wow

I am still quite ill, but it will not prevent me to make some laps !!!
Beautiful vid

0.6G : Saturday
0.6F : Thursday
Z28 : Wednesday

Sometimes they do not want to release them on Friday ... but let's hope next one is for tomorrow

Yes, Friday is a good day to launch a test patch !!

This is to be done when it is out, in aim to make a good promotion

I still hope for tomorrow too

ok, I was considering those parts as a no-car-land in AC ... glad to know it is not just me

Problem being that doesn't work unless pre-booked. And its been there since 1.1.1 that's 3 patches ago! Shouldn't ignore major bugs just to add features.

The kerbs issue has been there at least for a year. Kunos...

what is the kerb issue ?
I always find mad the ice feeling when you put a wheel on the green parts over kerbs ... but as I have never driven on a part like this in real ... I do not conclude


A part from this, I have a question for the experts : I find strange the difference in performance between cars of the GT3 'class' : yesterday I had a quick look to the mclaren and the mercs, and I find them more performant in corner than the nissan ... looks like tons of grip on the back. So they have 100hp less (are they really in the same class ? ), but they feel like having bigger rear tires, more grip on the front (iirc you can tune very slightly the front downforce, while on the nissan it is not the case ... it may be the answer). For example, I have used vallelunga club, and in the slowest corner, without TC, the nissan was very very difficult to avoid the spin, while the mclaren and the mercs : pedal to the metal without sweat (and again : yes there is 100hp less, but at 50-60km/h we are not at 8000rpm with full power) ...
So : is it realistic ? (nissan = beast, mercs and mclaren = baby beast, easier to drive in the end).

I had a quick look to the 458 gt2 ... but without ABS, unfortunately ... I will need more practice to finish a lap.

We can expect a test patch ... but do not be disappointed if it is not the case

yes, the installer will be fine.

I am still wondering if we will get the "beta" testing intially planned, or a "public" release directly ^^

do not hesitate to warn us for an update by the end of this week.


I have to admit that I was of those who were F5ing the site yesterday night

Thanks for those 'simple' settings kars19 , I appreciate (and use them :P ). I did put some speed sensitivity (0.03) otherwise it was a bit too nervous when trying to stay in straight line

I am having lots of fun with the Nissan gtr gt3 around the Nords . Quite good handling and very forgivable ... maybe not very, but forgivable .

- M235i is probably the easiest racing car to drive, in the history of ever. It's a car that immediately made me think "I could easily do 24h in this."
...

oh yes, this is so true ! I am finally able to finish a lap around the green hell without spinning or ending into a wall !
Looks like arcade mode turned on , but at least for a noob like myself (let's be honest, I have not played AC so much and I got my G27 for only few days ... discovering ffb, etc ...), I will find it pleasant.
I would have prefer having fun in the alfa and its 4wd, but I am truely disconnected from the car compared to LFS ... The car is out of my control too quickly ^^ ... and we are talking about a 4wd car with slick tires !!
... and I am not speaking of when at 30km/h I am able to loose the car control too ... Let's suppose I am lacking of reflex.

BTW, the Nordschleife is quite (very in fact) beautiful (AC is top on this part) ! Clearly something to be done by Eric for LFS

downloading ... over 2 hours left ...

Quote from sil3ntwar :

So everyone talks about the VW but what about Rockingham? We all know why the car is delayed but what about the track?

Sorry for asking in this thread but it is a serious question and am not looking to start another flame war.

Rockingham is part of S3 content.
Scawen told that S3 cannot be delivered with only one track (no more promises on upcoming content, you will agree), so before we see Rockingham, the Team has to 'finish' or 'create' a bit more contents.
There still can be a debate around how far is 'finished' Rockingham ... but there only few people may have the knowledge

Quote from Scawen :

...I know the Scirocco is held up as the holy grail of cars by many people in the LFS community, but it's really just another front wheel drive car, although a nice sporty one....

It will bring ESP to LFS aswell, and in this aspect it is something that will bring much more good things than only a new FWD : some very powerful cars may be included in LFS ... and would be driveable . I have enjoyed sometimes to drive 599xx in AC, and I have to admit that I find it fun with and without TC help (do not know if it acts like an esp in the game or not ... but in the end, you have the choice to let electronic helping the driver like it is the case in real life). Do not hesitate to build then a clone of it for LFS

By the way, I bought a G27 ... I suppose I will need some help soon, because discovering FFB is not something easy after 14 years with my sidewinder precision racing wheel . Staying on the road is kinda difficult (damn : the wheel is countersteering itself ... weird) ! Hope things are going fine in the plan for releasing Westhill : I AM NOW READY

ah ... bad cars ... Thought it was something more elaborated/rustic (depends of the pov), even if obviously the goal of Lamborghini is not to make a subaru impreza with more hp

Yep, gtr has no center diff. It gets 2% front torque split, and then the 'computer' is changing the amount of power on the wheels according to spin detection or something similar. Looks like older WRC car with lots of electronics managing very wisely the torque split ... everything at a rate of ms ...
More, there is no lsd at the front if I am correct, it is the famous electrical differential : electronic is applying brake on the spinning wheel. Same for awd Lambo, but there the cars have a 'mechanical' central differential.

already suppressed

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

I thought the road going GTR was supposed to be included not just the GT car?

Same with the Vette...

no, this will be given for "free" in the main game... will ... in a certain amount of time not yet defined ...
I have to admit that these are the main cars I am looking for tbh ... added with the awd system for the lambo

more pics

beautiful

Quote from ACCAkut :

I bought it ... I think. How does this DLC stuff work in Steam?

If the dlc is linked to your account, then as soon as the steam servers will got it, your steam application will download it, as it was a classic patch.


Agree, 10€ is perfect

Dream Pack 1

Tomorrow we will know the price, the release date, the preorder, etc ... about the famous DLC (facebook)
There is a nice snapshot of the mercs too

LOL . Scawen's posts analysis is always something special

By the way, a good announcement with a nice video showing footage on the track will automatically bring new people to LFS.
