Quote from Racer Y :

I thought of another hack....
What if you could mess with the wind settings and have tornadoes pop-up and attack the other racers?

Like this?

Nice

if looking at the wheel turning faster you can either get a wheel with 720º+ degrees or just turn off the view of the wheel...
And... what kind of ROAD car has 240º degrees wheel?
Anyway, putting the comp in "1.00" will make the LFS wheel turn almost the same as your physic wheel... at least for the first couple of degrees =P

Requesting an option for it is a waste of time 'cause at least i don't think it would be included... since it would be pretty useless, just an "eye candy" (not quite) feature, and as i said before you can always "turn off" the LFS steering wheel so you can't see it turning faster.

agree, 2 years and it hasn't be implemented yet... and it's a pretty nice suggestion

it's totally true, there are lots of combos but the same dman corners, even in different cars they get booring

a mid engine car for the "XFG/XRG class" would be nice , and one for the TBO or GTR class would be lovely.
RAC drives pretty good once you dominate it, people don't like it because they can't drive it instantly, just like the FO8 (wich I feel easier to drive with these new patchs, but hey, maybe i'm just crazy)

agree, plus it's not that easy to drive fast with a mouse. I was slower in the times i used mouse so at least for me is not a superior controller . It's clear that driving with mouse has its advantages (like uber-fast countersteering) but it has it's disadvantages as well.

kinda off the topic but I don't understand people who use keyboard instead of mouse, in that case mouse is totally superior! .
I think is just great that LFS support the mouse as a driving controller too, since is more precise than a keyboard (but not than a wheel).

but in oval you only use one finger to accelerate, you still have 4 more fingers to look left or right

well, yeap... that is.
portuguese is pretty similar to spanish, so it's easy to figure it out

for open wheel cars you dont need anything more than 270 degrees. For road cars 720 or 900 it's ok (in realism terms), but as all the people above said, is not faster (nor cheating as "not sure" said either). I bought the DFP wheel just because it was the best of the time (quality thingy), and because you can have some fun with the 900º from time to time

bump... come on, anyone more who thinks it's a good idea?

i remember i was racing once in a server that already had this app... but i don't remember the name of that server, it was a custom app done by the guy hosting i think

Anyway +1 to this, i can't understand why this isn't in LFS yet

There

i like all those little nice details, +1

well... if the black screen STAYS there... is not so normal

i think you getting me wrong... what about reading again my posts?
Plus, in leagues the game is about winning isnt it?, so all the people when is TBO time, will use FXO, and THAT's the problem here... everyone using the same car gets ridicuosly bo... well, i wont say the same things again and again :P. just hope you get the point

It's ok for the FXO to have better speed on corners, this way every car has it's strong and weaks points, but this car is just the best in slow, medium and fast tracks... .
I made a comparison and the wear 25 laps it's pretty similar on both cars, tho in FXO the temperature grows up faster, on XRT the wear is almost the same to the FXO. About the RB4 i dont know too much since just one guy uses it on the league and he doesn't have nothing similar to my level(i'm comparing to other people with similars skills to mine jugding on our speeds and skills on other cars)

someone said it before, the FXO tyres pulls the car around the corner a bit more than they should. And it's pretty much true, i drove the FXO to make more testing, and i not just get better times, but i can aslo go with pretty poor control on the gas, after the apex(or even earlier on some corners/tracks) i can push the car flatout on the pedal... the same amount of laps. I dont like to tallk without really knowing, so i've done a lot of tests... and the thing is that the car looks absolutely superior.

OK!, in real life there are always superior cars, but this is a game, and as a game, everyone can use AND WILL USE the best car, since there isn't any money or anything involved to race them, so that's why i think it will be good to balance them a bit more, not a trouble on one being a bit superior, it's impossible to have perfect, hard to have near to perfect balance, but right now TBO is a one car class

Quote from legoflamb :

IMO the balance of the TBO class is fine the FWD cars are supposed to to be quicker and easier to drive , the only reason RWD cars are used more for racing is because the drive train can support higher horse power. Once a FWD exceeds a certain amount of power, it becomes almost uncontrollable, with all the torque steer, and power under steer.

OK, but we just ahve 3 cars for this section of the game, and everyone who wants fast laps, and thats what you want when racing seriously, will use nothing more but the FXO. And thats boring

I dont have any problem that FWD being easier to drive, they suck anyways , but whatever you do, you just cant do a competitive race with both cars. I can say because i've done a lot of TBO races by now, the results are always the same with ppl with similar skill levels, AND YEAH, long or short races.

I dont get it at all why this happens because at X patch the balancing was going good, but now is like the old times when the FXO had all the glory.

TBO Is not a "class/category" itself anymore, just 3 road cars with turbo, each for it's section... only RB4 and XRT can compete between each other because ther are some tracks wich RB4 is better(always easier) and others where XRT is faster...

well... just a shame, because as i can see, just like me, a lot of people love to race with RWD cars, and we have almost no chance *to win* (i won over a lot of FXO drivers, but with the fairly skilled ones its a bit difficult... nearly impossible at least they make mistakes... and im not that slow i think :shy.

but it does :/

LONG LIFE RWD RACING!
Nothing is more rewarding :P, that's why i hope the obsene diference come a bit shorter, even if the FXO is still superior, i dont care, but right now it's pretty much impossible to do something against good drivers in FXO... yeah, i can use FXO as well... but as i said beforer(once again) everyone in the same car(FXO in this case) is sooo boring

well, not really. As i said before tyres aren't that different in endurance matters. The FXO gains more Tº on it's tyres but at the end the wear it's pretty similar on both cars. I'm able to say this becaus we had a lot of races this far, and the results doesn't seem to change, even when the drivers switch cars, the FXO keeps on winning fairly easy. I just can give a little fight becaus i have a looooot of time with the XRT, since the starts of S2, when the TBO was unbalanced as well.

The title... is just me or the TBO class is unbalanced again?. Not just the WR's times but the racing ability is way superior on the FXO. Today i wasn't able to do less than 1:36.xx on SO4 reverse, but when i drive FXo with a random set(and a car that i don't even touch) i down the time by one second instantly by one second, if i kept driving it i'm sure i would be able to down the time even more, because i just done 2 laps, and with the XRT a lot more... not just me but a lot of guys on the league i'm driving.

PD: oh, and one more thing i almost forgot... The tyres doesn't even endure more on the XRT to say "at least the XRT is better for longer races.." :/

Just that, because now everyone will start using the FXO and that's kinda booring

The first get to nowhere
The second get's into matters of racers getting out of their car, i dont think that's pretty relevant

But well, so if i understand, the problem with the 3 mirrors showing different things is the performance of the game(?)... even if we dont put the car on it? :/

Even tho... I think this could be an option, so the people with low-end computers won't have any trouble, and the people who can afford the 3 mirrors working independantly(i think it won't be my case) can use it, and have proper mirrors =/... i mean, at least there should be an option for this, or the plans are to keep the mirrors unrealistic until...mmm sometime

i've done the search before, and all i had was no sense and non-related topics... (searched by, mirror, mirrors, rearview mirrors, and basically everything i came with)
Anyway, to be able to see the car on the mirrors is not my point. I'm telling that they should work properly, not like monitors that show what's happening on a little camera on the rear bumper, they are like that right now...
And now i can't understand why after all those threads this wasn't been fixed yet!. OK, dont show the car, just put let the mirrors show what they are supossed to!.

The mirror on the side of the driver it's usefull, so on the central one, wich you can adjust to have better vision on it, and the other mirror is now usefull too since the side views (45º) stay just where you need it to look at it.

It's just me, or the mirrors, all of them (the 3), shows the same thing?
Because some time ago i was racing and someone was with his car to my right side(i drive at the left), when i look to the right to give a look to the mirror, I wasn't able too see him!. He wasn't in a blindspot because i watched the replay later to confirm it.
So I suposse the actually the 3 mirrors show what is in the rear zone of the car, like a camera mounted on the rear bumper O.O rather than reflecting and show what they supossed to.

Edit: ohoh, I messed this one, i was first going to ask if is just myself or is real :P, AFTER that i was going to suggest a correction to this. Well, if is this really happening take it as a improvemente suggestion ^^U, to make the mirrors a bit more realistic on what they're showing... I can't even see my car on them.

tell me if I wrote something wrong, because i'm not too experimented on english I think
