i doubt thats true. it would be very easy to prove rf is directly benefiting from using that track on the f1 show. In fact they are only there due to it. So they must have some kind of licensing, otherwise they are sue material.
tyre deflection was tweaked at bf1 patch time, (...) the contact patch does move around more (requested). In future this value will probably be tweaked. Also dif tyre types are gonna be considered.
I said that 2 threads ago. I dunno what else people want to debate.
slip curves did not change due to this request. this was a graphical feedback request that involved tyre deflection code, coz the anim of flex is based on the physics. no one in the team, bases their physics suggestions on how 7 polys look. clearly thats not the case in this forum. and thats why this is the public forum. where the public can write whatever they want.
I see many people judging lfs physics, based almost solely on a lowpoly visual feedback interpretation of tyrecode (not refering just to this exact thread). Imagine doing the exact same for all other sims... rock solid sims those are.
sometimes i wonder if its really nice to implement cutting edge crap, to be honest and "debuggy", providing analysis tools ingame, or if solid frozen cylinders like everyone else does without any kind of diagrams or force feedback vectors and bla bla would be better. kinda like, its a ferrari badge, now imagine all the rest. " we used real data and our sim is used by nasa". hide all debuggy stuff, call it hardcore mode and instant belief factor increases...
With this i dont mean the flex anim cant be tweaked, in fact it was tweaked by request for the bf1patch, and it obviously worked since many ppl only now noticed lfs had visually flexible tyres (which it had for so long already).
judge the visual feedback freely and contructively suggest with pics and vids how it can improve, but please, dont waste everyones (i guess) time, by typing physics essays based on how 7 polys (2+3+2) bend over and look.
well if its too late for this version, they can always pump out a "deluxe" version of it, like dat mockup with lcd (same lcd as in g15 keyboard but instead of ambar, cyan), and maybe FF shifter [hint]
1) Dear Logitech. I will buy this wheel. But i would buy it even happier if u could have 5 buttons on wheel, instead of just 2.
A programmable lcd (alla g15) center of wheel would be nice also. Or just have the placeholder for that "upgrade extension", on the wheel. LFS can use it very well and surely other sims to follow.
thanks for a kickass product basically everyone was waiting for. midrange perfectness.
2) here is my revised proposal mockup. Hope you understand the 5th button important also for "next feature" lcd navigation (therefore its linked color). It could also be a dial (twist) for analogue "more or less" and pressable for "ok/next".
I dont mind paying extra X dolars or so to have these additional features.
Wish u good luck, and hope u enjoy this quick mockup:
take a hike dude.
as if u know what i know or not about tyre models. as if u have a clue of what i test or not. see my name in gtp and lfs testing? chill please.
You seem to enjoy the magneto-rail technology invented by fisherprice in the late 70s and how its built in nk, so be it. praise it at will.
just dont tell other ppl to shut it, invoking dillemas u clearly have, disguised under some fascizoid moralistic attitude.
it wasnt me that brought nkp to the discussion. in fact i thought the discussion was around dat theme.
and if u believe everything kunos writes, then how do u explain the nkp fiasco and the history of lies he has behind him (and no i dont mean the un-met schedules).
let ppl express their opinions freely and please dont talk for everyone else on matters that are clearly subjective to each own.
have a nice day, bully.
ps: discussing tyre model of nk, is like discussing if blue is the new yellow while there's a nuclear war going on.
nk doesnt even need tyres. u can drive cars without tyres. on air. or even flip it over and drive upsidedown. yeah its a "bug", dat was supposed to be cleaned and done 3 years ago. he even mocked ppl who reported it, saying the "no brainer" was squashed. Oh the delight. Funny its still here, just like the rest of the game. funny indeed. we do have fun with it. and we dont even need to play it. thanks nk.
