I'm here with you guys. Now that 7B is out, I gave it a little bit and checked if LFS Lazy for 7B is out I'll wait patiently.

This is impressive. I'm excited to see where this goes over time!

Awesome work! The options given will make for nice variety

Quote from Eclipsed :

How is that a problem? I also rent 2 paid servers and what I'm paying for is practically comfort - the servers are always online and everyone can join them when they want (they're purpose servers for organized events) and I don't have to be online all the time to keep server online,while the free server is basically a temporary server,where you can meet with friends and race together. Or host some semi-spontanious events. So if the devs can keep the whole network alive with income from the paid servers,then I don't see the reason to ban free servers - not allowing the chance to have free servers would affect online activity and might have big impact on racers base in future.
LFS is not a huge profit commercial project like iRacing - LFS devs already have shown they're not doing this to get very rich,but for the passion of creating the best racing sim they can while earning living with it.

Very well said. This is clearly not a problem at all. If anything, OP should be thanking LFS Devs for the option to create free temporary servers to have fun in.

Thank you everyone for rating, giving feedback, and lending a helping hand here and there. This mod is now officially an approved LFS mod! Also, since my mod is now approved I felt compelled to improve all of the setups. All of the setups now have major improvements in overall driving feel. Super happy with them, but I would still love feedback on my new setups to make them even better. Cheers!

Quote from Evolution_R :

About the left/right driver position gauges and textures, check how the RB4 GT is done - the gauges are as attachment.

Yeah check out what VladM had to say, he's been helping me with the gauges. I didn't know this would be an issue early on as I am a new modder, so I just created the whole interior as a subobject and went along with my work in the early stages. This will take quite a bit of a headache to get sorted out so what I have now is definitely viable after the main fix, just not perfectly mirrored.

I fixed all of the messed up gauges and buttons when the mirror happens for right hand drivers. Thank you to the right hand drivers for letting me know It's not perfect because the right hand drive speedo and tacho swap places and the battery/oil temp look a little funny, but those fixes will require quite a bit of figuring out unfortunately. I did fix the fuel/water temp gauges on the top so they work as they should in the right hand drive too. So this will be good enough until then! Much better now.

Quote from Desaparecido :

This mod is incredibly well made.

The realistic v10 noise, the handling, absolute joy to drive.

Good job.

I appreciate the notice! I have paid very close attention to the details to really make sure it becomes a quality mod and close to the real thing.

Quote from P V L :

Hello, I really like this car. But this new speedo looks overloaded to me, showing both KMH and MPH.

Could it be just one of those ? Even only MPH would be better than both in my opinion, saying this

as a person used to KMH. Thanks for this nice mod, have a nice time. P V L

Thank you for the feedback PVL. I will note this and keep it in mind.

I'd like to give a special thank you to VladM for making me custom ADDA 8-R gauges and helping me out by making the blueprint on how to make custom gauges. Here they are, I just finished them up!

While I am here I'd like to share that I've made new 3 new configurations in addition to the default config.
- No Plates (removes rear license plate)
- Track Spec (adds track spec bodykit. All parts are used from other stock LFS vehicles)
- Track Plate (Track spec configuration with license plate for street driving and cruising)

I have provided a screenshot of the new Track Spec configuration as well.

Quote from Daniel564 :

Handles really well, beautifully designed, engine note is near spot on.

Only suggestion is to fix up the trackday set, tyres too soft affecting its acceleration and not enough camber for a trackday feel. Unless that got looked after already then I got nothing else to add

Looking foward for more of your mods

Hey thank you very much! I didn’t touch the track day setup after I changed up the weight distribution and weight of the car so I need to get on that. I’ll maybe poke at that tonight if I have time. The Daily setup is current though.

Quote from batya123 :

Can you make the real dashboard as this foto?

I made the gauge cluster close to how it is in the real first generation. Because the model is off the first generation, I wanted to keep it more realistic in it’s time.

Quote from Filsoof :

Very well made.
Are you planning on adding skin template?

Yes, I will be adding a skin template!

Working on the steering wheel!

Quote from iiiiil :

maybe paddle shift gearbox fits this car better? idk about sequential, it's weird.
anyway, thanks for mod

I do like how the paddle shifter transmission feels better as well. I have been thinking about switching it and I think I just might now that you said something.

I have updated the headlight and tail light glass to be more transparent so you can actually see the lights now. I have also changed the light brightness accordingly.

I am excited to announce that I have figured out my buggy gauges/interior. Drivers can now choose their position on the left or right side of the car!

Added in the 7 speed sequential transmission. Credits to this guy for the exact gear ratios to real life.

**ANNOUNCEMENT**

This mod is going public again already. I made the new double wishbone suspension close to the real car. It feels MUCH better and my testers have said it has much better force feedback on wheels.

Quote from Kilo46 :

There seems to be a bit of an issue with the steering or something setup related, for wheel users like myself the force feedback is inverted so the car tries its hardest to pull the wheel away from center. other than that it looks and sounds amazing

I was informed! I am currently re-working the suspension completely and made it double wishbone like the real car.

I am making this car private until I can smooth out the feel of the car before my reviews tank too much.

Quote from martin18 :

Hey this is supposed to have double wishbone all around, that might have to do with suspension feel

Yes it is, I have made the double wishbones. I am working out some details right now.

Quote from Octosquad :

SICK! but make it sequential paddle shift and the brakes should be a little better because I tried slowing down and it barely does

Overall looking good so far !

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I am definitely thinking about making it the 7 speed sequential because you are the third person to say something about it. I thought people would have liked the 6 speed h-shifter version better so I was a bit wrong there. This is exactly why it's a work in progress!

And yes, I will be working on the general feel of the car a lot because I am not quite happy with it atm. Good enough for a public release but still feels a bit lousy. So a lot of things will change with suspension, setups, brakes, etc.

**//TODO**

- I have yet to fix the "choosing a driver side" (clocks are getting messed up so I am figure that out)
- I am thinking of maybe doing the 7 speed sequential transmission.

Quote from Jake_Blasted :

Ayy glad to see is finally public! Looks good!

From the man, the myth, the legend himself, thank you! I'm new to this modelling game so it's quite interesting and I am learning a lot all the time.

Quote from martin18 :

Wow this sounds pretty realistic! Just a tad bit too loud for LFS but wow I’m amazed how realistic you got it! Great job!

Thank you! I have been making engine sounds for years so I know my way around the Shift+A UI. Yeah it is a bit loud which I did quiet it slightly and still maybe quiet it more.
