Quote from BlueFlame :Canada > is a mainly English speaking country... so it should be pretty easy to learn English. I'm so far ahead of you ENGLISH ONLY n00bs. Makes me so angry when people only speak their own language.

and french.. what makes you angry about it? and what other language do you speak?

Quote from samjh :Thanks for so much advice, folks.

I found that the problem was ... a graphical glitch. The tyres are all at the expected temperatures now. For some reason, the display for the front-right keeps flickering on and off, and sometimes it looks like the number for the inside edge of the tyre reads above 100, but it's actually just flickering quickly between 8 and 9 and making it look like 11.

Didn't look properly. Sorry.

yeah just as Tristiancliffe has said its where you have locked that tire on a 1 point causing a hot spot, if you stop your car and roll it very slowly you will see the temp change as the wheel rotates

Quote from Gizz :im sorry i fail to see how braking on t1 would cause that!, that wheel as got the best chance of holding under braking there, the weight is on that corner and lower presures hence way more grip!, TEST it and watch in forces view on a replay, its the most stable wheel of the car, unless you have 99% front brake bias!!...

as for the left handed turns on BL, ok theres no braking but the car is accelerating hence the exit oversteer...

looking at t1 your wasting your time unless you have 30deg camber on the right wheel, its near enough imossible to get that wheel to lock and and not the left wheel with it!

your understearing somewhere! is my thoughts

well without a replay its hard to say, but your statment "that wheel as got the best chance of holding under braking there" doesnt make sense to me, the rears will not lock with a good setup as the bias will be to the front, the left front has the most weight on it as it on the outside of the car so to me the right front is the one that will lock if any, i remember running fox and f08 round there right front were forever locking. but my thoughts are only based on those cars as i have not driven the fbm round there yet

blackwood is a right handed track, stigpt is correct its caused by you locking the front right hand wheel when braking for t1 and turning in its lifting the weight off that corner, theres only 2 real left hand turns on blackwood both are smooth turns with no braking required. just be careful when braking for t1

as tristian has been saying road cars wings are "anti lift" devices

Quote from senn :here's a tip, don't give a rats ass what controller you use, stop advertising useless BS and taking up even more of my precious screen space. Do you think ppl who use a mouse are gonna put "MOUSE" into their name? wtf is wrong with ppl.

almost as bad as ppl putting their name in their national colours or intials of where there from.... it makes no difference. Im British and there fore have no idea about national pride (well unless theres a football match on we can loose and the moan at the manager:razz

oh i think you got the wrong end of the stick, ive got no issues with the front downforce effects i think there very good, just that there is no rear d/f effect
Downforce effects
andybarsblade
S2 licensed
im not certain if this is already used but i know when you drive close behind a car your vehicle will loose its front down force and thus slipstream the car and have less air resistance but what i dont see is the car ahead loosing some of its rear wing downforce, i know this happens in real life esp in nascar where you see cars drafting each other very close right into turns and if the car behind stays right on the back into the turn the lead car gets loose. also in lfs when two cars draft only the car behind gets a "boost" in speed from the slipstream but in real life the lead car (to a lesser extent) would also get a slight increase in speed as the two cars would basicly become one mass traveling through the air.

i know when ive been driving the FOX and following right behind a car into a turn i would understeer but he would drive away unaffected, maybe this is something to look into for the future.
licence names

this might seem a little strange but i thought it would have already been in place, over the last couple of days we've had two racers join our servers with abusive licence names, is there a system in place to stop ppl using swear words for licence names now?

Quote from JTbo :

Clutch heating has made racing closer to reality, even it is not perfect,

well i dont think it did? what we have in lfs is that when a clutch heats up it starts to slip, then it will heat up more the more it slips. sorry thats slimply not how it works in "reality" as an example i will use my fireblade (although the same applys to other bikes ive own and even my old impreza) when the clutch was worn (too many wheelies) it would slip under heavy load say accelerating in 5th gear from 6000rpm it would then slip up to 10000rpm but as it slipped it heated up and gripped more and then stopped slipping until it was left to cool down again, a slipping clutch is caused by wear not heat and esp not the heat caused by 3/4 agressive launches, 2nd remember these are race cars with race clutches and can take abuse

as you have a personal problem with certain ppl on this forum sam (myself included im sure) i think you should stand down as a moderator or atleast as shoe maker has ask get off her back, or just leave your so called moderating duty to somone else (not in the ctra team) like franky, i mean its not like the forums would fall to pieces without you freaking out every time you see a redline member posting in "your" forum is it. just what are you trying to achive by locking threads for no reason and treatening to ban paying members from the forums because of your personal dislike of them?
