No one is talking about cruising here though

Unfortunately I couldn't find the original full-scale of that particular shot but I have another one from the same scenery (not as good though I think)http://www.flickr.com/photos/9 ... 8/sizes/k/in/photostream/
This is the largest one I got from the same shot

A vob mod can cause this too though.
It's called parallel steering in LFS. Basically, the inner wheel steer more than the outer. With 0% parallel steering your loaded front wheel can steer further out while drifting so you can get more angle. However, it makes the other wheel steer less so as the load shifts between your front wheels you get an unstable drift. With more parallel steering (aka less ackermann) you get less steering angle but a more balanced drift.
Joystick is indeed the best you can get. It gives you an axis input for the handbrake. If you can find a way to hook a real handbrake up to a joystick potentiometer, you got yourself a nice handbrake.
You want to make sure your setup is error friendly. Negative front camber and stiff front springs. Removing the ackermann can also help if you're having trouble 'balancing' the drifts. You want understeery setups basically because they don't require the same precision when driving.
A very strange definition of manliness.
You should mount that shifter down in waist level.
This comes as a surprise to me. Judging from the video it seems that there actually is collisions on this map.
It's comparable to drawing a course out with chaulk. It's still a course but nothing happens if you crash. All though, since there is no elevation changes going on it's no more interesting than a normal autocross layout IMO.
Since when are you so anti-drifting? Didn't you host a drifting server and a drifting team or something like that? And now you say drifting doesn't fit the LFS-picture?
We've gone trough this like 30 times in this thread. It could be used for hill climbing, touge racing AND drifting. Yes, it would be used for drifting. It's a very desired addition. But hey, it isn't a flat race track and it doesn't look very similar to the already existing content. So there for it doesn't fit the LFS concept and should not be added?
If a bunch of mod tracks came out for LFS, it would ruin the game. It's one of the reasons to why LFS is more successful than rFactor. The fact that everyone got the same content and that people don't need to download mods to be able to play online against other people.
Edit: At least I think LFS is more successful :P

I don't think you know how copyright works. Just because the tracks are made by 'random' people doesn't mean anyone can use them however they want. Especially not the developers of a commercial product. In addition to that, the LFS devs don't want to use content made by this community, so why would they take content from a different community?
That's because it's done by the community. Communities usually never care about copyright and stuff.
There is a lot more to racing than what you describe. Racing is sometimes done going from point A to point A around a circuit. Sometimes several laps. And it does indeed matter how you do it. For instance you're usually not allowed to short-cut over the grass.
If drifting equals racing is irrelevant to the topic. However, the fact that this type of course would greatly benefit both racers and drifters, and whoever does something in between is relevant. Also, there is no current resemblance of this type of course. In my opinion, this is one of the things LFS currently needs the most.
No. You can't just officially import other peoples work into a game like that. Also, there would still be a lot work that needs to be done. Like adding the collisions mesh.

It wouldn't be a reason for me not to play! However, I don't have an iPhone or iPad. If I did it would depend on how interesting it looks.
Edit: As long as you do like LFS and make cars corresponding to popular real cars. Like a 2.0 4cyl turbo coupe with RWD.

I never said it's easy to build a big open map from scratch. Also, I never said that should be done. And neither does the poster of this thread, from the way I percieve it. Of course there are people who would want it but even I agree that it's unrealistic. However a rework on South City isn't unrealistic. It would benefit racers by giving them more layouts. It would be beneficial to cruisers. It would be beneficial to everyone.
Also let's make another thing clear. An open map isn't my suggestion and I'm not just arguing because I desperately want to see this happen. The reason I'm arguing is because of the attitude which exists on this forum towards any suggestion which is presented in an incorrect way and towards the posters of these suggestions.
If you had any confidence at all in the developers of LFS, you wouldn't feel the need to defend this game at all costs displaying a bad attitude in the process.

Reason : One sentence came out the wrong way
If it's all cosmetic, it's not that interesting IMO. Even if it's there for the looks, it doesn't look that good.

This looks better in my opinion (refering to the grass and trees) and it's been there for a while (doesn't work in 0.6 though
)
