Sounds awesome, Europe getting it in 2 days

Quote from jasonmatthews :

I would think red is better, as you are turning much less, so losing more speed. Why not try setting up a autocross track with this corner, then seeing what is quicker. I just drive what feels right, no idea which line I would take on a real track

But less does not mean smoother.. You always take the widest turn possible.

Solution - Don't Crash and get stuck.

Since the MRT is a real life car, I think its good that it hasn't got a reverse gear, like the real car.

In real life, you wouldn't press 'I' on a keyboard to start the car. Maybe we need to start the cars in LFS with the mouse from now on, flipping a few switches and then starting it.

Also, how the hell does the gas get filled on the car? Maybe we should have to buy the gas first, then measure it off and fill it in. I think this is a good idea, like the real car.

I could continue for several pages.. What about not allowing people to drive with a keyboard, or not allowing wheels to turn with an unrealistic amount of degrees.

PS. Just messing with you.. It's the same argument tho

Clearly, from the bottom the blue line is better. With the red line, in most cars you won't be able to accelerate before you're going completely straight because of the sudden sharp turning. Blue is a LOT more smooth.

From bottom, blue is better. You will probably enter a tiny bit slower, but it will allow you a better entry = better speed.

From the top, the red line is good.

This whole thread is the reason the devs rarely post news! God damn if you people can't stop complaining, it's better simply writing nothing!

Go ahead then?

I'm sorry that sarcasm doesn't work very well on the internet. I did try to make it clear that it was a mocking sarcastic comment

This is really cool.
As already mentioned though, it's a bit (okay, very) hard to distinguish colors.

How was this accomplished?

Yes something like this exactly It's just a minor annoyance, but I will compare it to turning on your vehicle in nKpro.. Too much realism in a game makes it ridiculous.

Quote from CSU1 :

...IRL are you allowed to exit your cart and move it so as to get 'unstuck'?

1) It's not a kart.

2) Yeah.

Just something I've been annoyed with recently: If you get stuck somewhere in the MRT, there's no way out except pitting.

In real life, you would be able to get out and turn the vehicle around, but since this isn't an option in LFS, we need a compromise - either by adding a reverse gear, or a special reset feature just for this vehicle.. I know it's not realistic, but this is a game and we need the compromises. Otherwise, I might as well play netKar

Woo, anyone up for some night racing in Scirocco?

Quick photoshop job Oh yes, we need this

We really need this. But it's also been suggested, you REALLY cannot believe you were the first to think this idea

Just keep practicing, the good drivers did many, many more KM's than you did!

User mods will not be able to maintain the high level of quality. And the developers wish to work on this game alone.

Oh god I just wish for the Scirocco even more now. We are getting one next week and I can't wait for either version to arrive! Not trying to whine :b

This is planned and coming..

Everyone should be using 7600, it's the RTM build. Gonna try it next week

Oh damn that is actually quite amazing.. I'm very excited about that game, but I still wish LFS would do it. After all, LFS rarely disappoints.
The physics explained on their blog is sooo detailed, I will be quite impressed if they squeeze a reasonable amount of fps out. They even calculate fuel enthalpy using molecular weights of everything... Damn!

All kart sims I have tried sucks. My only hope is in LFS, actually.
BRKart for rFactor might be the very worst. Awful engine simulation and way too much grip on all tyres..

Quote from the very end :

i demand some mantits, or i'll be so angry i'll expload :gnasher:

(. Y .)

Seriously though, we need FE2 back. Some reverse tracks would be nice (pick some for me kthx.)

We need to have fe2 back! And a few additional tracks would be nice too.

Quote from dev :

uphill or downhill doesn't really matter...

Well of course it doesn't, you can just go reverse and it will go the other way?
+1 for a mountain road. With time trial races The way togue is done (or what I have seen) is 1v1, where 1 person starts behind on the uphill, and the other person then starts behind on the downhill. The fastest time with both ways added together wins

Quote from marzman :

Maybe you should read your own post what i reacted on. You were talking about modeling, not how it rides

You have misunderstood the modelling part By modelling, he meant the physics.

It has already been explained why it's faster.. Slipstreaming on the straight makes a lot of difference in some cars, less in others (like XFG/XRG).
Also, hotlaps are checked with HLVC, which makes cutting corners practically impossible in valid laps.
