If you like the FO8, the VERL runs at NA-friendly times on Sundays, although unfortunately the season just ended. I don't know when the next season starts.

There is a VERL season-end event coming up, though:

The game is not multithreaded, so it's not going to use more than one core. The inner workings of the game predate the ubiquity of multicore CPU's.
Does the stutter go away without the texture pack?
If you're running Win7, open Resource Monitor (not sure if it's called the same thing in other versions) and keep an eye on the CPU and Disk tabs to see if there's a particular process doing heavy CPU or I/O access.

There was a similar request regarding setups. The short answer is, the devs are not interested in a security arms race with people who seek the data.
I think you may be able to share your team skin with only your team (using a filesharing service, not via LFSWorld) and have it show up for each other but not other players? I think that's how it used to work ages ago, anyway.
Otherwise, if you want people outside your team to see your team skins, you need to accept that this situation is a possibility. The best you can do is ask that they not use it.

That's a very good point. I completely forgot about the physics loop time. I think that alone proves the torque is a constant value.

That's my guess also, but it's interesting to think about.
Engine torque output: constant or pulsed?
This is mostly a question for Scawen, but if anyone is able to prove it experimentally, I'm also interested.
Assuming constant RPM and throttle position, does LFS model engine torque output as a single value? Or does it oscillate with the crankshaft phase based on the power pulses (e.g. a spike in torque every 180 degrees of a 4-cylinder's crankshaft rotation)?
I'm not sure how applicable it is to cars, but at least for motorbikes, a lot of people seem to be of the opinion that wide, uneven spacing of power pulses (such as in the case of V-configuration engines, or "cross-plane" crankshafts for inlines, e.g. latest Yamaha R1 and M1) is beneficial to a rider's ability to "feel" the level of grip under acceleration at the limit, compared to evenly-spaced power pulses that nevertheless may still experience some oscillation in torque output.
If no such torque oscillations exist at all in LFS, what effect they would have if added, and are they worth the CPU time?
Does the mass of the driveline and/or vehicle damp such oscillations to the point they're practically non-existent?

Can you change this to "her"?
Nice write-up, otherwise. I had a lot of fun preparing and racing in a league again, and really surprised myself when I got pole. My heart was pounding after that lap!
Thanks so much for organizing this series!
The LFS philosophy seems to involve making all car performance options more a matter of personal preference rather than an outright upgrade. Granted, while power delivery character can be a matter of preference as well, the devs seem interested in maintaining the idea that, given equal cars, equal gearing, and sufficient grip, you should be able to accelerate equally as fast as someone else.
Redline in 6th on my SV650S was about 220 km/h.

I miss the FO8. I'm honestly a bit surprised (in a good way) to see a series running it unrestricted, and without alternating with the FOX and/or FBM. Also, no safety car or mandatory pit. It's my kind of series.

I'm guessing not. LFS models the contact patch as a point (line?), which is why you see issues like this with sharp edges. This also causes the current flat-spot behaviour, where one section is merely shorter, with 90 degree edges on either side to the longer sections. For reference: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/File:TyreExplanation.jpg
AFAIK, Scawen's current work is more about the frictional behaviour of the tyre.

The "Lazy Entitled Millennial" meme is a not so subtle way of blaming the upcoming generation for their own struggles as a result of the current economic climate, in which they had little to no influence.

Ignore, deflect... The facts are right in front of you, you just refuse to see them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unlawfully_killed_transgender_people
There were "nearly 200 anti-LGBT bills [proposed] across 34 states in the first ten weeks of 2016."

All of this fuels LGBT hate and gives hateful people the confidence in their own perceived righteousness to commit acts like the Pulse shooter.

Mental illness is just another scapegoat, alongside Muslims and guns. The fact of the matter is mentally ill people are far more often victims than perpetrators of crimes.
The real issue here is homophobia in this country and on this planet, and yet the media (save for LGBT media people like Anderson Cooper) completely ignores and deflects this issue in favor of the aforementioned scapegoats. Far more people share the attitude of the shooter than many are willing to admit.
To dismiss him as a lone crazed gunman is to ignore the reality of hatred LGBT people experience on a daily basis.

Press F10 to show the suspension damage display.
Engine damage is caused by overrevving past the rev limiter (almost always from downshifting too early) and cannot be fixed in the pits.
Body damage can cause a reduction in ground clearance in rare cases, but otherwise body damage is purely cosmetic.

And how did you come to this conclusion? Are you a medical professional? The medical literature is quite clear on this topic. Kids conceptualize their own gender identity very early on.
Like Racer Y, you seem unreasonably concerned with how people live their own lives.
Look at this list and tell me that again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unlawfully_killed_transgender_people
I'm not suggesting all transphobic people are out there to kill transgender people. I am saying these attitudes perpetuate the violence leveled on the transgender population. These attitudes make the people who are doing the killing feel justified. This is to say nothing of systemic discrimination and oppression.
Pot, kettle, black.

You seem awfully concerned with how other people live their lives, despite how little it affects you.
