Speccing an other car probably.
I have seen this behavior also.


other thing:

In CTRA, during trackchange, /o setup is possible.

In those screens, the field to choose your combo and set pops away in a few seconds, you have to be really fast.

It is usefull to quickly grab a set for combo's you don't have setup yet, so maybe you can take a look at it in future

Beste hr. Puts,

Dit vind ik prima!

U kunt het niet weten, maar wanneer u er dan Dhr. ipv Mevr. Not****ns van maakt in het archief, dan kloppen de gegevens wel!

Vriendelijke groet,

I even enjoyed the 350z last part of the vid.

Seems like the wheel adds a lot indeed, in comparision with controller.

Some friends of mine are GT5 players to the bone. Really experienced.

I sat them down in my little sim with live for speed. Really, not 1 decent lap. The best proof imho.

Otherway around, you are amazed how faultless you drive GT5 when used to lfs ... really it is feeling booring, too much grip


(always with wheel...!)

when I start searching Shift-P after I got into the bushes with my car .. :/

True. Maybe they pick up at 160. Still, if the engine/flywheel is still going round, it wil not drop dead without external force.

Exept formula 1 cars

Quote from NightShift :The world is choke full of things that shouldn't do things we don't expect, but frankly, a petrol car revving happily a long at 200 RPM is not one of them.

I'm certainly not Gordon Murray, but I've seen and driven a few cars and none of them could do that.

Since you appear to believe otherwise, I'd kindly invite you to post proof of what you're saying.

I didn't say it will stay turning at that level, I just mean to say that it will pick up again to 800+ rpm.

It can be pushed down to 80 and still pick up. Don't keep it at 80 it'll stall ofcourse.

That is what I mean I have a graph somewhere from my lessons with minimum engine-revvs related to air temperature, that is where I get this from.

For engine drop, my real-life engines take 3 seconds to drop from 7000 at ignition cut.

An engine gets started by starter at around 80 rpm. So it shouldn't stall at 200

Well if you get a snickers before takeoff you'll not get hungry, it's not a long flight I guess....

Or, what did you want to say?

Hmm, if you leave Oslo with Ryanair, you pay NOK 240 at 26th of june in evening. Stay for the 27th to have phun. Then leave at 15:00h at 28th of june for NOK 320 with ryanair You arrive in Weeze Airport in Germany, that's at German-Dutch border. For instance, I could pick you up.

That's a total of 560 NOK or 60 Euro's for flight total
Maybe add some 100 NOK for payment etc but usually it is cheap.

And for the nights, start Couchsurfing

Quote from Vito-[SLO] :I don't agree with this completely. Most would have max power and min weight...
But, what if it would be posible to slide torque to higher at lower revs/lower at higher revs (less power, more torque/more power, less torque)?
I hope you understand what I mean.

P.S.: Why are "all" off you against tuning? You don't know how it would be implemented in LFS by devs... Good implemented tuning isn't that bad.

It is not simulation anymore.

Real raceteams don't just 'slide their torque'.

Why should LFS have it? I think it is stupid to do that.

Quote from XCNuse :your kidding right? in life???? you must be mad, the FIA or anyone would NEVER allow that, thats an endangerment to race driver's lives?!

Fun to read this
Now.

Wake up, we already have power and weight sliders.

Just installed PilFius to overcome those problems but allright, that's offtopic

Pressing the accelerator does not raise RPM's.

The turbo-spooling simulation is not taking into account whether engine is running, it looks like it is just a RPM * THROTTLEPOSITION simulation, instead of RPM * DELIVERED TORQUE simulation (which would come a bit closer to real )

Well, that's some thinking, but it sucks air from that turbo too. Since there is no new source of energy (like, burning fuel), the turbo will not spin faster. But, you are partly right: the turbo can be spinning. I really mean it different

So I will state it otherwise:

When out of fuel, applying throttle still generates boost (tested when rolling) That's impossible.

I wanted to point out this bug back then:

When out of fuel, applying throttle still spins the turbo (tested when rolling) That's impossible.

Is there taken knowledge of this?
Selectable tire change and amound of (max) wear

First of all, well, i read about posting of this improvement before, but serious, never found it... I also did not notice it in 'the suggestions list', but I know there must be people mentioned it.

Also, what problem I have?

The <10 >90% tire wear thing. I can't use it, and even lost some races trough it. I often JUSt want my front tires to be changed. So I have to gamble what setting I should take. Resulting in having to pit twice, when I set it too low so I had no tire changed.

I have a long race coming up now, and have a lot of trouble with my LF tire. I need to change it before 40 laps, the other tires will last. Having to change them all is not best option, and having the risk of changing none also is not. For now, I'll live with it But hope to see the possibility descriped now in future:

Also, there are some options to solve it:

1)
First, show maximum tirewear in percentages. Not the amount of blue/green thread or weakest flat spot.
why not? Real racers don't have this luxury, they don't know exact how bad they tires are. So we shoudn't too

2)
Just add the option what wheel should be changed. So I can say change LF and RF or LR and LF whatever.

When a topic exists, please point me to that direction/discussion. Then, sorry for double post.

Is LFS simulating wheelspeed or only torque-transportation ?

Quote from obsolum :Boy, you really don't know George, do you? Who do you think that is in his avatar? And - don't take this personally - but I dare say that he's a bit more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff than you are

SOrry, i did not notice I guess his answer would be 'yes, I have driven a race car', my excuses for that.

Though, you don't know me and what I do either. I like sharing knowledge! And the discussion of change of feeling in brakepedal

Yes and no. I had once that I thought 1 one gone (I heard one snap) and saw there were 2 (which I didn't feel at once), but you WILL feel difference if they are attached. You don't need to remove the leather, just push your hand on the back, you feel the elastics, they are perfectly divided.

At the back, low, there is this velcro to fix it. Just loosen that, and you can pull it upwards. It's quite tight, but you can remove and re-use it and it will be as new, so that's good designed.
