40
i know its been asked but seems like never heard please make 40 cars grid instead of 32, we have good net connections and pile ups will happen ant u with ur low end pcs will have 1fps but that doesnt matter
40 is a magic number...

Would be rather pointless for public racing since clean-ish racing is hard to get with more than 25-30 cars on track at a time. On the other hand this could be pretty much interresting for league racing, especially for multi-class endurance leagues.

Cruisers would be happy too, I guess. And NDR would be able to have a 33 cars Kyoto 500

Orly? I'd rather have a 69 or a 1337 cars grid then

Quote from Heiko1 :
Maybe add an Pool so that ppl can decide

A poll would be absolutely pointless, it's up to the devs to decide since they are the only one to judge of the feasability of this. Of course almost everyone want the grids as big as possible if it is technically possible, it's a bit like asking "would you want more cars/tracks?"
Why not make it 47 max? that could give the possibility to have 43 cars for ex. nascar style racing, and for league racing, have a safety car and a few rescue cars.
Agree.
42 / 43 cars would be mighty fun

or.....now this is just an idea. maybe join a server that isn't full?
It's much more fun with big fields
Make 47 maximum.. and Fe1
Make 47 max, because its boring to see members always saying "Shift+S=Noss!!! Im a noob!!!" "Press ALT+F4 for Turbo!"
I think 128 is better... Then we all can be together in one server driving 34 different classes.

I think the cruise servers will benefit from this as well. Maybe the first LFS traffic jam could occur!

Imagine the carnage. I'd get drunk on a nightly basis just to watch that crap.

... Then someone lags a bit. LFS turns into a bowling sim!

That said, more drivers on track=more players lagging out of the server=more telepitting lags. As we can imagine that telepitting would be used a lot more than currently(more cars on track=more incidents per car also), this'd be quite annoying.

1 im not talking about full servers and being unable to join im talking about bigger grid...
2 stop being smart asses theres tyre physics forum for that

You ^

And you ^ Just made me die of laughter, 128 cars?, Now THAT'S carnage, And the sad thing is.. My computer could run that, But hell, Make one server, Let demo users and S2/s1 users join in there classes and we'll have 200 laps at the ring'

Guaranteed your drink will end up from the cup/glass/can onto your LCD/CRT/Widescreen, Magically!!!
LMAO!!! I'd probably lag as hell because my 945G can't handle even 20 cars :ices_rofl
Over 9000 grid


Or think if there is about 120 cars...then you set up from FE2 rockhill with 200km/h

then you get TCP: FATAL ERROR CONN
In theory +1. Large scale rather pointless tbh. Even with a 30 car grid (and 7 admins and 8 commentators) people time out.

Actually, we would increase the number of safety cars to 3 and rescue cars 5.

Yes, so basically the "improvements suggestions" section is made so people can suggest as many random features as possible without even caring or taking account of the feasability of the whole thing?

correct me if i am wrong but it doesnt matter if u are on the track or not u still lag and we have 47 slots and people will crash if its 40 cars grid or 10
edit: so what u are saying is lets make 8 car grid and there wont be any lag and crashes either that or ur point is useless becouse all that happening with 32 car grid too

Yes.

Which reminds me, I'd like to propose topless grid girls in LFS.

1) More chances for big T1 wrecks
2) Less fps for a big part of the players
3) More chances for heavy lags
4) Makes it harder for telepitting since the server would be more laggy, and more people would be spamming the telepitting commands which wouldn't help at all.

5) /reinit chance rising by 40%
At least cap the servers at 32, not giving away spectator slots. Easy, but working solution. For spectating, use LFSRemote.

Servers owners are free to cap this on their own after all.
Just make all servers with the same layouts and cars join.
You will have a 200 player race.
Nice.

Or better, race on a 200 player server on AS Grand Prix.
