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 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

Quote from felplacerad :

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

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

A Coupe Siblings from XF GTI, with more power to compete with TBO classes

suspension and engine are tuned by Martin18 together with lovely sounds

a small, nimble car to hot lap, or to cruise, whatever you choose, this car might on par with XRT, maybe faster than RB4, and maybe slower than FX0, depends on the track you choose

a Coupe styling are based on 90's era with two tone style

RB GTR by Ivan CSX Studio

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

if you know, you know

The car are based on Woodone Tom's Supra JGTC GT500 on 2003, which are my favorite and glad that I could translate the design to this RB4 which are quite similar to Supra itself (despite it dominant as Celica GT Four, but well, Celica and Supra are started from one base, isn't it?

spec are build to meet "Balanced of Performance" against any car in GTR Classes (XRR-FZR-FXR), using V8 1UZ spec that matched with 1100kgs as how vanilla GTR was, this car are quite agile around Rockingham

This mod are intended for any league holder to use, if there's a league with GTR car, then this car will be a great candidate to giving some variations in racing with GTR classes

COVER SCREENSHOT:

my only complain maybe only the visual that not so smooth at all, maybe if you redone the whole kit again, it could be great in terms visuals

anyway, nice mod

Quote from loopingz :

Is it normal that it doesnot appear anymore?

Unfortunately, due to "retopo" arent allowed anymore, so I must respect admin and dev decision to take down this mod

Sorry guys, but I promise I'll do revision to this car so it will no longer altering the rules, and became available soon 😄

Aight

this time I premade kit for 2023 season, all done in LFSE so far with almost no blueprint or references (just relying on eye accuracy alone), with homework to do some detailings and the big parts is interior

I made the naming into G1 and G2, which is G1 based on Pennzoil Nismo, and G2 based on Xanavi/Motul Pitwork

G1 are equipped with RB26 which ofc Inline 6, and G2 are equipped with VQ30 which ofc V6 based on 350Z on later year(?), I quite missed the details on this JGTC era, so pardon if I'm forget some details of it

both car are real in terms of specs, so far on raw test of mine using mouse & kb, it could have very competitive laptimes around westhill, but for G1, looks like I need to enlarge my guts, since the car tends to understeering (kinda feel like the front are too heavy, despite it has only 53:47), but on the other hand, the G2 are quite twitchy, maybe because low-end torque are too kick in(?) or maybe the COG are too low (since Motul Pitwork bodywork are lowered more), but when you nailed it, it have same laptimes as FZR at most, and at very worst are same with FXR, which both high and low standards (per AI test run)

that's all for now, I'll update it if there's another update of it

Last edited by ivancsx, Fri 21 Oct 2022, 13:34.

I noticed the suspension bottoming out, making it sometimes unstable highspeed cornering and under hard braking

I couldnt say much since I'm on mouse+KB right now, but overall I like the visuals of it, only from me the handling and probably sounds that still a homework for you

great job btw

A nimble mid-engine supercar build special for LFS

this car are based on Lillia 180X, which is now had wide aerokit and with total modification to the chassis, empowered with powerful 3,6L straight plane V8 consist of two banks of original 1.8L inline 4, and now equipped with turbo so the power could match the GTRs, but with beautiful 9k rpm sound as this engine build to scream happily

spec are build to meet "Balanced of Performance" against any car in GTR Classes (XRR-FZR-FXR), using custom high rev european V8 turbo spec that matched with 1100kgs as how vanilla GTR was, this car are quite agile around Rockingham

COVER SCREENSHOT:

this should be decent mod, only some parts needs to be readjusted:

1. the driver are way too down, makes the visibility kinda blocked
2. front light are crossing with front tyre

if this fixed, I believe this could get 4 stars atleast

wih keren malah jadi supra nih wkwkwk

anyway, nice, if you ever need to model real supra wheel, just dm me, kay?

FZ50 Turbo S by Ivan CSX Studio

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Hello again,

this time are another variant from P... I mean FZ50, as a lineup from the successful FZ50 GT by me, here's the P... I mean FZ50 Turbo S that I develop together with martin18

it still have 3,8L Boxer 6, but equipped with turbo and AWD as how Porsche 997 Turbo S was in real life, it has 530hp, AWD, all are for comfort driving, but you could do trackday with it too, but beware with those massive weight of the car itself since it has much component on it, it might drive you off the road if youre careless

COVER SCREENSHOT:

bad news, bad news

RE3 GTR are cancelled due to new rules about retopo thingy, sad but let's moving on to the next car will ya

instead of RE3 GTR, now we have Lillia-X GTR, thanks to Humuk78 that lending me the model, since it's allow derivatives, so this are extended modification of Lillia 180X that you already know

interesting bodyline, I wish this too are also derivatives allowed, so I could make something in GTR classes with this
