I wonder if this is something easy for the devs to do or if it's a complicated addition, I can't think of why we wouldn't have it already.

I believe adding an easier, more streamlined way in which to enforce fixed setups could make league racing more accessible and more popular.

Setup making is a barrier to joining leagues, I am certainly not the best setup maker, and I know many others aren't so good either, we often rely on others to share. If you are part of the community this is fine, you can as team mates and friends, but if you are new, setups are more difficult to source. Fixed setup racing is attractive to new players who are learning the game and joining the community.

Quote from Scawen :

There is a big difference there.

In the earlier image the interface was confined to the central third of the screen, and the left and right thirds had separately rendered images (at a different angle, designed for a 3-screen setup).

In the recent image the interface is wider, confined to a 16:9 area in the centre of the wide screen. The game image is one single render.

Have a closer look:

Can you snap the UI to the edges of the screen?

We want to improve the reputation of LFS, not piledrive it 6 feet deep

I did say 'something like' I trust the LFS devs to be a little more competent. Plus, LFS is a million times better than rF2

Quote from FIZ :

The problem is that LFS looks like a game from 20 years ago.

I think LFS' looks are more of a strong point instead of a weak point. It's not super flashy with loads of motion blur and lens flare, but it looks very real. The lighting needs improving, and some models could do with texture updates and higher detail, but these things will come. LFS looks and feels very organic, and with the new updates in the pipeline I believe it will be the most realistic looking sim there is.

There are a couple things that make LFS feel a little older. I think the website is the only .net I've ever visited. The UI, while it works amazingly and I wouldn't want to do much to change it, looks a little dated, and lacks a few features.

LFS doesn't have any official events, they work amazingly in other, larger sims where they bring massive player and viewer numbers. Something like Virtual Le Mans, or the iRacing special events that are run by the developers instead of the community. Live for Speed could hire a broadcast team like SBTV to stream the event to official social media accounts like YouTube or Twitch.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Seeing the engine damage displayed in server now - maybe this should not be public,but same as fuel - shown to others only when enabled? Or at least as tyres - show color only without value.

I like the idea of only showing the colour to others.

schikok rase wit der mods? schikok modes?

I really like the bar for clutch heat, I don't care the exact temperature, I just need to know if I need to be careful. I think engine damage is different as it isn't something that goes away, it think would be nice to make it consistent with clutch heat in the UI. Maybe if both were bars but engine damage could have the number over the bar, or alongside?

Not sure what the point of this thread is? The topic of tyre physics and the various improvements it needs/is getting has been done to death. I know there are only so many things to talk about on here but just let Scawen do his thing.

Quote from Huskii :

This point is very good, especially about the 10 years ICE cars being expensive, they will also at some point become impractical too, in the UK there's a subsection about 'classic' cars of 20 and 40 years being tax and MOT exempt respectively, but also think about the infrastructure for ICE / fuel burning cars, with ICE cars being less and less common those places must adjust or go, and I think most will, leave and close. Which will make even owning an ICE car difficult and possibly expensive to run too with lower fuel demand meaning lower production and higher pricing (economy of scale)

I believe that ICE cars will become much cheaper, apart from collector cars. New ICE cars will be banned in most places anyway, and a lot of people in the market for a new car will look for EV. I think the second hand market will be much cheaper because again, people buying a car will be looking for EVs.

There's always going to be a need for petrol stations, things like the trucking industry which will take much longer to convert over to EV (In a sustainable, safe way at least,) and they will still need fuel infrastructure. Not to mention that many, many people drive cars that are 10, 20+ years old, will still be creating a demand for ICE infrastructure. It may become more expensive to run ICE cars, but it's going to take 25+ years for ICE to start becoming obsolete and for infrastructure to start disappearing.

I'm very much of the opinion that cars, no matter what is used to propel them, are bad for the environment. Both in a physical climate change way and a social way. I find moving over to EVs is just moving the goal posts, there is still crazy amounts of pollution and harm done in producing and running EVs, not to mention issues with slavery and worker safety. Car dependancy alienates people, there is a reason the happiest and safest cities around the world are cities with amazing public transport, plenty of cycling infrastructure and walkable communities, and that reason is the reduced dependancy on cars.

rony you better win this one with all the practice driving an mr2

Looks just like the Automobilista model, hope it's not ripped from there because it's a fun car on there.

Quote from Dido bmw :

Have you come here to seek justice?
You should show the entire mpr. not a snippet that only shows the incident. (which happens everywhere and to everyone)

You didn't show the entire mpr - because everyone would have to see what you do beforehand.

You are not a ferpley driver - you make at least a few contacts with other drivers in each race.

Your little skill - you replace only using an air tunnel or blocking

I don't want to pursue this topic here - but I have decided to comment on it.
1 collision can happen, 2 collisions can happen
Conversely, if you foul and cause deliberate accidents in each race (even an Angel will lose patience)

My advice - eat as fast as you can and what skills you have.
you replace your skills and thinking during the race only with the use of the "gas" pedal
therefore, in 98% of races you participate in, it ends in at least a collision.

I will also refer to the ban you received on my servers
during tournaments with prizes.
You were doing exactly the same as I described before, your willingness to prove that you can win - coupled with not having any kind of thinking.

Your driving style repeatedly crossing other drivers' lines
caused by a total lack of thinking during your attacks
that are doomed to accidents in advance - and only the thinking of other drivers can help you avoid accidents with you
If every driver thought like you - You would just be a Troll on the track.

And I am sorry to write this - but these are the facts
focus on not endangering other drivers with your mindless attacks, eat as fast as you can, use racing lines in which you are able to master the car.

Later when you get it right - start looking for good speeds and wins.
As of today, you do exactly the opposite
high speed (draft) + your mindless irrational attacks
they only cause collisions.

Personally, I have nothing against you, I like racing with you
Someone - he wrote wisely here - in motorsport you have to think
with each attack (you always pay for the damage whether it's your fault or not) to win you have to think for yourself and others, today you have a problem with thinking for yourself.

and believe me, I know what I have been writing about for 11 years, I have been practicing real motorsport and taking part in international leagues.

lets see the mpr then, i wanna watch

I'm sorry, but 'LFS Mods Showcase' by EvolutionR is the only YT series that i know by this name. The one and only.

what? I am confused

Quote from Excellent15 :

But i believe single category would be better, looking at previous years atendence.

I think the reason people were turned off of last season was the very different way of balancing, with pit stop times, and the fact that the cars used weren't exactly the most popular. People should be racing to get a proper multi class endurance series out as soon as possible, with GTs and Prototypes, because you can bet that it'll be a hit if done right.

Is this post sponsored by Tampax?

no it's written by bush

Quote from tommer :

Yeah, no thanks.

I don't have to accept it or put my time into these things if I don't want to. It's not a breach of the rules for me to simply not play the game.

Maybe you think I am overreacting. I'm sure there are other modders who are more than prepared to put up with being treated in this way, and will continue to make mods well into LFS's future despite having their work removed at random, but I am not one of them.

It's not a fortunate position, but it is what it is.
