Why not? One of the more funny AC mods is a Ford Transit van.
Some concessions need to be made for hardware limitations. Currently there's only 1 pieces hardware out there that can properly simulate a proper H-pattern gearbox and it's expensive, no sim support and doesn't look like anyone has really bought it. The software is basically "canned" to unlock the gates when clutch is depressed or if the revs from the sim are at a certain position. Not really realistic either.
This has been a discussion over on the iRacing forums and one of the devs has been pretty active about it as well as explaining that it _could_ be possible with the data that iRacing has, but hardware would need to advance first. And to make up for the lack of peoples hardware, the gearbox simulation has a further abstraction on top to deal with the simplified hardware that people have
Right now the closest to "simulating" a gearbox are some shifters that interface with the pedals (mechanically) and lock the gear gate until the clutch is depressed but that's not something a game is aware of either.
That makes sense though as wheel speed can differ to "actual speed"
It is realistic and other sims exhibit this same behaviour.
LFS does run on Linux via WINE/Proton.
But to get LFS to run in that environment you need an unholy combo of translation layers and it'll be be unusably slow.
And it's not like the efforts made for x86 on ARM in Linux (for things like running Steam on Apple Silicon) with Box32 are reusable either for PPC.
I should try LFS on Apple Silicon though with the recent Asahi developments.
LFS doesn't run on PPC processors nor can the PS3 run Windows applications.
Completely incompatible CPU architectures and OS.
In theory, on PS3 Linux (in the JB mode that enabled full hardware), you could have (slowly) emulated LFS with something like BOCHS, but Sony removed PS3 Linux once it was jailbroken (and got sued for it) but never restored it.
Because you've broken the suspension and thus the steering geometry is now out of alignment.
Do you wanna share your member ID and a video of you using it? Just curious how it works...

Then we got a moza shifter that will autoblip on downshifts.

I think the more realistic thing is that Pubstats hasn't been updated in 12 years. Not much need for it as it's fairly stable of a feature.
The GPT-4 description isn't too wrong. It's basically an intentional delay where LFS does nothing to allow other processes to do something. Less of an issue on modern multicore systems as there's 2-32 "cores" (cores + hyperthreaded cores) available to carry out tasks.
Huh that gave me an interesting idea. Have people locally generate their own AI for a mod and then join an MP race and race their generated AI paths. It'd be interesting to see how "identical" they'd be or if there'd be differences.
LFS only supports force feedback (rotational output), not vibrations.
I have it installed and I guess it works for AC (in the rare times I use AC). I use iRacing's native LFE as it is entirely derived from physics rather than telemetry like the ButtKicker one is.
HaptiConnect isn't something required to use ButtKicker, it's just a first party centralized app for sim integration => effects generated from telemetry => bass effects being output to the correct device.
LFS could implement its own bass effects and allow you to output it to a 2nd audio device (like iRacing does) and you still don't need HaptiConnect or SimHub to generate those effects.

It doesn't seem like there is. Fanalabs is the official app for it but doesn't seem to support LFS.
It doesn't seem like it's been updated since 2021 so it might not support the CSL DD (and newer hardware).
No. Forever ago the training AI (which were slow) was replaced with a new AI system. We can see with the mods that it is able to quickly iterate an optimal race path in a short period (30-40 seconds)
For the longest time I basically had a set of scripts to do just that with the F9-F12 menus.
Sorry yeah, it's 1 patch. But at this current point it seems like Scawen's more or less "done" with the day/night stuff and has transitioned his efforts to finishing the physics
after the new tyre physics
also probably will require a paid licence too for dynamic day/time
The AI in the game aren't very intelligent and have little awareness of other cars. You'll have to drive considering that fact and take preventative measures from them hitting you.
Interestingly generations of the FBMW that we have does have autocut for upshifts. The one that LFS simulates just has a less technological gearbox in it.
The transmission is a sequential but doesn't have auto cut. You need to lift off the throttle to shift up. One thing you could do is basically hold the upshift paddle and then lift off the throttle to engage the next gear.
Downshifts should be easier as the gearbox will be under less load but you can't downshift too fast either.
