and you cannot do Alien makeout with a mountain bike. Different priorities

You may introduce a minimum time to engage the clutch in aim to be able to change the gear. Instant gear change is not so possible in real life.

But yes, it seems wise to not loose time to delete hotlpas with this before you will naturally delete all hotlaps for the awaited new tire physics ^^

What is the replay name? So I can find it easily.

addendum :

Quote from Scawen :

Can you describe exactly what the button clutch issue is? I know it's an old thing, but if I ever knew what it was, I've forgotten.

Instead of using autoclutch, you press a buton to simulate the clutch. As it is quicker, you have almost no speed loss when changing gear. So the advantages given to manual clutch user (I mean using a pedal) is there anhilated by people pressing a buton / or having a macro pressing the clutch when engaging the gear for example. The advantage is quite unfair for people really using a pedal.
example on an old hotlap I did on South City Sprint 1 with the UFR :
http://www.lfsworld.net/rafa/?raf1=Emyn_SO2_UFR_049840&raf2=Flotch_SO2_UFR_049970
other faster guys are using bc thing, on the rafa comparison you can see that on the straight he is changing gear quicker than me, spending less time on it, having a higher top speed. I do think he is using the same kind of setup than mine ... so this is not the pressure in the tires that is making him quicker.
More vicious people are using a macro to simulate an axis when changing gear, resulting in instant gear change
Forgive me if I am wrong, but if the guy is using the left foot for clutch, and right foot for braking and accelerating he is quite good :

There is a "shortcut" on the hairpin of Aston North Reverse that is not detected. This is a snapshot of the lap uploaded on LFSWorld, and 0.6K2 does not see it as "out of the bounds" stuff.

aanrus answer is the one

Quote from bogdani.cojocaru :

How long has it been there?

Long, sure, but if you read you will find why ...
Anyway, seeing the recent releases, and considering that according to Scawen that now his high priority is physics, I guess we can plan to have the Scirocco in a not so long amount of time

Quote from Neilser :

Really? I thought all real cabrios were heavier than the basic models because they need so much extra stiffening... It's all before my time in LFS :-)

UF has an hard top, so when removed, it makes the car to weight less (considering you do not keep it somewhere in the car to perform races )
LX have a soft top, so only Cx is affected when off.

hard subject about LHD / RHD. In the begining I found very pleasant to have different adavantages given to the driver according to its country's specifications ... but when lots of people were not using cockpit view and were switching the driver position to take 0.1s per corner ... sometimes you feel bad (I have learned to drive with hood view because of this).
Hope it will not end like the roof option for LX and UF1000 : first it was giving a weight advantage (for the UF only) against a worse Cx ... everybody was then using the roof on, and then Scawen removed the adavantages/penalties ... sad end ! Simulation is put in the background while it should have been the main subject ! AC has found the workaround : put 2 versions of the same car with slightly different characteristics
In the end, maybe an hardcore 'option' would fit everybody : hotlap or multiplayer host only allowing onboard cam for example.

PS : agree on the f*cking buton clutch

handbrake is used to keep the car on the starting grid, so if removed, something new as to be brought to not have the car falling at Blackwood for example. But yes, clearly, using handbrake to be quicker (and it is real) on the race cars we have is silly
Maybe giving them a very low (Nm) force associated with a kind of lag when using it through a buton (I know this will not calm cheaters for long ...) could cure this (invalidating hotlapping is one (good) thing, but if in multiplayer it still allows people to go quicker, the issue is not solved)

Happy new year all ! Hope you will be fine and enjoy life even more than in 2015
I wish too my best to the LFS team. I hope the launch of S3 is bringing you satisfaction and motivation for the future

... my credit card will suffer I fear ...

Was it not supposed to be a holiday period for you Scawen ?
The system looks good.
But that is signing the end of FE6 shortcut, and the use of knobbly tires ... sad , you will have to consider putting a mud track in S3 ^^

seeing the laptime of other supercars mentionned on the site, it is a road car driven with road tires (most probably not even semislick tires knowing the production date, as opposed to lots of very modern supercars that are delivered with semislicks in aim to make competitive laptime when driven by journalists/testers). Compare it with a tuned FZ50 turbo, but not with a race car with penalties : it still not compete in the same class at all.

Je vous souhaite à tous un très joyeux Noël !

Totally agreee. Rockingham ROCKS !!!!
17€ for the fun I had, I have and I will have are peanuts !!!
And if that can motivate even more Scavier, then I am even more pleased to spend that money !

Since VWS announcement and all the stories that follows, you can understand that Scavier are not willing to promise stuffs anymore.
Note that Scawen already stated that Eric has 2 tracks at a high level of built (do not know if Rockingham was included or not ... I suppose not), so we can expect them to be released in a near future (S3).
Another car is mentionned on the first Rockingham announcement ... maybe there are more already at an advanced stage (do you remember Victor saying they may plan to release a rally pack : most probaly some stuffs were already done). But definetly, S3 will not be composed from "only" one track.
And if you follow Scawen's activities recently on the forum, you cannot suppose the team is demotivated and is willing only to get some cash and say bye bye the day after.

Small note : when doing hotlapping on Sportcar config for example, if you do not take the first chicane and go through the cones (without touching them), you are still HLVC ok.

good catch

Quote from Flame CZE :

It's at the top right. You can go there from the back of the pitlane area via the access road.

Quote from k_badam :

use the road going off the track

Thank you guys.

Note for Scawen : lack of grip is missing there


Eric : you did a brilliant job there too . The track is very nice. Having 11 combinations is simply awsome !!

Quote from Hyperactive :

Full price for single bit of early access type of content for existing old game with very high chance of that content never materializing? £12 for one track? Even kaemmer doesn't ask that much for their tracks. I paid less for the nordschleife. Wish I had something positive to say.

I think you do not look the right way for this. Yes AC team brought us the Nordschleife for a ridiculous price ... but it was a content limited to this and the 10 cars delivered then. And the DLC was named "Dream Pack 1" ... and so you know the story : there is no end to this last digit (Note1 : I will most probably by all of them ... Note2 : may be Kunos devs have stated there is an end somewhere, but I do not know).
Here, up to now, the LFS team is stating they plan to stop at S3 level. Even if I would not bother paying for more contents in the future, it may not happen in the end. By purchasing S3 you are buying the full product and additional contents that will/may be delivered for free. Isn't this a good deal ? I personnally think yes.


PS : I am, for a longtime, ready to pay for a rally pack

I do not find this "wet grip area"
Can someone with a GPS help me ?

Scawen, I dare you to unblock the reverse configurations. This is a limitations for demo users, not VIP



To be serious, this is an awsome update. I like it !!!

I know one guy that, yesterday, was doing hotlaps with AC on Brands Hatch with a 1200hp Lamborghini and a 458 aswell ...
if he knew Rockingham was already available, he would have spent £12 sooner and waste its time differently

Just to say : OMG !!! I was 'only' expecting snapshots of S3 for x-mas ...
The £24 already spent many years ago were largely profitable for a very very long time ago. Glad to spend more . take my money and have an happy Christmas all !!!


edit : 11 configurations + reverse ? ... WTF
(downloading in progress ... )

I gave it a try. I thought I could drift it like a pro, but it has ended often into the grass , probably overestimating myself . But I think it can be quite nice with some practice.

I like the Gallardo : as crap/good to drive as I was expecting . Quite bad feeling under braking and corner entry, but then the awd system is helping you to put the pedal to the floor on corner exit. Same feeling as for the R8 and GTR, this make me enjoy even more the 458 when I take it just after
I took briefly the Lotus 25 ... but GP Legends memories make me to not appreciate it so much ... do not know what I was expecting, but I did not find it to my taste ...
Brands Hatch is very nice at first sight. Quite narrow and not so easy to find the correct lines with lots of elevation changes. I will have to learn !!

Quote from Scawen :

You have a "Live for Speed" folder inside another "Live for Speed" folder. Is that correct?

From the error messages on your LFS screen, it can't see the shaders in the data\shaders folder.

yep, the Live For Speed (the first) is the "Main" folder. I kept some other versions for nostalgia / replays (demo...), and the "current" version is called "Live For Speed" again

Quote from Abone :

sometimes weird things happen. try this way: download
PATCH 0.6J TO 0.6J3 (ALTERNATIVE ZIP) , put zip folder in your LFS folder, extract everything and click to replace all files.dont fix your problem? delete your shaders folder and extract again everything in zip folder. i fix some problems about sounds,etc.. just deleting and creating new folder, in this case you have everything in zip folder, so, you dont need creating new one

it worked



Thank you for your support !
