Cleanup : off topic or no longer needed posts from Dx test patch
@Scawen!
Can suggestion? please increase to 1.5 or 2.0 Limit multiplier will good handling better corner for Bike/Bicycle Keyboard user!
1.0 and 1.2 too weak grip corner when too speed. :/
Nice an unexpected
While at it, may we have something like on zeperfs.com website :
* a small graph showing these ratio with speed against rpm and three lines showing max torque rpm, max power rpm and redline ?
* a power and torque curve displayed next engine specs ?
In my opinion, the best thing to do for now is to leave Scawen to do his work and not to suggest random things that would slow down his proccess of doing his stuff with tyre physics.
Also, the second pic ( Dyno / power/torque curve ) u can see in LFS Editor.
random would mean not related if I am correct ? while this patch gives :
And seeing the dyno curve in another tool ... well, it is another tool, the purpose is to see it in the "game" !
Of course if I totally agree with you that there are far more important topic for Scawen, but :
* he was on the gear ratio thing (and it is a great update to me even if it looks like a tiny little thing), so my "request" (let's be honest, it is not a request, just a suggestion) is just to have a display making the thing even more user friendly
* the power-torque curve is alreday coded, so maybe it may not a huge deal to implement
According to my observations, engine damage widget works well for cars, but not works for bikes, i tried money shifting in many bikes and damage gauge was still at %100 percent, and the another bug that i found is the tire temperature bug: in online when you are spectating any other user, the f9 panel not shows the value of tire heat in numbers (don't know if it's requested by some people and exists by purpose). I'm putting a pic to here about it.
It does work with bikes but it depends which. I did a quick test driving max speed and shifting into 1st gear: The RZM 250 and the RZT 370 can get eng damage, while the Chimera X1 and Vulcan 998 are harder to over-rev. I guess its how the eng is set up?
The tyre temp not showing when spectating I think its intentional and not a bug. Its been like that for a long time if not forever
Competitive e-racing, so you can't observe how the other racer is going exactly, including tire temperature, fuel load, clutch temperature, setup values, etc..
is it worth considering the possible repair of engine during a race that had suffer from overreving ? Changing the whole engine, why not ... but if you have to change tappets, spring for the valves, etc ... looks like complex and even more time consumming than doing an engine swap !
I would more expect to see like rik97 is saying an option on/off to repair it or not.
But anyway, from a gaming experience perspective, maybe a different approach is to be considered
I'm not really getting my message across very well.
I tried to explain in the previous post. I'm not stopping here to do complicated things. I'm still trying to finish the development version so we can release the long awaited version with the new graphics and physics.
I've offered a simple feature here, to fix engine damage along with the minor damage and major damage. It is not to be considered that I will do anything more complicated, because that isn't going to happen.
Ok, one thing bugs me. Why just two values (6/12s)? The double time penalty if you go slightly overboard is bit unfair.
Why not make it damage dempendent? Sort of "timeInPits = percentBroken * penaltyRate + minimalTime"
That's just because I've been able to code this very simply and quickly by using the existing MINOR and MAJOR versions of DAMAGE.
I am finding it quite hard to explain, that these updates are just some quick things I can do by devoting a small part of my day's work to this while actually spending a lot more time working on the massively updated development version, that has been described many times in progress reports. My focus has to be over there, finishing that version so we can release it, rather than putting much time into this public version update.
Programming is harder than most people think. It's not like, as easy to code something as it is to conceive of it.
EDIT: remember it's a multiplayer system with packets flying around with data in them, etc. I'm not free to simply add things on a whim and hope everything stays in sync. And again, I'm only doing things that are very easy to do, so as not to take up loads of my time.
So, lets recap what happened recently.
You decided the development version is at maximum priority and nothing else would be discussed or added, that was 1 month ago.
ONE, MONTH, AGO.
Scawen, I cannot even begin to express how, after many years waiting, you are stretching our guts with this constant changing mind about literally anything.
We, the users, literally don't know anything about what needs to be done to the tire physics.
What is done? What is missing? Precisely, how much longer do you need?
1) A week
2) A month
3) A year
Please, now it is your turn to answer a question.
I keep updating your forum's post, but lately I am cringing so much I have to stop for my own mental health.
The last dev update was delivered almost one month ago.
Engine repair is completely and utterly a useless distraction at this point, I really feel you cannot make the promise you did at us and keep adding small things that could be easily added 15 years ago or in a 15 years from now.
About the multi-threading develpment, you told us really a lot even including images to let understand us the process.. but now? From march to may 2022 and now we know nothing about tires.
While I like the indipendent free development, without commercial or marketing big corps awaiting with their strick deadlines, I wish at the same time the LFS team would be made of more than actually 1 person.
Out of here, there is a new world trend about sim racing: e-Sports arrived, home-setups are incredibile and more affordable - that is an incredible period for sim racing and LFS is hyped in many Youtube videos as still one if not the best driving-feeling racing sim in the world.
You cannot do all forum, all the simulation, all the interface, all the sound, all the editors, all the documentation..
For the love of every Gods existing, please hire someone and organize a better working schedule, this path I see is going nowhere.
It is much different from 2003: the next big update will only bring us to 2013ish.
I kindly remind you that DirectX 11 were released on October 27th, 2009.
Best,
From a 20 year long LFS user and fan.
Actually, there is one more screen where this is the case and thats the main entry screen. Typically you dont have a lot of chat messages when you start the game but if you do, they overlap with the upcoming events. Thought that might be worth mentioning
Fur future reference, simply "we've had quite a few negative comments about the arrows" would do. I'm doing a hell of a lot here so don't really need my face rubbed in it.
Otherwise it's just irritating. People saying the arrow colours are "stupid" when the reality is that the person saying it is too stupid to know the reason for the arrows.
random would mean not related if I am correct ? while this patch gives :
