it will be good if civilian cars in LFS could have more realistic engine output charateristics meaning more lower end torque...

Quote from Glenn67 :

I think alot are missing the point

LFS is a race simultator so naturally Scawen will concentrate on getting things to work close to realistic in race conditions, this sometimes means a temporay compromise in realism in normal driving conditions.

That has happened with tyre physics and now with clutch heat. Doesn't mean it will remain that way, it will no doubt be refined as we go along. But the priority is to get it implemented and behaving acceptably in race conditions first. This in my view has been achieved.

If you can't drive one of the cars in LFS at the moment in race conditions without significant heat build up in the clutch then your doing something terribly wrong

yep, i agree with u.
but, i just feel a little bit uncomfortable cause i alway expect LFS to be perfect

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Solution- Let off the gas when you shift (that means don't flatshift), don't try to go from a dead stop in 3rd gear either.

I even did not shift to second gear.
I just tested the starting, so i didnt do flatshift

Quote from wabbit :

Would you expect a normal road car in real life to enjoy that treatment over and over 30 times or so?

you knw, in big cities of China, during the traffic jams, taxi drivers(they all drive stick shift cars because those are cheap to buy) usually do more than what i have tested

Quote from nelson_trujillo :

while driving press F10, it will show you, besides car damage, the Clutch tTemperature, the more heat the less effective it gets, so, monitor that, and keep it cool. It's color coded, by the way

then i got u.
CT means clutch temperature....
i thought it is the measure of how hard the clutch was damaged...

I tested for 2hrs on this very clutch....
every clutch would die out around 20-30 times of starting....I mean on XRT

The first thing I want to check out when I updated to the patch Y is the clutch.
I tried to let the XRT going in the game as I often do in real world.
I gave a little bit gas, and slowly release the clutch, and then the car started to move.
After 20 times of doing this, the clutch gone....
I honestly did it in a very gentle way....the rev. never goes above 4K rpm...but...that's the truth

Quote from kaynd :

so what? a real formula can't slide sideways?
It will sure loose all it's DF and then be completely uncontrollable but there is a long way in front of us for such detailed aero model... it might not come even in S3

real formula can drift,Kubica even had a long drift in Chinese GP 06


but the formula car can drift too long,hopefully it will be better in S3,

BTW,if the car don't slide,it feels good!

oops,i love the new physics,it's closer to real.

but there's still a big problem: "Formula Drift"

F1 can drift for a long time and a long length

here is the spr

Scawen spined in his first Formula bmw test,but the formula car in the game maybe a little too steable,F1 can "drift" like the old patch.

if the formula car could spin like F1C, LFS would be better.

歡迎我的朋友！

ah amazing! very good indeed. that means "welcome my friend"

It says Chinese spelling letters came from Latin,so I guess Latin people can pronounce Chinese in a right way

chanoman315,yes u'r right,yueyue means month-mouth or moon-moon in chinese.but i think the latter one is what I mean (月月=yueyue)

it's a little differcult to keep touch with the team,our time zones are very different

this is my liveforspeed timetable:
Mondy to Friday 1:40 pm to 4 pm (GMT)
Saturday:10 am to 4 pm(GMT)
Sunday:2 am to 10 am and 1:40pm to 4pm(GMT)

of course i cannot be online all the time above

hello
It's a great of fun to join a team,24h race is good for me and the team.

Any possibility for him being norwegian/chinese?

Maybe...being a norwegian/swedish/finnish/chines but it cann't be ture

and hello Chirskart,I'm a fan of U

Hello everyone,I want to join the race at December 2nd SO Town MRT,I broken this WR yesterday,I'm a clean racer.

I came from China,I have to take the race in 4:00 a.m,So I can only join the race for once,it too differcult to me.

If any team cam let me join the race,I would like to join.PM me Please.

I didn't mean the Finnish F1 driver like Kimi Mika Heikki Keke or Mika Salo.

I just want to know some young talented finnish formula drivers like Saarinen and Niemelä.

I saw Markus Niemela's Formula Renault race in Zhuhai,China on May 2nd. He was as fast as Pekka.



BTW,I heard there's a karting racer called Oskari Heikkinen,he was as fast as Kimi Raikkonen in the Karting race in 1998. How is he now?

How about Pekka Saarinen? I saw his 4 races in Asian Formula Renault in China and Malaysia this year.He was a outstanding racer.He always be the race leader and have a big gap from the others.

Is there any good formula racer from Finland? cause I just know little about the Formula race in Europe.
