if you were actually interested in solar powered cars in the game i know a team that might be willing to let us reproduce their car if the program is still running
one request, can we have the option of whcih soundcard to send the pit radio stuff to?
oook, after finishing all the reading of the thread and what not, i feel like a dork.

Reason : why not
actually this would be helpful for more than just drag racing, what about match races on the other courses?
congrats, you just asked for a silvian 4 different ways. I was going to say more to imply condescention, but i figured i would be more obvious with it... Kinda like that
the forrest invokes my yearnnig for the old hockenheimring back
*sniff sniff* i promised i wouldnt cry!!

bumpification needed, but this is worthy of a +1
it would all have to be run locally, and using insim and outsim you can get the location of other cars, thus you could recreate the problem of unclean airflow behind another car.
and indeed most cars you could idle, outguage and insim also have car type tags so that the program could know which type of car is running, and how much heat it makes
as for making it fair, a host program could use the chat function to send a seed number, where upon the client program would respon with the number the seed generates. He who does not match is kicked from the server by the host program

OUtguage/outsim engine failure
This is just an idea, but i want to know what some programers think.
While i was at work last night i had an idea for how to incorporate engine failure into LFS using math and numbers from lfs. First lets lay down some ideas.
the faster a car goes (theoreticly) the more air passes thru its radiator, thus providing greater cooling.
Higher RPM's (supposedly) generate more heat.
using outguage you can get these numbers, and build system of adding and subtracting temperture.
via insim and the new scripting system you can turn the engine on and off, which if used properly can be used to create a sputtering effect (in cases more extreme than the current over rev damage) or utter shut down of the engine.
comments?

just pointing out that the voice com in half life IS teamspeak, just integrated.
this means some bored nugget like me could pop into your voice channel just by searching for your TS server (the one that gest created when you make a host) and annoy the living shit out of you.
anyone else see why this is a bad idea now?

only one problem with your layout chaos, the pit exit of the cadet pits
youknow.... with this someone could make an app using outguage and outsim to do it automaticly
just some shots of the area that Belain wants to add asphalt to for the proposed club layout at Kyoto.
And one at west hill

something similar could be said about the AS north layout, cadet with part of GP tacked on
I understood your point and made a counter point.
Just because the facility was originally designed with one type of car in mind doesnt mean possibilites should be ignored.
For instance Suzuka (to use the previous example) hosts f1 on the GP configuration, and other types of races on the east and west courses, such as touring cars

ZOMG modification and customization to a user's preference, kill it now!!!
really, I'd rather have the option to turn these things on and off, and still have a nicely laid out dash than have them ripped out and have to make the same things in outguage. Like it was said before, it would really accomplish nothing.
Also it is note worthy that some manufacturers offer various option packages for their cars. The mercury cougar i had was an 87 model, with the full digital dash package installed. The blue max type cougar for that year is quite rare these days and some might not have even heard of it, but that doesnt mean that if there was an 87 cougar in LFS i shoul dhave to drive with the analogue guages, just because the elitists have something to gripe about.
Gear indicators can be bought and installed even for h-pattern cars. Shft lights, the same. some times even in the same package. Digital Speeo, very very realistic and you can buy one at your local performance center (relatively cheaply i might add).

Ian, just so you know... You're not the only one exasperated by the collapse of the english language caused by internet pop culture.
As a rotary fan let me the the first to textually bitch slap you for the file name you used.
if that were an FZ i'd say it was an FZ4, if such a beast existed
So was Suzuka, but you dont hear any complaining about thier east course
wow, cheap shot.... but seriously, if the current war is about the oil, we sure as hell arent seeing any of it back home
I'll go ahead and retract my statement about westhill, even though i do believe it would work as an KY extension, in the right place. It does however sit as sort of the under achiever of the LFS brotherly order of racing facilities.
add a u-turn in the right place and it could easily have a club course bearing a startling resemblance to the east course at Suzuka (albeit with fewer curves).
If it werent extremely late for me i coul dprobably toss out a few more layout ideas with WE.
Anyone ever notice that big un-used hairpin at fern bay?

Fear of dilluting the community and wishing for more facilities are contradictary. If you add more facilities to LFS people will spread out more "dilute".
The combination for the club and cadet courses offers something different than any other layout currently available at the aston facility (which is fundamentally differnt than the other facilities). The club circuit is a relatively high speed circuit, while the cadet circuit is a low speed circuit. Combining the two creates a challenging course of its own, with high and low speed sections. This combination utilizes 2 under-used sections, and uses them to create corners unique to this course. Most of all, while this course would certainly be challenging, It is not a huge step up from the club and cadet circuits, nor does it produce lap times as long as the GP course.
More thought went into this layout than you give me credit for.

actually my proposed layout creates two new corners, both at the transitions from the club-cadet courses.
and your point is already disproven by the existance of AS GT, which aside 3 turns is identical to AS GP. they turned right at the junction instead of left and the rest of the course is the same
