Actually i played Gpl non stop for years until last year when all the tracks i love were converted to Rfactor....(like isle of man,grand de turini(monde carlo),le mans...etc )
-Also there are hd remakes for the cars and tracks for Gpl !!!
(You must download the new modified core version and then you download all the cars and tracks )
And about falcon...After lock on falcon is ancient history...Especially now that flaming cliff 2 has released (Its actually a full game -don't let the name full you that it is just a second expansion pack for lock on....)
My 3 years old laptop CAN'T run LFS even on medium details! Sometimes I get too low FPS on start. I don't have money for another laptop/desktop. So I am against this. You can use modded dlls and other nice looking "user-patches" to make your LFS look beautiful. I think that 50% of people don't own gaming machine(s) like you do.
Think about this fact and users too. Thanks
Not everything is built for old computers.. You don't need a great gaming computer to play with this game.. If your laptop is three years old and experiencing all those problems then that is not LFS's fault, That is your computer, And you should seek a upgrade, With newer technology the d evs have the right to make it have specs that only 4 cross-fired GTX285's from Nvidia can run at 5 FPS.. It's really their call.
but you have to realize that developers of any software (incl games) cannot develop thier products for x years old computers when current hardware provides many more opportunities...but imho lfs is not very well optimized for hardware, especially graphics
just no videocard.. lets be able to play with the integrated in the motherboard one ? come on guys.. do you play the new games like GRID (its not even new..) or upgrade your PC for upcoming F1 2010 ?
lol , from what i see, the one that was shown in the screenshots, is a 2008-2009 Sirocco model ..
by the time it will be introduced to LFS, it will be already outdated and replaced by a newer model from Volkswagen, and we will have to wait for another 4-5 years of physics and tires "adjustment" to see some screenies of it at first
after all, with everything that is available, it could be much more easier to make an accurate model of some older car .. like Audi QUATTRO from the end of the 80's or some Lancia Delta
