Recently i've been watching BMI, and they've showed some data about suspension of Civic type R 98'.
Front:
Springs(kgf/mm) 4.5
Damper(kgf) (full) 231
(short) 142
Stabilizer(inches) 0.98
Rear:
Springs(kgf/mm) 2.5-4.5
Damper(kgf) (full) 100
(short) 59
Stabilizer(inches) 0.91
Anybody would know what will be the conversion?
Would be possible to calculate stabilizer so it will be in the same units as in LFS?
Edit1. Searching internet for answers. full short means bump rebound damping?
What might mean 2,5-4,5 for rear springs? I mean... that it is customizable?
Edit2. So:
1 kgf/mm = 9,81 N/mm
0,98(inches) ARB without knowing anything else is giving around 96,9N/mm(thanks to VHPA)... that's rather too much for a hot hatch?
Edit3.
Still have slight problems, how to convert damper values(kgf) to LFS values(Ns/mm)? What does this short, long means? Bump, rebound?
Edit4. So... springs seem to be correct, the rest.. well.. i experimented . Drives quiet nicely
Mate, the difference is that it is literaly THEIR JOB... so they can decide what to do and when. Stop spam in this thread, there are different threads all over the forum.
THE INTERVIEW IS AWESOME! Seriously... GREAT JOB! Best wishes to Vic and Eric!
Edit. But yeah... i can already imagine lot's of questions "why the hell you didn't ask about updates" , it's nice to hear that they also play LFS , although it's a pity that Victor plays it under different account , and we want more races with Eric also !.
... ok ... well... except that . It's just annoying that people are thinking that they might get more(Scirocco GT24 WTF), because it will only disappoint them propably. Yeah we will get Scirocco... and Scawen MIGHT be working on more complicated suspension(multilink in the back ftw), but we certainly won't get anything more or at least as significant as Scirocco in this patch propably. Scawen said so himself. So there will be no Scirocco GT.
We will get Scirocco and some minor updates and that's it. There will/might be physics updates in this year but not in this patch(Scawen said that his main focus will be physics and some other important improvements which will be important for community).
Scawen knows :P... and he said so himself(about nothing else)... yeah we might get something but that would mean he is a liar... and I doubt about that unfortunatly .
OMG GUYS! We're going to get ONLY THE SCIROCCO! Jesus... it will be slower than TBO, couse it is heavier and has less power, it will have TC, ABS, ESP and maybe electronic diff(whatever it is :P). Cut the c*** about getting different stuff. There will be ONLY Scirocco in this patch, and by only i mean there will be NOTHING else, and if(somehow) there will be... then You will be at least positively suprised. Oh man... for the first time I am starting to get annoyed... and when it will be? NOBODY knows, personaly i hope that we will get it in this month, but i'm starting to doubt that. April maybe(at 80% in my opinion).
So You say that You are a spoiled brat... what's the point of doing thread about it? It won't do anything good for You(some people here might post things You said which might prove that You are who You are for other people), and it even might give You more "enemies" who will again spam Your box..
Yeah, a newbie wouldn't have any idea that M... whatever is LFS until he/she will download it and install it . I tried to search using Google Translator for any mention of LFS on MTV3 website... without success .
I hope not.. at least not toally... for crying out loud, what we need is something like IRacing stuff, ROOKIE setups and PRO(like it is now, because it is fun playing with suspensions, differencials settings etc) setups, and server enforcing one. Thanks to LFS i've learned a lot about car behaviour and I love playing with those options.
Guys, some new gaphical bugs appeared after Z Test patches, and they might be quiet difficult do fix. I'm not a full time programmer, but i know that sometimes a small bug can take week to fix(simply searching for it through the code is really tiresome). Scawen propably didn't expect such a problems, and new bugs are still posted :/. I believe that he is hard working on it.
