hello sorry if this has been posted before but i didn't see it in the sticky so here i go

i thought that we could have a advanced mode in the setups
so you could change engine,upgrade it(instead of just tuning it) add componants(you could screw up here adding wrong componants)
change body...

this is just a sugestion something that i thought would improve the game play for mechanics and what not

please don't flame at me....

I think this is more along the lines of what you're looking for:

And yes, it's been suggested a thousand times, most notably in the sticky at the top of the section that reads: Suggested improvements log [READ before making a new thread].

Yay, it's C&P time!

Any form of upgrade system would turn out to be a waste of time in the end. People would eventually work out the best setup for each track and everyone would use it, just like the vast majority of people all use the Inferno setups. This results in all cars being the same again, making any upgrades you added a waste of time.

Change engines, ey? Why would ANYONE take anything other than the best one?

Upgrading stuff, yes? How would you like coming to LfS, joining a server and finding that you can't compete with even the biggest dork because he upgraded his XF to 1000 HP and you're trundling about in your stock XF?

Adding components? Like what? Bodykits that only weigh you down? A third useless windscreen wiper? A sunroof? A second oil tank?

Very silly ideas, not at all thought through... :doh: Besides, do you think any of this stuff would be available for demo, even if through some weird and sad way those things find their way into LfS?

When you actually understood the principle of equal performance, thus the driver matters, feel free to bring more (better) suggestions...

honestly, people will ask for this NFS garbage untill the day S3 final is out.(by then I should have a licence for S2) any NFS game after Porsche Unleashed/Unlimitied was just a big screwup in my opinion, most of them drive like slot cars after that.

I would like to see one of these people from NFS with all there tuner mods come over to LFS and try and race like they do with there 900+HP rice rocket. I would even let them have there car modded to 900+HP and I'd still kick there can across the finnish line. And I'm not even good at LFS yet. My fastest is a 1:29.51 on blackwood forward.

Car mods don't make for better racing, they make your car look stupid and make people think you are compensating for something.
My car In undeground 2 looked bone stock, and I've even raced against people with stage 2 upgrades using a bone stock car. I won, because I don't drive like a moron. My favorite car was the nissan 240sx, Front Rear configurations make for better racing cars even in Underground 2.

i mean like change the engine layout..

Thats a great idea! Lets put the battery where the brake booster is, and why don't we just remove that brake booster..Its not like anyone in T1 uses them. Or in any turn for that matter. Oh I know why don't we just remove the engine completely! That will give a GREAT speed boost without all that weight behind the car! Then LFS can become a Soapbox derby simulator!
