RHD vs. LHD

meh.. if you say so.

 

From 2011:



Red = LHD
Blue = RHD

Obviously LHD is the overwehlming majority.
Personally I would only pick RHD if the car is only available in that configuration alone.

 

As long as LHD cars aren't chosen over RHD ones (thinking about historic race cars and certain Japanese cars) I don't care which side the driver sits. For me it's not an issue, and it shouldn't be for anybody imo. Making the concious choice to go with LHD for everything would be a bit lame.

 

I just simply get my G25 H-Shifter and move it to either the left or right side of the wheel depending on the car I am in. I have driven LHD cars here in the UK and RHD cars on the continent. Doesn't matter too much after you get used to it. The only thing is I sometimes forget that the wrong side of the road is used on the continent. But racing on track it doesn't make too much difference. Even if a track runs clockwise, a good track should have as many left turns as right so it shouldn't matter.

 

LFS has 10 polygons cockpits, the work demand to mirror the detailed AC cockpits would be too much for few results IMHO.

 

I agree, there is a development overhead that in real terms of planning is likely to not even on the development plan. I would guess just getting a scan of the car interior is a priority so a the car can be released to us is top most of considerations.
