You first need to turn on the ignition (flip switch on the left side (by clicking it with your mouse)), then hit the starter switch nearby. IIRC the backspace key was the shortcut for the starter motor if you can't seem to make it work on the dash.
And what could that top speed info possibly be needed for? If you want to know the top speeds then take Bob's VHPA - it will tell you with reasonable accuracy how fast you could (but never will) go in the car of your choice.
I feel really weird defending the ISI engine here, but if the data is input correctly, it can very well handle the suspension movement like that. The real problem it has is that the replay system or maybe the exterior graphics in general do not show what actually happens in the physics engine. The result is unconvincing visuals, but the physics behind aren't actually wrong.
What they did in the nKP video it seems was to go offroad using the highest ride height with a rather soft suspension setup to make it look far more spectacular than what it really is, compared to today's simulation standards.
The problem is that you can't seem to be able to write down coherent sentences. Your last post contains no concrete example or information in regard to what horrible thing Victor did to make you so upset and start this thread. Actually it looks like a passive aggressive flame of which nobody understands where it comes from and what it is directed at. I hate to say it, but (in his clearest moments) lerts made more sense than you do now.
Huh? Of course we know how the LFS longitudinal grip curve looks like:
The actual drop-off might be even flatter as the load spike from sudden acceleration is not removed. The line should *probably* be going slowly but constantly down after the initial dropoff, instead of levelling out and providing constant grip no matter how much the rubber slips. The only question is from where this comes - if it is a inherent property of the rubber itself or a side effect of heating or whatever.
Greenseed I have no friggin' clue what you're on about. Maybe it's the language barrier but you make no sense. What is your point? Right now it looks like all you try is being a troll yourself...
Huh? I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about? The only time I remember Victor not being the calm self and actually using big bold letters in this forum when a certain guy who has no idea about programming (and no incentive to improve despite all the help he got here) continued to post thread after thread basically asking the forum members to solve the simplest of problems for him.
Other than that I don't see anything directly coming from the devs that would be detrimental to the forum's atmosphere. This place being less friendly than before is mainly due to two things:
1) More and more people find and join LFS, and with more and more people the forum's stupid quotient rises dramatically. The relative anonymity is much higher than when it was a tightly knit community, and the bigger masses also attract trolls and other unwanted elements.
2) LFS development (news, test patches, etc.) is currently so slow that the people are starting to get bored and spend more and more time on the forums, bringing their frustration with them.
Actually, now that I've tried it I'm pretty sure the OP has used km/h, because there's no way he's at 60mph / 100km/h in 4 seconds. For me it takes a bit over 7 seconds, which sounds much more realistic.
Either let the free market regulate itself or bail them out in return for a significant share. Throwing money at them so they're able to continue their mismanagement just because bailing out failed companies is the latest fad would be the worst course of action. Crash, burn & rebuild, or save and get rid of whomever/whatever caused the failure. Each has its pros and cons.
Buy the S2 license.
A voucher is only used if you want to buy S2 for someone else, though there is no harm done if you buy a voucher as you can simply use it yourself. Doesn't matter in the end.
Also, look at WR laps to see where they drive faster, or even directly compare them to your hotlaps with one of the lap comparison tools (Analyse For Speed, etc.)
2) If the throttle is always showing full but decreasing when you press it, you have to invert the throttle axis. To do this, go to Options > Controls > Button "Axes / FF", find the "Throttle" button and press the "invert" button next to it. If you look at the animation in the manual (link above) you'll see how a G25 has to be set up in general.
3) If the steering is too sensitive, you probably don't have it calibrated correctly. Go to Options > Controls and make sure that the calibration lock (on the right side of the screen) is turned off (set to "unlock", I think). Then press recalibrate and fully rotate the wheel left & right and fully press each of the pedals so that the full motion range is detected and used.
No actually the few decent posts are the reason you're not on my ignore list, though it's a constant battle of the shitty ones trying to take over. Was quite fun looking at your self-conversation in the now locked cruise thread, though.
