You have a great Idea Horci.
I had not thought about this possibility
It's could be perfect but.. The RB4 is a Saloon car unlike the XFR and the UFR so a XFR vs UFR vs RBR (light GTRs) race could look like strange ?!
Well, you all prefer a RB4 Rallycross or something else but not a real GTR, I can understand ^^
In the French community we are doing a TBO League (races with FXO, XRT and RB4).
in order to allow the RB4 to take part with little chances to win, we oblige the FXO to put a passenger (+ 1 second)
So, if you think a GTR version is useless, what do you think about a simple addition of Horsepower to make the RB4 more competitive ?
RB4 is really slower than FXO and XRT so it's quite impossible to do a "Turbos league"
Sure you're right
But I think the RBR could be the middle way between the FZR (which is the fastest (and the worst for tires)) and the FXR (which is the slowest (and the best the tires))
You can say that the XRR is a middle way but this car has a big problem: it remains blocked in sand ^^
When GTR races are organised we usally can see only one or two different car (most of time: FZR and XRR)
I think Victor says that the RB4 might be in a Rally version but he doesn't know if a GTR version is possible.
I'm still in love with LFS and particularly with the RB4.
I just think it's a pitty this car has not a powerful version. A GTR version, why not ? ^^
I know some french drivers like this RBR idea
But what do you prefer if a new RB4 version is envisaged for a future addon or for the S3: a Rallycross RB4 or a RB4 GTR ?
Here is my 3ds work of my dream:
A RB4 GTR (RBR)
In pictures : [Click to enlarge]
In numbers : Four wheel drive
Engine:
2.0 litre turbocharged inline 4
Power:
365 kW (490 bhp) @ 6278 rpm
Torque:
627 Nm (461 lbft) @ 4782 rpm
Total Mass:
1130 kg (2492 lbs)
Power-weight:
330 W/kg (450 bhp/ton)
Weight dist:
57.5 F 42.5 R
In words :
The RB4 GTR (RBR) could have 4 wheel drive like the FXO GTR with a speed around the XR GTR's one. It could have a little feeling of a rear wheel drive with 70% of traction on the rear wheels (for example).The wear of the tires could being equivalent with the XR GTR's one but with a small fuel overconsumption like the FZ50 GTR's one
I will modify my light. The ground on the car's sides has not to be so lit by the light.
I didn't use HDRi because my computer is not really powerful and the HDRi makes me waiting for a long time (more than a simple skylight)
That's right, races are not indicated. I will correct that as fast as possible.
Seeing the number of race in one season, all tracks will be used or almost. Tracks which do not have stands are used at the end of the season as Sprint Race.
The second FOX season of my GrandPrix.LFS is about to begin.
I translated into English the web site in order to allow you, if you wish it, to take part. I thus give you go on: http://GrandPrix.LFS.free.fr
Some famous pilots of the French community have already took part in this championship. The races are very tight.
The Forum is still in French but with the inscription of the first "English" pilot I will translate the important posts
I've lot of disconnections too.
This fact makes me stop to play LFS sometimes because I'm too disappointed. I loose lot of races only because I loose connection before the finish line.
I've Free.fr which is disconnected every ten or twenty minutes, and I've also Wanadoo which is a little bit more stable. But with Wanadoo I've a bad Ping and the host oftently asks me to get out or simply kicks me from the server.
So in fact I can't make seriously a league because I'm almost sure to be in the last points because I couldn't finish all races.
--
SteF from the French community has made a little soft which saves laps, position and time on a web page. If you're disconnected, you can start again from pits with your laps saved on the web page. The games says you none lap but when you cross the line the soft writes during few seconds your position, laps, times...
So it's possible.
Please Think about the players who haven't stable connections.
