I hope that's what you had in mind

If I get to cancel a contract I'd have a 180/130/100/130 on sale, under 2m. Still working on my beast

Quote from FOX 1977 :

Btw...you mean, real cars sound....or the lfs car sound is bad....or is it because theres no music?

The lfs car sound, I think you can't do much about it
And better leave away the music, I've hardly seen any onboard cams with music

Quote from FOX 1977 :

But there's something messing...i just don´t know...it's something very particular from real onboard cam's...but i just cant remember...

the sound

Looks nice, well done

It could join the LX8 GTR

Quote from DrDNA :

Regarding BlueFlame's mentioning of an internal combustion engine running on water, I remember reading about a prototype 6-stroke (?) engine in Popular Mechanics. It injects water into the cylinder after the exhaust clears, using the resulting steam burst for an additional stroke. Apparently it works quite well and obviously helps with fuel-efficiency...though I imagine it must sound weird!

I can't think that would have much durability over long time with all those hot-cold-changes, unless someone finds some new material which can keep up with that kind of stress.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Diesel will never go out the window simply because of the price of the fuel itself.

What to you pay for a liter of water?

And I hoped it wouldn't come to this...

Quote from tristancliffe :

You'll have to show me a case where on the same day, in the same weather, a car was tested with both diesel and petrol engines, using the same running gear (you are, however, allowed to change the ratios to suit the engines, but the basic design of gearbox must remain identical.

So, can you prove that the fuel alters the transmission frequencies, or have we deduced you don't know what you're talking about?

I think I heard somewhere that diesel engines tend to be equipped with more "heavy-duty" components in average, which could explain the higher transmission loss. I have no evidence to back this up, so it could just be completely wrong - it's just what I heard, not what I know.

thanks for the update, I guess I'll try it out soon

I wouldn't say a definite no if it's only minor modifications, like different rims or tinted headlights (see Manthey Porsche from the VLN -> http://www.speedheads.de/artik ... theyPorsche911GT3RSR1.jpg ), but those a minor things and eye-candy, probably for late S3

Quote from wark :

What's wrong with the R10? Winning not cool enough for you guys?

Winning doesn't make you cool, neither does a good performance
Even a Fiat Panda has more soul than the R10
(they Panda is really a fun car, unless you want to drive it on roads or uphill)

Quote from Hyperactive :

Although it must be said that making a 2litre turbo GTR endurace racing car is not a wise decision either.

It could last 1500km between service intervals
Or maybe change the engine every pit stop - oh wait, we're doing that in LFS right now

Quote from tristancliffe :

R10 isn't cool. And neither is ANY seat EVER.

If you turned up at Kristen Scott Thomas's house in either of those cars she's double lock and bolt the door. And we all know that KST is the defining factor for cool cars

My thoughts exactly.
Even if KST isn't the defining factor for cool cars, a diesel can't be a cool car for me, and god I HATE the R10 with a passion...
Diesels are hyped way too much anyway.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I don't know much about Turbo's.. but talking of Turbo's always reminds me of Performance Diesels... how cool would it be to have a diesel.

"It's a diesel - it's uncool"
Besides Scawen isn't really interested in putting a diesel in lfs.

more on-topic: anti-lag would be a nice thing to have when we get the RBR

Quote from tristancliffe :

German cars top in class? They're all boring and dull. Great engineering, but 'Ze Germans' engineer all soul and character out their cars. All of it.

Isn't that the same with almost all current cars?
And about the 911: Yes the engine seems to be in the wrong place, but 'Ze Germans' managed to make the current 911s work (and they do that pretty good, there is no point trying to deny that), while other companies don't even manage to do a sensible suspension setup with the 'right' layout.
I have to say though, most of the modern cars have no soul anymore, they just work too perfectly. I like older cars, which had their traits and where you could fix things yourself without a computer

edit: whoops, didn't read BBT's comment the first time

For the super+turbocharged: VW Golf V GT. And the S4 was too. A certain person should get informed before posting

Quote from Neblaivas :

I think false starters should be kicked,and for 2nd fs banned

A bit too harsh for my taste. Imagine slipping off the clutch (happend to me, even once in real life, not while racing, just with my everyday drive :shy. The current penalty (drive-through -> spectate) is enough.

That thing seems like it was made for the quarter-mile. I can't imagine that engine getting a very high mileage

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

@herki: I mean get rid of the player hacker models.

Yeah, those are the same. When you remove them, you'll remove the spectators, if Scawen doesn't change the model system (which I doubt he will do), that wouldn't work

By remove the models, you mean remove the spectators? Or dress the spectators in racing suits?

If I was running that forum I would have suspended one or two people from posting for a week or so...
/votes for lock, another one

Real men use MPlayer. No GUI, needs probably no codecs installed, comes with encoding tool and has options for everything you could think of.

The similarities to the VXR-thread are striking
