Put the weight on the front.

Yep exactly, the momentum will add a huge force on the rear tyres! And may be you can try to up the suspension like on some old funny cars (correct me if I am wrong).

Ne pas nourrir les trolls!

Happy Birthday Vic!

If I remember well and it was an experiment between MCGill FSAE team and Scawen. Wings are not banned (rules are really open, and I think the rear wing was suppose to be attached to the triangles and not to the chassis, as it is also autorized) in FSAE and they make some heavy winged cars. But it is more weight, more budget and more drag with only a 600cc engine (you have to justify the technical dossier of your car). It is usually faster on the skidpad, but FSAE is not only about the skidpad. So I guess they did not see enough pros and never built the car this way, so in the end it was kind of logic not to release it in LFS.

I was talking about using logitech driver with my wheel (fanatec gt3rs v2), not about using the logitech wheel. I am convienced the fanatec wheel is a better hardware, but the software seem to mess up a bit.
My friend wheel is a t500rs, it is a thrusmaster wheel around 4-500euros so we are in the same price range.

If you don't know what CTRA is, please do some research to get an idea how it worked before voting

Well, if you cant explain it in a few words I guess it is some boring stuff.

Edit: OK sorry, my fault. I was kind of ignorant as I did not play that much for almost 5 years so I missed it. So yes something to bring to more intelligent racing and more intelligent racer would be real great.

On project cars I have seen some people using the logitech drivers with this wheel. Anybody using the same trick around here? I did not try yet but it might be a good idea
Sometimes I experience the forcefeedback to switch off, it is kind of strange.
I recently had a friend at home and he felt my ff was bad in term of feeling compared to his gt500rs/f1. It is a bit disappointing regarding wheels in the same price range.

Lol?
Well even my laptop manage a full field of 32 BF1's at around 40 FPS (with drops down to 25-30 when smoke is spawning, AA and AF is not friend with this computer).

Either way, my point was not to deep throat you with my e-penis, just saying that you need a new computer

A full field of 32BF1 online will use less CPU than 32AI I suppose.

Quote from John5200 :

This. When I fire up LFS I want some action. This means I need to have at least one or more players in my skill level. The more people that are in the server, the higher the chances are, that someone is actually as.... umm slow as I am. I love the FBM and the FOX but the only server I usually can join that has above 5 players is FOX Junkies (if I'm lucky) so 80% of the time I end up in a Demo server.

Back in the days of seperated Demo and S2 servers there was a whole lot more good (visited) S2 servers IMO

I have nothing against Demo servers, but I am getting sick of 10 players, FBM on BL1

True fun short populated race without demo are hard to find now.

This clutch stuff was kind of bad surprise at first, but it finally worked for me.


Deg: depending on ca or 900
FF: 100 or less
Sho: 0
Drift: 0
Abs: I dont remember, but I have set itto use the force sensor.
Lin: 0
dEA: 0
Spring: 0 (do you buy a force feedback wheel to use it as a spring one?)
Damper: 0 (do you buy a force feedback wheel to use it as a spring one?)

Quote from Eclipsed :

(unfortunately all-time only though)

Yes that is the point.

That is where I was looking for, but I am asking if there is a way to see more.

Is there any way to see car and track usage statistic my month or year?
Is there any possibility to look at a specific combo usage?
I try to quickly what is popular or not. I mean training for the raceabout to play online is not very interesting as I will never find populated servers.

I have the /cv binded to a wheel button, but sometimes it is a pain to react in time...

I real racing, blue flag leading to a black in a matter of second, I have never seen that.
In modern LFS, in most server, there is unfortunately disrespect for the beginner.
I recommend going to the not very populated server where you can find some racers more "relax". Going skype or teamspeak or whatever with a faster (or slower if you want to teach) friend will help you a lot too.
Grabbing some setups (or packs) at http://www.setupgrid.net/ might help you too.

When hosting at least with or not many racers, restart are too fast.
If I hit accidentaly my /restart button I have no time to hit my /cv.
Is there an option to set it to 5s minimum?

Thanks

I am in spain but not really willing to use a modified .exe.

He is very similar to hamiltons style attacking corners which is why hamilton is faster than say button...

It looks like one has been overheating this year...

Quote from SennaSS :

No no your not understanding... i certainly cant create a game im no developer... BUt you need a developer AND a racing driver to work togther to create it

It is like doctors you know, first they need to contract all possible disease on earth and then they might be able to cure them. Healthy docs are just so inacurate in understanding disease.

Happy new year devs.

Better that report than nothing but it looks like it has been written by someone else than Scawen (wife?) with nothing new (so was the 12-2010 one) or crispy in it.

LFS is still my best sim but damn that would be cool, first for Scawen to get that tyre model working (and working better than the current one, then to be able to drive it and enjoy new content.

I am a bit disapointed but I wish luck to the devs and I still support the effort.

Keep up!

I agree with JTW. I mean damn, it is my second wheel, considering 150-50+400, I am at 500 euros in wheel. I am not hardcore driver, I would say casual but enthusiastic, I guess I have played between 1 and 2 hundred hours over the past 8 or 9 years (with a too long pause). The license is really cheap in prize even if I understand it can be an expense in a lot of country. I would be willing to help $$$ if asked by the devs.

Iracing? I spent like $20, played one hour getting bored by something too serious (and seriouslyly expensive) for my time available.

Anyway lately I have been playing back on LFS and I still like (or maybe love?) it, host game call a friend and go.

It would a great start for a rock n roll song!

Maybe it would be interesting to use a phone as a deported dash.

It is working, I can pass my script files if someone need them (to gain time).
Only thing not perfect it is working when joining not when choosing car in the garage (not really an issue).
Anyway it would be easier to tick a box and then have the game doing that alone.

Thank you Silverracer.
I guess:
'/wheel_turn NNN
is the command I was looking for.
I will try as soon as I get home!

I have my indication scipts running well but if I want a perfect match between Wheel controller and in game Wheel I need to setup for each car the steering lock.
How can I add that to my scripts?

By the way I have my wheel turn compensation set to 1 but it is kind of nonsense as I set my wheel differently for each car with the same steering.

Thanks, I was not able (at work) to open LFS to verify.
