Wrong. Having the lack of new track additions means eventual stagnation for a game platform. If you have ever worked in a game studio, this is a bad thing and has a negative effect on revenues in the LONG RUN. In the software world, you gotta build new things to stay ahead.
The Ring is classified as a public toll road in Germany, NOT a corporation owned race track. Copyright is NOT a problem in this case.
However, LFS already has BMW branding on the current version, so they should negotiate and do a BMW Ring Taxi M5 addon too!!!!
I'm willing to pay more in order to play LFS on the most difficult track on earth. It's also pretty bumpy, which presents a challenge in setting up the suspension.
The problem is that both PhsyX, ATI, and Nvidia are working on their own solutions regarding physics rendering, so it's better to wait until the dominant player emerges.
In the open source communities, there are "bounties" as incentives for folks to write new software, such as drivers and improvements. I suggest this system:
1) Improvments go through an approval process
2) Depending on difficulty, a set donation target is set by the LFS development team with a donation system controlled by the team.
3) Development starts on an improvement when the donation goal is reached
For example, adding the Nurburgring is a high dollar donation target. Any thoughts?
That is a much needed mod. The RB4 sounds like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, so it should have been set at 19psi boost peaking at 21 in the first place, with around 280hp at the crank. A boost controller feature should be available for off-line play at least (I wish).
