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...

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 
!
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
I am joining the crowd regarding the video : clearly impressive in itself
thank you Degats for the comparison screens

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 :
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 😇
Cool news for those who find easier buying LFS this way
Other tracks are 'done' (last report was mentioning there are still some holes in Kyoto and South City).
Waiting for Jamaica now
South City is Eric's baby, he wants it to be perfect
. According to the reports, he may have spent a year and a half on it (according to https://www.lfs.net/report-dec2019-so : since July 2019), maybe "not only" let's suppose, but frankly he has spent a lots of time on it. From the snapshots, it is clearly a great added-value for S1 licence ... If he spends third or half the time on Fernbay, it can do serious magic on it (assuming the quatity of off-roads things is a lot less than South City) ... Kepp faith 
, I am sure Eric is willing to spend some times on the two new unrevealed tracks for S3 after the graphical update is released, and get back to cars 
edit : @Eric, if you want to surprise us on Fernbay by adding a dirt/gravel/sand Oval with some outfield track of the same, do not hesitate

lol, I do not think the guys coding LFS are willing to keep their improvment on their HDD forever (and would take pleasure showing what they are doing through reports )
Otherwise what would be the point on keep doing evolutions to the sim ? They should have quit a long time ago or do another sim like so many other did/do/will do even if many areas in their product are still broken !

the graphical update seems quite advanced. Let's suppose Eric is on Fernbay (latest track to be heavily updated), and when it is ready, I do no think Scawen will want to postpone its release (that may occur with tire physics update). But to answer your question "when" : when it is ready ... obviously no date to be announced
indeed, can't wait to see the comments when the new tire physics will be released : "Scawen ruined the game, I cannot be fast anymore..."
ELDemon : I agree
mine is from 2011 (w204 phase 2) and has the "footbrake". So the more modern version have lost this featue ? (quite useless I think, anyway, I would never try to make a u-turn with it )
