Quote from AndroidXP :

Okay, it would help the 'explosions' but it wouldn't fix them. Just upping the Hz rate would be the backwards brute force method of solving problems. It would be much better if Scawen found other means to fix this, like a backtracking code and sanity check, which should have a far smaller impact on performance than quadrupling the physics rate.

And what do you mean by "improve the faster cars behaviour"? What kind of improvement? Aren't 2000Hz tyre physics enough?

not sure if the 2k tyre phisics is 'real' (ie a timer interupt running a 2k) it may be, but even so its the overall physics rate that matters (the one hitting the springs and dampers) ie a vehicle traveling at 300 kph, the 100hz engine will 'sample' every 83 cm but to accuratly sample you need 2.5 times what your sampling so therefore 2m is the minimum 'bump' length.

Im not a phisics person but have worked in the reatime software/hardware industy before, so thats is where im baseing my info from.

BTW i think netkar is 500hz, iracing is also going to be high and wasnt gpl at 273?

This isnt a critasism of the current system (it is what it is) but upping the rate may also allow simulating other things aswell (flex maybe?) i cirtainly wouldnt say upping the rate is a crude way to solve problems, it only brings benifits (with the exception of system performance)

BTW i also agree on the 'backtraking and sanity checking' but in addition to uping the rate

Quote from Hankstar :

Less theads about S3

I agree.

S3 will have what the bosses put in it, they will try and put as many things as we want in it.
I'm not getting to excited about S3 yet...simply because LFS has been going for nearly 7 years and we have only had 2 "S" updates, so...theatricaly we should have it an S3 update in atleast 2010.

But, I would like...

Rain.
Engine Damge.
Mechanical Retirements.


P.S You may get flamed suggesting Monster Trucks and Real Cars/Tracks.

ND

1) Deployable oil slicks and smoke screens...
a la James Brown...or James Bond - I always get those two confused.

2) Secret tunnels - preferably with which to by-pass turn one.

3) Driver access to the shops at South City, especially the Casinos.

4) A landscape delightfully free of monster trucks, nascar trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, skateboards,lawnmowers, volkswagon beetles, etc etc.

All of the above OR 15 new tracks with 12 configurations each.

LOL :elefant:


Increased damage model and 3d sounds would be great, tweaks to the physics to include different tyres. Dynamic weather.

Flycantbird's first couple of ideas sound a lot like Spy Hunter on the Spectrum

Spa 67
Jerez 92
Ring 67
Isle of Man
Bathurst
Laguna 74
Mosport
Rouen
Spa 92
Monaco 92
Suzuka

MP4/5

People to stop posting things that won't happen because of bloody licencing.

Oh yes ... less Vince Lombardi mentality on public servers.

Whats that supposed to mean?

Quote from ethan520 :

What do you want to see for S3?

S2+1.


Seriously, S2 isn't finished yet, and S3 will take a LONG time...
+ there are many 'what do you want for S3' threads...

ROFL

*pictures Bond doing a flaming shoe shuffle with a toothy grin "Gonna Gitcha, huh, HA... Gonna git that bad guy HARD HUH HA"

(Anyone who's ever seen James Brown should know WTH I am talking about)

an endless track for testing highspeed on cars

I think the main ones are:

More improvements to the already incredible physics
Different weather
Night driving
Cars able to stall/false starts

Quote :

South City fully opened up

Tell her to buy Test Drive Unlimited for open, realistic driving. I know I am.

Sound when you drive over a kerb.

:P

Dynamic Day/Night change.
Dynamic Weather change.
Couple of new tracks and cars.

dunno whot else - depends on what we ll get in S2 final.

I dunno an interactive car stereo for the road cars and TBOs.
Racing versions of the RB-4, RAC and the LX.
If the game really needs new cars, then ones for Rally and the Drag Strip.
A wheel program similar to bespoke (Wow could LFS simulate the effects of high speed driving on wire spoked rims?)
A working train for S.City - and debris like empty cans and fluttering news paper pages
a half-pipe/ quarter-pipe or a bowl.
Yeah a pit crew, but where they could be skinnable to look like Storm troopers, playboy bunnies or the characters from the wizard of oz
And of course, Flaming Trash Cans

Dynamic Day/Night change.
Dynamic Weather change.
Some nice cars and Nürburgring.

wouldnt Nurburgring be too long
it took me 9 minutes to get around it with an enzo in another gameillepall

Well I'm 34 now, I am sure I'll be in retirement before S3 comes out.. I say it's too early to think about what is going to be in this "new version" - If it ever comes out at all that is.

better physics (better then best)

:rolleyes:

The only thing i want to see is low system requirements! (It's OK like it is now, imo keep it that way )

When is the release date?

Right after Duke Nukem Forever!

Seriously though there's no reason to say "if ever". All that's been promised is that S2 Final and eventually S3 will someday exist; Acts of God notwithstanding. You've been around long enough that you know what the scoop is, so one can only assume that your original comment was good old fashioned trolling.

It makes liking rFactor more bearable for him

Nascar cup series.... yeah with a nice track with it..... physiks are so good
