Just send him a smiley face every time he says something, he'l eventually feel gay and stop following you
S3ANPukekoh3, you should stop there before you embarrass your self any further.
As far as I know the hand brake in LFS can only be used as a button. So even if you had a analog leaver it would only engage and disengage the hand brake. Not having any in between.
The main problem...
It's not the massive timeline that no one expected on the release of S3. It's that, no one seems to know wtf is going on. It doesn't take a lot to look at the news updates from S1 to S2 and realize there was a constant sense of communication between devs and players. However that's no longer the case.
Months and months go by with every one slowly slowly losing interest. How hard is it, to drop in once every week or two and just let the community know what progress was made. It doesn't have to be screen shots or gameplay video.
I feel like I've said this so many times already.

Hi speed, I joined around the same time as you back a bit over 9 years ago. When I was 14. Now 24 and where to even begin on how much has changed. to cut a long story short I've come from a teenage kid never going to school to play video games and failing every year level dropping out of school. Now 10 years later I've got a solid career. Still a big passion for cars and video games. Own a house with a dedicated gaming room lol.
Yet I still come here. at least twice a month waiting for a god damn progress report. that's about the only thing that hasn't changed

Just thought I'd drop back into this thread. I've been watching it a lot over the past week and am happy to see it hasn't turned into an argument.
I really hope the Dev's have seen it too.

On a demo server. a few years ago. I got lag bumped. Just a slight brush against my door. My car got lag smashed so hard it went so high it vanished into the air and did not come back down for the entire race. Interior view was just spinning around in the sky. Replay cam just faced the sky as well.
It was such a rare occurrence and I did not save the bloody replay.

Here's a pic of me my GF took last week.
An expression of LFS thought.
I've been a LFS fan for a very long time.
I'm sad, I'm frustrated but most of all I'm just plain curious.
I said to my self I wasn't going to this, but I've been a loyal LFS supporter for almost a decade. Close this if you will which will most likely happen but I kindly and respectfully ask you don't delete it.
So....
Let's jump in our time machine of history and look at the transition from S1 to S2. There was copious amounts of progress reports.
With S3, I guess the best analogy is to take candy from a baby.
S3 is promised. At the same time it's never delivered. Now I understand that it's not something that can be produced overnight. Believe me I do.
But....
How about a little courtesy for the devoted fans. The people who a loyal to the franchise. I love LFS I really do. It's the best racing game of all time and for me it always will be. I ask the Dev's for just a little bit of courtesy for it's fans.
There's nothing on the market that can provide the same form of enjoyment and experience as LFS. Yes. I play iRacing and Rfactor and all that but LFS holds a very special place in my heart.
This thread. It's not a complaint it's a suggestion yet almost a begging. All I ask from the team of Dev's yes I know it's small and yes I respect that. Scawen. I know you worked on B&W and that's one of my all time favorite games too. I wish a 3rd would come. It makes me wonder and it makes a lot of people wonder. What's happening? What's the secret?
I don't care if there's not gameplay footage or screen shots of S3. All I ask is a little more communication for the community of devoted fans. It doesn't take an educated person to look at this and come to the conclusion that this fantastic simulation is shrinking day by day.
Give us something, Be it weekly or monthly. Just don't leave us wondering in the dark. It will give me and I'm sure others a little peace of mind just to let us know that hey... "Today we worked on some more tyre physics it"
I'm sure you see clearly what leaving the community in the dark can do and I know you get frustrated at some of the replied and accusations that come with that. I'm not here to accuse you of wrong doing. Only not to keep us in the dark.
Anyway.
I'll end it here. You get my point.

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.

LMFAO

I remember, being 14, in year 8 at high school, all my mates, I didn't have many so my circle of two other friends were all competing on who was the best at Nitto racing when one day one of them said something about LFS.
Curious, when I got home that night I searched it and downloaded, this is back in the days of S1, before car damage tyre wear etc etc. a year later I convinced my mum to buy me S1, and a year after that S2 when it came out. I even remember the leaked version of S2 with the LX8, I wish I still had it
I played the shit out of it on my Pentium II processor to the point I'd take days off school just to sit home and race.
It wasn't until about 2 years after that when I bought a wheel, a shitty little spring feed back180 degrees bottom range logitech. eventually upgrading to G25, G27 and a full race setup.
I guess my point is, I've grown up with LFS and it's always been the stand out game for me. it kept me entertained through high school, to getting a job, to buying a house, to amusing my self to watching first timers play.
Over the past few years though, I've come to feel sad for it, a bit like a depressed grandpa with dementia. Locked in an old persons home who you some times go and visit in the hope he remembers something from the good old days or just to hang onto something that once was.
I still think about LFS, and I come to these forums twice a month with the small hope that I'll see a thread with the title.
"S3 Alpha nearly here"
I'm really starting to doubt this though.
The Dev's say they don't see the point in announcing their progress, wind the clock back to the time between S1 and S2, there was continues updates and screen shots of what is to come

Can I say.... Every word does not require a capital letter, it does not make you look intelligent.
I don't expect my laptimes to improve much. I am very excited about having a proper setup though.
PC / Race room project
For many moons I have wanted to make a dedicated gaming room and in the past week it has started to become a reality.
One of my spare bedrooms which was initially used for drying clothes on a $13 clothes hanger is slowly being converted into a PC gaming room.
My girlfriend is moving in mid month and figured it was time to start the project
I started this last week, it's come to a pause on the racing part until I get my new living room TV and put the current 50" plasma into the gaming room for the race sims.
Here's some progress so far..
I've moved the clothes hanger to the backroom. a difficult task having it fold and buckle at nearly every foot step while constantly being told off for not first taking the clothes off the hanger and leaving behind a trail of socks and underwear, followed by a lecture about why I don't just use the line outside in the sun. Of course my excellent logic on the fact it's too far to walk was sufficient enough.
Next was to fit two desks into the room, one for Lisa's PC and one for mine, mine is still in the bedroom because I can't sleep without a movie on. it will stay here until I buy another internal hard drive for my old PC and set it up for movie watching sleep purposes.
The desks them selfs are called "blaze" which is a pretty cool name I thought and only took 7 long hours of complicated assembly manuals to complete.
The chairs, achieve executives were priced the same price each as the desks, but they're very comfy.
The TV unit which has been sitting in my other spare room for a while that I once used living back at my mums house has now been utilized. and my G27 on my old wheel stand pro I used in front of the couch was put in place for a good idea of space managment for my concept.
Lisa brought her computer over a few days later which I set up while she was at work and it was my day off. she's not happy with the speaker position I allocated despite it looking incredibly awesome.
(Please excuse the messy desk the room isn't finished yet.)
I superglued a 6 plug powerboard to the back my desk (the right one) I won't show you this as it's meant to be hidden.
After a bit of searching I found the perfect GTpro wheel stand and thank god I chose a mazda CX-7 for my company car or I would have never got it home. after much time spent abusing the wiring layout on the G27 I finally got it in and looking quite neat. A rug from my bedroom was used. I initially bought this rug to divide up my bedrooms black color scheme but I think it's put to better use having my cockpit not slide around.
I'd estimate I'm about 2 months away from completion at this stage pending my decision on what TV I want for the living room. however I will continue to update on other progressions.

LFS poster
Is there anywhere I can get a LFS poster?
I'm dedicating one of my spare bedrooms to a racing sim room and want to have posters of all the Racing sims I play in the room.

I CAN spend the moeny but I choose not to on a game that advertises it self as free, and for a game of that type, it's much more accomplishing to know that you achieved building such a beast by hard work and fine tuning.
Like the old Nitto before top fuel cars were brought in, and when people would be amazed if X the admin came into the chatroom.
Not throwing money at the wall.

Lol nitto racing, I played that before joining LFs.
It's very indepth and cool but physics are terrible and it makes you spend real money for the good cars and mods.

I made a suggestion like this a while ago but with horns, so you were able to upload your own horn and it would be downloaded like a skin automatically in each server.
Engines would be cool too.
There is the danger of exploiting but that normally results in clipping and anyone who can drive around with distortion coming from their engine probably won't win a race lol.
Good idea but maybe some limitations need to be put on the sound customization first.

Best laptime with XFG on BL1 : 1:44.810
And with XRG : 1:45.660
an Average driver will pull a 1:36-1:37
A good driver will do a 1:35
A great driver will do 1:34
A top driver a 1:33
And aliens a 1:32
How about you learn to drive the car rather suggest more power to improve your laptimes.
Now go buy your self a fire extinguisher to put out your immense burning.
