And some people say that LFS has bad engine sounds.... ehem

It would be cool if the "surprise" would be a real start. So people can make a jump start and get penalty for it (for example drive-through penalty).

I like Fox and Fo8 very much and with the fixes I mentioned above they will be a dream to race with

I am bored at home (hehe just kidding) so I tell you what I expect from the new patch:

- Fixed Highnose bug
- Increased grip at low speeds
- Decreased effect of slipstream (including the loss of grip behind a car) - especially to cars with wings
- Decreased effect of dirt on tyres

Everything else is a surprise for me

15 - Implementation of Chinese characters.

16 - Surprise will be that there will be no surprise at all.

either way its lame if you ask me.

I don't ask you.

Quote from deggis :

You mean "macro clutch"? A separate program that basicly takes the control of the clutch with using a button. I've heard some famous and fast drivers drivers use it, I'd say that's cheating. What a crappy drivers if they need to cheat to be fast. Very comparable to some über hax0r configs that are usual in FPS multiplayer games.

I have never used "macro clutch", even "button clutch" only for demo cars at BL tracks; otherwise I use "auto clutch".

Its OK here (GF 6600GT), but somehow I prefer it to be off... All I can see it blurs far objects and makes colors a bit "colder" i think. (?)

Quote from arrow20 :

As the Team manager of Fusion racing (parise's team) we do not
accept cheating of anykind therefore he is no longer in the team
sorry for any inconvenience

Hmm what serious cheat did he do that he was moved from the team? I don't know if it is just this hotlap or there were other things as well but this decision seems quite hard. But I respect the decision of the team so I dont interfere

It was my question in the other topic too but it seems that in the faster lap the driver used an expoit or cheat in the track and thats why he deleted that.

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.

Hi!

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

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.)
