No, I don't think so. Not anymore. Reasons are mentioned above. The thing with Scirocco is... Well, it's original release date was more that 18 months ago. If they had released it then, maybe that would have been the last nail on my demo-era's coffin. Now it's just pure curiosity (how long can it take?). By the way, are there some news about Scirocco? I haven't checked to the forums for a long time.
Man, I told you (several times?): I was out of the scene for a long time. I heard someone talking about LFS and thought I should check to the LFS Forum.
About the red part. Sorry, but I just can't understand what you're saying. If you're talking about my more-than-2-year-old post (I'm 18, 2 years make a difference) in the "Cars we wanna see in S3" thread, then read the topic's title again. It's not "Cars you (developers) have to put into S3". I was only making a suggestion. Even suggestions are prohibited for demo racers?
Wait, what? I think you have to read my post again. I said "I don't care about how many cars on how many tracks I can drive". Racing means competing with others. Of course I talked about playing online with FBM on BW1.
It sounds extremely lame but I don't think I need to justify myself. I'm just trying to make you, S2 racers, understand.
That was 2 years ago. It was during my "active" period. I was irriatated by the way demo users were treated in this forum. I really considered buying S2 but then I realised that I'm not that interested about it. I played for a month and then left for a year or even more.
And as I said before, I came to the forum yesterday to find some news about Scirocco.
Take me for example. Like I said before, I don't play that often and demo satisfies my interests completely. I like LFS because of it's realistic physics, I don't care about how many cars on how many tracks I can drive. Sometimes I just feel I would like to race. And FBM on BW1 is all I need. Now, it's very difficult for a demo user who is completely satisfied by the demo to force himself to buy it (if he/she is not interested in S2 content). For me, the developers have of course made a good job but I don't think of them as gods who should have my wife, house and soul just because they have made the greatest piece of software humankind has ever known. Yes, I sound like an ****, but for me, LFS is a good game, a decent game, nothing more.
When talking about demo, S2 users always mention that "demo" means "demonstration". Alright, so the problem seems to be in that word ("demo"). If the demo was named e.g. "S0", would it still be a problem? Because it wouldn't be a demonstration anymore. It would just be free content.
I'm a demo racer. I discovered LFS about 3 or 4 years ago. You think it would be a good time for me to buy a license? But I don't play that often at all. I think the last time I played was in the end of 2009 (checked to the forums today to read some news about VWS... I have no comments about that). I was very active and played for a few weeks. Maybe even for a month. But before that I had a year-long break. And it has been like that for all those years. I play for a few weeks but then I have a half (or even a whole) year break. Every time I started thinking about buying a license I always got tired of LFS and forgot about it completely. And it has always been like this.
But I just can't understand S2 racers who want the demo to be limited. I mean, how does it affect you? It could only mean that less experienced racers go to S2 servers (who can (and probably will) give S2 racers a proper headache). Or are you just embittered by the fact that there are people who didn't pay for LFS and are still having fun?
If there were tuning, only about 50% (maybe little more, maybe little less) of people would have identical cars, because almost everyone has their own driving style and there are no ideal setups. However, if there were no tuning, people would DEFINITELY have 100% identical cars because you just couldn't modify them.
I'm slowly realizing that you can't make any posts here as a demo racer without others making those ''more-than-useful suggestions'' to you. I know that S2 is ten times better than the demo, I also know that there are no turbo-era F1 cars in LFS at the moment (so your suggestion was quite pointless).
But don't worry, I have been thinking of buying S2 for a while now. At the moment, I just have more urgent things to do with my money. But as soon as I have enough free funds I will definitely get it.
