good point, seems the rain is coming ...

good one
So bad he did not use the VR + the seat while playing LFS

edit : he does it in the other vids, sorry

some early 90s cars still have carburetor : the Gti, UF1000 are likely, but why not the TBO aswell.
I own a polo from 1989 with a carburetor (and an impressive 1050cc), but no fire I admit .
For modern cars, my C63 is doing lots of noise in the back when braking hard, I would not be surprised that you could have some small fires in some circumstances, and the car is following the european rules to not pollute too much

excellent Beautiful cars there !!!

I like to see captures of those old tracks : looks like an old road without borders

when the engine is slowing down quickly you always have a part of not burned gas ... so it is quite common to see it on cars (especially race ones) with a hot exhaust. This does not mean it is not well done. This is just physics. Note that in LFS we have cars that may use a carburetor, who knows And there it was quite impossible to avoid this phenomenom on some models ^^
On topic, it is a nice effect, but I fear it can be time consumming for ... not so much

Business speaking : it will be more rewarding to help the artist to provide more contents than tuning something already quite correct (take this with care, it is not perfect ) that can take ages and will not be seen/felt by all the users (compare to new content).
People speaking : Eric is willing to work hard on the tracks and so it is wise to not stop him . Scawen's help is requested on this topic and so priority number one has changed ^^
edit : the guy above may explain better

good luck guys ! Hope it will be nice

By stating Eric did only 3 tracks in 10 years, you assume we saw all his work => this is not true. Aswell, the tracks you mention are something quite huge compared to a track dedicated to be "only" a road with a scenery (by only I do not want to be disrespectful). Note aswell that Eric is participating to the development of the game, not only modding something existing (again, I do not want to be disrespectful with modders, but this is a different job).
AND there has been a serious stop in the progress of the project during some times as explained by Scawen. According to his last statements, they were now very active with plenty of ideas to continue the job !

Quote from ACCAkut :

If you want the real opinion you have to look somewhere else, as all the old folks have moved on to other sims and places. You won't find saltyness or hate, rather nostalgia and a bit of longing for those simpler times...we've all grown old and emotional. Like here: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/live-for-speed-build-0-6r-deployed.131254/

But general consensus seems to be that while LFS is still alive in a way, it's hard to imagine that it still pulls in enough sales to solely support the three Devs, one of which has a family. And that there would be no shame in admitting that if it were the case. People everywhere do multiple jobs and things to support their main passion.

it was the birthday of the NEW Blackwood 3 days ago !!!

On topic, indeed Scawen told multiple times that the few incomes from LFS was allowing them to continue. I hope they will succeeded to propose the new tire physics and this will allow for much much better things. I think it is the damned brake to not implement more cars for the moment (as it will require most probably a new pass on everything already exisiting). For the new tracks, Eric did show he is a master ; maybe not the quickest team (he is alone ), but just seeing the 3 latest tracks he made, it is just brilliant !!!
Good luck guys !!!

When entering a corner (let's say without power), the two wheels will not need to rotate at the same speed : the outside wheel is having more distance to do than the inside one.
When having an open differential, it is exactly behaving as needed, so compare to an lsd you are having less understeer : the lsd will tend to make the wheels to rotate at a less different speed, making the turn-in less easy. But it will have the advantage to help a bit on the braking zone, and what you may call understeer may be translated in more stability (this why there is a coast parameter).
When on power, the car (FWD) should not by magic turn more/have less understeer. But in the current physics (someone will correct me if I am saying bs), I think there is a common issue with tyre grip that make at least for FWD to rotate a bit too much when accelerating with a high level of power for the lsd (this is why you will see the setups to go quick in FWD using very stiff front antiroll bar and a locked differential.
On a more logic configuration, you will reduce the values of LSD to reduce the understeer, adjust the antiroll bar to give more or less grip (stiffen the rear antiroll bar to give more grip to the front for example), you can play with the dampers, the toe, the camber, the springs, caster, etc ... The best is to read (I found this : https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Basic_Setup_Guide ) over internet to find out what are the purpose of all the settings available.

agree

Happy new year racers and developpers
I wish you all the best for 2018 !!!!

I have faith
I still hope for some teaser in a near future ^^

Yep, Merry Christmas guys !!!! I wish you all the best !!!
Win races, Drift like madness, Beat some hotlaps, Release the wonderful tracks you made, Release a perfect tire physics, etc ...
Choose what you prefer and match you the most

Laguna Seca is included in tomorrow free DLC pack
https://www.facebook.com/Assetto.Corsa/photos/pcb.2237832519576387/2237823666243939/?type=3&theater
so :
Laguna Seca
Alfa Romeo Giulia QV
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Lamborghini Huracan Performante
Maserati Quattroporte
Pagani Huayra BC
Maserati Alfieri Concept (RWD and not hybrid it seems)

Sorry Lucaf, thought you would have clicked on the hyperlinks in my post. Indeed very crap that they use only facebook ...

ACCAkut : that's not pretty to read ... . Hope they will not provide a crap Laguna Seca after all the times teasing us ^^

excellent

A bonus pack (3) will be available the 20th of December ... for FREE.
It will include 7 cars from Alfa, Maserati, Lamborghini and Pagani.
It seems the Giulia QV is one of them with the 33 Stradale for Alfa.

Nothing about Laguna Seca that should be brought for FREE aswell according to my reading on a german news ...

minimum is $13 ... 1 month ...
I can't ... LFS was the first game I bought without having a physical disc in my hand ... that was hard . Renting the licence for a videogame is too much for me, even now
Is there some youtube videos of these rallycross tracks anyway ?

Good find

Quote from Mikus1212 :

How many days until racers will get bored with nordschleife? 3-4?

Impossible, that is LFS ^^ . Whenever you get bored, come back later and enjoy it again

OP : thank you to propose such a thing
I fear you will have to wait for S3 "including user created contents allowed" until you implement this wonderful layout ... But if Scavier is interested into implementing this track in the normal licence (S3 or S4, do not care), I am in !! (did I mention so many times I will send them 1k€ if they do it ? )

eh eh, too much mysteries as always . I am pretty sure the tracks on which Eric has worked on would perfectly be ready to be shown through some nice screenshots
Let's hope an xmas thing ^^

pasibrzuch is right. Note that S1 is needed, but as you are S2 : no problem !

edit : to answer your second post, isn't this Westhill that is having the tunnel close to pitboxes ?

Buying S3 is an investment : you will get it for the rest of your life ^^
When you will be able to afford it, enjoy the new tracks and cars , you will not be disappointed !!!
