Do you have a personal life? Or do you care so much about my attention that you...

No.

As a big fan of e-driven public transport(trains, trolley buses), gotta say that i dont understand people who choose to own a car while living in a middle of very big city(like Saint-Petersburg or Moscow). There is already enough public transport of any kind, but some people still prefer to own a personal vehicle by any means. Idk, this looks like second step after buying the "latest model smartphone", correct me if im wrong, lol

Alexey, how do u manage being such in-depth into some topics here, but still dont consider yourself as any kind of "propaganda"?

P.S Absolutely agree with topic starter, some interesting stats there

Gotta thank you people for your good words at first, and my apologies for an another "updates speech" at second.
This joke went out of control lol

Hello guys and gals.
Gotta share some of my thoughts which may sound pretty absurd.
I see some people use Off Topic part of forum as their own personal trash can, and me neither an exception here.
Lemme introduce at first - my nickname is paket42x also known as pakkeji, real name is Edward and also a long-term LFS player (long-term cracked/shared, until mods release) Im 29 y.o and gotta admit that this videogame have got atleast 1/3 of my life(10 years or kind of, if we count cracked game experience) If we count an offline experience that will be 1/2 aswell.
I've got a lot of various experience in my life, like we all do ofc, but just wanna mention occult sects here (well they are not religion-based at all)
I've been in some kind of sect myself like in early 00's - OK, not only me but my close relatives too, thanks to friends of my family and my dad - we got back to normal life.
LFS experience turns me back into this somehow. Am i still sick?
We all want "updates", but who knows which updates Scawen will bring us? One main person, one 3d artist. I dont even understand what they will bring to us. Im scared guys, living in fear

All cars suck. but i gotta disagree with u fellas anyway

E-cars suck

What about martin18 mods and mods tuned by him?

I suck in driving but will give them a try tomorrow for sure

Just try to read

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

I just thought about LFS tire physics and realized that for some reason I...

Hello, my friend Alexey

1. All LFS default cars(except FBM, RAC and BF1 i guess) were made from scratch to suit the tyre physics parameters which are not obvious for people who has no degree in vehicle dynamics. As far as i understand, LFS vehicles are all about tyres they need to utilize. Weight balance, engine, suspension geometry, driver position, default setup values and all kind of stuff is strictly balanced by Scawen himself. We still have some good tools like Bob Smith's VHPA to dig into this mess, but VHPA has nothing to do with suspension geometry so thats not enough to be fair. Also, most valueable things related to tyres u can see in Editor are SA/SR and thats all.

2. 90% of real competitive drift vehicles are using so called "wisefab kits", so the suspension geometry and handling balance of these cars are far from what was done by car manufacturer and engineers. I'd rather say the "real" conditions u are talking about, well, its all about vehicles which just suck in handling the tyres in a right way. Im absolutely sure here, maybe except some cars like z05 which was engineered to utilize 18-19 diameter rims with wide tyres. As far as i can judge, in RU pro drift scene we have all kinds of japanese and european FR cars but the way those cars were "tuned" is just to add wide "grippy" tyres. Those kind of adjustments makes some drivers struggle when they are behind the wheel.

So, until we get more suspension info in LFS Editor + new VHPA in new patch and/or people who are interested to dig into physics part more than, lets say adding triangles into a wheel 3d mesh, u gotta enjoy your drift mods tuned by all kinds of teenager players


P.S. Houssem mods are not bad in terms of physics, gotta admit that. Much respect

Well, im 100% noob in ffb hardware/software, but just dont get it, how steering resolution may differ from ffb resolution.

Anyway, that issue might be extra important in new patch so absolute +1 here

Hmm, dont have a wheel rn to check, but honestly i thought that the FF steps setting is about resolution (like 10000 steps = 65536 converted to decimal)
Thats weird, lol

Let's revive it. I'll start: - full 16bit resolution (65536 steps) support for...

Wow
Isn't it 16 bit already?

Quote from Evolution_R :

I wonder why almost every thread leads to that same old nonsense posts every single time, resulting in locking it.

Why can't be a little more positive and inspiring? Ah.

Totally agree, but my question is how about some good old self-irony instead

Quote from MousemanLV :

Perfection is the enemy of good.

Lets face it, LFS is the enemy of good by itself

Ok, lets start real talk now

This particular acc was never shared, so u gotta chill guys

Quote from Scawen :

I'm disappointed by the lack of understanding going on now.

The point is the lack of updates as far as i understand. Considering you as a very passionate developer, some people may understand that things are not easy so far, but, still, plenty of them just need some kind of approval. This is not related to the game itself, nor the gameplay provided by the TC or JaR or idk. The tempo of LFS development just doesnt suit the modern(shitty) world, so people try to entertain themselve in this game more and more. Selling TC currency for real $$$ = TC issue, not (direct) devs problem cmon, lol. Shared accounts - same. Im telling u this as a very long-term shared acc user(never cruise, only drift and race)

Sounds like a cruise absolute goal is staying away from ban list

Reminds me of tobacco settlement payments lol
Poor victims of Scawen are on the road to monetize their habits by the cost of common sense

Just to mention that

Quote from MousemanLV :

5-7 laps? When you are mostly close to full lock it's over in 3 laps easily.

For as1r its 30+ lol
My point here is the ability to drive different, not only full lock
Possible with default cars, but not with drift mods

IMO, the issue is in MODS themselve, tyre physics just wont work in a proper way, so tires die faster

5-7 fe3r or so4r laps of tandem drift is pretty common in LFS drifting community (XRT, normal tyres)

Quote from rane_nbg :

I find that I get most fps in all scenarios with this set to 1. The rest you mentioned is very good suggestion for setting for low end PC.

I know the struggle
