*Sorry if this has been discussed before, couldn't find it*

Being new to S2 (thanks to you know who you are ) and slowly coming to grips with FZR on Aston, I'm wondering about the availability of an adjustable front wing on this and other closed wheel race cars (FXO GTR and XR GTR).

From the look of things, these vehicles only have a front splitter that's pretty much fixed in its inclanation angle. I'm assuming these cars are modeled after LeMans/ALMS GT1 & GT2 classes and I don't think those car feature front wing adjustments either. I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong here!

So while I appreciate the setup flexibility that an adjustable front wing gives, I'm wondering if this option should even be there. Not trying to stir another "LFS is/isn't realistic" debate, but I'd like to know what you guys think about it.

Cheers,

After all these doping scandals?

Doping or no doping, the amount of physical effort that goes into racing for hours on end on a bike (especially on climbs) is really quite incredible. It takes enormous commitment and dedication to pursue that for a living, and that deserves respect in my book.

Make no mistake, I don't applaud doping at all, but if that's the name of the game these days, if you're a competitive racer you pretty much have no choice but to do it.

:ices_rofl congrats on the win and heal soon!

I'm a cyclist to a certain extent, but to be honest, I find watching cycling rather boring. I have massive respect for what those guys are doing out there, but the show just doesn't grab me. I'd rather be riding myself.

So.............. !?

Looking good there!

A replica of the Muehlner Motorsport Porsche Carrera Cup. Lots of shapes and lines, took quite some time to align properly and get them as close to the original as possible. Hope you guys like it.

Great skin, thanks!

Thanks alot! Now I can use it, too

Congrats Tristan, well done!

Gekkibi - I think that the reverse layout has been disabled in demo since patch Y. But I agree that BL1R would be a lot more interesting to drive on. I like the forced cockpit view idea too.

Quote from Gekkibi :

I plan to make/beg someone to make a video using replay-files. One reason for that "surname on skin" is to have interesting details in video.

And one thing I didn't mentioned before: There is going to be safety car on standby...

Good idea about the safety car, maybe even a pace car for the first lap? But how would you get it to run if all 12 slots would be filled by race drivers?

Gongrats, Scawen and best of luck raising the next generation of LFS racers

Hi Gekkibi,

I think I'd be interested in giving this a shot. I'm not all that quick, to be honest, but I really like the idea of a long race with (hopefully) serious racers. Thanks for setting this up!

You all know how it is - crashes happen all the time, x2 if you're on demo servers. I've seen more spectacular accidents, but this one was pretty interesting, more so since I took part in it myself. This is my second video, btw. I'm having some fps issues in places, but it's a 4th render and I'm getting pretty fed up with it, so here it is.

Youtube

Thanks for watching, comments welcome

Another killer vid from unokeva. Just brilliant stuff, man! Heck, even end credits are worth watching. Keep it up!!

suhweeeeeeet! thanks a bazillion, lfs devs! Looks like I'll have to get an S2 afterall

That's how I drive in LFS when I'm fueled for 5 laps and the race goes for 7

Here's your #2 "a bit touched up"

LOL, he should wait the year out and hone his (s)kills in LFS with a keyboard

Quote from Racer556 :

like it, but you should try separing the background in different parts that need different blur angles... just an advice

Thanks for the advice, I was too lazy

Great stuff, love it!

one more edit

yeah...

No name, no game would be my comment for this thread.

btw, [d9] runs the best demo server. Alot of licenced racers go there for a close XRT@BL1 racing. Still not sure if he want's to tell us something with the server name "pink", but emmm...yeah.

what's the name of that server, if you don't mind sharing?


also, I was on a demo server (duh!) yesterday and an unnamed user got banned pretty much right after joining. I should say that in my experience, almost all unnamed racers were either crashers or really slow drivers with no idea about blue flags...which often makes them crashers anyway. I should also say that the server that I was on had a really nice skilled crowd at that time and the last thing we wanted is somebody wrecking the race.

Hooooooooly! :jawdrop:

Only bugger is the reflection on the side of the car (I'd expect mountains of some sort there) and the taillights look a little weird, if you will. Other than that, its effin' amaaaazing!

Wait a second...so S2 has the same blue flag spam problem as the Demo? Heck, I'm not getting S2 then
