Because LFS AI are programmed to a single path and they rarely veer off that trajectory. Unlike games like Raceroom or rF where the AI are active (as in alive and able to calculate driving themselves) and "react" to situations, in LFS they just join the preset path.

So if you push them onto the grass their first reaction is to steer in the direction of the race path and then hammer the throttle to attempt to get on tarmac. Which doesn't work, of course.

Same reason why they don't move for blue flags or react to a stalled car fast enough.

AI in LFS is definitely passable in a race scenario but otherwise I'm sure they"re dude an update or two.

Amazing runs Niko, Pete. Didn't know what to expect running the BF1 around a banter course, but now I know.

I won't be accountable for any broken wrists!

Sweet! Industrial Erebus. :o

South City will have an expansion for sure. I'm certain.

Aston has the potential as well, to branch out several new courses. Given the size currently I'd say any decent expansion and it can be a mini Nordschleife.

Looking forward mainly to SO facelift and West wing development. SO needs it badly.

Quote from Scawen :

Would that problem be solved if one of the 3d kerb objects (e.g. from Blackwood) was included as a layout object?

EDIT: I guess not - looking at your pictures, there are a lot of reasons to put concrete objects slightly underground.

E.g. https://www.lfs.net/attachment/165190

A 3D Kerb object in the editor would help massively, will enable turns to be done smoother and kerbs to be placed more accurately. Although it doesn"t resolve all the purposes of putting underground concrete parts, it does solve the majority of issues regarding "Ramp kerbs".

Impressive! @Scawen that's an amazing job on the graphics, finally Aston gets a facelift.

Are you able to hint whether a new track is in the works for the near future?
Also, for the layouts created in Aston sky/Autocross here
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/90485-Nova%27s-really-good-circuit-layouts ,
Will I be able to transfer the track file and placement direct into the new environment? Or will it be another Blackwood situation where the coords will be different?

Anyhow, this graphical overhaul is dfinitely worth an discussion update over at AOR. Looking forward for the responses, as well as taking a spin in the updated tracks

Thanks for result, interesting lap progress chart

Here's my POV right at the back up to P4 - awesome battles with Lucaf and Mikanen

Great race! Timezone nearly had me.
Missed qualifying, had to start p23 dead last with no practice at all. Fun as heck slicing my way through the pack to p4. Thanks for all the battles, ding dong with you lucaf and the race, looking forward to the next one

@Scawen
I don't know if the following is related or relevant, but in redacted a popular server (check edit logs to read thanks), the server was able to be crashed and subsequently poached if a user attempts to connect from the same account from two seperate PCs or seperate IPs at the same time.

It happened pre-update and I think its fixed now and doesn't happen, but this unknown IP thing seems to gel really well with this theory.

Happens real quick too, two same usernames connected appear in the chat and then server instantly crashes. Hm.


Hope its not someone trying to nick servers, lol.

Ooh, you posted their IP.

Evil thoughts intensifies

Jk

Spiky :wink

There's a reason why you learn how to save... money.

iRacing although being the far superior sim, it also is superior in its monetary charges for content. One year of racing in iR can set you back hundreds.

73 laps! Ooh, tasty. Like a proper touring car enduro event. Mmmmm

Quote from Mikus1212 :

Oki mb, btw
"Predicted Pole laptime : 1:01.60" - i think its overextended xd
1.01.8x is barely impossible atleast for me. You are probably depending on tb's, but its impossible to get those 2 best sectors
at once.

That's why its a pole predicted time Mik

If tb is possible, actual time is definitely possible.

+1 if this was a suggestion.

But then LFS will have to adopt a stop marker style (AC?) or F1 codie's Auto grid. Either way, too much work I think for the Devs. But very nice idea

30 pole positions... like Rallycross..... but on steroids!

Someone else has been doing this for ages (well, cruise at least) - our resident noobist, GT4Tube.
He edits the clips, edits the replays, times everything. Not sure how you can work with pre-recorded clips mate.

Good luck with your compilation anyway.

@Rony

Check your PM. This is refurbished EPrix with safety measures in SC2 and not-as-awkward grid positionings. No physical track changes, you can drop the layout right in with no problem.

Refer to attached below, cheers

Quote from Eclipsed :

Combo for next race loaded in server Ronys Tuesdays Fun Race for testing purposes - since it's not a standart combination,possible laptimes have to be found out for distance calculation.
Combo is XRG at Autocross Hong Kong E-Prix (AU1)

Combo will stay until next RTFR race (scheduled for 24th july) will be set up.

Estimate sheet *will be updated as times roll

@michal I'd say Mid-Town Ring. Check it out in layout forum, it will host better race than the EPrix circuit

I rank my layouts in terms of race grade. Eprix is a Grade B (C being the lowest). Mid Town is a A, it has better appointments and is better suited to host larger races. Even has its own marshalling wall gaps!

But that being said, I'd love to see the Eprix getting another run, would be much more interesting seeing if the XRGs produce a tighter race than the slippy LX6s!

I've returned for a brief respite in Layoutting this year. This might be my one and only layout this time; I am indeed busy with other projects around Adobe, Sketchup, 3Ds, aaand you get the point!

A fully scaled and scanned DTM Norisring circuit... all coming up in the next edition




Scenery such as cranes and buildings will be at later date!
Just realised Turn 7 and 8 are slightly misscaled. Will adjust and put the scenery in! This will be nice!

Absence is key... haha. Sorry for the lack of posts!

Who's pumped for this track?
