come on ! don't you see what is called the red tarmac on the initial screenshot ? 
Agree.
I would say S3 is lacking of 2 track environments and 8-10 cars to match previous relases contents. Without the graphical updates, it would have looked quite old compared to current sims ... and do not forget that LFS is also famous for its VR implementation, outdated graphics is not so pleasant when in VR I suppose. I do not think it is reaching the end for the moment : having the new lighting system that seems to smell night racing in the future, or how water on the track will be displayed at Rockingham in the coming patch, this gives the feeling that the best is to come.
Do not forget the damned tire physics update (which shall not embed wet physics ... for the moment) which is probably to come for real around this massive update
! And this is the reason why the team was no more delivering new cars !
Keep faith ! The lights are green and engines warmed !

November’s progress report will be epic as the other 3 ; December’s one will certainly be totally mad
I suspect Scawen to progress well on tire physics discretly : everyone is focused on Eric’s brilliant job and maybe the graphical part is doing exactly what they want it to do currently, leaving Eric able to do everything perfect without Scawen implementing new things
speculations...
in short, wait and see

depends on how far the 5 remaining environments are from Eric’s wishes ☺
Let’s wait for a progress report about autocross environment before requesting things about 
!
I suppose everyone agrees that Eric is doing a very brilliant job updating those tracks from 10 years ago, and lots of people seem to request to have the same thing as before ^^ , weird isn’t it ? .
Even if ofc doing a big layout is a massive work, having the tracks in LFS at a high level of details with some nice lines to take to race on is imo the most important thing for everyone (current community, newcomers, devs) : rework of layouts shall be to consider directly, they will be held on a new area afterall.
Btw good find on the drag strip, inded it seems to end in an uphill area. It will help to stop heavy fat cars to come in the future !

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

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
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 !!

HLVC ok while cutting the pits : Westhill karting national (WE5)
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.

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 !

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 
indeed !
It is not written when you buy it 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.
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
The mythical 75Hz ...
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 !

it is close that we see water :

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
only the palm trees iirc
try to imagine Fern Bay ...
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 ...
