The development wasn't always slow. I remember when I bought S2, we had test patches every 2-3 months with exciting new content. (one of the reasons I bought LFS). You must understand that 2 years without anything new is getting a little, well, boring. We were used to get new content and comments from the devs very often. Nowadays Scawen comments once in a month to say that he's still working on tyre physics simulation. I just don't understand why they can't release for example the updated cockpits which were "almost done" in 2008.
You can read my comments on LFSF, I'm not that a big moaner. I just don't like that we still don't have a patch. I don't moan about it. I know it is extremely hard to code sometihng so close to reality(I have been doing a little programming myself), I respect Scawen and his skills... I'm just saying that this is taking too long and their contact with the customers(community) is, well, bad.
The argument that "do your own game" isn't very useable on these forums, because 99% of the users are simracers and not programmers.
There were times when I was excited about new progress reports, but now, after 2 years without an proper update, I just hate to see progress reports and stuff like "this thread is going to be here a long time"
