Quote from Scawen :

Is that really true? If that is true, then clearly LFS must be very far behind all the other sims by now. But I don't feel it is.

I think that when you work with a large team, you can sometimes progress at a good rate, for some time, as long as there is a lot of good morale in the company (and that is not a consistent thing). But later, as different people's code gets interwoven with other people's, and some others leave the company, and the new guy can't see what's what, and redevelops his section from scratch, and some things can't be updated because they affect too many areas and the company needs to call meetings all the time to try to figure out what's going on... finally they aren't progressing so fast any more.

Sometimes game development houses can actually go backwards. They can work on something for two years and what they have at the end is worse than what they started with. It's very hard to see how LFS can go backwards, because there aren't any other programmers to leave. And that's why LFS continues to go forwards while the development of other games and sims can sometimes just slow down or stop.

There's more...

Quote from Tweaker :

I dunno... LFS has one of the easiest systems for managing both the skin and setups, I don't know why this person would have a problem with it. I guess the author could only explain it better.

Actually, one way to improve the setup selection and storing would be to have one folder for each track(track as a whole, aston, kyoto, bl, and so on). Or mayby you could define the folders yourself.

So you would only be seeing contents of one folder at a time, and not ALL the setups for that specific car. And of course you could copy and move the setups around between the folders.

Example:

Main(defaults&generic sets)
|
|-Aston -> sets for all Aston layouts
|-Blackwood
|-SouthCity
|-Hotlap -> hotlap setups
|-Rally -> Rally setups
|-Autocross
|-etc....

I can whole heartedly agree with the post by Richard

I'll drive if there is still space left

Requested by [dSRC]BOGEY, here is my XRG set for the autocross.

With minor tweaks and a faster driver it'll do low 1:59 for sure.

Did this really need to be a whole new thread?

Looks great!

Can't wait to get some more

After being S1 licensed since August 2004..

I'm still here! and not going anywhere

:inq:


PS. Hopefully somebody sees the humor in this

Just go into your hotlaps list(Racer details tab in hotlaps window)

And select del for that illegal lap

If you watched the presentation video available at audi's website, in the press conference they said they will possibly see an advantage of 2, or mayby even 3 laps more for a fuel run compared to gasoline cars.

From the feedback given in this thread, I have made a signature which hopefully will make life easier

So, at an undisclosed irc channel an idea stirred up.

What if Tristancliffe would stop posting 1 post per minute and move near Scawen, so he could finish the kitchen project that has taken so much of Scawen's valuable development time. :rolleyes:

This would have many implications, for starters it would lower the bandwidth usage of the forums and most importantly give Scawen more time to relax and concentrate on LFS physics, while Tristan finishes the kitchen renovation.:goodvibes

Hurray!

Hope we get some more of these soon

Quote from Thorvertonian :

any chance of uploading the layout?

Maybe give us a chance to run it on other servers

open the .mpr, and then in the layout menu(shift+u), u can save the layout currently open in the replay

That looks intresting, I will drop by if I spot that server

Btw, could you post the layout file so I can test it offline, and not have to stay up late being in Europe

Edit: Doh, I'll get it from the replay file :P

Quote from MiniVan :

Could someone make a rally good WRX STi set or a Mitsubishi Evolution Eight Set? or seven or below dont matter.... i cant seem to get it right.

Here is what I came up with. Power, torque and weight are just about right. I also made a setup with the gear ratios(changed diffs too) from the real thing(couldn't get 6 gears somewhy) Used the Hard Track as base, don't have any real setup values available now, tho the figures look something they might be irl.

Added a preset for fxr, some 800+ HP 4liter flat-12 It sounds fantastic

So, when can we expect the next ones to come out?

I'm stunned with amazement. Thats some real nice base gradients you have there!

I might be able to use one or two in the future, but I'll write here asking for your permission to use them in rfactor.
