LFS S2 Alpha
In a recent post, Scawen posted one of the most important posts of time.

It’s not known whether it’ll be called Patch Y or X14… rumors have it it’ll be called Patch Y.

This Post sums up of what the update will contain, but I strongly recommend that you watch the Movie Scawen uploaded.

This patch contains a new car for S2, the BMW Formula FBO2. It also contains improved physics, a retouch of the BlackWood GP Track, which looks great! Another great feature added is the AI’s which can now exit from the pits! They will also be smarter, in which Scawen explained that the AI’s now factor their tire wear and other little details. Mentioned in the video, the engine can now overheat, this adds to the realism since now players will have to factor engine heat into their racing.

For S2 players, South City has been vastly improved in graphics, from what is seen by the video, the course looks amazing, and seems to have been refreshed with new textures.
Info about the movie, Scawen gets to drive the Formula BMW FBO2 which is known as the V1. Scawen is a Pro! Compare the V1 with is LFS model, exactly alike; no doubt this’ll be one of the best patches yet!

Fantastic, brilliant work! LFS continues to grow into a vast network; this’ll be our Christmas Present!


Great Work Dev’s!!!, Just imagine what LFS S3 will bring us….!

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all!

2008: the Year LFS will evolve to LFS S3!

Not sure bout that :P but yeah it does seem like an amazing patch. I was expecting crash physics changed I dunno if that is changed. (I know there is some changes in the physics but what about crashs and damage to the car?)

Wasn't that said that car damaging with flying parts would be added for shure but not before S3? But who knows ...

Anyway, we'll see that soo: 28 days left to the redline

Edit: In This post, he said: "Improved Collision Detection".

True true, I can't wait!

Lol 2008 IS the year it evolves, or so I'm Begging it will be!

And I doupt s3 is anywhere close lol but I really hope they make crash's more realistic because it looks weird when your XRT is smashed in at the back but the rear bumper is still hanging on.

No, he did NOT say that - he said clutch heat, not engine heat.

Who knows, maybe it'll be there but he did not specifically mention it.

Also, take what I was listing with a grain of salt, I was only recording what other people noticed, although Scawen has said in the past that the Collision detection he wanted to improve soon.

Can anyone link me to the original thread posted by scarwen
and the video he uploaded..

Here it is : Click

Why is everyone so ready for S2 to evolve into S3? Personally I'm happy with the away development is going, and if it takes them until 2010 to put the S3 name onto the game then that will be 100% fine by me, as long as there are updates like there have been...

Since the patch isn't released yet, shouldn't it be called a preview?

and why do we need another thread about the new patch?

Because one or two threads can't handle all the excitement.

lol maybe ur right

lol yeah

As I said before .. can't wait

I just hope that by patch Z they atleast implement brake fade on the street cars and brake "green" fade on the race cars...

but the bot AI improvements are much needed and I glad to see they addressed it in the upcoming "Y" patch! Scawen also did mention briefly something about some minor/various physics tweaks, any idea what this might be?
