I have enjoyed every minute of LFS thus far, and absolutely respect Scawen's choices.
However, I have to wonder if there isn't an opportunity to open LFS up to selected developers, at least on the content front? I know it's tough to release control of any project, particularly one that has such an investment of man-hours, and is a worthy source of pride...
Even leaving the physics and dynamics as-is, I would happily shell out for additional cars and tracks, especially some more real-life examples. I would personally want to avoid community created content in general, because of the hopelessly inconsistent quality of e.g. rFactor mods. However, I'm sure bringing some more developers in to work on content would be orthogonal to the tyre physics developments, while raising the profile of LFS in general and bringing in some welcome income.
No?
