Hi all
,
I bought an S3 a few days before the announcement of LFS mod support. I specify it because this announcement does not have much repercussions here. Maybe people who just bought an S3 specifically for modding could come up and say so here? It might be helpful. The future of LFS depends on it, since it is the new strategic development priority.
Personally, after playing almost anything that looks like a car simulation since Codemaster's Toca2, I stopped all simracing activity in 2013. For my return to the tracks, I decided to race exclusively on LFS. This is for a number of reasons unrelated to modding and its promises of novelty (although that interests me too).
I had known LFS since its first playable version. I got the S2 when it was released. This game amused us for a while with my son and his friends. But I had never really played it before. Today I have a hard time putting my hands anywhere other than the steering wheel of my FZ50 GTR ... This game is absolutely incredible. A game has never given me so much pleasure. In terms of graphics and physics, I don't know of a game that does so well with such low hardware requirements.
LFS has been improved. But LFS has not been revolutionized over time. The player that I am today is just very different from the one I was in the early 2000s. For example, today I would be unable to enjoy playing on a corner of the table in front of a screen of 15 ''. I would rather rip my left eye out with a fork dipped in vinegar than reinstall Steam on my computer. And I'm no longer willing to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade my gaming hardware, even if I can ...
The world of simracing has changed a lot since the 2000s. This gives LFS a new place. Today LFS is more than ever a game of the future.
So I was wondering if it would not be interesting to open a topic on the theme: What kind of simracer are you today, in 2021?
I leave it to the moderators and developers (and more generally to those who have more experience of this forum than me,
that is to say everyone in fact) the care of judging the interest of this subject.
Here, everyone has their say on everything, everywhere. This is the principle of the forums (I even saw some nice grandpas chatting alone in their corner
). But beyond the primordial interest that this subject would have for anthropologists of the future, this would make it possible to synthesize the profiles and wishes of LFS runners. They could tell there why they like this game? How do they play it? What are their short-term expectations?
Time flies. Before you die (and while waiting for the complete game overhaul which will probably take a few more years since testing mod support will definitely be more time consuming than expected) I guess like me many of you would like to prioritize some minor improvements but very essential for new players to become interested in or come back to LFS.
Good race everyone and forgive me for my kindergarten English
