And yes its a farking good model, but not accurate to the 2006 BMW Sauber for obvious reasons.

What do you mean it's not accurate?

Or do you just mean it's a low-res game model?

I never went by WRs much anyway, i would say 50% of them would be useless over more than 1 lap.

But i get his point, people will start trying to cheat WRs knowing they will be reset soon.


EDIT: that isnt a recent picture, its accurate to the preview version of the BMW...but they have added all the aero nik naks to it....more recent picture for you.....

Obviously they can only use what BMW gave them, and they wouldn't want thier new spec aero for all to see in a game.

I know very little about 3D modelling and i could see that, lower polys for in game use as i understand it.

What reasons ?? If they didn't have some sort of arrangement with BMW to create this then they certianly wouldn't texture it to look like a BMW

The BMW badge is a bit of a giveaway

Like i said up there ^^ it won't include the type of bodywork you see in the races, because they modelled it on the first version of it....so compared to the latest BMW Sauber that render is out of date by months.

People want real cars and then moan that they're not perfect. Strikes me as a brilliant reason to have made up cars in LFS - they way they are always perfect and up to date.

True. But still, good enough. Most people are not going to notice the difference anyway.

I think it would be virtually impossible to keep up the in-game model with the real thing considering they are constantly updating the real one.

I am glad it is BMW-Sauber. They are my team

I'm said it's an Intel sponsored car...

I am not moaning, I was making a point about how much data BMW Sauber would offer them for use in the game.

On the plus side at least the V8's won't blow up in your face on the last lap like Honda's do

I did notice that there happens to be an extra control arm in the LFS version compared to the real thing.

Geez. Finally back after a few days of no internet only to see LFS go crazy :nut:

F1 cars get new aero parts for almost every race because the requirements are little different. Unless you want Eric to make 18 slightly different F1 cars...

I'm happy with the "current" one. Looks like the real thing as far you can see from just one render lol

EDIT: adding some small differences between some "aero packs" would be a kewl addon but in the end it's more like a gimmick.

The sponsership of Intel and O2 will cause LFS to gain 'n even bigger marketshare of the simracing genre. I'am wondering if the money earned will be converted into a couple licensed real cars..

watch a lap of the F1 car.

Now that there is a f1 car comming to LFS you would think there would be a option for traction control for the f1 car. But if there is traction control for all cars it will spoil it so much. The F08 is a handfull on its own without traction control can you think of a f1 car without it?

Anyone has any idea what platform is JV driving on in that vid? A private simulator owned by an F1 team? I want it!

As far as I can see he uses a DFP - so I think it is a PS2 or maybe a PC. But since I don't know the game that he is driving, I can't say for sure.

Why is it that eveyone wines about the FO8, it is not a hard car to handle, but spend some time with it, it is an easy car to master, even for a mouser like myself.
