Quote from s01id :When talking about demo, S2 users always mention that "demo" means "demonstration". Alright, so the problem seems to be in that word ("demo"). If the demo was named e.g. "S0", would it still be a problem? Because it wouldn't be a demonstration anymore. It would just be free content.

very good point.

Quote from richo :Spot on.

After months of use you know you enjoy it please pay the guys that made it , its not the fact that i paid and you didnt its the fact that you should support the guys that have worked hard to make the thing.

delray25 this isn't a demo flame war at all, i just wanted peoples opinions. sorry your offended.

Demo users plz note, you are most welcome to use the the S0 cargame.nl demo server.

just wanted to know what demo users and S users thought.

our forums for demo are here:

no offence intended

Admin plz lock thx

ok i just like to start by saying this is not a demo hater thread, i'm a member of cargames.nl and we have a popular server for demo users to use.

i used demo for a few "years" back in the day, and because i was impressed bought the game got more content and the devs got alittle pay rise aswell lol.

my question is this. demo is like s0 if you will..... you can play as long as you want with 3 cars and one track (iirc). people play it for years, and even tho demo players in some cases do go on the buy the game and support the devs and development, some dont. they have played for years will continue too.

so.... should the demo version be restricted so once people have tried and tested lfs they have to buy to continue to play?

limited number of laps / time maybe?

again not a demo flame, just wanted to know peoples opinions. after all DEMO is demo.

Quote from cargame.nl :Special thanx to John Hilton, our driver during the weekend.

Managed to catch our plane just in time. And I really mean -just- in time.

Because I putted my harddisks in my hand luggage with my pillow it got a special bomb check as well

Rudolfa was amazed that I do almost everything to delay a flight LOL

A big thanks for Jason of course for arranging the weekend... Really enjoyed it!

LOL OMG!

Quote from Bob Smith :First lets consider what's happening:

A locked diff does not ever permit tyres to rotate at different angular velocities. When driving round a corner in a car, the inside and outside wheels will travel different distances, so if they were allowed to free wheel, the inside wheel would rotate slower. Also weight transfer would put more load on the outside wheel, squishing it further, making the rolling radius smaller, further increasing the difference in free rolling angular velocities between inside and outside tyres.

As the wheels are not free rolling, this creates a slip ratio in the tyres when cornering. If no torque is being sent from the engine to the wheels, then this will be a negative slip ratio from the outside tyre (as it will be turning too slow), and a positive slip ratio from the inside tyre (it will be turning too fast).

These slip ratios create forces; how much depends on the braking stiffnesses of the two tyres (assuming the friction limit of the tyres is not breached). This force is negative for the outside wheel and positive for the inside wheel, these sum to create a torque in the opposite direction to that created by steering the car into the turn. So the car will not change direction as quickly, as the yaw torque will be reduced.

This reduction in yaw torque is the main reason cars are slower in tight bends with a locked diff (the smaller the radius of turn, the greater the proportion of the track width to turn radius, and thus the greatest slip ratios are produced when cornering).

So friction is not usually the limiting factor when it comes to tyre scrub caused by a locked diff, and even if it were wrong in LFS, it shouldn't be wrong by more than a few percent; not enough to explain the issues.

If the braking stiffness of the tyres was too low, however, the same slip ratios would give less longitudinal force, thus less yaw torque to slow the cars rotation, and thus less penalty for using one.

Braking stiffness is a very dynamic property, varing with load, tyre pressure, and slip angle, so my first point of suspicion would be that something is causing it to be too low.

that just fried my brain, but has to be the best answer i've ever read

Quote from franky500 :would he not be better to tube it to heathrow to jump in your car BreadC?

His other alternative is to take the train like me!.

@Cargame yes public transport is not great at all, I was just letting you know there is an option even if nobody can drive you.

yeah he'll get there lots of us with planes trains and fxrs
