Those autograss buggies can be bought for 4000

you can buy something like that ready to assemble engine for 5000£ *

You can pretty much buy the chassis / wish bones / etc for one of those buggies for ^^ said price, including the engine.

Can you link me that? I especially interested in transmission, rear axle, differential?

Quote from thezero :

Seriously guys, can you be that Lazy to even complain about how hard is it to choice reflections? I wouldn't dare to do that, after all the hard work Lynce put into it, to be honest.

I personally have chosen Generic ones. Anyway, i dont think that either of choices is bad, so just pick one.

cmon - if Lynce put so much effort in it I would like to know what do I miss if I dont notice some differences. In case of reflections it could be really awesome if you find that ie. windows in what buildings reflect surroundings - I usually dont notice it driving but in replay thats awesome (I wish that in all the buildings :tilt.

and get replay analyzer to compare the results

Quote from boothy :

It's funny, we did random combos with a few races at each on Sunday, and left the server open to noobs, of which quite a few joined, plus those who were a bit laggy. Ok it was sometimes a mess at first but after a couple of races people were sensible enough, giving room and receiving enough room back, meaning good racing.

I miss a lot such servers with permanent events. As I dont have time to practice for a regular league I really welcome such events to join.

Quote from brandons48 :

Haha, That's nice! I did a similar thing quite a while back.

yes, it's mine, is a fusion of tororosso and brawn gp. Thank

I made this image for the contest, but I think I arrive late



sorry for my english

Oli, if you can find any design of the buggy (I know that where popular there are quite universal designs with many mounting places) - better use it. I had detailed manual for donor car, but many parts were still on car when designing - I had many parts that werent measured properly, some mountings werent shown in the manual, so improvisation was constant part If you get a bike as donor you should have all the wiring also.

I thought autograss middle-engined with light bike engine is quite well balanced (I got real rear-engined car, so now with no mass in-front, I put there battery, spare wheel and 30kg of concrete steel - it has COG about 85% weight on rear :tilt. So now I get it with whole front body (maybe even some mounting places can be used) from a car in higher classes :doh:

Previuosly I meant that suspension is designed for dedicated mass to fit frequencies - therefore in fact springs and dumpers wont get stiffer, but suspension - yes, it would have smaller frequencies with smaller mass. Well I wouldnt dare to make moving suspension parts (I wouldnt trust its durability) so I wish you good results with your desing and job done

Quote from oli17 :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... TL&videos=44ZBQ_Ltkp4 sorry to keep reposting this but its sorta what we're basing our design on. would a pickup have suspension/brakes etc like this?

Usually suspension is selfmade in such construction (double wishbones front and rear). Springs and dumpers have to be fit individually - if you are going to make really offroad machine remember that buggy would be half or more weight of donor car... thus suspension would be twice stiffer (but also with twice durability as calculated for heavier car).

I didnt know you have autograss class in UK (we have RX races here - not an oval - with modified roadgoing cars plus one small autograss type with 600ccm ca. 20bhp) - frankly I dont know why use body? It is added 150-200kg with no impact on strenght

Quote from the-dog :

btw i just checked youre fast lap in fbm on bl1 and youre slower then i am

I dont know if I have ANY laptimes with FBM

I wonder how do they brake

Quote from the-dog :

road rules state you dont overtake another car in a corner because of the obvious danger involved with that manuever

You are not on road, you are on racetrack - overtaking in turn is allowed

Quote :

, also let me state that if i have the chance to let somebody overtake i let them no problem , im not trying to win a race , im trying to do a consistend race regardless of what place i end in , i will slow down to a virtual crawl to let somebody overtake me since they make me real nervious if they stick to my bumper while im still learning where i take a apex and at what speeds .

My advice - do it with AIs, when you can race with (and overtake) AI1 PRO level (... let say AI2 :tilt it means you are ready to go online... to be 3s off the pack

Quote :

and i can stay behind slower racers then me without rearending them without a problem , because im smart enough to take draft/brake/mistakes etc. in account and still come out of the corner fast enough to overtake the players that are lower then i am .

rear bump in the corner is damn fecking irritating and is obvious fault by the overtaking. Although bump in front end usually means too late closing doors - of course at apex, not outside rumble strip

Quote from the-dog :

also i know that if i see a blue flag i have to let the driver behind me pass me , but that isn't that easy in a corner ffs , can't you just wait untill we get on a stretch where it is possible to overtake me , ill let go of my throttle to let them/him pass no problem

well, in corners due to lower speed, distances are smaller, they are braking much later, go thru turns much quicker... it is their responsibility to overtake safely but if you make room to overtake you must be consistent - stay outside to let them pass. Which is good way to obey blue flag also.

First what you have to answer is how many parts you could apply from donor, how many do you plan to make yourself or find specialized parts.

When you answer that, try to find ppl who made such layout and have design. I know the most popular buggies are from beettle (1600ccm) and there are many designs and parts especially in States. Here in Poland we have buggy design for small fiat 126p (600ccm veery small wheelbase), I created mine frame desing from scratch for Skoda120 (rear engined, water cooled, 1200ccm) using whole suspension (front double wishbones with frame, rear swingarm). I know there is one (!) guy in Poland making buggies with 150bhp bike engines... others just making prototypes from donors... no grown market for this here in Poland.

So here you come up to the frame - how do YOU want to make it. Cut, bend and weld? I can tell you - fitting tubes and box profiles for different angles is quite a pain in ass when you dont have simple tools to do it. But you know, it is possible, I managed to do it

I cant tell you anything about making a cart 250ccm+ I think many parts and designs for that with regullar racing. And specifications.

Quote from -NightFly- :

waiting for installer...

it's not that complicated. In fact it is not at all complicated - but installer will not help me what is the difference between version A and B

Nevertheless I spent a while watching SO at cloudy evening - a beauty. The buildings look really great when reflecting skies, I wish more of them would do it more noticeably. If they could reflect sun glares at sunset... yummy

Quote from Be2K :

Guys Guys.. http://www.speedmaniacs.com/Ne ... ed...hysik-in-Arbeit,4601 This Interview came directly from Victor ... truly its in german but if someone has the time to translate it into English u will understand that LFS takes more Time to grow up. One example from the Interview is that Victor said, Scawn is actually trying to improve the Physik updates on lower CPUs. My wish.. let the old CPUs die. In my opinion LFS wont take much longer then this year to release a new test Patch or completly S3

well if it is not a hoax it is quite optimistic - this means that new physics is ready but Scawen perceives it is too much CPU-consuming at this stage of PC's market.

Frankly I am quite disappointed that meanwhile, waiting for the patch I was able to make a buggy, just on weekends.

Quote from SF-Turdtron :

it may just be me, but its a bit strange XD. To be honest, its so small it doesn't bother me (it will now I know its there :P) but i thought i would atleast point it out.

I didnt
I rather watched hills in different lighting - sometimes they look strange, your inspirations Lynce, from Hawaii looked much more green
edit: notice - I recommend not using haze

Quote from DK_USA :

I absolutely love this..Makes me more interested in playing a lot more now... Ive been over in Afghanistan with the Army for like 5 months now and I would like to help out to make the TREES look good enough to deserve to be apart of your new world you have made, Something for me to do you know!

In fact they look cartoonish from distance, even with mip bias and user LOD maxed.

Frankly I dont know why palm leafs dont move as trees and flags do on high winds.

Quote from Klutch :

You have an "official" 300hp, yet it has not been dynoed?

How is it "Official"

in Polish it is called nominal (provided by producer) - 300KM on shaft, 283KM on wheels

Quote from AndRand :

I am happy with my official 300 (I didnt dynoed it thou). I heard that VG30DETT is capable of 500-600hp but... nah... would need forged internals pretty soon

Now it is enough to get tempted by challenging bikers Especially on twisty road

Quote from Klutch :

My head hurts.

Don't worry, relax

Quote from Lynce :

Added to the first post in Photorealistic Reflections zone ._

What is the difference between option A and B?

Nevertheless, great addon - I found at SO reflections of other buildings only on one building (near Chicane) - is it possible to make it on other buildings?
