i must have had well over 10000 miles. I had the demo for over a year, and played it frequently. Its great to have more then 3 cars, and some faster coompetition.
I probably had a lot, but I don't remember, it was a long time ago. I had demo for a while because I didn't have a credit card and my parents wouldn't buy it, however, as soon as a got a card, LFS was my very first purchase
I had thousand's of miles on the demo, and I bought a license the day... (or within a couple days at least)... I discovered lfs. The people I enjoyed racing with were still demo user's, so I spent most of my time on the demo until s2 was released and they all got a license.
I did about 30-60 laps a day at blackwood for about 2 months in Demo.
Too much content in Demo. I only bought S2 'cause DaveWS told me to. nvm, I managed to make some good Euros in Caribbean Cruise Server and buy him an XRT for all his efforts of late.
And btw: i want my life back. LFS has consumed it.
Lest see... S1 was version 0.3. I started when it was version 0.1k I think back in late 2002. Found the forum some time later in Feb 2003, and have been racing ever since. I have no idea how many miles I had before S1. I know have 42k miles since they started keeping track. If that is since the begining then I am averaging 10k a year in virtual reality and 20k a year in reality. I think I am driving too much.
Probably played for a week at the most, and not every night by any means, so perhaps 100 miles, if that? Mostly XRG, as that is a lovely little car, using my Red Momo...
No one knew me, I wasn't very quick, and it feels like a lifetime ago!
I've been playing LFS since S1 Patch E (december 2003) and I bought my licenses on the 21st of June 2005. That's one and a half year of demo addiction, must have been at least 15000 miles. I think that I had the same problems as most demo racers had back then : no credit card. I finally managed to get a mates dad to buy it for me, and I paid him the money.
I'd played the demo but was very bored very quickly; I thought it was just a car park with a hatchback!!!
I actually jumped straight in and bought S2 a long time afterwards because of comments/reviews about it when I was looking for something realistic. I didn't realise the two were the same game until I got S2, how bizarre is that?!
hard to say
i tried the demo test years ago ... kinda liked the weight shifts and the physics in general but there was something very wrong about it (now i know it was mostly the tyres) so i forgot about it after some 30 mins of playing
then some time after s1 came out (patch e or something like that) i gave it another 30 min whirl and decided it still wasnt up to par
and then 2 years ago a inet buddy told me there was a s2 demo ... ran it for a few mins with mouse ask a freind of mine if i could borrow his wheel ... raced a little more ans decided i had to have it (although i was still trying to convince myself not to buy it ... ended up preordering s2)
I had demo for about 4 months before i bought S1 way back then....I'd played for around a year before I bought S1, and I would guess had driven around 7.5k miles. Only lately have i been seriously doing any milagae, whilst practising one car/track for an upcoming endurance race, which since i have little experience in endurance is needed. My milage is growing every day
I found LFS when the S2 demo was out. Bought an S1 license the same day but didn't play it much because everybody was on the S2 demo servers, bought into S2 when it was released about 4 weeks later.
