Is there a schedule for:
- Brake's heating modeling
- Engine's heating modeling
- Better colisions
- Filter for drift servers

or there isn't?

I ask just because:

- Brakes are an important part of the race. A little change in the brake system and the lap time will down. Of course everyone knows, but it looks like anyone matters.

- Engines explode. They shouldn't be able to work at high speeds all the time without penalty. They need water, and water boils.

- It is not too much realistic flying without wings, and 80hp is not enough power to launch a tourism car to the 4th floor.

- It would be faster and useful do not see these rooms, at least 50% faster... once there are 5 drift servers for each 10 open.
I'm sure the devs are working on these and other issues, but since unless the devs come out themselves and tell everybody, there's no telling when anything is released. If I recall correctly, Scawen said in one of his test patch posts that collision updates are going to be implemented before LFS loses its alpha tag.

That would be an advance. I'd like to see engine and brake heating.
Brakes don't vary in the majority of racing seen in LFS, so your argument isn't valid. I doubt there is a schedule, but it'll be nice when it comes.

Engines don't explode. Yes, water boils, but race cars have radiators. I doubt there is a schedule, but it'll be nice when it comes.

Detachable parts will come one day. 80hp is plenty enough to launch a car to the 4th floor.

Filtering drift and cruise so that normal people can't see them would be great though!!!

I doubt there is anything we can think of in the realm of realism that the developers haven't thought of yet. Trying to put a schedule to creative implementation of features isn't IMO respectful of LFS's history of "when it works the way we want it to" from the developers perspective. But do to your clutch heating rant, I don't think you get this. And if when/if these features are put in LFS I would imagine you would just once again complain. As far as Drift servers go, I normally try to use my common sense and it is enough. If there was an official mode called Drift in LFS they could filter it. Drifting in LFS is not the intention of the developers, rather style of driving implemented by the server participants. Being a style it is difficult to measure and define technically enough for server to know what it should label itself. In Gran Turismo 1, the ability to drift in game was referred to by the PolyPhony developers as "The Miracle" because it wasn't the intention for it to be possible but the physics allowed it to happen.

Do you want to know what I really think??

Without even using search button I can tell you there are plenty of topics regarding the subjects you are referring on other boards. I would start with the Improvements Suggestions section if I where you. Your recent activity on these forums has been rude and shows poor lack in judgment and more then likely a personality disorder with the need to argue and start fights. If you don't believe me, just look at this post you inspired me to write. This is worse then when Tristan gets the urge to beat up on some 14 year old for requesting Dubz and ground effects on the XRT or FXO. You know you like doing this Tristan .. admit it... j/k.

What do i know though? I work in a cube and haven't own anything IRL that could be counted as a performance vehicle since 1996. Not to mention I've never even been to a race track. But I did drive by the Texas Motor Speedway one time. I've gotta start staying at the Holiday Inn Express....

I really must agree with Jay. As I said in another thread..
Quote from SamH :It sometimes seems like people CHOOSE to be ignorant of the facts that Scawen has put into the community, just so they can have a whinge.

I think this is a case in point. I think the opening post is utterly disingenuous, and is really yet another opener to another whinge about the speed and/or extent of LFS development.

I took a few minutes to review your posting history, Speed Soro, right back to 2005. Anyone else that did so would be left in absolutely no doubt that this thread is just more pure, unadulterated trolling from you, with no other purpose but to try to undermine the community in general. I'm closing it.
