Looking at the recent forum posts about account breaches and stuff, I wondered why LFS doesn't have a two-factor authentication system? I think it could be a good addition as an optional choice for additional account security, via phone number or similar. I don't know how feasible this is technially, but is an interesting discussion point, what do other users think?
Since I've started working on my own game, my respect for LFS devs grew significantly. You don't think of the fact that the AI system is years old, and that making a change is not just a simple "script", you'd have to rewrite most of it and it'd take a lot of time. Then you'd have to test that script to fix any bugs you may have created when rewriting. It's a lot of work for a fairly minor thing at this current moment
They don't because the physics are not completely implemented, due to the bikes behavior being different than cars. Bikes exist only as a fun thing you can do in LFS.
One of the key parts of racing is knowing how to manage your tyres, that means you indeed have to learn to drive the car without overheating the tyres, aswell as keeping them in the optimum temp range over all wear levels. LFS is, as michal said, a simulator, henceforth it tends to be as true to real life as the technology allows, which is why freezing temps shouldn't ever be an option
The cars are possible through modding using an S3 license and LFS Editor. The street "map" will be possible when the new revamp of South City comes, although it won't be Arab-style.
I've used head tracking a bit long time ago, as far as my memory serves, LFS automatically recognises the head tracking and puts you into the appropriate mode. I used opentrack with AITrack, using my phone to track my head, worked pretty well!
I mean, modern phones can quite decently emulate sixth gen game consoles (PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast etc etc.), so not that surprising LFS runs on mobile . I wonder what the limit to emulation is on mobile, thanks for inspiration
I think you can locally edit your skin, I don't see much use of this for online, since suits are visible like 0.001% of the time. Helmets are quite enough, in my opinion.
This is why I prefer to see just the virtual dash when driving with a wheel (not very often ). It eliminates the problem entirely and I feel like it's more realistic than seeing 2 wheels at the same time xD
This could be a great addition once Bancroft and the other circuit are added in the future. It would be great to have another real life track in the game. I'm interested in seeing an aerial view of the circuit or something similar, if you could provide some photos? I can't seem to find any top-view's online
edit: nevermind, found an aerial, the circuit looks interesting, reminds me of blackwood.
