Quote from Riders Motion :What I dislike from some mods these times are:

They are only compatible with a V Version + license

Yes, well that's down to the fact that LFS is in constant development. Something changes in the games' latest patch and mods can be made useless. Not the mod creator's fault or the dev's fault, that's just the way it is.

You cannot your them online

Too bad, I wont you those because I spend most of my time online

Yeah I just spend some time with it and it's quite fun to play with but not being able to use it online is a bit of a bummer. But at least this way you won't see other people's terrible creations. But it would be great if it would just show all the cars using the wheels you create yourself.

Quote from N.OzolS :Can anyone tell me the point of rendering lfs skins?

Because they can look much nicer than a shot from the cmx viewer. People may want to have a nice pic of their skin to use it as a desktop wallpaper.

The one we currently have was introduced in april last year.
I think the new one is much better though.

Quote from Foropsico :Thats true, but you do not know if the game costs are so hi that devs cant lower the price. I think that the question is: LFS is a game for all the game comunity, or is just for sim racing fans with wheel who would pay good money for this game.

Once again, it's not high compared to other games, especially not when compared to for instance a flight simulator. Besides, this is an indie game and the dev's source of income. Why would they need to lower the price? If they lower the price to for instance 20 pounds for S2, people would still complain.
LFS is years worth of work and dedication by the devs, and they want a fair price for their product.

And IT IS a fair price. You seem to think that the devs are getting ridiculously rich from LFS or something. If they wanted to make a lot of money to would work at a big software company like they used to do (well Scawen and Eric did).

LFS is aimed at sim racing fans, and not the mainstream market like I have tried to explain numerous times. And concerning the price, I don't know how much for instance X-Box games cost in Spain, but over here the prices are ridiculous. And those games are made by big companies with a market segment much much higher than LFS'.

Maybe some people dont think that LFS is so important to get a job.

Exactly one of my points. It's fine if you don't want to get a job to buy LFS, I have no problem with that. BUT then don't come complaining here about how you can't afford it and call it expensive! Get off your lazy ass or don't complain! Everything in life costs money and few of us are born rich. Besides, getting a job brings certain benefits anyway, not just being able to buy LFS.

Everything you want to have requires a certain investment, you have to ask yourself: do I want this enough to justify the money or effort I would have to spend on it? If one is not prepared to for instance get a job or do chores to get LFS, he or she simply doesn't want it enough. And that's fine, but I get sick of people putting the source of the "problem" with the product's price and not with their own lazy asses.

Any way, not many people used to buy software, hardware is necesary, software is crackeable. So, the price for software must be low.

Ridiculous statement.
So, because I can steal a car, car prices must be low? illepall:

Anyway, no matter if someone paid for their PC and connection or not, it's not like buying a car or a house or anything. I do understand it's harder to get the money together for some, but that's just the way it is. Exchange rates and different economic situations are responsible for that, and there's nothing we or the devs can do anything about.
What bothers me is that some people complain they're poor or that LFS is too expensive, but when you get into a discussion about it often is the case that they don't do crap to get themselves in the position to buy it. Get a job, a paperround, wash cars, do chores, save up their allowance, don't buy that hamburger, etc.
If you aren't able to do that or really can't afford it, well tough shit really. That's the way the world works. I can't afford everything I want either. Some things I will never be able to afford, and for some things I set money aside.

Quote from mixer13134 :I tried to render your skin, but it looks kinda weird. Window trims and stuff are white. I have no time atm too, but if you would like to see that one, PM me.

In one of the interior textures there's a white square with a black outline. Color the white part black or dark gray and the window trims won't be white anymore

sounds like a master plan to me

some elaboration would be nice.
But you're probably talking about the ability to use bodykits, or other car parts, which would be useless and more appropriate in certain other games. Not to mention it has been suggested quite often before.

Quote from Electrik Kar :It's not car related, but last year I copied this out of an oriental carpets book. It took well over 100 hours. Crazy or what?

:jawdrop: illepall

When racing, you need to stay concentrated and focused on just the racing, not bidding on eBay. I can't even understand how people have their IM running while racing.
I remember a race on SO where someone had just stopped their car right after the SO Classic chicane, and it was just standing there for several laps. The knobhead defended himself saying he got some important messages to answer on ICQ illepall

So -1 from me to these suggestions. LFS is meant to be a racing simulator, not some sort of PIM.
