Thanks for the update @ Scawen
Just out of interest, do you get any outside help with creating the tire model in terms of understanding how it works and assumptions that can be made or do you really try to do it on your own with lots of books?

Apart from that and I really do know how this sounds, but is there any way to release just a content update (GTR cockpits as example) from Erics side? I realize that the plan is to get the physics update done first, but as far as I understand your post that might be "some" time away still.

What happened is that it's not just changing a few lines of code here and there and everything else will still work but quite the opposite apparently. Scawen coded a new tire model to find out that the old model for tire wear and heat couldn't be used anymore so he had / has to recode that too. The Scirocco comes with limited Setup options so the basic setup needs to be "realistic" to drive. And as todays cars have from what I think a more sophisticated suspension than the current LFS model can simulate it needed to be redone as well. Not speaking of that one system affects the other.

If that all justifies the time it's been taking so far is another matter, it's definatly not an easy task.

I don't know why but I'm waiting for / expecting the follow up article stating that someone is suing Nintendo for making a gun shaped controller...

Though I hope that the poor parent has learned his lesson.

Overtaking will be close to impossible, not even speaking of the curbs and the chicane after T1 which will cause epic carnage once the first car of a group hits the tire stacks...

Rest might be fun

Isn't it kinda sad that you can alreday tell by the thread title alone that it happend in the USA?

Leaving a gun alone in the living room and open for any children to play with... can you behave even more stupid?

Is it a bug or a feature that the race is on a Saturday? Final round of MoE is that day...

If you don't take the driver and track into account then probably yes. But as each driver has a different driving style there is no perfect set that fits all. A driver prefering understeering sets will be slower in an oversteering set etc. Also different tracks require different settings (bumpy vs. flat). It's not just doing 2 + 2

My point is that it is unrealistic and the option should be removed as it will / can be exploited with the use of macros or whatever.

A clutch should only be applied to an axis of a controller.

EDIT 2: It was my dad's laptop it turns out. One of the files was the same damn one he got. I have to fix his laptop every week - he really is that bad.

Maybe you should not give him an administrative account for normal usage then, eh?

Book of Eli

Rather disappointing, nearly the whole world (well... american) population dies and nearly all who survived are either criminals or religious kooks. To add that people aren't able to maintain the places they are living in and prefer housing in something that looks like it has just survived a hurrican (note: the event in question happend 30 years ago)...
Only worth watching because Denzel Washingtion is looking cool as usual.

I'd vote for A, seems to be the most logical.

About the lines. There are quite a few tracks where it's not clever to follow them (so6 for example), will there be special rules for those kind of tracks if we hit em? Also I'm not sure if there is any real world league where the watch the pit entry (if you take F1 @ Nürburgring).
