There´s no such thing needed as a drift car.

Quote from Intrepid :

but was it for the lookalikey, or the song title? maybe both

For the lookalike , I don't see the connection with the song title? It's "Garden" right?

Quote from arco :

I would also think that it would be in the devs best interest to make a product that sells well. As I understand, LFS is their main form of income. Sure, they can make LFS be whatever they want to, but if no one buys their product, what's the point? That would be the end of LFS as well.

But who says noone is going to buy their product if they make it how they want it to Besides, if certain type of players turn away from LFS because of increased realism other type of players will turn to LFS.
Scawen and Eric left a big software house with the main purpose being developing a sim their own way.
I regularly see people talking about how the devs are going to make enough money to live, well they have been doing this for years now so I'm sure they're doing fine. And Scawen has stated several times making money isn't the driving force behind LFS. If they wanted to make a lot of money they would be developing a different type of game. Let them worry about stuff like that, all that doom thinking makes no sense.

hehe, was thinking the same

Loko VEN, I think this is a better thread for stuff like that:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=20429
This thread is just to show renders.

Well, sometimes it can help just to write things down and share it with people even if you don't know them too well. Like he said he doesn't have a lot of relatives.

Anyway, sorry to hear it, that's some bad stuff coming together. Hang in there, next year could become the greatest year of them all

Lovely video The way these cars are going through the chicanes, all bouncing over the bumps looks so real.

Quote from AMB :

Sorry just thought it would be easier for people to see.

Smart. What if everyone would do that, there would be three versions of every topic.
People will see your topic when they do and help if they can. I really don't understand the impatience some people have.

Why 3 threads?

Quote from batteryy :

Im gonna buy i license, but if i buy s2 license do i have to pay again when s3 comes(if it comes)

Each stage (currently) costs 12 pounds, so if you buy S3 in the future it will cost you (assumably) 12 pounds for S3.

Quote from Mikjen :

where can u check what version u r running

Mck

On the startup screen.

Quote from greg_slideways :

It is jugded sport

Exactly. And therefore it's not racing. You're either faster or slower than the other guys, no judges needed to determine who's better, it shows in the results.

Quote from greg_slideways :

OK drifting is racing it is a motor sport witch is RACING...SO all that disagree say excatly why drift isnt racing

Drifting is a form of motorsports. But not a form of racing. (the drifting as we know it in LFS). Motorsport is not necessarily racing. Racing is motorsport though.
Racing: completing a certain distance, an amount of laps or over an amount of time with the goal of finishing first and/or as fast as possible. Drifting lacks this goal. Because the fastest way around the track is never by drifting except with rally or hillclimb. And even then it's used as a cornering technique only.

Quote from jimimonet :

Thanks, but should it count as an unlock.

Yes. It's not a problem really as you only used 1 of 2 unlocks.

Quote :

Also the user agreement says you get an unlock on Friday morning. Is it my local time Friday morning?

uk time.

Quote from TomShanK :

Okay, I assume interface would be the correct place to post this.

I installed the patch, and when I double-clicked on the exe (To Open Game) I got a nice little error-box that reads:

Could Not Load Font

So...

Do you happen to have the LFS skin viewer installed in the same directory as LFS?

Yes, or what Android said :P

Quote from ORION :

The icons are only in 16px, 32px and 64px inside this multi-res icon...
I can try to make another in 48px though, but no idea if that works in windows
Anyone else having problems with the icon? (or, anyone else using non-standard icon resolutions? )

It will work, by default XP has a maximum icon size of 48*48 (this size is used for the "tiles view" in a folder). To use bigger than that a registry modification is needed. I would appreciate a 48 one

Or release a .PNG version, so anyone with docks or different icon sizes can make their own out of it

that came out really nice beefy, great job

Quote from mickyc30 :

1280x1024 please

Here you go, sorry it took so long. 3DS kept crashing on me so I had to sort that out first. Rendering took waaay too long, I'll have to take a look at my settings. After it was finally finished the lighting on the car body came out way to bright so I had to do some correction in PS.
Hope you like it though

Quote from jordzan :

Hello Hello

Im a gtr2, gtl kinda guy. was looking for a new sim to play and am trying to decide between lfs and rfactor. I was hoping you all might let me know what you love about lfs and why should get rather than rfactor ? really have nfi about these 2 games. getting demos atm

In short, incomplete and in no particular order:
1. Great very active multiplayer community (don't take the demo servers as a measurement of quality and maturity)
2. The community in general
3. The developers way of working and interaction with the community
4. Better, more advanced physics simulation
5. No "wrong (mod) version hell" like in rFactor
6. LFSWorld (a web application which keeps track of just about any statistic there is to know about your online racing activity and that of other racers). It's just so complete and well done.
7. Great value for money

And lots of other stuff. I suggest you read around the forums and look up topics which are about what people love about LFS, there's just so much

Oh, and welcome btw
