Gotta do my first laps now

Thank you

More support and hope than brains.
Don't let us down Scavier.

If this is the reason...



Give me a S2 or S1 license?

I play regularly, and I am a aggressive driver, but who knows how to avoid crashes

Quote from Yar-650 :

i suggest to make a system for mods with unique ID for each mod cuz in internets there is many mods for LFS, and some of them r really good, so my suggestion is to make them useful

There is a very useful system to avoid the mismatch:

Mods are illegal.

Great song

Here are seven more songs, all in German with various music styles:

The songs on this forum the link doesnt works...

Any other download/buy link?

You can cruise, but there are no barriers, and you need to follow the track and all chicanes or whatever there is on the track...

@ColeusRattus is right... For best use of the mirrors you need to set it to show everything on the side of the car, not the car...



Imagine that there is a biker on the side of your car, you wont see it because the mirror is pointed to the car...

Thats why show the back of the car on mirrors at LFS is very very low priority, because is more important to adjust it, and for best use people would use it to show what is on the side, not the car....

Quote from CDA441 :

I'm driving with a steering wheel and manual shift (H-pattern) and a clutch, even if i brake before the corner, put my clutch in and play with the throttle, i still bail out in the corner (this in the corner from blackwood with the XR)

First, you need to know that the XRG will always slide, thats a "feature" from the car...

Try XFG and FBM, they are easier to drive... When you be good with them, you can test XRG, but gotta need more and more practice...

Quote from JackSun :

Why not try Redline Racing servers. Servers 1 & 2 are XFG/XRG Demo.
Server 3 is FBM.

I had lots of fun at Servers 1 & 2, but the 3 is always empty

To avoid cutting both in normal and reverse ways, the kerb should be higher (like Singapore ones), so it would be a "natural" limit to the cars...

CARS has good progress reports...
And bad physics...


Just choose... Lots of cars and tracks in a bad sim or a good sim with enough cars and tracks...

Quote from SennaSS :

BUT

The tyre pyhsics are the major issue, In real life you can push to the limit and understeer oversteer ect & not overheat the tyres BUt on lfs you drive like say Hamilton and you get punished for pushing the limits of grip. which is NOT how racing drivers really drive.. a real racing driver pushes and pushes until he feels the car slide and thats why i get so frustrated with lfs you push and you get (red) tyres

First, know before you talk... At various races in this year, Hamilton had tire overheating problems...

How he avoided this? Changed the way how he drive.
In real life races, you rarely drives in the limit. You need to save tires and fuel, so you will be constant, not fast.

Second, there is a reason why Scawen is doing new tire physics... The overheating problem is not new, Scawen found it and is working on new tire physics to fix that problem...

Third, the overheating problem is not so big when you can control the car... If you are a bad driver, you will overheat tires and lose control quickly, but you practice, you will handle the temperature and car easily and naturally...

Its impossible to cut the last corner on BL1, because its grass and uphill, you doesnt accelerate and lose time...

NFS is NFS and LFS is LFS...

LFS is racing, and in racing you don't use "cool" rims.

Quote from Kristi :

So Joe came here to disappoint us even more. The simple Pacejka formula took 20+ years to complete. Scawen wants to build a whole real-time system for this game to perfection and he is only 3 years into the project. What can we expect?

Well, we are in 2011...

20 Years, let me think, its 1991...

In '91, the computers were not as good as at present, there was even much technology to make tires even in real life, so it must have taken so long ...

10 years between 90 and 2000 are the same as three years between 2008 and 2011, no?

Quote from Flame CZE :

With all respect to the devs, I find this a bit weird. I thought that Eric could work on things no matter what Scawen was currently doing and how long it would take him to finish it. It looks like Eric was waiting for Scawen to finish his tyre physics until he could start working. So now, when the tyre physics seem to be nowhere near the release, Eric can make some S1/S2 updates for us. But yes, if he's working on the S3 content and doesn't like to switch from one thing to another, who knows, that might not be the best idea.

Tires are so important as the entire car (suspension, physics, wings and etc)...

To make a real car, you can do first the car then the tires, but to make a virtual car, you need the tires ready to make the car physics...

Also, Scawen said that Scirocco and Rockingham won't be released so quickly, because they found the tire problem, and he can't release a real track without realist physics...


Also... Scawen was thinking what the new tires would take just months to be released, thats why Eric did not made the tracks and cars who everyone wants...



Sorry for my bad english

Quote from Trux :

Funny...Last night I was reading an issue of AutoSimSport from July 2005 (all back issues available here http://www.autosimsport.net/backissues.php) Great reading!

It had a review of S2... So little has changed since then really but the sims still here so...

I was reading the issue, and noticed one thing:

LFS was a true "Community" simulator, created, as it was, by three guys who demonstrated that big dollops of passion and talent (and commitent to see a project through completion) could replicate (and exceed) what developers were creating with budgets these guys could only dream about it. The sim presented the world with a big example of what could be achieved without the pressure of publishers and deadlines.

Too lame what most of the users lost the passion, the desire to see the complete project, and the real LFS spirit...

Merry Christmas for all!

Merry Christmas Scawen, Victor and Eric!

Nice videos, the 3

Quote from edge3147 :

I bet if everyone complains enough, we might get some kind of report. :huepfenic

Curiously, when people stopped complaining and said "Thanks Scawen for your work on LFS", he gave a report: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1658569#post1658569



You can wait in line at the left or to receive something in the right window, even if only a "Thank You". What do you choose?


Edit: Merry Christmas for all!

Quote from acp___(pl) :

ignoring the fact that it does not deal with overtaking, but I imagine that it's not so easy to programing, but do they necessarily have to hit everything in its path? So hard to add a line of code: brake to avoid a collision?

Yes, they brakes... This makes they bad on overtaking also, they brake instead of using draft and pulling to the gide

But if you be stopped at middle of track, blocking full path, even a Human driver would hit you...

Well...

At LFS, there is 3 ways when the cars starts:

1: Race Start. Everyone is ready at grid just waiting the green light. All engines are already on.

2: Pits. The team starts your engine, prepares everything to get you on track. No need for start engine.

3: Autocross. You are just waiting to do that lap, and is stopped at start point. Engine is on, you are just waiting to go.

At LFS you always start race-ready, why would be needed buttons to start the engine?
