rev block...

[volvopetter]

I dont know what it is called in english... but its when you rev a car a bit over its redline and its "blocking" the revving... I would like a more "thænn thænn thænn" not just a rumble at its max...:scratchch

What you describe is a rev-limiter, and these devices are usually one of the first things to remove in a racecar (this depends on a car, in some you don't thouch the limiter anyway and thus leave it).

i think hes talking about how a real engine shudders when over revved kinda hard to explain what im talking about but when you revv really hard the engine revvs up and down instead of just staying steady like the cars on LFS do

[XCNuse]

no, hes talking about an RPM limiter like vain said

[volvopetter]

what I mean is... Step on the throttle... let the engine rev until it reaches max.. THAT! I would like a better limitter on lfs...

[Vain]

"better" is the wrong expression. LFS doesn't have a rev-limitter at all. The engine just revs until it produces so few power that it can't overcome it's own friction.

No, LFS has a rev limiter on each car

[tristancliffe]

Each car in LFS has a limiter. What the thread starter is trying to say is that rather than a smooth cut off, where the revs stay constant, it would be more like real life where the revs rise and fall. It's called bouncing off the limiter, and LFS doesn't do it.

yeah it would be cooler if it bounced off the rev limiter. even gran turismo has this :p

[volvopetter]

now you got it! (some of you) In S1 its like the car cant rev it any longer... it is a rev limitter in every car in s2! i mean it should be like toca race driver or gran turismo

[Renku]

Something like this?

[volvopetter]

that one is better! but even more "hardcore" is the word...

this would be perfect... if I miss a gear, It would be nice to hear a real limiter.. not just a rumble like in s2 now....:thumb:

[tristancliffe]

Lol, he should learn how to change gear. At least his car looks sensible, unlike that ricer one I posted in the ricer thread.

[FC3S drifter]

oo it feels soo good to be right

[volvopetter]

Its not that he dont know how to change gears! it so he can maintain the boost when he gears! because that heap of junk of a car has so much turbo lag!

Most racing cars do now run with rev limiters (as even cars running on carbs often now having proper engine managment) it saves a lot of hassle with bent valves as a result of missing a gear.

if you have an H shifter, you can simulate a rev limiter in LFS, thats only if you do not have a clutch like i do and you are using automatic clutch instead, to get the limiter, (which in fact is not really a limiter when i explain further) basically press Shift + G (switches to automatic) when you arrive at the cars shift point you will notice that the rpm needle is bouncing...

this is because LFS is thinking it needs to upshift but it cannot due to the fact that a H shifter is installed, this seems to act like a rev limiter, not a proper one but close enough.

when you look at it closely and when you have the show pedals option enabled, you see that the clutch is rapidly moving, when you arrive at the simulated rev limiter, this happens with ALL cars in the game.

you will just need an H Shifter to simulate this and no clutch installed.

just some info that i discovered ^.^
