I have number'd these so i can see your suggestions/opinions for each.

1. Another game mode would be interesting, For example a knockout mode, The last pos racer gets knocked out (from lap 2 onwards) untill 1 racer is remaining (This could be fun(Ofcourse if you crash out that means your prob gonna lose)).

2. Another suggestion is an option to save qualify times to a txt file.

3. The ability to see a last lap racing line (Like what is currently avaliable on the beta LFS Remote (www.lfsworld.net/remote for those who havnt seen it).

4. Why is it that in my car. When i gun it and smoke up the tyres, as soon as i release the accelerator the car straightens up, But in lfs it just keeps sliding?

5. The speeds/track size in lfs dont 'feel' realistic like, Blackwood is 3.3km long, And the back straight would have to be atleast 1km of that, It takes a total of.. 20 seconds? 30 seconds maybe? (in the XFG(only going 150-160).

for example when traveling around the track at 100km/h (~60mph) it 'looks'(visually) slow at 100 FOV, Even though i dont use 100 fov, it would be default. Which is also way too far forward to see the mirrors, Even though thats what look left/right are for.

6. Cant believe im writing this one, ARCADE FTL. NEW QUALIFY/OnlineHotlap MODE: All cars are 'invncible' (You can drive through eachother). This would solve the fact people blocking the track while your trying to set a good time. Will also help me ban less people.


Ill add things as i remember them.

1. Silly and unrealistic, possible through InSim but not as an LFS option thanks.

I dont see how this is unrealistic? It happens IRL.

Could also happen after a series of races. eg. If 10 people are racing, 5 lap races, each race bottom 2 get spectated.

Could be done via InSim, a little bit of a gimmick.

Not just quali times, something like LFS Stats built in would be nice.

Interesting idea.

Interesting idea. Maybe it would be a good way of doing one-lap qualifying?

I don't understand this, and don't believe that LFS could do this wrong. If you drove against the pit limiter (80 km/h) for an hour, I believe you'd really move 80 kilometers on the track. Besides, it takes 24,4 seconds to go 1 km at 150 km/h

I think this is something that can't be much improved by improving LFS, since it's our equipment that limits reality.

If you try to simulate the vision of your eyes squeezing it into a little square 2D display, you have to compromise between natural looking enviroment (smaller fov) and sense of speed (bigger fov). The wider display you have, the less you have to compromise.

Most of them I'm not fussed about, but I don't mind the idea of #1 as a kind of special event feature. I guess InSim could do it, or careful admin work, but an actual official method could be pretty good fun.

But it'd need the ability to set the number of laps per knockout too. Like the last position after every 2 laps gets eliminated, or 4 laps, or 50 laps for Enduro nutters
But not a direct-to-spectate version. It'd need to just stop counting your laps and write "ELIMINATED" across the screen or something. Removing people instantly is a bit crap.

Yeah, unless we want LFS to be an alien abuction sim.

Alien abduction sim? Not sure about that, but Scawen sent me this yesterday, it's images of one of the new localisations that's being added. It will have some extra features though due to regional behaviour.Linky.
