What if Scawen died while taking that BMW out for a spin in that video? I like the way things are going and LFS is my favorite sim by far but at times I think they could use a little help just for the sake of continuity.

Yeah ok, hire a couple of extra guys just in case Scawen (heaven forbid) dies in a car wreck

Conning people into carrying out your sick fantasies isn't a subject fit for this forum, Dusty.

FTR, the other thread on this topic is on the front page of this section, last post less than an hour ago (link). No search function required other than good ol' fashioned human eyeballs

Nice projector :up: Shame about the pit lane penalties though

i can haz serch?

Quote from Ian.H :

Eek! That would be a real nightmare. Sometimes I check left / right various times quite quickly, depending on the situation.. I'd be pretty miffed to hit the button a couple of times only to find it within the incremental threshold and end up snapping my neck from looking too far round.

I don't see any problems with the current system. Maybe I got used to the 45 degrees (which I _far_ prefer) with ISI games.. it's actually something I've wanted added to LFS since before S2 was released.. 90 degrees meant that your door mirrors were just there for show as you couldn't see diddly squat in them as your virtual head turned too far.

Ian

The double click thing in GPL really isn't as perilous as it sounds The threshold is quite "natural" (for want of a better word) and I've found that checking 90 or 135 by accident is very rare. Like pretty much all community GPL addons it's intuitive and quite well done. At the moment I haven't got GPLShift working so I'm stuck with the standard 45 glance anyway, which is fine. I have mirrors and stereo sound, after all. I doubt Jack Brabham was sitting up in the cockpit and craning his neck to look over his shoulder

GPL aside, I won't lose sleep over LFS' new look function. I'm fine with it. Hell, if I can't adapt my opposable thumbs to a mere computer game I'm not much of a bloody primate am I?

Yup. This is win-win as far as I'm concerned: any demo driver serious about drifting the XRT (with a current S2 version) will fork out for a license; any demo driver serious about racing will be enticed by the FBM. It's hard to see a downside tbh

Yes, you do

Bam. There ya go

I wonder if a double-tap on the look button would be feasible?

There's a mod for GPL (GPLShift) which allows a double or triple click option for looking left/right. One click on your look button = 45 degrees, double click = 90, triple = 135 (over your shoulder at the rear wheel). You can also set custom angles. Damn useful :up:

I've always loathed that bloody chicane at SO, but now I approach it without fear and without nearly as much braking as I used to It's a lot safer and a lot more fun and the track improvements (graphics and layout-wise, including those at Blackwood - haven't had time to check out the others) are fantastic.

Great work Eric :up:

If only Katie Holmes had had a Cruise filter ...
WORSTEST JOKE OF T3H EV4RZ =D

I'm with them^ get S2 now! S2 Final will be the same price as the S2 Alpha is now, so you've got nothing to lose - unless, of course, you stay a demo user. With the latest up-to-date demo, you'll lose the XRT which has been removed to make way for the Formula BMW.

The only thing more interesting than a great, multi-faceted sim that works well is being in on the development process of that sim and watching how it improves :up:

Quote from col :

It's even possible that there won't be an S3 ! :-o
Originally, there were supposed to be 4 parts, then that was reduced to 3 as the development of LFS matured... It may be that S2 takes a lot longer to finalize and ends up having more features than was initially intended, maybe it won't get the positive reception and acclaim required to motivate the team for S3... then Scawen might decide to ditch the project - bugs and all - and work on a motorbike simulator 'in his spare time' lol

That gave me the lolx I wonder which sim developer you could possibly be thinking of

Totally.

Bring on spinners, bullet hole decals and neons. Hecks yah.

dadge - nice links

Quote from farcar :

Just a quick suggestion and one that I did search for but can't see has already been posted.

I suggest servers should be categorised in to 'Racing', 'dr1Ft0ring' and 'Cruising' ...

Well, my heart dies a little death each time I see a well populated server on a good combo and then realise it's a dr1ft or cruise one.

I reckon you would've found an existing thread if you'd spelled "drift" with an "i" instead of a "1"

As for your tiny heart attacks, that's the pork rind talking. Eat some greens mate

They sure didn't waste their valuable time poll-spamming

Smart arse, I knew this would happen

Hmm, alrighty then, exchange rate of AUD vs The Quid ... $400b = approximately 2 quid.
Okay ... when I come to the UK I'll buy you a pint.

Mods, please close this now as its purpose has been served

Good move. I remember in one of the millions of "more stuff for demo plz" threads a while back that many people wanted the FOX to be a demo car to attract more people ... well, they got their wish and it's a win-win. Now, demo racers not only get shut of the "XRT4eva no license needed kthxbai" crowd, they get a brand new single-seater to race with as well as a bunch of new features and upgrades.

Go Scavier :up:

PS: I will personally award four hundred billion dollars to the first n00b to start a "put t3h XRT bak in t3h demo plz waaahz " thread over in Improvement Suggestions ...

I'm looking forward to the rest of the treats in this patch, nice work devs

Too late imho - triple posting is never a good look and always smacks of desperation.
