Hey,
This is an idea I had talking to a freind on aim.
Is there a way LFS could have a car, that is only able to use offline, that say is just four wheels and an engine. you input how much the engine wieghs, its power output at xxx-xxx rpm, the engine position, tire size, wheel size, wieght, and all the measurements for the suspension.
reason i ask, the physics are decent. but how many of you have wondered how some different rate springs/whatever would feel but dont feel like taking the time to swap everything go to the track and do it when you have LFS already on the computer.
basically an advanced mode, where you are required to spend a couple hours typing in measurements for your car's moving and non-moving parts, so that then you can have it on and go to a lfs track and play with shocks/springs/etc.
just an idea, i know nothing about programming or what it would take, but just curious if this is even a possiblility. probably wouldnt get used a lot but it'd definately be veerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry cool to some people, and it'd be a cool tool to learn more about car setup for people like myself who dont have a lot of experience with fine tuning and nitpicking little things.
