I refuse to buy $2000-$4000 VR stuff for it and look like an idiot in the house when somebody wants to talk to me. .

Because nothing looks cooler than an adult staring at a screen and playing with a downsized toy steering wheel on their desk.

A suggestion, maybe have that shop site linked or even better merged, in the shop section of the main site. I didn't know that existed till yesterday and I've had the game a while.

15 quid for shipping??? Thanks but no thanks, not spending that much for shipping

Well overall, if you buy a few things, it works out really quite good. Even with the current crappy exchange rate.

Listening devices will now need software to access the iphone, this means lots of money in third party licenses for apple as well as the opportunity to impose DRM.

I have 170 tracks installed for Assetto Corsa. 170 tracks.

The problem is, you're happy with mediocre and quantity over quality. You are a mediocre driver on this game, though feel you've exhausted the content and I am sure you're fairly terrible on other sims switching between 170 tracks. That's why you value such bullshit as having lots of modded tracks over Scawen's programming achievement because it's inconceivable to you the level of what he's done.

Plus, what do you think will happen? He'll read this thread and think "the shallow bogan is right, I'll change work ethos just to please little twats like this" You're better off not thinking about this game and just carry on bending over and continue letting irental take your money and your self respect.

Are mod tracks now an achievement for developers?

Responding to someone's forum post isn't a sign of caring.

Im sure you guys know that i loved LFS for many years, otherwise i wouldn't be here talking about it. Its because i love it that i get sad and frustrated to see how its been handled over this ladt decade.

Translated: Got bored of the game two years ago, wants times back that are past and wants to whine about it

Move on. Find another game to play. It's a big world with lots to do in it. Nobody cares about your disappointment.

Come on, be fair. Europe will lose out by not having a tirade of memes and hastily sourced web links to help defend it's liberty.

UK does exit polls for elections but not referendums. I don't think an exit poll can accurately call a referendum like it can an election because elections are decided in small areas.

You need to Alt+Tab after detecting the wheel. The profiler doesn't fully load its configuration until a game windows gets focus.

Quote :

As Whiskey said, with Logitech wheels you need to refocus LFS once after plugging in the wheel, e.g. with ALT+TAB or by clicking on another window and back to LFS. Annoying but at least you don't need to restart LFS.

Cheers!

This should be fine now. It was fixed so when you are in the controls screen you see your own axes, not those of the viewed car.

Nice one

Presumably there would have to be some sort of programming change to make it work with steam. They, or Scawen on his own rather, would then have to sort steam keys for all the users. They wouldn't get all the money per purchase. They would get absolutely murdered in the steam reviews for the way and rate of pace the game is worked on. Servers would likely get beset by the kind of idiots that use arcade racing games. Don't know whether you've ever been on Assetto Corsa public racing servers, full of numptys. So in short:

More effort that takes away from developing the game
Less money per purchase
Likely lowering the quality of racing in the game
Higher overall return is speculative.
Possible ethical objection to making a third party DRM a requirement.

Controllers may be plugged in and detected after LFS is started

I tried this with my G27. It detected it after I hit refresh but the wheel was near impossible to move.

One thing that would be nice would be the ability to calibrate a wheel, whilst on a server, without having to join first. Joining with an uncalibrated wheel has always caused it to go into a motorised spasm before shift + o is quickly entered. If you go to options when spectating, it is reading the input of the spectated car. Perhaps an option to calibrate the wheel from the pit screen/options button in the pit screen?

Looks good. I uploaded a set, it read locked diff as viscous diff. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the rest as it's just off the top of my head.

Could there also be a field to put what version of LFS the set is made in and for that to be searchable?

Are you sure it's legal? Age of sexual consent and the age you can be in a porn video is not the same in most places.

The sky, sun, pit garage all reflect in the dashboard glass of the FZR as if there is no car body/driver about. It's a fair bit immersion breaking. It also continues to show the sky if you turn it off. Other users on the server also reported the same issue. I don't know whether that ugly outline in the screenshot is standard or just because I am using a custom interior texture. The screenshot was taken at Westhill.

Are you sure it's steam and not your ISP throttling you?

Quote from cargame.nl :

I don't agree. Cruising is a big part of LFS nowadays, it helps to get Rockingham more popular if that parking lot is accessible/drivable and you would be able to drive from tunnel to tunnel.

Even for racing it would be cool to make a custom layout. I am sure that the dev team was/is disappointed that the (racing) community didn't take the full potential out of Westhill 2.0's capabilities but this is mainly due to uncertainties about the future of LFS and time investment. Now it looks like LFS is here to stay I think people (including myself) are willing to put a bit more creativity into it.

I have no idea but I guess it's not that extremely difficult to make that area drivable because it's mainly flat. Rockingham is a landmark for LFS, why not squeeze that little bit of extra out of it. *Unless the track license cannot make it possible.

Dunno about that, Absolute Beginner's league had a 6 round cup of custom tracks using the outer Westhill environment http://www.absolute-beginners.nl/news.php?item.786.10 I've seen it being used in quite a few other places. Personally, I thought it was great. I know people keep saying to allow mods but the whole thing of adding custom objects into existing environments to create new places to race/drive has always been a much easier way of going on. I also haven't seen other racing games offering the ability to be able to customise environments the way LFS can be (correct me on that if I am wrong).

Reverse configs at real tracks are often dangerous because of the design of the barriers.

You have those barriers at Westhill. I can confirm that 0 people have been injured or killed driving Westhill in reverse config
