SuperChargers...Yes i Said it
Okay...for the non-forced induction cars...why not have a supercharger sound on em? not for all of them jus for the FZs and UF and XG GTR...i mean that would sound nice...the beautiful whine of a S/c Flying down the strip lol...just an idea

Rice factor = huge

Why have a sound that's not real? If the car had a s/c then the sound would be there but it doesn't so it's not.
Superchargerd cars, why not
supercharger sound in cars with no supercharger = :riceboy:
what i meant to say..why not add em? change the specs of the car a lil..not a lot..its just a suggestion...or even something for S3
Adding forced induction to normally aspirated cars is quite a big change, so I don't think 'a lil' covers it. Not as big as a turbo admittedly (being crank driven and all) but still...

Change is almost same as turbo, imo.
Pressure is increased and all good and bad things comes with that, it does not matter much how it is increased. Crank pulley is needed vs oil lines in turbo, mounting of supercharger vs exhaust manifold in turbo etc.

Adding supercharger to game, well what else it would require than sound and increased engine power actually, there is not much more that it adds?
Supercharging is cool, lag free, adds power, adds scream.

Variety is always a plus.
Quote from blaze-WrX :UF and XG GTR..

theres only so much horsepower you can put through a FWD car before it gets ridiculus wheelspin. the XFR and UFR already have enough power.
hmmm,
in S3 maybe?
something of 5.5 liters supercharged would be nice

I'd love a supercharged engine in LFS. I'm not to fond of turbos, although for some reason the XRR is my favourite car. I reckon a supercharged small bore hatch But then I am a G40 fanboy....

Yep I am a fan of s-chargers, no so much turbos due to the lag.

But asking for the sound without effect. I have to ask, are you the sort of person that adds a fake dump value sound to a non turbo car just for the sound?

Hey EeekiE

Its Neil from the pitstop forum, small world
..LFS needs a muscle car first

Quote from EeekiE :Cool I didn't know you played!
I have a ClubPolo S2 server, but nobody from there seems to every play it, so I might turn it into the PSD server. I'll be on there later if you're interested.

I only got S2 recently, I did have the demo in the past but only with the mouse. I had a dfp a few years for gran turismo but have only recently got a computer desk that I can clamp it to, that was the main reason I finally got S2.

Yeah I'm up for a run, I'm not particularly fast yet.

That was fun, as you can see I need to get a bit of practice in.

i see some people agree with it...and the others are calling meh a ricerillepall ..first off why call me a ricer for suggesting something this.....as u can see...many of us LFS players dont like turbo lag...and wanna try something new for a change..thats it...
You suggested the NA cars to have a supercharger SOUND (while not having one), rather the implementation of superchargers itself, that's why some are calling you ricer (which I couldn't agree more, how on earth did you got the idea for that?)...

I often thought why there isn't a supercharger in LfS, but come to think of it, there just isn't a car in LfS that would fit the installation of a supercharger (most like TC, but that's another thread)... So, it's fine with me should there be a supercharged car in the future in LfS, but I don't think this is an issue that needs to be adressed in the near future...
Supercharged hatchback with loads of torque-steer would be ace.

Infact, there's an improvement suggestion for you. A torque steer effect on FWD cars! Torque steer is fun
I'd like to see a muscle car in LFS, something along the line of the Roush Mustang (spelling?) seen on Clarksons 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' DVD would be cool! It's supercharged and puts out about 500hp. Because it is heavy and not so much of a handler (it looses a race against an Elise), it could be competitive in the LRF class...
Superchargers in LFS would be a good addition, it's not a priority atm and if they're going to be added they need to be modeled properly and wouldn't be in place on any of the current LFS field. Maybe some new cars could be suitable for them, but generally the only current forms of motorsport where they have any use involves driving in a straight line...
Superchargers would add some to the game, and would be cool on the proper cars. Personally, I prefer turbos, because 1: Many superchargers disallow use of an intercooler by design, and 2: The superchargers talked about in 1 don't take kindly to high RPM applications commonly found in hot hatches and other 4 bangers, unless you want to have nothing but top end power.
Superchargers would be nice addition, i like them both SC and TC, new turbos dont have or almost dont have that lag so much anymore.

That's hardly N/A. I'm not callign real superchargers, its the N/A car supercharger/blow off noise brigade thats rice.
