No need to call him stupid. It was enough to just say he was wrong.

The UFR already feels like that, or at least with a proper setup, or maybe its just me.

TBH I can't see a difference on how the UFR drives vs this Golfy 1. Maybe the UFR doesn't slide too much like the Golfy does, but overall it has the same "feeling" when driving it. Maybe I'm wrong or haven't raced with the UFR (I did few races with the UFR, and love it).

You can soften the suspension and put some camber on the rear wheels to get the sliding the Golfy does.

Quote from Gutholz :

Well there is the "Driving School" which is a bit more, with lessons and driving slalom around cones and stuff.
I think there are diffent starting-points depending on experience.
Absolutely no idea how to drive: there is the parking lot where you can just drive in wide circles or so.
And from there one can step up to driving school / singleplayer / multiplayer etc

Ye ofc there is the Driving School which I forgot to mention, but the thing is that the Tutorial should redirect newcomers to pass the Driving School for example pass the DEMO DS lessons when opening the sim for the first time to access the track (BL and its respective configurations), and then when the player buys either S1, S2 or S3 it should be totally optional and up to the player to continue it or not. But also LFS stands out for its really open-to-you gameplay. Like where in a few games you need X to access Y and drive Z; where here its just select a car, a track, and even open configurations and edit them with the layout editor to recreate real tracks, or just go mad with the objects.

Better have an exclusive feature (kinda redundant to say it as it is the only car without reverse on LFS) on the MRT where you press a key and the car rolls backwards slowly. Like the driver jumps out and starts pushing it, but without the animation.

But at the same time it makes up for a challenge. One corner misjudging or turning too wide and you are out more like a 50-50.

Quote from Daniel564 :

spanish, argentina, mexican servers, they're all bad.

I remember being on a angertina server, one of my cruising mates told the truth about their crappy dirty behaviour for poking us unecessarily and banned him...hmpf I left right after

Just stay in servers where most english speakers are and you'll be fine, nothing more, nothing less.

Cheers.

Agree, specially from Argentina where most of these ""servers"" come from.
They don't care who joins, they even ban people from their own country (like me, one of the reasons I started to hate drag on LFS, apart from Turks having 300000 tweak servers and Brazilians doing the same). These are suppossed to be private servers, but ofc they don't put a password I assume just to ban people. Instead of just telling their "friends" the password and done.

Well, after 7 years of playing LFS (yes, I had an account before this one (mekhon), but long story. TL;DR at the end) I thought of a few suggestions that could improve LFS.

1º- Sub-Folder system for skins and setups:
What is this? As the title says, a sub-folder system for skins and setups, where in the specified folders you create a new folder to put setups, like for example, you have setups for different tracks, so you could create folders like:
setups>Blackwood
setups>Kyoto
setups>Rockingham
setups>Random
And so on. And when you go ingame, on the setup list it would show these folders with an arrow next to it, so you can extend/collapse it according to what setups/skins you need.
Example: (See Attached Screenshot)

Repeat the same for skins. So for example, you can have multiple folders for different skins, with an arrow to expand/collapse it:
skins>Kits
skins>WIP
skins>Stock cars
skins>DEFAULT skins
And so on. Refer to the attached image, but for skins.

2º- Pre-heat tires in Pits, like in Hotlap mode:
Im not sure about this idea tbh, but gonna put it either way (Im sure there are 1000 threads that suggest the same). Again useful for Racing. And ofc a drifter would find this useful.

3º- Better replay system
Well, as discussed before on another thread, the current replay system is actually good, but at the same time it could be improved. Mostly concerning FastForward and Rewind, but I'd guess FF is slow because of ¿physics calculation?. Correct me if wrong.

4º- A proper Introduction Tutorial
Well, I guess that many people would agree with this. LFS lacks a good starting introduction tutorial. The actual tutorial is just select a language, create a driver, name it, grab XFG with default setup, enter Blackwood and off you go.
Yes, you have LFSManual. But how many newcomers really read it? I include myself on this one tho. I haven't read it, but all I know I learned all by myself and with practice. Or how many newcomers even bother to practice/experiment?. A setup won't make someone make a good lap if they don't know how to drive the car.
In my experience, I suck with FWD, but have a better driving with RWD. And how could I improve my FWD driving? By practicing and doing laps. Doesn't matter what lap time I get, the important thing is to learn how the car handles and behaves, find the advantages and disadvantages of that car and take advantage of that.
NOTE:

21-03-2017 Forgot to add it
5º- Possibility to skin Windows and Lights -Ik that this have been suggested a few times-
What this means isn't just editing XX_interior1 to get different lights, but the possibility to have like a layer above of these lights, so for example, you could have a play with them f.e. cover completely a headlight, or make the "Angry Headlights" -they look ugly on some cars imo-. Or make "broken" like lights, and have default lights and with this layer above, even replicate real life cars lights.
And for windows, well, either cover them completely, add decals/stickers either ricer like or like IRL racing cars ( http://losandes.com.ar/files/image/2006/10/4/149160.jpg -Its exagerated with the front window visor, but you get the idea for the rest of the windows. Also note the number 1 on the headlights-).
Or even make ads for the back window ( https://beachhousegraphics.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/orlando-jacksonville-window-sticker-see-through-window-ad-vinyl-window-glass-sticker-car-advertising-1.jpg ), or make more complicated and better looking skins with decals going through the windows ( http://budgettruckandauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/brewers.jpg ).
The disadvantage I see is that covering the back window f.e. would block any type of view, and knowing LFS that would end up bad. But other than that, I don't see anything wrong.


I will be posting more ideas if I think of.

Note: I was also thinking to add Mod Support, but would be better for LFS to wait until the devs think its the finished stage to include Mod Support.
Imagine a race with Daihatsu Midgets, or Reliant Robins

TL;DR: Had to create another account, first I Forgot Password, and a guy was following me to every server I went just to crash me with ghost mod.

I'd love to have this feature added. Super useful . Altho I would do it better as if you have 2 options:

1º- Swap tires in Pairs like the OP says:
Front Tires [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]
Rear Tires [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]
or
2º- Swap tires individually:
Front:
LF [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]
RF [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]
Rear:
LR [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]
RR [R1]/[R2]/[R3]/[R4]/[Normal]/[Super]/[Hybrid]/[Knobbly]

Note: Tires swapping depending of what the car tires it supports.

I think that real swapping tires (from R1 to R2, R1 to R3 or R1 to R4, and so on) would change how the cars handles if indivual tire swapping was added?. And wouldn't tire physics go crazy/cause problems/glitches/bugs if you switch from e.g. R1 to R2 without entering pits?. Or from Normal to Knobbly?

Hmm. Thats weird. I had that option set to Anyone, or I just forgot to change it.
My bad.

Quote from oleroc :

Your profile is not visible....

I can see it just fine. I don't have stats hidden.

Happy birthday Victor!

Ima go try another ticket .

I'm in!

I always avoid these "drag" servers where there are a few kiddos and these weird servers.
I can't count how many times I got banned from these "servers", even being South American. They ban both non-Spanish speaking and the lentos (slow/noob players).Sometimes I believe Im the only person on my country who doesn't like drag.

Gonna try some luck I guess! I'm in!
Good luck every1!

I'd say that they did the minimaps on a certain size, so maybe in South City they used an smaller "template", so part of that off-track on the south is not shown complete. At least that's what I have in mind about it.

The minimap has 2 colours as stated on the Display>Interface menu:
Small map dark
Small map light
IIRC Small map dark is only used when in 3rd person, and small map dark is used on the rest of views, because of, for example, car interiors where they are mostly black (except cars with no roof, like RAC, UF1 roofless and both LXs) because they would camouflage with the texture and be like there is no minimap, if using minimap on total black colour, or where some tracks have dark spots, or dark textures itself.

Also I know there is a bug on both Display and Interface sliders where they show incorrect colours when moving them (like, you want to make orange and it shows purple or dark green and etc). I think the Interface tab doesn't have this problem, but may be wrong.

Do both minimaps have the same colour? idk if you know the trick, but you can use ctrl+LeftClick to copy and Shift+LeftClick to paste sliders value.

The only thing you can do for now is ctrl+left click selecting objects (max 30). But ye, an easier way to delete objects would be good.

Erm, actually you can do infinite laps after the race ends if you like so .

Usually race servers have an InSim -to simplify it, its like a Program/Application- f.e. like Airio that has a countdown at the end of each race so it restarts automatically.
Otherwise you'll need a certain amount of players to press SHIFT+R (restart race) in order to restart. But, the more players are connected = More people needed to restart race.

Ps: Glad you like LFS!

Quote from taipalsaari :

lmao @abone trying so hard to get me banned cus he cant come up with a proper argument

i already gave u proof and all my request was to get this fixed cus its annoying for mouse users.
whatever, I got my answer now.You guys are clearly all just ignorant.


pls close

I drive with mouse and I don't see/feel/notice any difference from 0.6N to 0.6R.

Seriously, you are believing your own lie .

"You guys are clearly all just ignorant" You obviously can't come up with a proper argument either, so you choose to insult us all.. Just 2 videos with obviously different driving styles and approaches just to make us believe there is a difference.

For the last time, if physics changed, replays would be obsolete and obviously experienced/average racers would notice this, and also IT WOULD BE MENTIONED IN THE CHANGELOG IF PHYSICS CHANGED ffs. Why are you so freaking stubborn not to understand physics didn't change? You think that tyre physics changes would pass unadverted? Seriously?. Scawen replied to you saying that physics changed, so what, you gonna ignore what a DEVELOPER says to you?.


Now seriously, some moderator please close this pointless thread. This totally like talking to a wall

Yes, you are right.
Physics changed. How can I be so blind not to see it?
/s

Like seriously, this is like talking to a wall...
Not sure if trolling, really stubborn or you have 2 potatoes as eyes not to realize nothing has changed. Again, if physics changed you wouldnt be able to play replays from other 0.6 versions, also if they changed, setups would act weird, as Scawen even stated with the VWS, they had to use unrealistic setup settings to make the car drivable on current physics. If new physics were on 0.6R, first they would obviously BE on the CHANGELOG and second experienced players and WR users would obviously notice if anything changed, which didn't.
Its a placebo effect. Stop trying to convince yourself something changed. Even your driving style on both videos are really different.

As MicroSpecV stated, make a little AI-only race on both versions, and do the comparison. If physics changed, AI would act differently.

Quote from Skinzinho :

May I ask why you created BRlok in the first place?.

Im glad you decided to shut it down and act as a license/voucher reseller for Brazil and all, but really, what was the point of making BRlok?. Saying that a cracked community is better ain't a reason to create an unlocker..
I seriously don't understand what goes through their heads when making these unlockers tbh, both LFSPlok and BRlok creators. Why not just instead motivate these players to get a license instead like you are doing now? ye I know, not everyone has an international credit card, but still not a reason to use an unlocker to justify it...

Obviously who doesn't want to have all the content LFS has to offer? They can use Demo forever without any type of limiter, even go online, race, do PBs, Hotlaps, etc etc etc. Now they even got a new configuration for Blackwood, Historic. Like if that ain't enough, they got 3 cars to race/mess with, infinite and limit-less setup modifying, using and downloading skins...

But then again I appreciate that both repeat83 and you closed these unlockers for good (LFSP and BRlok respectively).

People and Scawen itself stated that if physics changed even 0.00000000000000001% all replays would be obsolete.....
If physics really changed, replays from the other 0.6 versions wouldnt be able to replay, and of course people would notice this change.
You think that if physics changed players will ignore it?
I agree that its a placebo effect that makes you think physics changed, when in fact it didn't.
What else do we need to explain? A developer replied to you that physics didn't change, but still you disagree on it lel.
And if physics changed then they would appear on the changelog of a new update.

--Why would Scawen lie about physics change?--

Your mind is playing with you.

Looks good. There are a few questions in my head:

1º- Will it burn your clutch when using automatic transmission/automatic clutch? Specially in efficiency mode ~3k RPM (in my case I use sequential+manual clutch)

2º- Will it be safe to use it online? I think this question will be a FAQ.

Im interested on it tbh. There was a "mod" like this time ago( https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/55636-Automatic-Transmission-Simulator-(v5-6b) ) but it isn't CVT iirc and didn't get updated anymore afaik.

I really liked this layout!!
Most of cars I raced with felt really good on the track, specially the BF1
Speedy and kinda tricky, specially on the mini jump bridge

Quote from kristofferandersen :

I'm not sure, but I may have found a bug.



There's no option to change the position of the scroll menu, right?
I changed Text Size for the car radar to 1,5m and it happened.

You mean that the scroll menu goes to the top right? When in Gadgets menu you can click and drag it like the other gadgets.
Happens to me often xdd. Ps: Image link is broken.

Quote :

but its kinda stupid that devs don't care about people that don't buy the game

Why should they care? Buying a license gives you access to more content that is a privilege for those who pay for these Sx licenses. Giving Demo some of this privilege (custom layouts in this case) will make licensed users feel less supported, as you are taking away a licensed content to put it into Demo.

Whats next? VWS for Demo?. I'd either suggest to switch/add the UF1 to demo.

You are lucky Demo isn't time-limited or days-limited. You can even go on Multiplayer on it, pls...
