The request to include the Nordschleife in LFS as been discussed a lot. And knowing the end result and quality LFS devs have shown to us since the begining, I have always stated that if they want to include the famous track inside I would pay them for doing such accomplishment !
I hope too that the 2 other tracks Eric is building are containing at least a pure gravel track 
An ice track (Trophée Andros) would be a great addition too.
Add to this rain and snow (why not ?
), and then I am sure it can be open to modding after LFS team has added like 10 more cars for S3.
... this sounds like lots of work, but no-one knows how advanced the game is already in the hands of the Team ^^
I am not too convinced the Team should make the police on modded content : this is work to be done, and everybody will agree that it has not to be done for free. Would you like to pay for an approved stamp on a converted content maintained or not by the author/converter ? I am not sure I would.
On the other hand, I am not against DLC, like Sx stages are currently. So if the Team is willing to create an S4 stage in the future, like it was initially planned, count me in.
NB : I already stated that I am ready to pay 1k€ for a laser-scanned Nordschleife in LFS

One word : brilliant !
GJ guys !
GJ guys !
pretty nice !!!!
I thought I would have to face the sun during the laps
. Rockingham is seriously beautiful ! GJ guys !

I am curious about this sunset weather

Begin the hl process by the end of next week , there will not be any major issue then 
, there will not be any major issue then I thought I was doing wrong
, glad to see it is a kind of enormous bug I noticed some framerate drop quite disturbing in the stage ... according to
it looks like this is not linked to demo only ^^
The article is most probably right BTW.
too bad it is not the awaited "RBR 2016" ... with all the models included (I suppose the budget is quite huge ...), it could have been top level by very far !
Still hope Scawen and Eric will include or allow some rallye stages with properly modelised rallycars of the 70s - 80s in the future !!!
I know, but being a fan of LFS and in a slightly less tiny margin of RBR and AC (I love them anyway), I am certainly not objective when talking about physics ... but clearly, I fear I will not be a fan of SLR !
I forget to mention the price and the DLC associated ... I am not gonna buy

After few testing :
- menu where only arrows are there to navigate : wtf ??? Did Emmett Brown take them for a ride with a DeLeroan ? RBR was clearly driving me crazy with this ... here, I have no words !
- graphics are quite nice, there is maybe better, but at least it is enough beautiful to have some good moment looking at the scenery
- configuring the wheel was really pain in the a$$
- the general idea for the cars and mode : brilliant. There are Rallye stages, rallycross courses, Pikes Peak (I would have prefer Hill Climb, and then include Pikes Peak). My dream combo based on Group B and older cars to create a simulation around them. And if I understand correctly there are present, aswell as some more recent rallye cars (wich is clearly nice).
- The demo is composed of a modern VW WRC car, a Peugeot 208 S2000 (I guess, not tested) (edit : in fact it is a R5 : 1.6L turbo limited to 280hp) and an old Mini with 95hp. the stage is 5.9km on MonteCarlo with iced asphalt, having lots of changes in textures for the road and scenery : quite nice.
- physics / handling : almost awful ...

Downloading the demo ... 4.7Go ... omg ^^ I will maybe see it during the weekend ... not tonight
if it is the case, it is going to be awsome
Honestly, I fear it will be very very far from RBR
Let's see before judging

it is not the case (I have a wife and two daughters, I do not request "attention" from mum
). It was simply a small joke on the engineering process done by Scawen when he sees something : he never stops. And this is in my opinion a quality, and this can be seen in LFS ; developpers are willing to do the job correctly, not releasing quickly something to proove they can do it on time as requested by the marketing !Not at all a request to have you doing tyre physics "right now", Scawen
To not continue off topic comments, in HL mode there is now the "out of bounds" for hlvc. I tested briefly in Single player mode (supposing the same will happen in multiplayer), and of course hlvc is not to be checked there, but can't a time penalty like entering too fast in the pits be applied ? or a pit stop required ... I do not know if it is complex to implement, a too high constraint for players in multi, etc ... but taking properly a chicane and having the guy 3s behind earning 1s by cutting frenzy without warning is something frustating I guess.
He is unstoppable ... Do not fear the dark side of the tire physics coding, embrace it, it is calling you
Rockingham/AI related remark (very minor), I have made some AIs to race, and saw that the parking in the pits when the race is ended is a bit difficult for them. FZR ones are keen to destroy the rear tires by engaging frankly the reverse gear (and it does not make them parking better after )

interesting ...
BTW, they have annouced with the upcoming release for console the Ferrari FXX K and the Ferrari 488 GTB.
you are right, Scawen alreday stated that some letters will not be used to avoid some kind of confusion between versions naming.
planning to add some more stuffs inside ^^ ? Feel free
Now you see why many people are buying the game without worrying about anything : the game developpers of LFS are indeed doing the job properly !
Happy 0.6L release today if it is the plan
same here. There is not the "challenge" you may expect from a rocket car like this (even if 'just' driving a F1 is not necessarily "complex" ... being fast is another story )
)not seduced ... handling is very strange ... I tried quickly I have to admit.
Graphics and sound are a bit ... not so nice

GPBikes is a must ! It has some flaws, of course, but clearly a simulation really enjoyable. But if Scawen is willing to compete with, no issue ! I am pretty sure LFS would rock !
Note that some proper bike for rallycross tracks should be included then

GTR cars are still allowed to. Is it normal ? I thought this kind of car were not having a usable handbrake.
this sounds good. While the opposite is still allowed (I mean, switching off the TC even if it is on in the setting ... as implemented currently)
and you cannot do Alien makeout with a mountain bike. Different priorities
You may introduce a minimum time to engage the clutch in aim to be able to change the gear. Instant gear change is not so possible in real life.
But yes, it seems wise to not loose time to delete hotlpas with this before you will naturally delete all hotlaps for the awaited new tire physics ^^

addendum :
Instead of using autoclutch, you press a buton to simulate the clutch. As it is quicker, you have almost no speed loss when changing gear. So the advantages given to manual clutch user (I mean using a pedal) is there anhilated by people pressing a buton / or having a macro pressing the clutch when engaging the gear for example. The advantage is quite unfair for people really using a pedal.
example on an old hotlap I did on South City Sprint 1 with the UFR :
http://www.lfsworld.net/rafa/?raf1=Emyn_SO2_UFR_049840&raf2=Flotch_SO2_UFR_049970
other faster guys are using bc thing, on the rafa comparison you can see that on the straight he is changing gear quicker than me, spending less time on it, having a higher top speed. I do think he is using the same kind of setup than mine ... so this is not the pressure in the tires that is making him quicker.
More vicious people are using a macro to simulate an axis when changing gear, resulting in instant gear change
Forgive me if I am wrong, but if the guy is using the left foot for clutch, and right foot for braking and accelerating he is quite good :
