Who's Scawen? Never heard of him/her.

Oh man.
I use to race Lx4's with this dude years ago.

Oops I missed a few years.

This post makes it 17 years.

The police will come.

15.5 years..

Anyone know when Sirocco coming out?

Nah just kidding.

Looking forward to getting back into LFS

14 years now. I'm 28.

Had LFS for half my life.

GG

10 years ago, I made a thread saying turbos in LFS were wrong because the boost fell when you stopped accelerating at high rpm.

I think it's a good idea.

Wow, I made this thread 3 years ago. Which means I'm on my 13th year of LFS.

It's a shame really, that major updates now days are otherwise "small fixes" from version 1.12 to version 1.13 in any other barely reputable game.

I'm not trying to have a dig, but the sirocco announcement was made at the point of the cars actual release. 8 years ago, it's now on the verge of being discontinued.

Just getting back into LFS after a few years, already been banned by TC cruise server for going into a "not allowed area" in a police chase.

Keen for a race but can't find any race server.

Any private servers or good racing servers to look out for?

Cargame.nl looks like it's dropped off.

Is that all?

Everyone does, and gives their opinion about it. NOS isn't a feature that adds anything to a simulator. It's fun in an arcade racer I guess.

In general, not having things like NOS or KERS is what makes LFS so great. Hard racing and nice overtakes which aren't pressing a button and fly past the other guy.

Oh please continue to explain to me how all of you honestly take in full seriousness a LFS licensed member for more than a decade is actually suggesting adding a feature of coloured nitros purge to add to the effect of VIP camber on the start grid. Don't forget to cover your eyes too and fight your concious mind of detecting blatantly obvious sarcastic humor. While at the same time completely ignoring any kind of legitimate suggestion.

Quote from MousemanLV :

That purely reminds me of NFS. It's not necessary to have anything like that in a racing simulator, it's pointless and has no real use.

I had a beer last night and I was also very disappointed that it was 4% empty. Completely ignoring the 96% that was full.


I'm really hoping some one on this forum will get what Im saying here.

All my opinions above.

Thank you for clarifying to me that it is not need for speed. in regards to wheel options.. We already have tyre options which have no benefit aside from a visual appeal. Perhaps we should remove that feature. Also we have customizable horn sounds which can be heard by other players. A feature I guess should not be here either. Or maybe just don't tick that box since my suggestion gives the option for people who do not wish to use it Actually since it's not need for speed. The already existing engine note tuning should be completely removed.

In regards to nitros oxide it is essential to have coloured nitros purge effect when showing off your VIP camber at the start grid.

Been a while since I've posted here but I jumped on the other day to have a few laps and just thought of a few small things that could add a bit to the sim.

Dyno graphs : Adding dyno graphs for cars in the setup screen, possible a tab to view or visable dyno in info screen. Or a ctrl+(key) in game for an additional driving telemetry. While it doesn't have any massive benefit it's one of those 'little things' that's nice to have.



Restricted setup server type I've played in the past a few restricted setup races in small team games. How good would it be to have a restricted setup public server. This would apply mainly for STD (lol) TBO and LRF class cars. Where everyone would drive cars locked in an unmodified factory setting. It would make for some very fun competitive racing and true show of driver skill. perhaps some slight tweaking of the 'default' setup would be required to make all cars in a particular class be more balanced however it's already very close. This can also leave open the possibility of locked admin setups. As well as restricted starting fuel for the longer races so that pit stops and driving style are more calculated.

Different wheel style options Enough said.


More refined engine note tuning When tuning car sounds it's a bit tricky sometimes getting that note you're after without slipping into the "my speakers can't do that" realm. Perhaps a more simplistic format of just. Loudness, sound insulation, higher/lower pitch. With an added tick on/off option of hearing other peoples custom notes.


Cars need nos Nitros oxide and also nitros purging when at the starting grid to show off with custom colour tuning of the gas.

Looks like VOB mod. judging from exhausts.

Makes me sad, I'm never sure if the Dev's are actually working on the next big thing.. Or... just saying that they are and not admitting the game is dead so they don't lose even more sales.

Lol it is a little late for that, you have seen my current vechicle the Huynday? ;p It cannot get worse than that haha

What do you mean? The Hyundai 1.8 makes more power than the Mazda 2L. And to be honest the Hyundai is a better car to drive with more technology than the Japanese counter parts.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Tor, the LX8 was never released in a public patch. The version distributed with it was a leaked beta version not intended for public use.

Miami didn't become South City. It was actually a scrapped track. Probably because the 2 were so similar.

I remember torrenting that patch years ago, the Lx8 was quite a handful but a lot of fun. I think the reason they scraped it was that it was basically in a class of it's own.

Thought just popped to mind though... would be good to throw an LX competitor into the UFR/XFR class

How dare you ask such a question on this forum, don't you know that any questions or queries regarding development or improvements on LFS are highly frowned upon by this community.

Wow, much time, very memories.

My 10th year LFS anniversary, I feel old, I still remember being 14, in my mums living room begging her to use her credit card to buy me LFS S1. Starting off being a typical first corner crasher at full speed ram. Now abusing anyone who does it. LFS has been apart of me growing up, can't wait for S3.

That is all
Kindest regards,
Aaron

I think they're both already balanced quite well. just like XRG vs XFG, comes down to the track, and ultimately the driver. but what pleases me the most is just like the XRG, the ufr is harder to drive than it's equal. Which makes the win all more rewarding.
