Quote from F.C.Barcelona :

let's be honest the graphic update is basically to attract new players because the veterans of place will continue using lfs even with the obsolete graphics..

so that the young guys and potential future licence buyers do not spend their post-holiday saved money on a new title it is crucial to launch the update as soon as possible

Not gonna lie, even the hype of the update has had me back wanting to race some LFS...

It seems on https://www.lfs.net/screenshots there are a few new images from Blackwood that were not shown in the report.

Indeed but there is currently some troubles on this page : many screenshots are not available at my level ^^ , while they were some times ago
edit : and you post things like this, and instantenously it is fixed

Would be cool to finally have LFS being relevant again in the simracing scene

@ Scawen,
Any idea, when you could show us the rest of the updated tracks.
And if there are other updates/fixes aswell beside the graphical update.

For a while, we would like to release a few more pictures each month.

It may be that we show one track in each monthly report.

And sometimes a little more information to go with the pictures.

Sounds good! My eyes are ready.

I'd be curious about some 360deg stereo images. Be able to load them into a VR viewer as well. (see: https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/ansel/view-ansel-360 )

approoved
would you be kind to share some hints for the next track to be shown ?

No, the existing shots of AS, AU, WE and RO don't count.

This process is going to be a while yet.

So the work with the shaders isn't done yet ? the result in the pictures isn't final ?

Quote from lfsrm :

It was never stated that the screenshots we see are the final versions. That's why it's called a 'Progress Report'! If the work was finished, I'm sure devs wouldn't just sit on the new version

Obviously I'm not just sitting here waiting for Eric to finish the tracks. I'm working very hard every day on all the things that need to be done, and I believe that once a month I might be able to think of one or two interesting things to say, maybe something I thought of or something I've been working on.

I'm just saying, although each progress report will be mainly some pictures of a track, I should hope to add a few words about something else, occasionally.

That sounds great! Thank you!

Thanks for your work! But can this mean that there is enough time to finish physics and combine new graphics and physics builds in one?
Or will it be a separate update of new graphics and tracks?

time will tell, as for separating physics and graphics ...
But having a global delivery would be awsome ^^
Good luck guys !
NB : hope the rain is planned and implementable in the future . As seeing how beautiful are the sun reflection on Blackwood's roads snapshots, I just dream of the same with rain ^^

Cool News!

I hope you also show us some pictures with vehicles (outview)

Sounds good Scawen. Maybe it'll be motivating not only for us reading, but also for you writing . As a side example, I do not play rF2 at all (or very very rarely), but I do enjoy reading their every month report.

I know what you mean, it's always fun to see the behind the scenes stuff, especially when it's solving an issue. It can give the readers a stronger sense of respect to the devs too if they had to solve something tricky.

I'm itching for the next update now lol

Our Rockingham progress report is now available!
