There's NO SUCH thing as an "IDLE RPM" in real life. You can change the throttle at idle though.

Erm, how do you/they set the idle rpm then.

But, changing the idle rpm will not give you 'power on' with no throttle - the throttle is closed, and when under load the air bypass won't make any difference to the 'output' of the engine. It'll just idle higher. Acheving the same thing with dxtweak is not the same thing - you're forcing it to hold the throttle on, which is different. You'd never do that in a real car because the throttle would act against the brakes.

Why would flywheel weight be a nice thing to have? Surely everyone would just run the lowest?

I guess I was thinking more of a 'wind the throttle plates open' idle adjust than an ecu managed idle control. (driving an 80's efi sportscar you get used to ignoring ecu controls!) No doubt you're right and you wouldn't do it in a real car (to the degree I have anyway) because of braking concerns... not sure if that's a good reason not to have it or not though Maybe it's a good reason to have brake heat and wear simulated

As for flywheel weight, it would make a fairly signifigant difference to traction over bumps / speed of rpm increase during loss of traction, and would be a very nice thing to have simulated once (if?) proper clutch control is available.

I've read 'engine improvement' suggestion threads before and they always seemed unnecessary, verging on ridiculous... just thought things like this would make more sense though. Obviously I'm not suggesting it's at all a necessity, just that it would be an 'improvement'.

Learn to heal and toe, keeping revs on with the throttle whilst still braking with your right foot, not physically possible to do with my pedals though as they fall off the box they're balanced on

As for braking and accelrating at the same time it's used in older racing cars to keep the car balanced through the corners not sure if it'll be fast in modern cars though, I wouldn't recommend it.

Modern ECU's have idle rpm, it is target rpm that ECU tries to keep. In some aftermarket ECU's you can set it by yourself.

So it does exists, but is not perhaps very important thing to have in LFS, imo.

I thought that heel and toe was related to shifting down when braking?
You brake with toe and blip throttle with heel when you shift so car won't get unbalanced. I do this everytime when I drive with my car in reallife.

Yep it is but I've seen videos of it being done differently in GPL, where you're balancing the throttle and brake using the same idea, how it's done I don't know as it wouldn't seem a naturally easy position to hold your feet in but I'd guess with a home built pedal set it can be adjusted to suit you.

On the throttle body, there is a screw that lets you adjust the idle. That's what I meant. And, if we could reprogram the car's computer, then we should also be allowed to change the rev limiter, and make other adjustments. illepall

It could be one of S2's licenced features to stop people using the demo for too long
