im just wondering how do u ppl reckon clutch overheating will work, and what happens when the clutch overheats?
Maybe it'll start acting randomly like you would have to press the clutch repeatidly untill it goes to the gear. No clue really, really good question. How does it happen in real life? (Dont have a car :P)
When you slip clutch it produces heat and starts to slip. So for example if you shift really quick and be on throttle lot before clutch grips, you will get clutch slippage that heats it up.
And when it gets too hot, it won't grip anymore and will slip when you apply power. Kind of like when the brakes get too hot.
I wonder if Scawen added a gauge or indicator in the tire temp view for the clutch?
thought as much, but then people using auto clutch wouldn't they have a big advantage as they wouldn't have to worry about this?
I think it was mentioned that even with auto clutch you would have to let go of the gas pedal so maybe if you dont do it right itll heat it up and start causing it to slip.
Btw does flat shifting heat up the clutch?
generally in racing when they "flat shift" they will still be using the clutch but it will just be pressing it while the accelerator is still being used, so effectively the clutch is still being slipped
Only if they use throttle cut, too, otherwise they have to lift a little.
How could it not?
But then if flat shifting is the same as the clutch sliping how is it slowing you down?
And btw Forbin i didnt say that i quoted that.

But if they flat shift they will get it too, at least I hope
I have destroyed clutch of one stupid FWD thing, tried to burn rubber with it as I got really annoyed by boss (company car) and I then managed to get it slip a bit at full rpm, few times more and it was clutch that slipped, well it was not long before it was slipping even when doing quick shifts and after I started to be near office (20km trip) damn thing started to slip even if I pushed throttle (handbrake that I 'forgot' did not caused any of this of course) so it took quite some time to make it into state of not moving but end result was brilliant, it did idle rather fine on 1st gear and did not manage to move no matter what you did to it
Stupid boss, his fault
Anyways after it gets hot it starts to slip more and more indeed and amount of slippage increases faster / longer you abuse.
However engine control units have program for flat shifting that cuts rpm when shifting so there is not so much slippage as if you would do it in LFS throttle floored.
Reminds me of my neighbors when I still lived at my parents house. We called him Hoover, as that was his last name. There was Hoover, Hoover's brother, Hoover's other brother, and Hoover's dad. We never called them by their first names. That's all I know them by....
"Who you talking about, Hoover's brother?"
"No, Hoover's other brother..."
cant wait to burn my clutch
LOL thats probably guna be the first thing ill try to do.
Stall the engin and burn my clutch.
Holy crap, 14000 views in one day!
lol, well people are interusted in this patch more then the others apperently. When is it gunna be realeased again? Before or after chrismas?
omg a new car!!!!!!1
That would be a 1.2 ELEU
How does a 'merican know all that ... eh? (just for you Mikey)
Indeed. In that case this patch so far is a .8 ELEU
I wondered the exact same thing, I hope so. Although the more advanced things get, I'd like to see the server side option to disable the indepth viewing, and dumb it down to whatever's available in real life for endu races and whatnot. But, more cool data to show of LFS is always better under normal circumstances to me.
ROFL at that post
He said before Christmas, which means it's basically just being tested otherwise he wouldn't say that probably.
So happy a new open wheeled car Cant wait to see it.
Cant wait to see it.If throttle cut option is not removed, then it'd be extremely lame. *waiting for keyboarders to react this* You'd think when the gearbox and clutch has been finally worked, it would be done properly at once... so built in throttle cut in the sequential gearbox for race cars that might most likely have it. Then it would be a car feature instead of driving aid.
I was "this close" not even checking general discussion tonight
All improvements sounds great but I'm underwhelmed about one thing... no mention about tyres. Just little disappointing if it means looong wait until another incompatible patch (though sounds like the cockpits are coming later, in another incompatioble patch or huh?).ps. If that "ideal race line" is not some AI debug mode thing... then I wonder why it's added. I thought LFS was supposed get rid of this "arcade stuff" instead of getting more of it.
has there ever been a single physics incompatible patch in the entire history of lfs that didnt include at least some minor changes in the tyre model ?
Everybody sing...................
"It's the end of flat shifting as we know it, It's the end of flat shifting as we know, and I feel fine!!!"
"It's the end of flat shifting as we know it, It's the end of flat shifting as we know, and I feel fine!!!"
Great! Im really, I mean really looking forward to this new patch. Thx devs, Im quite suprised. Thx again! 
Soon the nolifing begins and it is a good chance to make crazy online user record. And [SR] Ai only ! server becomes serious. Servers could add option to add AI-s. 
Don't know about S1 era. S2 have had only one physics patch (and this is the second), so then again useless to make assumptions based on release history.. I'd like to be optimistic though. Somehow the video left a feeling that there's something more, that at least some things, might be small or big, were not yet mentioned but you'd think tyres would be a such a major thing that it would be hyped.
