Excuse if this was missed somehow. I searched the word 'track' in this thread and didn't find any mentions. But is this the first step to allowing modded tracks into the game?

I like to think I've been around for a while.

I tried it. I absolutely love it. The Solstice has the same handling characteristics as my Miata. And its really easy to pick up and be fast. Sliding it around Laguna Seca took all of 3 laps before I was competitive.

Working on getting my promotions out of rookie this month. Already won me a few races. It's great. Very clean racing too. I thought LFS had great netcode, but this is that tiny bit better.

I still love LFS's teaching tools. The suspension readouts, tire deformation, force views, racing line, etc.

The fact that ALL of that is taken out (especailly the line) evens up iRacings playing field and allows players to be more human (less race by numbers) and spend the time learning the car and the track much like in real life.

When I want to just drive for driving sake and maybe casually race with other people, I'll come to LFS for a few drift laps, or race laps, or when I just want to play with a road car. No one does road cars like LFS.

But then, no one does serious racing like iRacing. I don't know what kind of matchmaking witchcraft is going on, but I've had really close racing in iRacing. In LFS I'm always midpack without a single car near me. Mind you, I'm still in fixed setup races. Which do wonders for competitiveness. I can't wait for fixed setups in LFS.

I bought rFactor last week and I'm not sure how to enjoy it.

I only bought it since most of the tracks around me are in it. Which is priceless seat time for track days.

But I'm finding it hard to find good cars/mods/etc to make it better. I only downloaded the local tracks, a few cars, and realfeel.

What else is there?

I remember the simple negative value handbrake setups. Now that made races interesting. :P

Also, there were some good tweak servers back in the .01 days. Since people quickly got bored of what we had.

Fun times!

Wow... Can't believe I remember my log-in info.

Dude! Long time!

I wonder if scawen has any input on the camber issue.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Not many. The world is mostly populated by hatchbacks and repmobiles, the vast majority of which have McPherson struts up front and a form of trailing arm/solid axle or multilink suspension that doesn't provide adjustment. Sure there are exceptions - and I'm sure you'll post some. But that doesn't alter the fact that most cars aren't designed to be adjustable or tweaked, but just work out of the box within the tolerances of manufacture.

There are McPherson struts that allow camber adjustment:

And as far as I know, they are pretty common.

Trailing arms/solid axles are a little more problematic. But multilink trailing arms sometimes allow camber changes as well.

The average car is going to have camber adjustments. And cars in LFS aren't 'repmobiles' anyway. So I would be expecting some camber changes to be allowed.

It would be nice if we could get some slightly better plans to build these.

Quote from tristancliffe :

The answer is - it depends on the car, but on most production cars you have no adjustment other than toe and tyre pressures without buying new things.

Say what? Lots of cars have adjustable camber without buying new parts. You won't be getting any insane degrees out of a road car but there are still a lot of cars that allow a few degrees of adjustment.

How limited is limited?

I know a lot of road cars that allow a few degrees of camber adjustment. Surely we should be allowed that.

Quote from JJ72 :

If the rear feel loose, it's the rear. If it doesn't, it's the front?

Left or right?

Quote from Mischief007 :

I can hear the tire lock up and feel it in the wheel as well. Is your sound working correctly so that you can hear the tire noise? I'm not trying to be rude just stating that I can hear/feel when a tire locks up.

I can hear and feel it just fine. But in a straight line braking how do you know which one it is?

I very much like the flashing orange indication of the ABS working on the tire view.

Could we have an option to allow the orange tire color to indicate a locked up tire without ABS?

I have this steering wheel (same colors!) mounted on my G25



take a foto!!

That's good for you. It still won't be going into the game.

Hahahaha. ABS broken light and a check engine light. Why am I not surprised.

And yes, you bragged about "beating pos inports" so as far as I'm concerned your a moron street racer.

Have a good day.

Quote from Scawen :

One thing that I don't thing anyone mentioned...

That improvement we did some time ago to the LFS system, where there is now only one list of hosts, and less licensed racers can join any host as long as the content of that host falls within their license.

Will you ever allow racers to be on the track with cars they don't have a license for? As in they cannot drive them, but they are able to join hosts with the extra cars able to be driven.

I meant the info about my server standing.

Excuse my ignorance but, where can I view this information?

Why is it that I'm getting so many yellow flags apparently caused by me? I will go through an entirely clean lap, by myself, and still have a yellow flag caused by me...

So many in fact that the server is telling me my rating is poor and I will be banned soon.

What gives?

Would it be possible to allow a 3D spec client? I'd love for the home theater PC to be able to spectate a race so my father can watch league races.

Quote from Flame CZE :

You can't make a custom grid unless the starting position is not changed.

How did Bangar racing move theirs?

How can I make a grid in BL car park? I'd like to have multiple cars start at once.

I've been in tons of servers with custom grids in AU tracks. I can't figure out how to do it there either.

Help!

Sounds like someone changed his notification email in LFS instead of stealing his password.

We can put this to bed really easily.

Three server side options.

-Forced setup "SETUPNAME" or "DEFAULT"
-Limit set options.
-Normal
