now why would he release a tweak for Y. that just doesnt make sense to e just wait for the tweak for Z. i tried robbies tweak for Y on the patch Z and ive been fooling around with numbers but its difficult to use it. just wait you will get one sooner or later.

I hope its sooner and not later...

you made my day shadow!

Ok the new patch is out.. where are ya bob?

BOB for christs sake RELEASE WHAT YOU HAVE!

Quote from Bob Smith :

Indeed. I've not updated my app for any patch after X10, so he can't possibly have a version for Y, seeing as I've never given the source to anyone.

Its been like 3 months since you said a month, just release the source for christs sake, whatever you have.

Well atleast theres one other mature person in here...

Quote from spanks :

nitro methane is not the same as nitrous oxide

and cardriverx you got to the topic of drag racing before I could

Nitrous is just another method of forced induction...boost in a bottle. Its not NOS!!!@1!! either, NOS is a brand. It would be quite fun for the drag strip to have different stages and amounts to mess with. Anywhere other than the drag strip (or on unapropriate cars) would be meaningless though.

Also, to anyone who thinks a manual transmission is instantly superior to an automatic...stop being so naive

Quote from Stellios :

This again

No to nitrous at all, this is a racing game not NFS. and in real life you wouldnt use nitrous on track.

Im pretty sure you are totaly wrong. Nitrous is a great power adder for the drag strip.

I say as long as we have a dragstrip, who not Nitrous? Of course it would have to be configurable for jetting, tank size, wet or dry shot, port or mani injection, etc (not that many of you would know what all that is, there are alot of very ignorant people here).

And of course, you wouldent be allowed to put a 300shot on a XRG, thats totally unrealistic.

This would go very well with my discussion of a realistic automatic transmission

Some of you guys have to realize that racing covers straight line and turns. This is a racing simulator, so it would only be fair to include drag racing too. Sure this doesent have to be implimated NOW, but I say put it on the list. Along with

Supercharging

A real automatic transmission

noone has an update?

Questions are:


Why is everyone overexaggerateing this


And, who the hell would vote for no tweak?

Watever, I have my copy of a tweak for Y, so I dunno why im even posting. Off to make a 5000 hp BF1..

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Next time you bunp a thread, post something useful. I'd love to see Slickmod in patch Y to go with Tweak. Maybe Tweak and SlickMod could be combined into one program?

Im pretty sure all I wanted was to know when there will be a slick mod for Y, hence why I bumped the thread...

just bumpin the thread...

+1 for a drag car


yeah, I said it bitches.

Quote from Leprekaun :

ah! lovely, drag racing still too hard with manual transmission?

NO! I just want a simulated torque converter, thats all im implying.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

The road cars would be available with one IRL, that's reason enough. Obviously it would be silly for everything but the road cars.

Struggle all you want, but conventional autos ARE better for drag racing because they allow better control of launches, instant shifting, and guess what - they can (generally) handle higher torque throughput than a typical manual can simply by design; how do you like that?

Go hang out at a drag strip one Friday night, and see what percentage 11s or quicker cars run a manual!

edit: @above, not just "easier" to launch, which is true, but also MUCH easier on the trans. Repeatedly lauching a 600+ HP car with a clutch is just a source of heat, wear, and a money pit - all for something that doesn't work that well.

The strip may be a side novelty for now, but hopefully it won't in the future. Might as well consider what types of cars should eventually run there!

True. Would you like me to add one?

I hate you untill I have your tweak thing.

Quote from ajp71 :

What's the point in simulating proper automatics in a racing simulation?

Currently the drag strip is a side novelty, although I still struggle to believe anyone would choose a conventional automatic over a manual for drag racing anyway. So long as automatics are useless there's no real point in simulating them because it doesn't effect racers, in fact why there's an automatic option is beyond me.

Because all high horsepower drag cars use automatics? It is easier to launch, faster shifting, keeps turbos spooled, etc etc

Guys,

I am talking about an automatic that simulates a torque converter. By adjusting stall speed and converter lockup (like you can in a real drag car) you can really benifit in drag racing. It helps with launching (power brakeing), and when a proper torque converter automatic shifts, it keeps the turbo spooled in a turbocharged car.

If we have drag racing in LFS, I do not see why this should not be considered.

Also, with a true automatic LFS would be the best drag sim out there too, along with one of the best racing sims.

P.S I am not talking about SMG autos, dual clutch autos, or anything like that. I am talking about a torque converter auto

An example would be powerglide transmissions, or API transmissions.

I have seen the threads before but noone has mentioned this

An Automatic is better than a manuel in drag raceing

period! It would be very cool if we could acually adjust stall speed, if it acually shifted like an auto. Right now it is like a horrible auto-manuel. If we had adjustments like stall speed and converter lock (you would have to simulate a torque converter) That would be awesome

discuss.

im pretty sure tweak makes the game alot more fun...

why is tweak for vertion X takeing so damn long.... comon ppl!

I want the mechanik for patch X... really bad.

rotarys rule, and the people who bash it are just plain mis-informed. Whats the big deal about a quart of oil every 3k miles? Its part of how a rotary works..

+1000!!

Quote from spanks :

I want the old s*****y live axle, leaf spring, soft shock/springs, rubber bushing handling that I know and love!

I agree


Can LFS do solid axels?

Quote from XCNuse :

No cars in LFS are supercharged though?

im just saying for the sound.. and its nothing like gear whine.

It would be nice if we could have a supercharger whine that could be created using shift+a. Sure none of the cars are s/ced yet, but I sure love that whine.
