Hi! I'm not really new to LFS but i have spent most off the time with Tweak, cruising and drifting and i have never entered a league just a few pickup races from time to time. i really want to get more serious racing and i think this cup would be a perfect entry...
I hope the events will be on sundays because i have to work in the evening on mondays ...

Greetings from Austria

Sign me in! This has to be a lot of fun!

Quote from George Kuyumji :

I was surprised to see that you couldnt use a H Shifter on single Seater cars in the Test Patch. Because I have driven Formula Ford type cars and they all required clutching and shifting with an H kind shifter.

Hello! Just wanted to metion that i was also driving formula ford cars. Which look like our formula xr except that thay dont have any wings. And they had a 4 speed h shifter which needed normal clutching between up and downshifts.

After that i drove formula bmw which are nearly the same then the formula xr. There we had a sequential gearbox which needed clutching only at downshifts. at upshifts we only needed to lift off very short. probably you could upshift without lifting but werent allowed to because its not very healthy for the gearboxes .

I also tested an old vw polo cup car (btw which is real crap ) which has had an ordinary 6 speed gearbox and newer ones have sequential boxes.

I dont think that that the bf1 needs a h-shifter gearbox and also the fo8 doesnt need one simply because no one in the real world would drive them with h-shifter (in f1 and f3).

but for other race cars like the formula xr and the gtrs i would love it to have the choice (in the setup) between 2 (or more?) gearboxes.

Just my opinion!

Quote from Dumpy :

I believe the reason you can't do that is that those sounds are generated in real time by LFS' sound engine, not sampled. There aren't any .raws or wavs that can be opened and edited. We would need a separate volume control within LFS for the skid sounds.

As far as i know the skid and crash sounds are are saved in /data/snd as *.raw and are not generated in realtime. I just dont have a clue how to edit them. Maybe i'm totally wrong.

edit: in the snd folder are raws which are named: SkidRoadHeavyMajor.raw,SkidRoadHeayMinor.raw,...
i think these are the sounds which should be edited.

Quote from tiagolapa :

LFS Car engine volume option seams to act like master volume when i turn it down, skids and crash sounds go down too
Anyone else with the same problem??

Hi!

I just thought about this problem and i think if someone would double the volume of the skid and crash sounds then we would be able to turn the engine volume down to a minimum and still hear the skidding and crashing.

Don't know if this is possible and i dont have a idea about sound editing. But maybe someone could give it a try.

Btw, Great work Yamakawa. This is just awesome stuff!!

Greetings EveningStar

I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for this great mod!

And one question: Do you plan to implant the crowd sounds also for the drag strip? That would be awesome! Would kick ass when they start screaming louder if you make a donut or burnout after the race. Dont know if thats possible.

Hi Bob!
Just wanted to ask you kindly: when do you expect the updated version of the setup pack (for patch u).
