and a little bit of wishful thinking:

Lets play a game of picking a car that fits the personality of the person above. Maybe it is kind of beeing a car dealer, but... nevermind, it's just a game

Frankly speaking, racing in LFS I would pick up the car for the fun of driving it. But there is a factor of fitting the car to the personality, so as if you are to meet someone first time you know his/her personality when he/she arrives, and before getting out of the car.

Sometimes things are built strictly with the design:





and sometimes things go wrong:

(which I think is shopped)

Quote from Flame CZE :

There's LFS hidden in it

And btw, you can also read it with the D letter on the left, so it sounds like D'oh, LFS 1.

oh, I get it: D.O.A LFS1

Quote from Nick7 :

Question to people who complain about 'outdated' graphics.

What you actually expect/wish for, as for updated graphics?
What should be improved?

multiple shadows layers combined with direct and ambient light

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

Victor said in the video they achieved realistic behaviour of Scirocco in LFS. So either they were not telling true or I dont know.

It could be just one setting that fit. Problem with racing sim is that racers will exploit any setting that makes them quicker no matter if it is realistic or not. And then it would occur that "real car" feels real just with narrow range of settings.

Quote from Jakg :

A little experiment...

Of my daily drive to Uni.

(5x speed, no audio)

looks quite good, is it MD80 headcam? I'm wondering should I buy this cheap one or to save for GoPro?

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

P.S: either I am too old and hear badly but listen 0:50-1:05.

There are a lot of things which could have been released and has nothing too do with the physics Scawen is working on. I still dont get the point why its not out but its maybe just me.

As Scawen wrote, to obtain some behavior (like extreme camber) the setting ought to be very unrealistic. So as it was expected, the REAL car was and is a challenge for LFS.

This virtual simulation rig looks like an outcome of such a realistic approach tat occured to be too much CPU consuming. It seems reasonable that Scawen still attempts to achieve realistic results not on raw data level (deriving outcomes based on underlying phisics laws) but on specific parts level (like tire contact patch, suspension parts etc.) outcomes mathematicaly fitting the results with sets of coefficients. Thus not calculating everything but that what is needed.


Another words: F**K physics, just get results right on a device level. :thumbup:

Quote from Bob Smith :

Great, now somebody moved all the American markers to Mexico and a bunch of others to Greenland. :| If somebody ever does another, will have to make sure it's private somehow, or you can only add to it.

LFSForum uses IPs to get nationality profile (racers per country) of the current raceres. Cant they be located on 2D map?

Quote from BAMBO :

Well, I guess it's my turn:

Everything is in the description

is this your first car in your life?
500hp/t RWD? I think you are very optimistic, sir

Quote from Agniz :

if that z3 got massive camber, then what's this? ok, those below, looks stupid, i agree

Quote from 5haz :

so they should use beaded edge tyres

but do forget not that US debt is in dollars.
And who settles the value of american dollar??? US Treasury
And who has the most overvalued currency?

Quote from Klutch :

I went once for the mountain road trip with such a clearance... My teeth hurt couple of times whenever I had to go a bit off tarmac

Now I am aiming for AWD drive with more than minimum clearance moreover I plan more trips to mountains going off the trackk sometimes... anybody's looking for 300ZX?

Quote from 5haz :

It just annoys me that people think 'just because its alternative, its 100% true'. Wikileaks's evidence comes straight from the horses mouth, rather than through some misguided idiot's blog page.

well, I think world would be much better when unveiling the truth considers any felonius conspirac. Not the conspiracy of diplomacy sausage making recipe.

Quote from Racer X NZ :

It's not called the wikileaks thread for no reason. And I'm still undecided regarding Assange.

Frankly speaking I dont get what is he aiming for a bit further than "unveiling the truth" (which rather calms down a lot of speculations on conspiracy... or makes the deeper ).

What do you think?

it is a common feature on some incentives and outdoor trainings, called in Poland Skok Tarzana (Tarzan jump) or a pendulum

and yes, I wouldnt try this at home

Quote from RasmusL :

The thing is, this just pushes the world governments further on the road to censoring the internet. This episode gives them so much more motivation to control what happens on the internet, so much that you could even speculate if the governments staged this 'leak' themselves, because people will rebel against the government no matter what information is leaked.

So by leaking some pretty lame documents and blowing it way out of proportions, they get their motive for censorship and perhaps even a motive for the USA to attack more countries.

Oh my, conspiracy theories..

Well, I dont think so. All the mirroring of Wikileaks content shows that it is rather impossible. Else could be done only by really official censorship as happens in China where net communication is closely monitored and distributed with permission. BTW. As I know Chinese managed to transfere most of communictaion from central hubs in US to their servers once so it is not so independent as it seems.

Whole of Assange case is for me a political correctness hoax. What do we know from the leaks? That diplomats apart from official statements have their own, quite realistic, opinions on some matters (which can be accessed in fact by some 3mln people in US). :doh: You know the definition of a diplomat? Someone who can tell you "get the f**k out" in a way that you are eager to take an exiting trip to a wonderful exotic place. So what would change is diplomats will use this political correct code in documents sealed as secret (not top secret )

BTW. No wonder Vlad Putin is now defending Assange for getting free worldwide promo as alfa male in the mafia state

Quote from logitekg25 :

yeah look at her hands, they arent even properly on the mouse or keyboard.

yeah right, she could try to go no-entry on one-way. That's skill!

Quote from John5200 :

wtf signs!

Main road, strikethroughted main road sign, then this no entery sign and then a stop sign. everything within 10 meter. o.O

And right behind the street a main road sign again... maybe the signs mean something different there... but i would be confused as hell.

A mall exit and then the main road I dont call dudes who cross my main road going blindly from a forrest as specially skilled
