Could be, I'm not sure. It's not exactly free either - you have to pay to enter.
In any case it doesn't say anywhere that they are using LFS.

Yeah I know about the terms of commercial use so I did inform the devs when I saw that in the summer Smile.

Quote from Cutie pie :Does "LFS in museums" count? Smile

Found this in Automuseum Prototyp Hamburg


Funny thing! I was there ~2 months ago! The car was underpowered XFG (to simulate an old car) with 4 gears. It had custom pedals (sadly no clutch) and a custom all metal clunky H shifter. It was quite fun.

The sad part was that the LFS there is quite old (check the minimap) and worst of all - they didn't say that it's LFS anywhere Frown!

I believe this thread would become a spam thread if everyone replied to that. I'm not helping it as I'm checking it everyday as well Big grin

It seems that many of you missed the point of the post. He does agree with you all that VOB mods that change the hitbox are not good for the community. He specifically said that it would be good to have a hitbox-check software or website where it could check and approve/disapprove mods. With that you wouldn't have the problem of weird collisions because of VOB mods.

I do agree that it's not a priority at all now. I don't think it's a good time to bring this up, Scawen needs to finish with the graphical update and hopefully with the tyre physics as well. After that and after getting the highest priority plans from the "to do" list it would be a good idea to have a discussion about this. Right now it's quite pointless I think.

In the end I do agree with TwinySkyline's idea about the website check. It would let people use their imagination and what's the problem if they have a car that THEY like without affecting anyone else? It's not like they force their car to be rendered on your screen. Saying that VOB modded cars are shit is a very stupid argument. They might be shit to you but who are you to judge other people's taste?

Quote from ShannonN :Reading about users liking alternative powered cars. We once had the raceabout a turbo petrol concept turned production this was never updated or followed up on. The last incarnation was indeed electric and capable of 140 + mph at Nürburgring.

Only Scawen knows why the LFS team did not update this car and the other "real life" cars to their latest incarnations.

Like I always wonder when the tyre physic updates etc are totally complete and we get the long awaited Scirocco, it will be discontinued. so are we going to get a vintage 10 year old Scirocco or the latest equivalent VW roadcar?

The team seems very vague and unclear on this question

I don't think Scawen can update the real life cars. I believe he has the license to recreate only that specific (2008?) Scirocco, that specific RaceAbout and so on.

Quote from fanatic :hi there, just checking in, still waiting for the new tire physics Smile

I'd say go through Scawen's latest posts, should be interesting Smile

Hey, a physicist can also be a doctor (of philosophy)!

Quote from Flotch :And as you suggest, do not hesitate to go onto some progress report thread existing, or create your own, to share whatever you feel interesting ^^

To add to this - if you don't want people to start spamming under a post(s) you create about progress, a great idea would be a locked thread where only you (devs overall) could post. I'm pretty sure the majority would be very thrilled to read some insights even if they are very minor Hug

Didn't read everything but yeah it feels like we're in a toxic community... Frown

A little insight from Scawen would be interesting!

Though it is interesting that the problem was noticed only after the new patch!

Scawen, I would suggest you to include that link on how to use the new layout editor in the news page. Might be helpful for someone who didn't follow the test patches.

Also, in the news page there's no new line between "Multiplayer" updates section and "Layout editor" updates section

E: Am I the only one who didn't receive news e-mail? The option is set to "yes, please" in the personal details.

This is off topic, not a general LFS discussion.
What exactly do you want us to rate? Colours, the cape or what?

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :Did you seriously post that? Logically that function just sucks.

What do you mean? That does actually sound logical. There's no reason to push this out now as the attacks have stopped if Scawen thinks something bigger can be introduced. Why make 2 consecutive test patches when he can make a bigger single one.

Quote from Flotch :New track to be released by Eric ... or new shadow system...

I may be wrong.

Now that's quite a speculation!
Though I kind of agree with that speculation Schwitz

May I ask what kind of limit was it? Did we just hit a limit on the amount of users?

Now that's a long list for a compatible (so far Cool) test patch Big grin

Wow guys nice way to create a toxic community. Do you really want to be like that? I'm all up for unbanning people who buy a license upgrade and giving them a second chance.

And MicroSpecV, saying "[...]community and isn't actually a bad person.[...]" is probably one of the worst things to say right here. The definition of "not a bad person" is way too broad and it feels as if you're saying that turbotron's friend is a bad person. Why is it that way? You're saying it's fair to unban Vano, he's not a bad person but you're resisting the unban of a person you don't know, as if he's a bad person.

Yeah my hopes have been steadily going up for a while now, everyday checking the forums to see what's going on. Interested! Tilt

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :The forum shows me as being the last to reply here, and I did reply to this, but my reply is not showing up.

Yeah there seems to be a bug in this thread, never noticed this happening elsewhere. It did say that you were the last to post but there was no post in the thread. But if you search your post history (link), it's actually there. Weird.

It's sad to see this going downhill Frown

Plus there are much more urgent things to do... There's no way Scawen can just give out details about future LFS, it's too dangerous. I wouldn't expect a fulfilling answer. I do believe that when the physics go out, LFS will enter a fun stage once again Smile
