Quote from Jonathon.provost :But the problem with the dds ones NO ONE CAN SEE THEM BUT U!!!
Also sometimes racers want a brake from racing so the go cruising.
And its not a pure racing sim its a better relaxed one where people can come and have a bit of fun away from the pure sims like iRacing. although iRacing is fun when it gets close

Actually that's incorrect. Not only you can see the DDS files. Everyone who got the DDS files can see the DDS files so if the majority of the cruisers have modified DDS files then that problem is solved. And you can always have 2 copys of LFS installed at once. One where you do racing and one where you do cruising and have cruising related mods.

about passengers; what ^ said. Make a custom view, move it to the passenger side. Press tab until you're in the car of the friend you want to watch. You can also activated mouse XY panning so you can look around using the mouse.

About the more tracks part. You think going on the forum and asking for more tracks is going to get you more tracks when you haven't even payed for the game? If you want more stuff, buy the game. You're lucky to even have a demo version to play on. You should be greatful.

edit: Oh and with better graphics comes more nutheads. Just saying.

Quote from Speed Senna :needing show a middle finger in Sim?

I don't know about that but a function to transform the car into a big robot that can fly in space would be a nice feature. Anyone agree?

Edit: This topic is too far off track already though xD So I think we can assume that putting children into the racing cars is a bad idea. Next.

Interesting. I can imagine AI after AI roll over after the second jump on the blackwood rally cross piling up on the grass

All though, I agree. This would be a cool feature which would force drivers to be more carefull when blasting over the jumps landing sideways at full speed.

Only if you could launch the kids out the front windscreen when crashing. Then I would back this one up completely!

I don't want the gear shiftings to have a delay of 350 ms though

Wait wha? I still don't get it.

I think it's a good idea. Make the strobes orange and suddenly it won't be cruise related unless people who want to use it in cruising purposes get some blue/red DDS files for it. It's not unrealistic for a racing simulator and it shouldn't be too complicated to add either. Also add some admin controll over the function so that not a bunch of people drive around with strobe lights on the roof :P

+1 to nordschleife
+1 to hillclimb

However, save these suggestions for when S3 is released.

Quote from Mr_Lonely :we dont need that animation live,

but it would be great if it could be in replays..

cuz the only time u really need that kind of animations is in movies for the realism..

True. Then the whole problem about the moving the hand to shifter delay will be fixed too.

Quote from Flame CZE :But what about when I would like to change gear while idling or at e.g. 2000 RPM and I will be changing gears very quickly. That won't work.

Agree. And how about downshifts, how would those be predicted? I mean come on, you have your own set of hands with real life super-graphics right in front of you. Why would you need a second set inside of the monitor? If the actual shifting is going to be delayed then that would suck so bad. If you're adding such an effect, at least make the actual shifting instant and let the animation lag behind.

Aww, this sucks. He was one of my "favorite" jackasses. However, he passed away with quite some style.

Just get the "Universal Rev bouncer"
It works awesomely for that type of fuel cut limiter

For the ignition cut limiters, maybe LFS should get backfires first. Would be a good first step.

Or some kind of app that reduce the throttle once the desired speed is achieved. Or yea, you simply don't put the pedal to the metal.

I would like this to be implemented but as an optional setting. In real the head's got a built in "view stabilizer". Try looking at something while rolling your head. You'll still always experience the vertical axis of your environment as the vertical axis of your view. That's why I think it's a good thing.

On the other hand, I do like it when my steering wheel and all my other gear is synced and leveled with the in game car. So I'd say; add it but make it optional.

Quote from reineh :Did we just get a new clutch/engine model?
Suddenly I have much better/realistic throttle respons on idle and low revs. And the clutch doesn't overheat so easely.

Really great feel!!!

... or aren't we allowed to talk about that here

I feel it too Clutch isn't so snappy anymore. I can launch the XRT without hearing tire screeching All these new objects are awesome too. Thanks a lot for this patch!

Might already have been suggested but remove the blockades between the autocross, skidpad and maybe also to the dragstrip. The incomplete second autocross with the go-kart track could get useful too.

Maybe also removing the barriers blocking off the hidden wip south city road?

Edit: in the X configurations of course.

I agree with DrBen here.

According to Rockinghams website. The inner track should have a width of roughly 11 meters. Give me something with 3-5 meters of width please. Make something narrow and technical. Make a track where the GTR class is excluded from the consideration and that focuses on the road cars / open wheelers.
