Very little bug, but maybe can cause problems with spr upload on lfsworld:

lfsworld - s2 hotlaps - hotlap charts - south city combo list

It has normal and reverse combos, and all rev combos are written that way:

name rev

except the last one, that is written like that

chicane_rev

Shouldn't it be chicane rev without underscore?

I'm in!

Hey guys, IRT is Italian Racing Team, and we are in LFS since 2003.
Check lfsworld team list, you will see that IRT tag is already in use by us.

You should use another tag

Tyres / clutch cool down even if the car is out of physics

out of physics?
What does it mean?

http://nations.tm-exchange.com/

For "promoting" the use of AutoX (and others) custom layouts it would be really usefull an official site done like tm-exchange that would allow direct download, images, comments and hotlap submitting of LFS custom layouts. Imho

Quote from tristancliffe :

Scawen has probably defined the real car's setup camber as +-0 in LFS. You alter it by small increments over the base setup.

It should not be in that way, for being simulative 0 degree on real car should be 0 degree on lfs car

@Scawen:

I think there is something strange with cambers on FBMW:

for obtaining a small negative "real camber" u have to set a quite high positive "setup camber".

I don't know if this is a wanted thing or not, so is better to check it if is all ok.


In old versions of lfs the differences between real and setup cambers were not so big.

I like the way they are now in X30 and never want them back

Those pics are of some months ago, just found on HD

2 wheels:



1 turn later




no wheels at all (car on the left)

A realistic fov is about 65 degree
Try it and you will notice good object proportion in game.
I use it at 1024x768 (no widescreen)

I agree too, but shouldn't this topic stay into the "improvement suggestions" forum?

I agree with the use of forced cockpit view, people should not drive from the hood

Just a little problem:

The competition will start on Sunday 8 July at 14.00 UTC.

There will still be F1 silverstone gp at that time

They did pitlane park in Rome some weeks ago and LFS was here too.

It was with a sort of motion platform, but the wheel mounted on it, G25, didn't had force feedback activated, and was set up very bad, with unlinear steering and german language.

Track was As grand prix and car was obviously bf1


There was rfactor as well, into another stand.

Quote from Hoellsen :

No disrespect to our participating teams, but out of what hat are we supposed to pull more teams on the level of tHUNder, Cyber, SK, pod, Mercury, 1st, #low and n!faculty? There has been a severe drop off from the top of the field before and I seriously doubt with the increase of teams in the grid that this drop off will be less severe. I'd rather have a second class with another set of competitive teams competing for their championship than folks being not able to run at the same speed as the leaders and thus losing the fun in racing.

(disclaimer: this was a statement from a driver's point of view, not an admin's).

Hi all , it is a bit of time that i am lurking that forum because we as team are evalutating to eventually join moe this or next (after lfs gt) year.

From my point of view, i would prefer single class racing, because it's true that there is only one winner and only a bunch of really fast teams seems to have some chances of win races, but that's why i want to compete against them, not for trying to win a secondary race done for people that noone think would be able to keep up with fastest team's speed.

The real challenge will always be GT1, so if we have to train for months for getting ready for an endurance race at least we want to have the opportunity to race where the real challenge is. And we will arrive 1th, 10th, 20th, 30th or last, who cares, at least we will not blame ourselves for not having tried the big one

Yeah, i don't know if it is a bug, but if you hit the space between curb and sidewalk it cause damage to the suspension.

I'm training on so long with fv8 for a league race and i have the same problem

Quote from evans :

Westhill has long straights, which allows the tyres to cool down alot
Anyway, I guess I was wrong about the lap count then - that doesn't really matter though. What I was trying to point out was the difference in tyre wear between the BF1 and the FO8, not how many laps you should do in your average race.

Remember that you can't take as example short races of 5 laps and "hotlap aimed" sets:
For having some proofs of that theory you should do at least 2 3 stints of about 1 hour on 2 3 different tracks with both cars and a well developed setup. (and for having a realistic result avoid locked differential sets)

I have no experience of long BF1 races so i don't know how much tyres would last, but it can differ a lot depending on setup, track and driving style.
You should test before saying that, imho.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Though I think this rather shows the shortcomings of the current tyre/wear model. I don't think the softest available compound for a car should last entire races, yet alone without losing performance once they're worn out. And once we get different track temperatures, we might one day even see R4s getting used

It depends on track temperature.

With the actual track temperature (unknown value) R2 is the softer usable r3 the harder usable (r4 is useless)

When we will have temperature changes we will use different compounds, i dont see why R2 should not last one hour in real life in certain tracks, on F1 races too they have one compound softer and one harder, and until 2006 they could choose to race with the softer for the entire race distance.

Obviously you have to take care of your tyres, you cant drift into corners and hope to finish the race...

Can you add reaction times at green light into the exported stats file?

Quote from hiroshima guy :

FE Rallycross doesn't have a lake or pond!

After that someone will surely post something like:
"and how do you know tHaT? OMFRTG! A CRACKZOR!"

Quote from Forbin :

Give me a break... I've done a full 30 lap race at WE1 in the BF1 on a single set of R2's. I've also done a 32 lap race at WE1R in the FO8 on a single set of R2's. If you can't get R2's to last, you're doing something very wrong.

Lol, was posting the same!

Wednesday i have done for the italian championship a 38 laps race ad WE1 with Fv8 and i did it with R2 tyres (and 90% of other racers too), and those run very well, probably i could have done about 10 laps more with the same set too without problems. (and we were not going slow, fastest lap on race was 1.21.13, and the polesitter during qualifications with hotlaps took WR...).

So you have something really wrong in your setup

These should be at the end of the pit lane too, with blu lights for cars approaching and red and green light respectively before and during the session.

+1 to both them, but this has been suggested lot of times before

I think that for leagues that suggestion would be awesome:

i already know leagues that in GTR2 requires, with the choose of a car, the choose of a tyre manifacturer too (and to stick with it too), and the same car with 2 different tyres has different advantages-disadvantages

so +1

I remember clearly from F1 montecarlo 2006 GP that one of the Italian tv commentators, the one that usually speaks about technical things, said that F3 cars had faster top speeds at apexes then F1 cars.

So to me fv8 speed through the corners does not seems that wrong, taking into account that F3 cars are lighter then F3000/F. Renault 3.5 cars like the Fv8.
