Argh, forget it. Was an illusion.

Edit: Ignore this garbage.

I understand the shift point is calculated and the red light goes on when torque x rpm is higher in next gear then current.
What about the last gear (most cars 6th)? The light is also shining in the last gear. How is this calculated?

New LX Sound files. It think this sound profile fit these cars perfect as pure driving machines.

Quote from axus :

I actually can't think of a 1.8l straight six offhand, that would sound like an LX6, even in another non-louts 7 car. And I can't find a matching lotus replica or caterham. Perhaps the closest would be a BMW 320i E36 - I think those are pretty common in Lotus 7's, after some tuning... any ideas?

If you are looking to the design and the specs of the LXs, to closest Seven replicas you will find are westfields.

The LX4 is mostly like this: http://www.westfield-sportscars.de/20.htm
The LX6 counterpart is this: http://www.westfield-sportscars.de/25.htm

The displacement of both engines is a bit smaller in LFS.

BTW. I also found replicas with V8 and even V12 :-)

Quote from DaveWS :

Hehe, not sure how this is constructive in any way, but listen to these.

Your LX sound is very, very good! Much more aggressiv with the distortion then the current smooth sound. This is a good way to this real sound:

With Test Patch U30 you can see if you are at full throttle. There is a tiny white bar on the top of the throttle, clutch and brake indicator.

Maybe this can help to find calibration problems.

What about a paypal account for the licence cost of the Nordschleife?

I tought if you buy the licence you also get details of track data.

Happy birthday. :yipee: You should turn off your computer for today and celebrate.

Another very very enjoyable broadcast

The thing that made it so much better then the last release was the count down signs.
Becky was using my coloured count down signs pure leetness!

I call this signs cheating. In the heat of the battle this is an advantage.

Anyway. Very good and exciting video.

Just a dream...

Quote from JeffR :

The LX6 is weak at 190hp, however, the aerodynamics aren't quite right, allowing a top speed of 160mph, compared to the 200hp Caterham with a top speed of 140mph. Even the 260hp Caterham only has a top speed of 155mph.

Did you tested this with factory gear settings?

Quote from wark :

http://www.conceptcarz.com/veh ... light%20R400/default.aspx 525kg 210 horse not that bad.

Nice.
But also nice translation error. I think 140 mph is right not 140 km/h.

Quote from wark :

Well, okay. Half of those engines are still bigger, and I think LFS tracks and physics can definitely handle them.

This cars are heavy, but impressive . The performance win is not that big. The LXs are, like Caterhams, very lightweight. I like the good balance between weight and power.

Sure the LX8 would be fun. Somebody knows how much weight the LX8 had in S1? I'm a post S1 LFS owner.

This is not true. Take a look here: http://www.caterham.co.uk/showroom/index.htm

Starting at 105 bhp up to 260. But you find serveral other replicas which more than 200 bhp. Like:
HKT http://www.hkt-7.de/
Donkervoort http://www.donkervoort.nl/
RBC http://www.rcb7.de/fahrzeuge/index.php
Rush http://www.rush-sportwagen.de/
VM http://www.vm-77.de/
or Westfield (you are american )
etc.

Funny, Audis, which are loosing the hood all the time. Can't wait for future LFS versions where this will most likely possible.

For german LFS-Fans Now, DTM live at ARD...

Sorry, I didn't mentioned. The setup is based on easy going from Bob. Thanks for that and also thanks for the setup guide.

Hi,
I want to share my LX6 setup. Maybe someone want to try it. Would be nice if we can discuss it.
I like this setup because it is very easy to drive. Easy means also fun. Because for beginners it is nice, if you stay on course as much as possible. There is no problem to catch the car, if it starts bending.

Maybe you try it at Blackwood or Aston. For braking at downhill, like the most South City tracks require, it should be a little bit softer. If you like more oversteer set rear anti roll bar a little bit lower.

But I fear this setup is not the fastest one. Or, my driving isn't that good.

Quote from Qurpiz :

Not to forget the cute little penguins roaming the streets here.

Nordic penguins? illepall

Quote from Bob Smith :

The Easy Race setups (not to be confused with Road Going setups) have not been updated for patch U, so will not be that fast - they understeer too much. Also they are not configured for any specific track.

Keep at it.

Just eat your setup guide. Nice piece of work! Thanks for this!

I managed to break 53:00 today! But I see much room for faster times! I had a little bit fear at the first fast corner and braked to much. It's very difficult to come cleanly out of this turn. Much oversteer if your are early on throttle.

Guess, there is something wrong with my english, ehm?

Delete please, I posted again in beginners forum.

Thanks.
