Make sure you got no unnecessary canned effects turned on in the profiler.
Usually these are told to be good for lfs:
Options -> Global Device Settings
Overall Effects: something over 100% (102-107% should be plenty)
Spring Effect: 0%
Damper Effect: 0%
Enable Centering Spring Tickbox: On
Centering Spring Strength: 0%
Report Combined Pedals Tickbox: Off
Degrees of Rotation: 720° (Or whatever you like, 900° isn't really needed since the max for LFS is 720)

I would disagree on that. The people are still there you see that on signups for other leagues, it's just harder to get them out and driving, especially now in the summer months. While throwing together a signup and some informations a few weeks before the event would've been enough a few years ago, it just doesn't cut it any more today.
Well, if you're realistic, the organisation for this years 16 hours was pretty rushed (to put it nicely), at least it seemed that way from my perspective. I would think that is the main reason for the low attention it got...
Because they're Germans!
I'm the first to point fingers at people singing up for a league in full knowledge of the calendar and their own schedule, if you know you wont be there after round 1 or 2 then don't sign up. But it's too easy just blaming that, we had that happen in LFS' heyday already and still managed to get the league finished with 25+ racers.
I do think you see that the big healthy core of mediumish fast league racers is missing, those are the people that will make a league a success, yes you need the aliens for competition sake and to attract other aliens but those are not the guys making a league strive, it's the lot that is driving around in 10th to 20th position still having a blast even though they're not racing for the win but just because it's fun having good racing in a controlled environment, those are the people that will come back no matter the position they end up in.
And here is where you probably need to put some of the blame to organizers too, all I see these days is prequalifying for high attendance leagues with a 32 slot maximum. That is forcing the issue we got to an extend, if you got 50 sign ups and 30 of them are "medium to fast aliens" why should the midfielder even try to PQ, he is fully aware that he will be missing at least 2 or 3 rounds when attendance is still high and then is welcome to pick up the scraps after the initial hype drops.
Maybe it's worth looking at leagues that still work after countless of years. Take the cityliga for example, the German community is in a limbo state since years but still they manage to get 60+ sign ups every year on a 3 server grid, because they try to cater to fast, medium and "slow" people, everybody is welcome to have some fun and take part in the complete season no matter where they end up qualifying. If attendance drops the grid gets filled with people from the second and third server. Even though not everything is perfect there, it is a system that still works up to today.
edit: Some good points from PMD too, although I would've liked to see them in a proper sentence.
With the ddos problems we had and sites taken for granted dying a painful death, a drop of commitment (from racers and organizers) is sadly to be expected.

Why must it always be this or that Sim? I don't think you need to "commit" to any single one, just play what you like who cares which combination of Sims you prefer.
I doubt Assetto will be very feature complete when it comes out anyway, there is stuff we got in LFS that is missing in other Sims and we miss stuff in LFS that other Sims got since Day 1. Thats just the way it is, you will never find the perfect one that can do it all. To answer your question, no I don't think I will remove LFS from my hard disk any time soon, it just does too many things right to get rid of it, even with all it's shortcomings.

Is it, I thought that was just the GP track? I don't think the laser scanned Nordschleife exists.
That wasn't confirmed anywhere, the ring was spotted on gamescom but I very much doubt it's laser scanned. Also no mention of it since.
According to swiss news Sauber is on the brink of bankruptcy, they're a couple of million Swiss Franks in debt and are now being officially prosecuted for 1.2 Million CHF by a group of creditors.
Peter Sauber was on Swiss TV on sunday explaining that sallary is still being paid but money for daily operations is drying up quickly, they would have updates for the cars ready in theory but can't afford to produce them. He also mentioned that they're in talks with some big sponsors (rumour is gazprom) and may be able to announce something in the next few weeks.
There's also rumours that Hulk already cancelled his Contract but keeps driving for Sauber because he would have no drive otherwise.
Not looking good.

Last rumours point to september-october release, price tag about 40-45€, we should get preorder infos soon (you get free dlc if you preorder).
As of yet confirmed car and track list: http://www.racedepartment.com/ ... car-and-track-list.52638/

Only thing I could think of that you may be missing write access to some of the lfs config files maybe? Where did you install LFS to, you sure LFS can actually save it's files?
Set "Lock" to yes in Options -> Controls -> Axes / FF
edit: After you properly calibrated the controls that is.

According to french eurosport simonson died in hospital 
My old headphones are falling apart, was time for new ones.
More teasing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?f ... mbedded&v=5qfpMLUwtus
Not confirmed anywhere, the community found a picture of the Nordschleife in the Techdemo and it was also featured in some video from Gamescom, but nothing official as of yet.
Thanks, looked interesting enough to make me go through the sign up process
Aston sucked in the wet, in the first hour after the restart alone he lost 2 full minutes and about 8-10 positions because everything was so close together.
We're going back racing in 30min!
Seems like we have to wait a bit longer.
