everytime i see a thread named Nos or N2O i have to read it because so many hate it and the ones who want it have a very strong arugment. Me I love NFS i know it may be the most fakest game out there but its fun to play. LFS is a sim meaning that it is next to the real thing so if curuit racing dosent use it dont put it in LFS I agree with Magot All the way.

I agree that circuit racing shouldn't have it, but I believe it's CART or maybe IRL that has the PTP(Push To Pass) button that shoots nitrus into the engine for a power gain to pass someone during a race. Man when will this thread die? illepall

Champ Car has the Push-to-pass button, but it doesn't use nitrous. IIRC it temporarily modifies the electronic engine mapping to increase horspower.

I thought I always heard it as a nitrous system. All it is is system where they cump for fuel into the engine, my mistake =)

someone may argue that the "realistic excuse" it's really poor since real underground races uses nos...i know you are going to say "but it's illegal!"...legal, or not legal it is REAL! moreover about "underground/ricer races": some are illegal, but also many are legal and preformed on real tracks; years ago vallelunga circuit was opened by the loca authority at friday night for "ricer" races.

i do not understand why some guys get angry at some requests, even if and when nos will be implemented, no one forces you to join nos-enabled races.

again about the "realistic" thing: the way lfs races works it's just like ricer races! ...indeed, few people meet in some places where they know there will be others willing to race, they may even talk a bit before and when they are enough they vote for race-start...there is no official competition or title, there is not even spectators so...please, don't say "it's unrealistic" unless you want to admit publicly you are a liar...guess what? nos requests arises from the fact nos addicted car really exists...they not come from comics!

of course you may say "i don't like nos!" and that's a legitimate, honest and respectable opinion.

i'm not whishing for nos so strongly, but if it will implemented, i will enjoy it! back in the S1 days, there was a NOS mod (so unfortunate few people used it to cheat online) and it was fun even if it was totally unrealistic and available only on demo cars...take it easy guys!

I always thought they temporarily increase the maximum boost of the turbo, but feel free to correct me.

guess i could help this thread a bit - forget about nitrous oxigen as a boost aid in LFS. LFS isn't about engine tuning and everything that comes along. LFS is about racer tuning

I chose the words i chose because if there ever comes a time that we'd include some car category that would run on nos, i suppose we'd include nos. But still it wouldn't be used as an artificial aid to give extra power to your car. That's just silly. Why not just have constant nos (yeahyeah engine would fry...) (build a better engine ) (then why not just build a better engine that doesn't require nos) (hey that's what just about every car manufacturer has in mind)

Sorry to say, but nos is just there to accomodate those who are looking for other stuff to do with their car. It's nothing to do with racing and that's what LFS is about. I hope I didn't just offend a lot of people but it's the truth and I should be able to say that

edit - hmm maybe i took this topic a bit too seriously

I always just assumed that to be the case (but secretly harboured fears that I was completely wrong )
It's nice to hear it from the source :up:

Finally =) :bowdown:




:tombstone If thats not a thread killer then I dont know what is

Thread killer or thread nitrous... remains to be seen.

ahh there you have it the Nos mod people used to cheat online with demo cars!
cheat=NoS?
no i would say that NOS is not right for the circuit cars, but a tank of it in the S1 cars might be welcome... this would also iplement turbo PTP buttons for the new Champcar they will make...illepall
If there is a proper drag car(which people will end up using it for circuit racing) then a NOS button would be great, or it could be a handicap, and only available for the non-Circuit race cars (FXO, GTi, Uf1, Xrt, RAC, FZ5 LX's...) because it will work ina straight but no way will these cars handle it in a corner...
so everyone would be happy?

i don't think it would enhance the racing experience any however...

Quote from GT Touring :

I don't think so. If you look at proper dragcars, the we're built to go straight, not around corners. And if it isn't the oval, the circuits have enough corners to make dragcars useless

devs also said that we never would have a real F1, now we have one...
devs are good to make us surprises...

as i said i don't live for nos, but it can add some strategy on races, so is not that evil...

What about nitrous oxide like in GT4 where it's adds power just about noticable but nothing rediculous like Need for Speed*.

*I hate NFS:U with a passion; the way people believe they can drive well because they completed NFS and NOS makes blue flames come from the exhaust. (Normally I'm crap at NFS but woop arse at TOca 3).

of course if nos will be added, it should be as realistic as possible, wich means that when your nos tank is empty, you can refill it at pits and with magic drifts/passes that give you bonus wich can crate nos from nothing...

Yes, but NOS is not used in circuit racing. That is point being made here; LFS is primarily about circuit racing. The drag strips are just a little added bonus. N2O Should not be included in LFS, and as Vic already said, it will not be.

i just tried to bring out the possible good points in having it...i did sorta of devil's advocate ...something that guys who say "plzz gimme some nozzzz!" don't say, i just tried to smooth the discussion wich always end to be a nfsu-guys vs antinfsu-guys, instead of discuss about why we should have, or why we should not have.
cheers

Its hard to play devil's Advocate on this forum. That part always seems to go over people's head. Last time i got called a redneck out of nowhere.

it's a hard job, but sometimes, someone...somewhere has to do it...
the important thing is always to be honest with our own opinions, the rest doesn't matter...

:iagree:

N2O and LFS don't add up but I went to the Estonian Ladaclub(http://www.ladaklubi.ee/foorum/) gathering last weekend and there was a Lada 2105 with N2O tank and seeing it go was cool
Edit: N2O is for real life with real fun

And now here I am posting the very first on-topic comment of the thread:

Yes, good idea, although I think the current install system is easy enough.

Guys, do a search on Google:

but IMHO the current zip file is easy enough

I don't see why everyone is so against ''rice'' cars. they look good to me and they perform well. Take a look at this clip where they drive a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR and a Toyota Supra on track.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaVPaXtgEgg.

Why not have a ''rice'' type class with 2-3 cars? They don't have to be tuneable, and you don't have to be able to put on jumbo-jet wings and badly fitted bodykits..

along with that you could add N2O, this could be available as an option when starting a server so you could simply turn it off. what do ya'll think?

i suggest the autodeletion of any thread/post/whatever that mentions the characters 'N 2 O' in succesion or even proximity.

honestly.
