cars thar run *internal wastegates* will have the problem of boost taper as I know it and even the other way of overboost as the wastegate kreeps as well so if u want to get all technical, shifting earlier and flooring it should make boost spike as well, in race cars they usually run external gates which holds the boost right to max rpm and is controlled more reliably with ems

if the game is going to mature this far as to even map volumetric efficeny for each car and turbocharger,I would seriously look at using a phisics card api etcetc to do this work, as the way i see it im no programmer, but there is going to be a lot of calculations going on in this game when its finihsed (I hope it develops this far) :woohoo:

would be a great feature, for online 2 players tail to nose in the twisties if the leader spreads the gap u win, if the chaser keeps up they win

we need a rotary powered car/kart this would be perfect oportunity

drifiting is fun, but unfortunalty the tyres dont last, like a 1/2 a lap if the track is big other then that its really fun, especially on auto X tracks that some people are making

well I would still like to discuss on a mature level why there has been a recent flurry of these threads

and I have to agree with the original thread maker and also some other valid comments
this isnt going to go away, no one is saying they hate the game or moved on, people are just trying to still show lfs has potential but just isnt going forward.....
please continue ........

people seem to get so beat up the fact that someone is asking what the hell is going on with this game, I mean give it a rest they are asking,
afterall we are all investors really we all pay a certain amount to play and we get to test a relay what needs to be fixed, it would be great for the devs to at least update the site and a small journal, like the BF2 mod i am a tester for, really no comments, no updates, a finished when its finished attititude get a game no where, I helped the PR side of my mod and the fan base has trippled since people are getting regular updates and get a good taste of what is to come,
I have sent a email to the devs asking about updates a few weeks ago and i got
as far as updates im not aliberty to discuss I mean bad Pr

and as far as ppl saying why post on a forum its not really about you (yes read that again) its really so everyone can come together and share their own thoughts about what direction lfs is going weather flamed or not, so I think people found my flame me whatever commnent a little tatty it wasnt my intention I was mearly trying to activate what the community thought about my post which was the exact opposite you were thinking,

I guess im just after more in LFS, I mean in the patch section i have U30 installed, little or no differences except for like
changed the speedo, I just really believe the wrong things are being fixed,
I mean the collisions are totally screwed yet we get a new speedo

no my opinion weather people car or not is my opinion, so what is your point to your statement exactly
its my own concept of where i think lfs is going, thats what the title of this thread is about

I personally think Lfs is going nowhere
graphics still DX7
no new cars besides bf1 and a rush job that was, in a F1 car everything is changable even the diff settings on the fly, fuel managment, tc is just hopeless
no new tracks justa variation of old ones, like we put a corner in here WoW
only 1 person can connect a t a time (very primative)
no asymetrical suspension settings
LSD effect needs major improvment seriusly

these are very core compnants necessities yet i see in patches
*fixed speedo
the unlock system is uber ghey
I feel the wrong things are being worked on in improving it
personally if I dont see some skirt blowing improvments im not handing over any more cash
flame, freeze, abuse aggree do as you please
my opinion
peace

rac i think would be the best

im starting to ask myself this after following this game for almost a year now, its just the same old same old, no improvments or new tracks for ages just variations
still only 1 person can connect at a time, no asymetrical tuning of suspension, really the F1 car is quite a rush job, a real F1 you would adjust anything from the cabin
graphics are still dx7 typre comparable to GP4
feel fre to flame me agree with me whatever I dont think ill be buying the next installment, unless I start hearing whats next in the big improvment, problem is I will just get a msg just from the developer like its ready when its ready type attitiude, as i have tested and helped develop mods before
lets see what this post brings

I think a more benifical peice of hardware will be phisics calculators, like ageia and the soon to be releassed havok on gpu type from nvidia, that would have a better effect then dual core optimization, in terms of gameplay
and before you all jump and say some ppl will have it and some wont which will make an imbalance, we are racing sim finatics, if we really want to experience the best buy a phisics card simple

l LOVE U VICTOR OR SCAWEN
got 1 unlock *dances*

honestly 1 per month is a bit tight, 2 would be great, as im always upgrading and changing stuff
its really quite inconvienant

about half an hour ago im really stressing, cause there are 50 racers, and if I miss this I have to qualify to get back into the series otherwise im on the bench

yeah I sent a contact us and a pm but no one replyed yet,

I have already, but thanks for pointing that, out, unfortunatly I cant pm scawen so I thought id try this , im at a desperate stage, as our opening race in a fox competition is starting tonite, i really need one

man i have bad luck with computers , I have a race on tonite, and i dont havee an unlock left, I even copied it to another hardrive but it still went to demo mode

please help me I am at the mercy of u oh great developer

I also hate the wheel, I dont want a wheel and driver , but you cant see the revs or anything, if u want the static gauges u have to go out of car veiw to get them

definatly need more asemetric adjustments, i mean sometimes u just need 1 notch of dampening force on one damper to correct over,understeer
would be sooo much better

also I think with the picture of the car in the suspension settings it needs to be on a road e.g a different colour to the background, so u can better determin the sill rake

I brake with my right and even heel to and blip accelerator when downshifting, call me old fashioned but thats how u do it in real life

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Isn't static ride height when the car is stationary on a flat surface?

thats my interpretation as well, both of these questions needs to be cleared up i think

Quote from Gentlefoot :

so knowing the difference between the ride height front and rear and the wheelbase you should be able to work that out surely.

it isnt that easy , as you way well know,
to the eye the rear ride height to look even to the front height may have a 20mm difference, it would just be easier to tell if that was showen in the suspension screen

yeah its the change in height between front and rear horizontally front to rear

could someone go thru all options on what they mean, asi thought i am turning everything up, but when game is loading i get
<loading shaders> Medium and i thought i was turning it right up
