What about if the engine of the car is off - (if possible) make wheels harder to spin... Make mouse a lot slower... And on keyboard - make it turn slower also. Would be kinda funny imo...
Oh and.... for wheels I guess it won't be possible(would've been really cool if it was.. or if it is ) but for mouse and keyboard - Make it so when u press brake button it brakes slower?

I actually got this idea from today... Turned my engine off... And I still had some distance to pass down the street to park the car(was trying to save fuel from 5 meters distance I guess ).... I actually forgot this turns off the hydraulics too... All of a sudden it became so hard to steer and brake...

2nd suggestion: When you press the clutch and release the gas.. Or turn to neutral - The revs go down too slow atm... Maybe make it go faster?

And 3rd(more like a reminder of a suggestion): When the car is left there with engine on - Don't turn it off after X seconds... Let people waste their fuel if they want to.

I'll add a poll for the lazy ones too.

FYI the last thing you mentioned is there to stop that person's engine from being in the physics calculations, making the game faster

Hehe, had no idea.

This is a simple function of engine inertia and engine braking (i.e. torque curve at closed throttle). If you think it's too slow, then one of those two parameters is off. The latter is harder to calculate (or at least, I don't know how to do it!) but I've not noticed this being particularly off.

That would be only true if the cars have power steering. Which they don't have, by the feel of the force-feedback.
Concerning the braking: if your braking assistant is off, it doesn't mean you're braking slower, it just means you need to apply more pressure to achieve the same stopping distance.
Actually, that would also be true for the steering, as the car would just steer as fast (as in how much the wheels rotate per how much you turn the wheel), you just need more force.

This is an incredibly stupid thing to do. Thak god you didn't pull the key, or else the steering lock would've caused you a lot of trouble.

No

Actually I stalled recently pulling into a car park to answer my phone, but I didn't notice the lack of engine noise at first, just the fact that I couldn't steer. Not a problem for me anymore though, as since then somebody has tried to steal my car and snapped it off. Too dumb or lazy to bypass the immobiliser though, so I got to keep the car. I got to push and kick my door back into shape too, which the cock had bent open to gain access rather than smash the window and draw unwanted attention. :|

I know that you need more force.... But how would you put this force in LFS? That's why I said imitation and not simulation...

And even if I did pull the key(even tho I believe that I'm not that stupid), as soon as I felt the wheel lock I'd hit the brakes, don't you think? But let me give you some more information: I know I said 5 meters, but if I have to be exact it was like 1 or 2 meters, it was around 06:30am, the street I was going to enter was one way and I had stopped, so a friend could get off the car and go call 1 other guy, where I actually stopped the engine... The wheel was already turned and the car was leaned forward, so all I had to do is release the brakes, let the wheel straighten on it's own while the car is going forward, and then slightly change the direction so I could park.
Now..... I think judging so fast, without really knowing all the facts is not the smartest thing to do too. I just didn't feel like I had to explain the whole situation in a thread about a suggestion, but after you seemed to care...
And just one more thing: Maybe you would say it's stupid to drive at 06:30am... Well I will just say that I still had my reasons.

Don't forget to add if the ignition is off but the engine is still rotating, everything works fine!
If you are in my VW then you can just plain shut the engine off in neutral without having any problems But if you shut the engine off in my Porsche good luck steering, it has hard enough steering when it is running.
Just have to decide which cars in LFS have power steering or power brakes.

After driving a car without power steering or assisted brakes, you get used to it. Parking with a 10" wheel and no power steering on 12x6's is still a bitch though
