What about making another topic for Kitchen updates? Here should be only LFS related things cos this way this thread su.. well not the best

Welcome in S2
But what about trying other cars than always that damn GTI? I have cold shiver when i see that car in the list and wont join.

Yep it's quite strange "people" pay for S2 in order to ruin other's races. There is no better entertainment for them on a Wednesday evening. :pillepall

There is another strange curb on that track: at the slow right hander just after the 2nd split if we hit the inside curb sometimes it flips RAC (We just had a race with it) - the car was not sliding when going on curb. And the funny thing is that I know about 2 other people who had the same problem and every time the car has an accurate 360 degree flip... so it ends in the correct direction.

Quote from Tweaker :

Sounds good, but that chicane coming off of Kyoto National is not a place where most people go and floor it on exit

Wouldn't mind having sounds like this in LFS overall though

Oh I just realised how bad LFS sounds today... these kind of sounds would definitely boost enjoyment.

Quote from Daedelus :

Well... I just watched the top XRG replay for Blackwood. Not so much driving, as drifting every turn... He's taking turns I'd take at 80Km/k at 120+ !
I know it sounds absurd, but his XRG felt like it was pinned to the ground, and was running road super tires.I just run a slighly modded Hard_Track with more brake pressure and Viscous LSD
Do all the really good guys drift all the corners? I might have to stick up one of my replays so you guys can tell me specifically what needs changing.
Thanks
Peter

You shouldn't drift if you want to do a good lap. What you probably call "drifting" is that the guy turns at the limit with adjusting the throttle and he (or she ) needs to countersteer a bit but that is not drifting.
And feel free to download sets from www.teaminferno.hu in the setup section.

1:31:65 is possible (from my best splits) with a normal front-hybrid back set too which should be good for 30 laps. Normal-normal pb is 31:88.

Some serious discussions were made below.

Hi!

I'd like to dedicate something to the Fabio Fan Club :P

Cheers,

I got a set with hybrids in the back before the racing challenge race and it was faster. Then I got a set from sracer with four hybrids and it was even faster (for hotlapping). That's my little story about Bl1 XFG sets

Is there Hungarian translation?

P3,P4,... P7. Lol. It's interesting to see how fast LFS is developing. I hope P8 patch will include dynamic weather and day-night transitions :P

Quote from tpa :

Tristan, I don't get you. Do you have some kind of personal problem with JeffR? All of his points are very well made and it's obvious that he is only trying to help improve LFS.
All I read from you is rubbishing his suggestions, while you fail to make any!

I for my part appreciate his input on this matter because of his obvious technical knowledge. His new thread about the diffs just proves my point.

Thanks JeffR

I absolutely think the same. Tristan behaves like a marketing manager or spokesman of LFS

I agree with JeffR's 3 suggestions about tyre physics: the transition between grip and slide needs to be slower/smoother, the effect of dirty tyres is exaggerated, the same with heating up when sliding.

Well, about the segments with different temperatures: I didn't make any tests but every time I locked up tyres in races (for example because of a hard braking) the temperature difference between the cool and hot parts of the tyre seemed to be decreasing and after a while it completely disappeared.

IMO the next step should be a dynamic track surface so rubber left on track would result in increasing grip throughout the race. (As I suggested it in my topic here at Improvement Suggestions.)

Oh its very sad... I was looking forward to the big race among the fastest gti racers.

I am not a programmer, but what about putting some (a lot of...) checkpoints on the track with a number (which means grip) which would count the cars going over it and every time increases the grip slightly. Sorry if its a nonsense

Where did you hear about this thing that different types of rubbers are not "compatible" with each other? For example in F1 the grip is much better on tracks where there are races frequently (no matter what kind of car race is that).

Quote from Hummer :

strange ye, look at this

And this screenshot confirms that grip is increasing?( ...which is the main point of this thread.)

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

Already included I think, I know that graphical wise it's already there..

Strange i haven't realized it. But I'm sure grip in the 1st and the last lap of a race is the same on track which is not really realistic.

I think it would be a big step to the ultimate simulation to introduce this idea. What do i mean?

In the beginning of the race the track surface is dusty and grip is relatively low. Then as cars do more and more laps we can see the ideal racing line better and better because of the small pieces of tyre that remains on track. On this racing line the grip is better and better.

What do you think?

Why can't I sign up for the league? Ok that it has already started but it would be a good fun to participate in races even if no chance for final win.

edit: Ok I see there is only 1 server for 20 people. Anyway if people leave i would join the league.
