@breon absolutely, car mods are rlly good now that the official releases are, well, official

Quote from auch_enne :

And to the community, I was wondering if we could chip in together and give Scawen an modern pc Seeing as he is still on some old duo core system with a 60 hz monitor

a glimpse of hope for my 2 core 2 thread beast of a laptop

yep, makes westhill jumps so much fun

This has been a known bug in LFS for many years and I think it should be fixed or another solution to be made.

Even though the car was travelling at 270MPH, I have managed to replicate it at speeds nearer 150mph.

oh yeah

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you all know about something I've been working on as of late.

It is essentially a stretched XFG with a better engine, rims, and frame.

Frame:



The frame has been lengthened to accommodate the bigger engine and fuel tank.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes to the front:

-Slimmer, meaning looking headlights using Hakodesh 2017 texture.
-Smaller, brighter foglights using the same texture as the headlights.
-Longer bonnet to add to the estate look.

Front:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes to the back:

-Darker lights using Hakodesh 2017 texture.
-Deleted wiper because racecar

Back:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stock 1.3l NA i4 has been replaced by a much meatier 2.4l turbocharged i5 which sends 505bhp straight to all four wheels. The wheels are Fifteen52 TurboFan rims. Double wishbone suspension at the front and back make the car's overall stability much better.

Powercurve:



Wheels:



Suspension:



I need to fix these seats

I wonder if any other racing drivers will sprout from the LFS seed?

Any idea of what the new minimum specs could be?

Would the (relatively) low poly count of default cars look worse with the new graphics, with the triangles being more visible?

looking good!

how did you even complete a lap

Actually looks sick
Any clue when you're going to be opening for testing?

Hello all,
I have a working prototype for a VW Golf IV estate in LFS, but I cannot publish it, because the polycount is just under 150k. I need to convert from .SRE to .OBJ so I can then run it through a program that reduces the polycount down to just under 60k.

Thanks in advance,
Nic

I completely agree. A - The chance of the LFS devs making the mods system available to s2 or s1 users is almost none. B - The likelihood of someone spending just £12 more to play with mods and so many more servers is quite high. All the proof I need is the amount of demo vs licensed users playing before the mods update vs after the mods update.

Looking good Scawen! Any idea when this version will go public?

These are just crude ideas, but please take them into consideration

1 - In the car setup screen, there could maybe be a button that triggers an animation of the car going over bumpy/smooth tarmac, or rallycross dirt that could make tuning the car's suspension a lot easier. There would also be a speed slider to control how fast the animation is played.

2 - In the car info tab in the garage (Engine type, Power, Displacement, etc.), if there was a v8 engine in the car then the info would display if it was a flatplane or a crossplane.

Quote from Scawen :

Do you not like this 'steerer' thing which is specially designed for that?

i find that this helps massively when driving bikes

i reckon a tad bit more power would be great

Another graphical problem - on Aston, there are some splits on the road surface that disappear as you get closer.
