As I understand for Eric only Fern Bay remains, one track in average takes about 2-3 months of working..
I know that developers usually don’t like questions about release dates cuz it can fell through or exceeded the announced time. And i undestand it, but i still have some questions:

1 Of course the main is - can you tell the approximate release date of the test patch? Maybe second quarter of 2020?

2 Will new tire physics be included in the update?

3 Do you have any plan for the next update? (full track editor will be nice Heart )

3 Less important but current sky looks too clean for me, will be some clouds? (Animated Textures? Procedural volumetrics? Particles?) Maybe Volumetric Light Scattering for Sun rays?

4 Since we have updates are being made to the changes of the day, can there also be plans for long-awaited changing the weather? (fog, rain, temperature change of the asphalt?)

Capitalism is evil yeah yeah, of course. Capitalism have many problems yes, but Copitalism is always opposed to socialism.. When I know what's in my homeland in fact, not so long ago, government bodies could have shot you just because you have the wrong last name, or kill you (kulak) and take your farm and land from your family simply because you didn’t to give it to a public collective farm, or u can get 10 years of Gulag just for juke about Stalin, Denunciations, Сollectivization, Iron Curtain, State propaganda, 2 millions tortured and killed in Gulag, and etc. This is too long a list to all the great advantages of socialism.

I would just propose to not forget that at modern capitalism people have not yet lived better throughout the history of mankind since that they live now. And that in addition to the developed and the least Developed Countries (LDCs), there are developing and LDCs countries that only dream of living like Britain or America. Excuse me, just sometimes it's just funny to hear how capitalism is Evil because someone has depression, or something similar to conspiracy theories "general brainwashing by our monster global civilisation"Looking wtf..

If you want details or a reasoned discussion just write to my pm, but i propose to close the political topic, otherwise it’s possible to get to the propaganda of socialism here, in my opinion this is not what you would like. And the more I do not want to breed political squabble here.
Peace to everyone.Heart

Looks like Left-Green coming out, and I have nothing to say about the green movement, although there are a lot of their problems and frankly stupid things of individual activists, but I sincerely hope that socialism communism is not considered the best idea for society as the opposite of capitalism, but capitalism also has many problems,it is capitalist societies that offer the best economic growth, a better standard of living and a better level of happiness among the population of all societies in practice, and I live in Russia and believe me, I heard a lot of arguments from the left discourse, 99% of these people are idiots.
Please be prudent, almost all modern left-wing discourse is contradicted by Marx himself, Marx quote: Practice Is the Sole Criterion of Truth.

Quote from Racer Y :But ask yourself, "Why do you play LFS?" Most people I see on the forums have been licensed since 2009. That's ten years. Which is a long time in game years. Are there other folks that play other games like this? Besides Total Annihilation and Quake...... Not many.
This particular game is multi-generational as far as my family goes. What about yours? I know a big chunk of y'all are in your early thirties at least. If not older.
My son uses it as a benchmark for other titles. (he does crap for some company called Chromus) And my grand daughter plays a little too. That's three generations of people..... using the same license...... oops. Well you just don't see that that sort of thing with very many titles, regardless of game genre. I think the only other racing game that can claim to have the cult following LFS has is an even older title: Grand Prix Legends. I mean who plays Need for Speed anymore? The other "sims"? Uh remember everyone going off about GTR or something in the S1 days.... Whatever happened to them? Yeah. LFS is more like "The Rocky Horror Show" More than it is a video game, I think.

I think you overestimate LFS, I remember time when online reached 2,000 or 3,000 people, now around 200, maybe even Need for Speed UG2 have more players.. the game is essentially half dead, but it depended heavily on updates and simrace game competitors, and those who lacked graphics, cars and tracks, left in AC, Forza and who lacked physics there are left in irace. Now there no significant updates, therefore are no reasons for players to return. .
Just your scotch.

Quote from Scawen :Hmm, the plants and earth really look amazing in the real photo Smile and the tarmac seems cleaner in the real photo, than in LFS.

Strangely the kerb glare in LFS looks more realistic than the real thing! Face -> palm

Nice job! This grass.. these plants and earth looks so amazing! But imao now asphalt looks too clean. And for the curb too glare i think, it just how i see.

Quote from Scawen :Obviously I'm not just sitting here waiting for Eric to finish the tracks. I'm working very hard every day on all the things that need to be done, and I believe that once a month I might be able to think of one or two interesting things to say, maybe something I thought of or something I've been working on. Smile

I'm just saying, although each progress report will be mainly some pictures of a track, I should hope to add a few words about something else, occasionally. Smile

Thanks for your work! But can this mean that there is enough time to finish physics and combine new graphics and physics builds in one?
Or will it be a separate update of new graphics and tracks?

Quote from Racon :Re spiral
You can smooth them out a little by overlapping different gradients, like this:

Believe me, I know all these ways of smoothing, and the best one of it is that I do regulary-



But all this means that you need to do a lot of objects and it will still not be completely smooth, so it will be easier and optimized for layouts just to have one object for it, as I showed in first comment.

P.S.

Cleanup : Offtopic posts from R test patch thread

Hello developers, I would like to return the conversation to the layout editor, I made a lot of layouts for servers and events for my time of the game and as an experienced in this regard, I thought it over carefully and I have several suggestions. On points on subjective opinion in order of importance if you do not mind)

1 - adjustment grip of the surface of concrete objects (for example using a slider) would be great if it was possible to do not only concrete objects but simply change the grip and make it as an example for asphalt (it is possible at the same time and changing the texture although it is not critical) would greatly diversify the already annoying all concrete tracks, which incidentally is a bit unnatural)

2 - I would like you to enter a selection of objects with a mouse, selecting with a square or by a area lika a brush (That you do not need to click on each object, sometimes you just explode when your selection accidentally gets lost when you click among the heap of objects 30 times) and removed this annoying restriction in 30 selected objects, this would greatly for speed-up the creation of layouts.


3 - New concrete objects, the main problem in concrete objects is now that you cant make a corner at the same time as uphill, you will get extremely unpleasant steps on which the car will jump, this introduces a huge restriction on making replicas of many tracks, and they can not be repeated smoothly (and I have this experience) I propose to make a new uphill object with a corner, with height sliders, the angle of rotation and the radius



4 - decrease the pitch of the parts, for example, when again we will make replicas for the trails with a step with 0.25 very large and this means that we can not make a smooth lift or a smooth descent, I think a step of 0.05 could correct the situation, or You can such a step keep in that way but allow the user to enter their own value to 0.01, this would be ideal.


5 - New concrete objects. It would be nice if it were possible to do not only triangles, but also do different circles objects (for example, with an size and ellipse slider, semicircles curved like springboards and scate ramps (with hight, length, angle of curve sliders), and the like that I showed in the picture, this would again simplify the creation of many things.


6 - More sliders for objects, I think the same concrete objects can be much more distorted, for example, for the wall to make thickness, for the Wedge of a separate change in size on the sides, and so on, there is no limit to fantasy, but it means a lot of space for the laymakers.

7 - Normal connection of concrete objects with the curvature of the tracks, will be better if concrete alaign with surface m like a Barrier or Speed hump (and if we can switch alaign mode), sometimes it is very uncomfortable but if it is difficult to fix, then it's not a big problem.


8 - Creating text objects, sometimes having to work to write something in objects in the editor, it would be great if this process could be simplified. Although this is not so important as the first points)


9 - More colors (or textures, or both) for concrete, maybe somebody will be against it (Do not make a minecraft from the autosimulator blablabla), but sometimes you just need to make the track look more like a real track, and simulate for example grass with objects (the green color does not exist) and so on. And the one who wants to see everywhere the minecraft they will build a minecraft, and they who needs realism, will build quality tracks.

10 - And as always, we want more number of objects available if it is a possibleSmile

And not editor actually thing, but players and laymakers always want to use as much space as possible to create tracks, because there are also rally events on the grass and drift events in the parkings and not all of them to do comfortably when in many places you cant drive because the getting under the texture on the open tracks configurations and would be great if it could be to correct

The first 5 points are the most important for me, the rest can close your eyes.. But I understand that you are now very busy merging the code of the two LFS builds, but if that makes sense and you could at least add something to do the easiest thing from the list it would be greatSmile Thank you for attention!

Quote from Ibtasim6781 : But I don't blame them, Eric is working like a carbon mine slave and nobody to aid him and make things faster.

.

Many players who know this, and have the experience (in 3d modeling, coding or project promotion) of wanting to help developers, even for free, but Skawen ignores all requests to help them...
I do not even know how not to blame them...

Quote from k_badam :This doesn't need adding, give us normal cars that racers can use.

Racers can use all cars, but drifters can use 3-4 cars..and even so, none of them does not comply with current real standards for drift, today on all events power more than 500hp, tires 265 or more, weight about 1 ton etc. We just want to at least one driveable car for this..Stop being so egoistic. Еvery day more and more fans of drift and to ignore it is just silly.
In fact Drift already so everyone recognizes motorsports and lfs is primarily as motorsport simulator

This guy who created the topic (Nikita Makarov) is professionally drifter in Russia, he also won some events and he is very experienced in this, that is an indication that he understands this activity.
btw this live for speed sticker is from his actual drift car - photo on topic

А couple of examples

Quote from elputas :Scawen, would be great on a XRG, XRT, FZ5, RAC with 50 degrees steering range. Only RWD.

Here is a great suggestion for saving hotlaps.

Isn`t it easier to make separate class for drifting. Same as XRT-XRR (we suggest XRD) isnt it great?! You can add unique options to XRD such as Weight/track width/steering angle/caster adjustment and more power. Also special drift slicks would be great but we can understand how difficult it is. And You can not take into account the results of the races for these cars. Hope you understand.

will be great for drfiters in lfs

And i want to remind you, most popular youtube video about the LFS is a drift video, often the fullest servers - a drift servers , and I think the drift community LFS is quite large, and perhaps really should support their development of this kind

And again it is a drift, I think it is high time to think about it, because it is clear that the drift community, if not dominant, it is clearly quite influential in LFS community , I think developers should like support the drift community too.

Dynamic weather changes, dynamic change of the asphalt temperature, and wheel.

Hi, I wanted to say about dynamic weather changes, dynamic change of the asphalt temperature it can significantly affect the gameplay racing, and make lots of new tactics associated with it.

As I think that it was possible add more adjustment for steering angle for rear wheel drive cars at least а 5-10
degrees will be cool, for the racers it will not make a profit, and the other driver (like drifters) it will be great.

And so I'm looking forward to Full map editor, which would make a normal replica tracks.

Quote from SergoMorello :Sorry, for off topic, Scawen. Is it possible to make a little more adjustment for steering angle for rear wheel drive cars? As you already know how big drifting community is in LFS. Maybe just a few more degrees. It will not affect grip racing and mess with hotlaps. But it will help LFS drifters a lot, and will bring new emotions.

thank you

+1 yeah, in lfs not enough stuff for drifting

Thats good, but... Why the graphics in game still the same, nothing new? And why nothing done for improve the smoke from tyres? No new tracks... Need more cars! Cause this all cars is annoying me! We need More opportunities for car settings!!!! Thats why rFactor leading =((( I love LFS, and I need it be BETTER!!!!
