LFS online racing simulator

 

What is LFS: Live for Speed (also known as LFS) is an online racing simulator developed by a three person team comprising Scawen Roberts, Eric Bailey, and Victor van Vlaardingen.[2] The main focus is to provide a realistic racing experience for the online multiplayer game and to allow dramatic single player race against AI (Artificial Intelligence) cars. Users may set personal best lap records in Hotlap Mode, and take driving skills lessons. Outstanding players may be invited to join private league teams.

 

LFS is distributed via Internet. The full game can be downloaded for free from the official website and installed, but unlocking all features requires purchasing a software license. Without a license it can be used as a demo with only the demo content available. License acquiring right to use all of the content and features can be purchased only from the official website with a price of GBP £24.

 

LFS simulation:The physics engine simulates tyres, different suspensions, aerodynamics, drivetrain, several gearbox types, clutch overheating and damage to suspension, car body and partial engine damage. Some features of the mathematical tyre model (not based on Pacejka formula) created by Scawen Roberts are; every tire is divided to 48 sampling points (arranged as 16 along the circumference by 3 across the width of the tire), dynamic wear, dynamic dirt on tyre surface, flat spots, hot spots and visible real-time deformation of the tyre walls.

 

LFS Gameplay:LFS, like most car simulators, requires smooth, controlled movements of the steering, throttle, and brakes in order to get the fastest speed through a lap. There is support for wheel, mouse, keyboard, joystick, or gamepad steering control. LFS is unusual among racing simulators in offering mouse controlled steering, which fills in the gap for racers who don't own racing wheels but would like more precise control than using keyboard steering.

Races can be from one to hundreds of laps or be set to run for a certain length of time, as is seen in endurance racing. There is support for refueling and tire changes in pit stops and mid-race adjustment of pit strategy. During an online race, driver changes between multiple real drivers are possible. Pit lane speed limits of 80 km/h (50mph) are enforced by penalties similar to those seen in real motorsport. These include drive-through, stop and go, or time penalty. Starting grids can be set by random chance, finishing positions in the previous race, or a qualifying period before the race.

 

A training mode is included as a driving school to help new drivers acquaint themselves with basic driving skills and the handling characteristics of each car. The lessons cover subjects such as cornering, throttle and brake control, and negotiating traffic. To pass, they have to be completed within a certain time without touching any obstacles or other vehicles. They are arranged as in sets, one for each car and ordered from slowest to fastest. Each set must be completed before moving to the lessons for the next car. However, completing them is not necessary to unlock cars, as all are available for racing from the beginning.

 

LFS cars:The S2 release offers a total of 21 different vehicles. They range from beginner-friendly models to cars more suited for players with more experience. There is a broad power spectrum, ranging from under 100 horsepower (70 kW) to over 700 hp (500 kW) in the high performance race cars. The cars range from fictional sports cars, GT race cars akin to DTM and former JGTC series cars to road legal family front wheel driven hatchbacks. While LFS' car selection mainly includes fictional cars, it also has five real officially licensed cars:

 

    * BMW Sauber F1.06

    * Formula BMW

    * McGill University's Formula SAE (in conjunction with McGill Racing Team)

    * Raceabout '03 concept sports car designed by Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia

    * Volkswagen Scirocco
