I think that's a pretty accurate description of the car in question.

Quote from Ilpav :

As I said, each car should have their own slider that goes up to its own limit. For example, XF GTI has a tank that goes up to 45 L, so the slider would only go up to 45 L. If you choose the Formula V8 with a tank that holds 125 L, the slider would go to 125 L. Each car should have their own slider.

It would be a waste of time to make different sliders for all the cars. And if it wwould be a general slider then you couldn't adjust the amount of fuel in the smaller tanks as accurately.

A 45 litre tank is a full tank whether it's filled up to 100% or with 45 litres.

That would make things a bit easier for those who have a set for every track. And different sets for qualifying, short races and long races.

pasibrzuch, you can't beat tristan in an argument. So get over it.

Emergency brake is Notbremse in German so the E on the dash of a German car doesn't mean emergency. Besides that same light comes on if there is something wrong with your brakes.

"Moto" means this kind of vehicle to me. Atleast we call it a "moto" in Finnish.

Let us say the I was "A".
Why the hell would I want to spend my LFS time checking and adjusting your fuel and stuff? And why can't you do it yourself?

I don't think it differs much compared to falling from hitting one of those red and white barriers of interstellar travel.

Modern cars are fisher-price. Just look at them.

The air in the inlet is not any colder then the air outside the car.

One example.

lol plastic boots and bonnets? Doesn't plastic melt when you leave it over an engine lol?

If plastic inletmanifolds can hack it why not a bonnet?

You are supposed to get the grant BEFORE you make your conclusions public. Now it's free knowledge on the net and noone is going to pay you.

"Them!"?

Too big clue.

Them! it is.

Very many new cars have their body panels made out of plastic.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Not completely correct, getting the amount of detail LFS gives us would be a very tricky task, considering how in RL you'd only be able to measure surface temp, whereas LFS also gives us info about the rubber core temp.

From the surface temp and the air temp inside the tyre you can calculate an aproximation for the core temp. It's not spot on but gives you an idea.

It has ants in it.

Is it too difficult? Need more clues?

Quote from DeMS :

To complete it all, it would be a nice touch if after the race, you would get a report of what has failed or what degree of damage did every/most/most important parts of the car get, to improve people's driving.

When engine damage is included in LFS this is the way I would want it shown.

About the tyre temps in on-line racing. To know the temperature and pressure of the air inside the tyre, while on the move, is cheap and easy. To get a general temp of the tyre surface is quite cheap and easy. To get detailed temperature information about specific areas of the tyre is expensive but quite easy.
IMO (which might just be crap) the GTR cars and the faster SS cars should have the fully detailed temp readings. The road cars can do fine without.
Off-line or practising I would like to have all the data because it helps setting the car up.
I like the idea about seeing the temps only while pitting.

@tristan
Is radio communication and telemetry really that rare in racing?
I'm actually quite shocked by this.

Quote from flymike91 :

but a lot of racing cars have ground effect kits, front lip spoilers etc.

So do the race cars in LFS the UFR, XFR, FXR, FZR and XRR. As those already have the kits I can only assume people who post these things want them on the road cars. On them these kits would be a bit pointless.

For an example: Take the XRR and limit the power-to-weight ratio as close to the XRT as you can. Plus add a hundred pounds for the wikkid bodykit. Adjust the aero angles to the max. Then drive it around.

Must be a wikkid ride innit.

Yes, and we all know what it's for.

LOL!

Inouva you are one mean mofo. I salute you!

Well blended passes for baking. My wife makes this delicious cheesecake that has whiskey in it. Unfortunately she will only make it for my birthdays.

The summer before last, when I was in Scotland, I bought a bottle of 10yo Glen Grant. A bit too cherryish for my taste but still very good.

What about my avatar?

And Barry is "amis" in Finnish. They "tune" their rustbuckets with multiple wings and stupid bodykits and other wank.

Hey emo! Go cry to someone who cares.

Don't you dare! If you do I'll come to your house and force feed it to you. Through your nose!
No blended crap for me please.

I would say the opposite. In a FWD the engine brakes the front wheels and the hand brake the rear wheels.

In a RWD the engine might prevent the rears from locking up.

Heard that one a little different. Instead of a wheelchair the old man had a Lada.
