Sure it is possible, check for the formula in Game Stock Car, it feels really beliveable for me. Also some people say that the Skip Barber in rF2 seems to have a really close feeling compared with the real one, at least the telemetry is spot on.

Anyway, I've not tried to make a formula for myself, if I get all the data I probably could do one. I will work soon on the Radical SR3 and SR8, the data is all available and will give it a try. For now it is the most close thing to a formula that I will do.

'70 Chevy Camaro Z28, Honda Integra DC5, Toyoa Prius, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, VW Golf Mk2, de Tomaso Pantera, to mention few of them.

But most of all cars are private mods cause conversions from other games (as said, I'm more focused on physics). I wanted to know how some of the cars I like could feels in real life and I was not much satisfied with the actual modding scene. At first time I though rFactor sucks at all until I started researching how to manage physics.

Quote from vitaly_m :

Moreover, whenever someone dares to talk about it, some people start to whine that this will make LFS loaded with crap like <some other sim name here>...

In fact that's what happens with rFactor and Assetto Corsa actually. People simply don't know how to properly model physics. I managed to get around 600 cars for rFactor and only two of them where made with proper physics. I'm talking about add the real data from the real car in the physics files. I think most of the people use to fill the physics files just making random dice rolls. It is not that hard to make a decent research and make a physics file complete to make the car feel good. I have made cars in rF that feels like LFS, just making physics allright.

Hi

I've been playing LFS this afternoon after so many years and I've been enjoying like never! Also I laughted watching these "where is the Scirocco and Rockingham?" threads in the forum, never gets old
I have a LFS license since 2005 and I played the demo some more time before then. I stopped playing LFS around five years ago and started modding for rFactor (specially for physics), just to have some more options. Now I'm playing Assetto Corsa (absolutely cr**p) and rFactor 2 (nice) mostly as them are the newer sims, and I've been playing Iracing also for several months. I think lot of you guys have been doing the same since these years.

After all these years playing other stuff and comparing all them with LFS now I still think LFS is unique in its nature. I still feel LFS forcefeedback like no other and physics still feel absolutely brilliant and natural. The online experience is still superb and the netcode is still top notch, and the guys from the servers are still gentlemanly in most cases compared to other sims...

As much of you guys I've been annoyed too realizing how slow the LFS development is, but now that I have played lot of stuff these years I must say I feel grateful about this great piece of old software that is still rocking like no other.

So... I wanted to ask. Have I lost something apart from the new Oculus integration and the new Westhill WIP? What are the known future plans?

And another question, is it confirmed if the S3 will be moddeable? Since I've been modding for rF my dream is to be able to do the same for LFS.

Just to finish this post, Scawen, here is my hat off. My sincere congratulations for this fine absolutely great simulator and a bunch of thanks for let me enjoy it these years.

Best regards,

BerScott.

Quote from col :

LFS = niche product.
Many lfs users are not 'gamers' and do not need a high end modern PC for most of what they do. If the devs make LFS only run on a modern gaming PC, they lose these non-gamer users.
They have limited resources, so they have to make a decision: put resources into making it work on low end machines, or put resources into maxing out the graphics capabilities of high end gaming PC's
When you consider that if they lose the non-gamers, they might not make a living from this niche product, that decision is a no-brainer.

What is it about this that you don't understand?

I stopped playing LFS when the number of grid slots increased and it got too much for my old Athlon XP1800+. I haven't had a PC since that machine died because I inherited a macbook which does everything else I need. I'll be getting a new PC in the near future for digital audio which should be good enough for LFS , but I would never buy one specifically for 'gaming'. So, I'll only play games that will work on whatever PC I happen to have for other reasons.
It might be difficult for a 'gamer' to understand, but the only reason the majority of people would ever need to upgrade their PC these days is that the old one broke, or Micro$haft artificially increase the requirements with a new windows version to perpetuate the upgrade cycle.
LFS needs to work within this reality.

So we are in 2012 and cars should fly.

Oh well!

Quote from Speed Soro :

Drift is a way without back. Once the physics of the game allows drifting, people will drift... young people love drift you know.

There is a way to avoid people ask for track or other drift things: make a weird physics such RF which does not permit drift an these people will say goodbye...

Young people? what are you talking about man?

In the spanish community people are over 25 - 30 years old. Those guys are too young for you?. You guys don't know nothing about drifting, if you don't meet another sport, please SHUT UP. :bananadea

If young people open suggestion or request post, happends with race request too.

Quote from masternick :

dont like drift? dont click on the drift threads, zomg that was hard

Simply

Stop burning our heads ricers!

This is a racing, this is a racing... this is a SIMULATION, and the physics can be used for racing and drifting. I don't know what's happening with drift, but is a motorsport, how truck race, sprint race, openwheels race.

If you don't like drift, i'm sorry, but people like truck racing, and muscle cars. Why no drift?. We are talking about simulation, please.

I'm getting tired too about requesting post, but IMO people like motorsports and are so much kind of. If people choose a simulator is for physics, not another reason.

Sorry for my bad english

Quote from Forbin :

The devs did when they called it an "Online Racing Simulator". The fact you can drift if you so choose is merely a side effect of the realistic physics and is neither supported or endorsed by the devs.

Is a simulator, and whoy not?

Traction control will no longer be legal in Formula One racing from the start of next season. The change is just one of a number to the 2008 regulations agreed by the teams and FIA at a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council earlier this week.

Now F1 will be more interesting for me. Leave coments.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

:riceboy: Sorry But thats what i think

Yes, me too

ooh! i like!!

No faster but very safety on road

Muchisimas gracias me encanta toyota y no pude resistirme a pedir una request de este TRD. Ojala tuviera la mano que tienes para hacer skins.

Date un garbeillo por nuestra comunidad en mi firma y nos dejas algun regalito.


Saludos y de nuevo gracias por el trabajo!.

if you wanna be a Demo Racer...

Very nice pack! D1GP fan thk u

Nice req. I like it. Waiting for release

Sometimes I play music racing. I like rock and metal, Meshuggah gives the agressive touch when drifting.:smash3d::bannana_g:rock_band:iagree:

More people · more resources = best live for speed
