Me too please

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Clutch is great now with X36 (hadn't tested all the previous versions), in XFG it "grabs" a lot quicker now..
Discussing with my teammates i gotta say that they are right with one thing, and it's that XFR and UFR should really have that Ignition cut it's quite an cheap modification to the car and i think all the cars that resemble a "race" car should have that, it's 2008 and all, although i hate this new technology gimmiks bullshit, i gotta say that they are right that newer race cars almost all have an ignition cut, so if we strive for realism we should (unfortunately) have that driver assist in cars that have it in real life..

Thing is, a similar car to the small FWD GTR car's IRL have h-shifting gearboxes. The small GTR's in LFS all have h-shifting gearboxes. Ignition cut systems are only applicable to sequential gearboxes.

Hmmm, count me in for now.

I wouldn't mind PFi myself, I was racing there just a few weeks ago.

Quote from Bladerunner :

It is always worth waiting for a job to be done properly, rather than rush it out unfinished to meet a deadline..
After all, This IS LFS we are talking about, not bl**dy Test Drive Unfinished!

As for whining, go have a quick race against some AI's in an XFG at BL2..10 laps should be enough to change your mind about people 'whining'

Lift off the accelerator when you are in the air.

Sorry I couldn't make it. Had lots of important work to do.

Sorry I couldn't make it today guys, been very busy.

IMO:

GTR's
- The FZR should remain the same as it currently is.
- The XRR and FXR should both have their engines "rebored" as they are racing versions of the road counterparts, and to have a slight increase in capacity through a rebore seems realistic to me (2.3 Litres or so?). This would bring the HP in both cars up a little, to be competitive with the FZR.
- The FZR should still be the fastest GTR over a single hotlap, as it doesn't look after fuel and tyres as well as the XRR.
- I hate the idea of ballast again online.

TBO's
- The RB4 should regain the 18 Kg's it lost after X30.
- The FXO should have more weight, as I should imagine it seems a comfortable family car with air conditioning and other heavy options.
- XRT should remain the same. It's the most difficult to drive, so should have a slight edge.

Signed.

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Agreed! I would like to see all the but most minor repairs take a dreadfully long time. In the real world you can't just swap control arms, shocks, and springs in 30 seconds. I think this is one of the few areas that nkPro is better than LFS.

"Pit stop damage repair takes twice as long"

I reckon high 1:05, or very low 1:06

Quote from Renku :

Patch X10 will be used

I thought it would be great to try out the new patch with the old LX's...

Sorry for the bump..

Just remembered this. Just wanted to see if I had improved over a year... 1:23.84 after 30 mins or so. Still not as good as Hannu, but I can't be bothered to spend the rest of the evening to trying to go faster.

P.S. If anyone wants a go, see the rules and compulsary setup in the first post of this thread.

I initially forgot about the ballast, then remembered luckily before I had done a lap. Shortly afterwards I forgot I was in a boat and wrecked the suspension.

At the race start, there was a collision just after T1 which gave me some damage, and after that it was a downward spiral.

Anyway, congrats to Hannu.

It's like Dan said, not overdriving, not entering the corners too fast etc etc. Keep up the momentum.

Awesome sound.

Whats the big deal over a damn line!! I'm sure it will be just an optional thing, which you could turn on / off.

I think it would be great for beginners, and less people would be turned away from the game, as they would know where to brake etc.

Obviously the line would be of no benefit to an experienced user.

Quote from mrodgers :

Yes, thus with auto clutch, we will now just not flatshift. With the computer automatically working the clutch, there is no human error in slipping the clutch accidentally, so without flatshifting, I wonder where overheating with the autoclutch will fall.

As I said, advantage still goes to auto clutchers (aka, Me )

I certainly hope to sway advantage towards the clutch users, or to fair it up anyways, the auto clutch isn't changed to be so ridiculously slow to be unrealistic like in so many other titles. Racer's auto clutch comes to mind, ridiculously and unrealistically slow. Just needing to lift on the throttle to shift doesn't sound to me to make it more even for the clutch users.

Again, I'm talking tintops and not the open wheelers. Road cars and GTRs are what I care about. I certainly hope as well that, for in the future and the possiblility of me getting a G25 (unlikely), the GTRs are not force to be sequential only. I care less about 900 degrees and better steering, clutch and h-shifter is what I want, badly.

What if when the clutch is re-engaged after a flatshift, the speed difference between the engine and drivetrain causes the clutch to slip?

Quote from axus :

Sadly there was a show racing line translation string that someone mentioned somewhere in the thread.

What's wrong with a racing line (if there will be one)?

I let a few people in my corridor at Uni try LFS out. The problem they had was knowing where to go and when to brake. Otherwise they would keep crashing.

I think an "ideal" line would be good for beginners, and get more people into the game. I say "ideal", as it only looks like the line the AI take.

I wonder what Paul's average post length is?

But yeah, that pretty much sums it all up for me too.

What a tease!!!!

Shifting before the ideal shift point. For example shifting at 4000 rpm instead of 7000 rpm. Obviously the car transfers less power to the road, but you conserve fuel due to not reaching higher rpm's.

Awesome stuff Vain! Thanks. I feel sorry for the poor guy in the old BMW, everyone powering past on the straights. He seems to be very fast in the corners though. Seems to me like he needs to shift gears more often.

Great ad but surprising for a such high budjet commercial that the sound is actually pretty crap, especially during that 312 scene. I bet it could have better sound if it was from the actual situation and not edited afterwards.

Yes, quite a lot of the sounds have distortion too..
