This is actually good for a first model. I prefer it over all the other sketchfab conversions.

I think what would improve it, is adding detail to those sharp 90° edges on the engine hood, the dashboard, and some other places.
In real life there is rarely such a sharp angle, so it tends to look artificial. (like LEGO bricks or early 3D games)
It is a very blocky van but all edges still have a small radius roundness to them.
For example see the front corner in this picture:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Chevrolet_P30-Stockholm_%2830059744824%29.jpg
Maybe textures can also help but I do not know too much about that.

Maybe have some scribbled red marker or tape on the RPM gauge.
(As if someone had marked the best upshift point)

Also maybe have the trailer hitch only in the config with roof gear rack?
If I was to race this car, those two things would be my first changes.
(some applies for EMKO)

Please change vehicle class from "Saloon car" to Truck.

Only 1711 kg?
2,74 tons according to wikipedia.
Engine should be 4 Cylinder and 80 bhp.

The setup works normal for me.
I downloaded, double-clicked to automatically copy to LFS and can select it and drive it.
The characters in name are no problem.

For test, I tried what happens if you have an invalid setup file:
I renamed readme.txt to FBM_test.set and copied it to setups folder.
That behaves like your problem: It shows in the list but when you click it then it will select the default setup.

So my guess is, the download somehow failed. Maybe the browser downloaded a 0kb file or such.
Trying downloading again.

I had never heard of "dipped beam" before and had to google what it means.
My first guess were moveable lights like on XRT or Lotus Esprit:


google:
"low beam" 12.600.000 results
"dipped beam" 574.000 results

Hi
I have never had that happen.
Can you link to the setup? So others can try

Hi,
I think such group between TBO and GTR is a good idea.
Someone made an FXO SUPERTOURER and in response others made the RB4 SUPERTOURER.
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/9283E8
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/D06344
As I understand, those two are meant to be equal competitors.
Just XRT is missing.


They have only a tiny bit less power than your suggested specifications.
Since nobody made an XRT variant yet, it might make sense to start with that and balance it with the other two.

You can also go to https://www.lfsworld.net/?win=stats&racer=zeeaq and click "race last race information" to see all your past races.
Then pick a day from the calender, click on "Details" and the blue "I" (Info) icon next to your name. (Or any other racer)
That will give you a list and graph of laptimes. No split thoughs.

Also I think it only lists races that were completed. Not 100% sure, but I think if the server is set to 50 laps and you restart from garage to do multiple 10 laps practice runs then it will only show the last run.

Do you mean the strange bend of the AI's path in the middle of the turn?
Is that with test patch or normal version?
If it is normal version then try latest patch, it has some changes to AI.

If that happens with test patch then you could post feedback in this thread:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/102117-Test-Patch-D4-%28now-D48%29
(Maybe with more info: track config, if it happens with all cars etc)

You obviously are putting lots of effort into your mods and it pays off.
Happy to see that you also got the license.

Quote from Metalmoltres121 :

where it go

Chansonje had lied about this model being his original work.
It was ripped from another game.

Quote from seksen :

I liked it very much, it is a high performance and compact vehicle. If I talk about the strange side, it can go 200 km / h, it can go even more if it doesn't enter the cutter.

Here is a data sheet of the newest version:
https://www.fuso.co.nz/sites/default/files/2021-10/FUSO21_ROSA_Custom_Bus_Spec_Sheet_6.0_LR_0.pdf

Listed top speed of 165 km/h at max engine speed with 129 kw (175 bhp)

This mod has 298 bhp.
The mod description says "not a detailed replica" but that is a big difference.
Aerodynamics might also need work, maybe too little drag?

Also the original bus is likely not geared for maximal top speed, unlike our setups in LFS.

I am not sure S4 is planned?
All work-in-progress updates are either for S3, for example new tracks or updates to mod system.
Or they are for LFS in general, like updates to existing tracks or physics/graphics updates.

Filtering by engine power or engine power would be nice.

Not every player will check a mod for unrealistic values.
It makes it difficult to interpret players feedback.

Perhaps some bike mods with good/realistic physic settings should be selected for testing?

Quote from Lutbelut. :

aah poo... well, what's should i do to keep this project published?

edit: i'll start over

You should post good suitable pictures that show how you are creating the 3D model.
Even without the elegy.dff your screenshots seemed pretty hard to believe.
Compare your pictures to a thread like this: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/105673-bmw-3-series-e36

Now you "started over" and again there are no reference picturs, no blueprint that lines up with the model, no video, no nothing.
Just a picture of a 50% finished car shell that you supposedly created in less than 3 hours.
It is super easy to fake such screenshots and sadly too many users have tried that already.

ctrl+f5 fixed it.
No idea if this was an issue with browser (Firefox) or website.

Hm, still broken for me.
Did you try stuchlo & Eclipsed?

I noticed for some users, it does not list their uploaded mods anymore.
For some users it seems to work normal.

For example:
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods?user=stuchlo
" stuchlo has not uploaded any vehicle mods. "

https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods?user=Eclipsed
" Eclipsed has not uploaded any vehicle mods. "

Both users have public mods that should be listed.
Also, it is still possible to view the mods by going to their page directly:
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/F7BE47
or
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/11627A

Quote from IncogSalmon :

Thanks! If I add him back into the league will he get notified?

Not sure.

Demo accounts can not sent private messages because it could be abused for spam.
I sent hj93 a private message with title "IncogSalmon wants to contact you" and a link to this thread.

You could also watch at https://www.lfsworld.net/?win=stats&racer=hj93 when he comes online and join the same server.
He last raced online today a few hours ago.

There is a mod for GTA that replaces the fictional "Elegy" car with an Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
The GTA file is named elegy.dff
There is an elegy.dff file in your screenshot.

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

For example, researchers consider that Dino-Killing Asteroid Impact Warmed Earth's Climate about 4.5- to 5-degree [C, or 8.1 to 9 degrees F] change in average temperature for 100,000 Years.
This change is higher than it is now. Therefore, your statement is incorrect.

I had assumed you were talking about slow natural cycles in temperature.
A giant asteroid might had more impact on earth's temperature than humans but such event is so different from man-made effects, it makes little sense to compare.
It seems like something to bring up to be "technically correct" but it beside that it contributes nothing to discussion.


It is interesting how some people are so sceptical towards science. It is the same science that built the computer you are currently typing on. The same science that landed us on the moon and made all kind of stuff possible. Nobody is doubting science when they need to get their appendix removed. Nobody ever said: "That is all fake science, integrated circuits are not real. I will build my own graphics card."
But when it comes to climate change, suddenly everyone is an expert.

Quote from jackson93 :

Two points of view from yesterday's race:





Next week: South City Classic with XFG and XRG

How do you create those info displays?
(brake / throttle graphs etc)

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

But global warming and global cooling is a frequent event if you think throughout the history of the earth.

Never before have temperatures changed so rapidly.
https://xkcd.com/1732/

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

To accurately assess the human impact, you need to calculate the exact amount of CO2 emissions from human and non-human causes over at least a few decades and see what the correlations are with temperature.

That has been done.

And I'm more interested in understanding why is global warming a bad thing?

https://climate.nasa.gov/
That answers basically all questions.
