Ah shurr dew. Was it you I asked the question to?
"American" cars that can easily keep up with "european" or whatever else cars aren't so few, nevermind inexistant like some people would like.

Quote from Primoz :

Basicly anthing BUT an american car.

Do you even know wtf you're talking about?

Doing your best is the only requirement for a clear conscience.

Motorcycles.

Merry Xmas Scavier & co.

That'd be fun. A hillclimb race would be like that.

I haven't played in a long while, so tonight I realized maybe too late (names seemed familiar somehow) that I might have butted into a private race.
You guys should set a password and/or boot unregistered players before starting official races. I don't know if that's what I raced in a few minutes ago, but if I did, I apologize for any disturbance it made.

Staggered tyre widths?

A road course somewhere with bridges over the sea or something. A mix of village B roads and fast highways would be really fun.
Hill climb tracks for the F08 would be awesome.

It's probably just me, but I'm getting a CRC error in the lfs.net hires zip.

Muscle car for the LRF class.... And a GTR version

Sam you shouldn't be explicit about Demo users using cracks. You should just ask why he's posting under a demo account.

Welcome to LFS tim.

LFS is still very early in its development. Custom tracks will probably only be possible once the game's developers are done getting LFS into a stable and final enough state.

The best thing you can do for now is to prepare all the information about the track that they may need to assess before deciding whether they are interested in adding this track to the game. It should be as concise as you can make it - they don't have much free time, if any.

Follow the directions in the Tweak thread. This is the Tweak presets thread.

Bob!

I would bet blindfolded that single car classes instead of more cars per class would hurt more than benefit LFS. Having more cars per class doesn't stop people from having one-car races. Win-win.
I do think that multi-class races GT1+GT2 is no fun for now, firstmost because we don't have enough room for enough cars, and we don't have enough endurance races.

He gave him a correct answer to the given question... No need to get your panties in a bunch over that.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Sorry but a supercar just don't fit into current classes.



Imho, the supercar class cars (more than just a F40 ) should not be made into GTR models; to race in same class with the current GTRs. The current GTR class is more like a GT2 class, we need the more powerful GT1 class and the prototypes. Then we can start talking about real GT racing . Maybe add a mid-engine car into the current GTR class but not one made of hypercar.

Of course the F40 is just an example. Maybe the supercar class could consist of three cars with different abilitities. Then make a GT1 class out of them... It would be nice if the cars looked even slightly the same age. Not like the XRR '82, FXR '90 and FZR '95...

I like the idea too, but at the average rate of new car releases in LFS, that would just mean something like another year with one more underpopulated car class that may or may not need balancing... I'd rather have more variety in the existing classes before that happens. e.g. an RWD F-GTR like an old Fiat500, also in road trim to race against the UF1, and a non-4cyl turbo for the TBOs, a muscle car for the LRFs, both of these two with a GTR version, as well as an RAC-GTR.
I wouldn't prefer this scenario over the exotic+LMP by a lot, but the same old all 4 banger TBO class, the 2 car F-GTR and the LRF and GTR classes, to a lesser degree, are getting a little old as they are now. I think adding to those classes would make for more novelty than a brand new couple of cars in their own class.

Would prototype cars really be that different to race than what we already have?

Zerocool, yes, an F40.. The same way LFS needed a Porsche before the FZ showed up.
I'm pretty sure there's an even better car to fit your criteria, but can't recall it off-hand... It's from the 80-90s...

Found this, somewhat off topic..
IMO though, I think what LFS needs most is something different. If it's going to be a hypercar, then it'd be very cool to have it fit into the existing classes. I can't think of any hypercars that'd fit in the LRF class, but the fitting into the GTR would probably be easy enough. The more cars exist in a single class, the denser the performance distribution cloud.
It would also be very cool for it to have a big NA engine, not yet another inline 4 turbo. It would definitely best be a rear mid-engine car.

Zerocool - Sounds like you want an F40.

I'm not a very touchy feely guy, in general I am pretty dispassionate for anything else than my own interests, borderline misanthrope to some people.
But this girl just puts a wrench in my gears and cogs.. Give her some help if you don't mind.

Thanks.

The sounds are too scratchy. I've played games for 10+ years, most of it with headphones, have always liked them on the loud side, but LFS definitely is what pretty much single-handedly gave me a mild case of tinitis.. this in about 2 year's time.

The functionality of the sounds is great but the aesthetics are mediocre.

Quote from Rooble :

No the rev counter isn't 'good enough' for me to determine my speed, I wouldn't look at the speedometer if the revving engine gave me the information I want would I now?

You could just have an area in the garage setup screen, near the gear ratios, that displays the top speed of each ratio.

It's just a game.

Dude what's wrong with your face?
