GP Bikes is already enough hard
But for sure, seeing a bike well done in LFS would be terrific
Doing battle with cars would be just incredible
But let's not disturb Scawen's mind too much with things not on "a high priority yet" . The damned tire physics needs all the possible care

Quote from 5tag :

May I ask how you noticed that? At that point you had already recreated the Formula BMW. Did these flaws show up with that car as well or was the amount of data for the Scirocco just much bigger? Or does it have to do with ESP/ESC?

Put open diff on a FWD car (especially) in LFS, the car is not at all behaving correctly. So you have to do crazy thing in the setup to calm down the beast. I tried a lot to make the GTi to handle correct with open diff for testing purpose, and was not able to ... Who has never driven a FWD with open diff IRL ? I do not think they are handling that mad !

Quote from Racer Y :

...You Think it'll be bikes? LOL I had a demo of some Moto GP sim that I don't think got off the ground. You think Tire physics holds up things? ROFL wait til Scawen decides to get obsessed with shifting body weight....

Yeah , he would have to associate with Piboso to speed up the thing ^^
Seriously, it could be possible to have something surprising (Scawen is a big fan of 2-wheels vehicles )

Quote from Sh1mbo :

... the beetle 2012 is like a baby porsche
...

it is a fact that currently Porsche is 'famous' for the Cayenne, the Macan and the Panamera ... but seeing the 2012 Beetle (FWD with front engine) as a baby Porsche is total heresy (while older model were indeed baby Porsche).

by the way, those mysterious new type of vehicles may be this kind of toys :

New type of vehicles, Eric working on a new track ... you WILL have to share some snapshots

Quote from TFalke55 :

To be honest, having proper RX cars would be nicer to have then this compromise.

Clearly !

Scawen is mentionning that the updates of tire physics will allow new type of vehicles => I strongly hope these are part of them !!
Some proper RX cars, a buggy and a truck are a must in a serious racing simulator !!

Quote from Scawen :

...I'm also interested to hear from anyone if the automatic controller setup seems to work OK....

Works like a charm for me (G27)

I would be against too. NB : There is a kind of hack allowing all tires for cars if I remember correct.
Anyway, Scawen has stated multiple times recently that when he will (kind of) finished the tires physics, new type of vehicles will be proposed ... let's wait for correct cars with the correct tire compounds to fit the correct tracks . I will be better than doing F1 on rallycross tracks

was it a "byte" more ?
professional deformation as we say in France

Hope VR guys are enjoying Scawen's efforts !

NB : as always, do not fear to share some screenshots of Eric's work

Quote from e2mustang :

ye for me with every update it seems like its just getting crap. i loved it in the beginning,now when i tried stingray and mustang on black cat or w/e track its unreal. if i can do that in real life i will kiss my own arse.

agree. Feels like a pro within few minutes
Also, my 458 seems to have open diff now : 3rd gear burn the inside wheel like a 73 amg. Of course with TC on, it is better, but then the car is clearly not anymore pleasant to drive !
When you take the C7, it looks like it has more traction
BTW : Black cat track is a nice addition. Would have loved some narrower part with lots of turns ... but it is very entertaining to reach crazy speed with crazy supercars

A small request : would it be possible to have a pair of scroll lists inside a combo menu in aim to switch the car or the track easier than to come back to overview menu and looking for the wished combo ?
ex : from https://www.lfs.net/files/setups/UF1/BL00 , I would like to go to BL1R for example, simply by selecting it through a scroll list on the page

extract from the latest part :
- the 1.5 build optimizes the work started with the previous version and brings all the cars to the latest tyre model and tyre features
- To help you with choosing the correct compound and keeping under control the tyres temperature, we are working on a new “Tyres” app that has been added to the list of system apps included with Assetto Corsa.
- Pitstop functionalities open Assetto Corsa to endurance racing
- Japanese Pack, available on Steam by May 18th ... will feature the new Mazda MX-5 road/cup car, the RX-7, the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo, the Nissan GT-R 34, the Toyota Supra in three versions, and the Toyota AE-86 in two versions.
- The console version of Assetto Corsa will hit the shelves on June 3, and a new package including the Ferrari 488 GTB, FXX K, Praga R1 and Audi A1 S1 will also be available on Steam
- A1 Ring circuit : release the new laser-scanned circuit in time for the Formula 1 race weekend (July 3)
- On the physics side, we have scheduled a task related to brakes
- The new system will allow a more accurate simulation of AWD cars with unequal torque distribution.

Quote from Scawen :

... Also it will allow new types of vehicle and so on.

do you have examples ?

anyway, glad to see VR is going well, and the development brought to LFS in this way seems to be a good investment overall

some sexy screenshots

Quote from pik_d :

Did you use the exact same set for multiple configurations?

yes

Just found this thread : wow Victor, nice idea and project
I will give a look when at home

edit : did a global rockingham hotlaps setup upload, and I see that for FXR RO7, RO10 and RO11 are not appearing on the "Car Setup" Menu under FXR.

Love the catheram vids !!! If I could not care of having room space for the children and wife ...

Anyway, there is a nice news for end of the month :
https://www.facebook.com/Assetto.Corsa/posts/1363230967036551

C7, Mustang, a small abarth and a bloody nice looking “Black Cat County” Track are coming ... for free.

very nice addition

Quote from gigapouch :

...And why did you post a picture of an Opel Astra??

Because it is clearly based on this kind of design ! Astra, Vectra ... you can find a bit of Civic for the front too

For the FXR, you have this car that has probably inspired highly its design too :

For the engine, flat4 turbocharged looks like taken to subaru ...

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

But after all LFS is a girl, unlike the new girl (AC) that turns out to be she-male (Simcade)...

lol

Quote from Scawen :

... On the content side, new tracks are the best thing.

Some crazy cars too would be highly appreciated ^^ . But I see your point and totally agree.
This is clearly nice to see the recent updates, and to know things, even little, about the roadmap

The request to include the Nordschleife in LFS as been discussed a lot. And knowing the end result and quality LFS devs have shown to us since the begining, I have always stated that if they want to include the famous track inside I would pay them for doing such accomplishment !

I hope too that the 2 other tracks Eric is building are containing at least a pure gravel track
An ice track (Trophée Andros) would be a great addition too.
Add to this rain and snow (why not ? ), and then I am sure it can be open to modding after LFS team has added like 10 more cars for S3.
... this sounds like lots of work, but no-one knows how advanced the game is already in the hands of the Team ^^
I am not too convinced the Team should make the police on modded content : this is work to be done, and everybody will agree that it has not to be done for free. Would you like to pay for an approved stamp on a converted content maintained or not by the author/converter ? I am not sure I would.
On the other hand, I am not against DLC, like Sx stages are currently. So if the Team is willing to create an S4 stage in the future, like it was initially planned, count me in.
NB : I already stated that I am ready to pay 1k€ for a laser-scanned Nordschleife in LFS

One word : brilliant !
GJ guys !

pretty nice !!!!
I thought I would have to face the sun during the laps . Rockingham is seriously beautiful ! GJ guys !

We are ready. No pressure, but where is the link ?
I am curious about this sunset weather
