Quote from SamH :

I don't know if anyone else did, but I contacted the Design World publication editor. I had a pleasant back/forth with the guy, who promised to make changes to the online publication. That appeared in a statement at the top of the page, with a link to lfs.net.

I don't want to suggest that FESTO were deliberately trying to mislead, and it could all have been an error or misunderstanding in the transfer from company to publication, but whether deliberate or not, I felt that it was inappropriate to leave it unaddressed. LFS is an indy product, and it needs all the recognition it can get. If people see the FESTO seat and like the car simulator aspect of it, but can't afford the whole package, why should LFS be denied their opportunity for a sale?

Good job

There are about 20 different LFS web site's so far. There must be millions of people who fined out about LFS every day!!

Quite interesting that site has "games" section just right next to F1, DTM and others.

Mini report from Polish LFS Drift Practice supported by Driftingo

Although I don't like drifting, I must admit that you made some really nice screens there! :up:

Live for Speed is featured in the most current issue of the German GameStar magazine. It is featured in there among other games in the first article about the current GameStar League season.

Picture of the article can be found here: http://static.4players.de/lfs- ... nts/files/img.php_240.jpg (Picture made by Edvin "TNH" Zec of #low-racing)

Translation (of the relevant parts):
The Fanatec Live for Speed premier league found its 30 elite drivers. In a dramatic qualification they were able to secure their place in the highest class of the GameStar League. In the first of 2 qualification groups, GT-A, The two LFS-drivers Hendrik von Eye and Johannes Scheuerle grimly fought for the first place - in the end, von Eye was able to claim it for him. In the second group, GT-B, things happened to be nothing less serious: With Nils Naujoks, one of the best LfS drivers in the world was on first place here. The level of skill in the qualification was generally very high: the driver on 16th place only missed qualification by a narrow 20 points.

[[ Stuff about money here; this season of GSL issues more than 30k € worth of cash- and non-cash-prizes; every driver who participates gets money for every race he/she participated in ]]

Game-TV broadcasts the thrilling matches live! The precise broadcast plan is accessible on the internet at www.game-tv.com. We wish the best of luck to all participants - and we hope our spectators will have a lot of fun.

Not any news though, but think I've seen similar pictures posted before.
Taken last December at a local shopping centre (Rocca al Mare Kaubanduskeskus <- for Estonians). It was situated at the furthest place possible at the centre. I was surprised to see it in Estonia, but had no time to try it.

Gamestar seems to take LFS really serious

I would've loved to participate in a competition like this

From the german forum. A pic on page 1 of the Nürnberger Nachrichten about a motion simulator shown on the Hannover Messe (world's biggest industry fair):

Unfortunately they didn't mention LFS though.

Hi Flo, thanks for the info... do you know who ran that?

For people to use LFS to present their hardware, we do give permission but we always give a condition that the LFS logo and website address are clearly displayed.

From that picture it looks like these people are just using LFS for their own benefit, and not giving us any exposure at all.

It is a company called FESTO (www.festo.com)

The simulator is called Airmotion_ride
http://www.festo.com/INetDomin ... 6acf3c12572b900703b19.htm


See it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvG5rxVeY5M

In their (linkt to->) PDF

"Airmotion_ride incorporate flight, helicopter, car racing and roller coaster simulations.
The car racing simulator is breaking new ground above all
in multi-player applications. Thanks to the excellent network
code, bumper-to-bumper duels can be staged either on the
Internet or in a local network of up to 23 players, who can drive
a wide assortment of cars all based on genuine vehicles."

They have photos of LFS in it but don't even mention it somewhere.
Sounds more like they build it.

Edit:
Airmotion_ride is now a product of:
VR PROJECT - Event-Management
Edelweiß Straße 8a
85591 Vaterstetten
www.vrproject.de (German)
They call it now
http://www.x6-simulator.com/index2.htm (English)
http://www.x6-simulator.com/en/x6_race.htm (lots of LFS Pics but no a single link to LFS.net)
and they use the BMW video as their "X6 Promotion Video"

eheh, it's the guys from "festo" once again, there was another discussion about them in this thread where some design magazine called lfs "a race car simulator designed by Festo Corp". they seem to forget to give credit for lfs a lot ^^

edit: damn beaten by the german

Even (in some of the video on the website) the ad banners in BL GP had been changed to "Festo". Modding is not forbidden I guess but seems really like they're unaware how it should be.

Thanks - we'll be in touch...
