Hello, I couldn't find the mods request thread, I don't know if it has been deleted or moved. Just really simple request, could anyone make the Lotus E20? I would love for it to have a detailed steering wheel, thank you

Quote from rane_nbg :

Tnx for putting this together. I support suggestions 1 and 3.

Why not 8th gear? Would be really effective to increase the transmission. As well as open wheelers it can also be used for semis, which have a very large transmission

I disagree with the last points though, because you're essentially asking to turn LFS into an f1 game, at that point just buy the game, LFS is a simulator which can currently be used for all kinds of things, so it would be smarter to focus improvements on all aspects, that could also bait a larger community to play

please refer to previous posts, many times this has been suggested and currently the main focus is the next 2 major overhaul updates. With that noted, yes sounds can be improved, however if you take a look at the addons thread, there is a lot of engine sounds that you are able to download and load them on any vehicle through Shift + A in game,(If you wish to use it on default vehicles, they must be labeled as their name tag e.g. "BF1_[choice]")
The vehicles that have turbos installed, can be used to play around with the sound, and the dump valve of the turbo can make it sound like backfire, this is done by loading customized sound waves on each audio wave. other ways can offer a "hybrid sound" or a very rough sound. Air intake can be changed to make the car sound supercharged. There are a lot of ways sound can be customized

If interested, I have many sound files I am happy to share and provide instructions on how to load each sound wave on to the game, so feel free to send a message

Just a quick question, as you all know, after some time, some mods disappear off the mod list, however in the LFS folder called "mods" all past mods including all past versions are available. In this particular case I was looking at an amazing mod that sadly was removed called Super GP, (I am not aware if it is the devs, a system, or the author taking the mods down) and I went into the folder and immediately found it. My question is, is it possible to somehow restore it to LFS? only for single-player use, I currently save mods for offline use through the "save grid", that way it automatically stores the car that can be used offline instead of downloading it again and again.
Thank you

Hello fellow racers
Like I've said before I am really curious to see the new updates for graphics overhaul, physics and new tracks, and I feel like I am a little repetitive, if so please do say so and I will settle down until they come out
However my main question directed to the developers, will there be any test patches for the new updates? Or separate ones for each type of update?? Would love to hear more as well as the new tracks, really excited for the airport one, seems like a classic racetrack from a while back like Silverstone. And the older classis cars in LFS are perfect for a race there. Thank you

I recently went on the forum to check out new activities and was upset because of some particular threads that had disrespectful and hate comments towards the developers regarding development on the updates.

Guys keep in mind that this game is two decades old, made by only three developers (that truly care about the platform unlike some other platforms that are made only for profit) and somehow this amazing game is still holding up to current games (except graphics which I know some major changes are on the way ).

I also noticed that many of the comments were made by Demo racers, who seem frustrated for the lack of content available, WELL MAYBE you should accept the fact that our Devs need some support for their amazing work which still developing.
Do not expect updates as fast as the F1 games that have a large staff that updated yearly. Remember <<<3 DEVELOPERS>>>
Some of you also criticize the devs because you believe not much development is occurring because of lack of posts and news, however you should roam the forum and website a bit and you may find a lot of work behind the scenes.

SO... REMEMBER.... to respect our beloved devs

AS you all know, our beloved three LFS developers have been hard at work created the new graphics and night overhaul and the physics model

So, my question is, what is the next goal?
Now I am not rushing, instead I am appreciating every part of the fact that this game is still being updated after 20 years . (although I think everyone can agree that it would be great to have some extra news on the coming overhauls, like just a few posts or even just screenshots .

This is just a general questions for the developers to answer and for the community to react to:
Will it be dynamic weather (Rain, snow, water dynamics)? Custom map modding (terrain paint would be a great addition and vegetation)? better online support? Big (or small) changes to the damage model? New licensed vehicles or circuits?
Or maybe you want to settle down and work on something simpler

Thank you

What kind of team are you are you looking for: Race
Country: Residence = Australia, Born = Italy
Preferred Car/Track FBM/Grippy GT cars/Aston National
How active are you? Daily (often unable to do league events because of time zone)
What kind of control do you use: Mouse (soon steering wheel) good steering and grippy cars precision overall but bad drifting and inconsistent on faster cars
Time Zone: GMT+10

Hi, simple suggestion

have separate button control rate for clutch, brake and accelerator, this can really help mouse and keyboard users
thank you

Hi, just wanted to ask, is there a forum where you can upload or download sound waves? I've recently been getting into sound editing and it is amazing, sound waves can basically customise every part of the car's sound structure which can make some pretty cool sound . Essentially that's why I suggested in the suggestion forum add a way to share sounds a bit like "SS" or share setup. Thank you

Hello fellow racers
today I am suggesting something that I would love to have, as you all know you are not allowed to edit published vehicle mods without permission. However, I also know that some of us may want to change particular details of some mods, so my suggestion is to be able to fully edit and customise mods any way we want however they are only available in single player. Now this is a very complicated topic and I know it is unlikely for this to happen and files may be sent to other players and stuff, but essentially the only thing that is stopping full mods customisation is that when you try to edit and mod and save it, you need some dds files (i don't know much about files system or the editor) which you are unable to get other than from the publisher themselves. So that is my suggestion. I know it is very complicated and prob will not happen, but I hope something similar will be available in the future.
thank you

I think that we can all agree... PLEASE DEVS we NEEEEED 8th gear and even larger transmission. This will absolutely change openwheel racing, hypercars, and trucks.
SURELY there is a way to add attachable/detachable trailers, that could change truck driving in cruise servers.
This one I would love to have. When I use a custom sound (Shift+A -> load) It would be great if it would show up with that sound file for others. And if we like each others' sound, we can always download it.
REV LIMITER. PLEASE, I dont think it's particularly difficult (again im not dev so idk) to add rev limiter sound, that can be adjusted like other sounds in Shift+A
This one might be controversial, but as a mouse player I am limited to to high powered cars. IK if TC were to be mandatory it would be problematic for league and multiplayer racing, but what if TC was always available in single player?

Edit: I reckon it’s also not too complicated to add a cruise control for cruise servers and mouse players
Thank you for your time

I just recently found out that people have private mods, and I was lucky enough to try a few, of which I found amazing. Such as a new openwheeler and a porsche 918. I was just wondering if there is anyone with mods they would like to share, please say in this thread. thank you

I think I speak for many fellow LFS users here. Quick appraisal for our mod developers for making such great mods. I noticed that mods are becoming more and more detailed and I would like to thank everyone for making great models. Thanks

Sorry for the confusion, but as I understand the AI have been updated to all vehicles? during test patch 0.7D48 the AI were more aggressive, had more special awareness and didn't struggle as much on faster cars. Today I tried again racing with the AI (on 0.7E) and it seemed the retraced their steps a bit, especially when racing faster vehicles. Is this a bug, intentional or just me being bad at racing? thank you

Hello fellow LFS racers I have an idea which i think the devs could take into consideration. I don't believe it is complicated to do (although I am not sure). I am proposing to increase damage to suspensions on open wheel cars, as even brushing the wall with too much speed can cause branches to collapse, for example Leclerc at monaco at the swimming pool section. the damage model doesn't need to be changed, just increased so that the driver will struggle to drive.
Thank you

Yes, fellow racers I know we are already able to customise horns and (I’m not sure) other sounds. What I’m suggesting is that mod developers may have the ability to customise sounds within the game and cars. For example indicator clicking sound, startup beep, reverse gear sensor beep, when turning indicators on (the click of the lever also used for headlights)

Also unrelated, but the ability to turn on windshield wipers

Thank you for your work developers 😁👍

as a person who loves downloading skins for mods, (and someone who sucks at making them) I was surprised to see that there are no skins for prototype 2, is there another location of where to get them or do they not exist? if so i would love for someone to make them

Yes, as a person who enjoys racing the AIs, this would be a great addition, however only creating a racing line for custom tracks wouldnt be enough. Things such as track borders would have to be defined for the AI to randomly not hit it.

Thank you

hello racers, as i know many of us are ecstatic to see the new update, i have spent many hours going through the screenshots and graphics report and happy to say it is an impressive improvement. However since then there have been no further updates. Devs we would love to see even just a few screenshots.

thank you

I need help, i downloaded Pact Assistant, and I did everything in the instructions (i use mouse & keyboard) and videos. I appear to have followed every step but nothing functions other than automatic lights (which just flicker)
I need some help figuring it out
I also use 0.7D46

is it possible to have rev limiter?

there is a problem with mine, idk if its my laptop or the files. I followed all the steps also in the video. changed the controls file, /insim 29999, ive done everything but the only thing that works is light assist. hide mouse wont even work. please help ;-;

WOW!!! As a person who enjoys racing AIs as I am not always connected to Wi-FI, the new test patches have had considerable Ai updates, and they are really noticeable. they get pushed off track much less now, there is clean racing as they actually leave space and dont back out as soon as you're beside them, and also dont have wild off track moments when they crash.

Thanks devs, great patches
