Where does this come from? it's indeed S1 but...
Is that a hack or something! It 's so damn funny :dopey:

Quote from spyshagg :

Today, in 2007 big companies are hiring BIG physicists to build tyre models and suspencion models for a console game (forza2).http://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=314874

We heard the same kind of BS with GT 3 or 4! It's their way of doing marketing! By making their customers believe that the game is like reality but still they don't want to make them run with something discouraging. Keep in mind, it's a console game! It means that it is made so that it can be played with a joypad! It's pretty much where the simulation ends!

Quote from joen :

LFS is doing fine as it is, and although ofcourse every new player is welcome, I feel we need people on board who have a passion for racing simulation. People who think GT is a simulator don't belong in that category.

Why because they are wrong?
If they never tried anything better why would they think otherwise? I'm sure that many players here consider LFS as a very realistic sim only because they refer to other people who said so!
It's not what they think or know that matter but only what they are looking for! Anybody who's looking for realism in car's physics would be better here than in any other racing game!

Quote from Scawen :

Hello Racers.

Translators - for the many updates to the translations, helping LFS around the world

Maybe it would also be a good idea to have the LFS web site translated in several languages!
It may be a huge barrier for many potential customers!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Try just typing in "8" instead of "08".

It worked thx a lot!
That's weird, cause i didn't touch the birth date, it was just written like this on my profile!

In LFS world
LFS racers database
Your profile

When I try to change something ( favorite car and my controller actually), i got a pop up message:

Notification : The "day" value of your birth date is invalid
and of course nothing is change on my profile

Date of birth 08 - 03 - 1980

Quote from theirishnoob :

getting that for christmass cause it takes abut 3/4 months to make one car so maybe santa might bring us the rest ??

And where does this out of nowhere assertion come from?

From S1 to S2 11 cars were added! It doesn't seem that optimistic to expect at least as many new cars for S3!
Honestly, 3 to 4 month for one car, this is BS illepall

Quote from djgizmo68 :

The way i see LFS, is that all the cars can be used in all the tracks, wether as those cars, just seem to be built for offroad without any tarmac introduction

Have you ever tried the BF1 with one of the rallycross tracks?

Quote from heson :

No, that looks like drifting, car ballet to the "serious" racers around here, so we cant have that

Drifting is indeed more like a ballet on asphalt because it is not efficient to drive like that!

In rallycross and even more on ice it is the most efficient way to drive fast around the track! I don't see why it woudn't be serious .
Some people seems to be blindly agressive against anything related to drift

Would you like to have an Ice race car ( 4 wheels drive, 4 wheels steering, less than 1000 kg and about 350 hp) and at least one dedicated ice race in LFS?



I'm just wondering if people here like this kind of race!

PS: I used the search engine and didn't come up with anything interesting about this subject!

I don't care about the fictional stuffs! And actually, even if it wouldn't be that popular (probably), I'd find funny to have really unrealistics tracks in places where races are not supposed to happen

Quote from ramsy66 :

I just went out to the airfield again with my Mum, in her new car (It's a Mini, one of the new ones)

I noticed how much different it is compared to driving with my G25. Firstly, the accelerator is much more sensetive in real life, I hardly put my foot down and the revs were already up high, also changing gears doesn't feel as smooth. I feel I improved a bit since using my G25 though, as I have a deeper understanding of how cars work (at a faster speed, lol).

If by new one you refer to that, the only thing it has in common with the original mini is the name

Quote from davidjrichardson :

go in controls and turn off auto clutch :P

I thought it was pretty obvious that it was turned off

Strangely the clutch works by itself when you let it go too fast or when you brake while you are in first gear! The game seems to takeover whenever your engine is going to stall! Just watch the pedals indicators

It's not new but i agree, that's a major issue

I never experienced that at 50 km/h. Maybe you push too hard on the accelerator while turning with the RWD! By the way have your dad and bro ever driven a RWD irl ? I never did

+1 for the LMP
Something close to the toyota GT-one

Quote from Yaamboo :

I suppose Y won't need test patches as I imagine it will be basically a graphics overhaul with some physical changes. At least, I hope so, as those are just the kind of things I wouldn't want test patches to spoil

Good job again Scawen with the coding, I'm waiting impatiently for this again

(Although there still isn't a sound when you drive over the kerbs )

AI programming seems to be pretty complicated! I guess the first test patch will be a bug nest!

Who really care about that kind of details? It's convenient and you can modify it for yourself if you want

Quote from Gabkicks :

if the devs felt the community wasn't growing quickly enough, or if they felt bothered by people playing the demo for ages and not buying s2, wouldn't they have done something by now?

There's a nice number on the LFS webpage showing how many player are currently online! Put a time limit or a useless contents and this number will be split in 2! This number give an information about the size of the online community and dividing it by 2 may be harmful for LFS's image! Just an idea

If it was my game I would give 10 min per car (offline) with XRT,RB4, FZR, UFR, LX6,XFR and FO8. I would give fern bay black unlimited for offline games and keep blackwood for online and offlline games. I would allow unlimited online game with just the XFI. Giving unlimited game with the XRT is really too kind. Only one registration per email adress!

My connection sucks too and for the same reason I don't go anymore on Caribbean Cruise but in my case there's nothing LFS can do it's just my stupid provider's fault! My connection lag from time to time too but I never experienced what you'r talking about

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

now race trucks, they would be a great addition! Im up for anything that is made for off-road abuse!

Some old V8 muscle would be nice to! and i would love to see some super saloons (Lotus cartlon, sierra cosworth etc.)

I have nothing against off-road trucks but i was refering to this kind of trucks

If we have double decker buse's, all of the pits will have to have the roof and door hightened so it's possible to get in and out.... too much trouble for a stupid bus imho

Frenchy

We May need that for race trucks too and they are definitely worth the effort

Quote from Mike85 :

LFS is not about buses. Its about racing fast racing cars.

I didn't know the UF1 was considered as fast

Quote from BlackSheep720 :

LFS is a realism simulator. Asking for this is like asking for the Batmobile or for a jet-powered UF1 ! It's just a waste of space and time, as are many things in this world. (I just wasted a minute on this response )

So you deny that Bus exist in reality and think that the videos are forged?
Interresting
