Words of blindness. I'm not optimistic against LFS anymore. Comparing the progress reports as of now, and the one a year before I see no difference. That was useless to say, I was hoping for something new as in 2007 when Y was released, though it didnt come. If you want perfect tire model, then we won't expect any patches released 'till the world is to the end, because it's pretty much impossible. You should just release content with some fresh tire physics, that are being improved by the time, piece by piece. That would surely make the game more exciting and fun, over more realistic physics. I think we are here to play, and entertain ourselves. If you want to be realistic go out to the world and drive something in real life. I think you are afraid of releasing the patch 'cause the community would think that in those well spent 2 years, you won't be able to show up anything to us.

EDIT : In all that time, you could of redone every dds textures to higher resolution.
