This is great stuff, looking forward to see what kinds of things can be done to add detail on layouts.

I hope i'm not too late to suggest anything, but Elmo's suggestion of stacked armco wall is something i'd love to see. You can stack the current armcos but it would take 3 object spots for 1 "full object", and if you want to hide the legs of the lowest armco you risk catching the tyre with the lowest armco's top part of the hitbox (the tyre tread can "jump" from asphalt to on top of it if the armco is low enough). Having coloured options of the armco would be cool as well, for example original steel, red/white variant and perhaps yellow or white with blue or black.

Also adding to the armco, would it be possible to have a fence or a fence wall as well? Would only need to be a rectangle with a texture and collision, like the ones in the current tracks we got.

Layout pitlanes could be made more detailed by having a tent like in the example pic above but without the side walls. Of course it doesn't matter that much but it's a small bit of immersion.

Last but not least, a larger ad-banner similar in looks to Westhill's ones but a lot smaller in size would spice up layouts a lot as well and has a lot of use, especially if it would have it's own texture, or a set of them, like the smaller banner boards that are in the game currently. One example of a decent sized ad board would be 2 posts above in the Tsukuba picture.

Quote from AEF :

The logo wouldn't be a problem, it was just provisional. The problem is that this CCA-licensed model I downloaded from Sketchfab might have been ripped from another game.

What do you think?

it is more than possible, considering the other submissions the user has posted. judging by the triangle amount it could very well be from some mobile game.

Quote from PjD :

It's disappointing to see so much negativity towards a player who is politley and clearly giving honest feedback.

It's especially funny because 10+ years ago if you would say LFS was a game you'd get flamed.

But then again nowadays the term "simulation" has gained so much inflation that people consider anything a simulation if it says so in the title.

I uploaded these for a friend when i noticed the site was down too. I don't have the latest UF pro-kit (i recall there was an updated one) but all of the logos should be there.

There you go, have fun. I can understand why you guys want to lock the tyre temps, but i do also hope it will never become implemented in the game apart from modded in like this.

Not officially, but you can always remove the "~000" version number behind the .veh file and folder and you can open it up in the test tab in singleplayer mode.

was thinking of making something out of this, but the first thing i see in editor is this

Quote from fatalunfair :

Can you make drift version of this pls

Good idea!

Here's the "Garland Drift Drift" version, it goes sideways in more ways than one

Vehicle mod: GARLAND DRIFT
Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/AE1BF3

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

go sideways

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Not much to say, it's a drift version of the Garland i did a while back.

Still a work in progress, once i get the interior done then i'll carry that over from the stock version to this and the grip masters one.

Any feedback is welcome, it should be fairly easy to throw sideways with the default setup, but there's always room for improvement.

COVER SCREENSHOT:

E34 has a McPherson front suspension if i'm not mistaken, it's possible to recreate the amount of caster by adjusting the thrust bearing backwards

Quote from RC-Maus :

Looks like a burned clutch maybe or wrong gear setup maybe upload a spr so we can see what is happening.

My thoughts as well, i also noticed this. If the clutch bar there looks like that when the car is moving, that explains everything you see in the video

Might have to recalibrate your clutch as even in the autoclutch mode it's possible to engage the clutch axis manually

Racing truck

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Somewhat underperforming racing truck. Rated at 720bhp/2200nm, it is far from the real racing trucks, but as there is no way of limiting the top speed of the car for everyone, i felt limiting the power was the next logical step. It's fast enough even with that amount of power.

This is still a work in progress, there is still things to do such as the interior details, skinfile fixes and some mesh improvements here and there. I'm getting slower at making mods since i have less free time than i used to, so that's why i'm releasing this in it's current state.

Most of the work has been put into optimizing the model itself, as the original FAT-TX is around 65k triangles, i've managed to reduce it to less than half of the triangles, at 28k.

Physics of the truck aren't propably realistic, as i do not know at all how these things are supposed to handle, so the priority has been to create a believable experience that is enough fun for any control methods. Thanks to kurkku87 for testing it out with keyboard.
