I just played for about 5 mins I couldnt figure out how to pull over and sleep so I gave up

Not a very interesting game either way.

Quote from danowat :

How big / old are you?.

Personally, I would say the Suzi is the better of the two, much less stressed engine, will be a physically bigger bike, and have better residual value should you come to sell it in the future.

'08 250r's have excellent resale value

They are great learning bikes but You will most likely grow out of it very quickly. And they are in very high demand

I would reccomend buying one as a starter bike and If you feel you need something larger It will sell quick provided you dont beat the crap out of it.

My server is not getting much use lately.. It's a texas based 500servers 47 slot..

If anyone needs a server (to use for a league only) Because storm servers was shut down.

My server is free for use..for 1-2weeks while League admins search for other permanant servers. I recommend 500servers.com Half price still going on

Pm me First come first serve..

Remember This is for leagues only! Any other pm's will be ignored..

I kind of like the handbrake staying on. It comes in handy occasionally. I could live without it but I dont think it makes enough of a difference.

Quote from T.J. :

It is a bit more realistic turbo-lag in Patch Z

Yes, Back on topic

I think it's very hard to feel the lag (or lack thereof) in lfs. All of the turbo cars seem to feel "ok" Most stock turbocharged cars do not have very much turbo lag. They have properly sized turbochargers for a daily driving application. It's once you start modifying that lag plays a larger role.

My only problem with the lfs turbocharger is the fact that it builds boost very linear (ly?) It doesnt really seem to grow exponentionally. Not sure how to word it correctly.

edit: I just base this off of memory which is not very good. I would have to drive the tbo cars around a bit to get a feel for the physics of the turbochargers in game before I made any real suggestions for improvements.

Xaid0n you cheat!

toki I just noticed your sig you should check out E30tech.com

Quote from MAD3.0LT :

lol na i did mean 2 wastegates on the 1 turbo but the ones im talking about are EXTERNAL ones that mount on the side of the dump pipe from the turbo i see it done on ALOT of high HP cars cause they flow so much air that one 54mm wastegate cant release the presure quick enough


and Mikkel Petersen all i here from u is whining like a female

There is no reason for a wastegate to mount on the dump/exhaust. Where they mount is the opposite of a dump.

Also It doesnt have very much to do with releasing pressure quickly. If a wastegate cannot flow well enough especially on a large turbo/low boost setup you will suffer from boost creep at higher rpms/engine load.

Yea Xaid0n is right

Is it an MGB?

Dual wastegates are actually very common. And they are almost required for split-pulse manifolds.

Bmw E30 for a track car. I'm not sure how available they are in scotland though. They are quick. light, rwd/4wd, fun and inexpensive.

I beleive it's an AC Ace. or something along those lines.

Quote from 1303s_vortech :

It do the job for reasonably boosted engine (like most regular road cars).

It does indeed for low exhaust output road cars.

Quote from tristan :

I don't love the sound of atmospheric blow off valves. They generate the sound known to me as 'pure moron'. Only an idiot would fit one on a road car in place of a recirculating valve.

I know what you mean, Mine is recirculated before the compressor. I was looking for a sarcasm/ rolls eyes smiley to put after that.

Maybe this one will work ---->:riceboy:

Back on topic though I'm sure just about every race car is using a 3 way electronic boost control valve that is controlled by the engine management. Wastegates generally do not provide accurate boost control when using just the spring.

Quote from DragonCommando :

Generaly high performance race cars won't need boost controlers, unless they are bracket racing drag cars. If you have a boost controler on a road car, it's simply for show and serves no function other than to say "I have a boost controler, I'm cool":rolleyes:

What the hell are you talking about?! Why would a race car/road car not need a boost controller? Do you think they just magically stop building boost?

Every turbocharged vehicle needs some type of boost controller. Whether it be electronic, manual or just the wastegate spring.

Quote :

The blow off valve serves a completely different function and controls boost during throttle off, there are no servos or switches of any kind on the bov, just a single vacuum line going to the intake after the throttle plate.

So what exactly are you saying here? Is controlling boost a different function than controlling boost?

But seriously the Bov does not technically control boost it just releases the positive pressure from the charge pipes to prevent surge. And provides that wicked sound everyone loves so much.:riceboy:

Adding things like this would have no real effect on realism for me. I hate how these threads start out as stupid suggestions then turn in to people arguing about how something works.

Adjustable boost levels while on the track is just silly. And it would be about the same a a NOS button everyone is so crazy about.. As titanls said everyone would just leave it at the max safe level and not worry about it. So again pointless suggestion.

Palm ----> Face.

Gumpert apollo sport?

Bought a 47 slotter Great deal thanks

Is ken really that bad? j/k j/k

Just incase you missed it it's http://www.rp-motorsports.net/


Hehe

I also like the XRR better now I have not really given the other cars a good drive yet But from the sound of things they will be better also.

I think it would be pretty cool to be able to do point by's With a hand or something the blinkers can be a tad confusing.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Maybe it's just me, but I find that the cars in LFS stall way too easily, like the engine is too "heavy" or bogged down.

The XFG for example (as a normal road car), unless you use massive first gear ratios with a top speed of 15mph, just can't take off without excessive (1/4 to 1/2) throttle

Are you using a button clutch or a G25 pedal?

I can usually take off very easy(low rpm) If I use a pedal clutch but I have a DFP so I have no brakes

As long as this only happens with tweak I doubt very much anything will happen..
