P.S: i just forget to say that some of the most fun and exciting races that i have done in lfs were in servers with very low number of people with 1 or more wr holders on it, and none of us crashed on others at T1. On the opposite, all raced very clean, so really i dont see your point on this argument.

I agree with the fact that pause should invalidate the single lap that it is running in the moment the game has been paused, but absolutely disagree about the uselessness of hotlaps.

Imho are very usefull, i have pratically learned the racing tecniques watching hotlaps, and LFS is the only simulator that allowed me to improve in that way.

In other communities, like GTR2 or rfactor ones, all replays and setups are kept like secrets, and it's really hard to improve without having some visual example.

Another usefull things hotlaps do is saying you a very good time to which refers for knowing how much are you going fast.

Knowing WR time in a certain track allow you to understand if you are running around the track only sufficiently well (within 1,5 sec from wr), good (within 1 sec) or very good (within 0.5 sec).

Imho obviously

How to appear on banners on LFS forum?

For about 2/3 weeks there is finally a new site for the Italian LFS Championship ( www.cilfs.org ), and we would like to add a banner to that LFS community like the ones that are on the upper right side of the forum.

How to add a banner there?

Nice render, however i dont think that all the people that use 3ds max have spent money for it...

It's an interesting idea but i hope that you will use "elasticized" type of shirts.
I have seen lot of times shirts from games and seemed quite all a bit too much nerdy because stayed too wide on people wearing these.

It have to be cool if you want them to be used, imho.


P.S: i know that you now are making plain simple shirts, but imho shirt that would be very nice should be based (and designed on the entire surface) from some of these nice LFS race screenshots edited on photoshop like the one in the forum section, the ones that capture better the idea of speed

Quote from -M- :I'm sure
That race was from September 25th and he posted the link first in our forum

Ok, maybe i have had some luck and during a search for lfs videos i saw that before the "official" release

However im sure that i have watched it on october

Are you sure that this video is yours?

I have already seen it on youtube 3 weeks ago!
Better Damper Settings

I know (and other games like GTR or rfactor show that thing too) that on racing cars, dampers can be modified with different settings for fast and slow bumps and rebounds, and with packers too.

These things seems missing onto lfs.
Why don't add them?

A banger race is a race where people can wreck eachother without violating rules?

It have to be a possibility of doing that, not an obligation on doing only that.
Said in that way people can't say no

However is strange the fact that he did a roll on himself.

He touched the curb and that made the car starting the roll or is possible on regular tarmac to during a 180 slide to do something like that?

Quote from tristancliffe :Not 'hands down' the best, no.

We don't have day/night cycles. YET
We don't have brake temperature modelling. YET
We don't have a decent aero simulation for all eventualities. YET
We don't have the best damage system (overall). YET
We don't have the best transmission/clutch simulation. YET
We don't have the most immersive sound (I don't use CSR). YET
We don't have the best interiors. YET

Apart from the long list of stuff we DO have over other sims, the most appealing bit is the repeating YETs. It's an ongoing thing (a WIP), and that's what REALLY appeals to me. Rfactor might get a patch of 'fixes' every 6 months. GTR has no support whatsoever. nK's patches are next to useless (although they have a similar list of stuff to do, starting with 'Make it Work in the first place').

No, LFS isn't hands down the best sim. But it is the best overall, and is going to get better.

You couldn't explain it better

Quote from boosterfire :I don't think LFS will ever have NASCAR style vehicule. I mean... we all agree that what is in the game is there only because developpers mean it to be there, and I don't think Scawen wants LFS to get into nascar. After all, we're talking about a game where most of the cars are not real.

And anyway, there are tons of functions still to implent to make a respectable nascar race. Without rolling start, don't even think about it. Just stay with nascar games.

Why do you think that Scawen doesn't want nascar?
Where he said that?

And yes, almost cars are not real, but are ispirated by real cars, and because nascar cars are real one, an ispirated car to these is a realistic possibility

Quote from Woz :There are a few car types that need to be added to LFS to expand the global userbase

LFS needs a Nascar style car and also an Aussie V8 style car to help the global expansion. V8s down here are the main race type, that and sprint cars.

Aussie V8 imho is not needed because is only another type of RWD touring car racing. Nascar is different, is a completely different type of racing from the ones actually in lfs, so it would be interesting.

Quote from michaelnyden :they put that game on sega dreamcast, so I can play it all day long at home in front of my tv...game was WAY ahead of its time in terms of realism of physics, and sound/graphics...!

There is a version for ps2 too (with some more track), and obviously there are DC emulators...

Quote from amp88 :That's as I understand it too, but you've just brought up another good point. How difficult would it be for a full field to form up on the grid hatchings in the right positions? Or what about the scenario of someone pitting at the end of the warmup/formation lap? They could leave the pit and start racing before the lights go out, in theory.

Ever seen an f1 race when a car pitted after warm up lap?

They can start from pit, after green light.

However the suggestion about rolling start is right too (on kyoto oval)

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :i also cant imagine for what races it should be used.
5 lappers? 1 round warmup for a 5 lap race? lol
long races like 20-30 laps? no....ppl are happy when they can drive one lap more before they have to pit.
IMO with current physics simulation the tires heat up a lil too fast (it feels like that) so id say thats an S3 thing

That's a server admin's problem imho
