What Jesus said.

Quote from SidiousX :

People like you are the reason these threads get closed, you come in here and do the usual "Stop complaining about the new patch, I'm gonna kiss the dev's asses by supporting their way too damn long development rate, and not agreeing with everyone that's pissed off about it." Lay off already, and gtfo.

Sounds like it's time for you to find a new time-killer.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Im just wondering if the devs know the situation they're in? Everyone is bored and fed up of them doing things their way

Nope

Quote from Dac :

No car racing as far as I know drifts into corners during qualifying or race laps nor do they brake hard going ON the curbs.

I am happy to be wrong if anybody can show a vid for proof, but from every form of real-life motorsports ive seen it doesnt happen. Drifting overheats the tyres, and the curbs offer LESS traction than the rubber covered track tarmac.

Wasn't there a change to slipstream physics a while back?

I could nearly always tell when something locked up, using an xbox gamepad. It's a pretty loud signal in the car's overall feedback. Unless your setup mutes it, or you're not near the edge of the envelope.

Is someone keeping odds? I'm betting on Bob's mod.

Formulas don't use the chassis for suspension.

Quote from The Stig PL :

wait. isn't XFG naturally aspirated ?

It is. Doesn't change the trend... 4 cylinders everywhere. No road V's. Almost nothing but ~2 liters. Only 1 weird MR and nothing but "difficult"-tempered models in the only pure sports car class.

Your fears and rants are baseless and you're too thick to understand it, even when it's been explained to you 10 different ways.

Quote from gotspeed :

all the comments like this you guys bash on scawens coding ability more then i do. you think with how good of a game he has made he can't make a little more realistic smoke effect.

Quote from gotspeed :

how is it that one guy with 3d max or what ever can render his own car and realistic smoke. yet after 4+ years 3 guys working on a sim can't get smoke right.

Quote :

i think its more he doesn't reason how much of a in pack it makes on the racing.

Or that you're totally mistaken on what the priorities are.

blah blah blah my truck blah blah LFS is arcade blah blah I could make a better LFS in half Scawen's time & effort with a hand tied behind my back
blah
blah

blah

Quote from The Very End :

Oh! Haha!
Actually no, I did not understanded that you did pull out a joke on me
Good to hear you agree hehe.. Well, saying that the whole community is like that is wrong, but it has it's problems.

you didn't read the post about my system did you? i get 340 fps at 1920x1200
gtx 295 and i7 @3.2 lfs at most uses 12% cpu if i recall right.

Stop posting and write that code. Let's see you do it instead of talk about it.

No guts and glory except the big fit you're throwing over a non-issue.

Quote from gotspeed :

its not like there are trying to land a man on pluto they are trying to recreate something that any one in a 3d design course would have to do.

Or maybe they don't want to cheap out and hack smoke graphics, but do it right and maybe do it from scratch their own way. Either way your whole gripe was bunk from the start.

The brakes don't glow, metal grind from bottoming out doesn't give sparks, the sun doesn't glint off exact specular angles, dirt doesn't appear on any surfaces, bodywork doesn't break, and so on and on.

Everyone knows already. Where's your proof that you could code a realistic smoke system easily enough that Scavier ought to have fitted it into their past or present to-do short list?

A big honking V8 powered model like a ZR1 would be about as attractive to US players..

Physics first. If you can't stand that, come back later when LFS is putting on the eye candy polish on those physics. End of story.

Wait, no - You said you could do a better job. Let's see you do that. Walk the walk. Take Scawen to school on how to code realistic and efficient smoke graphics.

Did you say smoke?

There's more to motorsports than eco-class 4 bangers. Missing staples of production motorsports are: the muscle car (Aussie and American), the FR roadster in its various iterations (TVR/Healy/M3/Corvette/350Z etc), the exotic MR (Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani, GT40, R8, etc), the exotic FR (F550, 599), the 4WDs (GT-R, Audi RS4, Subarus, Mistubishis etc).. There's plenty of other possibilities like rally racers or LMPs, but as it is the road cars are mostly 4 bangers, and don't have a single V engine and just one model over 2.4 L displacement. It's not at all a complete representation of production road cars.
A gearhead looking for a real raunchy sports car is limited to the esoteric LX6 or the Porsche.

Yep sorry I typed that up too quick. Doesn't really change how many i4's LFS is made of.

We could use one or two more GTRs to make as rich a field as real GTRs.. Certainly an MR and maybe an NA large displacement FR.

The dodges and subject changes and non sequitur strawmen and jingoism just keep on comin...

Quote from Mille Sabords :

The devs take a risk here, and it is up to us to support it - since we (forum users in general) have been requesting real cars and tracks for years in the improvement suggestion threads. In a way we, LFS community, made a "promise" to the devs that a real car / track against fee could work out

Keep in mind the forum may or may not be a representative sample of the player base.

Quote from Bose321 :

How can you run on a bike?

To "run" a race is proper english.

Those trucks look like they'd be a lot of fun in LFS rally cross. Just a bit large for the current RX tracks though.

Quote from hrtburnout :

I thought you guys had been working on more content behind the scenes, just like with S2 back in 2005. If not, I am disappointed. I will ofcourse get S3, but I was hoping to be surprised with more content.

Reread Bob Smith's post in-line with Scawen's.. Putting the more expensive developments into S3 and making S3 tier of content/features available now (meaning asap, or sooner than later anyway) means, as far as I see, that Scavier can add more real cars and tracks.
