Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

p.s. the tyres probably heat up because your using the softest compound, think of them like a qualifying tyre and you will do a bit better at keeping them cool.

R3`s are being used for a 6 lap fox race.. they are decently worn/hot by the last lap.


Ahm, guys, what i am suggesting is a temporary fix for a long time problem.

But in reality the "screen" haha is MUCH bigger... I don't see a reason not to make something to help people reading in the usual 17" - 19" monitors..

Thats is definetly something that doesn't compromise the "reality" of the game.

There will be a diffrent kind or Crashers then. The crashers that just puch you out in a corner so you hit the wall hard and they continue with the next one. so its a good ideah but still it will make bad things to.

That crasher would be out of the race also =]

Sadly, Lag is always an issue.

Wazup?

But don't you think that the "fear" of having to sit out for a whole race would make people drive with more caution in the T1?

Okay, about the digital/needle speedo, it is pretty simple.
If a car uses a needle speedo, and you where to use it on a race situation, like LFS or your local track day, you could easily buy a digital speedo and place it on your car. I believe that none of the oficial championships have any kind of rule that says that you cant use a second/digital speedo. It is that simple.

So i guess i would be nice to give us back the digital speedo, or add an option to ad a new gauge for digital speedo.

And like previously mentioned, i really, REALLY can't read the speed on the FBM, a pain specially in the pit area.

Well, i know how many thousands posts there where about realism and all sort of things, but there is one simple little thing that could be done to REALLY improve the realism of the game, in my opinion of course.

The visual effects of a crash are just a fun factor, and, even though i would love to see bits and pieces fly trough the air when some half-witted driver crashes me, it is utterly a superficial thing to be worried at this stage.

Nonetheless i believe that ANY crash, with ANY car above 100kph (60 mph) against a wall or a car or any very solid object, should immediately disable the car, total shut down.

Reason? Well, for all the formulas car, it is pretty obvious than anything besides a very light crash would be sending carbon fiber trough the air and make those cool scenes we love to watch, plus finishing the race for those who crashed.

On all the other sorts of cars, it would be pretty sure that after hitting anything at 100+ kph you would sustain a pretty decent physical and mechanical damage, and would have to drop the race.

So, what I'm saying is this: any crash at a certain speed and/or at a certain type of solid object/car (to bee discussed) should disable the car and after 15 seconds send it to the spectator mode and leave it there for the rest of the race.

Btw, it would be interesting that all servers had the "no join during race" that's a pretty realistic feature.

P.s.: And for the last regards, i think the grass is back to "icy" mode even though the fixed that in one of the beta patches [and i loved it was not ice anymore] and i really can't understand why the heck the tires warm up so fast making some unusable after 5 laps, it doesn't seem real to me.

Well, let me be very straight forward:

I like to look at the Speedo, it is useful to me. I play on a 17" notebook screen and I'm at least 50cm from the screen, with the analog i CANT read the speed, so if im leaving the pits with a car without pit limiter, i'll loose alot of time.

I know that for those playing on 29" monitors it is all right, but some mortals dont have those and would love to be able to consult the actual speed on the car, so i plead the Devs, put the Digital Speedo back in the game for all cars!

Wazup people?

So, there might be a couple of threads about this, but i couldn't find one with a straight forward "thread name". Anyway..

Why LFS doesn't support add on tracks? If even simbins games have that kind of support, wouldn't that solve the whole "licensing costs" on the tracks?
Since they wouldn't be official there should be no costs involved and we could be racing at laguna seca, nordschleife and so on so forth..

Cheerz.

Oh, cmon!!

What are you complaining about?
I use a PIV 3.2, 1gb ram and 128 mb video, and it is a notebook.

Cmon ppl..

An by 2011 you'll probably have changed pcs a couple times..

Reading all of this i kept thinking on hyper-cars that have no nanny aids and are true hyper cars. I had only three cars in mind.

Mclaren F1 (Long live understeer)
Porsche Carrera GT (anyone who saw TopGear knows that it's a b!tch)
Zonda F (Brilliant)

That selection seems very balanced. For christ sake, just give us some v8s, v10s and v12s, even though with the sound engine we have right now, they would all probably sound dull...

Just K

+1 !!

Just add another tinny space on the usual car skin file, with the background of the gauges !

Well, hopefully this was not posted before.

Something i noticed when playing in a server with no car restriction is very VERY upsetting. When you are racing a BF1 people should hear you coming from a mile away, the volume of the engine sound should be something outrageously LOUD, but it it not.
Same thing for the GT cars, well, they dont have mufflers and stuff, you should hear a big difference, their sound should be in a very dif volume from all the other cars...

Cheerz,

k

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

seems you have somne power saving features ON so in case LFS doesnt use CPU a lot the CPU or whole system downclock a bit and thats whyt the FPS drop.

When MSN is running it seems it eat resources so the notebook things it must run on "max" and you dont have FPS frop while playing LFS.

that is exactly why i tryed to turn the msn on =]

i wonder how soon we could see that happening..

Well, funny enought, it seems that, if i leave the MSN on... there is no issue with the FPS...

what the heck...

Quote from MAGGOT :

With the current skin system, it is not possible to skin over transparent surfaces. If the devs migrate completely to dds skins then it could be possible, but as it is now it is not possible. I am against the opague windows seen on brazillian race cars (like the one pictured) because it limits vision and looks stupid imho. I prefer the real windows.

I like the skin system as it is now; simple jpg files. They are small and quick to transfer over the internet. Much better than having to upload a large dds file to a server. Not to mention the increased bandwidth needed for such images, completely destroying the possibility of auto-skin downloading.

Major -1 from me. Also, please use the search. This has been brought up many many times.

Well, think about it, how many times did you REALLY looked trough those windows?
I think it would look pretty cool... and to solve the problem of transparency, just make them not transparent at all, just like if it was a door..

great ideia!

+1 from me

Quote from sinkoman :

So you just want cars, period?

Nein, I want supercars!! if they are real or not? well, we have to start with something...

And i bet this was brought up many many times.. but.. it is very weird no having v8's v10's and v12's in the game..

Well, i was wondering, i think it would be cool to be able to put graphics in the rear side windows of the GT cars, like some of the real ones have...

Or maybe all cars... so you could have a choice "glass" or just to use that space as any panel of the car and put some skin on it...

Like this:

http://www2.uol.com.br/bestcar ... stock/david-mufatto-2.jpg

that would be cool =]

Damn...

Well, let me make it simple:

I WANT SOME REAL/FAKE/WHATEVER SUPERCARS!!!! [yes, i just realized it hehe]

BTW, the Mclaren F1 is my dream car...


Im finishing my Advertising major, next year im going to do a Product Design Major, so i might come up with a thing or two.. that doesn't looks like an egg..

Quote from Dajmin :

I'll re-post the comment I make every single time any kind of car upgrading system is suggested.

It's pointless. Eventually people would work out which parts are best for which track, and everyone would use that setup. The number of people who use the Inferno sets is the best example you can get. So we'd end up with every car set up exactly the same way.
And guess what? That's the way it is now.

Well... thats pretty much 100% right..

I love this forum, ppl are really fast on replys..

Great, so one of the developers could try that! [i doubt very much]..


Maybe later..


Well, what i mean is, i would seriously LOVE to drive a Lambo on the BL track, or a BF1 at the Ring, you never know if you ever going to have a lambo, but it would be fantastic to drive one, in the most realistic possible way, but virually..hehe.. just ot get the feel of it.

Im not saying he is crap, but definetly theres always a bigger fish out there. You are complaining about the tracks, im complaining about the cars.. SSDD

Well, sinc ewe already have the ovals, it would be pretty cool to have a stock car v8 anyhow..

Quote from XCNuse :

We do.
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=2626

Oh well, i mena, "do"s and "dont"s for the designers... so they could model the cars within the limitations of the game =]


Well, that is the great thing, when you are driving with your plastic wheel in a crappy chair but in a real circuit, that is not a plastic wheel, it is a roarin' GTR car, and you are sitting in a hard and uncofortable racing seat sweating and aiming for the championship, cause you can be the best in the world...

I though THAT was what the game was all about...

And including real cars, but specially real tracks would be amazing to make that fantasi a bit more real...



I've done that, no need to be rude, but if you read my post, i have comented on asking pros to design the cars, so they would look better.


BTW: we should really get a "LFS stock car v8" for the Kioto Ring... that you be "sumthing"

Well, we could just give them a list with all the "do"s and "dont"s.
Wouldnt that solve the issue?
