The only drawback I had in LFS was the lack of damage modelling. But that was about to change in S2 with the implementation of suspension and tyre modelling. But apparently they added visual damage as well. So you will see what damage others have sustained during wallriding, kerbjumping, .... Take a look at this article : http://www.4players.de/rendersite.php?LAYOUT=dispbericht&world=lfs&BERICHTID=3069 Quote : > Ocrana : How did you come up with the idea of implementing the damagemodel in S2? Has it not been planned for S3 originally? > Scawen : The damage was planned for S3 actually. However, we knew thatthere will be a problem with drivers who use the walls on South City and that they get an advantage by that action while other drivers go the normal way. So, we needed a first damage/suspension model which could bend after big impacts. It looked very good in the beginning, but I became very confused with the fact that the suspension bends and takes damage while the rest of the car remained completely unharmed. Therefore, I created a system in which the wire frame model of the car took the damage. In my opinion, damage accompanies tyre wear and mileage. The car now is a constantly dynamically changing variable, instead of the static construction as it was before. > Ocrana : Thank you very much! FYI : Weiter - Zuruck at the bottom of the page means Next - Back This is looking good !!!!! RAS-league anyone ? Jimster
