The driver animation could be improved (hands are sliding a bit)...

I'll work on the driver animation and update that at some point.

Regarding Forge, I emailed them personally back in 2022 asking for permission and they responded with the following:

"Hi Jonathan,

I hope you are doing well and thank you for reaching out to us regarding the Forge logo and it’s use in your ‘Live for Speed’ game.

We are more than happy for you to use the Forge Motorsport logo on the liveries in the game, if it’s of any use I’ve attached our usual Brand guidelines that details the best/preferred ways to show the logo. I’ve also dropped a link below to logo files should you need those.

Make sure to send us the liveries when you’ve completed them as we’d love to see what you come up with!"

So I followed the right channels

Quote from Evolution_R :

Looking good now, can you please also add one interior screenshot?

I have added an interior shot

Quote from o000o :

It's alive and nearly well...

Happy to see someone also saw the cool news, really great to see they are restoring this legend!

Quote from johneysvk :

LOD2 has no floor, making shadows look weird, could you have a look at that?

Hi

Thanks for the heads up, I think its better now

Quote from Evolution_R :

This one drives really good! ...

I always thought this was an absolute swine to drive because its almost as wide as it is long but seems like it is enjoyed by a few dudes, good to know!

I have sorted that out.....hopefully

Quote from Evolution_R :

Hey, can you reduce the clipping of the engine sound a bit...

Done! Thanks

Quote from Evolution_R :

LOD3 skins mappings are flipped.

Hey man, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I have corrected that issue

Quote from Evolution_R :

There are still some holes left.

I got too eager, I think its all sorted now

Quote from Evolution_R :

LOD3 skins mappings are flipped.

Thanks, I have fixed this

Quote from Evolution_R :

Please fill the holes in LOD2.

Holes corrected, all should now be in order

Vehicle mod: PROSTOCK DRAGSTER
Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/531E25

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Late 80's muscle car converted into a ProStock Drag Car

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

5 Speed Sequential
FAT Drag Slicks
8.2L V8
10000rpm+ Redline
Wheelie bar
Low 8s - High 7s 1/4 mile times
Enjoy!

COVER SCREENSHOT:

I decided to develop my CH3OH OFFROAD mod into a 4 seater.

Well it snowballed into a full blown Sandrail





The main goal for this mod is to be a fun offroad toy to add to the options available on LFS. With some slicks slapped on the back it will easily pull the front wheels off the ground and makes for a lot of fun seeing how long you can wheelie it.

I added some oversized indicators & brake lights on the back, the thinking that it would also double as a great lead car for guys that are into leading cruises on some of the more cruise/ free play type servers.

Here are some screen shots of how it currently looks:

As a fellow South African I am having the same issue. Wonder if the host has blocked South African IP's for some reason?

Quote from Flame CZE :

Please add a LOD2 model for shadows and mid-distance.

Hi Flame

I have added an updated LOD2 and the LOD3 as well, hopefully all is now in order

Quote from turbofan :

Agreed, nice addition to the approved mods list. Almost all other drag mods are...

Thanks Turbofan, appreciate the support always and the fact that this mod isn't on the JAR naughty list

Quote from Scawen :

Nice to see a dragster approved. I have an improvement suggestion. In version...

Thanks Scawen, its nice to see this mod get the recognition, it was built to be enjoyed by all and be a good representation of a proper dragster.

Good point on the engine rotation, I must say I omitted to confirm that, so I'll update that soon!

Quote from Tomfuel :

very good car, very good look, engine sound is great
but it is clipping too much !!
we plan an event at Gum Garage with your car, could you fix it please by reducing the volume

please : do not change the sound, it is very great

thanks

Thanks very much, happy to hear its going to get used for racing, thats what it's there for

I have reduced the volume so that the clipping is much less, hope its better for you now!

When is the race?

Really cool mod, just needs to have the suspension corrected in my opinion. Mk2 has macpherson strut up front and a solid rear axle, essentially trailing arm

Quote from versiu :

This car is so fun :
Even with almost none caster angle it's easy to slide ;p

Thanks man, nice to hear someone is enjoying it, I feel like this mod hasn't gotten that much love and I am not sure why, its certainly different to the host of usual mods, but I guess everyone has their own preference

Quote from Flame CZE :

- LOD3 side mappings are mirrored
- fix engine sound clipping

Noted and corrected, thanks

Vehicle mod: FRAUD BIG BOY
Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/7A3D0E

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Big Body, Big Power, Big Angle, BIG BOY!

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

A big heavy pickup that has nice powerful 427 V8 under the hood, has good steering lock and big tyres.....basically enough power to overpower the tyres but enough grip for controlled slides, so a big fat drift vehicle. It should also make for a nice cruise vehicle and maybe even the odd street race.

Lots of fun!

Quote from adin :

Yea! 200 Quattro > 90 IMSA. Finaly one of my fav racing cars. Tested, and it is pretty nice mod. Good job.

Thanks so much man, happy you like it!

Cool idea, please fix the front suspension, your offset and stuff is messed up, aim for -0.030 scrub

Thats really impressive man, well done for giving it a shot, it goes to show that in life you will never know if you don't try, the worst someone can say is "no"!
