Some people already mentioned it but i'll say it again. What about paying like a 1 pound for a mod upload/review process (could be more idk). As in licensed mods wouldn't be approved but such slight modifications would be allowed. For example:
No way to play around with such mods online even though they can be fun. I do understand that there are modders working on new mods and so on. I've started myself doing one project but it will take me months to complete. It's a lot of work and i do have a day job as well.
With paid system, mod list wouldn't get cluttered by useless mods. And we have rating system, if rating is bad, remove mod after certain time. Everybody wins.
I paid few times already to increase maximum slots for skins uploads.

It does say REAR identical - YES. you can switch to NO
I mean, do you bake the skin template in the LFS modeler? Sort of like normal LFS cars? And then how would you know where the edges are so that you could skin it easier? Normally i use wire frame layer if using gimp but these modded cars sure won't have wire frame layers.
I just wanna know how other people can make skins for the mod.
How would you make a skin for a modded vehicle? i assume you can use photoshop or gimp if mod creator provided a skin template. Now if i'd use blender or any other 3D program that is much easier to make skins on, i would need OBJ file for that mod. I assume LFS modeler uses OBJ files then converts to VOB once exported as a mod?
So does that mean you would have to ask for someone to provide obj file so that you could make a skin for it? Or is it too much copyright stuff?
Would be great to have some sort of primitive car painter.

Great job with updated models! So much easier to use now. Think there is still some bug on XRR with the windshield. The clipping white material not sure how to get rid of that.
Great tutorial on Procedural skins using Blender btw. Amazing stuff, made this skin with it and i love how it fits any car i apply it to. Endless possibilities.

I suppose racers don't use command /siren? Why was it added if not for cruisers?
It pretty much is. Except on custom layout and you are not driving same lap and it's changing, plus other cars that you have to dodge so i'd say it's even harder than racing.
I usually wouldn't care about additional light bars, or just some small lights on front, inside the car etc. But since new graphics patch has night mode and headlights system reworked i was wondering how that is going to look like on cruise servers. Because if you going to flash your headlights you won't be able to see 50% of the time where the hell you are going. So that is why it would be nice to have something else that flashes.
Could be done by a simple config change just like on GTR "Alternative" mode nothing major.
For me it's about the same, maybe slightly less stutters but fps still drops when more cars on screen.

Ok i found that setting, thanks. However it's better and worse at the same time. The FPS seem to be higher yet still drops to about 60 (when using 80Hz) when there are more cars on screen. Your CPU is better than mine so maybe you are getting better results.
Another big problem that setting causes is that when there is alot of cars on screen (driving alone is fine no problem), if i look up or down, left or right even just slightly, the whole view stutters even when driving on a straight. Kinda disorientating. Feels like i need to sit still with my neck fixated in one location or something. Also it's dropping frames like crazy by looking at fpsVR.
What steamVR version are you using? Because in the latest steamVR 1.10.32 (non-beta) i don't see reprojection settings only motion smoothing that i turned off. There is some async_mode_toggle command in debug but that just makes it worse.
The new DLL doesn't seem to change anything. I have no idea why LFS doesn't like my CPU. Looking at that fpsVR, CPU has huge loads on it while GPU is chill doing nothing. 
It seems to be worse. It mostly stays 40fps then goes up when there are less cars. I did a quick test around southcity with 20 cars using fpsVR to check fps, and other info. Here are the logs. Both done using 100% on both steamVR and LFS.

Index have 1440×1600 resolution per eye but in steamVR the closest i can set it to is 50%. Default value was 100% that is already supersampling because the lens distorts the image a bit so it has to account for it. But other games works fine with 100% as default.
I had 100% set on LFS and 50% steamVR it looks very pixely and doesn't eliminate the lag/stutter problem. Like i can't tell difference between 50% and 100% SteamVR setting in LFS. If there's any it's really tiny. Even 225% on LFS and 100% steamVR isn't as bad compared to previous settings, except that it looks much better/sharper.
This VRlog when using 50% on steamVR:

It runs great on my 144hz freesync monitor though.
I've tried assetto corsa running 80Hz mode and it runs so smooth even with many cars. While in LFS even when fps counter is showing 80fps it doesn't even feel like 80fps and then gets worse when it drops and stutters.

I tried that and even 50% supersampling (on LFS) and it doesn't change much. Getting huge frame drops near other cars especially. dynamic reflections off and x4 and no difference. Dropping from 80fps to 65-45 causing huge stuttering. If only driving on 80fps wasn't bad enough. And my PC is capable of running VR games.
Also the "monitor view" setting if none selected then it causes lagging and frames drop aswell. so that's that.
Using valve index it seems that only 80Hz option is stable and kinda keeps 80fps on LFS. 90Hz seems to drop to 45fps, 120hz to 60fps and 144hz to 72. Not sure why this half the frame things happen.
Also i'm not sure whether i've used 144hz monitor too much and now 80hz VR looks laggy or it's just not optimized as good. I do understand that physics run at 100fps but the game seems smoother on higher frames even if there is some sort of frames ghosting going on or not.
Super Sampling doesn't seem to change much aswell in my case so i just set it to 225%

== SIMOX's Layouts Workshop ==
Here you will be able to find all my finished layouts and see what's coming up.
You can download files through at the bottom of the post or through "download" links that link to same file on lfs forum.
All my layouts support 40 cars.
==================================================================================================
My first attempt at doing some crazy fun layout with asphalt blocks. Tried doing some more interesting and challenging loop de loops and i think it worked. Optimised for XRT but pretty sure would work with any other non slow car. Supports 40 people as well.
1800 Objects used.
Also added XRT set for this particular track. It may not be perfect but it works.
Enjoy

Have you ever wanted to drive BF1 upsidedown? Well now you can. The track is short, only over a minute long but exciting.
2 ways to stick yourself to the platform. Gentle and slow or fast and short.
I have added a setup that you will need to take the first corner without slipping out.
Added another softer setup so it's less bumpy.
Also BF1 can't have more than 10% of fuel or you won't make the first corner.
Enjoy

Inspired by famous counter-strike de_rats maps decided to create something similar in LFS.
The scale might be smaller as using the maximum 60 meters to make 2,5 meters high room. So cars appear as 1:24 scale models.
All 2100 objects used so there aren't any arrows pointing where to go though, but i tried to make it as complete as possible.
You can use any car but it's balanced around slow cars as there aren't many fast straights and it's quite bumpy.
Enjoy

A demolition derby style arena made for few fun events. Many ways to push your opponents off the arena or in to the holes.
Also spawn/pitlane funzone under the arena for those unlucky ones.

A classic derby figure 8 track. Used all the objects to make it look like a track inside a stadium.
Respawning puts you into one of the inner circles so if you are out of the race you are out of the race.

Scawen, could ultrawide (21:9) resolution be fixed for certain cameras? Inside and outside is fine but top down, cinematic and shift+U free cameras are all in 16:9
Really liking the new drift angles. Would it be possible for GTR cars to have an increased steering lock along with a choice of Road Super tires instead of slicks? You know, for those extreme drifters.
Since you asked about GTR cars previously i thought i might refresh the idea once again since we have an incompatible patch.

Eric is making the tracks not the Scawen though. And i'm pretty sure he is making them the way he wants. It has been said that 2 tracks are on the way already but it does take time to design, model and test it fully.
So i highly doubt that he would take ideas from here till those are done atleast.
Don't want to disappoint you just make sure you are not wasting your time with this project.
