Try to see it this way: if the new physics change enough the way you need to drive, then you don't get only one new car. You get one new car and 20 revised cars and also tracks need to driven differently. I want this more than new content. New track is new only for a while and without physics update it would be the same driving experience.
Source for that LMP figure? Just curious. I have seen in tv broadcast LMP2 cars pulling 3.5 G (turn 9 at Laguna Seca) but that was also the maximum of the telemetry graphics.
I really appreciate your work Scawen. That is really nice information about what is going on with LFS. I'm very happy with the tyre physics update that is coming. Good luck with further work on it!
Even the same car will lead to different results, the Corvette C6 Z06 was measured between 0.97 and 1.03, so not all skidpans are the same, and results might vary 6% going by this.. edit GM themselves claim 1.04
Crosses fingers
But as it looks now, it seems the weight of the car is more shown, due to the tweaking of tyre physics / new physics. Will look more realistic, and hopefully feel as realistic as possible.
But then again, I don't drive real life racing so what the **** do I know?
It's good to hear this from one of the devs, this physics update was one of the musts to fix, I hope this won't take much longer, also I'd like to see something new from Eric besided the interiors.
Didn´t he write they are already testing it? But I think he also wrote that there are still a couple of things to do. Should be right, can´t be bothered to read the first post again. :P
overhauling the whole tyre model, the physics heart of lfs, without a word is legendary. its very encouraging to hear that you managed to do it on a project like this without a total re-write too. eager to play spot the difference!
I guess that means alot more now, after everything, new games released, new and groundbreaking features from other simulators. We have GT5 comming very soon, iRacing making a big impact, Forza 3, apparently the new NFS which should be more simulation-happy. The big corps have rushed and tried to over-do it to make the money they want, and did it in short periods of time.
But over here in this world, LFS abuses and takes as much time needed to make something amazing, and never failing, i could say because of its progress speed, LFS really is a much better simulation then any other, from 3 developers.
..and we arnt even in beta stages, for the second phase.
Big congratulations to the Developers, Scawen, Eric, Victor!
Hello Scawen! Very nice news! im thing about lfs Drift ! Maybe you can make Drift Road Tyres?? and that be very easy to drift? like very much oversteer! What you thing? Thank you !
