I can see all the threads about how LFS is sUCK when they make the grass, fake or not, slippery and bumpy.

But I would really like it if the grass wasn't so forgiving. More bumps, less traction.

Weren't weight penalties suggested a few years back?

That list has these tracks two times:
SO1
SO1r
SO2
SO2r
SO3
SO3r
FE1
FE1r
AS1
AS1r
AS2
AS2r

CTRA is full of teams.

Check this: http://www.raceauthority.com/topTeams.asp

It does that so you would more likely send them money to get it to download instantly.

If you know any other filesharing services that are free and easy to use. Tell me.

The GTR cars have the digital one too.

Quote from LineR32 :

Did this movie have Arnie in it?

Is it The Villain?

We have a winner.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080097/

Also know as Cactus Jack.

So that's why I poped up in the first row even after removing myself from the grid and rejoining further down. Someone from the front swapped places with me?

I did.

The mpr file is on rapidshare.

Hope it works.

Anybody?

Or do you need hints?

Wasn't there some league that had models for prizes?
I think they got them painted according to the skin of the winner.
It was a single-seater. Maybe it was either the BF1 or the FBM. I quess both have already been made into models as they are real cars.

I wouldn't mind owning a scale model of some LfS car.

Actually many modern cars, especially the hybrid ones, Shut down the engine when you stop. It starts up again as you press the accelerator to start moving again.

Heaven knows what this does to your starter/battery/lubrication etc.
Nothing very good I assume.

So for LFS to be realistic it should automatically start the engine when you press the accelerator.

This boulder scene was in Indiana Jones too.

The War of the Worlds

The original.

Edit: Forgot a "the"

I like the current LFS cars, It's the tracks I'm getting tired of. We need some more tracks...

I knew I'd seen the movie by the first picture but only got it from the second.

Thank you all for your input.

Ian, it's for automotive engineering. I'll get some cradits from it. I'm gonna be an engineer... well sometime in the future anyway. 30 and studying...

Quote from Hyperactive :

By drive axle, what do you actually need to design, march hare?

I'll get the details next week but as far as I know now the whole shebang.

From diff to hub. Good thing I'm on a driveline cource right now.

The two important things are:

1. weight
   
2. weight

Well cost is there somewhere but...

That's what I thought. Steel tube is the only solution that makes sense. Have get some info about alloys though.

The weight reduction that is gained by using tube instead of rod is huge! It can be 50%!

In Finland it is illegal to have your engine idle longer than 2 minutes. 4 if the temperature is below -15 centigrade.

So atleast to us finns it is realistic that the car doesn't idle that long.

The auto_idle_cut has only affected me after race or while chatting.

So not a problem while racing. And as you all should know LfS is a racing sim.

I think I'll go with the CF. This is supposed to be a sports car so it must be light.

How is the elasticity of CF?

Maybe I'll just use some steel tube. Or maybe titanium!

Maybe not titanium because it's supposed to be a limited edition sports car. Only a few hundered produced but still affordable. For the rich enthusiast atleast.

I have to design the drive axles for a sports car.

I'll be getting the details next week but for now it seems I have to do the lot. From calculating the stresses and simulation to selecting the materials. I don't have to do the actual machining but that's about it.

Has any of you had a similar project? Any help would be appreciated.

You are just full of it.
Atleast one of your friends has got to have a credit card. And earning a measily 36e is a piece of pie.

Or go answer DK's voucher thread.

Hell yes! for bumpy grass.

Don't know about the Nauruvians language pack. Are there many LfSers on Nauru?

Apart from the RX tracks and BL1R (the yellow issue) aren't all those tracks in the rotation?
