thanx guys for the suggestions, I will have a lookie

Noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago, I think, and automatically linked it to a dips in the power supply, but when it started happening 2-3 times in a day then I realised it had to be an issue with the game, if you have any ideas as to what is causing it, PLEASE do tell.
It seems like it mainly happens when I am in singly player mode and using the track editor, e.g. today I put a couple of ramps on the blackwood rallycross course and then raced against A.I. on the course with the ramps placed. I then went back and viewed the replay and slowing the replay rate to 0.250x while the A.I. was going over the ramps, all of a sudden the computer momentarily(split seconds) goes off and then switches back on/restarts.

Hope this helps

Well thanx devs for letting us know a bit about the progress of the scirocco and nowthe new tire model. It is GREATLY appreciated.

Well I wonder what this involves, I wonder whether we will get a drag slick , that would be cool, hehehe, but at least we know that the update should make the tires more realistic

I dont want to come across as a moaner, it is just that when u have a game as good as LFS, u need to try and keep up to date with the discussions, or at least give a genral statement letting all the racers know about the progress of an up date or patch, I mean come on, its been 7 months since there was any formal statement given with regards to the Scirocco

I fully agree, but I want to know if the devs even take the time to look at this, it would be nice to get some form of recognition from them, indicating that they have taken note of the suggest and why or why not they will improve on it.

If anyone has a more personal knowledge basis of the devs might want to send this suggestion to one of them specifically becuz at the moment it seem as if they are no where to be found, seeing that we have not heard ANYTHING of the Scirocco and why it has taken so blinking long.

COME ON DEVS, PLEASE TELL US SOMETHING!!!!!!!

I was wondering if Scawen could PLEASE give us an update on the scirrocos progress, it has afterall been 6 months since we have heard anything official?

Devs, pleeeeeeeez could you give us an update on the scirroco, its been a long time, please, just some progress info

I am sure that this question is on many racers minds, as to when we will be recieving the scirroco. It has been about 6 months since they notified about it being postponed and it would be nice to know a bit about the cars progress, surely it shouldnt be to long now?

My problem with smoke is that it means that the engine has been damaged (blue smoke, oil being burnt). But a nice backfire would be very nice on the GTR's, FOX, FO8, Turbo cars, UFR nd XFR

WHOA, dude, sorry for making a suggestion and throwing the world off balance and sending it into the sun . I can understand if LFS still needs to perfect the normal 4 stroke cycle but you have to admit that a rotary turbo powered car would be nice, good power to weight, GREAT sound, and its different

How awsome woulkd it be to have a lovely rotary car that puches alot of horse power, with beautiful lines, I think the mazda Rx7 would be a great car to add to LFS, or and fast rotary powered car

I was chilled, I answered his question by linking him to a forum post by a Dev that DIRECTLY answered his question.

Why do I frigging bother?

Buddy if you had just answered it with a simple "Sorry man, I dont have a clue" that would have been plenty good enough, the thing that ticked me off was the manner in which u said it

HEY DUDE , take a chill pill!, I have read all that bro, I am asking a SIMPLE question asking if anyone has heard any other news lately, some inside info, thats all I wanted to know!!!!!!!!!

I know it was postponed in december, but I was wondering If anyone has hear any news latley about the progress, when are we getting the car?

Number 1, what I mean by jumping is that they pull off on the red, the green is no way even close to being light up. The game recognises it as a jump or red light, but if they run a record the game recognises the record, which is wrong, it shouldn't, its not official.

Number 2, I am also not a noob to the concept of drag racing, I have been a major fan of it my entire life and have followed it very closely and have recently become a member of the pit crew for a driver.

In propper Drag Racing, if you red light, and you run a record on that run, it is unofficial, because you are not starting on the green. Obviously you let the clutch out slightly before the green light comes on so that you can get a low R.T, due to the slight delay between letting the clutch out and the car actually launching, but is you do this too soon your car will start moving before the green light comes on and your front wheel/s will cut the deep stage beam and it will come up as a Red light on the christmas tree/ starting lights.

I would also love it if LFS could put a bit more time into the drag strip and make it so that you have to burnout (optional), stage, and launch, aswell as all of the times being provided after the run(60ft, 330ft, 660ft, 1000ft and 1/4 mile aswell as the speed at the finish line).

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

What I am saying is that if the person jumps the green light, his time must not be counted, not recorded at all. There is now way in real life that if a guy jumps the lights his run, if it is a record run will be recorded, it is an unofficial time.

I am not totally sure how to post a replay, but even guys on the Drag host whom I was competing against said that was how the unbelievable times were achieved. I have seen guys run an 8.6 with the BF1 , not jumping the lights, but when you bring up "!top bf1" it shows guys that are running low 7 second personal bests . These times are simply impossible to do without jumping the lights.

I am sure it seems like a rather petty thing, but it isn't fair on those who are racing the correct way, and it takes away from the simulator qualities of the game.

Hey there, I have a bit of a problem with the way the drag strip records E.T's (elapsed times). I have notice numerous drivers under multiplayer conditions jumping the green light, going on the 3rd or mabe even earlier red/amber light. Under normal propper drag racing rules and conditions it would result in ared light and you automatically lose. On LFS it brings up the usual 30 second time penaulty but still record the E.T., so as a result there are guys that are posting times that are up to 2 seconds quicker than is actually possible, which isn't fair, or correct, it goes against the whole racing simulator idea.
1 other thing is there any chance you could fix it so that also gives your speed?
What are your guys ideas?

There already is a thread for car suggestions. Why on earth do you think that your suggestion better than the rest? Because it is not.

Whoa dude, I am not fond of the car/bike either but you dont need to go and be all grumpy about it, no need accusing the guy of something that isn't true, take it easy, enjoy life. If you don't like it either keep quiet or put a simple -1 as ur post:sadbanana

+1235612, thats a lekker idea , i have thought about that a couple of times, and ja with regards to the hazard or emergencey lights the two green arrows just flash similtaniously, nice, hope the devs do it, PLEASE

huh? no it´s not.. in a REAL auto car, when u step on the throttle it will go to, lets say 5k, then stay at almost the same place even tho it changes gear... everyone that has driven or been driven in a auto trans car must know what im talking about.. i know my explanation aint that good, but i can assure u, im not talking about a freaking CVT :P that a completely diff thing..



if u take ur drivers test using a auto boxed car, u wont be allowed to drive stick. and i dont think ur allowed to race with a manual car either if ur not even allowed to drive stick on the road.. if u get my point?

Sorry boet I have to disagree with you, it doen't go up to what ever rpm and just stay there even though its changed gear, I have driven in a couple of auto's and even had one given 2 me, they certainly dont do that, a CVT(continually variable transmission) does

Please dont take this as me bashing your thoughts, personally I dislike auto's intensley, and CVT's are even worse, no fun, but hey if they do decide to make1 thats ok, just my opinion, no offence

Flip, the love being shown in this thread is overwhelming, ha ha ha

Hey, I was wondering if a small patch could be brought in that will give us a rev limiter that makes the tachometer needle bounce when at the limit and also give the characteristic sound that accompanies it, not just the revs hitting the limit, and holding there?

Does anyone know what I am talking about, if not, go to your car switch it on and floor it and then you will understand
