Unless we're gonna start using Japanese character I believe patch Y is the next to last letter in the english alphabet. So what happens after Z? Patch AA? Patch ñ? Shall I dare say LFS Beta?

Your thoughts?

I believe 0.6A

AA, AB, .... ZZ

we have plenty of letters left

In Estonian we got "Õ", "Ä", "Ö", "Ü"... feel free to use 'em, Scavier

Or he could use æ, ø, å. Or maybe even ó, á and é.

Allow me a bit of redundancy as I repeat what I said in this thread which was about the very same subject about a year ago with patch U:

A choir of angels shall stream forth from the heavens and amidst harp music and angelic chanting a huge new letter will form in the firmament in fire and the whole of Britain will look upon it and say "what a bloody good idea - we needed a letter like that." And from that day on, Welsh roadsigns will make sense and be pronouncable by the non-Welsh.

Quote from Rappa Z :

I believe 0.6A

had I bothered to look a tad closer I would've realized that this is the most obvious solution.

Assuming we follow development from 0.6A-Z to 1.0 we've got about 105 more patches to go

thanks xaotik. sorry I didnt search

these are unsuitable - I can't pronounce them

The Welsh accent however, will remain a mystery.

Well, just say pie then.

S3!

Yeah sure lol xD
Trust me, if they desided to call the new patch after this one for S3 there will be some mayhem on the forum for sure!

Remember, 0.6 = S2 Final (like S1 = 0.3 and LFS Complete = 1.0), so I doubt it'll jump to 0.6A just yet.

Z1?

That would be a test patch.

I suggest using the Greek alphabet. People know it and it's pronouncable in other languages. Or just use umlauted characters where possible.

IIRC there have been several patches named like that and they weren't test patches.

Yup, test patches are quite a recent thing, and there have been plenty of official patches with a number after the letter.

That's actually not a great idea, because people won't understand the order (unlike with normal numbers and letters).


Let see now, I got Live For Speed 0,5 Omicron. Now is that newer version than Live For Speed 0,5 Upsilon?

It is easy for at least the first five though.

The other option is to name it after drivers i.e. Patch Ascari, patch Brabham, Clark, Delius,

X10 for one

Yeah, wait till we get to "S". If it's either Patch Senna or Patch Schumacher, it's going to be a flame war like no other

Patch Seaman. End of.

That's highly improbable...

None. I couldn't care less.
