or Westhill, or both ...

but for next year, the speculation will be ... massive : seeing the remaining tracks on which nothing has been spoiled

Anyway, we have some beatiful screnshots to wait with
Thanks for this

Quote from Degats :

Yet another round of comparisons:

...
Some big changes there; I'm yet to find anything that hasn't been re-profiled!
Eric's been working hard

Thanks ! Indeed : this is crazy to see the evolution !!! Excellent job again Mr Eric !!!

Looks like Club circuit will be slower by a consequent margin

Quote from Scawen :

Correct, that was wrong and is fixed now if you go back to the page.
We've done a new image for the same /cp values.

EDIT: https://www.lfs.net/static/screenshots/ast201810/-40092390%20-420737%20915489%20828%20419%200.0%2040.0.jpg

Soon we will request you some videos showing the tracks updated being driven, like the one with the FOX on Rockingham that the circuit is showing on their website

WOW !!!

It is ... a complete new track, isn't it ?

Awsome guys !!

WTH ??? 1 month without update in the progress reports ???

[/jk]


I admit to lurk around multiple times per day

A small issue with HLVC on karting national : the driver is not "out of bounds" if he starts the lap in the "pits". It allows to gain a non negligible speed advantage ...
Replay attached to show the thing.

Wow !!! Very nice

Seeing what is currently developed for LFS, I do not understand why people are willing to have potential new moaners quickly. I understand the dev team willing to focus on what they want LFS to come before being requested to answer hundreds of people why there is not Spa included or whatever . I do not speak about people requesting refund directly to post bs on the product because the XF GTi is not a real car ^^ .
On a "money money" side, of course Steam will allow a better advertising and so will bring more people (Piboso (GP Bikes, etc ...) was talking about double of users after Steam) and more income, players ... But better to be ready facing newcomer requests as it is more people to handle in the end !
Currently, it is wise to assume that Scawen and Eric are dedicated to bring LFS to very high and nice level, ... and it takes time ! So let's suppose they will keep the classic way for some moments.
But in then end, it will remain their choice !

great

my iiyama is quite good, at least it is the best screen I have to deal with, so I plan to keep it ! This just about the feature I was supposing I should have ... and that is not the case

Quote from LakynVonLegendaus :

...
According to last page in manual, I'm afraid it's same case with your monitor.

indeed ! It is not written when you buy it

Quote from Forbin :

Are you sure that is the correct monitor driver? The monitor model you list and the one in the screenshot are different.

Also, the user manual LakynVonLegendaus linked shows:

Supported max. resolution
VGA: 1920 x 1080 60Hz
DVI: 1920 x 1080 60Hz
HDMI: 1920 x 1080 60Hz

Yes, this is true. I corrected the drivers (I would have sweared I have looked for the correct model, but ended with a wrong one :S ... my bad, should have read after installing), but of course the result is the same.

Quote from Forbin :

If you want to buy a monitor with a higher refresh rate, you have options:

I got mine for 160€ ... I do not plan to invest more , but thanks for the links !
Anyway I am quite satisfied with it, no problem, but I was just willing to see if there are some noticeable differences or not when using 75Hz ... and so I am quite disappointed to not be able to do it like I wish I could :/

Thank you guys

Hello folks,
I would need some helps, as I guess I am becoming a bit old to catch everything ...
I will describe briefly my configuration, and I hope someone can explain me how is supposed to work the refresh rate at 75Hz on my damned screen.
So first of all, I have for my computer the following stuffs :
- win10 64b
- Geforce GTX 1070
- Monitor iiyama 25" ProLite XU2590HS-B1
I suppose the rest is useless to explain ... but I have nothing to hide if needed.

I remember having read max vertical frequency 75Hz for the monitor.

Suddenly (1 year and half after having bought it), I noticed that games I ran were only proposing me display modes with 60Hz ...

So ... where is this damned 75Hz ???

I then began to read on internet wtf was going one : hopefully I was not alone.

1- it seems we must install the screen, and not get the PnP one of Windows, done, but not sufficient.
2- it seems the use of a Display Port is mandatory : HDMI would not allow 75Hz to be available. I was doubtful, but anyway I bought a cable HDMI (screen is having only HDMI or VGA) to Display Port (8€) for ... the SAME RESULT ??

But by digging a little, I found Windows proposing me 75Hz, but with a "low" resolution (1440*900) ... what the hell is that ? is the graph board not able to handle the thing ? or the monitor ? should not the vendor explaining the max resolution for 75Hz if it is the case ?

If you have some ideas/explanations : you are welcome !

enjoy Aston, Kyoto and the the brilliant Westhill

spend 12£ more => you will not regret

it is close that we see water :

Quote from Flotch :

only the palm trees iirc

I edit my comment : just tested the LX8 version of LFS, and Fern Bay has evoluated a bit more than just the palm trees ... clearly
But seeing what Eric has done on Blackwood and Rockingham ... Fern Bay 2.0 will be great

Quote from three_jump :

...
Btw, did Fern Bay ever get an update? I feel like is hasn't changed since S1.

only the palm trees iirc

Quote from lucaf :

Great stuff. Can't wait shoots from South City <33333

try to imagine Fern Bay ...

Thanks @Degats
It is so much better !! GJ !!!

edit : the shadows in the T1 of Blackwood are just so nice onto the last pic
Can't wait to see this for real on my computer

Quote from Scawen :

I think the sausage kerbs were added after our first visit to Rockingham and the laser scanning.
https://youtu.be/hP9tIAsMBKQ?t=828

Ok, thanks.
Interesting video btw.
When it reaches the output of Gracelands corner, he says like "in uk rule we should not go into the green section" (after 21min20s)... It could be an hotlapping rule ...

very great
Seems the real Rockingham is not having the sausage kerbs nor sometimes the green area to save your ass. What is the reason to add them ? avoid cutting (sausage : pic 2 ) ? was it too "race killing" without the green area : pic 6 (but it makes you going quicker) ?

time will tell, as for separating physics and graphics ...
But having a global delivery would be awsome ^^
Good luck guys !
NB : hope the rain is planned and implementable in the future . As seeing how beautiful are the sun reflection on Blackwood's roads snapshots, I just dream of the same with rain ^^

Quote from Scawen :

For a while, we would like to release a few more pictures each month.

It may be that we show one track in each monthly report.

And sometimes a little more information to go with the pictures.

approoved
would you be kind to share some hints for the next track to be shown ?

addendum : just try the "storm" (heavy heavy rain), it is very fun Awful to put the pedal to the metal Very nice !!! Maybe a bit too icy, but fun !
edit : made a test with medium rain : it's very nice ^^ . Storm is full of water and the tires are not going well into water

Quote from PeterN :

Quit the game just to change car or track?
Quit the game just to change controller bindings?
Quit the game just to change graphics settings?

That's massively annoying when you're used to LFS.

yes, that is crazy ! Total fail on this aspect !
Graphics are quite nice (environment is very eye candy with plenty of mooving stuffs that is pretty nice), but the road surface is looking ... not so great imo... Sounds are pretty nice to hear (like braking even it feels a bit not as natural as RL).
Handling ... I do not know. Some aspects are nice, some are still very disturbing (like you can loose the control of the car and spin it at 15kmph, if you go offroad the car is slowing down gently ...)
50-50 for me ...
