indeed tracks looks like to take time to be well done Wink
Maybe Racer Y was including the physics part into the time taken into account when asking about the global time to spend on each (but as far as I understand how LFS seems to behave, the physics are not typical for each car, but something a bit more global ... but again, its only imo)

Hope Fern Bay is going well dear Eric Tongue

Looks like it is 12 for demo users, 15 spectators + the host ?

Quote from Ped7g :The old tracks then would not work. It's one way update, breaking the old stuff, so everything needs update.

Unless you want new version with unfinished tracks disabled... Smile

I suspect we may have, like it happenned in the past, a test version without everything directly (like Blackwood only) for some times before the whole release can take place.

We're getting there gradually. It's a lot of work on the programming side and the content side but we like the results!

Thumbs up
Good luck ! It seems really impressive ! LFS 2.0 on the way !

A small edit :
Quote from Pasci :Hello Devs

Do we get a little update about the current state/progress of LFS development?
- TracksFern Bay
- Lighting and/or DirectX 11
- Tire physics

The last (progress) video was from dec 2019. Hopefully you can publish some newer videos, too.

Many thanks

Quote from Botswanan Salama :...
troy, nikopdr, yorap... all of them benefit from using manual clutch to my understanding. It depends a lot on the car/track combination of course.
...

I was doing some testing of UFR and FZR with a manual clutch pedal => this is crazy ! Heel and toe, no left-foot braking in entrance, time lost when switching from gaz to brake, no way to be very competitive regarding the level of quicker guys. This why seeing people using this BC is clearly insane to me when you know how hard it is for those who are fast and willing to be purist !

Quote from Racon :...
PS: I know you said that point was controversial, but the auto-clutch discussion ends before it even starts when real-life paddle-shifters are auto-clutch, doesn't it?

This when you have a car with it ... our current road cars are not really fitting this !

I agree, 100%.
The clutch thing is just insane. For those who are saying that BC is normal, go and drive in LFS using your left foot for clutch as in a classic car, you will see why normal minded people see this as cheating (in the end, even autoclutch can be considered as cheating ...).
ABS stuff is linked to how the tires behave curently with too much grip under most circunmstances + a setting that should either make the wheels to lock a little like older cars may still have (or like modern cars where ABS is killing a bit your braking distance by being a bit too sensitive on many brands).
One note regarding hotlaps : I am quite fine with teleportation unless there is a system that automatically drive the car at the right speed on the right line. Setting the tire temperature at 1°c is maybe not realistic, but it avoids to see the guy drifitng stupidely the car at the begining => waste of time, kB and time !
Handbrake ... no word Big grin Face -> palm

Quote from karamurat1004 :I was waiting for the May progress report, it's been a long time, I hope we can hear new news.

Last big update of South City or Kyoto have taken at least 3 months before we can have a look ... Fern Bay is requiring maybe lots of time aswell (I would bet on more ...) due to its 'level' ... so before end of June would have been very optimistic simply based on what we have seen through progress reports ! But anyway, surprises are always welcome !

Its a Shame what happend to LFS,its simply Dead,like the Progress from Scavier.
...

"non-delivered progress" is not "no progress", see what is prepared in the progress reports ! And we know that not everything is shown !

Quote from Esimde :Okay, okay. Thank you for feedback.
I have one more question. Payments are made via "Sage Pay". Do they charge a commission and other additional transaction fees?

If it is not explicit at your level, they may charge the provider (by giving less money to him).
You can have your bank charging you for the currency change (Zloty to Pound)

OT : seeing the current price of crude oil ... I will not guess on less polluting way to get the economy back on when (if) the pandemy will be a bit over !

Paypal do not transfer the thing directly, and so sometime you have to wait a bit more than what you may have exoected. Several cases already.
