For the XRG. SHIFT+A during drive to get the sound editor


UPDATE: Aug21 added XRT engine sound file called "STUG" Put in LFS/data/engine

UPDATE: added backfires when backfires usually happen with seperate engine only file XRG_AE Tester newest 1

This is just to post my progress trying to get the sound of the AE86 close-ish to real in LFS, i dont normally share this kind of stuff but, if anyone here has ever had/has or drivin one, u might appreciate this pack. i will probably keep editing every so often and updating

enclosed is a pack of engine sounds. I did not make most of them or make the misc addon sounds in the folder either (my AE86 sounds are called "AE, AE Tester, AE Tester newest/real wind")

also, there is a setup i made and that i use all the time labelled "DRIFT" but, its an all around setup, grip or slip using a real AE86 gearing setup with LSD diff

third folder are misc sounds from LFS modders through the years compiled together for the closest to real i can find for this (sound is very important for a driver driver)

and just want to thank the modders who have made the mods available to LFS and of course LFS devs too, almost 20 year love for this sim


INSTALL: just extract to your LFS directory and overwrite files (ive been driving cars and i do mean any to their limit since i was 14 (acredge)and i had, would still have if it wasnt stolen an ae86 for reference on my taste finding the closest to real sounds on the net for this)


DOWNLOAD LINK (my personal google drive)

also finally got around to making a recording with some misc sounds too (crash,grass etc)

I play LFS since second day of release via demo on pcgameworld.com in 2002 because, it is more of a simulator than people think, ive been driving any car to the limit since before i had my license (acredge) and gave my soul to hard driving when i was 3 years old in 1985. i play LFS because i love driving so deeply i am married to it.

not to mention i love how lfs mimick real life cars, you just have to know how to find out which car they are like (nothing to do with looks usually either) and one of my main loves is the XRG is much much like the ae86 one of my favorite cars top 2 out of 100's of cars

throwing this out there, LFS is one of the FEW driving sims that actually do this right. believe it or not, whcih saddens me these days so very few real drivers because of how cars are now even making humans believe there is a "drift mode" in real life makes me sick but, topic at hand YES the jelly tires ARE realistic, in fact a lot of times it has saved my car and possibly me in real life, when they turn to jelly on ur ass in the seat, it lets you know they are about to explode, i will enclose a picture of my tire with new/old ones going on in the back of pic, and the jelly feeling is how i was able to predict my tires needed changing asap (daily driver/toy/all rolled into one)

P.S. the kid i bought the car from and that stole it back put my tires on his car even after i told him these are finished and ready to explode... 2 days later on big highway they exploded and ****ed his corolla up.. then he said "this is all your fault" OI!!!...

"YES, THE JELLY TIRES SHOULD STAY BECAUSE IT IS REALISTIC AND NOT MANY OTHER SIMS CAPTURE THIS DETAIL".

lol... personality is not the same as personalize... personalize is.. material, which gives a good example of what i mean about how ppl r these days...
i enjoy live for speed coz it simulates very well saloon cars.. my favorite, and u can play with them in so many ways with any setup.. very similar to the things u can do in a real car even factory.. im not rich so lfs saves me when i have times i cant be inside of a car, few sims that r on the line of real world behaviour.. and lfs is charming as well

lol so many posts i wanted to respond to kind of aggressively for downtalking physics when the person has clearly no idea, but the beauty of lfs ive always loved is there r more real drivers ;P i didnt even have to say anything coz its already been said hehe

for the ppl that dont drive in real: your answer on lfs physics being "real" just look how many real world drivers play this and love it.. the lfs team has done a fantastic job with this game , well sim actually it deserves that title trully unlike certain others that claim it but all talk like coughnfsshiftcough. no its not perfect but for one, the game isnt finished, 2 NOTHING in this life is PERFECT, perfection is an illusion much like control 100% of either simply dont exist. but for a "game" lfs is one of the few that r trully close to how cars behave in real life, the fact u can road race AND drift on the same tires, with the same setup and inputs on throttle and wheel exactly how its done in real.. need i say more? there r many factors missing of course like number 1 being able to feel what the car is doing in every way (but u can feel half of it with FFB), g force, brain suction i like to call it ;P and the general feeling on ur body and mind being inside a small cockpit being propelled at intense speeds, theres something called imagination that can surpass the lack of g forces tho, if uve felt it in real, u can see the same forces in the car that ur used to in real life, but u just cant feel them, but driving in real life enables to have muscle memory of what the forces that u can only see in lfs feel like.


i just also thought about posts regarding how real the speed looks, like others said, if u mess with the g force/FOV etc meters.. u will get the sense of speed, lfs does it pretty good actually, needs more wind, but its good 200 km actually looks like 200 km and even the way the car handles.. have u ever made a turn more than 20 degrees in a real car at 200 km? specially if ur jerky.. guess what happens? just watch police chase videos, lots of ppl show examples of what happens if u dont give the car what it wants and rather take what U want from it...

last but not least.. a lot of video games nowadays r very "bling bling".. but.. thats ALL they r, they have no personality at all.. live for speed is one of the few games that have all personality intact, graphics r good for a simulation, true sims usually have worse graphics! but in the end, lfs has got it where it counts, much like ppl u find someone ur soul is bounded to right from first meet, and u trully from within dont need anyone else more than a friend coz they r ur true love for real, b4 sex.... but sadly most ppl in todays world go entirely on that "bling bling" and realize years later when it should be too late "oh.. i dont like this persons personality" but uve already had 2 kids and married them coz u thought they were so hot and amazing on the outside... u cant drive a real car from the outside of it.. and the ppl that dont understand, should look deeper into live for speed b4 jumping in the sack with it and judging it.


oh and just to put this out there, there is a mod for rfactor which transforms it into a raw simulation "Historic GT & touring car mod" the feedback is amazing, the sounds r spoton, and most important, each car has its real world handling physics example the 65 mustang loves to go "straight" wont go into detail about what it means really, but this mod has those exact physics of its real world counterpart, just one example, to the ppl that love older cars or just love to drive in general, check this mod out, if this mod didnt exist, i wouldnt have rfactor installed at all...
