Hello,

How much is aerodynamics developed in LFS?

I have read that drafting affects downforce and engine cooling. There is also the phenomenon of side drafting.

Thank you,

For LFS, as far as I know from experience, you lose downforce in corners following another car and also gain speed tucked in their tow on the straights. Braking efficiency is reduced when following a car closely. Since LFS doesn't have engine temperature, being in the draft doesn't affect that aspect.

Regarding side drafting, there seems to be no effect, as for now. Whether the physics and aerodymanic model will alter coming the next update will stand to be seen.
