some crazy finnish stuff...

highly addictive, tho'

congratulations!

heh, i like them,
inspired by cubism, wasn't you?

here it is

LFS not only gets best multiplayer and best physics award, but also becomes

congratulations

kamo2000: thank you and I think, you don't need to feel sorry, it was actually pretty fast

but I was so impatient...

my teammate just finished & uploaded this fantastic video
it should appear really soon at http://lfs-news.bluepixel.dk/m ... t/default.asp?movieid=575

anyways, here is the setup, it should by WR (driven by teammate)

again that liveforspeed babe, but from better angle here

Our dear Chaos is indeed very modest, HE is the guy with golden wreath! Congratulations to you! And you deserve not only gratulations, but also hearty thanks for absolutely brilliant organization and almost flawless flow of the championship.

congratulations n!faculty, ocrana & pod racing, what a race...

I quess, it just does mean, how spring loads thus frequencies change. As you can't be absolutely consistent, you just get unique curve for each test run. The peaks can represent, again, weight transfer... Sounds credible to me, but I'd anyways rather wait for colcob or further Bob's analysis

that was some racing! and they had like one hour for training before race, inbelievable....
EDIT: congratulations Nils Naujoks...

Quote from deggis :

...That can't be true. illepall Are taking part of the strongest man on Earth competition?...

It actually feels too weak to me..., maybe this small electric engine running FFB is broken or something like that....
EDIT: well, not weak, but it feels just right, not too strong and weak neighter (grammar corections appreciated)

200 percent in LFS

now comes the Great Final Race, doesn't it?
edit: next week then? or is my german really that bad?

what a race!

brilliant work! the acceleration coloured line helped me pretty much with my consistency...

I've tried to recreate some V12 engine for UF1000 , but only FO8 has V configuration, so the engine is in FO8, until we can change that... I hope we won't wait until LFSTweak...

It's from BMW M70, 5.6L 12 cylinder in 60 degrees V shape. Info is from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M70
Max power: 380bhp / 280kw @ 5300rpm (380bhp @ 5295 in LFS)

Max torque: 550 Nm @ 4000rpm (575Nm @ 4008 in LFS)

Max rpm: 6000-6400 rpm *Gearing (5500 is already red in LFS, this is only value i couldn't match, the max power tended to be very near max revs, so i prefered right revs for max power and torque over max rpm)

i've tried, it doesn't work

P04 doesn't work for me, while previous versions did.
Runtime error 713, missing one dll, msstdfmt.dll Strange is that I downloaded this, put it in my windows\system folder and nothing changed at all, still the same error...

Indeed Bob, it is one of the worst setups I've seen too. Therefore I needed some explanation, why it handles how it does. Anyways, would it be possible to archieve same handling characteristics with reasonable settings? Would this reasonable set reach same grip levels?
Then one OT question for guru's again: "What's the difference between spring rate and wheel rate?" Has it something to do with stiffness of wheels (AFAIK they should act as spring too) added to the springs?
If I knew exact stiffness of a spring in a real car, it would be spring rate and I had to do some calculations to determine wheel rate and only now I could feed LFS with these data, right? (speaking mostly about tweaks now)

btw. thank for your response Bob

In czech league we're now racing FXO's (with skins which mimic Skoda Octavia ). Firstly I decided to do my own setup. It was fairly conventional one, balanced springs, strong rear sway bar and some toe-out to reduce the dreadful power-understeer. I was like 2 percents slower than the guys. Eventually I gave up and tried their settings. Few corners I didn't see the way, how it could be so fast, but then i realized it was giving me OVERSTEER while on gas (to some extent, i mean until the turbo kicked in). Now I would beg some physics & setups guru to explain me, how it works (attaching *.set now), my non-sophisticcated quess would be, it has something to do either with dampers, or the "it's so tight it's loose" phenomenon.....
