really?

Rain definatly! I think with S3 (probably even more detail than S2) the spray would look good. How about Rain and Fog??? That would be good!!!

I would like WET NiGHTS, that would be cool.

When I was a teenager, I would have wet nights fairly occasionally

*sorry, cheeky mood*

LOL! Good 1

I'm really sorry guys, but these topics make no sense.
According to the spped of LFS development, projected lights will be introduced not before 2033, and wet weather after 2050.
Scawen is working alone, no way this could happen before.
PS: who said to him, he MUST work alone? They don't have enough money to pay salaries???

It's a choice, not a restriction.

Rain ofcourse, it allows those who arent usually front runners to come through and shine.

A good example of wet weather simulation is GP4, I used to love driving Monaco in torrential rain with lovely full distorted reflections off the water in the road, and then eventually a dry line would appear that would actually give you more grip.

If you combined the dynamic weather and track textures of GP4 with the more realistsic skies and lighting of LFS it would make fantastic wet weather driving.

Another important thing would be to make painted kerbs and lines extra slippery as they are in real life as water cannot seep through them like asphalt, it flows over the top making them extra slippery.

Standing water casuing aquaplaning also, and making the racing line slipperier than the outside of the track, because the racing line has no marbles on it, when it rains it has less grip.

Spray that actually comes off the wheels and out the bottom of the car would be nice too, not just pathetic grey clouds that spawn somewhere behind the car like in most sims.

If there was anything I could do, I'd work on LFS for them for nothing!

What my boy friend said

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

MY VIEW IS THIS: im thinking rain would be awesome in lfs, and adds a more realistic experience to lfs. besides Trakah123 made a night mod that could do for now, this again would solve the rain + night issue in question... you get 3 unlocks pr week. download 2 .exe and make 2 folders. one original, and one with night mod. unlock those as usual, but only have one .exe open at the time. :-) goes for all mods. you only will need to make more folders.... but rain i think is very much needed in lfs.

I forgot to read the other posts...

Payable unlockable mode as lets face it to learn lfs in dry day time is task in its self.

As with other people. Rain & night would ideally have to come as a package with air temperature.

In my oppinion(and I have limited knowledge) it's too much a task for one person with a family to build this any time soon.

For the poll I chose rain as that seems easier for now.

I would assume better damage modelling would be next on his list.

Such a daunting task to keep developing this game though with such few staff.

I don't see why they don't outsource some of the tasks for LFS. I know there are people who would want to develop, at the very least, tracks. But they could probably let someone else develop some of the code too.

beacause they need to communicate very well and not get any content leaks.

i chose wet weather driving because at night all the racetrack dudes do are flip on a bunch of lights and its blueish daylight. but wet road conditions are totally diffrent. YOU SLIP AND STUFF! so yeah.


EDIT: there is a night mod for LFS anyway (linky for download ---->) http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=1664

Wet please! Or at least wet weather textures.. supprised that hasnt been done already considering the other texture mods out there.

I would like to get fog and night

Id like to see both but but hmm a hard choice

well here we go

wet weather. but then again night would be better for me as i anit really mastered going forword on a dry day track lol (well im not that bad)

Rain and dynamic sky.


As a passenger in real life i like to watch how clouds stay behind you...

I would like to see changable weather you see on other racing games so it gives an edge of more realism to a racing sim as good as LFS.

Problem is that the LfS developement works like democracy in the USA. Meaning it doesn't.

isnt u.k. a moarchy?

Please stop it, I'm crying.

i want both weather is lfs.

Oh I just see he's american

When i first saw this thread i thought that its about real life. I voted for night, me very damn likes to drive at night. But it could be fun to drive on wet track also. (Havnt tried, only on mud )

Wet weather for me...

I think it would be nice, because pneus are cooling faster on wet road(all drifters will love it ),and ofcourse more difficult handling...

Problem is that u ll probably need some new tires for cars with slicks = more work for developers...

I'd prefer wet weather, but I don't expect it to happen (at least not any time soon). For a truly realistic simulation of wet conditions, it would require dynamic weather, and also dynamic track conditions. This is an enormous task, to say the least. I think it would basically require a complete rework of the entire game physics/engine.

I wouldn't mind a more simplistic rain simulation though, just with less grip and some spray/rain effects. I imagine even that would take a huge amount of work though.
