Requested at least a hundred times before. I agree that it would be cool, but for now it doesn't need them as there is no night time, and devs already have a painfully long to-do list already.
Buy an 323F / Eclipse / Prelude / MR2 / C2-C5 Corvette / older Ferrari / older Lamborghini / older other car with this feature and enjoy!
Yea,model optimisation might come at some point (or not,who knows),until then there's a lot of more important stuff to do,unfortunatelly due some retards the priority list was increased recently again...
As for me, first thing would be night time, with working headlights. THEN i would go with better graphics.. There is always the ENB mod for anyone who thinks current LFS doesn't look good enough ;P
The XR does have popups. But the headlight motors are blown.. What can you expect from a 30 year old car. But seriously I think the devs will get to this stuff after the new graphics system comes out.
Working Pop-Up Headlights for XR - Suggestion with live demonstration
Hello Everyone,
Here's the suggestion, which consists of LFS Editor supporting a custom animation slot to animate certain parts of the car, which has a great effort-to-profit ratio when evaluating the results it can produce.
Potential benefits are: Pop-Up headlights, Active-Aero and etc. Also useful Flatbed Recovery Truck Mod (WIP) to deploy tracks for a car to walk up to the bed. It will add more flavour to the TC cruise server atmosphere, delivering race cars to a track, or recovering broken cars to repair area.
Animating rotation value of the Sub-Object is the easiest way around this issue. Positioning the pivot point of a headlight assembly to the Sub-Object's center is all it demands from the modder.
The video demonstration of a test mule:
Edit: Pop-Up headlights are now available, they added it!
if we open editor and load XR we found:
1. headlights in main object
2. wireframe show whats it's plane and not object
3. editor don't have subobject type like "rotable headlights"
It would be neat to see pop up headlights, it would improve illumination on the XRG and also affect a few car mods. They could also affect the drag coefficient, and are pretty cool.
Maybe after the night update?
