Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Well yea im not realy going for a removing but more updating it but yes 200m before next corner is a chicane isnt realy usefull but the fact of taking it flat flying over curbs with 160 kph ( fzr ) is more unrealistic

normally you would have no suspension anymore

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Well the dont need to be removed but updated in a way that you can take them in a fast / safe way. and offcourse the corkscrew should stay there but som others Fe-2-3 ky3-3r we1 can get som work maby even last As chicane because its alot of cutting there aswell.

for the we update: lets see what scawen has for us, he said that westhill gets an update soon

but i think the fe3 chicane should be (re)moved, there is no sense to make a chicane 200m before the next corner

Quote from N I K I :

I totally agree with whose post above.
What I'd like to add is that chicanes aren't must on track, lots of tracks doesn't have them at all, and one great example of great track without chicane is Interlagos.
This thread doesn't mean that all chicanes have to be "slow", but it means that like 70% of them should be "slow". For example Aston and Blackwood chicane (the ones before main straight), are pretty fine as they are now, and it's also quite hard to manage them fast, unlike some others. But they aren't "uber" fast, they're just "fast".
So maybe the rule is fast chicane before straight and if chicane is located at end of straight, then it should be slow, to make opportunity to pass.

these two and the corkscrew at as historic/north and cadet should stay as they are! they are legendary

but i agree with rudy, the actual chicanes are too fast and overtaking there is more like suicide than racing.

they should be like the graphic by darkone, only the westhill chicane, both fe chicanes (the chicane in gold can be fully (re)moved) and the kyoto gp chicane off the oval (like the chicane in national) should be updated.

my opinion:
+99999999999999.....

Quote from FlyeThemoon :

if Scirocco has been Realsed for DEMO

I Gonna make this :P

http://www.ibherdesign.com/eb/seat/seat-leon-II-kondor.jpg BACK
http://www.ibherdesign.com/eb/seat/seat-leon-body-kit.jpg FRONT

hop it will only be released to s2 licensed users. demo has enough cars i think

This would be cool

Quote from chavm481 :

thats cool. now theres a time for us to beat when the scirocco comes out

hopefully before duke nukem forever

Quote from Scrabby :

ffs guys, stfu and see what the future brings and be happy with what you get, you bunch of spoiled kids....

words of wisdom !!!!

+1 for this

Quote from Scawen :

I confirm we are making a Scirocco that will be used at the Games Convention.

thx scawen, this is great because i want to buy one next year

can we have a screenshot? it would be really really nice if you can post one

-1

i think there will be one problem: you have to download hundrets of versions from 10 different tracks.
the problem you can see in rFactor and GTR2 just now.

now we need only 5 clicks to go online and race on every server we want.

if scawen releases a track editor (or someone else) we first have to use google for searching the track required by the server....

Quote from J@tko :

Stop smoking?

words of wisdom

these rims are rendered with an external program. they are NOT part of LFS

btw: get patch z and buy the game, you will be surprised how much more fun is in s2

Quote from Scawen :

....So it's better not to have the LFS setting too high....

Agree, my thumb broke due too high FFB settings in LFS so not recommended ^^

Quote from morpha :

Show me a flying, rock hard bale block in real life

agree

Sam, how should i react if someone 10 meters in front of me hits the objects and all flying in front of me? tell me....

Quote from SamH :

Parts of that process are going to be learning hazard awareness and hazard avoidance.

you want hard and fair racing at the limit right? so you have to keep close to your oponent to overtake him and give all to stay in front right?
if there is someone really close in front or back, awareness and hazard avoidance is very hard.

i am not a new racer, i've been 2 years here in LFS and there is only one server with more crashes than redline racing 1: CTRA Race 1!

The Layouts on CTRA are pure nonsense and only a higher risk to crash due someone throws with objects.... please remove them and racing on CTRA would be better. Especially FE2 with the two tyrestacks on the last chicane and the bales in the first are more risk than useful

Quote from tristancliffe :

Aha - Hydrogen fuel cells. Now THAT is a solution (once they can be made, stored and refilled easily, and have a lifetime of more than a month, and a range of more than 500km [and that's for the sporty cars with low fuel ranges. 1000km is more of a minimum] )

the newest gens of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells have a lifetime of several years and they can reach over 1200kms. VW and Opel are making huge tests here in germany. refuelling is no problem: set on the pipeline, choose how many hydrogen you want and your car is refilled in 20 secs

Quote from CasseBent :

Would suck in lfs, 12 hour pitstops

TOTALLY WRONG

whats with battery replacement? it takes about 1 minute to replace the cellpack

and just for knowledge:

an otto motor has an efficiency of about 30% (the rest is unusable heat )
a direct current motor has an efficiency of 85% (servos a bit more)

and one other thing: if you use a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, you can get further because chemical batterys are inefficient energy storages

looks very nice m8, its that what i am searching for!

i will pm you the details via pm, cause our event is not public atm we have to discuss much

i meant with multiple server support: two or three servers at the same time (parallel)

Quote from alexcand :

Hi Scawen! I have a question:
What is the best FOV for a regular 4:3 screen to feel the right sens of speed? For you, the best setting is X, Y, Z at 0 m, and 0°, with 90° FOV?

Thanks

off topic, try 70° (on 4:3 its a good compromiss) and change your seat position to your favour position.... its driver dependant, you will have to find your own settings

Quote from [UKR] Race King :

Here you go

on this image he looks like robert de niro

Quote from aroX123 :

Now it's next week! gimme Z! gimme Z!



Just kidding

agree, but waiting for "when its done" is better

Quote from Scawen :

- Break off wings instead of bending

this is a topic i thought much about... the break off wings etc:
i think all carbon and plastic parts on the cars should be breakable (especially the formula cars should be more breakable; nosecones, suspensions, mirrors...). on the road cars i think there should be the ability to break off the bumper bars and the rest bending like now in patch y. and of course: scattering glass

Quote from The Moose :

Luck? That was a top quality finish in anybody's book

look how the ball spins, it was a wonder that the pill was inside our goal
