its not mid 2009 yet,so its early still

If you have early, mid and late then april is indeed still early 2009.

It doesn't, but an update about the progress would be nice. Last official info is still early 2009 on the LFS website.

it looks like a movie.. everything is just to.. much?

like it happens everyday here in Sweden someone makes a 180, reverse after trailer and steals it joke!

If it happened everyday it would be no fun to make a movie about it.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

What's wrong with simply allowing users to choose between DX8 and DX9? That way you get no-one complaining from either side.

Besides, if your PC struggles to play LFS, then oh god help you..

Because it's more work to update and patch two versions of LFS?

Last week everything went wrong (actually it all happened in one weekend, the rest of the week wasn't that bad).
I got two tickets (one for speeding with 3 km/h and one for forgetting to renew my parkinglicence.
My numberplates got stolen of my car because i had to park it somewhere else
I took the wrong train because i had to go somewhere to eat when i went out by train because of that
One of my tooth broke off that evening.

That were the dislikes, the likes were that i could get new plates within 15 minutes and that the garage put them on for free. Also i didn't have to pay in the parking garage under the town hall for some strange reason when i parked there to renew my parking licence.

I don't like first person shooters so i don't fit in the category. If it wasn't LFS it would be an other racinggame. I've played a lot of them but the only ones i tried online are totaly not comparable with LFS (Midtown Maddness2 and Trackmania).

I think LFS is the only Sim i did not give up imidiatly because you can enter at a low level (slow cars, chase view, autogears, minimaps like the arcade games people come from ). Offcourse i do now play with dashboardview and manual gears.

Airbags?... hmm'kay... someone asked for cup holders, ..why not cig' lighter or climatized glove box then?...
:sheep:

Cruise control would be a nice race-addon (now let's hope i didnot wake up the cruisers)

Quote from Mr. 7un10r :

In What version LX8 Are? I want to taste it.

In no official versions. I think it has been in a testpatch.

And indeed, not in demo versions anyway

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

This. Early could be any time in the first half of the year. It wasn't said it would be in the first half, quarter third, whatever, so to me early means any time before the Summer

That said, tomorrow's Friday

So for you june is early? I think for most people it isn't.

But it doesn't matter what early in the year is for us or for the devs. They allready said it takes more time then expected and that personal stuff takes some time too. We just have to wait till we hear something new about the release. I don't care if it is more delayed but i do hope we will hear something about it if so.

Maybe your car is in reverse.

Is the beeping coming from your pcspeaker inside your pc or from your speakerset that is connected to your soundcard?

Well my post got lost with the official forum, so i will write again what i thought.

I didn't drive the S2L, so i have no opinion on that. It must be a great league because it has a big startingfield.

The formula league was great. The races were long enough to make pitstops more then just a mandatory stop-and-go. I think for the next season it would be nice to have a league where people must stick to the same car (TBO, GTR or mini GTR) for a season.

The lemans races were to short. Driverswaps during a race would be cool as long as it is not mandatory. I think i will drive the whole race for myself if it's not longer then 2 hours.

About the shorter times between Lemans races, maybe it's an idea to not have an Formula and Lemans race at the same time but to do them after each other. So next season a Lemans Season, the season after that a formula season, and after that a Scirocco or LX season. I think it could be fun to drive the same car for severall races, you will get to know the car better.

Quote from theirishnoob :

the only realistic sujestion i can see is a more powerful go kart... the mrt is honestly... Rubbish...


update it or maybe have two versions ( like the lx4/6 with one kart being 125 the other 250 ? )

Isn't the MRT5 allready more powerfull then a go kart? Karts at the local indoor kartcenter over here are 250 cc with a top speed of 60 km/h. The MRT is much faster then that and more build for outdoor racing.

But a kart with a trackbuilder would be cool. Then you can make your own local karttrack in LFS.

No indeed, the Scirocco is not even a race car (what doesn't mean i won't race it when it's done). I think there will be a lot of Scirocco servers and cups when it's available

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Dunno what all the bitching is about....

You CHOSE to pay £24 to have the full version of S2. You KNEW it would include free updates for life (although the content in the "next stage" would come at an additional charge) on a game you've probably played more than any console game that would cost twice as much, and not forgetting has an 8.5/10 physics and 10/10 pick up and play rating..

Not that i argue with your post, your point is clear, but ... for life? Really? I'm glad i'm not a developer of this great sim

Quote :

As pb3200 has said, even if development stopped today I wouldn't be angry or feel ripped off. I've played LFS since before S1 was made final (about 5 or 6 years now, can't remember) and enjoyed every moment!

What, nooo, we have free updates for life

Try to boot from a live cd (like Ubuntu has). If it works fine then it is probably your OS (but could also still be a dieing harddisk).

I missed last race, i hope i can make it this sunday. It is a very busy week.

Why don't we make this our official forum? We have our own segment and more people will know about the league. Only the trusted board section is a little difficult because everyone can write in it if it is here.

Quote and you see the code

It's funny

More cars with limited setups like the VW for cupraces. I think it will lead to close low entry racingseries

It's not strange people keep asking for the car. It has had two deadlines now that sort of changed (last i red is that it will come when it's done). I think the developers will learn from this experience and keep us in the dark again from now on for the next updates. Like it was before.

It would be nice to know a little about when you can expect the next patch will come out, but i guess that's difficult. New bugs may come up and in a small development team a change in personal life (like moving to an other place) can slow things down too. I don't mind, i will just wait till it's done.

Quote from TexasLTU :

Forbidding people to speak about Scirocco is communism

Quote :

Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general.

How is that communism?

I drive with hands at 10 and 2. Always thumbs on the outside because i learned that in real driving (if you don't and you loose control in your real car your thumbs can brake by the forces on the steeringwheel)

Neteler and Paypal do this too to verify your bankaccount. It is not that strange.

Quote from pb32000 :

Still, doesn't bother me, 99% of the roads I have to drive don't have cameras and are never patrolled by police so it hardly matters if you 30mph or 80mph.

Don't worry, the camera's will come too.

Quote from Leprekaun :

sorry, I wasn't clear when I said that GT5P and Forza 2 are good alternatives. I meant good alternatives as in they offer different things to LFS. All 3 are aiming to be as realistic as possible but while LES only offers 19 cars, Forza offers 200+ and GT5P offers 60+. LES may have more tracks but Forza and GT5P has real tracks (like the Nordschleife, Suzuka and Silverstone)

of course, my essentials to a sim may be different to many. I used to think that LFS was the best sim out there, simply because I felt that it had the most realistic feel to it but when I played Forza, my mind instantly switched.

The one thing that I greatly admired LFS for in the first place was its physics but can its physics still be defined as realistic, I very much doubt that. All you need to do is watch some WRs to realise that most of those guys aren't great drivers, they're just great exploiters of a false representation of reality and I admit, I've had a few under my name and after I did it, I realised how silly it was.

That said, I can't say the same about Forza or GT5P because I don't have broadband to watch what they look like but for now, I prefer Forza over LFS in all areas (Physics, cars, tracks, sounds, graphics). I'll still keep up to date with LFS and its developments because it was so good when it first came out and its ok now so its bound to have tons of potential to be the ultimate sim once again but until then, I'll be enjoying thrashing my Enzo GT round the Nurburgring

I've heard good things about Forza. I have it myself too, but i don't have a wheel for my xbox so i can't really compare it. I agree with some parts, but it's hard to say something about physics when you sit in the bank with a controller. I prefer LFS with wheel above Forza with an Xbox controller

About LFS physics. Maybe you are right. I don't know. I don't have the time to play multiple sims so i stick to LFS (i've tried Rfactor, GTR2, Race07 and even iRacing with the 1 month trial but i didn't have the time to really get to know these games. They felt strange but i can't say if it was more or less realistic). Wouldn't real life drivers exploit real life physics more if they had unlimited practise laps, no chance of loosing their life and a fixed new car at no costs?
