Ok, from one point of view it can be good that LFS would have compatibility with older systems, run smoothly on Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM. But that way you will never achieve more accurate simulation and better look & feel.

By FINALLY moving step forward you can get better physics by using multicore/threading opportunity, much better graphics with today's GPU. That way, you will probably loose some of players with 10yo computers, but you can get many new players with modern PCs who are waiting for simulators of 2012 like rFactor 2...that could be another LFS...

imho it's silly to provide backwards compatibility for such old systems. The sooner jump to multi-core universe, the better.

Quote from col :

LFS = niche product.
Many lfs users are not 'gamers' and do not need a high end modern PC for most of what they do. If the devs make LFS only run on a modern gaming PC, they lose these non-gamer users.
They have limited resources, so they have to make a decision: put resources into making it work on low end machines, or put resources into maxing out the graphics capabilities of high end gaming PC's
When you consider that if they lose the non-gamers, they might not make a living from this niche product, that decision is a no-brainer.

What is it about this that you don't understand?

hm, i think that you don't understand what i mean. we are in 2012 and nearly everyone (not all, thats right) uses a 4 cores (or more). i don't talk about a high end pc. f.e. I5 2300 in combination with a GTX560Ti. that's not a high end pc. but it's like what most ppl have.

I wasn't thinking of a 486 or PIII when I wrote that, but something more realistic like my own E8400 that still runs everything I need to and more. I have no desire to upgrade it any time soon.

E8400? not realy up to date, or? check BF3 or other games on DX11 i don't think that your cpu is running good on it


lfs was a good sim but, for years nothing happend. so i think (like many others) there will be no S3 or anything else. my team was from the beginning of lfs in there but we decided to leave cause the only thing what happend in the last years is "somethimes" an announcement. nothing more. and sry about that but it's like taking money and making holydays. that's what many ppl think. check it out and watch the hole history of lfs. your work at the beginning and know. if you do that, you will see what i mean.

don't be angry about my post but that's how it looks

Quote from Mr.Turtle :

............. or do it yourself Maybe....

don't tell me thinks like that. watch your join date and watch @ mine. if you are using lfs about 7 years and everytime you listen to empty words i think you will say the same. and b.t.w. we all paid for S2 FULL and not for any alpha or beta... if you just want to use an alpha version, it's your choice, not mine.

BAD BOYS or HB-H1972

hehe i remember these old time and that gives me an idea. scawen, please, give us back the old FXO Turbo. but this time for the NGT and with RWD

Quote from dadge :

i've been here since 2004. i still find LFS interesting enough to play it for an hour or two every week. i thought the guy had some great points.

for me, LFS is just the platform to have great races. these races can happen with any racing game/sim i play. LFS can't get "worse", it's your expectations that have changed, not LFS. the physics are still at a high enough standard that you can still go onto a server and have an enjoyable evening of hard racing. what makes LFS unique is how quickly you can get a great race with others. with Rfactor, you need the correct track downloaded, the correct cars downloaded. Rfactor is also a good game but it's a bit like a 50cc scooter, you'd give it a go, but you wouldn't tell your friends.

It does not matter which game is better. The fact is that in the last 2 years nothing has happened. you hear words like "Early 2009" but what happened? nothing. There are enough bugs in lfs as on Fern Bay or Kyoto if you go into the guard rail or wall such like this example here: http://www.mimic-clan.de/index.php?forum-showposts-46-p1#121 or the tire physics. this bugs they could have fixed long ago. Therefore, live for speed is almost dead. old players switching to other games like I-Racing etc cause nothing happenend. if the next patch is not a "wow/bang patch" or something like this, i think more players will change the game.


anti cheat is ok, its better to have it and not need it as to need it and have none but i think there are more important things to do like real bug fixing and less empty words.
(sry 4 my english)

What are the allowed cars on the server you are trying to join? If there is a problem with some cars we'll need to know about it.

And also please check that you can use Z15 exe to join successfully.

Using XFR on AS7.

and b.t.w. where are the R4??? in 4 weeks we got a longrun on AS7 and R3....

Quote from Scawen :

I can't seem to reproduce this. Could it be something to do with your setup? Like gear ratios or something? I've done a few laps with default setup and it changed gear every time.

no, my set is not the problem cause another racer has the same prob and he's not using my setup. sometimes i can drive 10 laps without any problems and next race (without disconnecting) i have this problem a few times in one lap. and it doesn't matter if i drive with lifting the gas or not. till Y24 there was no problem but since Y30 ...

please, fix the problem with the 5th gear (XFR). sometimes the 5th gear doesn't work. and i'm not the only one with that problem. sometimes we have to use the shifter between 2 - 5 times to change from gear 4 to 5.

i have a problem with XFR and the gearbox. sometimes the 5th gear doesn't work. i have to push the button 2 or 3 times to change from gear 4 to 5. bug or is this right?
