Live for sped updates on patch for April
Posted by keiran
...but im not in Neutral, im hurtling down the straight changing up the gears happily at 22,000rpm, which no F1 car can reach in terms of rev range.
I actually said to myself how long til Ellis has slagged nK off and what happened once you got back, a post back slagging it off.
BOLLOCKS :D Complete BOLLOCKS :D I have always said the graphics and physics engine are extremely strong (altho may be a bit exagerated on the tyre model), it is the menu and interface and bugs that need work in netkar and some additional conetent for those not into low range single seaters
If rFactor has been approached by so many companies why has it not got any real cars ...
Because ISI have been there done that and the idea behind rFactor was to find more teams like simbin which they can licnese out the engine to, which they have actually achived
You dont have ANY idea what companies have approached ISI and ISI related companies and for what reasons so you can continue to make such comments of "why this" and "why that", but your so underinformed its not even funny
I'm not sure if theres anything wrong with the car reving to 22 000.
theres something extremely wrong with that. The BMW site states over 19,000 RPM, and the rev counters on FOM coverage are only around 20,000 max, and no team has reported breaking 21,000 yet afaik
the fact is, the LFS car shifts at 22,000 RPM. The real one shifts at around 19,000 RPM

Dont turn this into an rFactor vs lfs thread. This is about LFS so you guys can take your crap elsewhere.
Nobody mentioned rF until Kieran did My thoughts were simply on this patch, and like you, overall i was not massivly impressed by the patch. After such a long gap in development time it was a bit less than i expected.

Reving it that high has no advantage, you have no idea what the red line is on an F1 car. None of us do. In real life you'd probaly blow the thing up but until engine damage is implemented properly then you can shift at 22, 000 if you like but you aint going any quicker.

Keiran...come on...No F1 engine can reach 22,000 rpm.
They don't rev to 22 000rpm because there is no need for them to rev that hard. Watching TV coverage only shows you the car shifting at the optimum revs which is around 19 000, and is around that in LFS. The only difference is in LFS you don't have to worry about blowing your engine up. I stick by the fact we don't know where the red line is on an F1 engine.

But we do, its around 19 to 20k RPM as shown by Cosworth and revealed by Mercedes.
Is there a TC override button?
The servers with BF1 only are nothing short of chaotic. When you do get a clean race going in them it is really good fun tho. Driving around south city in the BF1 is an absolute blast.
I've had a quick go in some of the other cars, one thing that disappointed me is that the XRR is still off the pace of the other cars in its class.
Its a definate improvement on the previous version, and lets not forget LFS is still an alpha release and so there should be more improvements to come before they reach the beta and full releases.

Just tried the new patch myself.
I've gotta admit, the basic handling does feel quite realistic in the way the car moves around and generally handles. In fact, I do generally believe Live for Speed is right up there when it comes to suspension physics (especially at representing them graphically), and the other models needed for a sim, but it doesn't communicate back to the driver very well. It feels very much like rFactor in the way it feels like there is an invisible layer between the tyres and the tarmac which is diluting the feel.
At the moment, it'll probably still keep a slot on my hard disk, and I wouldn't turn down some fun races either, especially at the rally cross tracks, but probably only in the more road cars if you see what I mean. Given just a little bit of feel through the force feedback like with netKar and it would move leaps and bounds. Given the level of feel Papy sims have and I'm sure with a few other things sorted (we know this is release 2/3 in alpha stage) it could be "the sim" in my opinion.

Hello Racers!
Announcing Patch U : A new official patch for S2 ALPHA
Version S or T must already be installed!
We are very pleased with the reaction to the S and T versions.
Various fixes and improvements have been done in the week since
version S was released. Thanks to all who tested and commented
on the test patches. Patch U is quite an improvement and we expect
this to be the stable version for some time while we have a little
break then get on with more S2 work, on the way to S2 final.
Changes since version S :
Race penalty statistics now sent to LFS World
Changed format of /track host startup command
Removed /config and /reversed startup commands
Some small frame rate optimisations in car draw
Hosts can now display a 200 character welcome message
Added a new command /tracks to specify allowed tracks
OutGauge system for external dashboards (see InSim.txt)
FOX / FO8 / BF1 all have their own dashboard colour slider
Translations and docs folder updated with new translations
Throttle blip on downshift now allowed again with manual clutch
Suspension stronger before it bends but then bends more quickly
FIX : LFS could crash sometimes when leaving a multiplayer game
FIX : Croatian and Serbian should always be correctly selected
FIX : Could view other racers ARB and Brake Balance online
FIX : LFS crash when starting up with Greek or Norwegian
FIX : Aston Grand Touring / North showed up as AS6 / AS7
FIX : Aston lessons had gone wrong with changed objects
FIX : Downloading Skin message was partially off screen
FIX : Could set wind in hotlapping using /wind command
FIX : Commands /track=as6 and /track=as7 did not work
FIX : Number entry in tyre setup menu did not work
FIX : XF GTI acceleration, PRO level was too easy
FIX : Colour alternation on list of games screen
FIX : LFS could crash when drawing a damaged car
FIX : Connecting player with different weather
FIX : Text command /leave had stopped working

Does anyone know of any good setups for LFS?
i just want to get hold of some to be at least half competitive :p i'm being left for dead on the straights so any setups for the single seaters would be great, i can tweak the tyre pressures etc and ride height but its the ratio's that do me

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat
