Quote from Mike85 :I just wonder when will the damage model be completed.

When it´s done.

Quote :When are there gonna be animated pit crew?

Who said there will be an animated pit crew in the first place? And is it really THAT important.

Quote :Scawen should tell us what are his plans and a timeframe.

No he shouldn´t. And he won´t. If you know anything about the devs way of working you would know that. I think most people know that but they just refuse to accept it.

Quote :
But at the same time I dont want it to be rushed to S2 final just because we want it fast

Quote :
But I get a feeling that Scawen writes alot of code which is not used in the game right now.

Maybe, maybe not. How would you know? Besides it will end up in the game when the time is there. A lot could be incompatible with the current version, ever thought about that?

Quote :
What I, and probably most of the community wants, is an LFS with features to match rFactors for example. Then that would be a full-blown engine. It would be THE best racing game. Right now its just the best in racing physics.

...some people just won´t take no for an answer...

read slowly:

there will not be any modding before S3 if any

Quote :
Right now LFS is full of ideas, but they need to be put on a list and prioritised. We need to say what will be in the game and what wont.

Excuse me, and you are?
What on earth makes you think you have any say in it? You don´t determine what will be in the game and what not, and you sure aren´t needed by the devs to do their prioritising...
Really, you seriously need to get a clue.

Quote :That way it could even be used as an industry simulator for testing new cars.

Get real.


Quote :We just want features.

Please speak for yourself and nothing but yourself.

Quote :
I would recommend making a test patch with everything you have done so far. With all the code so far. And then we'll make it stable with testing. And see what comes out

Then you make some new code

ZOMG your insight is so overwhelming, the devs should ask you to be in teh dev team!

Quote from pacmanrr :hrmmm..fairly new to LFS, but I don´t think it´s about holding off progress...this was an incompatible patch, 2 different (incompatible) kind of clients and servers..
IMHO some people would like the "latest version"...others will prefer the "stable version" ..server owners would choose the version they wanted, but AFAI remember..we could see all servers..

don´t know if it happened with S1=>S2 or another versions...just know what happened from Sep06 to date...anyways waiting for X

As far as I can recall the W test patches were the only incompatible test patches ever released. But I don't think it should matter whether the X test patches will be incompatible or not. After all, they're test patches for a reason, to be tested. Like I said, people can just have two LFS versions.
What Mr. Muh suggested was not releasing any test patches for months because it could be incompatible. That's the wrong way of thinking IMO, it hinders progress. I think Scawen is able to work more effectively when he receives bug reports before releasing the official patch, which in the end makes it a better, more stable patch. Development progress should lead the way, not backwards compatibility.

Quote from Mr.Muh :..and please no Testpatch X1 in the next months, otherwise we´ll have a split community again

^^

uhm, holding off progress to avoid people using different patches? what a silly way of thinking. people can always use two LFS installs, one to test new patches and one using the latest official patch. This sim is a work in progress so you can expect things like that.

Quote from james12s :this is the sort of person who doesnt understand how to post in this type of thread; read xcnuse's post and compare his is good yours is bad

now you've hurt my feelings...

seriously, you should get a clue. You're the type of person that goes on shouting like a little boy when people don't agree with him or don't supply him with an answer he approves of. Silly you. If you had a clue you would know the devs opinion on this so the discussion in itself is irrelevant.
Don't bother replying as I will not get into it any further.

Quote from james12s :that is why i said a vauge non promis list!!!!!!!!

But people WILL take it as a promise no matter how it will be put. Forum experience tells me that. And what would be the worth of such a list anyway if it doesn't promise anything? It will still remain a matter of wait and see what will become of it.

Quote :
and sorry for the caps as it might help people understand!!!!

No it won't, it's just annoying.

oh ya, my answer: no.

Quote from mantvisrep :ok, no ,but still if we have chance to choose.

But...we don't.

Quote :
skins or rims?

They're two totally different things so choosing between them is unnecessary and pointless.

I would like to have some different wheels to choose from or be able to use a program like bespoke and be able to at least connect with them.

Quote from Polaxis :I'm really waiting for a black tea / coffee cup with the 3 color LFS-logo on it.
So I can start my day with LFS in a cup and end it with LFS on my screen

I second that

Quote from raazman :I really don't have any money right now

You don't have it right now ? What about all those years you have been playing LFS like you said? In all those years you never had any money? Sorry but I just don't buy that. Get a job, mow some lawns, wash some cars, get a paper round, ask it as a birthday present, ask it for christmas. If none of those are a possibility for you then not being able to get LFS is the least of your problems.

Quote from Hartsa_550 :Okay. if S3 is only graphics updates and weather implementation

Mostly, not only.
At least that is what people are expecting. In reality nobody knows anything about what S3 will be like.

Quote :So S3 will be finished version of S2.

No. S3 will be LFS's next installment. S3 will be the final version of LFS, and therefore finished. S2 will have a final version and that will be the finished version of S2.

Quote :
And what I ment meaningless, was something like those countless language-versions, and features like send SMS from in-game.

Just because they are meaningless to you doesn't mean they are meaningless to others.
Besides, small changes often take a small amount of time to implement so I don't see the problem. And most of the work on the language versions is done by the translators. All Scawen has to do for that now is update his version.

LFS got Vista support some time ago, so there should be no problems.

Quote from Riders Motion :I'm interested, can you give me more infos about that? Free? Download Link? Thank you!

Well, I can't give you anything to download because I would have to upload my modified install CD and that would be illegal

I made it such a long time ago I don't even remember all the details of what I did
But it's a combination of using nLite (www.nliteos.com) and manually tweaking things.
You can find a lot of info about it here:

http://www.msfn.org/board/nLite_f89.html
http://www.msfn.org/board/Unat ... ows_2000_XP_2003_f70.html

Takes a lot of time and effort and some experimenting though so if you decide to do it test it on another PC or in a VM.

Let's just say the best of both XP and 2000
Yeah yeah, the best of XP is 2000 I hear you say

Isn't that just some modded XP with stuff added and slipstreamed into it? I don't think you will encounter problems using LFS as it doesn't change anything in XP's "core". I'm using a self-modified version of XP mainly aimed at performance improvement/removing unnecessary crap and it works perfectly and have no problems playing LFS or any other app for that matter.
