The online racing simulator

Quote from Hyperactive :The same principle goes with the MRT. Just because it seems that those trucks are so different doesn't make them novelty.

Just out of curiosity: what is so bad with the trucks? I mean you seem to be so against them, which I personally can't understand . Trucks are certanly different from current LFS cars, but only by looks and size. Sure they have (IRL) that 160kph safety speed limit and big engines and some weird rules (like black smoke from engine -> retire) but I still can't think a race being boring or stupid with these cars.

I would have never wanted a car like FOX in LFS but after tried that I think it's one of the best cars in LFS. I am just saying that all car types deserve a chance and if the car is totally undriveable or boring the devs probably leave it out.

I personally have nothing against trucks but other things suggested like karts in LFS (OT starts here...). They hell-twitchy, no suspension and short wheelbase. Fun in real life, painful in virtual one. But as I haven't tried them in LFS I can't know that

I'm not against trucks. But on the scale of cool things to add to this sim trucks would be the last on my list. Trucks have WOW factor, "oh my god wouldn't it be fun to race trucks! WOW!". While people have already suggested truck racing umpteen times, karts, muscle cars, rally, dedicated drag cars, can am, historic etc have more support, are more popular and would be better suited to LFS. Many suggestions also for more class based racing. I don't know how many more cars people expect LFS to get in the future, but I predict that not all of these choices will come to light. So considering the workload on Eric and Scawen to model and code new vehicles in the future I'm hoping that trucks don't get in the way of many other suggestions which are perhaps less novel, less WOW! but ultimately more relevant to the sim and have their roots planted more deeply in motor racing history. Jet boats would be enormous fun too, but I wouldn't support those in front of the humble kart, for example.

So some people may be very happy suggesting trucks, Im just as happy to unsuggest it. It's just my view.
