Although it could prove fun for a couple of races, i don't think it should be added.

But it would be a lot of fun :thumb:

[Jimmy_Lemon]

a g25 on 900 would be fun for that lol, youd need to position it so the wheel was flat level with the desk rather than tilted towards you tho :D

LFS is a realism simulator. Asking for this is like asking for the Batmobile or for a jet-powered UF1 :D! It's just a waste of space and time, as are many things in this world. (I just wasted a minute on this response :D)

So you deny that Bus exist in reality and think that the videos are forged?
Interresting :scratchch

[Maelstrom]

LFS is not about buses. Its about racing fast racing cars.
I didn't know the UF1 was considered as fast :scratchch

[VTiRoj]

I didn't know the UF1 was considered as fast :scratchch
It does 80mph, thats fast! :x

[KeiichiRX7]

+1 for the magic tourbus. A big heavy, lumbering vehicle souds like somethign good for teacig driving basics.

[DANDAMAN05]

-1 for adding it to LFS
+1 for making a separate game with this idea.

however i would much prefer to see super bikes in LFS, although using a wheel to control one is pointless for obvious reasons.

[mr_x]

+1 Bus racing would be awesome :P

[Bladerunner]

It does 80mph, thats fast! :x

I have personally driven MY bus at over 85mph, so therefore it obviously deserves to be in LFS more than the UF1 does :p

If we have double decker buse's, all of the pits will have to have the roof and door hightened so it's possible to get in and out.... too much trouble for a stupid bus imho :really:

No multiplayer or racing, but quite fun for a few minutes: http://www.busdrivergame.com/

shame there's no cockpit view, and no custom route!! (still have it in my harddisk tho)

We May need that for race trucks too and they are definitely worth the effort :nod:

now race trucks, they would be a great addition! Im up for anything that is made for off-road abuse! :razz:

Some old V8 muscle would be nice to! and i would love to see some super saloons (Lotus cartlon, sierra cosworth etc.)

HAHA!!! lmao. I love how they try to drift them too :D Id love to try that out! :D

As you'd remember from S1 where you could change the track width (of the car) and so on in setup

:scratchch

Where does this come from? it's indeed S1 but...
Is that a hack or something! It 's so damn funny :dopey:

I think the only real chance of this happening is if LFS is opened up for modding someday. But I don't think the devs would want to waste their time on such useless vehicles.

[pelicanracer]

look here wow its amazing what you can find when you use the SEARCH function!

[GT Touring]

how did they do that?
it even looks like big deformed XFgti's my lord is that funny.
the physics engine seems to be able to handle them ok :thumbsup:

[pelicanracer]

XCNuse - Why did you remove the link? :really:

[scania]

How about the bus like this?

[XCNuse]

Glad you asked pelican. For starters, LFS isn't meant to be modable, not that much atleast. Second of all, it shows where LFS has a serious weakness and can be broken into and then possibly sold off in some black market and illegally made some cash with some things that aren't really in LFS. Third of all, I'm pretty sure I am right when I speak of the devs that they didn't want their game to be turned into some bus or whatever sim, mainly because that is not what they had put in the game, nor intentioned to be visible to the public which can be quickly be turned against them.
Lastly, every link and thread I find will be deleted because of those reasons, and more.

[Locovich]

Just as said.... this is a racing simulator....

[GP4Flo]

That video is great, it shows that the AI is even capable of driving busses! :D

Seriously, of course modding shouldn't be done unless the devs allow it. But nevertheless it is great to see what the LFS engine is capable of. GTRs, F1, road cars, busses, even motorbikes are possible - that just shows how good it really is.

I would love community submitted vehicles being added to LFS if they are of Eric quality but total modding is a big no no no.

It kinda looked like Eric quality :D

[XCNuse]

Because it is his. :)

[scania]

I can't understand that why you think that mods is destory LFS

[PMD9409]

I wont go into it too much because I know there will be at least one sensible person that will post how much of a bad idea modding is.

1. Waste of hard drive space, no one wants (hopefully) 10gb of mods when 75%(probably lower % than what it would really be) will be way off from what they are really suppose to be.

2. LFS is after all an ONLINE racing simulator, mods would obviously kill the online feature. I dont think that every 2 or 3 days people want to download a new car or track that will not even look or feel like the real thing.

Development is fine now the way it is, only way I see any type of modding in the future is if it was submitted to and accepted by ScaViEr (a panel of testers/decision makers would create complaints). I don't see a community vote working to well as it would start enough flame wars to cook everyone in the whole world a few marshmellows each, and would probably burn them from the heat. :hbomb: :scratchch

[Spangler_CZE]

NO rFactor please !

I can understand now, thanks:D
but, how about open Mods for single player & local network, but no in master sever?:shrug:

I want MRT9 because it is Formula Hybrid:D

[Urban_Eagle1]

Asking for this is like asking for a jet-powered UF1 :D!

WHere do i sign up to test one of those :P, i think it would be fun to drive these things around, like when top gear did the Van racing, something for the UF1 to compete with, im sure alot of people would want that :)

Actually it was released, we have that bus in all technicality.

It is the GTi ;)
Look closely.

Oh by the way you guys can repost your links and all now, I don't remember what they were so.

[Nathan_French_14]

LOL!! That vid is awesome *saves to favourites* it looks like great fun and its really funny where the a.i crashes into the wall then the "bus" goe flying away xdddd

HERE IS THE VIDEO (http://www.my3id.com/video/content/174/busses-on-lfs.html)

[DWLYTS] Dustin (imthebestracerthereis) voted to bring back the bus [press 1] (1/5)

anyone know what version the bus was in?

[Jakg]

NO version, it was modded by moving bits of the XFG around

[XCNuse]

anyone know what version the bus was in?
Quite old, I just noticed that there aren't any skidmarks, so that means it is anywhere from the first releases up to patch S1G

[xpjames]

Now this would be "fun" to race

http://www.freewebs.com/edintrans/Images/Bendi220205.jpg

James :)

[Becky Rose]

@xpjames, hehe, with a default skin of "Slothian Buses"

The way I see it, we love racing, and in the world out there there are so many forms of motor sport and many are pretty wild and look great fun. There's no reason why LFS cant support some of these, in time, but I think we all accept that it needs to focus on its core functionality first.

LFS has been open to modding for along time, via insim, so it stands to reason that one day we'll be able to mod other things in LFS. It's inneviteable. I'm sure when it happens that Scawen's solution wont have the same pitfalls as rFactor, because like everything Scawen does, he'll put a lot of effort into getting it right before we see so much as a glimmer of it.

[metroid511]

Now racing this would be awesome:nod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLPF4ImOalo&mode=related&search=

Just bad.. I never actually can have it, tho I want, depressing thought :(

[Eldanor]

If it moves, you can race it :)

[Ball Bearing Turbo]

LFS' engine is versatile enough that I don't understand why anyone would want to limit it.

We need dragsters, rally cars, dune buggies, semis, whatever.

I agree. Tweak shows that LFS already supports a few different engine types (rather than a default model having it's stats changed to suit a different car). I assume more could be added without that many changes.
The only thing is that the bigger and heavier vehicles would need longer tracks - Supertrucks, for instance, can't really do hairpins or chicanes :)

But I certainly don't think there's any reason why any type of vehicle should be missed out. A V8 FX? A hotrod-style UF? Ah, it'd be so cool.

sure... just they have to be fantasy cars... not real ones couz of the reasons you all know already...

maybe there will be a competition like the lfs skins competition...

like programming cars in specified classes (buggie, trucks,.. whatever devs want)...

and the best ones will be chosen for ingame in patch z or aa or xx,... just a thought lol

[DANDAMAN05]

you cant "make it happen" the devs most likely already have an outline as to what content they are going to add in the future. Just wait and see :thumb:

[simscube]

having a bus in LFS would be nice...for TC

[Ball Bearing Turbo]

You want to hit Tristan with a bus?

[dawesdust_12]

You mis-understood, we actually wanna put all the TC clones in a bus, and drive them into the ocean.

:p

[mixer13134]

It does 80mph, thats fast! :x

Yup... only 88mph was needed to travel in time. (back to the future. :P )

-1 for adding it in lfs. It's interesting to watch, but I don't think we need it in LFS.

[Logicalx]

yes that would plz [TC]Tommer lol,

I would prefer anything new, even if it was only a 12 speed bicycle.

I love the fact that LFS is controlled but they seriously need to add a few things to keep us happy. It's not that I expect them to give us free add-ons, but all the other racing sims that are in competition with LFS allow moding and therefore an endless array of track/car choices.

The second link on that page = English.

[dougie-lampkin]

I got the full game...but it's only in German from what I can see :shrug: What's German for language?

[Jakg]

It'll be either something like Language or something like "Sprechen" or "Sprachen".

[Dajmin]

There are far more important racing cars (you remember this is a racing sim, right?) that should be added before these kinds of vehicles.

[Crashgate3]

There are a lot of types of proper racing cars missing from LFS which I won't deny *are* more important, but it would be fun to have something a bit silly to race, which due to it's slightly silly nature, the devs don't really have to spend a lot of time making and tweaking it. Buses would be good, but even something like a big Transit van would work just as well. Something you don't often get on a racing circuit but can still reach 100mph or so if you really push it.
