Well, lets take the boost button away from discussion, ok? I added it really mostly for fun, it is not worthy of notice.. What about the main question of topic?
Sorry, if somebody misunderstood me, but I know how air flow works and I know (WOW!!!) that slipstream is a real effect. We talking here just about "the amount and the distance where slipstream begins" (I quoted it from my first message).
Yep, I've really called the boost button an "addition" to my suggestion, just because the fixing of aerodynamics bug will cause dissatisfaction from people who like to overtake by slipstream bug.
We hear from every quarter: "..It's so sad to watch open-wheels swapping places with each other because of increased slipstream effect.. And that's what they call 'close racing'.."
Others say: "..It's so sad to see that open-wheels can't keep up with the car in front because of too much decreasing of downforce.."
So, I have suggestion (especially for open-wheels):
Correct the amount and the distance where slipstream begins for the purpose of:
keeping up with the car in front of you in fast turns like the last turn at SO5 (before the start-finish straight);
avoiding mighty flight-shots from behind the car in front of you on straights;
And in addition:
Implement boost button like in several open-wheel series to increase horsepower by 20-30 for some seconds. This feature would be good with possibility of server-side restriction with several options (no boost, boost 1-10 times per race, boost whenever you want).
This combination will benefit both people who want more overtakings and people who want more realism.
I use trackir with lfs just to turn my head left and right for observing opponents. I disabled all another axises and set big deadzone to the yaw-axis to have some freedom at the nearly central position of my head. And I like it at all!!!
TrackIR is really good for me JUST to look left and right. In my profile I disabled pitch axis at all and set big deadzone to the yaw axis not to be disturbed by a little head turns. So, it works great for me! I don't wanna pitch, roll and 3 transition axises is LFS at all. And the centering button I binded to the wheel through the wheel profile. So easy.
I think he looked at LFSW hotlaps.. I run in about 1-2 seconds from WR at the long tracks, but I don't upload my times to LFSW. Nobody warned me about somebody will pick people to that "leagueueue" by some hotlaps or something else..
You had to warn us in the first post about that you'll pick drivers to YOUR discretion,*poster walks around with his head down kicking rocks, Or you had to send email to people that don't match your interests! Because people have their own plans for leagues.
P.S. Don't touch me when drivers start to fall out of the main league, skunk.
Edit by Fonnybone: Let's try and not cross over to insults please, thanks.
I don't wanna give the link to downloading my hotlap (I know this way), but I wanna, for example, give to somebody link to the hotlaps of UF1000 at the Aston National, you see..
And I didn't understood tip 3 from "Tips". This text: "If you want to be able to link to a certain window / tab here on LFS World, you can get the URL of that window by clicking in the window menu (top-left window icon), right-click 'Link url' and select 'Copy Shortcut' or 'Copy Link Location' or anything similar, depending on which browser you use."
What is the "window menu (top-left window icon)"? I have IE6.0. How can I get the URL of the exact window/tab?
