Hey Bunder !
Since a couple of days I've been working on a new league idea with restricted GTR and normal mini-GTR cars to make them perform like an upgraded version of their road legal counterparts.
The car list includes :
- UFR
- XFR
- XRR
- FXR
Obviously no FZR because it would be pointless to reduce it below the stock power-to-weight ratio of the FZ5
I've been doing the balancing and the testing, so far it seems to work quite well. I did so that every car had like its flaws and its good aspects, but I need some more testing time
If you're interested to work with me, send me a PM and I'll give you the list of balancing
Moreover, I was thinking of doing a league with a specific idea : having "standard parts" to choose from (e.g. Each driver/team chooses at the beginning of the league a specific set of transmission ratios for his car that he will have for the whole league - and he also chooses a set of three different final gear ratios). For the moment, I think that building up an Insim program from scratch to check that the setups meet the part requirement is a bit too complicated and too long, so it will have to be humanly enforced, at least for starters.
PM me if you're interested

I second that, Wankel engines have a good power-to-displacement ratio.
Why are people so negative with that ?

I'm not too found of drift videos in general but this one is very good!
9.5/10 (-0.5 for the two times you understeered on the grass

Yes it is, but the throttle won't make the rear wheels spin (OBVIOUSLY).
FWDs can pull quite impressive angles, just steer hard while lifting off and e-brake with no clutch, then pedal hard to stabilize it and to the metal to end the drift.
The trick is the steering inputs at the entries. If you fail them, then you'll have failed your whole corner and end up on the grass or the wall
Well actually you are one of the two (or more if you manage well) participants of that actions, which mean you can influence events to favor you, so go hit some clubs
(To everyone)
But what people fail to understand is that none of their forum post can have a positive action on the development speed, and can only lead to frustration from the devs whom, in return, may lower the speed even more.
If you want to participate to the development, build some tools and create tracks/cars/etc but don't moan
Yeah, the japanese commentators and TV presentators tend to be over excited at anything !
Like I remember some show presenting the new Super High FPS camera (for super slow motion), and each time they were seeing something intereseting they were like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TSUUUUUUUUUUUUGOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
And please tell me who you are to tell people that have been working for 7 years on the software what they should do and when they should do it?
If I was a developper of an online game, with a large community, it would be this kind of statements that would make me less inclined to work faster...
Stop acting moronic please... What do the skaters have to do with that?
Come on, I don't know what the skaters in Austria sound like, but from what I recall when I was skateboarding the "gibberishy slang" is just a technical set of expressions referring to special tricks.
I am pretty sure that if you came to a group of skaters or hotly fashioned girl and exposed them what you knew about the thermodynamics of a cylinder head in respect to the materials used in the valves, the valve springs and the camshafts, they wouldn't give a damn and look down upon you just as you look down upon the skaters.
So please stay focused on topic please. Drifters, snowboarders and skateboarders have nothing to do together. This is a motorsport forum, so let's talk about motorsports
Back on topic, the "gripper" expression is totally bullshit.
I am living in the USA now (Seattle), and I think that around 8:00 PST (West Coast), there is a bunch of servers going online.
Moreover, don't forget the permanent servers (NDR and RSR provide GREAT experience)
Yeah, LFS is one of the best investment I made in terms of a game. I bought my license almost two years ago (wow time flies by...) and I never stopped enjoying it.
From what I have tried, it's the most realistic driving software. (more than Forza, the GT serie, etc).
The variety of cars is simply amazing. Sadly, it is not exhaustive yet, but i'm sure it will be. There are no karts at the moment, but you have the MRT which is the closest to a kart (it is a car made by the McGill racing team according to the FSAE serie specs, I'm sure you've heard of it so it's more like a mini single-seater). You also have got several open wheelers with different power/handling ranges. Finally, the tin-top/GT selection is very diverse, providing different kind of fun when you want .
There are no stockcars yet, but there is a tri-Oval track. The GTR cars seem to fit in perfectly to simulate stock car racing (especially the XRR that is a front-engined RWD with 490hp and 2200pounds).
There are lots of permanent servers that you can join which offer a very good support and racing. For the moment, I find the RSR and NDR servers pretty amazing ! You have Rallycross tracks, and support to make your own layouts (add objects to the tracks, so that you can build a rally track using the patches of dirt outside of the tracks). You can drift if you want as well and there are lots and lots of personnally owned drift servers. Some players like cruising (a kind of driving for fun game to unlock the cars - but it's just specific to these servers, otherwise you can drive any car you want on any trac you want at anytime you want ).
Trust me, for some dollars it's a great investment. Especially with the dollar/euro or dollar/pound exchange rate, you'll be really enjoying your product compared to the money spent

This is a bad bad bump
In the options, when you choose shifter or sequential or paddle has got nothing to do with the actual transmission of the car
For example, a 6 speed shifter (like in the G25 or fanatec) won't work with the FXR (well it will work, but only to go up one gear or down one gear, you can move it directly from 5th to 3rd for instance).
In the options you set up your controller, in the setup your set up your car
What exactly does JOOS stand for ?
It would be cool for the technical aspect of the game, but it would seriously work like NOS in the NFS serie :
- You press a button
- You gain more hp for a defined period of time
- It recharges by doing some specific actions (braking in that case opposed to sliding or avoiding cars in the NFS series).
It is not a very good technical improvement in the F1 World, but we should be all thankful to the environmentalist commission who convinced the European Parliament to pass a bill that the FIA should do so that "motorsports must be the showroom of the new green and clean technologies that will be implemented next in the mass production cars". I think environmentalism has got some interesting points about ressource management and sustainable development, but it shouldn't interfere with sports and alter its spirit.
Back on topic, the 2009 F1 cars look really cool (except for the rear wing, but that's not the point) and I am totally up for any new car. However if you implement it, please do it without the KERS
I really can't see how HeadCancer is offensive ?
Plus, if you are offended because a guy in front of his screen has a nickname like "I F|_|CK you", you might have serious issues of self-esteem. I mean, I really don't care about how people call me in front of a computer, because you have to know that on the Internet people tend to behave more extremely than they would do IRL (Emokids, flamers, camgirls, etc).
By the way, you are 16 years old, so it's normal that you might feel offended with that, but I'm sure you have other things to worry about at your age Like getting laid the first time or drinking beer till you puke, IDK So stop worrying about that, it's not a big deal boy !

I am not opposed to the idea, but what I kinda dislike is that it would segregate people.
Also, since racing with faster guys is a very good way to improve, people from a lower level may progress even slower.
Otherwise I am not against the idea, as long as its goal is to promote close racing rather than just creating 'classes' among drivers

Anyway, back on topic,
Scania's list seemed good to me
The only thing I don't like is that there are too many variations of the existing cars. Maybe add some more exotism to the game would be nice.
For instance, since the LX4 can fit in a similar class as the TBO's, why not have a front engined midweight (like the XFG) RWD NA roadster to go along with them.
And I would definetely see a Corvette-like and a Lamborghini/Skyline GTR-like (depends where you want the engine to be ) in the LRF class as well. So that to give more variety to the grid and the experience

Yeah that's what they say : if they don't know who is admin, they there is a greater number that won't take the risk to **** around
