Just downloaded the 2.1, but it just keeps crashing.. Constantly! :S

Haven't bothered reading the whole thread though, so I might have missed some fixes? :P

The first time i downloaded it, it worked fine. Now it just crashes after a few seconds..

*reading the first post in its entirety*

Well, didn't find anything useful there! ^^

Quote from wien :Why? One would think managing tires was a very important part of drifting in real life too? Once you start making those kind of compromises to the simulation you're squarely in arcade land.

True, but still annoying.. Often..

Quote from Bodhidharmazen :Still, I play (PLAY) LFS because I like to drive and because I like to play. I have never liked that we have to struggle with setups, on top of that now tyres are useless and we have a clutch that forces us to be "gentle". the ARCADE mode would be as real as the SIM one, but it would not allow for setups, tyres and clutch would last forever and so we would only test our skills TO DRIVE, not to be a mechanic or to believe we are having more "realism".

I'm just going to comment on the thread.. :P

I agree with you, to the extent that I want tires that can go on and on and on..

The rest of the game, including the clutch is working fine for me atm, but I HATE that after a couple of laps of "drifting" I'm forced to go pitting or return to garage before I can have fun again.

Annoying! ^^

Quote from MAGGOT :The tires don't wear excessively fast, you have have a crappy setup and/or are not driving properly. I can still do a full stint at BLGP in my FXO GTR without hitting the reds. I also don't have problems with clutch heat.

I'm most likely driving with a crappy setup (as good as default race), but as I drive mouse I find it more fun to drift than race, as on/off throttle isn't working out for me when racing.. Half a lap with decent tail-happy action and the tires become too slippery!

I don't know if it's the rapid temperature-rise or wear, but I do feel something is off...

Good to hear..

I do hope this excessive tirewear will be fixed before the tweak is released though! I can't imagine how fast the tires would be gone with a 1000hp 3.8 straight six!

Quote from UncleBenny :that's what never makes sense to me. there ARE games with all these things already(plenty of them actually), so why don't people just play them? why keep trying to change a game that the devs are not going to change?

Because the physics are ****ed up in every other game! Is that so hard to comprehend?

I'm not trying to change anything btw, I just said what I'd like to see...

"i don't see how just throwing the body of a car in the game is going to make it more fun. you do realize that all cars act differently right?"

That's where the tweaking bit comes in. It's not that hard making a car act similar to the original. I wasn't talking about just the body...

"and i don't know where people will get the technical specs on all these cars they want in the game. and then how are all of these cars going to be balanced into classes?"

There are plenty of databases online that have specs, perhaps not detailed enough, but talking to a few owners could solve that problem. And, I mentioned "gatebil". I don't know you've heard of it, but it's all kinds of "classes" going at it... You should check it out!

"and i'm pretty sure just because its an add-on doesn't mean that they can just start releasing actual cars."

I'm not sure, so I asked... ^^

"LFS is great because it isn't like other games."

Well, I beg to differ! :P As people are different, they feel joy over different things, some like pure racing and others like just the driving experience and playing around with the car...

I've pictured it like this:

They continue to evolve LFS as a pure racing sim. And they branch off, and produce the most insane streetracing-game ever, making it possible to do things the way you can in other games.

Like letting the artists of the community make car-models to be added to the game, same with wheels. Getting more serious with the LFStweak-side of the game perhaps, so we can have "gatebil" kind of racing or "racing"! :P

Diversity is what i feel is lacking, so even though there are several cars to race, I find only a couple of them fun!

I know adding more bodies (of actual cars) to the game requires licenses and such, but having them as addons, wouldn't that get rid of the license problem? Having the community together with the "management" decide what cars should be added, could prevent the mess of to many different ones being added...?

I'm just blurting out what's on my mind here, please don't flame.. :P

Hehe! Even though it sounds like swedes hate norwegians and vice versa, I love Sweden and their cars! I'm a car lover, so...

That translation of yours didn't quite have any meaning did it.. :P

But what I want is an audi 5'er in my volvo!

Quote from R34king :@ keltern ive posted what slighely resembles a straight 5 audi quattro 1984 to be exact try that

Well, I can't say i was too excited about that sound of yours...

It's nowhere near what I want, but at least it sounds good!

I didn't want to make a new thread, so I'll try asking here! :P

I'm not sure if any of you would do this, but could someone use lfstweak and configure a straight 5 cylinder engine (with or/and without turbo) and make it sound like a real Audi straight 5? Something like a S2 or a Coupe Quatto...


I've tried so much now that I've given up, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone would do this for me!


If you have something, please do share!

What the hell do you think I did before posting? - Searched for M3 Challenge!

Found it on page 3 now, though I didn't yesterday!

Hi!

I was wondering if you've tested 10tacles game - M3 Challenge?

M3 Challenge - Download

I discovered it by accident, and I must say I'm having fun when both racing and drifting in this game!

Could be more like LFS though, but fun after all!

Quote from anik360 :My new XRT with gull wing doors like the SLR what do you guys think?

That's how the front should look like on the XRT!

Very nice, as you've added the elements that are missing from the XRT front!

Quote from Dudles :for the ones wanting the Borbet for XRT...

Hope it's nice... in the first test the inside part of the wheel was shining different rainbow colors... looked like a "rave party car"... i think i managed to fix it...

Not bad! It looks like it could've been deeper, but I'll test it..

Wanna try doing the Brock B1 wheel as well?

EDIT: I love the Borbets you did man, just LOVE them!

Now I can't wait until someone attempts the Brock B1!

Wow! That cheetah looked niiiiiice!

Wouldn't mind having some fun in a car like that...

Hehe! Sure, an R32 would be nice as well. But rear wheel drive is far more fun in my opinion!

I know it's been suggested MANY times before, but that's just because it's a great car!

How much would you have to modify if you should try making it work for V? Or is it too much hassle?

Fun to see people still enjoying these files!

Perhaps someone has the whitewall-file somewhere?

Like the demoracer on the top of the page, I'd like to see the Borbet wheel made for the XRT!

Same with the Brock B1 as well... I've tried doing something in bespoke myself, but it always turns out crap!


Would be great if someone would give them a try!
