I hope Scawen added code to blow the engine after a couple of laps, wouldn't be real enough without a huge cloud and oil on the track... it's a BMW :-)

bad, BulliT...

It's really coOL to see LFS "connected" to BMW

Will the new F1 car have grooved tyres like the real-life version or full slicks?

grooved tires, but it's only a texture.

Unless between now and Friday Scawen refines his tyre generation code to include the grooves. If anyone can Scawen can

LFS and BMW team up excellent if they are impressed i hope they let the boys make some of the older beemers for the game (E30 Fan Club memeber) lol

it says 2 now. but nothing else changed.

ohhh it says 2 now, but nothing new

i feel like someone mentioned that before

Doh. I was hoping they would continue teasing with the "daily updates".

oh well :|

visually? yes.

the car is only polygons also.

oh, and the textures are only pixels.

same here

Nah, it would absolutely murder the poly count. If you imagine that the top surface of the tyre is maybe 3 polys 'wide' at the moment (to allow for a bit of bulge) to make a 4 grooved tyre, you need at least 17 polys for each radial segment.

Fair point. Would be nice though. Am happy enough as it is though

I see the countdown page says "Drive the BMW Sauber F1.06 in 3 days" still... so I guess we are still getting something later.

LFS hardly use high ammount of polygones and with todays graphic cards its not problem at all.
It even wouldnt be a problem for even older cards.

Another approach is bump mapping....LFS cant do that sadly.

Fizzix-wise, the grooves will be present
