nice car, but it seems abit too light compared to a standard FXO

Nice mod! IMO best bus mod out there. No nonsense, just a modern bus. Very gud.

But I have 2 suggestions:
- Side markers don't light up. It would would be nice if they light up when you press 3.
- Visibility to the right is bad. It would better if the front door would be transparent from the inside out. Picture:

very nice car. gg

I just have a few suggestions:
- Make a config with tinted windows, but without the police lights.
- Remove the pops and bangs when you let go off the throttle, I think that it doesn't fit the character of the car. Its a big sedan, not a M3.

Good mod, good potentional


EDIT:
Thanks for implenting these suggestions! gg

You might wanna change the final drive ratio abit down to like 3300

You're welcome

Improved setup, slightly sporty

Gut car.

Maybe implent the following:

-Wider wheels/tyres

-Tinted windows configuration

-rename to A7MED

Awesome mod

Quote from Cutie pie :

Ha, my bad, I have done a brain poop - assumed how all DCT's work based on just a single DCT car that I have ever driven in my life.

Do creepy DCT's creep regardless if they have dry clutches or wet clutches? Wouldn't it cause an extremely fast clutch wear in the first case?

That I don't know for sure.

But from my personal experience, I noticed how when its in Drive and at a standstill with foot on the brake, the clutch doesn't push as bad. But like when you slowly lift you foot off the brake, at some point the clutch will start to engage. Lets say for intstance between 0% and 20% brake pedal, the clutch engages abit (tends to creep) and like 20% to 100% brake pedal, the clutch is full disengaged.

However im not that familiar with all the technical things, but this bit from my experience

Seems it is this way

Quote from Cutie pie :

Hi Marty

Cars with automatic gearbox typically don't have a clutch, they have a torque converter which operates it completely different way from a clutch (even though many TCs have a tiny clutch inside for complete lock-up).

Ones that do have a clutch (typically dual-clutch transmissions) usually don't really creep forward, like torque converter automatics do.

Well yes, but also no.

Many (if not most) double clutch transmissions have a creepmode build/programmed in it. Like Volkwagens DSG, which can also be found in many other cars by the Volkswagen group.

Even single clutch automatic transmissions (aka Automated manuals, aka semi automatics) have a sort of creep mode build in, but not all of them. I know older Smart models don't creep. Also the Selespeed transmission from Alfa/Fiat doesn't creep. But like the Sensodrive transmission from Citroën does creep. So does the Easytronic or whatever the name is, by Opel.

And yes, because it don't have a torque converter but a clutch, it works different, and manuafactors can simply choose (or dont) to have a creepmode build in it.

Maybe its because automatic tranny drivers are used to it, maybe its just bc convenience (like for instance, parking). Maybe just to emulate a traditional (tc) automatic.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

PACT made an auto transmission mod of some kind. ask them perhaps , it seems to work fine actually.

for long cruising its perhaps useful. but in normal driving i would get very bored driving with it.

i do switch back and forth inside lfs at times but in racing im on manual .

idk what app you used in the video. but it looks different than the pact one ive seen. maybe its an older version i saw idk. but as i understood the PACT one. it could be set to different modes. if creep was one of them i cant remember as i do not use it myself. maybe you can light me up on that one then

EDIT:

Lets hope it gets implented in the base LFS game, and not only for 6 speed transmission.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

wow that was the second fastest reply i had on these forums lol. welldone

i asked for you here Marty :

ty.

Btw i noticed the pact mod gearbox thing only works for the 6 speed tranny.

I hope it just gets implented in the LFS game, not just a mod.

Ok. But still. Even with that corrected lighting thing, I doubt that all default colors of the cars will suddenly all look modern.

I still think that some could use an update, but maybe after the Graphics update, to get a better view. (so they dont have to change it twice)

Quote from Evolution_R :

@Marty_Deslions, check 'Graphics Progress Reports' - https://www.lfs.net/news/type/-2
Everything will be updated, the whole lighting system (including colors, shaders etc.)

Ok. But I dont see anything about the default car colors (RGB) getting an update. The update is more like the graphics things, right? Like the total look of the game and objects/

So I noticed how some of the "default" car colors a player can choose look quite, how do I say this, "unique".

I think some colors could really be improved, to make them look better and more modern.

This looks to me as a small update, since the colors are based on the RGB system.

I'm not saying ALL colors are outdated and need replacement, just some.

In the pictures below I have some examples of how some colors could be modernized/refreshed. (no, they are not just darkened)

Since the 0.6V update the MRT can now be equipped with road tyres.

On cruise servers the MRT with slicks was pretty fun, especially in corners.

However, I noticed how it now handles worse with roadtyres on the road. It tends to understeer quite fast. I think this could be solved by giving it some wider tyres.

If they would add a way to choose a tyres size for MRT (bigger/wider), that would make the MRT more attractive to drive on cruise server again.

I have this small suggestion after the 0.6V update:

Since UFR and XFR can now be fitted with hybrid and knobbly tyres, maybe add a default rallycross setup in the garage? So the suspension/gearing/wheels will be ready for rallying. Players will also be able to build their own set from this Default rally set.

I know there was once some mod out there that made the automatic shifting more logic.

But my suggestion is that they will implent a more realistic shifting behaviour.

The idea is that when you don't floor it, like when you're just cruising on some cruise server, the automatic transmission will upshift faster, and not keep the needle in the power band all of the time. So lets say you speed up to 100kmh, and then you keep driving that, with like 10% throttle imput, after a few seconds, it will shift up to like 5th gear @2000 rpm or so.

This way the engine will not keep screaming at 6k rpm when you're in some 120kmh zone.

To give an idea of what I mean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11SXfs8gtQA

If you combine this idea with my other automatic clutch suggestion, it could give a nice realistic transmission experience.
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thre ... tch-with-%22creep-mode%22

Since I'm fond of driving automatic myself, I have a suggestion:

Add an option for a "creep mode".
So when the player has automatic clutch/automatic shifting selected, have an option to let the automatic clutch slip a little, even when the engine is idling.
When you let go off the brake, the auto-clutch will automaticly engage just slightly, as if it were a real automatic transmission. In real life, you'll see this on most automatic cars, even some semi automatics (automated manuals) come with this feature programmed in the ecu/computer.

To get the idea, please search for "tesla creepmode" on youtube.
I know Tesla is electric, but it gives you the idea of what I mean.


EDIT: I REFRAIN FROM THIS SUGGESTION.

Dont "normal" games need licenses for representing real cars?

How is that with skins inspired of real cars?

Quote from MousemanLV :

TC - Administrators do know how to handle things very well, always making sure the players have the best possible experience. Both servers and forums are well managed. It is great to have a server like TC, they have set a good example on how things should be ran - professionally as well as dedicating themselves to make sure others have a great time.

Yea I agree with that they got there stuff well managed, but I think TC is not that good as a cruise server, but more like a cops and robbers server. Just driving around isnt always that fun since the insim thing will punish you if you speed too much or whatever. Plus sometimes there is just alot of stuff on the road, which sometimes creates a very small/tight driving space. For example overpass.

Quote from cargame.nl :

This kid has two weeks LFS, do the math.

I bought a new account. -_-

And since when is cargame a cruise server?
