Thanks for the news Scawen , attracting more people by improving the sim graphics and presentation is the right thing to do now, that will provide you the necessary motivation to make more change in the future.

Maybe a steam release after that ?

Anyway I enjoy the online world LFS offers much more .... spectating and chatting much eassier and more fun.

chitchatting sure is fun, that's why lfs is so popular nowdays....

Quote from RC-Maus :

But I think most guys want real cars and tracks + good graphics

You are delusional thinking that you are the only truth holder saying others know shit and have bad tast.

Ac or AMS (eg) are as good as lfs if not better in terme of driving physics, but as you may know ( but don't want to admit ) LFS lack the appeal of a modern game ( graphics, content, steam integration ), thats all, nothing more, nothing less.

Fully deserved r3zp3k7! congratulation!

Hello!
I've just noticed, by doing a few laps, that the XFG now understeers slightly more, same setup as my old .6Q; is it a "new" feature or is it a bug? You could take corners at least 10 km/h faster (of course without cutting) in .6Q, now in Q10 the XFG either slides or goes straight ahead. Both times it was tested with no wind on.

Maybe because the track is more bumpy now, that can induce understeers if the setup is too stiff.

Personally I like those new curbs, I agree with anything that prevent people from literally cutting the first chicane to gain in lap time.

Omg! what an unexpected update! what I can say..., thank you LFS devs!

Hi Scawen, had a goosebump for a moment when I saw the test patch thread lol .

So no crash so far, but it seems like there is "holes" in the ambiante shadow under the car, near the tyres, also if you can make it darker because IMO it's still barely visible.

Quote from Eclipsed :

I'm wondering how legal this is. I mean - all the tracks are licenced content,accessible only for those,who have purchased LFS licence,now the guy offers the stuff for free,even if it's another environment.

I bet that no one know this track is from LFS.

Interesting, but it can look way more detailed with an up to date track like Westhill.

Some free advertise for the game wouldn't make any harm!

Give it to a demo user, I think an demo user will be much more happy with it than a licensed guy .

Quote from RC-Maus :

I think scawen allready has his list he want to do

Lately i bought assetto when it was on sale but I miss all kind off stuff we take for granted in lfs. Only graphics are better but LFS wins at rest.

Seems like the majority of simracing player base don't think the same as you.

Which explain why Scawen have to make progress on those things, if LFS was already perfect why would he go into a coding adventure if the software part is already perfect ?

You can use existing formula like from pacejka model if you get yourself stuck into another impossible problem, use it as a placeholder until you find a more efficient way to make the thing if its possible ofc.

It would be nice when you reach a playable stage with tyre physics development to start an open test patch for us to help you finding glitch and exploits that beta testers ignored or didn't found.

Nothing can be perfect, even the actual tyre model has some strange behavior which help players to get faster through an unrealistic driving technics, so I hope you will find a good compromise in a reasonable amount of time so you can bring a new life into LFS.

Thanks for your explanations Scawen, hope we can see the result of the new tyre modele asap.

Nice update, hopefully we'll see more similar features for immersion in the near future.

Very nice addition, it's those little details that make the sim more and more immersive .

No major bugs spotted so far.

Now some proper shadows and some new shaders for the track/cars and we can have an interesting looking game.

Thanks Scawen, I can't wait to see the improvements!

Quote from nacim :

Congratulations, you got me hyped.

Don't please! or else I will jump too on the almost empty hype train!

I bet it's something about VR.

Quote from Scawen :

I am working on something.

Quote from Cote Dazur :

Thank you, again.

Quote from Cote Dazur :

Driving looking at a flat 2D screen is more natural than driving using VR to you? Really? Thank you for making me smile .

Your life must be sad to smile at the preferences of others.

Got the weather.ini ! here a modified Natural graphics mod by ears1991 if any of you want to test.
