I have to agree with the fact that a turbo would turn the XF into a short wheelbase lightweight FXO.
But let me tell you about my "old geek" game habits (I am 38) : I mostly play LFS with good ol' friends at lunch break on the corp LAN. We enjoy this marvellous game because it is so close to the fun we have on track days with our real cars. We don't care for more power or this Sauber "game of it's own on wheels" because we do not have the skills, the peripherals and the dedication level of you "hardcore racers". In fact, we see LFS as an extension of our road and track habits. LFS is the only car sim I know where we can race side-by-side for more than a minute without any "the loser will be the winner" algorithmic annoyance. This code is made by guys that KNOW cars, love cars and the pleasures of motor racing (which is part of the english DNA according to my santa pod weekends memories).
Forget about that XF-T, I want my civic -R in that game 8-)

Il est clair que ça ne change pas grand chose mais les trads un peu rapides sont quand même franchement nazes. Je n'ai pas parlé des "quals" et de la "fin des quals" mais tout francophone parle de "qualifs". Quand à remettre "replay" à la place de "ralenti", ça confine à la bétise (comme ne pas connaître la racine latine de video).
Ok, poor translation is certainly not a big issue. Let me add that the shortened form for "qualifications" in french has NEVER BEEN "quals" but "qualifs". Speak about ever making the same mistakes then. Most of the existing VG translations were done with screen contraints from english versions. Hopefully, LFS's interface deals quite well with multi-lingual display SO LET'S IMPROVE IT AND GO FOR VIDEO (which is latin for "I see", you moronic car sim players)

.an XF Turbo ?
Has anyone already posted for a "mid" XF between the GTI and the GTR ?
A good balance would be an XF-T with the body+chassis of the GTI, wider wheels and wheel wells and a 150-160 HP mill that would produce faster acceleration at mid-range. A tricky time-lagged turbo would be delightful.

French translation for the word "REPLAY"
This is not much of an improvement but the word RALENTI used to translate REPLAY actually means "slow motion" and could be changed to VIDEO (VIDEOS on the front page).
I hope that the guy in charge of the french translation would agree.

Live to Drive
After I red the last wishlist compilation, I came to think that the only extra I wish for my LFS experience would be to go out of the tracks and into a real-world driving experience. Let me explain this. Let's say that a big chunk of code turns actual roadmap data (the kind of vector data used in onboard GPS systems) into a giant "world" with lots of IA-controled cars and trucks and real "connected"' players. Pointless ? Considering a/ the price of gas and b/ my special fetish of driving while listening to music (stigiasis ???), this would be a wonderful game of it's own to go from one track to the other of drive all night from italy to England.
A 4-door XF for the wife would be nice too.
