SMS in a simulator.... hehehe.. it's a new thing, I must agree.
But I'd prefer a better set of sounds
Anyway, tks for the progress report, it's a collyrium for my eyes

2 - Rainny and night races.
3 - Dynamic illumination with daylight transition.
4 - Loose parts and breakable glasses in damage model.
5 - New cockpits with dx9 texturization.
6 - Bugs and birds that smashes in the windshield.
7 - New superb sounds, with multiple effects and surround capability.
8 - New tracks.
9 - New cars.

1 - The picture is not from AS-2, but from any other Aston's layout.
2 - There is nothing wrong with the car position. It isn't cutting anything there. It's just appoint the tangency, and that is a legal drive.
Point me where is the cheat there.

I' d like to collect the rare Tristan-against-LFS-critics. It must be valious, they say it exists, but in fact has not been found yet.
Well, I'd like to say, again: if money is not a impediment, buy all. Otherwise, keep it to gtr2 or nkp, in accordance with your preference.

GTL, GTR and rFactor is one thing. LFS and NKP iks other thing.
Between them, the way the things are done and the way you feel the things are different.
Both groups (extrapolated tabulation X online calculation) give their level of imersion, both have particularities that give certain advantages against each other.
If you are an virtual driver enthusiast, like me, and if this little money is not a problem for yoiu, I suggest you to buy all, like me.
If money is the point, first, localize your preferences in one of those two groups above, and then save your money for GTR2 or NK-Pro.
A short guide to decide:
GTR:
Pro: real cars, real tracks, beautiful graphics, amazing sounds, great driving, live track, enourmous mod community.
Counter: slow loading, starfoce dependent, hardware eater, weak mp, off track menu.
NKP
Pro: hardcore physics, beautiful graphics, live cockpit, walk like doom, online race and car data, easy access on track menu (?).
Counter: one car type, 4 ficcional tracks, not really tested yet.

A little of poetry...
My body cannot run as my soul. Nothing has so much breath as my desire, nothing reaches my insanity.
There is something that pull me hard and I never catch it up.
I need to run in this little world, with my little steps, up to the point where my body loses, until where everything hurts more than my desperate mind.
I need to run until the death, because I live for speed.

Portuguese language is full of details...
what is DIY and internet-scam?
I use sometimes a 2 monitors solution cause it's very simple, once all new vga cards have 2 connectors. I like to use lower fov, around 50 to get the virtual cockpit at almost the same size of real cars.
I measure that doing this: I seat on my car, extend my arms in front of me and with just one eye I measure hand to hand a virtual distance from one side to other side of the track. Then I seat on my desk and do the same thing until reach the same condition, and that always gimme a fov between 45-50. Of course, even in 19LCD screen, the field's width becomes too small, the sense of speed decrease, and I have some difficult to see the others in my laterals, but the immersion is much bigger, so the gain worth the price.
I'm in intention of buying a Epson projector Powerlite S3, which is relatively cheap (about U$1000,00) here in Brazil. Its specifications says that it's svga (800 x 600) native, but also says that it's able to run xga resolutions (1024). I'm trying to talk with Epson for 2 days, but I've had no sucess yet, just to understand that supposed xga capability
The 3 monitors solutions is a good stuff for space issues, and it liberates you from rearranging your layout, in the case you have just one pc.
I'm really thinkin about build a specific pc with projector, just for race.
Sometimes I get myself complaining about spending money with such things, but I do no others things to have fun, that is my hobby, and in a automobile's world, even RC cars are very expensive, sometimes more than a good set of pc+joystick+projector.
And if you go to real cars, even karts, sure you'll spend much more, so I decided have no guiltiness when thinking about spending my money with myself
illepall 
But yes, the 3 moinitors, with such Matrox solution, is something to dream about, once is cheaper than a new vga, and with a price of a simple Epson S3 projector you can buy 3 19"LCD monitors.
People, and about XGA projectors? Isn't cheaper and better, once you have no vertical divisions?
A lamp with 3000 hours of lifetime can give you more than 4 years of 2 hours/night every single day of fully satisfaction, IMO.
What would be better in your opinions? It fits with a recent thread mine here where I ask for big screens solutions...

Big Screen
Dows anyone has good knowledge about better system do big screen in LFS? I don't know waht would be better, a projector, wide screen LCD, or what...
If someone could help...

Any news from the devs? Any progress report?
Just kiding, calm down people
Yes, I'll keep my dreams on.
No matter how much I like other SIMs (and I like too much of GTR, GTL, RBR and GP4), LFS is the unique real passion that I have, when talking about things I love to do when I'm not at work (of course I still love my kids and my wife)
In order to fix, grip is the most important thing now, IMO.
But a new track and new sounds would be a great accompaniment to the new patch.

I want a progress report like that:
Hellooooooo racers, Scawen here from my new kitchen.
We are working now in physics issues. We are about just 2 week from a perfect algorithm that will give us real car behave, no matter what type of car we drive.
The things are going fast.
Along this work, Eric has made some really good looking cockpits, with new gauges and new wheels, with some bumpmaps that jump to your eyes. No more SIMBIN cockpits to your enjoy.
The damage has been improved and now the glass break, the doors fall down, and so on.
The rev limit has been stablished, and the engine now can explode if you put it too hard.
The brake disks now get heat, and affect the way the car stops.
And we have new sounds! The sounds are still made from the engine core, but now a big range of other sounds sources, such as gearbox, differential and body shell, will be heard.
That's not at all. We have much more for your enjoyment.
The aero bug has been fixed, and the sld now work as it must work.
BTW: the rainny and night races has been implemented, but of course, it would not be possible without a new fantastic dinamic lighting engine.
Of course all of those improvements made the file size grew up, so now you will be obligated to dl something around 800 MB, but we sure that is not a matter to worry about.
See you all soon.
(sorry my bad english)

I really don't care abouy the cheap $24 paid for LFS.
I really enjoy, and I face this price as a contribution. I'll give more if they ask for.
I just want to know what are they doing.
There is no reason to get bored with this kind of thread. It is just a forum.
We are just writing things here... nothing really matter.

Code:
("Car" ("CAR_ROOT"
InverseMass 0.000714
vecLocalInverseInertiaDiagonal 0.00083 0.00169 0.00083
-----------> MaxFFTorque 135.0
EffWheelRadius 0.315000
AntiRollBarStiffness0 30000
AntiRollBarStiffness1 20000
DangerousAcceleration 1000000.0
SubTics 1
Drive ("Drive"
)
Change MaxFFTorque from 135 to 90 or 80 and the lag will go.
Descompact the physics.rbz with winrar or other. It'll generate a folder, and inside this folder there is a file named physics.lsp. Open this file with notepad and change that value as indicated. Keep the physics folder where it is, and the game will replace the entire physics of the game for the values from physics.lsp file.
I'd like to hear something too.
Maybe Scawen be working so hard in the code that he has no time neither head to look to the forum.
Maybe he is so distant from the game that not even the forum interests him anymore.
Who knows?

We are always saying that LFS is fun, but is not fun exactly what we look the most of time.
We look for race.
And LFS give us races.
We can consider that you can race everything, you can race with cars, boats, bikes, rabbits, and pc games.
It isn't necessary that a racing game be a racing car game. I mean, it is not necessary that the game imitates at max level a car behavior to become a racing game.
You can race it, and it is a race cause you are driving something daring the time.
But once you start thinking you should be driving a real car, and this game lauds that, you ask for reality, not just immersion.
LFS give us immersion and a good amount of realism, but there are lacks still there, and we are wainting for the patches which will fix those ones for a long time now.
8 months are 8 months, it is not a short time, it is a long long wait.
I try to cheat myself once in a while saying that I do not like LFS anymore, but I can't sustent this lie for more than 2 weeks.
Today I watched the Steven Kranhold video and remember how much I love this game.
Scawen has his life, has his days and his things to do in his life beyond LFS. For us, for now, just the waiting and the faith he be healthy and working for us.

I saw the Steven Kranhold video today...
And what I have to say is: Scavier, I hate you!!!
just cause I love you too much :smileyrai
just cause I love you too much :smileyrai
I can't go away from this game, even feeling angry with some cars and some bugs... even playing it less and less each week, I feel it's impossible to give up him...
If Scawen did at least better AI's, and resolved the grip bugs, I'd be happy, for one year maybe.
I don't care too much about OW cars, and I really don't care too much about clutch pack SLD.
I mean, I care, but my favourite car is XFR and the others GTRs, so, if the game were just with those 4 cars, but without the grip bug and good (fast and fair) AIs, the game would margin the perfection (ok ok... I'm a little exaggerated...)
Of course there would be a lot of things to do yet, but those would be complementation, not fundamental things.
Many people would say: AI is not important. Ok, but it is, at least for me and a lot of people who I know. To trainny, to have some fun without get nervous with stupid kids, to play without connection...
AIs are something important, but not so important as to correct the grip bug, the most important thing to fix, I guess.
Scawen has said that is probably caused by the transition zone in the adherence limite, and that he is working on it. Lets wait he found the solution. But, while the solution does not come, what should we do?
Yes, GTR is a great game, GTL too, althoug I can't say the same about SIMBIN. They smeel too comercial for me, but what can I do if their games are so great... I guess GTR2 will be a fantastic game, but even yet miles away from LFS immersion.
Victor, you could at least give us a tenuous light about how the things are going... if them are going...

:uglyhamme Just laughing.
Tristanclif, I know you live stealthy in the Scawen's balls, so you know everything he is doing, even what he thinks, what he plans, and probably what he eats and what he shits...
You know everything. Sorry when we disagreed with you before.
(You just don't know what means SIMULATIONS, but that is not important...forget about it)
Well, I'm brazilian, that people who are always here whining, complaining...
That is because we are waiting for the carnaval, you know, we have nothing to do until there, so, why do not disturb the well deserved dev's rest...
PSSSSS! Devs working... c'mon... let's keep the noise low people, c'mon.
We just like to flame all foruns. We go forum by forum, opening threads like this one, just to complain, and perhaps cause a big irritation in the devs nerves...
We don't like LFS. In fact we HATE LFS... Yes... it's true, believe me.
WE HATE LFS
We hate so much, maybe more than we hate SIMULATION!!!
We love NFS.
NO!!! STOP!!! I said NFS???
Yes, we love it. NFS means: Never a ****ing Simulator!
Cause that we love it so much!
And of course NFSU too: Never a ****ing Simulator Understood???
We hate LFS, so we come here to disturb, not to help.
But...
Oh My F. Good... now I know we are wrong.
What are we doing brazilians whiners???
We are pointing the fails.:monkey2: We are monkeys... brazilian monkeys...
tsc tsc... we are helping the Devs pointing the fails... this will help the game to be improved...
No...forget everything. Now we LOVE this game!
YES, YES!!! We love the way the things are done, we love the 80% time without bug*, and we love high nose formula cars.
WE LOVE ALL THAT!!! Keep the game as it is, and go cooking!
(pssss... talk low... acting like that we'll blind the devs and they will not change anything anymore... and we will finally win! Yeahhhh! the stupid ****ing monkeys will win! My God, I'm so happy )
*a recent research from Tristanclif laboratories, after 8 months of exhaustive stressing tests, the result of grip fails has be appointed as a not important, but a funny (yes funny) feature that appears just around 20% of the race time. The users are unhappy cause they want more fun, so they are asking for a new patch to improve that to at least 50%.

blablabla and blebleble but the fact is that SCAWEN has taken a rest for a long time and now it is time to go back to work. Please, no more "that's the way we choose to work" excuses. :chairs:
While the lambs say amem they think everything is going ok, but there are voices here to say clear and loud: WE NEED A GOOD PHYSICS PATCH!resent:
No more excuses, no more laze, the time urges
PLEASE! I WANT TO COME BACK TO LFS!!!
