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

Quote from Feffe85 :

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

Bro, I think thats a really cool idea, BRING ON DA GT1's, any car that handles nicely and has some nice BIG power, and if its turboed, SO MUCH THE BETTER

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Completely useless IMHO. It's not like you'd see your wheels while driving anyway.
Also, it#s not only making the 3D-models, but implementing a selection, insuring they work and especially compatibility (word is that the shape of the wheels has an impact on physics. Even if it is hardly noticable, it messes up with compatibility).

So no, not worth the effort.

Dude what is your issue, what we will do is ask LFS to make a separate game for folks like yourself in which there is 1 car, 1 tyre option, 1 track, 1 colour, 1 of everything. Get some diversity in your life, +109813927983 from my side

+1238319898318178237838832, flippin awsome idea, love it

If you are standing dead still in first with clutch engaged (XRR), the turbo will reach full boost after 3-4 seconds, then you will have full boost right through 1st gear if u dump the clutch, but if you put it in first and accelerate normally, not dumping the clutch and then accelerating hard you will reach 1.1 - 1.2 bar boost before changing to second gear, simply because there isn't a long enough duration in first to full spool the larger turbo that the XRR has. If you do the same with the XRT you will reach full boost (0.8 bar) in 1st gear because number one the boost is set lower and I am sure that the turbo is smaller.

Quote from Bandit77 :

actually no. it's self-regulating. the moment it lifts off, the rear wheels lose traction, thus no propulsion. then it touches down and the game starts all over again. must be an aerodynamic speedlimiter

Ha ha, u think stuff 2 much in depth, ha ha

Man this would be cool, first time ive heard of it but it looks nice
