This is great I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you!
I think the best solution is to acquire and upload the mods yourself as an organization. Organizations of real races have to write their own rulebooks, book the tracks, etc. Now with mods, you probably need to own your own “rental” cars or else you open yourself up to manipulation.
I would definitely pay more money, $50, $100, $150 even depending on if we also get a croup C car in the style of og lfs. 👌
I think if anything everyone can agree on a class with base rules and have the unlimited record be based on that. Say 700kg weight, parts must realistically fit, max hp 1500. Max tire width 1500mm combined total. Cog height minimum ? Just spitballing. Min drag 0.9 combined, max downforce at 300kmh 7000kg?
I hope to see a few things, mainly a super sport tire that reacts better to heavier loading and more slip angle with less sidewall flex. Should be good and closer to modern sports tires!
I think race slicks and even sport tires overheat a little too quickly I can’t seem to get a nascar to last more than 20 laps no matter how loose I set up the car and drive with the rear. And Less than 2 drift laps on the kart track have my super tires popped, in real life even at full tilt with 1000hp I’d think 4 laps or so would be more realistic.
Do tires pop due to over temp or tread being at 0?
After finally testing out gravel tires in real life I think that they have too low of grip on pavement, i was very surprised to find gravel rally tires had far better grip on pavement than your average road tire.
I think the sidewall stretch could be changed to a smaller visual ratio, right now it looks like
It’s simulating the rubber at the microscopic level and of course we love LFS because of how good it drives, the tires look comical at lower pressures though.
I hope we can get spring preload instead of artificially increasing travel with lower spring rates.
I hope we get a few other changes too, such as bump steer and other small incremental improvements. I don’t think the whole entire base physics need an overhaul, I love the game as is and find it to be the best one already!

New updates are awesome
Thanks for the awesome new updates to the editor! And the wheels etc all of it looks good.
Adding trail adjustability to the cars has made the biggest difference of all to some of the mods. Very positive improvements! Many cars don’t run any trail offset but lt is very common.
Sometimes positive and sometimes negative.
For example the bmw e46 m3, e36 m3, ford mustang, 300zx z31 and Z32, run positive trail reduction, somewhere between 15 to 25mm.
Most drift angle kits run negative trail “reduction”.
And, it seems that there are some fwd and 4wd cars that run negative trail reduction as well. 5-10mm makes a big difference in the feedback on a fwd car! The r35 gtr appears to have about -5mm, some wrc teams appear to have over an inch (25mm).
Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much! I really like the new updates its a lot easier to work with.
I really liked the ability to move nodes in editor when I had the suspension tab (Shift + L) open, it was a lot easier to dial in the caster and inclination quickly.
Also I am finding that for some specific offroad vehicles I want to be able to set the spring rate lower than the game allows, is it possible to change the lower limit for that?

I wish there was a gravel version with 205/65-15x6.5 and 20mm more up travel. Lovely mod
ban wayback
please ban wayback permanently from the game.
his only goal is purposely ruining servers

Wow, I’m so glad to see someone actually care about the real world figures for once. Amazing work!
Looks very nice
I’m not sure if you’ve been around this kind of engine in real life but they sure do shudder a lot. They shake the whole damn neighborhood if they’re wicked enough.
Overall great mod. The 20’s car is my go to. Very pleased with your work.
If you upgrade to S3 you can find nicely modded xrg’s ready to drift

e30 m3 dtm spec
working on this mod... I got a low poly base 3d to start from, but its looking better. it was tricky to find the details on some of the proper specs... but its physics are complete now! I have to model the interior from scratch and finish adding details to the body so it's an A+ mod. it is slightly faster than XFR on Westhill National.

Here was a basic sprint car I started on. Feel free to do whatever you want with it and finish it or use it offline. I am not going to work on it anymore. It drives pretty good once you’re willing to drive it like you stole it!

Thank you,
Good progress coming down the pipe line... just working on a base model version. I have a mid way modified version finished. None of these have a 350cid V8 though! 4AGE only 💯💯
Did you happen to turn aerodynamic resistance to 0? .400 is the baseline. It sets the speedometer based on aero drag and bhp I believe
Me too! I love them and I’m so lucky that I lived pretty near their factory and the race tracks in California and have gotten to learn from them.
I don’t want to step on the devs toes! I have sent them an email to make sure this is OK! There is at least one other big name that has said they’re OK with it but I can’t say that officially yet until that’s figured out.
I reached out to the very successful drift suspension company Parts Shop Max and have received consent from them.
working....
some inspiration
trying to add detail but keep polys low enough to not be a drag.
does anyone know how to adjust smoothing groups on triangles?
