Ghost cars?
as many of you im sure know other racing games show a transparent copy of your last lap in practise so that you can improve times/see where to go faster.
i think this would be of great help partically in hot lapping and testing new setups.......idea?
There was a mod for this. But, in my opinion, it's totally against the spirit of hotlapping and LFS. You can't do it in real life. In hotlapping it should be about the skill of learning, applying and practice, not just copying someone a bit quicker than you over and over again...

I don't think it'll ever be implemented in LFS by Scawen, but Kegetys' mod might work for you.
ur right its notthat realistic
but because i drive with the keybord + mouse i cannot feel any difference - i can only see it so having a ghost could help

You also can't see a green & red Line on track to show you the brake Point & the racing line in Racing Line

do you think that all thinks you said it will never see in LFS are all here now.

e.g. F1, Real Car, Racing Line, physics improve......

It's well known you have the intelligence of a fish, so I suppose I need to reply to this...

I assume you mean "Do you realise that all the things you said we'll never see in LFS are all here now. e.g. F1 car, real cars, racing line, physics improvement etc"

F1 car - nope, didn't see that coming, although I suspected we'd see a generic F1 car at some point later in LFS's life. I still suspect we'll see an older style generic F1 car at some point in the future.

Real cars - The MRT was the first real car, so I knew it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility. I have never said we'll never see real cars, but I do believe we'll never see over 99.999% of the stupid suggestions of specific cars that are mentioned either in the 'cars we want to see in S3' thread, or the myriad of threads you've made regarding dull, but specific cars.

Racing line - didn't see it coming, and disappointed it's here. But fortunately it's not perfect, and it's not dynamic, so it's of little use to anyone but the shittest of noobs.

Physics Improvements - Woah there buddy... LFS is ALL about the physics, and time after time we've had to point out to people it's an ongoing thing, with lots of development in the future.

So, before you attempt to be funny or sarcastic, do a little background reading, and pay attention to my beliefs about LFS, before making stuff up. Thanks.

Actually you can now, in single player just press "4"
Doesnt a company own the rights to "ghost car" and they actually sued many game developers a year or two ago...

A shame though, cos it was real fun taking on myself with Kegetys' mod
