Quote from ATHome :

A bit unrelated, but does anyone else thinks that 200kg extra weight in the MRT is just plain impossible ?

easy, just fill the steel tubes of the frame with lead
or even better: osmium

I don't want to trade in a balanced class, just because one user thinks one car is too slow and boring on one track.
It's like saying "powerboost the LX6, I find it boring to drive on WE1", so a big -1 from me to OP

Quote from March Hare :

All the vehicles shown were modified - aka NOT stock - and I was referring to vehicles that are good off-road STOCK. There is only the Defender.
Besides the Defender has another good off-roading trate: It looks even better with a few dents and covered in mud. What other car can boast that?

Did you even bother to read my post about the Wranglers? They were almost stock, only thing exchanged were the tyres (because stock tyres are usually some compromise, not pure offroad) and a winch (which just makes sense for serious offroading).
Even the Jimny (older model) could do good offroading while being completely stock. I know that, we had both of them.
The Defender is a very good offroad car - but by far not the only one

I like the the mod-approval thingy duke_toaster suggested (or at least I think that's what he meant), even if it could require a few more mods for the IS-section


btw: can we have xylophone raping hippo turd in lfs?

Quote from March Hare :

... Jeep is scraping plastic and chrome on the rocks. ...

Ermm. No? There is no chrome - at least on the Wrangler my father has. This one got leaf springs all around by the way
Plus some guys drove up to the top of the Ojos del Salado (6642 meters) with almost stock wranglers ... How can you call that a non-proper offroad car?

I would scan the article, but a) my scanner is broken and b) it's german anyway

lol but come on if anyone can make it i really want it

Sheesh... Third time already: It is impossible due to technical limitations of LFS

Quote from T1_3VOM :

Just had a quick read through. Anyone willing to explain how you cannot have the meter on the outside view? I just like to drift outside so I can keep an eye on where I am positioned on the track. I've had a look at the ini but I do not see anything.

Technical limitations of LFS. You simply can't use it outside.

*cough*
learn to read

It is affected by wind.

It is? I never noticed that
I'll still stick with RBR's smoke, which looks great to me

Quote from duke_toaster :

Jeeps suck, Land Rovers are better

You have obviously not driven a proper Jeep Wrangler offroad. Fair point, Land Rovers are awesome too. Plus they are seemingly unbreakable

@OP: Only if we get gravel rallies with tight turns

@slide ways: first of all: It's spelled "why", "you" and "are", second of all racing is about being the fastest, auto cross as well as drag racing are about being the fastest.

It hurts me too... but let's believe it's photoshoped.

I do hope that

The worst thing I would do of this would be #1, but then again, I could just "accidently" have hit "o" twice

Sorry Tristan, but your MX-5 just doesn't have the off road capabilities like my father's Wrangler... now it's your turn to prove what is girly about that one
(Ok, I admit, most of the time he drives it in RWD mode )

Skidmarks and see-through windows would be nice, sure, but what about auto-skindownloading? That would make it much easier to get other people's skins... maybe it should only work for licensed users though

+1 from me for anything with cooling damage, even the gearbox

Quote from duke_toaster :

I actually think there should be two more limitations.

There should always be more licenced users online - Simple. If there are 600 on each, and a demoer askes the server lists, they will get "There cannot be more demo players than licenced players. Buy S2!" or words to that effect. It shouldn't start booting people when licenced drivers get booted off.

A 15 second nag screen when requesting the server list - er, self explanatory.

Nah, that's one of LFS' good points, that it is so unrestrictive. Demo users have a hard time online anyway, and they miss some nice features (auto-x, skin-download) and fun cars/tracks as well as clean servers.
And if I remember correctly, LFS wasn't made for profit, it was made to be the best driving sim out there. If our dear devs wanted profit, they would have sold their souls to EA or somebody almost as evil.

on-topic bit: Larger auto-x area would be great, yeah

Uhm... critizism...
Well, the framerate is horrible, you see one car every 40 seconds or so, the chat is also enabled, there is no content (none that I could see at least)
You still got a lot to learn before publishing your videos

1 & 3 have been suggested before

About 2: I don't really get what you want? They already can have custom paint jobs and setups.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Ive tried the mouse and just simply do not like the feel of it, LFS is the first racing game i have played on the PC and all the others ive played on consoles so a controller seems the better option for me.

A gamepad is - in my opinion - the worst choice for for LFS. I can hardly drive with the keyboard, it's so-so with the mouse, but the PS2-pad is horrible for LFS. The G25 wheel however, is great

Quote from EeekiE :

My own Polo is 170bhp/Litre and the only weaklink unfortunately is the gearbox. The engine itself takes it like a man.

I always thought the "G-Lader" would cause most of the problems in the G40. Is your one reliable?

Quote from z3r0c00l :

My own personal opinion

I laughed at that

Sorry for OT

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

NASCAR seems so boring i dont know how you ameicans watch it they just drivearound in a circle for hours

Formula 1 all day long

both wrong - hill climb races are the way to go

Not too sure, Indi 500 was my first sim though (I couldn't read much English that, it was all down to guessing )
Accolade's Grand Prix was most likely my first racing game, my love for racing sims started with LFS ... I know I'm late

Quote from duke_toaster :

I agree - they are great small sports cars and would be cheap to tax. BUT there is also the Honda Beat.

Unfortunatly, there are no RWD K-cars that look OK in production. And even if they were they would not be sold in the UK.

MG TF.
The closest you can get to a RWD K-Car

Quote from aoun :

NO!!!! has to be biggerr and scaryer.. *looks for a pic of me*.. cmon try harder lol..

"This guy" is the perhaps scariest thing in the world. But I heard you can trick him by moving diagonal and using double speed

The only thing I don't like is the RB4
