There's something with the physics that makes me feel more connected to the road. It may be because LFS is the game I played the most when I got my G27, so it has always been the "gold standard" for me. Or it may be because the LFS physics are just best overall. But when I play LFS, I can feel the road much better than I can on any other racing game. Even though I haven't played LFS for many years now, as soon as I fired it up I felt the LFS physics in my hands as it was yesterday.
This is probably because LFS is quite a few years old, but it's less resource demanding than a lot of other games. I don't have my PC fans spinning up like crazy when I load in the game, and it's nice for once to hear the engine sound over the PC fans. I can run this game on my Macbook Air from 2014.
I like that the engine noise is generated in real-time based on throttle and engine load, exhaust system etc.
Play any other game where the noises sounds are recorded, for example NFS Shift, and hear the engine noises overlapping as the RPM increases, which sounds horrible. Another example is The Long Drive. Listen to the engine when it's idling, and you'll quickly get annoyed by the same 1 second recording looping again and again.
LFS doesn't have this annoyance when every cylinder firing sounds slightly unique.
This is not unique to LFS, I know other games has that too. But it's definitely worth mentioning. Using dedicated servers, rather than this P2P crap that a lot of other games are using. A server system is more cheat resistant, so we don't have the problem where anyone who joins the server can just explode everyone or put everyone in cages. Everyone who have played GTA Online on PC will understand.
And being able to create your own car skin, and have everyone else see it on your car, that's something I haven't seen in other games!

I remember my classmate was drifting in the game, and he also showed me you could hit the barrier at a specific place on Blackwood and it would send the car flying. That was back in 2007. We were poor back then, so we played the pirated version 
I also remember I won a computer with a steering wheel, which made me buy LFS S2 to do things like, drift around layouts and drive around on Cruise servers. I made a few good friends from that game. Good times.

We repair broken iPhones and Macbooks. I do most of the Macbook work, from changing parts like batteries and upgrading the hard drive to repairing damaged circuits on the motherboards.
No more having to use mouse or buttons to look around
Temporary music solution for the car
It's the only USB charger they had. It was either that, or I would be without music on my way home. Always nice to have a spare AC adapter anyways
First Apple product I've ever bought. For charging my Android device.
I died fist time I saw this!

And this "lamp" here
I had that idea for a while, but never got into programming it
Only thing we need now is the banging sound, then the next day, half of those on the cruise servers will be driving around constantly stepping on and off the gas.

I managed to make my old PC stable again, so I don't have to upgrade yet. So then I bought these instead.
European (50Hz) version this time. (I think I broke my old ones trying to mod them, right after I fixed one of the servos in it)

Who knows? Anyways I felt I have to reply not just to him, but to other people comparing LFS to a multimillion dollar company like EA.
Unlikely that they're trying to attract female racers. I doubt a kitchen would do good on a racetrack.
I don't see anything new in Scirocco, except that it's the first registered road car. It's not like a very good car. The variant with the biggest engine (R/2.0) has a little more power than FXO, but it weighs more. It will probably catch the FXO in the straightways, but I'm sure it will struggle even more in the corners than FXO.
Are you trolling or just being stupid?
EA has a ton of modelers, programmers, designers.. all sorts if people hired to do this and that, with no further instructions. It's a game factory that already has plans for their next game (which will be about the same but with more cars/weapons and features) before the current has been released.
The so called physics are as good as pre-programmed so it's sort of realistic (feels realistic for a guy with an xbox controller). The engine sounds are a bunch of samples recorded from an engine at certain rpm's, and ingame it often sounds horrible at certain rpm's.
The LFS team consists of 3 developers, Victor, Eric and Scawen. Those 3 are doing all the job from designing, modeling and programming and so far. They need to plan and prioritize features they want into it. Together they have a goal: Making a really good (maybe the best) racing simulator.
I think the tire physics is among the most important thing in a good racing simulator, which is why they have been working on that for the past years. And the engine sound is made in real time. Each time a cylinder fires the "pop" sound is played and ran trough a bunch if synthesizers with different parameters giving the final sound.
Oh of course. In this forum, no matter how good your arguments are you're not allowed to tell them if you're a Demo user.
WHere did you buy that audio extractor? How much did it cost?
About time to upgrade my dinosaur. Next time it will be a new mb, cpu, ram and ssd.
Realistic car physics and good force feedback
Good support for wheels with clutch and H shifter
Multiplayer
System requirements - runs smoothly even on my old laptop
Price/value for money - most other racing games can cost up to 60-70 EUR

Well, both the first (of the lenses) and the last (TV) looks kinda 2001 webcam-ish to me at least
Power supply for my PS3
Looks like your next purchase should be a better camera, or a phone with a better camera
Broke my other ones in a rage in NFS Undergound 2. Needed a new set to survive bus trips etc. (Will glue my old some day and have as a spare)
