nice supra dude, proud that there's also LFS modders from the same country

congrats for published mod, drive great looks great, but sounds are kinda off because it's too rough, but allow me to recheck real stock supra to compare

anyway here's the screenshot of it, I really enjoyed it, and hope if I could get private agreement for this to make another form of this beautiful handmade supra

Hello again,

this time I'm producing mods for Auto House Performance Project event called AHPP Super Touring Cup, and the base I choose is RB4 because Jake_Blasted had done their FXO Supertourer (and upcoming his XRG Supertourer), so in an answer to his car, I together with Martin18 making a rival of that car

Thanks for Martin18 to help me for the handling of this car and the rest AHPP team that give me chance to proof my standards to set some qualities in this car and forward

Quote from Scawen :

... I assume you would like the selection button and the visible model to disappear at once.

I've been thinking about control over hide-unhide subobject like in example in photoshop layers (pict 1), a toggle to hide or unhide one or some layers with eye icon checkbox, or hide-unhide folder with button like "select all" checkbox in windows explorer (pict 2) will do

but judging from how LFSE top-left menu looks like, I think it's quite tricky for you to put some layout to enable those control, but I hope you get the ideas about hide-unhide one or some subobjects and figured out how to implement that

havent tried to mess around with subobject names in D15 after updating, but the positioning pretty neat I would say, less confusing too because it's arranged by vertical lists, instead "too many A" buttons

Quote from Scawen :

It's not really a bug...

Ahh okay okay, I assume it's all normal then, Thankyou for explanations Sir 😄

second and last, again, is this normal we cannot move or resize S_PLATE_ALP cutout? I have tried many times to resize it, but I just realized, whenever I drag the edge or center point on the cutout, it being reset to original place like what I've been screenshot it.

I think on LFSE earlier build, this isnt happen, that's why I'm asking if is this normal (and intended, since this are license plate, to get full fledge alphanumeric character), or this kind of bug

Hello, I dont know where to ask if this normal, or bug, but let me break down the questions into 2 posts

First one, I tried to change S_PLATE_ALP to different mode, from ALPHA TEST and TREE EDGE ALPHA, whenever I exit from modeller, it resets to ALPHA only, is this bug or what?

why I test this, because in-game, I found out, when seeing that lettering I made, it doesnt show up when I'm viewing it from the exterior, but when in interior I could see it, I'm also seeing this differences both on Editor (LFSE general), 3D modeller mode, and in-game, which in 3D modeller it looks fine, but in Editor and in-game, the anomaly happens

this one might be minor, because I think it wont affect anything technically, but I just wanted to make sure this aint bug, this is just normal on recent graphical system only, I'm on modeller test patch D14 right now

I'm scratching my head many times, thinking if "am I done making those lettering double-sided? or I missed that?" but I just realized it's already double-sided

Quote from Scawen :

People in Asia, Oceania, North / South America, the incomplete files issue should be fixed so please try again with the new option and see if you get mods more quickly from the redirected locations. You will see a yellow redirect message if you are redirected.

If you enable Options... Misc - Allow HTTP redirect [EXPERIMENTAL]
Locations in Asia and Oceania should download mods from Japan
Locations in North and South America should download from USA

I confirm, the download speed are now faster now for me who living slowest internet speed in Asia region, and for mods that have big file size now are downloaded successfully without any incomplete file download. I would say it's well done

the only things that still need to test with my ISP too are, when connecting to servers outside US and Asia for joining any server room, it often timed out, sometimes cannot entering the server, sometimes can connect but in the middle of race or cruise, I often kicked out due to time out. my ISP probably are on NAT3 state which very restrictive, but other games beside LFS are fine despite experiencing huge lag spikes

Quote from FIZ :

Unfortunately I did not check the size of the folder before using the clean function.
Anyway leaving default settings, I mean the two flagged checkboxes, it cleaned 729 of 1454 saved mods.
The vast majority of them comes from that Test free drive server at Westhill where many people try many mods.. so the folder is very crowded
Removing also the mods that are never seen on replays would be nice to have.. yeah, but.. I think it is better instead to just "advertise" the clean function exposing the mods number and mods disk space used, maybe even inside the button "Clean":
< Clean 1454 mods | 10.5 GB >
While trying different servers, as I did, I am too amazed by how many mods "I" downloaded without even trying them once, so that mods folder may grow a lot without the user noticing it.
In my case, having good internet connection, the downloads were always very fast (FFTH, Italy - Rome) so I did not feel they were somewhat heavy.

IMHO I liked this general ideas, preventing stolen mods also

Buuuuut, for a slow speed internet connections like in here in my place, redownloading mods to be used on server you're joining again is quite painful waiting the download speed of it

Hello, I come again to put some suggestion here

Soooooo I just working on derivatives mod for a while, and I think we just missing out function to hide-unhide subobjects

For me, it's same crucial just like how we hide-unhide tris and points, so when we working on specific subobject, we can hide the other subobject that overlapping our view to recent subobject that we working on

Also, could we have options to merge 2 subobjects, beside merge sub to main which already exist?

definitely Murican !!! love to drive this car fast tho <3

Quote from Flame CZE :

Great car, fun to drive!

Can you make a dedicated LOD2 model please?

uhh, looks like I mistakenly delete LOD2 as per my re-check to my files again

Thanks for reminding, update on the way !

Quote from Snoop.DriftEra :

Some ideas from my notepad:

Maybe toggle mirrored points on-off? Because it’s kinda distracting to see the pink point, while it cannot be selected on “point” menu

Quote from Scawen :

Nice reason to use LFS editor!

well, for me personally, it's addicting because I could directly see the result without opening the main LFS program, so if I ever spot irregularities on the model that I'm making, I could fix it directly, also I could adjust the mechanical aspect based on the 3D model I'm making there, it's addicting to me personally, makes me kinda autistic when working with it hahaha

also, it's challenging because control input relatively simple yet completely different treat than any other 3d modeller, let's say in 3dsmax, there's cut tools to split 1 quad to 2 or many quads just in that area we're select, while in LFSE, in build mode, when we click on 2 points, there's a blue (?) or grey points, that if we click it makes another split to it, and redo the process to the another tris that we want to split.

so yeah, that's why

Quote from Scawen :

This thread is only about the modeller, not the vehicle editor or mods system in general.


Do you have any key suggestions? It's easier for me if you can do as much research as possible. For example if you know a key for a similar feature in another program, or simply have your own suggestion.

Oh, if it specific for modeller, then maybe my suggestion were M for "Fuse to Average", and alt+M for "Fuse to Green" since Shift+M already assigned with "Map" tab, because in Blender if I remembered correct (havent open Blender for a long time because LFSE more addicting and challenging to make something), M were also assigned for fuse (or Merge in Blender menu says)

Or maybe.... can we have a dialog version just like when we tried to extrude points? Would be feel handy with only hotkey M, just like how E for Extrude were defined

I do wish there's a limiter on all settings like suspension, drivetrain, etc, so we could have one car with limited or even fixed setup,

also, waiting hotkey for "fuse to green" and "fuse to average"

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

That's what I often read here. But that doesn't completely match my experience with AI. Scawen may shed us some light on AI programming one day, but it sounds more subtle than what you're describing.

It's true, when you start a first race with the AI, you sometimes have the impression of seeing a train come on a line. But after a few races, that changes. Behaviors become more varied. Lap times improve (a little ). AIs make mistakes. Bots seem to be trying stuff.

When bots are boosted (with more powerful engines on the original cars in the game) all these phenomena are amplified. The AIs double-cross you with rage. They sometimes brake too late and get out. Or get in the way. Sometimes it gets messy but it's often amazing, at least entertaining.

I no longer play online, but I am unable to take a lap on the track alone without getting bored .

I understand that AI is not a priority, but it exists and deserves to be a little better. Many people play against the AI. And a good AI would be better online.

IMHO as ex e-sport player that have competes on asian level, LFS AI lacks of exciting duels, as you can see, even on some occasion, fastest AI holding them back against the slowest AI until finished, and oh if theyre driving equal car, most of the time the car that being overtaken, slowing down for nothing, to be a comparation, I have driving 3 wide against another player on Assetto Corsa just to defend the 5th position, and seeing how AI in LFS racing, it just make me way bored to watch it without any sacrifice on both AIs

Also, AI reactions are too slow, so I personally fine if AI system arent priority to develop, I prefer doing Time Trial rather than race with AI, except if I wanted to practice my racecraft for competitive racing again, which I already quit from it 3 years ago

Hello, actually I'm not usually making thread about what mod that I'm making, but this time, I wanted to make a side plan, but probably would be early 2024 to be released, just like how my Veloce GT released this year.

okay so, based on my Veloce GT which I classified it as Sportscar since it's compact, also a Roadster because it's open top. The car I'm making now are classified as Hypercar, so it probably have wheelbase around 26xx-28xx, wider track, have V12 Naturally Aspirated engine, ofcourse same as Veloce GT, it have full electronics, but as because LFS didnt support Hybrid engine, so I'll go with V12 N/A but with plenty of electronics, says TC, Engine Brake Reductions, ABS, paddle shift, etc etc

I dont have a plan about how power figure will be, but with 1350kgs dry weight, I think the most reasonable power are in between 600-700bhp for it

let's talk about design wise, well, after playing BeamNG, I just notice that this beauty car Exist, it's Civetta Scintilla, it reminiscent of Ferrari car, so I planned to made the same design as this Scintilla, but with my noob skills of modelling

I need to sketch my own design first before get into modelling through LFSE

stay tune

Not LFS, exactly, but Scawen and Eric was mentioned (and praised!) in this documentary about Black & White! 👍

Quite a funny story of how Scawen got the job! @Scawen, is it true? 😂

Whoa, this motivates me a lot, total dedication from Scawen and Eric, working on Black & White, up until who they are today

So much inspires me, I kinda hate my job where I'm working now, and almost feeling hopeless, doing mods here is just like my escapism to free my mind from stresses and depressions I do wish I could be like this 2 guys that doing what they love the most, chasing and following their dreams

--------------

Anyway I might be missed the story, but why LFS are only consist of 3 people of developers? Why dont recruit more hands to speed up LFS development and keeping up with famous sim racing out there? Is there any back story that makes the developing team stays 3 people only? I would like to know

I wish real hud still shown on Shift+U mode, instead only blank but keeps virtual ones on

Quote from versiu :

I would add some edge, step or something between body and that net behind driver.
Car is almost perfect but that one element is a bit off...

I knew that someone would commenting on this, thankyou

aight, fix for that part incoming

A Fast, Nimble Modern Sportscar built for LFS

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Hello again,

Now are Modern Sportcar built for LFS, called VELOCE GT

The ideas is to have a roadster car in LFS, which have nowadays feature, says Electronic TC and ABS, Paddle Shifter, Adjustable Front Splitter, custom 3.0L high redline V6 Twin Turbo, all power planted to the wide-ass tires to made the car moving forward fast without loosing too much traction due to car with 600hp usually uses AWD system to keep the wheel grip the asphalt

It such pretty fun-to-drive MR roadcar ever build by me and Martin18 as Engine and Handling tuning, makes you feeling the joy of driving and racing with it

COVER SCREENSHOT:

tbh this styling are so me, but unfortunately you need to work hard for handling, since 900bhp with only under 1100kgs waaay to beast, it's handling poorly, maybe if you rework on chassis and suspension geometry, it could be lovely setting time on the South City courses

I hate to ask this since you already put LFS modding officially, Sir Scawen, but is it possible in the future, we have option to put an option for brake wear / brake fading capabilities?

Also, I would like to have an option to make some limited setup, or even fixed setup for some road-going car, which if compared to some other simulator out there, they differs between race car and road going car by its capabilities of setting setups, that might be interesting if exist, so any road-going car could be more exciting to compete, imagine one make race from 1 model car, which only able to edit several setup, i.e. roll bar only, and so on

-------------------

I initially would include my wish to have brake squealling sound too, but I'm afraid it might be too complex, and became disadvantage for peasant spec to have processing that sound, so I will keep it until 2 eish above are became exist, thanks from Indonesia, Sir Scawen and team 😄

my only complain is, steering wheel doesnt line up with driver animation, quick fix and it would be great !!
