Quote from gu3st :https://mozaracing.com/product/moza-hgp-shifter

Then we got a moza shifter that will autoblip on downshifts.

Yes but it wont engage clutch on gear change?

It should run gta san andreas and thats just like driving bike mods in lfs.

Quote from k_badam :I don't think this as a cheat in the way we normally think of cheats in games/sims. This is more like an exploit of controls that the sim allows, there is nothing interfering with LFS. I think that the ability to use a button clutch should be removed, but calling something that has purposefully been put in the game a cheat is not correct.

I have used a macro tool in iRacing because it was impossible to be competitive in the old mx5 without it, but you can still be competitive in LFS without a button clutch macro.

My opinion is that just using button clutch is ok...it makes upshifts faster but braking and downshift is PITA. But you're still in confines of the game.

Where i draw the line is when you use external programs to automate downshift sequence. That is in my opinion cheating. A script does something that a driver should do.

Only cheat i can think of that is being used is macro button clutch and throttle blip...and even those are usually used by slower people.

Other than that, LFS is suprisingly clean...or atleast it feels that way.

Glad you enjoyed it Scawen, sorry for ruining your alnost finest moment..i had 0.2% fuel over line, but crucially enough for flat out blast from last turn Smile

Both races for me were big struggles and whats more puzzling is that I didn't understand why, although i think wind definitely played a role there. Some laps i managed to get nice good flow with the car, bit very often i got distracted by looking at fuel consumption and calculating stuff instead of driving, and that obviously resulted in clashes with the wall. Race 2 was worst race i ever had in LFSSmile

Quote from McWer :Hi,
Really enjoy Formula E competition despite driving in the back.
I have some questions regarding how formula E regeneration and how to best set up the formula for race and qualification.
1)Dos brake bias change regeneration if set more to the back?
2)Can you give suggestion how to correct set up race setup, for can I reduce top speed and get better acceleration? I have 0 knowledge how to LFS setups works.
3)Any tips how to correctly brake for better regeneration, do I need to brake hard, but not lock or brake evenly.

Any advice for beginner how to drive Formula E would be appreciated.

Hello, as a fellow new guy to this (did one race) i can try to help you with some answers, seeing as no one else step in.

1)Dos brake bias change regeneration if set more to the back?

Brake bias if set to rear will mean you can regenerate more. In theory it makes sense as long as you're not regenerating to the maximum and then just using discs. Would be better then to just use front discs, so less rearward bias. The gray bar that shows charging will help you setting up your best compromise. Remember that stronger brakes in car setup will give more recharge, and also remember that you can recharge more at higher speeds.


2)Can you give suggestion how to correct set up race setup, for can I reduce top speed and get better acceleration? I have 0 knowledge how to LFS setups works.

I think that as long as the car can accelerate well into the long straight you're ok, as long as you dont limit the speed with gears. Its electric motor, so not that much bothered by the revs.

3)Any tips how to correctly brake for better regeneration, do I need to brake hard, but not lock or brake evenly.

If you lock up, you dont regenerate at all. So dont lock up.


Your questions were about brake regeneration. But i think with this car, regeneration isnt worth it that much...it is FASTER overall to just lift and coast, and as for the car, generally try to have the fastest car possible, and that means the best brakes possible. So forget about regeneration, do few laps and try to find the limit with the car, i think fastest way will be to just lift and coast, then brake as hard as you can, as late as you can.

Hah, awesome picture. I might have caused all that ruckus by simply not knowing when i have to brake for turn 1 from pole, and probably put whole field into concertina effect.

I'm glad you liked it - you touch on to my favorite thing about LFS. It doesn't matter where in the grid you are, there is always someone with similar speed that you can race with, and racing is hella fun. We all get too caught up in updates and stuff that we fail to notice that the base that's avaible now is very much awesome and fun to drive. Hope to see you on track more.

Clutch pedal already would be awesome, just a simple graphical representation of recharging amount.

Considering some of these changes were for EV cars, maybe an addon of recharge gauge would not be bad.

IT could be a simple graph instead of clutch pedal graph or it could be something stylized like EV cars have. This is how it looks like in Hyundai Kona, its one graph for both power and charge - it shows you estimates in real time while you drive.

Just an observation - you say you'll make it full stock, so I'd like to point out that the picture you have isn't stock. Front bumper is from M3. If 330Ci would be equipped with m spec, it would have mtech2 front bumper.

Quote from Meseplayer :Hi all.

I'm trying to make a 1:1 car wrap of a LFS car with my own logos etc. I understand that the LFS cars are 3D objects from the beginning but due to playability the skins are redused to smaller picture size. This means that the cars looks more or less like Minecraft characters compared to a real photo of a car. My question, is it possible to create a "skin" or a other editable wrap of a LFS car if you don't have the skills to operate high end 3D software like Maya, 3DS etc.

Meseplayer

I do them in Adobe illustrator.

And i knew people did them in ms paint too.

I agree thats good stuff in iracing.

But what i like in current lfs racing sohere of only organized events is that you know when a race is, what combo is gonna be raced..so for people with "family life" its kinda easier to get prepared for a race and to organize free time at the time race that youd want to participate in is happening.

Quote from loopingz :Well most seasons/ligues have better attendance in the beginning than in the end. At cesav.es we are currently doing good for the pre season. Tomorrow 30 registered so far. If more people show up there will be two divisions.

People give up when they realize they are not good enough
