agree, even if 4WD supercars are something very high in my wishes to see in AC

One thing that keeps me wondering :

Quote from blog (Lambo annoucement) :

...about fifty additional cars officially licensed will be included in Assetto Corsa during 2015...

This makes almost 1 car per week as an objective (since the begining of the year)... Were they very optimists ? Will we get many cars at once (except for the dream pack dlc, I do not know if it was the case before) ?
Just wondering ... ^^

I quote myself ...
30 weeks left 'til the end of the year, 10 cars released in the DLC in March ... Looks like time for some releases

One thing I saw by lurking around under google :
http://www.virtualr.net/assetto-corsa-version-1-0-content-list
In this list appears a "Content to be patched in" section, where we can see that Zandvoort would be planned, aswell as some other nice things. By insisting a little, I found this :
http://www.redbull.com/en/games/stories/1331718396849/italy-s-gran-turismo-meet-assetto-corsa
Telling that there will be a "Bonus Pack" free including 5 cars + Zandvoort in a couple of monthes (interview is one month old), and the Dream Pack 2 that will include Lambo + Audi + Surprise + Circuit of Catalunya

not so much revealed in the video ... but on the graphic part ... this looks like more than beautiful ! Last scenery is obviously wonderful

ah ... Only Leo is allowed to test it currently

There should be the simulator running LFS with Rockingham on the nearby the track, no ?

Quote from Eclipsed :

I'll never understand the use of such cars. ...

wich kind of cars is useful then ?
Those who wants small cars with no power can get it, you could ask : what is the point ? take a bike instead. Those who wants big cars and do not want to have the Renault Laguna break 1.9dci should have the choice for something more exotic.
Even if I do not like touring cars, owning one with the engine of a Gallardo (in the time ...) with turbo should be something funny (even if it is 4WD ... ). Better than getting a Cayenne with more than 500hp lol !

yes, bad man : show us some new screenshots of Rockingham in LFS

Use an older version of LFS (multiple folders of LFS is a good way)

Quote from sinbad :

brilliant video

Doing the setup for a car is a whole combination of all the parameters.
Let's say parallel steer will help you to have the car behaving as you desire. Having the car behaving as you want can make it feels more accurate ... driving can be very subjective as everyone is not necessarily willing to have the same behaviour for the car in all the possible situations. For sure the general setup inputs (ARB, camber, tire pressure, springs, dampers) will play a higher role in the capability of your setup to be quick around a track.
Being quick in LFS is a big matter of practice combined with understanding what you are doing ... usually after some times building setup in "blind" mode, it is a good idea to take the setup of a fast guy, lapping a lot with it, and then to begin to modify the "fast" setup slightly in aim to see the differences brought by those changes ... after a nice amount of hours you begin to understand what makes you fast and what is not ...
Take note too that understeer and oversteer can be a nightmare as it is the case in RL : a slight understeer you may not notice may lead the car to a crazy oversteering behaviour when back on the throttle ... correcting the oversteering behaviour will then make the thing even worse => in the end you never correct the issue and you loose your trust in the car/yourself ...
As you may have already heard : practice makes better. I would add, without understanding (reading LFS manual is a good start), practice can be very long before making you better

At 1.0 the front wheels stay parallel when you steer.
By lowering the value, the inside wheel will turn slightly more, giving a small toe-out value according to steering input => slightly less 'accurate', but can kill slightly understeer ...
As always, to be tested to find something that gives you a better feeling for the car (without speaking about performance issue, as it is not really a matter afterall).

Screamer 2

Bloody hell, that takes me back..

omg yes ! I have used my fingers on this one !!!!

wait and see for this game ... hope there will be a demo ...

afterall ... why not (remain compatible I mean ...)
But, this would assume there would be an interior update without an exterior one ^^ ... do you think Eric able to limit himself to only interior ?

I think as it affects the models, replays would go OOS.

Quote from HenkkaWRC :

...
OT: does anyone know when we are getting updated interiors for FX and FZ cars? I bet new interiors don't require the new tire physics...

new interior = incompatible patch.
For long Scawen did not want to make incompatible thing that would lead to clear hotlap chart for example.
Now, things may change ... who knows what Scawen and Eric are planning to do ... the wiser thing for them would be to focus on S3 contents in aim to be paid (even if money is not the only goal of their lives, it will help them to live ), before spending times on "free contents added" ...

To remain on subject, I am not at all for multiple versions of the same cars . XRG, XRT and XRR : it is enough to me. FXO and FXR = the same. 2 variants is good ... 3 why not ... more : no, looks like lack of imagination. Seeing what Eric did with Westhill, I think we can be sure he can build some beautiful fictionnal cars for our pleasure , no need to remain restricted to few models only.

I will always remember 0.4 version : I still see myself taking the GTi and saying : OMG, it looks like it handles like a real car ... what I had never felt in a videogame before !
OK, time has prooven it could be improoved a lot , but the damn real feeling LFS gave me in 2002 (I think) will remain in my mind forever !

ah ah, forget to launch the speculation phasis
when are coming the first screenshots/vids of coming contents of S3 ? ^^

same issue as with the VW : the devs talk about => everybody thinks it is a contract => for any reasons, devs make a step behind and change plans => then the mob is going mad
But for sure, now a LX8 would be amazing. A small constant downforce, a mighty engine and its small weight : our current GTR would suffer on some tracks

599xx ftw ?

Quote from Whiskey :

IIRC it was a leaked version Scawen sent to the beta testers. Nobody should know that this car has ever existed.

a quote showing we knew it was planned:

Hi everyone,

Here's a bit of news from us, informing you that we have had a small change of plans, trading the LX8 for the UF GTR. For the reason why and for more information on the progress of S2, you can read the June progress report.


Additionally we have uploaded several new screenshots of the updated track Kyoto Ring. You can find them in the screenshots section.

Quote from Eric :

...The classic case is Westhill which was challenging with the old Pre-S2 tyre code but just became a flat-out drive with the current physics. My fault, partly for not thinking ahead design wise and not having the experience. Anyway, I’ve addressed most of the design issues I’ve had with Westhill, so hopefully no-one will fall asleep at the wheel this time.

As a side note, I have no idea how the revised Westhill will drive with the old tyre physics that you guys are using. I’ve been testing with the new tyre physics for a few years now and I refuse to drive the old one, which has just doesn’t have that visceral tyre feel and response compared to the new tyre physics.


Eric

I undig just to give some post-test comments :
- Westhill is just excellent. What you did is awsome, and the time delay to provide this makes sense now when we see 'the' thing !
- even with our "old" tire physiscs, it remains a very nice feel to drive around those new and very interesting layouts
- hope you will have some deserved holidays before coninuing the excellent work shown with this Westhill crazy update. You clearly teased us to a level that makes us expecting to see more in a coming furture

Sir Eric

Victor, what are you planning to allow us to upload on LFS World ?

this is insane ! Westhill was not so nice before, and now it is just fabulous ! And not to mention the off road part : I got lost and did not even find the tunnel we saw in the video
The karting areas are a pretty brilliant idea ! mrt at its best incoming !!!
As said : worth the wait !
Eric you rock , and Scawen : the same
And with the nice websites we get now, Victor : you rock too !!!!!

ScaViEr on their best !!

Stunning !!!!
You did a great, great job guys !!!!

Quote from Scawen :

We plan to release the Westhill Test Patch today.
