If you check it from your camera view, you can see you could have gone wider. I was already next to you (might have surprised you I think), but you didn't really choose a wider line. I know I was aggressive, but that wasn't clearly my fault. I had overtaken some other drivers as well, and everything worked fine.

PS: at 0:36 you can clearly see you are on the ideal line, although I was next to you, even a bit ahead

Well this thing fails in so many aspects you can't call it FAIL, neither a win, cause it simply isn't a win. Only WOEFUL left as a proper definiton of the above written
This thread totally made my day, I'm so happy I found it

Quote from BoneCrusher :I don't see extracting setup info from a .spr file as stealing. As the information in de .spr file is given to you. What you read out of it, is up to you.
I don't understand the discussion about WR setup info in the first place, if you don't want to show it to others, than don't upload the .spr
Racing is about driving skills, not about knowledge of the setup

There is a reason why don't real racers share their telemetry data with others. Making good setups requires some knowledge, logic, time and hard work too. It doesn't fair, when someone makes a set, drives a WR (even if set has little to do with it), and than X just watches the telemetry data, and gets most of the info in 10 secs, which sometimes took hours for the owner.
It's basically like cheating. You don't know the answer/solution, so you copy.
I don't upload hotlaps any more, and the reason is I don't really want to share some setups and ideas with the competition (mostly hungarian scene). Theres public level racing, and theres serious league racing, where you really want to keep all advantage you have. Thats what makes you faster than others.

Nice stuff coming there. Seems like another long delay of the Scirocco and company.

You can also install Everest, it tells you everthing about your pc, so you can figure it out what vga you have.
Also you can't tell a CPU's performance from its clock speed. Usually newer generation CPUs are much faster at the same clock speed than older ones.

For example, my C2D E8200 at 2,66ghz pumps out 2,5x more FPS in LFS than my friend's Pentium D945 at 3.4ghz (with same spec PC). Even at 1,5ghz the C2D owns the Pentium D...

They look even funnier when they actually do it. Nice lag they have sometimes

Quote from Bandit77 :Makes sense, because humans "only" see / process 60 to 65 pictures a second.
(honestly, I thought it were a lot fewer until I asked google again )

About changing conditions: I also get this feeling that sometimes you can approach a certain part of the track under the very same conditions - same fuel, same tyre condition, same 'pressure' (i.e. you're alone in a training session), same line, and do the same thing and the car behaves totally different than the last time. Of couse, this made me think something fishy's going on. But then again maybe your line or brake point was just a wee bit different and there was a bump which you would have FELT in real life but you don't even notice in LFS. Nevertheless your car is affected by the bump and will react to it.

Is it totally cool and realistic from an "outside perspective"? Yes.
Does it FEEL totally cool and realistic behind your desktop-controller? No.
It feels totally random because you have to react to something you couldn't anticipate.

I still think some aspects of "mathematical realism" have to be reduced in order to compensate for the lack of perception one has in front of a PC and to increase the "felt realism".

EDIT: but let's see what the new tyre model will bring.

Well, thats the difference in WR pace, and 1-2 secs from WR pace. It also depends on the setup, but you really gotta know what to do when you are at a corner. Lets say you are at a left-right combination. If you brake just a tad late, or miss the weight transfer just a little bit, you find yourself in a huge understeering situation.
So it's avoidable, you just gotta know what to do and why, otherwise it's the car driving you around which is not that good imo

It's doesn't make any dofference in physics. More fps just makes the game smoother, so you can be more precise. It really means a lot if you want to drive it on the edge, but even if you are a couple of tenths off the pace.
I'd say you need at least 60 fps to be able to drive comfortable, but you can even notice difference between 60 and 100.

Quote from RasmusL :Well, braking while going forward WILL result in what happens in LFS:

I don't see the problem?

I can't find a video in reverse, and I'm not about to go out and try it now ^^

He was talking about braking with the handbrake.

Quote from RasmusL :I don't know what your problem is exactly, but if it's simply oversteer turning into a corner, perhaps you're going just a tad too fast.. I'm not really good in FWD cars, but that's what I've experienced. Throttle cures oversteer too, of course
And why is your turn compensation set to .85? Setting it to 1.0 gives you linear steering.

0 will give you linear steering, not 1.0. Can't imagine how can people drive with anything above 0, it just feels so wrong...

This game is simply a joooooooooooooooke. Unplayable. They say do a lap to help them set up the car. I did a perfect lap, and they put on all the driving aids. Then I removed them manually, and first race the car was steering and brakign itself!! JOKE.
