Quote from FEANOR :

Ever heard an F1 or a V8Supercar in pit lane. They sound like rubbish because they keep the throttle flat to the deck and to compinsate the engine management unit makes the egine miss so they splutter along pitlane and its no beacuse their at low rev either.

You can still use that kind of rev limiter even if you have electric throttle control. I'd even think using a limiter that cuts fuel and/or spark would be more accurate than throttle limiting. Anyways, my point was that the way the limiter is done in LFS, using a limiter wouldn't result in snap / crackle / pop in real life either.

F1 cars are not allowed to use throttle-by-wire. They MUST have a mechanical connection to the throttle bodies.

Also, I've found that if you do a burnout up to the limiter... sometimes it doesnt catch in time and you get screwed also. =\

Can you explain better? I've done burnouts, and sat on the grid on the limiter a few (many) times in my S2 Career, and the limiter has always caught the revs for me. Always. Not once has it failed.

Well, since I mainly race FO8... Thats what car I was driving. In the pit, with the limiter on.. I've overcome the limiter more than once while doing a burnout.
