Appointment taken in the next few weeks 😁, nothing more

Quote from Scawen :Thanks, this is not forgotten.

I hope to have more information in the next few weeks.

Oh! Thumbs up

@racerAntti : very valid point 👍🏻
Hope Eric is almost ready with SO and KY final touches 🤘🏻

Quote from sermilan :What's the use now when it's gone out of production?

They can give us a 458 or a Gallardo, I do not care at all they are out of production, do you?😊

New physics mean we have a high chance of seeing the most awaited car in simracing history delivered finally

Shocking... Very sad news indeed...my thoughts for his family.
Lost a good colleague from work few days ago because of a dirty cancer aswell...shitty period...

Quote from fatalunfair :How hard would it be to implement fixed setup racing for the upcoming update?

I would have supposed that with VW scirocco having very few setup options, it would come with this most awaited update ever 🤘🏻

S1 licence with only South City 2.0 will worth the price already Big grin !
London bourough FTW !
Eric : hope the highway will be open on Blackwood, you cannot make such a huge SO environment without doing the visible roads of Blackwood Big grin
I am joining the crowd regarding the video : clearly impressive in itself Thumbs up LFS

thank you Degats for the comparison screens Thumbs up

Impressive 😁, did not expect Eric to continue SO that long 👍🏻. New configurations on the way 😇

There was aswell some HL massively cleaned because of shortcuts (like on KY Long) thanks to a new HLVC check

If you take a modern civic Type R it is given for 12.56m ... slightly less than the FXO ...
With my "computation" (is it correct ?) I would find it having a steering angle of 25,45° (outside wheel).
I do not know the wheelbase of the FXO, but with HX7 measures, this would correspond to Wb = (Turning circle / 2) * sin(angle). In our case FXO is having 30°, so sin(30°) = 0.5 => Wb = (Turning circle / 4)
So, 3.22m ... seems too huge ...
If I take the computation proposed by detail in :
Quote from detail :...
In this Stackoverflow thread, a simple formula is proposed:

steering angle = atan(wheelbase / (turning circle radius - car width)) (I suppose it's track width.)
...

Quote :For the outer wheel don't subtract the width.

This means : steering angle of outer wheel = atan(wheelbase / (turning circle radius)
=> this results in lower values for my previous computations with sinus (but the measure for the 308 seems more in line with what I have seen...), and then the wheelbase of the FXO would be even greater ???
Houston we have a problem ...

detail : is measuring the inner wheel giving the same result as the outside one ? If I understand correctly, with the ackerman effect, the inside wheel is having a greater angle than the one I would suppose to be to consider when speaking about the "steering angle".
I did a test with the Peugeot 308 (2.0 hdi) of my wife and was measuring ~25° (not very accurate I have to admit).
I did some computations for the cars I have under my hands with a basic formula on the Radius and the wheelbase : arcsin( R / wheelbase ) to give approximatively the outside wheel angle :

I found the turning circle over internet, not sure they are right, but driving speaking : indeed the 308 has the poorer turning circle compare to my two other cars
There is a slightly greater value for the rwd car as expected (I would have suppose even more ...), but the result for the 308 seems to correspond to what I am actually measuring.

I hope Scawen is 100% on physics while Eric is on Fern Bay 😁...and that everything remains under control 😇

Of course, but a board effect may always be considered especially when his wheel seems to work fine, and has worked previously with lfs.

Can you check with an older LFS version ? I remember that Scawen has implemented an evolution in the ffb released with the current one if I am not mistaken, and if you have not played since 3 years, it may be something not correctly handled (as your ffb is not working only in lfs)

As I understand, more related to physics thread working at a fixed 100Hz. If things are going well, Scawen intends to separate physics and graphics in two different threads, allowing a better handling of VR and the 90Hz used.

Do at your pace, and allow Rallycross/gtr combos while waiting for some times to find a way to build an analyser 😇

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :well we all make mistakes. and i made one here.
so be it. no need to jump me for that reason. but as Flotch said above. other tracks might be in making too.

Other tracks are 'done' (last report was mentioning there are still some holes in Kyoto and South City).
Waiting for Jamaica now LFS
