Probably because popping is simulated when a tyre point reach ca. 200 C, and the tyres become soapy way before this point. I certainly don't know any tyres that are heated to 200 C, they stay at a lower temperature and pop because of wear, not temperature (mostly).

Hmm, you might be right. FZ5 might simply be heating the tires up to 200c in couple of laps instead of actually wearing them out, which causes a pop.

indeed

hi guys,

I didn't play LFS for almost a year now. Are there any news about the release date of the new tire physics + vw scirocco?

Check this thread's first post

and then wait for Scawen's 4000th post which will be full of patches.

yeah but the post was written the 25th November 2009 so I thought there are some new information.

If there was some new information, there would be a new thread by Scawen here or at lfs.net.

Stop trolling.

Everyone knows you want to show more posts per page.

When is the scirocco finally going to be in the game. I've been waiting for almost 2 years now :s

Well, that is not the last report.

and some posts around that area of time (some not that relevant).

The VW Scirocco is going to be released on 18. 10. 2010, at 10:42:21.147 UTC, so be prepared to download it. And do not forget to convert this time to your time settings, so you won't miss it

Lol you are just playing with me... Because seriously the launch was more than a year ago. I understand that things can go wrong and they need some time, but more than a year? How many things can you change, more work on 1 car than on the whole game...

No no, they are not working only on the VW Scirocco, but mainly on the new tyre physics.

Yeah okay I get that, but don't they have a date they think the VW will be released. I'm sorry for asking, but I guess everyone is waiting for it.

Well at least we are having civilised conversations now rather than agressive banter! :P

wild guess but it would seem like overheating the tyres doesnt increase wear like it probably should with the rubber disinitegrating at high temperatures and comming off the cord in chunks
on the whole id say that the tyres become more or less useless after 1-2 laps of drifting is quite correct

Hi there.

I'll "break the silence"... though I do think I said something quite recently.
[...]
it's true that I don't do the same hours that I used to in the early days, when LFS was my hobby, my passion and my work all in one. Now it's more my work, I have other interests as well and there are now other things in life that are more important, but LFS is something I want to be proud of. Something that I want out there and being enjoyed.[...]

There are many excellent programmers with that passion for LFS, many of us had seen in different places great mods, add-ons, and things like that, my question is: why don't you recruit some programmers and physic engineers?, there's a lot out there and maybe 2 or 3 more on the developement team could make bigger things!!!
We all love the passion of early days, that's why we play this simulator and try to contribute with ideas, or simply bringing new players to the game

ps: sorry about my english, i hope all of you can read this message as is, with a lot of excitement and expecting big good things for Scavier, and of course, Live For Speed!

That's been suggested time and time again, and Scawen has stated time and time again that that is simply not going to happen

And by the way we don't "need" to employ more staff so we can release more stuff and make more money. As most people know, the reason for the existence of LFS is because we decided to leave a game company and work in a completely different way. We have seen before and don't wish for the responsibility of employees and running a company, with all that would bring and the inevitable consequences of turning LFS into a full-blown commercial product where money would become the most important thing. There is no problem here, LFS development simply continues, it takes a while but gradually gets better over time, and that's fine! We are quite happy with it!
