In calendar it shows on Sunday, 3rd.. On that sunday is already two events, so saturday would work much better.
in my opinion is very bad and good s3 come out just with one track.
-the good way is we (LFS USERS) know what happen here around free updates etc... and we want buy it to see more S3 content in future.
-the bad way is this update in eyes from people driving first time LFS , i dont think new drivers pay 17euros just for one track ,especially in LFS.
i go buy it in 2 or 3 days anyway
i love LFS , thank you for new track.

Oh, come on. We live in the world where pre-ordering games become a trivial thing. You pay a lot of money and get nothing until whole product will come out.
In case of LFS S3 you already get content that already done, and there will more things later. I think it's a better deal than most publishers and companies offers these days.

It's at the top right. You can go there from the back of the pitlane area via the access road.
use the road going off the track
For those complaining about the cost to content ratio. Ive compiled a list of HALF of what we had FREE after paying £12 at the release of S2. I may break the forum, or it may not fit the post so bare with me..... (broke it, 20,000 characters the limit, time for 2 posts!

Good news for those who like LFS and want to thanks to devs with a little contribution, hopefully we will see more content and also an update for the old ones.
I will try to get this S3 if I can pick a deal with someone outside of the country, thanks to the gouvernement who closed exchanges with outsides economie because of the oil crisis, it will be very difficult to find a way for purchasing things from now...

Ok, O cant even get X-Z down to less than 20,000 characters. So stop looking at now and think of the future. You get a LOT for your money!
Holy crap! Never thought I'd actually get to use the £12 I prepaid ages ago. Guess I was wrong.
Now while I agree that Rockingham by itself is probably not worth that, it's kind of ridiculous just how much people over-exaggerate the actual value of that amount of money respectively undervalue the worth of software in general. That's like a single restaurant visit. Seriously.

I can perfectly understand people who think these days £12 is way too expensive for single track.
And I think it will be for Scavier easier, if you don't count on future updates, let them surprise you (or not), but take it as it is, S3 is single track (today).
Also I think the S2 for £24 is quite cheap, PC games of this quality used to be more expensive.
Anyway, recently I buy only cheap old games on GOG, so I have little idea how the modern games are sold...
so... wait a second, it says "S3 licensed" under my nick?! Oh well... let's just say I'm willing to support Scawen's family and it's Xmass, blah blah blah.
Anyway, I hope every S3 player will make the people who stay on S2 feel still welcome, I really can understand their decision, especially as the further development of LFS will be never ever as fast, as it was at the beginning. The new tracks require much more effort than S1 tracks, it goes in similar way for cars, and on the code side it's *even worse*, pretty much everything simple and easy was already done, and things will get only more difficult and more complex.
@Scawen:
Maybe you could specify some goal, like "S3 is not guaranteed, but we plan to include 2 tracks + 3 cars under S3, if ever finished."? That may take some of uncertainty from the users. Also I think you can somehow reflect the inflation, and bigger complexity of S3 quality content, so *I* will be not shocked, if S3 upgrade is smaller in numbers than S2. Just state it like that, most of the people here will understand, some other wouldn't understand anything, no matter what would you do.
@Rockingham reverse: most of the RL tracks have banned reverse configurations because of safety measures, all the run-off zones are usually planned only in single direction, and the service roads, railings gaps, emergency scenarios, etc... everything is usually planned and verified only for proper direction. So you can take that reverse omission as "playing it real". It sort of doesn't make sense in computer game, but as LFS is *simulator* in the first place... Just use the layout...
Oh, and BTW, thanks for another great update! Already looking forward for next one.
And I think it will be for Scavier easier, if you don't count on future updates, let them surprise you (or not), but take it as it is, S3 is single track (today).

Have a look now...I keep forgetting that the new calendar is automatically in local time, and since I set everything in UTC FIRST, then I forget to convert it! Fixed now
:o
I'm glad I checked the forum today. Can't wait to race on RO tonight.
And I can't believe the amount of whiners. Ridiculous.
Yeah, this is so obvious that it hurts that so many people don't get this. Obviously, the devs will think twice about guaranteeing anything after all the drama about "undelivered promises" over the last years.

/ws ro11 bf1 wr - returns RO1 BF1 WR
You don't say
I was like ok I might download this and update the old LFS and test it out. Then, S3, have to buy it... lolol no way Scawen, no way, not for 12GBP, never spent a penny on LFS (won S2), not gonna start now. I get it, you need the cash but the amount of useful updates this game gets is about one in a decade. Laser scanned in 2008 you say... ok 2010 released the latest, but come on, it's almost 2016 and no signs of the xmas Scirocco either that has been announced in 2008.
This sim is dead and most people are loooooong time GONE.
DANIEL-CRO:
Nice tunnel drive, but I'm afraid that is only possible in LFS's "sim physics"
I doubt it would go so smooth with a real F1 in that tiny tunnel.
The kerbs have been updated to match the new sausage kerbs in the real track that were changed a couple of years after the laser scan (you can compare the original/new screenshots)
As Dave said, some of the textures seem to have been improved as well, though I haven't actually done any side-by-side comparisons.

I have found a small InSim bug - IS_VER.Product returns S2 instead of S3, even when Rockingham was loaded from the config file.
Guys, you should also remember when you talk about future addons, that first in queue is VWS which was promised as S1 content.
Holy smokes, S3!
I'll have to do some wrist exercises to be able to drive with my mouse again.

Scawen,
Can you upload the track bitmaps (top down view image) for Rockingham?
Thank you.

Great work!!
When I saw those tunnels, that was my first thought!! You beat me to it though
For a quick download, the compressed JPG : http://img.lfs.net/remote/maps/RO.jpg
Or the full RO.tif in a 9 MB zip file : https://www.lfs.net/file_lfs.php?name=RO_TIF.zip
I've uploaded the updated TRACKS_TIF.zip now as well.
