You just have to love this community! Most developers just want the money. I think we are trully lucky to have a developing team like this. And again, thank YOU Scawen and not just you, we must not forget Victor and Eric. Thank you all!

But they still sound like tractors.

Cemented stones behind the curbs?

Chevrolet at first had a RHD Lacetti in WTCC but in their 2nd season they changed to LHD because most of he tracks are clockwise. I guess it's faster in right corners that way.

Time scale would be usefull to test tyre wear and fuel consumption on setups to figure out strategies for a long race faster though.

Demo and LX???

The common name is estate. Audi calls it Avant, FIAT calls them Weekend, BMW calls them Touring, etc.

What about further "normal" cars, starting with an ordinary limousine, getting up to a powerful hatchback like the Audi RS6?

You mean estate? hatchbacks are Golf, A3 and cars like that.

i want a skyline gtr its best drift car http://www.motordesktop.com/wa ... TR%201%20-%201024x768.jpg

and i want a rx-7

What are you, an idiot? it's not like the Skyline has tons of electronics to prevent excesive sliding and you go and say it's the best drift car. Geez, do you know anything about cars at all??

OpenGL will be crap for Vista users. It doesn't run natively in Vista. It's emulated and is freakingly slow. Microsoft just screwed up all the cad/cam software making companies

For that, we'd need a big AutoX area and TG's permission.

Geez, that's UXRL... (sorry )

-1 for me - convertibles are heavier because they need to have massive pieces of iron bars in the sides to stay togheter yet they still flex a lot more. It wouldn't be a problem with no chasiss flex but that way it'd be unreal...

Quote from ScorpioGT :

What about updating the UF GTR with a MIDTURBOHAYABUSAENGINE?
Just throw in the second gear and go back in the future.... flames on the track LOL

Said this before and IMO no need for a turbo. What, do you want the damn thing to fly???

Quote from Rappa Z :

My friend told me that after 12(or 21, i forget) the tyres of the Veyron will start to melt. Is there anything to confirm this?

After 15 minutes they would fall appart, fuel runs out after 12.

Quote from InSaneTK :

I didn't hear about this car before a week ago, sorry but this isn't actually common knowledge by everyone as you want it to sound like :P

You're kidding, right? Sheesh, the most useless car ever made and the specs are all wrong. How can 0-400 kph and 0-250 mph (402 kph) be the same when going from 400 to 407 took almost half a minute on Top Gear...

EDIT: Just read page 42:

Oh, and almost all of them are stick shift, so I dont see how everyone thinks girls and hairdressers drive it? (im not saying all girls cant drive stick.. just alot)

I think girls and hairdressers would have a hard time driving an auto here...

It would be filled with crap mods...

UFR whacko edition - powered by a bike engine.

I don't see any reason to get rid of it really, we aren't inidated with spam by any of the people on the first page of the saddness ratings (except Jakg ). Although I'm scrailly close to 3000 posts

Getting closer with each post

And shouldn't this be in the forum section? :P

Anywho, to be on topic, i'm on a forum (hand coded by a few crazy people) and we don't have post counts on the forum (but they are in the profile, there's a special statistics tab there) and it's okay. It doesn't even have avatars. Sure, you COULD judge a member by the number of posts (Tristan for example), but there are VERY smart exceptions that don't post and vice versa. We could have a vote system. If a member thinks a certain member is very nice, they give them a +. Or a - if they don't like them. The bigger the difference is, the nicer, helpful and stuff like that a member is (or isn't) and those posts should be taken more seriously. One person that would have a big + number is (yes, again) Tristan. He's very well educated and i only wish i could read more of his mechanics oriented posts (learned quite a few things from there even though they are rare).

There, my view.

Quote from sam93 :

ian if you think drifting needs no skill go on to lfs get into a lx6 and try drifting with that as that needs some skill to keep under control when in a slide and to get out of the slide

Can you? LX6 is damn hard, when i tried to drift it almost a year ago (quit in May), i would be widening and closing the angle like mad. It's has a very short wheelbase, is light and powerfull which makes it a bitch. But some people don't stop there and tame the beast. XRT is definetly THE BEST to drift.

Isn't the first uphill corner (the right hander) a real bitch, hanging outwards with a big bump in the braking area (so you have to take it shallow)?

An Initial D style road would be in some cases quite useless for most of the cars (Emperor track for example - one lane only). I'm all for an uphill/downhill road but it has to be wide enough for the GTRs and Formulas to drive on and pass with some gap, otherwise it could be just used for single car sprints. Then there's the problem of completing a lap. Bathurst would be best IMO

An Initial D type track would be used from point A to point B. Wouldn't it be stupid to restart after every run when you can do 15 laps now?

No, you measure torque in Nm

Quote from tristancliffe :

So that they don't have to display spray? In which case it removes 99.9% of the problems of wet weather racing. It's not the decrease in grip that makes it hard, but the lack of visibility (meaning you can't see puddles, other cars etc). So EVERYTHING needs to be calculated. Can't get decent fps in the wet? Then don't join wet servers. Simple.

Actually, if it was made by hacking a bit, the range of visibility could be decreased very much and then LFS would render far less and should be faster (well, it would be compensated with other stuff).

Quote from funnybone2 :

what a coencindence (spelling?)

What the?? A Yaris is not V6. It's a straight 4. I have NO idea why you'd want a V6 with 85 bhp. A V6 would be useful only at 200+ BHP for diesels... Otherwise it's just too complicated.
