Just a quick thought: maybe you could sell printing rights for the merch with the LFS logos to some external company. Some companies use designs of individual creators and they share a part of profit. I know a company doing this but I don't want to sound like I'm advertising something here.
To anyone interested, there is an addon for an old version of Blender that can import .cmx files. With that you can convert the file to .obj and load it into Live for speed. Then add the engine, set up parameters of the car and enjoy. Unfortunately I dont have any motivation to do so, I will wait until Scaven does it properly.
It "was" included in CMX viewer? I have VW scirroco .cmx file created in 2008. Can it be imported into mod editor? Since the performance parameters of the car are publicly known it would not take that much work to make it operational, given the inperfections of current physics model.
But I doubt it will make ScaViEr happy :-)
EDIT: I just checked it, the file format seems to be differrent and without knowledge of both file formats it would not be convertible in reasonable amount of time. However, if someone is VERY bored...
Just to point out one thing. Scawen is probably very confident about pushing out tyre physics and graphical improvements if he spoke about it. But let´s be patient, in programming there is a lot of unexpected things that can ruin your day/month/year
Well, you are doing your job so well that people on the free marked combined with your huge effort allowed you to practice your life the way you do. Your life is my capitalist ideal
Some apps may interfere with each other. For example, MSI afterburner on my system is causing display errors in SmallTime, crashes GitHub and causes LFS to go blackscreen for about 0,5 second every few minutes.
On topic, if I would give avay a free licence, I would pick someone who played demo a LOT. S1 was almost dead when I bought it and I am sure that every player will count there.... also, great apetizer to buy more #marketing
Why should you take away a piece of free content and put it behind a paywall? I rarely go to demo servers to experience that different flavour. More raw, less rule-abiding, more fierce. I would like to keep that that way.
Also, if the demo content would not be so excellent and free forever, I would probably never even buy S1 licence, not even talking about S3. LFS demo was the game of my childhood And I am very thankful for that.
