Far more probable as per Scawen's posts that there will be the graphical update first (alone), then the tire physics will be in the plan.

indeed it is a kind of headache, so I took a bit different approach :
- the length is quite short, so there is no particular wear of the tires to take into account, only heat => optimizing camber to have something homogenous is then not required, it is better to overheat a bit the inside part of the tire.
- R2 or R3 are clearly a bit difficult to keep on a correct temperature after 15 laps, so I have chosen R4 in the end (even mixing was not giving good result as cooking the rear tire is not a good idea neither)
- I give a look to the two setups you shared and they are quite stable Thumbs up , and so they tend to be not that good with the front tires Shrug

I have attached a replay of me doing 40 laps (~half race) with the setup. After the front tire is going a bit hot indeed I am forced to loose ~1s per lap. But you can expect doing sub 16s for around 15 laps and then release a bit the thing around 16s for 10 more laps, and then target 16,5s-17s for the rest of the run.

can you give the setup and the track (layout ? ) ?
I would be interested to have a look at this before stating anything Wink

do not consider the week working days, it is so much reserved for "standard companies" working only from Monday afternoon to Friday morning Big grin

this is simply because most of the people are interested only in driving a very fast car and see the top speed on a straight line Big grin
Doing a racing game featuring Dacia Sandero with 1.5dci and have the sportiest car a Laguna 1.9dci is not going to have plenty of people interested Big grin Big grin
Only the true simracers will know how pleasant it is to take an XF GTi or XR GT around a WestHill reverse configuration Big grin Thumbs up

Big grin 300km is already quite huge, with very different environments. (a note when there is the sequence with Palm trees at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck_kWIiyKy0#t=16s the Porsche is looking awsome but the trees, road, ... let's say the general environment is not looking that good ... that is a subjective point of view)

I guess it is not simulation related, but anyway it looks like very sweet !

The cars are beautiful Thumbs up

I read 3000km of roads ? wow ... that is some job to do !!

great, I was pretty sure some easy ways are available.
Thanks for confirming Thumbs up

When you get there : https://www.lfs.net/shop/licenseselect
aren't you able to buy specifically a licence ? (in my case everything is paid, so I do not know for you Wink )

Quote from BaronX :Hey, so I bought S1 already, would it be possible to buy S3 for 24$? I'm torn, I don't want to waste the 12$ I already spent on S1 - anyone know?

yes, if you pay 24£ you will be able to buy S2 and S3 as you are an S1 owner.

I'm still interested because it is brilliant, thanks to people involved in doing great things, and not giving up !
So, thank you Wink Thumbs up
And as you suggest, do not hesitate to go onto some progress report thread existing, or create your own, to share whatever you feel interesting ^^

There is a big change in the next Kunos product : AC was not to get rain because it is too dangerous to drive on it and could make you loose a race suddenly, while in ACC they can implement it because it is nice and cool !!!
Quote from Scawen :... But what's the point in that? So I could wear a fancy watch or clothes with logos on them so other people would be impressed? ...

The point would be to buy a bike with an hidden engine in the wheels that make you go quicker with less effort compared to your competitors Rofl

Of course it would be awsome, but doing trailers and other media stuffs are time consumming ... so it is more difficult for the few people doing LFS to do these ...

Forgive my ignorance, but simply deactivating shadows would not be sufficient if it is a something gpu/cpu consumming ? (assuming texture resolution is an option)

did not succeed aswell Frown . Even tried with internet exlorer, ctrl+F5 ...

Indeed it is a good thing, you hopefully do not photshop the thing like so many other game companies do !
NB : hope the new track Eric was/is working on could be part of the screenshots Wink

Quote from Scawen :We look forward to showing you some screenshots in August.

no problem, we will still be there lurking around Tongue
Glad for you the things are going well with new ideas and challenges ! Freshing up some tracks sounds very promising !
Quote from mbutcher :...But that said, changing any of the other track layouts too drastically now might not be smart because they are considered 'classic' tracks to many people....

For me classics are meant to be changed : no problem with this Big grin
Let's imagine Fern Bay and Kyoto a bit more designed for some corners, it would not hurt !

Quote from Scawen :...
A couple of weeks after the release of this full version, we plan to show some images of the new track updates Eric has been working on using the new graphics system which supports specular lighting and a new shadow system.

We are in the timeframe ! let the speculation begins !!! Will we have some images of a new track (Ya right) or updated old tracks ? (I would feel painful for Eric if he had to update manually hundreds of objects on 'old' tracks ... not that I think he would have 'Westhilled' the 4 remaining tracks anyway) or if we can see some Blackwood updates (there some crazy straights not available directly in the open config mode) ...
