Is anyone going to be at the debut next month to check out what the simulator will be?

Quote from Vykos69 :

Yesterday evening on GIGA the projectmanager announced the Intel Racing Tour. This tour will have events throughout whole germany until Feb. 07.

Main price is a BMW M6. On those events you can play the BF1 in some cockpits and qualify for the final event. The online game on the site is a flash-based game and has nothing to do with the Tour-game, which is LFS.

The projectmanager also said, that there wont be a free copy with the BF1, but it will be in the game and everyone can buy the game and practice at home.

So the bottom line: intel has a game that needs skill for their Racing Tour, and LFS has the BF1. As incognito said, that's a win/win situation.

Has the track to be used for the event been announced? :3

BF1 on Aston North or BLGP for crazy fun and a sound check, then RAC to compare new and old tyre physics. I just hope they did something for the BF1's sound. Has anyone tried to make a current V8 F1 engine in LFSTweak?

Don't think many want to register on random boards. Let guests in.

So true. Often registration is more hindrance than help. (see points about registration in this article) http://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/shiichan

I read in a thread somewhere that on ovals trains of cars can be faster than single cars because when drafting there's an effect where the car in front can get a small boost in speed or reduction in drag without bumping because of an effect from the car behind being in its draft. Is this true, and is it possible with the patch?

FOB for BMW?

My hope is that the "interesting new feature" is some improvement to the sound. Because if they're going to put a proper F1 car in the game, it's got to have that signature scream.

The image's filename is "teaser1.jpg". Does that mean it's the first in a series?

I guess I'll be off too. For those staying who need a way to pass the time, here's something completely different.

I'm so torn... mash F5, or go racing on the first populated Gti/GT S2 server I've found in months?

What was the photoshop in that case?

Comparing the current Blackwood

to the fogged Blackwood,
http://www.liveforspeed.net/guru.html

there's a couple of things that stand out.

The Castrol sign over the pit exit is gone.
The trees inside of T1 cast less shadow, or cast it directly downwards.
Same for the trees on the left of the backstraight and the ones between the pits and the tents.
The sign over the highway on the left, off the track has changed.
A shadow without a source just under the tents on the right has been removed. Same for several shadows on the barriers along the front and back straights.

Maybe the Blackwood fog and revised dashboards are the actual update for today?

What have the update times have been so far?

Quote from Sk0rp :

I just think, that the pic should show us the new FOG feature of the game.
Would met the statement:"better waste a minute in life, than life in a minute".
Fog=dangerous

If we do get heavy fog, maybe using it will mean lower track temperatures, and therefore lower grip?

The forum has become so slow from the load it feels like we're back on RSC! >_<

Quote from Madman_CZ :

would the fox and fo8 really have lights tho? bit unrealistic to have lights on single seaters

Single seaters (F1 at least) do have lights on the REAR, so that other drivers can see them in rain/fog.

Quote :

The fog looks like rain i mean you can see actual raindrops.

I don't see any raindrops.

Can anyone read the sidewall name on the FOX image??

Quote from Vain :

1. Yay, we've got fog!
2. The FO8 is the only car tha get's around that time through BW.

Vain

However, many of the cars can manage close to a minute on the rallycross configs.

Quote from Madman_CZ :

lol nice car there..... i am now expecting the patch monday!

Don't they usually release the server software first?

I wonder how much the front page traffic spikes in the last few minutes before an update.

So it's about 11 hours until the next update...

Quote from Shotglass :

i think theyll have more grip at low speed so the tyres wont spin anymore on those low powered fwds

Say what? The FWD tires will definitely still spin if you redline and drop the clutch. The question isn't if they will spin but what happens when they DO spin. Fast starts like now or slower acceleration.

There's more to life than WRs and hotlaps anyway. :P
