Well they are looking for a driver that can just "drop everything" and make it to the big leagues. If you can make it, than can you really drop everything?
Oh no! It's turning into a "bring back patch X" thread again!
I'd say, from my experience, most people on S2 that I've raced with, including me, get about 1:35 average in a given race at blackwood, while driving the XFG or XRG. It's not too difficult once you get the hang of it. Also, there are more tracks in S2, so there are a wider range of skill levels. All/most of the good people on demo are that fast because blackwood is the only track, so they're sort of specialized.
Of course you care, otherwise you might be playing GTR2 or RFactor.
The Balancing of the two cars is a bit off, however, lowering the performance of the FXO just to balance the two cars, would also not be good either. Making the FXO slower would be out of the option, but also raising the XRTs horse power is a bit unfair too.
This was in another thread some where, suggesting to raise all of the TBO class cars horse power, however, that was rejected almost unanimously, including my vote.
It might not be a bad idea though, because the extra power in the FXO would offset its ease to drive, while also giving it more straight away speed. With the XRT and the RB4, they would also have more straight away speed, however they have a more stable drive train that can support the horse power.
IMO i think it might be the longitudinal grip values. Don't get me wrong, I think LFS have the best physics for the price and entertainment. The problem I see is, the front tires pull the car around the corner a little more than they should. In addition to FWD performance, slightly lowering the peak longitudinal grip would also fix the problem of competitive burnout starts. By that I mean the people that burnout at the start, and still keep up with the people that made a proper tire slip start.
The problem whit threads like these don't really do much for the progression of the sim, they are just conversation pieces for the community, because a person can get many opinions out of the entire population.

IMO the balance of the TBO class is fine the FWD cars are supposed to to be quicker and easier to drive , the only reason RWD cars are used more for racing is because the drive train can support higher horse power. Once a FWD exceeds a certain amount of power, it becomes almost uncontrollable, with all the torque steer, and power under steer.
Hammer some nails or put in some screws behind the pedals.
Its because your from Ecuador, as that is what is says under your avatar. You have to be a resident of the UK.
Oh now that you mention LFSn00b,I recognize the name Niko.
I submitted my info, but it said "sorry you do not meet the requirements for V1 Champion" or something of that sort.
/me cries in corner in the fetal position.............
And by judging by your comment, Niko is not from UK?
maybe i should submit a lap?
If I, being from the U.S., were to submit a lap time/replay to the V1Racer site, would it be removed?
Not that I would.
Not that I would.
One of the people running the V1 thingy looks like Donald Trump.
Yeah I talked to the sarcastic one and and he know pine-fin did not get kicked.
Sarcasm is just a part of life, when it happens just laugh.
laugh
^ why gh?
That also depends on the wheel. If the wheel is old or not that great, then the motor holds the free spinning feedback on over steer.
So you have to turn off all effects other than FFB of course. Especially the steering damper if the wheel does this.
Is there a sprEdit? just for those random long AI runs, where something interesting happens, on a circuit.
Cool, thank you,
/me bookmarks and creates an account
Is the V1 championship only airing in Europe?
this is the best i could do, given that i wasn't trying very hard
Does anybody really choose LFS? Usually just gets stumbled upon.
But, I needed a break from GT4 waiting for GT5..... now I will never go back to the GT series.
