The online racing simulator
Quote from silentwarrior :Bikes? Why not ? I am a car fan, but, bike represents some nice horse power with low weight, and this could be alot of fun, specially with a mix of cars and bikes on same race, where a car would overtake a bike on speed but not on acelaration.

This would really make the game alot more fun, plus, with this games tradition of realism it would probably the most realistic moto simulator.

Also, this would work good for city driving servers too.

I can only hope to ever ride Fernbay in a bike.


Also, we need more tracks, tracks with less room at the sides, where the action is more packed, and with nice high speed turns instead of the slow to 70km/h turns, those really sux, and is where most ppl dont brake in start, making every race a hope everyone brakes challenge.


Also, Live For Speed is not Live For Cars, bikes are a good part of the motorsport scene, so, why not include them, would be a really nice twist, and would also break the routine of always having 4 wheels.


This is a for fun simulator, not a for learning simulator, so, bikes = more fun.


PS: after seeing the other posters post about the Carver, would love to see something like that in, maybe a normal one and then a GTR one? that, would be fantastic, more fun !

just a perspective: being someone who regularly takes both bikes and cars to the track i can say that riding a bike is a very PHYSICAL experience. that means the body positioning, body weight transfer, the feeling of dragging knee along the pavemet are what it's all about. i would think that this experience would be very diffcult to simulate. none of the arcade bike games even come close. driving a car on the other hand is a 'sitting down' exercise that is pretty well suited to simulation. of course the g forces and 'seat of the pants' feedback are all missing but i've found with a decent ffb steering wheel the experience is quite satisfying. and no, motion simulators don't help - i've tried a bunch, from simple to very fancy, and i've yet to experience one that helps the simulation rather than distracts from it by providing confusing/unrealistic feedback. no feedback is better than bad feedback.

my point? i think that the physics of bikes can be simulated well (although it's a subject complex enough that many of the professional bike race schools don't agree on things as fundamental as how a bike is steered!). but the experience just doesn't lend itself well to simulation, at least not with any controller hardware i've ever seen.


dpcars is taking words out of my mouth here. Probably the biggest point I'd like to highlight is exactly what type of controller you're going to use for a bike. You need a clutch handle, a brake handle, a brake pedal, a gear 'pedal' that moves up and down, handlebars that rotate, a throttle that rotates, and the ability to lean without falling over. I just can't see it being viable - maybe there's a very good reason nobody markets home bike-simulator controllers?

Quote from Chrisuu01 :YAY i want this my nice car 6th sence overrevved haha

Didn`t get that sentence

Well to change my wish - I want...every kind of car possible, but soon! Doesn`t matter to me what kind or type of car it is, but I need something new on LFS ;P
Oh come on DEV`s , please surprise us with some fancy releases.
See list of Gran Turismo 4
Gt = ..Oh no..
Of course, I agree that tracks and cars in GT is great, problem is that the GAME ITSELF really sucks. Yes, I have played a lot of them, from 1-3, but I allways disliked that there were no damage modell, and because the physics sucked. But it was fun to change the gear ratio`s on the Pikes Peak car so it easely when almost 800 km/h lol
Trucks
Sorry, this thread is very long and I can't read it all and I'm sure it has already been suggested. Just wanted "vote" with my voice.

I would like to race trucks in LFS. I hope there will be some available in S3.

Additionally, I would like to see more modern sport street legal cars too - both low end (not giving an example, but they usually weight much more than the cars we already have) and high end (something like Lamborghini, Masserati or so). I would also like to see some modern turbo diesel racing cars (low rev torque, low rev limit, low consumption, specific sound...) like Seat Leon or Audi R10.

Thank you!
I also want to have some drifting cars, wit aprox 350 -400 hp.
semi slics, hydr handbrake and so on.

cant wait to get S3
i wanna see a peugeot 206

So the main reason i couldn't totaly bash your post is a 350-400 bhp car since the XRT is 250 and the FZ is RR. FZ falls in and i hear it drifts quite good but still. Drift cars also use road legal tires (very very high grip though - Advan Neova for example as slicks would make the car quite uncontrolable - snap oversteer). As for the hydraulic brake, no effect in the game. It only effects real life since it's easier to pull but you have a button in LFS: it could only be made so it's changeable again in the setup.
for me a very nice extension of lfs will be to be able to make it's own car from scratch, imagine you go to a garage/store like and take a "chassis" (don't know the word in US) the car base or category, your motor, brakes type, etc. and than build, test etc. your new car!

hope you get the idea...
What about electric cars?
Quote from The Very End :What about electric cars?

Honda concept SHS and Tesla looks good.
But what about sound? V8 is V8
the toyota pirus s i can wizzzz around a track and save the planet even tho it doesent
i would love see some lightweight car like the Ariel Atom or Lotus exige..

What about Honda FCX
Baja SAE Car~~
And Hybrid Car~~~~
Quote from jonaz lindberg :FZ50 is not mid-engined or small?

Lol i originaly thaght it was mid engined sorry for that one
infact,

Its front enigined and quite big!!
