Sca be like meh idk bout my community.

Jokes aside. For me as having played since December 2002, it is plain saddening what has become of LFS and it's development. In 2006 things still looked ever so promising for the future. I even remember LFS mates of mine winning "S3 licenses" at leagues. As it turns out 8.5 years on they still haven't been able to receive their rewards from the long gone league organisations. Not that it bothers them anymore cause I've seen nearly all my LFS mates fall off the radar after having lost their hopes and interest.

And I, I seem to just have stuck around having fait in- and love for LFS.. But since early (insert year) history seems to indefenitly repeat itself and my love light for LFS is slowely burning out too...

One should only handle few false promises. And one should not shine brighter than the truth is.

So my question to you ScaViEr... Where are we really, with LFS? Is there really a promising release in the nearby future. And are you certain that if what ever update comes... you will be able to make progress on an acceptable pace? I respect that you're lifes have changed with several other priorities. But please don't say that because of things in life you have only been able to release clutch and engine wear simulation, a Formula BMW, open configs and virtual 3D support ever since 2007. Even if considered the tyre physics. Because don't get me wrong I am not insulting you. But this is just not reasonable to us, your customers, your loyal fans. And I just hope you can find joy back in your work in LFS. Because it's still something special. And I have been very saddened by slowely seen the population take a dive.

All very nice!

Thanks for the feedback

Hey Everyone,

I've started making simple edits of older Formula One races and decided to start with the 2000 season.

The first 2 videos are ready. Eventually the complete 2000 Season will be covered.

Round 1 Australian Grand Prix - Music Highlights Video by W7U Videos


Round 2 Brazilian Grand Prix - Music Highlights Video by W7U Videos


Hope you like them! I welcome feedback.


Best of regards,
Rocky / Walter

Amen to that Scawen!

Just stick with your own way of work. Because this is how this great sim was born.

I really respect you three for not giving in on LFS!

Thanks for your reply, maybe it was indeed a temporary connection issue in uploading, because it did download everyhing.

Dear,

After driving a lot of kilometers on my private server today, I have noticed my LFS World Distance to not be updating (In other words, it did not add the kilometers that I had driven there). Eventhough people could connect to the server, and /w commands worked, so it couldn't have been on my end.

Is there possibly an error with LFSW which causes my stats to not be updated?

Thanks in advance!

Happy birthday Scawen! May you enjoy a peacful and fun day.

Have you tried removing Logitech Profiler completly, as well as removing the G27 from Hardware Devices. And then before replugging, to install Logitech Profiler again, and then connect the G27 via another USB port?

This helped for me with my previous G27.

Dear Kannan,

If you want several cars, in your demo situation being either XFG, XRG or FBM...

You type /cars XFG+XRG+FBM or for example /cars XFG+XRG

Hope it works!

Good luck!

Quote from Gunn :

I hadn't lapped on Westhill for a while, so last week I spent an hour there in various cars. I improved all my lap times which was nice, but I had a good look around as well and absorbed the feel of the place so that when the update comes to the Westhill racing environment the difference is more of a kick in the nuts rather than just a slap in the face. Can't wait for the update

This is a good idea Thanks for inspiring me

I've already posted my thankfulness to Scavier in this topic, but I just want to thank Scawen in particular, because I really respect the way you keep your head cool with all this whining going on.

Scawen about the new tyre physics that you are eventually going to work on. Will also tyre blow-outs (flat tyres) occur more "randomly" for example cutting it on a curbstone, aswell as it being graphicly more visible? (For example, if in F1 a tyre used to go flat or blow out, you can see the tyre thread loosening.) Because this would really enhance the feel of realism for me. Because realitisc tyre physics is amazing, but it would bring a whole new dimension into it if the tyre blowouts and flats, would also have a new level of realism. Because as far as I know, no single Simulator has yet got such realism in flat tyres.

Scavier... Looks absolutely stunning!

Can't wait to try it out, but take your time, practice makes perfect.

And Scawen, thanks so much for the continious progress reports, I really like this.

Great video! Well done!

I'll try to be there, I'd like to pre-occupy my spot already but server is still passworded.

Guys do we really need to discuss another game then LFS, on the LFS forum, in the LFS General Discussions in a topic concerning a great LFS update which is to come.

Ofcourse AC is a great game, but I think if we want to discuss that, we should remain to off-topic. Cause on-topic is LFS.

Oh my word, now I am really looking forward to the new Westhill. The fact that Eric is working on even more "dummy roads" should make it fabulous.

And as someone replied here, it would possibly make for some epic rally layouts.

ScaViEr.... Thanks for the continous work on this piece of beauty.

Thanks for your work so far mate.

After a few years wait, I've made another Live for Speed Crashes, compilation video.

It features only online racing accidents. Most of them happened in 2012.

Music starring in this video:
Deponeye - Tick Tock


Enjoy!

Best of Regards,
Walter

P.S. The last LFS Crashes video dates back to 2010 and is visible down below:

I sadly do not have the funds to pay anything at the moments.

It's unfortunate that you ask money for it, but ofcourse every skinner has all the rights to ask something for his work, so I am not complaining.

Dear Skinners,

I would really love to see the Williams FW36, to be skinned for the FO8, both #19 as well as the #77.

I really like the simplicity yet the beauty of this livery.

Would a skinner pretty please make these skins for the Formula V8 for me (and assumingly many others)?

Thanks already!
