue that way. However it was done in SP and on my own dedi (0 lag) so I cant be 100% sure that it might not me an issue with lots of lag.

well, that happen on a server that has a little lag in it, i can't remember the name, but is think i was on "Dead Men Racing" running TBO@AS national

many people joined the race before it start, and all of them got "spectate"

if that happen again i'll try to save a MPR

i dont know if was already posted here, there are too much posts here, so read every single one is hard

if you join a race when its starting (before the green light, of course) you are forced to spectate

maybe LFS thinks that the "drop on the grid thing" is the same as doing a false start and walking more than 4 meters

sorry for the bad english

i found the rb4 a little bit faster than the other tbo's now, the fxo is too slower IMO, the XRT seens to be fine, just need a little tweak to be equal to the rb4

on the GTR class its the same thing, AWD is the fastest, the FZR now seens to be the slowest car
the FXR seens to be the fastest on most circuits, the XRR is between the FZR and FXR

sorry for bad english

i think i found a problem in the false starts system

if someone get a false start and go fast to the garage (shift+s) before the green light comes out, then leave the garage(go back to the grid) the DT penalty is gone


i don't how to describe it very good in english, so i'm going to attach a mpr replay that reproduces the bug

this is bad, someone who get a DT penalty due false start can get rid of the penalty before the race start

sorry for bad english

this would be nice in a hardcore mode, very useful for league races

IMHO qualifying and race should start from the pits

and in the race the drivers takes their cars to the starting grid


that should be a option of course, do all those things for a 5 laps races wouldn't be very nice

but as long we dont get false starts that wouldn't work

buy s2

then you will have lots of combos to drive

+1

i got too many setups here, it's a pain to find one that matches with the current combo

also, we can have a feature to import setups from other combos

i don't think that its a hard thing to be implemented(this word exists?), we already got setups sorted by car, just need do add the track prefix to the setup name
like: xrt_bl1_hotlap

i guess that this feature could be done in a compatible patch

Quote from DragonCommando :

I was taking a corner and the RPM started to drop, I was wondering what was going on so I pulled over and hit the brakes.
The engine was actualy off!

sounds like you ran out of fuel

Quote from joen :

One word: licenses.

If modding would be made possible there would be one (IMO) very important condition. And that is, all content should be part of an automatic update system. So LFS itselfs keeps your content up to date whenever version 1.0.2.3 of mod XYZ is released.

yes, the licences would be the big issue if the devs, somehow, be a part of modding.
but if they don't?

one aumomatic update system could be done by someone in community as a add-on
this way the devs stay away from anything related to mods

GPL has a huge collection of tracks, how they did that? i suppose that GPL developers didn't pay for licences, because those mods are made by the community

Quote from joen :

That's the hardest part of it all. Who's going to determine the quality standards and who is going to control them?

just like you propose, the community votes for the best mods, they do some offline "test-driving"

but, whats happen after the mods are chosen? the devs must update the master server.

i may be wrong, but that way they get involved with modding, dont they?

IMO i guess its a little bit soon to discuss modding, we dont even got S2 finished

ps: sorry for bad english, i'm not used to write that much in english hehe

after s3 is out, why not allow only track modding, we get some REAL LIFE tracks?
with a quality control probably some good stuff would be released.

i see the point of view of yours, if modding is allowed a lot of crap would be released, also online racing will become very confusing with a lot of mods around.
but if we have a team of modders, allowed(right word?) by scavier to make mods, only good mods would come out

and who wouldn't like to race a fzr(maybe a lx8) on Nordschleife ?

acho que o link pra esse forum deveria ser divulgado no site da LFSBR e no forum brasileiro

acredito que pouca gente sabe da existencia desse pedaço nosso
