Do they do different countries now?

Who? I'm with SEE, that company has most activities in the US. They only had small contracts in Europe, but Europe was good for mij driverrating

I've just moved to the US and bought the 2004 Volvo (it's a $40.000 truck). Still like this game

Quote from Stature :

i like to spend my money on other stuff like my mountain bike and other gadgets but i also have a g25... i loved the new s1 cars when i first got it but then i found out after practicing that almost literally no-one is online...
edit: when i search the forums, no-one has "S1 Licensed" under their name and im surprised that it says that under my name lol!

You could start your own server (or even league). S2 players will join

Quote from Luke.S :

I downloaded it and quite enjoyed it. They are also making a new series.

We are talking about the series First episode was broadcasted yesterday.

Very nice camera angels, editing, music, well actually everything

Quote from Dac :

would anybody agree that there are certain aspects of real world racing that we just dont like? this being one of them. all it does it take the advantage the pole sitter has earned!

Eh no, i actually like the idea. But i don't think it will see S2 final, maybe it will ever come in S3.

You know you've played too much LFS when your looking for a macro to make your Smart shift faster.

No. There will not be enough wheels to sell, which will make the wheel way to expensive. If you want an LFS wheel you could mod it yourself

Most cars have a pushdown reverse gear btw.

Quote from Psysim :

Do you really think LFS wants to dig deep? The answer would be to just stop selling S1, Its not going to die but its going to be hard to charge for....

With s3 you got to wonder what will happen to the prices, will it be £36? Maybe s1 and s2 should be reduce to bring the prices within £30?

Doesn't have to. You can also give a discount if you buy all 3 stages at the same time. But from what i've red in the forums it's just going to be £36.

And why give people money back IF S1 will be dropped (i don't think that will happen soon, maybe someday when S3 is final they will present it as 1 product). LFS is one of the only games that has given updates for so many years. It has to stop sometime. S1 users from the old days are just lucky that their content still gets updated because it's also used for the S2 licences.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

S1 can be demo only if the engines are removed

What would be the advantages of scrapping S1? It's not doing any harm, and there quite a few S1 users around. If S1 was scrapped, they'd all be be demo users again (very unlikely that they'd be brought up to S2 without paying the same as everyone else), and that isn't allowed. They've payed for S1 content, and S1 content they shall get

Having said that, if/when S3 comes out, making S1 the new demo mightn't be a bad idea. The S1 users who've payed for S1 content would still get S1 content

I think a S1 with S3 physics (whatever that will bring) is way to much for a demo.

Nice skin. It looks like the interceptor, only a little more shiny

Quote from flymike91 :

I think you should ask the S1 users whether it should be scrapped or not.

Where are they?

But i don't think it should be scrapped. There are not a lot of S1 servers but if you look at people online a big percentage is on a S1 server (CTRA Race1). So it has value. Also it's a good way for people who can't afford S2 and want to buy half the game first. I think the stages are a good idea.

Quote from Shadowww :

fcuk is not a bad word and AIs for example cant drive on servers with wind, and! AIs cant crash, use speedhack and damagehack

And fother mucker also isn't a bad word. Ok, so you didn't mistype

Quote from Shadowww :

Maybe autopilot hack too? I think that noob cant take corner even with 10 kmh, so hacks does this for him.

Then you can better send the AI on the track to do your racing

BTW: watch your language

Quote from J@tko :

Its actually quite easy:

1) set your custom view to face backwards
2) invert your steering input
3) max out your gears (ish) [<--- i think :S]

Easy i wouldn't say. Steering movements work a little different when the steering wheels are at the back.

What's the fun of that ? I don't get it. Even an ape can win with cheats.

I only see everyone lagging. Guess you have a lot of lag?

Quote from Gabkicks :

Yeah i know, but for small things like this, there are ways. I found a little internet sidejob I did over the summer to make some extra cash. I haven't decided if I will continue it because that's time that could be spent studying (or gaming). you just have to find a way. For some, it is harder.

Why is it so important for you that others find a way? It's not like you die if you don't buy S2 and if people want to buy other stuff with their money that's their decision. If the devs don't care about the time people use demo why should you?

This was i nice thread about a user that wrote about the fun year he had with LFS demo. Why destroy that and attack him? What's there to win if you are "right"?

Quote from Gabkicks :

He owns a computer though. How'd he get that making 1 dollar a year? He play lfs demo at the library or something?

In Europe 1.351 dollars means what you name 1,351 dollars. You could look a little bit out of the US before making an opinion on things you know nothing about.

Quote from Gabkicks :

Your mom can't spare a dollar a week? I mean, i am not attacking the OP, but it makes me wonder why people can't just solve problems and instead make excuses. 1 dollar a week is about 52 dollars. that is pretty much enough for an s1 an s2 license. 1 dollar a day is a about 8 weeks. People really can't save 1 dollar a day? drink water instead of soda a few days a week? skip the M&M's or a pint of beer?

I played the demo for a long time too before i bought S1 hehe. They need to teach money management and how to save in school.

Why? He doesn't seem to have a problem (why do you think that?) and maybe he prefers his beer and M&M's. It's not for you to decide what other people do with their money and it's not for you to decide how long people may play demo.

Why the attack on him using demo and making a message about the good time he had with it for a year? It's just the model the devs use. Free unlimited (in time) demo in what a lot of people can get enthusiastic and buy S2.

The league i drive also has a demo devision and a lot of people drive in it for a long time. Every once in a while a few buy S2 because they want to try something new. I don't think that is a bad way of selling your product.

Quote from pacesetter :

I didnt even play the demo!

I did, 3 laps in the time S1 didn't even exist and 3 laps years later when i bought S2. To bad for the missing years

I open kinder surprise eggs. The next lap i can put the toy together.

It could indeed be the resolution. I've noticed a huge framedrop when working with fraps since i have a bigger monitor and upscaled to 1600*1050. Next time i'll change that too, the resolution is a little overkill for youtube

You forget the other two chicanes

Quote from LaimisD1 :

I saw that Fifth Gear episode and I remember that they said that scirroco is 25% better than golf in real life...so its about the same as the golf

It's 25% better then the Golf GTI and cheaper they said. What did you expect? That it was a competitor for a Lamborghini Gallardo?
