Would it be possible (it is, sure...) to have exhaust flames when downshifting? And these sparks when the car's hitting the ground look soo great, so can't lfs cars produce some of them, too? Or are the made of plastic?

this has been suggested so many times....sure it would be nice to have... but eye-candy comes when the physics are finished, which can take some time.
btw: lfs' cars are made of polygons - don't know if they can cause sparks

okay, didn't see a thread like this before. So I suggest not to respond here anymore so that it moves to the end of the list of threads.

never knew they used dead parrots for car construction

(sorry school boy joke which proves im going senile (or is it sealion?) as its 25 years since i left school)

The best move by the devs is to get physics done first and leave most of the eye candy till last which I'm sure there plan is.

It's a waste of time doing it now considering by S3 people will be moaning for DX11 graphics ...

LMFAO!

depend on which car you want the exhaust flames on I don't see a XFG doing that... (1 more reason 2 buy LFS :-))

Sparks should be fairly easy to implement. They wouldnt tax the graphics or cpu and they have no bearing on performance.

And huge LOL @ the dead parrot thing. Sounds like one of my grandads jokes

That's what I thought about... maybe we could see some burning exhausts in the next patch... *anxious*

i thought the glitzy effect were coming in S3?

says who

lol everything anyone says about S3 is just rumor or a guess, because no one (not even the devs) know what will be in S3 yet

We know its going to have a graphical update. God err i mean Scawen told us

that's wht I remember Scawen saying!

rofl thats what i said last time until i couldnt find him say that anywhere when i said he said something haha

As a rule of thumb we could use the amount of people "clearly remembering Scawen saying so"... I'd say 4 would do it... In fact, I remember Scawen or Victor saying back in the pre-S1 days that development would go something like this:

S1 - Basic simulator done. Physics and graphics engines in place but not nearly finished. Game engine working and playable.

S2 - Physics engine finetuned, racing rules and classes defined. (maybe a rally stage patch during the S3 development).

S3 - Physics engine update with more variables (like weather), Eyecandy implemented (including backfires), Sound engine finalized.


S3+ - Updates to the LFS engines, possibly modding tools released.

S3 - Greatest game

okay well.. find me some proof lol

Can we search the RSC archives? Because most likely it's in there.

sparks flying around.. i dont like that.. i like backfires a lot and what even is better is: mirrors that can fall off, bumpers, blown tires.. and that they stay on the track until the race is over.. so you can damage your car driving over it.. TADAAA..

This sounds really promising
And i like it.

But thats not realistic. IRL, the marshalls remove them from the track.

and these parts could cause sparks, too...

edit: umm... that would require them to be made of metal, what they are not iirc...

i'm SURE in S3 they'll have marshalls that run onto the track and then you can catch them off guard and smack em and watch their ragdoll body go flying...
*wakes up*
i want S3 hehe

ya.. its not like RSC has been shut down or anything lol

Oh yes, thats really something to want in S3...illepall
