now its official - LFS uses licensed VW Advertising - its on the leftside of the electricity pylon:
..

i am not quite sure if you need Contracts with VW but i think its an indicator that VW is involved !

this remind me the first screenshot where the FZ5 was appearing
Obviously, the first thing I have noticed onto the screenshot is the mention of VW ... but as it was too obvious, I did not make the link/shortcut with the scirocco , we were more used of discrete tesaing

I'll need to get my notes together on Monday and see what needs to be done.

How the notes are doing?

Scawen is copy-pasting the list for about 4 hours now onto the forum ... his computer is still running at 100% cpu ...


btw, lots of nice informations to read in this thread (besides the classic moaning, ok ... )

accelerate gently while the clutch is engaged in aim to have enough revs when the clutch will disengage . The same appear with real cars (rwd mainly), especially with NA engine of consequent displacement ... For the moment there is no proper automated gearbox doing the job for you for the curent cars.

I maybe wrong but I tend to remember that at a time in the past there was the throttle blip as an option ...

Actually loads of people want the "holy grail" Nordschleife.

fixed

yes, perfect wording correction

I agree with you Scawen about the sequence of what people wants ^^

wow : bloody awsome . Very beatiful ! Nice job on going guys ! Can't wait

I have never seen such a connection beetween McDonalds and LFS

To be serious too, I am the first to wait for new contents, but to be honest, I can understand the goal of LFS team : giving us something as good as possible, and obviously when talking about real cars/tracks => they want to do something accurate about the feeling. I had lots of fun this weekend playing with the carreer mode of AC, and driving/discovering those Lotus cars simulated in the game was just excellent (light cars very performant, coming too fast or accelerating too early into corners result in a 'nice' understeering behaviour, etc ... handling seems as you can read about people using them hardly on track). I have to admit it looks like brilliant. I wait for the same about LFS : some good markers giving you the feeling of having the real car in your hands or driving on the real thing (rockingham) !
Currently in LFS if you want to be fast, your tires are dead too quickly, cars do handle not so well in some ways : viscous lsd is not so performant so I did not do intensive testing, open diff and clutch pack make you go mad under braking, locked diff that should not be performant is most probably the one that gives the best feeling, the intensive use of handbrake is a bit insane ... all of these maybe linked to tires ... (not to mention the FWD winning combo (stiff front ARB, soft rear ARB, locked diff) in aim to be outrageously quicker). I can only understand the LFS team to want to fix their tire model in aim to have people enjoying the game while not seeing them cheating by exploiting physics flaw ^^

with your demo license you cannot even race the FZ5, and you are asking for a turbocharged version ! Try the current cars of S1/S2 first , it worth the money you spend !

thank you guys
I did not succeed fully with the F5 thingy ... but anyway I see how to do it with the option ingame ... only disturbing thing is that my driver seems to have no head inside cars with roof at least ... not a big deal

this is quite ... beautiful
Can't wait to have the one done by AC team (sorry, purist inside)

By the way, how do you get this lovely central camera ? I have seen many videos recorded showing this, but I am unable to see my few replays like this ^^

Quote from Scawen :

...Eric sent me a test version with most of the new paths done....

I wonder how many km of off road the new WestHill will get . A proper rally (or rallycross) car will be needed soon ^^

Eric is most probably playing with the optimiser and is asking some more function in the editor

Quote from Hyperactive :

How much did you drive the 458 (in the sim)? I did some racing in it in the last patch and at first the car does feels understeery. But when you get the braking correct the car just flies into corners with 4 wheel slides.

The mclaren is faster than the 458.

Haven't driven the 458 in the new patch but it does look like a lot of cars understeer more than they did in last patch.

I give it a chance again on Spa ... and i have to admit that with some tuning it is not that bad ^^ ... Even if like cargame.nl said you feel quickly you are a pilot while I am not sure it is the case . The feeling is even more extreme in LaFerrari : without TC you can be a hero without sweat !!

Maybe I was a bit too optimistic by saying the 458 and the McLaren were 'similar' : the british one is 140Kg lighter ...
I have to dig ...
