It's always a pleasure seeing new progress! keep it up!
I wish we had the same marketing budget...
IMO any solution that can boost LFS popularity is welcome, and steam happen to be one of them, there is GOG too the DRM free platform.
- You will have the ping problem as the majority of the servers are hosted in Europe.
- Yes the multiplayer is still active.
- Your system spec should do ok, between low-mid settings you will get 50-60 fps.
Impressive comparisons pictures ! thanks devs!
So the work with the shaders isn't done yet ? the result in the pictures isn't final ?
AC 1 HTML interface is pretty annoying, but at least it let us having some freedom with customized launcher mods.
Anyone tested AC Competizione yet ?

It's very relative, and that's your personal opinion not a general rule, league hosters are doing just fine with other sim even if they don't offer the simplicity of LFS but price need to be payed for actual gameplay feature, I guess the more feature you have the more complexe is the server setup.
Every sim out there has something to offer, people are aware of that and that's why LFS is not their sim of choice anymore, maybe it will change in the far future with some big updates.
As for me LFS will never leave my hard driver until it dies, as for every worth simracing title worth my time.
heh that's why we have around 100 daily active players.
I love LFS but let's face it, there is simply better products for every needs out there.
Some games out there are really for adult audience, it's basically an interactive movie with story, much more interesting compared to the majority of last decade Hollywood trash and marvel bs movies etc, you should know that so you won't buy games with mature content for your childrens or grand childrens
.Open your mind and don't let yourself caught in simplistic stereotype.
Thanks for reminding us you are the 1st lfs fanboy around here.
The kind of generosity you can only find on LFS forum,an impressive way of sharing your passion kristofferandersen. 
Superb work devs, clean and sharp looking graphics is how to make a sim look realistic.
Hopefully we'll get our hand on it by the end of this year.

Wow you went that far, for a first project it's really well done, bravo. 
Do you think working for weak (like the switch) is platform less/more enjoyable than pc/psx/xbox exclusive projects ? or graphics fidelity make working on those platform more demanding ?

Nice to see some news about the graphical overhaul, I bet on Eric being motivated again and working harder on LFS when he see how good his work is rendred now ingame.
So now we have diffuse and glossy material, specular map and real time shadows ? is there any plan introducing normal maps into the game or some sorte of layering through RGB mask or similar technique for more varied textures ?
And one last stupid question : is developing/improving graphic engine more rewarding than physics coding ?

I deleted them long time ago sadly, they are useless now since most tracks are being or are updated, plus they don't look right from my point of view right now.
I will dig into my external HDD, maybe I have some lost copy there.

The nightmare with this car is the tires management....
@Scawen now that's a nice technique, glad to see that you kept the indirect lightning into the new updated engine, it will save time for Eric, because he doesn't need to back (apply shadow into the final texture) every track objects texture with ambiant shadow .
But it's still a little bit problematic in case of night/day transition, as you cant use the indirect lightning in real time conditon ?
Also is the new dynamic shadow also can be rendred inside the car interior ?
Whatever, I can't wait to see the final result onto the updated tracks.

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 ?

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