I wouldn't change much. This is still the best sim all 'round. But;

- more polys for the cars
- remodel driver mesh
- more polys for the helmet
- safety car
- a sporty version of the XRG with sweet tyres
- V8 racing sedan and/or coupe
- choice of rims for the road cars
- slicks for the LX4
- Goodwood
- hill climb/down hill track
- option to disable tyre wear Taped Shut or a spec tyre for drifting
- another path for Fern Bay (most under-rated circuit in LFS).
- better shadows
- Jessica Alba

If somebody is cheating it is likely that they will do something to affect their own car, not yours.

The first step is to eliminate any hardware issues because that is fairly easy to do.
Your controller is the first place to start. Sometimes pedals can have a problem with the potentiometers not traveling their full distance, resulting in slightly lower top end speed, or weaker braking.
Wireless controllers can sometimes lag and cause issues too.

As suggested above; make a replay showing the issue and we can try to troubleshoot your problem from there.

If you are using a wheel, re-calibrate it and the pedals using the software that came with the wheel. This is usually not necessary but sometimes it solves issues.

That sounds like a strange problem. It could be an issue with the wheel.

Even though you are not pushing any buttons when this happens, make sure that none of your wheel or shifter buttons is mapped to the escape function.
Also make sure that your computer keyboard is not touching any object and accidentally pushing the escape key.

Make sure that your wheel's USB cable is plugged in properly. A USB 2.0 port is probably safest for the G29.

To be clear; are you talking about the speed of your car, or the speed of your opponent's car?

Is the problem that your car seems too slow, or is it that somebody else's car seems too fast, or is it something else?

Thanks for your patience.

Quote from farcar :Some could do with a few more cylinders too Smile I think 15 / 20 are 4 cylinder.
As an Aussie, I'd always hoped for a V8 tin-top.

Maybe a 1974 XB Falcon Hardtop? Wink

I had always hoped for a vintage GP-style racer (or two) from around the early fifties.
I like most of the cars in LFS, though the RB4 could use a few more polygons IMO Taped Shut

Do you mean the artistic style of the livery and how it fits the car, or do you mean modern sponsor logos, or both?

Quote from -verde- :psd2svg + vectorizing layers in Inkscape, that's what I think about it.

It won't be as good as the real thing. If I can find my old version of Inkscape I can convert the original CDR vectors to SVG. I remember releasing one of the kits that way a few years ago.

* the latest versions of Inkscape no longer handle the old CDR files.

Quote from -verde- :This is what I was thinking about for some time, though I had a slightly different idea. My approarch would be to create svg files from Master Skinners' templates, so there are wiring (polygons) layers in them. Then combining them in a single svg or jpg/other file with wiring hidden and (maybe) watermark added on the skin background. I think I could help with that.

I'm curious to know how you will convert a PSD layer into a SVG.

Nice work on these F1 conversions.

I haven't tested this kit so let me know if it has any issues. If it is OK I will make a separate post.

XRR tyre brand decals for the sunvisor in PSD format.

If you download the Master Skinnerz kits they include an unskinned version of the car in 2048 x 2048. All of the other files included are Photoshop compatible. If you open the blank skin (or the kit itself, which is PSD) with PS you are good to go.
