Quote from atledreier :It should, because the parameters that generate the torque curve is completely arbitrary and not based on any physical attribute of the engine. There are three parameters that affect the torquecurve, regardless of turbo and other settings. The turbo settings are then added to the curve.

Play around with LFS-tweak, you'll see how the values work.

I play with tweak since S1, I know what you can change, and I know that the turbo just add power, just like if you add power with NA, the only difference is that with turbo it make less power while it's charging, as I alreadly said, and this is not realistic

sorry for it being alrealdy discussed, but nobody had put graphics i think... Moderator can merge topics?

Quote from atledreier :With LFS-tweak you can have pretty much any turbo response you want. It can take a little tweaking, but you can have anything from tiny insta-spool turbos to massive spools-in-a-week compressors.

the major problem with turbos as I see it is that they never run out of flow, so no matter how fast the turbo is, it won't be restrictive.

you can have a slow or fast turbo lag, but if you turn of turbo, and just add more "Power (per cilinder)" till you get the same power of the turbo, you'll get the same power graphic, but without the turbo lag, and it should't be like this

I expected two graphics totally different, I always heard that turbo add lots of torque, and it appears to be true, for example:

Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 16v has 144hp and 18,9kgfm of torque...

Mercedes C180 1.6 16v Turbo has 156hp and 23,5kgfm of torque...


as you can see, even with lower displacement, and just 12hp more, it has much more torque
Turbo simulation?

I'm not any expert on this subject, but I think there is something really wrong with the turbo simulation of LFS...

for example, look at the graphic of power and torque of the original XRT:



now compare to a NA XRT, with power raised to the same that it had when was turbo:



as you can see, the only thing the turbo does, is "cut" the power while it's "charging" (is this the right word for this?)

i'm almost sure that one turbo engine and one NA engine should have totally diferent graphic of power and torque

Quote from Si Mclaren :So you guys want to say that im awesome and can be a new WR holder if i get a better PC?

I never had any problem driving with <16 FPS, so the problem is not about the FPS... Also, just to remember: Movies, both on cinemas or Youtube, are just 24 FPS...

Any difference over this CAN'T BE NOTICED BY NAKED EYES...

actually you can see...

I uploaded this video some years ago, it was saved 60fps, and you can see it's smoother than other videos, one guy even commented there "such a high framerate", and got thumbs up

Please share more layouts!

And the new version :P


After some hours getting used to it... and trying to understand how it works, and when somethings works (like altitude and stuff) I made a little straight :P





As you can see, I was still gaining speed (0.05G pushing forward), and I had some more straight.... but one frame after this, my car just pass throught the ramps and fall...

During there hours, I noticed that the ramps lose "contact" when you get too far from the track, and you can't put the ramps higher if you are too close, so I tried to do something in the middle of too far, and too close, and this is what I got :P

really nice, but try to use SHIFT + F ingame, anti alianising, and some high res textures too

I tested the "ctrl esc" and it didn't froze, so I tested alt tab, shift F4, and it's magically perfect now, 0,1sec to alt tab, maximize, minimize, fullscreen, windowed...

dunno if it has something about the "ctrl esc", or it fixed itself during the night... but thanks anyway!
ALT TAB Freezes Game

It started about a week ago, every time I do "alt tab" on LFS, even if it's windowed, the game freezes for 5-10 seconds, if press Shift F4 (maximize) if also freezes for about the same time...

I tought it could be a problem with my LFS instalation, so I downloaded a fresh LFS and installed it, it happens exacly the same thing, I remembered that I have a LFS S1 on my HD, so I tested it, and saame thing...

I alreadly changed my graphics driver, with a fresh instalation too, and it didn't help...

I tried to do the same thing on other games, like Dirt3, Driver:SF, Borderlands, etc, and I can ALT+TAB normally, windowed or full screen, but on any instalation of LFS, even S1, it freezes for about 5-10 secs...


what could be causing this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can use it multiplayer, but everyone on the server must be with slickmod on

Finally i'm back from the 3 month ban...

Well, don't know why so many people are complaning about the driving on dirt3, of course it's not a simulator, but it's not bad, not even close to be as bad as NFS carbon, NFS undercover, etc...

If you use the correct settings, you can have lot's of fun even with 900 degrees as you can see in my video:

No... the RAC is in LFS since 2005, and the F1 were just released in 2006

other things that would be nice to implement, is expansion by temperature, because as we all know, gas expands with higher temperatures...


and, expansion by "rolling", my english is a little bad, so i can't explain it with words, so I'll explain with images and videos:

Because of the year, BMW is 6 years older, and to maintain a car like a M3 in here, is just too hard, any part that you need to change, will be extremelly expensive, trust me, the price is so right that you just couldn't imagine...









this is a car that cost R$40,000.00, or £14,336.00 here in brasil, it's almost the same price of a 2005 M3 in UK...

and it has a 3 cilinders 1.3 engine with 108hp, the interior is just hard and noisy plastic, it's just awful!

well, here in brazil the situation is even worse...

for example:

Lancer 2010 in UK = £22,995.00

Lancer 2010 in Brazil = R$ 173,695.00, that is +-
£62,256.00 (yes, almost 3x the price)



BMW M3 2005 in UK =
£15,995.00
BMW M3 2004 in Brazil = R$ 128,533.00 that is +-
£46,069.00 (more close to 3x the price, and one year older!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsvXsee-ZP0 this is a game from 2002, and it have night, working lights, reflection of the lights on the track, depth of field, visual backfire and sparks, etc...

(sorry for bad quality, it was recorded with an old camera, in a 21" 640x480 CRT screen, but imagine this game in 1920x1080!)
