So, next update : points 1 and 2.
And the one after ...

Good news !
Glad for you !

. I understand, since I am 16 and did a nice crash going downhill, I am no more able to drive a bike downhill ... too scary (even my daughters are doing me crazy when they go quick), so seeing those guys doing this is a real pleasure as a spectator . Mountain biking seems an excellent hobby
I compensate with my c63 amg, it is going quick whatever the slope of the road is, and I am not afraid thanks to LFS to have teach me how to drive

Quote from Flotch :

...I will take some pictures when I will find the camera.

I forgot to do it, so while I am on vacations in Aussois doing some hiking with family (search for marmots !!), there was a mountain biking contest near where we rent a flat. It was not that hot this morning, add being a spectator, the long sleeves were a good choice
No 'Scawen Roberts' inside, but I share aswell some pictures of those frenzy guys

NB : car speaking, the roads in the Alps are just excellent !

same here, I check everyday ... who knows ? maybe something great is happening, and I would not want to miss it for even some days

Quote from PlSTOL :

Hi, I recently installed this game, All circuits have inverse mode but Rockingham which has only 1 side to go, is it ok or is it a bug? why does this circuit only have 1 side to go?

It is supposed to be driven only in one way irl, and so the kerbs/barriers are not adapted to reverse driving.

edit :

Quote from Scawen :

I don't really know what you mean by a licensing thing. I suppose you imagine we wanted to do it, asked Rockingham and they denied it. But no such conversation took place! It's simply that we don't want to add unrealistic things if possible. Reverse configs at real tracks are often dangerous because of the design of the barriers. Using the recently added start positions, we think you can simply use a layout to create reverse configurations.

indeed, the reaction is ...


anyway, the game/sim is so much popular (for the target it should have) and bring to the guys doing it so much money, that it may let them think they are a bit above God
... and I tend to have the same feeling than the guy describing the stuff , something is wrong when applying brake gently in a corner

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Finally someone 'gets' how a track should look like on a bright sunny day

I have taken the track (Circuit Paul Ricard), and it is indeed very very nice ! Never drove on the real track to make a comparison, but seeing the lines to take on onboard videos over internet, and seeing you have to do the same in AC makes the experience very pleasant ! Top work from the people who did this

sweet memories ...

I have personnaly chosen the 430 scuderia ... was hesitating with the F12 tdf and the F50 ... Road cars FTW

Quote from Scawen :

...
Eric has been working on one of his new tracks ... which we hope to release in an update in the not too distant future.

=> time for screenshots

Godd luck guys, we are ready

That is a nice review ! Glad to see article like this about LFS , hope Scavier's motivation goes even upper

it is like having reverse gear on a motorbike ... weird isn't it

Happy Birthday Man !!

impressive skills ! Braking with left or right foot according to the need of downshift is a pleasure to watch ! Very GJ to the driver ^^

Quote from Ped7g :

If you plan to send some amazing Brazilian girls toward him, please consider also me, I desperately need hug too.

be careful, some are looking very nice, but are not girls

Quote from Hakseli90 :

4. You could have at least redirected him to the LFS shop instead of being rude to him.

he did yesterday already in the other thread created by our brazilian colleague :

ScaryWtich probably mean a "made by a 5yo boy".

Anyway, I can understand the feeling you may have ScaryWtich, but there is a simple thing : you do not make peace with your friends, only your ennemies.
Scavier are doing a correct move I think, as per today's world, it is not in the hands of a very small company to remove all crackers all over the earth.
For having beeing insulted by Victor, give us a proof with the context

Quote from Scawen :

I was wondering if the LFS World windows could be something like tabs on this site. Perhaps so you could have a few open at time in different tabs, remembering their own state, without the need to use browser tabs.

We are used to be surprised by Victor . Indeed it is a very good idea.
And Victor, while you will be at it, do not forget to add a filtering by car class aswell for the hotlap chart, not only cars (I mean for example seeing XFR/UFR hotlaps mixed, and having the raf viewer available directly for those cars)

Quote from RC-Maus :

I think newer desktops still look the same .... and I think lfsw very handy and usefull.

Only need easier access I mean I don't know how to come to lfsw from lfs.net

click here :

nothing very explicit, but I guess :

Quote from Scawen :

...
It was done for the rear wheel drive cars with macpherson strut suspension on the front, actually using a few lines of code from the new tyre physics version.
...

edit :

I found the Audi a bit strange. Maybe that is because I was expecting a rally stage , and Highlands is very very wide and you can reach very very high speed ... not so "rally". Anyway, I am having lots of fun on it. For those who did not yet tried, it is an awsome "road track" ! I have uploaded some videos showing the 4 configurations :





I like how it is done. I hope we can have such things in LFS one day

Real cars bring the advantage to have something concrete to compare (about performances, display, sounds, etc ... ), and have some epic drives. For example, run AC with some supercars AI, and clearly having Porsche's, Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and whatever else it proposes going mad on tracks is a total beauty (ok, there are much stuffs not so good in AC of course).
But on the principle, I agree, I do not care about having licensed contents. Having a good physics on the other hand is a must, and LFS ones has some very bad flaws in it, that makes the drive not so pleasant as it could (will) be.

Quote from Sobis :

I just wondered Scawen, how different does dirt feel in the new tyre physics? I'm not asking for details, I'm just wondering is the change in dirt driving similar to the change on asphalt? I remember Eric using the word "visceral feel", can the same be applied to dirt?

Something close to RBR for dirt

There is a nice free surprise : a fictionnal "track/road" + Audi S1 quattro, rallye car with 540bhp

In mutiplayer, it is not needed to compute the physics of other cars : the computer of the other player is already doing it. The positions have to be known in a fair amount of time to display the cars in the correct places for you. So 100Hz, 1000Hz, or 10kHz, no matter.
