you call that catastrophic something in the actual, simply different coloured NFS versions physics?! well, i can`t take 90° corners at a speed of 2 billion miles an hour.....it is just a game for the masses, and the masses get what the masses want, not only in games but (nearly) also in all other publications....where will this world end at?

well, of all the NFS games that have been published in all the years, my all time favourites are NFS1SE, because it was my first one and had great point-to-point tracks in it and acceptable physics and NFSU2, because it had nice cars, a free drivable "city", nice tuning options and....well, the physics were not real physics but they were some kind of drivable and the sounds had been the same for some cars but they were quite nice...at some cars....i have to say that, eve if the game is crappy the sounds of NFSMW are nice and realistic....i can say that because i have been driving and racing an SLR a few times already and yes, it sounds like this and it is just an awesome car but it is way too heavy for being a real racy sportscar....as richard hammond said:" a little too much mercedes and a little too less mclaren." you are right richard, and even the SLR Stirling Moss final edition, which is told to be a real racer is too heavy.....mercedes will always be mercedes, and will always be MY favourite brand, even if they (yet...) can`t beat a porsche or similar roadcar on the track...but the way is the right one, as seen on the various Black Series versions...even the actual SL 350 with the new, optional direct steering is a really huge step forward compared to the previous system, the steering is much better than the standard, lot of sharper after the first 2,5 degrees of turning and of an astonishing directness, except the feel in the steering wheel is a little too less, but that is not that much important. A Mercedes has other, very nice and good capabilities. Oh, i am off the track, no, topic again...

Keep on racing!

But I like the pot...

Well, maybe you guys are right about the thought of letting 1 or 2 TALENTED programmers join the dev`s, but it still is their decision, so let`s wait and see...they are reading the forum i am sure, and maybe they think:"......hmmmm.......maybe this idea is not too bad......hey, where did the pot go?!"

and yes, this is a forum for everybody to post their opinion, so.......we`ll see!

Keep on racing!

yes, i got what you wanted to say, and your english is everything but not bad in my opinion.

all i can say is, let the dev`s take their time. even if they give a little less feedback about the developing of LFS tot the community, don`t forget the S2 Z1-Z10 Test patches! there was a lot of improvement, think of the rotating brake discs, seems to be a small step forward but also small steps can take a lot of time! and even if i repeat my post from above, i think they are working on a few things more than only the scirocco at the moment! and if they would give us info about the whole content they are working on, the screaming from the community would even get louder, so they cut it a bit to keep it low. and don`t forget: there is and must be a life beside LFS for both sides, dev`s and community! LFS is NOT everything for me and shouldn`t be for anyone of the community! so come down a bit all you screaming people, sit back and enjoy the high quality product we are already able to use for a very low price! and i personal hope and pray for the dev`s to keep their line and NOT to cooperate with a big publisher just for making big money and not caring about the quality of the final product...

And about the question about more developers all i can say is a phrase:

too many cooks spoil the broth...

That`s what in my mind in this case!

Keep on racing!

P.s.: what do you think of my sig? :-)

My LFS History
Alexlion
S2 licensed
I generally used LFS only for single player up to version Y, mostly driving round the tracks with the more or less difficult AI drivers in the normal cars or, with version V only, I created some tuned versions of the XFG and XRT, had lots of tweaks for it but deleted it, because the difference between V and Y, later Z, was too big for me, and I was also some kind of bored of tweaking the cars. when Z was released, I more and more tried the online capabilities of LFS and discovered the cruise servers, tried some out and stayed at [TC] City Driving, which is very very fun, because the community is very nice and I just love the cruising, racing and sometimes chasing on the servers. Since I joined the Cruise community I also started to go deeper into setting up the cars and created a few very nice setups for my most favourite cars, the UF1 (love that little screamer), XFG, XFR, LX4 (i like it, it`s so much fun to throw it around the track), and most actual the UFR, which is really really fun and extremly easy to drive brutally fast with the right setup. I drove about 5000+ km`s on montana till now and was really astonished about how exactly i have learned the track only by driving and not racing on it. I use the G25 for driving, which is a very great wheel in my opinion, except the shifter is a little too...well, weak and too easy to slam through the gears, so a little much more resistance would be nice, but you can`t have everything.

I generally play LFS about 2-4 evenings a week, on weekeknds mostly friday and/or saturday night, driving on the [TC] server only and driving about 150-400 km`s a night.

Well, so much about my LFS history and the actual situation, now the future, i will keep it short, well, I`ll try to...

Firstly, as already said by a lot of others, let the dev`s take the time for the scirocco and all the other stuff they are also developing and finishing. I think, that when the scirocco is released we will also get a rework of all other or most of the other cars, as already happened at the XRG, XFG and XRT, this takes some time! Then we might get (hopefully) a new track, a huge test track with looooooong straights and some handling parcours would be nice, or some more variations of the already existing tracks, i personal dream of a completely open south city especially for the cruisers with traffic lights and some other goodies... If TDU wouldn`t have such a horrible physics engine, driveability and would not be full of bugs I would even play it longer than 5 seconds, but the masses get what the masses want...look at these graphics....so much motion blur and all this silly, CPU-eating use less stuff.....wooooow....it LOOKS so....well, some kind of undiscribable but it eats a lot of CPU so it must be great...I personal give a **** about good graphics, I want wonderful physics and astonishing driveability more than up to the date graphics, by the way, i think the LFS graphics are very nice and very good, so i personal don`t miss anything. But back to topic...

My personal perfect LFS would look as follows:

It would have a own integrated car and track editor with which we could create and tune our own cars within limits especially for drivability and several servers for online play and create tracks but not changing the already existing ones, they are good enough....i want the green hell :-). the physics would be like they are now or slightly changed and some graphical updates would be made as well...but i hope that scawen stays at his opinion that LFS will never be a screenshot generator but "must be optimized as a driving/racing simulator!"

Now my fingers hurt Hope i was able to entertain you a little with my ideas and visions and hopefully LFS will exist forever....or at least till i die!

Keep on racing

And I am actually at work now just had to listen to my fat-assed "boss" telling me not to listen or to discuss with our customers....lady, i don`t care about the crap you are talking, i do it my way, because I want our customers to be understood and to be helped and to be faithful! so **** you! count your 477 sheets of paper yourself the next time! i am not you idiot doing everything you are not willing to do, f***ing B**ch!!! i am still in education for being a car salesman at the best brand ever but i already know how to handle our customers to make them feel good at us and to make them coming back! AAAAHHRRRRGGG!!!!!!!

Well, I just watched the example video from the first post and I think that this technique will make you slower than to countersteer in these kind of situation. Also I can`t get the idea out of my mind, that this technique is especially helpful for keyboard or pad users, because the video showed a very very fast reaction, and very less precise and small steering angles. But in general I would try to setup the car with a very grippy front end and a loose but not too oversteery backside. I use the G25 for driving on 900 degrees, which seems to be a little too much, but I like the very precise driving you can manage with it. Long talking short sense, I won`t use this technique. But it is fun to read this thread! And in case of IRacing: I once tried it and did not like it so I won`t play it anymore, also because it is WAY too expensive compared to LFS...and LFS is THE driving simulator in my opinion and you can throw away everything else! And to make a point about the Scirocco and all the complaining about the release: It will be released sooner or maybe later, so let the dev`s do their work, which is very very well till now and always remember: NFS is developed by 100+ people and is complete rubbish:gromit:, LFS has only 3 and is nearly perfect!

I think i don`t have a style...i like to drift, mostly fast and precised, and i like to race individually...was that word right? I think, if i try to develop a style of driving, i would n`t be able to react variable to the situation i am confronted with...that´s my kind of driving LFS...there´s no better one than this game...only one that can keep up a little is project torque...god, I love this game!

Hello there guys!

I`ve just a question to all of you: has anyone of you already been able to create a very realistic and original sound and maybe even a matching tweak for the "old" VR6 engine made by VAG? I mean not the normal sound, I mean "the" VR6 sound...that noise from hell as i like to call it...VR6 with K&N 57i kit...

If anyone has been able to create it I would fall on my knees and kiss his feet if he would be so good as to share it with me and all the others around here!

I`ve surely already have tried to create that sound, too, but mine isn`t that good...also sounds nice, but not like the...you know?

I`ll post my sets and tweaks here for you...

Thanks for your help already...

Hey Guys...

I`ve just got one question: is it possible to get a carsound in LFS like the VW VR6 with K&N Filter? Maybe you know this unbelieveable sound, just like ....wuuup....or .....beeeaast....hm...the nearest sound i got with lfs tweak was with a V 11 combination with 2,8 litres...maybe one of you knows the perfect version for this sound....thans for your replies...and maybe fonnybone could say sth. to this thread, too....
