It is possible indeed ... maybe the high pressure used make already the contact surface quite low Wink

Hello,
my 2c (I admit I did several tests to validate my points, but I am not an expert in Drag racing) :
* tires : putting the highest pressure on the front is good. I tend to have better result with the lowest pressure at the back, and not 1.7bar as you use. Using camber at 0° at the back is good, as it offers more contact for the driving wheels, but at the front it is not good to use 0° : you do not need grip there => prefer maximum negative camber available
* ride height : put the maximum ride height at the front => there is no penalty in the top end speed (I think...) and it will give more weight to the back (what you want on a RWD to start quickly). Having a high ride height at the back seems a bit better for grip than too low ... I tend to have good results with seeting it at the maximum
* rebound : use the lowest value for the front, not the maximum one => as for the ride height, it will help to transfer the weight to the back, giving more grip when starting
* damping : at the back, you may have some better results while not using the maximum value, it tends to limit a bit the traction, but anyway there is less to earn on this setting than the others I mention

For those who have some skills in drag racing, do not hesitate to test and provide your feedback on those points Wink , I find this interesting. That is bad we do not have a hotlap chart on this, but maybe having the physics at 1kHz is needed to have the ms taken into account in aim to differentiate the experts in gear change Big grin

for sure the ctrl-z function would be a nice feature, but it is not necessary easy to implement (without doing dirty things)

sweet memories !!! I am pretty confident the "promised/expected" release including new content will be that exciting, and in 2006 it was quite unexpected to get this mighty F1 car Smile : it was really a huge surprise !

That is just one lap each time, it does not show the numerous times where I put the car in a wall Big grin
Anyway, the handling is very nice in my opinion, the tires are not offering a correct grip (especially at low speed) and they are overheating way too fast, but that remains a very good experience in a driving simulator Thumbs up

For those who did not try it, you are missing something great Big grin !!!
After finding a way to stay on the road, it is really really nice : the accelerator make the car to turn at any speed, a real pleasure to have 2 ways to steer Thumbs up





Thank you Scawen Omg omg omg

When doing it right I was able to reach 264km/h before braking at BL1 (btw I have sweated blood to reach 1.18 Big grin ) ...
GTR seem a few km/h slower ...
Did not try Aston, looks like too dangerous (let's not speak about Westhill Big grin )
For a next release, an LX8 with 400hp sounds a perfect car to add in S3 ^^ Thumbs up

0.6T or 0.7 or 1.0 ...
I remember having read that S is not going to be used because of its "5" look-alike ...

Quote from Scawen :Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Those of you who do follow the forum know why it was worth spending a few of hours getting this little update together. Please you've had some fun with it. That's what LFS is all about, in my opinion. Having fun. Smile

Indeed it is fun !! a lot !
I let you imagine the fervor when you will release new contents for the coming updated version !!!

Quote from lucasazedo :something I think I could have in the next versions of lfs is this here that has in 0.5f2

...
Thumbs upRofl

At least for AI ...
For players ... it is a simulation in the end, so why not forcing the player to do it as it is quite simple and interesting to handle it properly Smile ...

NB : the LX8 is brilliant Big grin , I love the feeling of slight wheelspin over 130kmph Big grin Big grin

Quote from xspeedasx :I had an idea. Any thoughts?

it is going to end with "LFScoins" to exchange Big grin
To be more serious, this kind of architecture is clearly less vulnerable than a single server having to deal with all possible attacker insidiousness.

Good luck to the team finding a solution for this !!
