As you know, currently in LFS, there are no settings for the details like low, medium, high, etc, like in other games, instead, there's shadows on/off, LOD, skies on/off, wheels on/off...
With my current hardware (Athlon XP 2500+, 512ddr, and Radeon 9550) i can play LFS with all those things ON and high, i have AA on 2X, and i use high res community addons including my own ones.. and i mostly have no problems(excpet with the large grids with 20+ cars, FPS can get bellow 20)..
But the problem is, if we get some graphical update in the future, many people couldn't play it, because i don't think that turning the LOD all the way down, switching the shadows off, etc would make that much of a difference, we need proper graphical settings, like LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or some slider that actually do something (not like LOD slider), so that people with powerfull PC's could enjoy it in full details, and people with low end PC's could still play it..
This turned out in Improvement suggestion now , but my main question would be, how many of you could handle a better graphics, how many couldn't and how many would be willing to invest in better hardware in order to continue playing LFS?
I am definately for the third option (If devs don't manage to make better use of graphic detail settings), i would definately upgrade my PC for LFS, no question about it..
I could make a poll, why not..
