Thank you so much to Ibtasim6781 and Shirtkicker for the detailed responses!
A followup to my questions:
1. I discovered the LFS Hotlap Analyzer: https://www.lfsworld.net/rafa/ If I understand correctly; these are the current records for the particular tracks on a particular car? Looks like I can download the RAF/SPR of these laps. This is perfect for me; data to learn to analyze and learn to drive!
2. I will take take notes of autocrosses I attend and create my own courses
3. Tyre Physics would be excellent! The XRG is good enough for me for now.
4. i5-4590 with a GTX660; thank you for the data point! DK2 is 960x1080 per eye. So that's 2M pixels approximately. You're right; 3 screens @ 1920x1080 per screen is a lot more pixels. 3 times as many in fact haha. I'm happy to hear that VR gives a whole different level of immersion; just poked around Youtube a bit and it looks amazing! Definitely will have to start saving pennies for that
Thanks again, looking forward to start driving! Cheers,

Hi All, new here.
Just downloaded the Demo but I'm sure I'll upgrade quite soon.
I drive an NA Miata and autocross on weekends. In order to improve my driving (and understanding of vehicle dynamics), I've begun looking at data acquisition and analysis.
LFS looks PERFECT for me. I'm excited to get practice at home as well as pull data from runs to play with; understanding how to use that data to be faster; as well as tuning my car.
Right now I only have an XBOX360 Controller; I'm looking the Thrustmaster T150 when I have the space and budget for a wheel. I will also attempt to drive with my mouse/trackball haha!
A few questions (to be fair I haven't messed around with it yet; so I apologize if they answers are obvious):
1. Is there a way to get the computer to run a "perfect lap"? Sorta like in OptimumLap; so I have a reference to approach. I see the "Pro" AI; is that a good place to start or still easily beatable by a good driver? Can I export that lap to look at the data and compare mine?
2. Is there an autocross course generator? One that follows SCCA guidelines would be awesome. Not crucial, but it'd be nice. I found the thread on the layout database so I'm sure I'll be happy for a (long) while.
(kinda a followup to q1+q2 A computer driver run a "perfect lap" on a custom autocross course would be awesome ...
3. I'll probably be focusing on the XRG as it's RWD with similar power to the Miata. It is a bit bigger and heavier though. Any plans to include a Miata-type car? same power as XRG but a bit lighter with double wishbone suspension...
4. Would love to eventually get a VR setup; or maybe a 3 screen setup. Does this require a lot of computer power? I'm trying to find what are recommended specs for a 3 screen or VR setup; it's difficult to find any feedback! Any would be appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance! Sorry about the long post; I appreciate if you've made it this far
