Hi,
I read a few sample posts of this thread and... wow, I really didn't know that there is so much about these stages, alphas and alleged promises.
I've been following LFS' development for a long time. Even though I do not really race -- I'm just very much into physics and simulations -- I thought it was time to buy a license. But I never thought about any promises. They develop a quality product and I buy it. They go on, I buy it if I like it. Simple as this.
All this complaining about "only" one new car reminds me of DCS: Black Shark, a combat helicopter simulation. Even though the developers support the software with new features while working on the next module, some people complain: I want a gun when leaving the helicopter... come on, it's not a shooter.
"It's only one helicopter, too expensive... " Yes, it's only one helicopter, but one single of the various systems is more complex than a whole other game. Expensive is what the drinks are on the weekend, and all I have afterwards is a headache.
I'm really looking forward to every new development. Scirocco and Rockingham?! -- Sounds great!
Cheers, smurfer
