Quote from RasmusL :

.. Very optimistic, only a few years for S3? When 1 new car took years?

Wrong, Scirroco did not take years, It was done already.

The Physics update is the only thing hampering the Scirroco Release and the Track (and apparently, another car as well ) that we know of.

Victor appears to be a very quick modeler to me.. probably faster than me....

Quote from teedot :

Just face it... LFS is dead. You can argue the definition of "dead" until you're blue in the face for all I care. Eventually you all will accept or at least come to realize the reality of this "situation".

Enjoy what you have, I wouldn't expect any updates in the future.

I doubt 3 developers would quit this job in particular when it has too much potential.

Don't you complain, my hammer 'itchin to hammer down something great.. but all I get is a world of shit and women looking like something left after a trainwreck :weeping:

I have been waiting for The Very End to post here =)

I love your comments.

Quote from JeffR :

"... if only I had waited until turn 2 before I tried to pass those 6 other players ..."

The online play isn't dead, it's just changed, from what it was back in 2003 when I started with S1. As mentioned there are still a large number of players online, more so than most other racing games.

I always knew that with just 3 developers, progress was going to be slow, and my guess back in 2005 was that S3 would get released in 2009, which probably would have been true had it not been for the tire physics redo.

I've never understood why they call it "alpha", since it's really a "beta" release, since the public or a sub-set of the public are testing the game, as opposed to an "alpha" release which is "in house", hired game testers, and/or consultants, but not the general public.

My own guess would be 2015 for S3.

If only it wasn't a joke, as the whole forum is convinced that I'm an Apple fanboy.

0_o Apples are cool.

But windows is were my programming skills lie.

Quote from rich_hobo94 :

I don't play as much nowdays but that has to do with time limitations. Given the time, I would play a lot more. The tweaks and mods available are the only things making it better for me these days...

Seriously tho guys why do you feel the need to post billions of these negative threads?? How about a thread titled "Thanks Devs for all the hard work and keep it up!"????

Please . Do it

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Ahhhh you're animeted
That was bad

And you love my cardboard eyebrows.....

Quote from -NightFly- :

looking at this thread makes me feel extremely lucky man

I feel like a mutant now.

Ill probably target teh cosplay model.

Quote from MadCatX :

It is most certainly not, maybe you could call this state as a "coma", but that's just because everyone was looking forward to the new patch. When devs ran into some trouble, some people bored with the current stuff quit playing. But that is very likely to change once the patch is out, we can only hope it will be soon

I dont know about that one,

Apparently demo racers are getting their crack(s) from hamsters:

Quote :

Is it dying? Yup? Is that anything special? Not really. All games die without hardcore constant development and even games WITH hardcore constant development end up dying (did anyone in the 90s really believed that Everquest would die? Well it's dead now...).

Imagine how you would feel if you were one of only 3 people developing a sim for ungrateful community members that have no understanding for how hard your work was - and had to read that.

3 years later LFS would have 3 years more worth of code in it, and still alpha....

Have you any idea at all how hard it can be to keep track of your code in such a vast array of code files? So many lines. I myself, have had to deal with both. And here you would be trying to provide the BEST final product possible, even if it takes ages.

I would ban you =/

Quote :

HOWEVER, again, the devs have to realize that LFS needs to move forward if it wants to survive strong.

They know that better than anyone. But how much can 3 people do by themselves?

@ Everybody......

I posted this thread out of frustration.......


You all made me go LOLROFLZOMGWTFMWHAHAH... This thread is extremely funny now that I came back to check on it.......

Actually what happened is....

1: she quit her job
2: became a leach
3: broke my PC... twice
4: cooked horribly
5: orgazzed in less than 5 minutes
6: lazy
7: Got very annoying
8: Never wanted to STFU
9: became hard to get rid of



I have gotten rid of her now...... (I like Japanese girls... so im looking for another)


=)

Thanks guys, you made my day......

<----- one South African who thinks South Africa does not deserve to host th WC...

I feel sorry for any unsuspecting tourist that comes here without checking out out common RSA problems ahead of time.

Quote from farcar :

Rollcage was awesome <queue fond memories of Psygnosis>
Good luck to you!

Thanks. Hopefully you will enjoy our edition when the time comes...

I don't believe it.


Carrying on:

some kind of "Noble" would be interesting.......

Quote :

And why.. why the hell they dont give the code free for hobby Programmer.

Ugh......

Quote from hp999 :

kthxbai.

Agreed....


Proprietary code cannot be released because of the risk of income loss. And that would be risking the existence of the dev's entire project altogether.

If you want a programming project : join Mat and Slinger and I on our RCX project creating a arcade racing game based on the Rollcage Series: We are opensource, therefore as a "hobby" programmer you can have something to do, even if we don't like you.....

LFS will NEVER publicly release their source, and with good reason.

You want to mess with code and do mods? We need programmers, Spam our forum instead of making wack-job requests here... We need the help, Scawen doesn't want or need it, also with good purity reasons.

Scawen would probably say the same thing... Want to code?: go Insim, or get a opensource project...

We are using (and aiming for) pretty realistic physics (through ODE).. im sure with enough study you could mod OUR engine into the LFS YOU WANT...... over time with patience...



Otherwise get another race sim. I'm getting tired of hearing people demand the same shit over and over again. If you don't like the 'lack of modding' , capabilities then go get a race sim with modding tools.

Try this:

Check your GFX card settings for. Mip-Mapping Quality and AF.

Turn them all the way up and see if it fixes this.

I dont believe this to be a LFS bug, but more of a GFX card or driver bug.

Also, in LFS also check your multi-player LOD (raise the LOD distance) and also you LOD in graphics settings, this could have an effect on it.


If all else failed. Re install you graphics drivers and check they are updated, then raise their settings to max and see if it is still happening.

Quote from hp999 :

You cant,because you're a demo user.

Besides that...
Good job,you just gave yourself out.

Sweet. They always so .... unbrainy?

Quote from FlyingSam :

Do you think that you will gain anything with that post? It's a demo server... there are more servers.

This is funny :



How I saw it at first: "Unfair Ban by SlyingSpam"

Quote from War :

Well as they're making a Scirocco for LFS, then why not a VW Caddy:

Quote from samjh :

"blah blah blah blah "

Is that a R8 LMP1 in your avatar?

Condom

Quote from pik_d :

What. :sadbananaWe would need R5s or R6s just to drive it.

Or just take it easy on the gas =)

Quote from Reik :

Damn, I really got to buy S2 soon Btw are those tyre walls for LFS or only for your rendering program?

Buy it fast, It might run away from you =)

=)

I appreciate it, to those that understood my point.

But i think we drifting slightly off topic now =/

<!--------- I have had S2 since 2006.

My poor connection and region atm is my limitation online.

But last week I put in 350 laps offline in the BF1 for Aston Testing, and approx 200 more for KY3. Plus many on the Oval for KY1 suspension improvements.

I am addicted to S2.

But to be honest (DONT TRY THIS)....

Before I bought it ... I had it cracked just to try it out privatly.... as a 'S2 Trial' so to speak.
I bought LFS in full only a week later after that. And now I am still around (as a ghost) in 2010...

This is the first time I am mentioning this here. But some people have their reasons. If you intend to buy it, I think it's moderately ok. If you don't. - I Will Kill Youuuuuu, and so will Scawen.

I will be buying a second account soon, because we are promoting it at the company I work for,this last weekend I showed off LFS at our new store's Grand Opening, and a Lan Party was run until 1AM.

I would kill to find a good event that runs on only saturdays (Harare/Pretoria timezone).... Particularly if it was the Fragmaster 360 degree event on KY1....


If this doesn't convince you to buy LFS and support our great and (moderately) patient developers, then I dont know what will... considering how long you have been a demo driver.

There are alot of dedicated members of the LFS community here, it looks like you could easily become part of the S2 croud of dedicated drivers that will probably never leave. SO do it, I dare you... BUY S2.... then BUY S3 whenever it appears in the next decade.....

I obviously stated the site was down with my quote....

yet the person directly after me asks anyhow.

Funny thing is, no matter how many times you tell them, they always ask =(

Our community ... alot of our sim racers have the memory of about half of a goldfish's - and sometimes the IQ of a bar of soap.
