You have written this some what professionally however due to the fact you are a demo racer I am unable to take you seriously.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The difference is that Second Life is only for furries and paedophiles, but anyone is allowed play Minecraft.

That is true.

Quote from Vultureke :

Can't you read? I say I don't want to be forced, so I hope we can still buy via the website.
The devs wanted to be independent, well they are now and it works just fine.

Djees....

So that big "NO" you previously stated was based on a misinformed assumption?

Quote from E.Reiljans :

Obviously 90% of people here found out about Steam only after Modern Campfare 2 was released as Steam-exclusive title.

I remember when Steam was known among friends as counter-strike 1.6, when you tried to Google search it and got a website with trains.

Quote from Vultureke :

I voted NO.
Im 100% with Psysim and Deejayyaj: I pay for LFS, I want to install LFS and LFS alone, no forced 3rd party application to install that runs in the background. By the way: you will be able to count the endless threads about "Problems with Steam".
At the moment LFS is a small and clean application that does the things right (updates, friendslist,...).
This is a good way to attract more users? Yes, but there are also other ways to make publicity.

Nice job on reading 50% of thread mate.

Quote from SpeedyED :

I was wondering dumb founded with that question until I joined the forums, after that all my problems where solved!

Anyway, join the forums, look for the Foxy Boxing forums, and enter your interest in the next round of FOX racing at Blackwood, on the day of the race, you will receive an email notifying you of the password for the night, along with other details for the race.

Cheers, I made an account.

Well said.

How do I join?? Host is private.

Thank you tibone

If you are reasonably skilled at photoshop and would like to do this job please read on.


Ok, so I have created a team and my first priority is to get skins done before the website.

I will pay 20 euro via PayPal to the person who successfully and professionally provides the logos.

The team is called Seismic-Impact what I want made is a few logo's in a CS 2 format that I can easily paste onto and re size onto each skin in photo shop.

All of the cars will either be black or a very dark color so all logo's will need to have the appropriate colors to stand out enough to be recognized from the base paint.



Logo one : The first logo I want made is SEISMIC-IMPACT designed in a powerful destructive like theme similar to this with transparent clouds surrounding the text, and with a bit less fire.
The logo will go diagonally across the hood or side of the car


Logo two: The second logo I want made is www.Seismic-Impact.com this logo is to be more subtle with a cracked earth quake or aftermath theme to it.
This logo will go across the side skirt or rear bumper of the car.



Logo Three: The third logo I want made is S-I or S I inside emblem for placement on quarter panel or offset on bumper bar.

This logo will be inside a shield similar to this except with subtle cracks or something with a more destructive/aggressive nature coming out from behind the shield.





All Logos are to be done in upper-case


Please submit your applications and previous work through PM or my Msn found under my Avatar

Right, so far the majority of the no voters have supplied this thread with holed logic and trolling. How exactly will Steam bring an immature crowed?

Quote from logitekg25 :

offline for the first year.

EDIT: but i just realized my response honestly doesnt work, cause that was my specific rare case. so what about the demo crashers, unless there will be no demo on steam? Perhaps there will be the people who want to race, but think they are the stig immediately and crash every t1 they can get at, but not on purpose. this will happen alot more then currently if we put it on steam..

Demo is always a crash fest regardless of where the people found the game.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

You don't find sim racers from communities like steam.

What exactly have you based this statement on? there are over 1200 games already on Steam, 211 of those in the Simulation category AND there is more than 30,000,000 active users, that is more than the population of most countries, to suggest that this many people can be classified as one community is ridiculous.

Steam is a virtual store with all kinds of games just like your local game shop, it is not the underage night club you seem to think it is.

Each game just like every where else has it's own community and it attracts a certain type of gamer.

Quote from lemming77 :

Very mature. I've got 4GB and a 64 bit operating system. And I'm often getting warnings about running out of memory from Windows. Keeping background processes to a minimum is never a bad idea, especially if you're playing games.

Well you may want to run a virus scan as my LFS computer only has 1gb + 2gb on the graphics card, I already run LFS through steam and I get a consistent 200fps with loads of memory to spare.

Quote from Psysim :

Steam is ok if your someone who does not feel that minimum is maximum.

Or if you have a PC with more than 256mb of ram.

Quote from dadge :

if someone is going to be a pain in the ass, it doesn't really matter how they buy LFS. the current wreckers and hackers should be enough to show you that.

This


More people = more wreckers it's just the way it works. if any of you have actually played games on steam it is not all that bad! They sell flight simulator on Steam and every time I have logged into that I don't see anyone tying to do barrel rolls in a 747 or smashing into New York City.

Most of the counter-strike kids have absolutely no interest in cars and it is highly unlikely that that will buy LFS, however for the people that do have an interest in driving simulators Steam will make LFS more known and available to them.


As I said previously if you are the owner of a server and do not want noobs in there crashing people, then put an experience cap on it or a safety cap similar to what Cargame.nl uses.

Did a little test today on the drag times of each LFS car, thought it was interesting.

All times were driven with hard track or default setup manual clutch and H-pattern shift (except for race cars)

Quote from Inouva :

Yes since dev say several times that more money wont speed up the patch nor s3 or whatever

Motivation does not necessarily mean speed.

Quote from Psysim :

I actually agree, money and motiation are two different things, I think LFS would be spoilt if invaded by steam users. I think lfs has more important things to do, getting on steam to me would be as bad as selling out to a large game company. The independance of LFS is part of what makes it so good.

I see where you are coming from.
I would also not want to see LFS get spoilt, though you must agree something has to be done to bring people back to the game and that won't happen without S3 or some kind of advertising scheme.

Quote from Inouva :

You are the idiot saying "More money more motivation to dev the game"

Idiotic to suggest that having a high increase of profit in your business would be motivation?

Quote from dadge :

technically that's gay.

Not if you use your own nipples.

Quote from Inouva :

It was stated many many times BY THE SCAVIER TEAM, that more €€€€ incoming wouldn't speed up the the developer of LFS nor the patchs

SO, NO TO STEAM, also i think scawen say he never gona put lfs on steam

It's like you have a vendetta against me which i can only assume is a severe case of sexual desire to sleep with me. you never seem to read more than 10% of any of my posts without quoting me in some aggressive nature.

Gran Turismo 5
Battlefield Bad Company 2

I'm not on white list any more?? I have built a big house and massive mine..
