Fabulous road/rally/race daily car

Same for me.
In France.

Great vid ! and great driving.
Some training for me and I will do the same :static:

Quote from AndroidXP :

Ohhhh, that's not normal. Go to your wheel's driver/control panel and under FF settings disable the steer centering spring (or whatever it's called).

The FF in LFS does indeed make the front wheels point where the car goes, so on oversteer you experience sort of an automatic countersteering effect. If you don't set up your FF wheel correctly then LFS' forces may be masked by wheel-induced (and completely unrealistic) forces.

Ohh! Didn't tried this !
It's much better !
I'll train with this settings... Must be nearest real life.

THANKS

Quote from prot88 :

...you have to get back your steering wheel to the left to avoid a 180°

sorry, to the RIGHT of course

sorry for my bad english but I will try to explain exactly what I mean.

I think it's not "understeering" or "oversteering"' but only when front wheels starts to slip.

In real life, when your car is drifting (oversteering in a left curve for example) and you have to get back your steering wheel to the left to avoid a 180°, you can make it very quickly. And I can't do that in LFS because of the resistance of the force feedback.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Here we go again. Where does your 'knowledge' come from? Hearsay? Other sims? Or own real life experience?

My knowledge come from real life experience.
I make some track days with a Ford Cosworth (www.protois.com). Even my car is a four wheel drive, I experienced many oversteerings in short curves. In this cases, I turn much quickly and easily my steering wheel than in LSF.

Happy to know that force feedback will change soon

Hi
I am not really satisfied by logitech DFP force feedback and i usually set force to 0 in some case for only one reason:

When front wheel start drifting, an real life steering wheel must become very light. In LFS, the wheel get harder and harder when the car starts to drift.illepall

Is there any setting to solve this ???

Thanks

Hi,
I Have tried to read all this topic (but I am a little poor in English :schwitz I don't think I have understood everything....

I am with those want the possiblity of engine tweaking because I play LFS quasi only for simulate my real car.

I do some trackdays with my car and, for training, I managed to build a nearest car that suits my Sierra Cosworth 4x4 in FLS: RB4 whith same gears, one central visco-coupling, "civilian" tyres, very smooth shock absorbers.. etc

With force feedback wheel and clutch I was really amazed by realism of car driving : really really near my car.

But some paramaters are still wrong: Weight, engine power (a little more ), red line rpm, certainly torque... and... look !

My wish is:
Possibility to set all this parameters like my real car and to make races with other "real car".

But how can we prevent for some players to have a 500 hp car instead of a simple VW bettle 60 HP in real life ???? It's all the problem...

Ho ! I have forgotten:
Real noise of the engine, gravel or sand noise when we are out of track, some fire throwing out of exaust after 3 laps ;-)
And I want all this options for tomorrow please !

Yves
