Well, that's interesting to hear that S3 will not be out anytime soon.
Personally, I've known about this sim and been playing it on and off (I usually come back when a new patch is out, hehe) for a few years. I can't remember what version it was when I first found out about it, but I'm pretty sure it was S1 and the cars had no visible damage model.
Just wanna add that it's definitely my favourite racing sim and I always love it when it gets updates. My only problem is while racing is fun, I don't want to do it 24/7, as sometimes I'd rather just drive casually through the city streets, as in real life. If there was a game with open ended roads like GTA or Test Drive Unlimited, but with the exact LFS physics model, I would just die from excitement. I'd probably pay $200 to drive around the TDU island with LFS physics... Anyway.
I've wanted to get an S2 licence since a while ago, probably a year ago when I got my first job and a G25... But I've always held back because I felt $50 was kinda steep and I thought S3 was just around the corner. I thought there'd be no way they'd be charging $75 for a PC game when S3 was out, and there'd probably be some discount...
Looks like there will never be one. Maybe if there was one, I would jump in right away as I did with the Orange Box when they had a 25% off sale. Not that LFS isn't worth $50, as I'd love to support the devs and I love the sim, but I just wouldn't play it enough to justify the price at this point... Kinda busy with other things atm.
Wow, can't believe my first post here turned out to be this long haha. Guess that's how I say hi. So hi. From a long time lurker, one who still hasn't taken the plunge, but now that Scaven said S3 is far off I might just as well stop waiting for it.
