Silverstone isn't a modern F1 circuit. It has been used for F1 for a while with practiacly no changes. It's still ran on an abandoned airfield. But i'd still like either one that is simmilar or a track that is more like one that i have described above. And we already have 2 modern racing circuits situated in England - Aston and Blackwood. Westhill may be modernized with a layout or two in the future too.
Fern Bay Black isn't the longest track in LFS anymore, Aston takes it's place. But Black is nicer for GTRs, that's true. Also try SO Long if you haven't, rollercoaster too :> An even scarier one
great track yaamboo! what do you use to design tracks??
since its gonna be hard for the devs to afford a real track licence, what we could do is organize a little contest, each one of us just design a track and post it. then with a simple vote, the community decides which track is gonna appear in our beloved LFS. what do you think? of course the pbm is we cant see elevation on your track yaamboo, whereas a race track has to have elevations issue, do you guys now any simple tool to create race track or add elevation lines on a track like yaamboo's?
Maybe true, but as there are quite many requests for narrow tracks with elevations I think Monaco would be cool because its just like that: narrow with elevations.
I also presonally prefer real world tracks over fictional ones as LFS is a more realistic sim than any other driving game I´ve tried - the very reason (in addition to the excellent online gaming interface) why I selected it
I would really like to see a Touge style track... Long and very narrow track with lots of tight blind corners. If you know Best Motoring International, you know what im on about... The track should be just wide enough for 2 cars to go side by side. It will also be great for some drifting action!
A track like this will require lots of skills to go fast.
Yep, Bathurst or a fake Bathurst like in Forza as someone said previously. Even the Adelaide street circuit would be sweet. I made a mini version up on the autocross editor
i think a modern f1 track like the today ones (bahrain, malaysia, hockenheimring) will be nice...... cause there is no really good track for the bf1 in lfs yet.....
There's a little track that's near me, very hilly, very challenging and I think it would transfer over to LFS really well. The one thing that would be a problem is getting the permission of the group that runs the track, to recreate it for a product that would be sold - I talked to them about making it for GPL and they didn't mind, but for LFS, well...
It's 1.6 miles long, 12 turns and near 100 feet, if not more of elevation change
I don't have much track ideas but car ideas much more but that's not the idea of this topic.
I would like to see new oval track or long long straight for top speed testing. and much more long drag strip would be also nice.
Sprint track and ofrroad terrain / park would be also good. But the most I wanna see very very long track with very fast turns and small and bit bigger bumps. Like Nurburgring.
I'd like to see Bathurst. Love that track. Its sooo technical. Also some hillclimbs. The idea for a long narrow two lane twisty road is great idea, but should be both up and downhill. Going down can be more challenging than going up. Also, more erics maps particularly with a laguna seca corkscrew (but not laguna seca (boring except for the corkscrew).
I'd love to see Nurburgring, and no F1 tracks please. Done them to death.
On the track issue though, I would like to compliment Eric on his artistry. His tracks are brilliantly designed, and would make first class tracks in real life. Well done!!!
My idea for a track is a little different than the ones above.
I'm not suggesting a particular track. Rather, the dev's allowing others to make tracks themselves. Then we can have some real world tracks that aren't made by LFS dev's. Similar to the way GPL works. It's a game that's nearly 10 years old, and still has new tracks, or updates for tracks, coming out regularly. I don't think the Bathurst council, or the mayor of Suzuka is out hunting down the bastards that made their track for GPL and there's more people driving GPL at the moment than LFS.
I don't think we should be able to edit cars. I don't think we want to go down the rFactor route with 50 different mods. But having real world tracks with the cars we have would be a great inclusion to LFS.
IMHO, appart from the wet weather and sound, the only thing this game needs to be near-perfect is real world tracks, and if no money's being made off them, it can only be a good thing
