I think this has been suggested a million billion times before... The problem is that the dev team is very small and they do not make enough money to pay for licensing rights to either F1 or Spa-Francoshamps as a racetrack. As of right now, it is impossible to do something like this. The closest you have is perhaps a custom layout and the f1 mods in S3. There's 2 or 3 modern era F1 cars (post-2014 with the V6's).
There is a way to implement anti-VPN systems, @DriftingDion had something like that implemented for his LCS Cruise Servers. However, last time I was in contact was around a year ago and IDK if the system still exists.
It does impact the racing side of the game, as the updates that we find necessary are taking a longer time because of the focus on the cruise side of the game. I think most of the community would like Scawen to focus on tyre physics, graphics update and similar, and not parking sensors
I think it's good people are supportive of such a topic. Simracing does strive to be as realistic as possible, and isn't quite cutting it yet with these throttle physics. Of course, 1:1 realism is impossible and probably never will get achieved, but we can get close.
Edit: I think if LFS implements this, alongside the new physics and graphics, it'll regain some popularity in the sim-market. It already is a great sim although quite old, I still think it gives the best feel of "realism".
I think we can't have this with the current physics model, as the tyre temperatures work very weird/different to real life in a way. Watching those early 2010's thermal cameras on F1 cars shows that the tyre's lose almost all of the surface temp created by the warmers 3-4 turns into the outlap. That wouldn't happen in LFS wtih the current physics (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)
I think this is a superb idea, especially if it would be customizable, for example turning formation lap ON/OFF, adjusting safety car speed, standing start/rolling start, single/double file on start. A lot of potential to be thought of
No need to buy a laptop if you don't need a PC everywhere you go, a 300€ desktop will have better performance than a 500€ laptop. And if you're in a cheap market country, 500€ gets you a 4060, 16gb ram, ryzen 5 5500 or similar.
I recommend just using an Adblocker and listening from YouTube directly. uBlock Origin is great, I also recommend using Mozilla Firefox or Brave browsers
Suggestion 1: Add changeable TC settings just like brake balance in the F11 menu. A changeable maximum allowed slip would be pretty nice for some mods, as it'll make the racing more immersive/realistic. Another idea is to have mutliple TC "modes" that a player can define in the setup menu, and just change between those on the fly.
Suggestion 2: Add more hotkeys on the Controls page for stuff like brake balance adjustments, ARB adjustments and TC adjustments if implemented/available on the car of choice. Right now this is only possible through scripting, which is very not user friendly/annoying to set up
Add a Recent tab next to favourites for mods the player used recently. For example it'll record the 10 most recent mods. It'd be a nice QoL addition to LFS in my opinion.
