Well, remember that in the Pre-S1 days.. there was no LFS account, you joined servers just non-chalant with whatever nickname. It wasn't until S1 was released that we all started to have an LFS account.

This forum was created in 2004/2005. There was no way for any of us to have joined before its creation.

The join date that is listed is the date that one created their LFS account, either for the purchase of S1 or just because they wanted a specific username.

Hmm not correct. As my join date here is Jan 2003. I just checked my LFS account, and it says I paid for S1 on 29th May 2003 and this was before the release. This forum was created in 2003, hence why we all have a join date.

Check here http://www.lfs.net/?page=oldernews and scroll to the bottom, Sep 2002, so I was 1 year out on my "find" date, 2002 is when I found it and joined RSC. New website (Jan. 8th, 2003 15:05) and Forum was released at the same time.

thur, jul. 17th, 2003 23.45
S1 is out! - Offical news S1 was released for download

So as you can see, the dates don't tally up when you needed a S1 account and joined the forum.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Fordman, the Join Date here is synchronized to whenever you created your LFS account (so likely when S1 was about to be released).

Hi Dawes, no it's not mate. It is the date you joined this Forum, it is not linked to LFS the Sim in any way.

LFS was operating from RSC for a good 2-3yrs before it moved to it's own dedicated forum. My actual join date that I first started racing LFS was 22nd September 2001. I know sad that I remember this date

Quote from DHRammstein :

Anyway, why is it such an issue, and why is it so hard to believe, some of us are old, older... and have been around a very long time on the pc sim scene
We old farts are just more patient I guess?

Well Said DHRammstein LOL

Sir Fordie, you mentioned that you've been around for decades. A decade is ten years. Not sure if mistyped or something..

Nope MousemanLV...I Found LFS in 2001/2002 I think, and my join date here is 2003, so now in 2013, so that's 10yrs just on here, but LFS was going strong way before, in RaceSimCentral forums.

So no, not a typo.

There is plenty of us around, that have been here a decade, and still are, not just me.

Like my avatar says, I am not a tourist...I live here LOL

Fordie

Sorry for the delay, I will get it up asap

If anybody is interested, I can bring the server up tonight, in about 30mins

Regarding the OP....I agree with what you say, a simple update is nothing, no matter how small it is or big, just something, as "its done when its done" is getting tired now.

And before you get the "oh here come's the oldies whinging again" posters we are not, we are purely asking for a little, if so little progress report. Scawen and co must know how much progress they have made and when it will be approx finished, if not, then there is no project management going on. Done when its done does not work in any project or company I have ever worked for, no matter what problems are thrown at you.

We, as a community don't need to know the added content, what we can expect in S3, but just that is getting closer would be nice.

Again, like most, I have been here decades, and still here, doing different things, trying to keep it fun and interesting but something from the devs would be great.

Even if they said "we are planning on a October release" for example and them have to put it back due to unforeseen problems, at least we know...they are fixing them before a final release.

Fordie

No that was "fun" with a capital F. Everybody was on the same level, no alien drivers and no ridiculous times, was just great pure close racing

Will have to do it again sometime

Fordie

Server is now working and open

Yes Gav (p1lot) I can see yours

hmm wonder why ?

Added ports on Firewall, just in case, can you now?

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

Can't connect.
Did you open the necessary ports?

Yeah, all open, I think. I have hosted S2 server's no problems?

Depends if you have a good setup

Hi Guys,

For a giggle I have brought up this old skool server. You will need to activate your S1 account

You can get the file here

You can get setups here

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Fordman: Speaking as a backer of Project CARS.. if you're anticipating anything more than just an eye candy Semi-Sim, you will be greatly disappointed. I also got sucked into backing by people here who were like "omg good physics", but when trying it... It just isn't there. It may look pretty (albeit about as performant as a 2 legged horse when turned to medium, which my PC should handle fine), but it certainly isn't very good for physics like people want it to be.

Hi Dawes,

if I wanted eye candy, I would of joined the NFS crew LOL. I am just generally interested in anything new in the sim world, whether it's ready or not. I mean hell, LFS still isn't ready, polished and complete, I am still here

Quote from Born2BSlow :

Sorry, I couldn't help myself...apologies if it offends anyone.

^^^ fixed to make it less offensive, I'm such a softy lol

Quote from Born2BSlow :

Oh and now the physics testing is getting more focus, Team Members and above will be getting daily updates too...normally only available to Senior Managers. They did this when MP was released to increase the rate at which bugs were found to get more stability more quickly. So everyone who left because they didn't like the handling....well sucks boo to you lol see you in year or so.

I know I know you saying..........



But....I am used to waiting...see I am still here just changed a little bit

Quote from FPVaaron :

Because it's against the rules to ask for update progress now. You have to sit in a dark corner and keep your thoughts to your self.

HA HA

Quote from Bob Smith :

I still have my 0.3 setups lying around, waiting for me to give them a spin again. Like Doyal, I was probably never fast enough to be accepted, though I never asked. I just remember trying to keep up on public servers. Ah, those were the days...

I had a PM from GavD999 suggested bringing up the old S1 server, the version Scawen made compatible with the version we are using now.

Post those setups Bob, and I will get a server up and running.

Old Physics....OMG

Quote from Bean0 :

Yup, those vids are made by a community member called JonZ using the builds available to all members.

I heard Bean0...now playing catchup and how did I miss this

Oh well, like most things in life, just need to sit and wait

I have just been told by somebody that is heavily involved in this game, these videos are "all in game footage"

:jawdrop: :woohoo:

Cheers Go4

Well here is my new ride. Company Car, and thought it would give you a giggle, being Fordman and driving this...Must say, its lovely to drive, and goes

Quote from bishtop :

hi fordman

quick question - is it a typo where you say you s3 back then or was an actual option to prepay for it available sometime.
i only ask as i wasnt around when it was first meant to released

thanks

hi Bishtop. Yeah, when S2 came out, you had the option, as you do now to put money aside for when the next release comes out, so you don't have to dig around for your Credit Card, or wait for pay day, as it was only speculation that each installment would be £12 each (S1 and S2 was), so I had the spare cash then, so I pre-paid/put money towards S3.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Pppppfff this whining of 'oldies' really gets exhausting.

There is an official release of a dedi server option. Deal with it, don't like it? Go somewhere else. End of story.

Lower your expectations to no expectations and it can only can get better. Simple rule.

Excuse Me If you actually take your very precious time to read my post.....fully, it was actually a question, not a moan, and dawesdust_12 kindly answered it, in a proper constructive manner, thank you Dawes, appreciate it.

My expectations are non existent on here, always have been and always will be.

I would suggest you take a look at your expectations, on an open forum and the freedom of speech, and the right to ask a question. If you lower yours, you might not come back with inept statements...end of story
