For me it looks like as if this aero thing was never really tought-to-the-end and yet too early to be brought to lfs.

For me it looks like as if your posts were never really thought-to-the-end and yet too early to be brought to this topic. You already know that we are using an alpha version and S2 isn't released yet. You already know you are using an incompleted aero model. You know it is not perfect because it is not yet complete. So why keep harping on about it as if it is some great surprise to you? You know it is being fixed yet you sound like you have been a part of the community for about five seconds.

Nothing has been brought early to LFS, rather we have been given the opportunity to use the alpha version and participate in the testing as a community. The software was at a stage where the devs believed that we would enjoy the new features. A stage where the alpha was a usable, if yet incomplete, S2. At the time of the Alpha release the devs identified where main improvements would be needed and stated:

By "alpha", we mean that everything is in place but not necessarily 100% refined or complete. So nearly all features that will be in the future Final version of S2 are there already, but there will be updates to physics, car models, track scenery, and refinement of features, between the Alpha and Final releases.

For those who have difficulty finding such information, or claim that nobody has told them that physics would be updated, just trot along to the main page of the LFS web site and read a little. Now you know that things like physics, cars, tracks and other features will be refined and that even more features are likely to be included in the final release of S2 where is the logic in asking if these things will be updated? We know the answer is "yes". We know that the devs already have identified issues then and since.

For those who like to complain about the time scale, the devs have always been up front about the changeable nature of the development and the impossibility of setting sure deadlines. I hate seeing people acting like they've been cheated or misled. The devs told us their plans and philosphy for the race sim, I know most people accept that open approach. Even if many people don't like waiting, we have little to complain about. All the "big" patches have blown everyone away simply because they were quality changes that weren't rushed through to please the masses. Where's the logic in complaining about how long it is taking?

If people can't keep their pants on long enough to wait for Scawen and Eric to do their thing then they should perhaps go and enjoy one of their other titles for a while until things are as they like them? I'm sure there are plenty of semi-satisfying rCade games to wile the hours away. Or as a completely novel approach, reading some topics on the forum can kill some time and as a bonus provide information that negates the need to complain about the bloody obvious.
