You are correct in saying there is not much that we can, but what we can do, is voice our concerns on the website and forums they provide for this community. I am not trying to start a fight or instigate trolling, I am merely trying to discuss the current situation.

Well, my confidence in promoting my team is working, just added a new member today who will be a great asset to this team.

Let's keep the competition on the track and let me handle my team business in a subtle manner.

Quote from Kid222 :

You should re-read at least Scawens posts from last 3 years. You missed so much explanations to your question.

I understand the reasons scawen had posted, what I don't understand is why the lack of communication. I am not saying that he needs to release a unfinished product, but some periodic (3-6 month progress reports) news updates on the progress would be very reassuring to not only me, but I would bet the rest of the community would appreciate it too.

You can't expect people to not question why there has been nothing new added to the game since S2. Especially since they made the announcements about the new content they have worked on and completed (other than the tyre physics.) I can assure you that Rockingham is 100% completed and the Scirocco is close, if not already finished except for small changes once the tyre physics is completed. The car model and textures are not hard to complete, just look at the people who are adding new car models (even tho against LFS terms of use).

Withholding new content on the hopes of finishing the tyre physics just seems silly. Because when the new physics come out, all the WR's will be erased and all setups will be rendered useless anyway. Satisfy the people who have helped fund this "3 man project" for over 10 years and give us some sort of regular progress report, not once a year, or whenever they feel we have asked enough times.

Quote from Kid222 :

If you've read devs posting at least a little bit, they have said many times, they are doing things their way. This is not usual gaming industry machinery, it's project of few men, who do it for living, yes, but also for fun, their own education, extending their horizons. I think you are having the wrong idea of this whole thing.

Which is why LFS does not have the user base nor the popularity that games who follow the industry standard do.

I do understand it's a 3 man team, but c'mon. Where did their energy go? They were updating this game like crazy in the beginning, now it seems as tho they have taken a more uncaring and unexcited approach.

The description change was approved, let me know if you think it could be better and ill work on it more.

I took some info from lfs.net and added some of my own wording as well.

Quote from Hahmo :

I hope you realise there is 15 posts in this thread, of which 11 are yours.
Now think closely what I mean.

Is there a problem with me updating my team thread in the team section with news regarding my team?

waiting on a response from WikidHunter. I would say sometime mid/late this month.

Someone who doesn't understand the entire gaming industry would say something like that.

The fact of the matter remains, LFS is a video game, nothing more, nothing less. You don't see LFS being used to train race drivers, nor do you see the fanfare and player base that other quality games have.

LFS is dying unless, from all of our complaints, the devs come and grace us with a response about the developments that have taken place since the last response they provided us over 6 months ago.

On Topic: -> His temperatures are not the problem. They are mentioned on the previous page. He just needs a windows XP CD key...

He would notice issues with everything if it was the fact his windows was not legit. Matter of fact, he would be informed during login that his windows was not genuine as well as possibly being locked out of his computer until he makes it genuine.

Quote from lolzol :

The 8800GTS is a bit better than his ATI 128mb card. So of course it overheats. since the 7600 series from Nvidia laptops always overheated during gaming. Ati always had the advantage there.

It was a gaming laptop was the point and it still had issues. The vents and fans on it were not enough because laptops do not have space in them for the heat to be efficiently and effectively dissipated. Without the free flowing airflow like desktops, you will see shortened life span with your laptop due to gaming and heat.

I have submitted my changes for approval by someone on the Moby website. I only edited the description for now.

Do you use your laptop at a desk with adequate ventilation to all you vents and fans? Exposure to abnormally high temps for long periods of time or repeated overheating degrades the thermal paste on your CPU aswell as the GPU and with this being a laptop it is hard to repaste those items. If you can't get you temperatures under control you will inevitably fry your GPU and/or CPU. When electronics heat up it causes more resistance, which in turn will cause stuttering and freezing. I killed a laptop with a Nvidia 8800GTS last year because it kept overheating while trying to play video games.

Laptops (unless designed specifically for it OR using an external cooler/cooling pad) are bad for gaming.

......GBP EUR USD CAD AUDYEN
S1 £ 12 € 14.92 $ 18.39 $ 19.08 $ 18.95 ¥ 1446
S2 £ 24 € 29.84 $ 36.77 $ 38.17 $ 37.91 ¥ 2892
rates provided by the International Monetary Fund

Those are the current prices for S1 and S2. I know this has been said time and time before, but if there was a reduction in price due to the age of this game, there would be more interest in purchasing it.

Look at the USD prices. For BOTH those prices you can get much newer games that are more frequently updated for around those prices. I mean seriously, OVER half the cost of CoD MW3 ($60), Skyrim($60), and MANY more.

This is a perfect example of poor PR and poor marketing.

What was supposed to be the debut league race for MM ended before it ever started. A broken wheel mount left John H. no choice but to cancel participation in today's OLFS Event #3. Replacement mounts have been ordered and hopefully we will make our debut at the next event.

All MM servers have been restored, the maintenance has completed. Our server was one of several to receive upgraded network interface cards. This upgrade has increased our server capabilities tremendously. Motion Motorsports will be increasing the frequency and number of LFS events we hold because of this unexpected upgrade.

Enjoy.

We are sending you this email to notify you that our Operations team will be performing an important emergency maintenance on our Hyper-V blade servers. These servers will be upgraded with the latest Intel cards, replacing the current Broadcom network interface cards. This replacement will significantly enhance the functioning of your server.

MM servers will be down until the Maintenance is completed. Service interruption due to this maintenance is expected to last 2.5 hours.

Great work, Andro.

There is the Motion Motorsports Rally server too, fairly new but has great pings and always online.

Demo and S2 (newly added) Rally servers are online.

not a league, its just a race series. I will just wait for josh to see the post I made over here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=30&page=21

An error with Airio was causing bad tyres to be displayed on the MM Rally server. That error has been corrected.

Well NGC has closed as a team, but I am getting in contact with WikidHunter about still holding this event. Either myself (former NGC founder) or Wikid (Former NGC Founder) will post an update on here ASAP.

Please feel free to continue signing up, as there is a large chance the event will still be held.

Quote from boothy :

How do you expect it to show up on the spdo database when it's no even on the lfsw teams database?

You sure you checked right? because I found it just fine on LFSW.

Quote from rockclan :

if it's gonna be on spdoDB you can count me in!

I would like it to be, but I am trying to get MM added to the team database first, not going to submit the event if I can't get the team added before it starts. =(

Motion Motorsports qualifies last place for Pool #4 race of OLFS Event #3
For our first league event, this is not much of a shock for us, we look forward to the opportunity of being an underdog in this event. Either way, will be a fun race. =)
