Save your money till you know your system is no longer able to cope with the new games.
I know you don't want to hear that but it seems your pc is generally able to do most stuff ok so why spend on upgrades when it's not really necessary.
Treat yourself to a new mouse mat if it makes you feel better.
Then buy the new Ipod nano instead.

Quote :...but you will find that most games are written to satisfy commercial directives.

Maybe it has something to do with people wanting to get paid for their work?
All you say is true, but then every now and then a significant step up in terms of physics and graphics engine comes along, once people get fed up with the reworked bells 'n' whistles approach, which takes the technology onto a new plateau for another 5 years. That's what we're all waiting for.

OK thanks. The subforum is for improvement suggestions, not a general critique of the community and your perception of their attitudes to suggestions.

Basically your only constructive comment is that the crash physics (where the cars go spinning off on their end or disappear skywards) needs to be made more realistic.
Well there's no-one here who would argue that. The rest of your post is heresay and your interpretation of the some of the more negative forum posters, without adding any real specific examples.
I have a very different impression of the forum from you and the way the game has developed over the years.
we are all entitled to our opinions. Over the years there have been hundreds of suggestions and improvements (as well as thousands of poor ones) that have played a part in the development of the sim, and will continue to do so.

Quote from Bandit77 :... but there seems to be a serious "no additions, please"-attitude going on.

Ok, LFS is already so fully loaded with cool stuff like a brilliant physics-engine (except for crashes), and low cpu-usage, and ... er... hmmm... er... did I mention the physics-engine... and, you know that... hmmm...

Really, objectively you don't get THAT much bang for the bucks. But appart from that I don't really understand what you are affraid of.

Do you think the devs will add spinners before they fix the hilarious aerobatic-shows caused by hitting the wall with 30mph?

Do you fear an onrush of newbies coming over from NFS because LFS has some eye-candy too?

I really don't understand why someone could be against new content that can be turned off / left unused anyway.

"A muscle-car? I don't like that. Don't implant it."

I fail to see your improvement suggestion in this post.

The solution to rear-enders: Make the front of the car fragile so you end up with suspension, steering or radiator damage for the rest of the race - detrimental to handling and performance. That would make people take more care and make on-line racing far more realistic.

I'm sorry but a LFS public forum is really not the right place to act out your teenage love angsts. I know this is the OT zone but your posts are most suited to a MSN chat room.

Here's some surreal relaxing entertainment well worth a look:

Samorost 1 and 2 waiting for your tired, confused mind.

and even more bizarre, this slot racing game where the engine revs are controlled by the pitch of your voice, very hard to race well while you are wetting yourself with laughter.

OMG! The depth of feeling about something I find utterly trivial, I really don't care a jot what the driver model in other players cars look like, it's amazing how much people can get wound up about this sort of thing.
