hi, just to let you all know that
[FM] Fragmaster is still alive.

Hi Scawen, yups although I do not play anymore I am how ever still around It would be better to have a new Graphics engine rather than dinasour direct x8engine you currently have, You should bring LFS back with a good graphics engine rather than have new track or wheel stuff,
I would like to see your eply on this..

Quote from Scawen :

Hello everyone
The developers are all alive and working on LFS.

Eric has been working on new tracks. He slowed up a bit during some of the great English summer which we don't get very often. I have enjoyed test driving on two of his new tracks which look great and I look forward to the time when they can be released.

I am still working on the tyre physics, though I haven't really made serious progress this year. I also enjoyed the summer, did a lot of cycling and running too. It's a better hobby than smoking like I used to, and I really enjoy it. But the good news is it won't pay the bills!

LFS income has gradually gone down as it always does between updates. That that has increased the urgency of finishing the tyre physics. So I plan to get down to it, make the appropriate approximations and sort out a good physically based system, with enough assumptions to make it workable, accepting that total realism is an unachievable goal.

I just got a bit excited about stereoscopic 3d support, which some people will like because they'll be able to see LFS in 3d on a 3d TV, if their TV supports "side-by-side" or "top and bottom" mode. Also headsets should be supported if they accept one of those output modes. The old headsets that require specific support and sequential output will not be supported. For example a Sony HMZ works but a Vuzix VR920 does not. A more recent Vuzix should work but the field of view is not really good enough to give you peripheral vision. I'm not sure how much it will benefit the Oculus Rift at the moment. I think that depends on a pixel shader to provide the proper distortion, which I think is not available in D3D8. Anyway, one of the output options will be non-squashed (full) side-by-side 3D, which may possibly make it easier to use the Oculus Rift. Anyway it is a step in that direction. It does appear that the current Oculus Rift's resolution is too low for a racing simulator at the moment. Anyway I should be able to post a 3d test patch in a few days, I'm guessing early next week. Some people will enjoy that, though I realise most people, like me, don't have 3d equipment.

Victor is still with us, although he has indeed got another job, which looks like a really good one, putting his excellent skills to more use. I'm pleased for him about that, as his job here wasn't often really full time, although he is an absolutely vital member of our team. He needed a job as well because our profit share isn't one third each and depends on our actual contributions to the project. Victor started later and never has so much work, so for that reason only, his profit share was a bit of a tight squeeze to live on, specially with the gradual reduction in profits while we are waiting for a serious update.

People ask why I don't come here more often with progress reports. But there hasn't been enough progress to give a report. And it's not appealing to come here and say that. Every month I've thought I would be making more progress, and would have some good progress to report the following month. Hope you see what I mean...

Anyway, we do have to pay the bills and I'm very interested to get the better feeling tyre model out there for everyone to enjoy. You've heard it all before so I don't expect great enthusiasm. It will take a while yet, but hopefully not too long.

[QUOTE=Scawen;1582607]WARNING : THIS IS A TEST

NOTE : THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN NEW TYRE PHYSICS / VW SCIROCCO / ROCKINGHAM

Scawen, Will it ever?
Nope!!
Such a shame that you guys are allowing this game to get so stagnent, and that you are ignoring the real wishes of the people whom have been playing this game for years..
It really needs updating with some new cars and new tracks, And yes a second new oval !!!
I live in hope, but will be in my grave probably before you add these real updates....
Old man Popps

What a bunch of nonsense, LFS is a place of fun, This is where we go to enjoy ourselves,
Please also explain why The FM tag always has to be blamed?
Anyone is allowed to voice opinion
Some of you guys need to grow up and get a life.
We at FM do enjoy good serious racing, however we also treat it as fun!
and as such we do have very busy servers!!
the point of my post is stop blaming team FM!!
Edited added
Point Fras is trying make, there is a correct way that people should be spoken to, Shouting at someone is not the mature way to solve any discussions.
I have to agree with Fras on that point,
Fras also wanted to continue in the race, Most of you guys/Girls see red when you crash out then you always leave the servers, Fras was just trying to complete the race, Blown engine or not, he did not give up.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I'm nice to a lot of people. But not everyone. I'm not nasty for the sake of it, but only if they write (or say) something worthy of not being liked. As spicy says, I might still, however, respect you. Or, alternatively, I might like you, but have little respect for you.

Anyway, who cares. I don't like oval racing. I doubt I ever will. It just bores me. I see little skill in it (of course there is some skill - being smooth, consistent and things like that, but that should be a given for professional motorsport most of the time, not something worthy of praise). If you don't agree then that's fine by me.

What would my dad have to add about ovals? He probably doesn't like oval racing either - although I don't ever remember discussing the topic with him.

The idea of racing the FOX (the easiest car in LFS) on the oval (the easiest track in LFS) really doesn't interest me. The FO8 or LX6 or UF1 on Kyoto Long or South City Town would be much more appealing.

Edit: I really don't have the time. I'm up at 8am for work. I get home at about 2200-2300 after working on the race car and a day at work. The last thing I want to do is play a racing game. Having said that, maybe one weekend, but I can't promise which one as most of them are also 14 hour days of some sort. If you see my post history you'll see that 99% of them are during work hours. I take a few minutes every now and again to post something (don't tell the boss!). In the evenings I am conspicuous by my absence. I did get a couple of evenings off last week, but I played netKar and Crysis instead.

Blah blah then plz dont critisize FMs any longer, put up or shut up.
You are owe an apology to FM

My mind is somewhat confused about you guys who post here,
Why is it that there are some who just cant stick to the general subect matter, But then you always try and turn it into thier own post, All this talk about measurements seem to make me wonder if you are not just talking of the measure of your own egos, Plz stick to the posting headings and make other postings of the other shit you wanna talk about elsewhere in another post.

Their you are Mr Tristan, But i am still of the opinion that your head is stuffed so far up somewhere that the sky looks Brown..
I am not into people who are egotistic dicks and who also dont have manners, maybe you should talk with your father as to how difficult oval racing can be/get, However since Oval bores you, come join the FM Fox Junkies and do some racing there??
Or is that just boring too?

Heh heh heh

Tristan like i said you always have to do the Bitch slapping.
:inq:

Quote from tristancliffe :

Wouldn't it be ironic if he crossed the 1,000,000km mark by driving on a proper circuit, in a proper car - you know, a combo that requires some talent?

Mr Tristan You and all the others jelous Numpties out there, Just so you know Mr Failure hasnt been driving oval for quite some time and now races on other Tracks. FM Fox Junkies, why dont you go and try there or maybe race with Failure
Seem like you numpties out there are just jealous OF HIM, This thread is supoosed to be for Congratulations, but Some numpties seem to want to disrupt that, especially Mr Tristan you are always in the thick of any controvesy, and alway trying to bitch slap people.
Grow up and stop throwing your rattle out of your pram and give some congrats where it is due..

1million kms equates to driving about 25 times around the World

Go for it Failure...

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

You've already opened yourself up to the issue by leaving this box ticked:



While you haven't given permission, you haven't said that nobody can do it either...

Both you and boothy and any other admin besides Decko plz leave this one for Decko alone.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Just to clarify, it wasn't totally sneaky recording; the recording is an exact replica of what Dekojester could hear for the whole race. So even if he hadn't had recorded it, he has the circumstantial evidence of having candidly heard what was said.

It Makes no difference at all,
at no point was any particpant or Admin of ventrillo notified that any recording would take place.
The point is it was done without any persons permmision and has been used in relation to an incident.
That is still against any Law and as such cannot be used for any purpose period !!
Try reading the Law on this matter. No further discusion required on this plz

The discussion about 116 +123 has been moved here from the protests thread.

Remember, NO DISCUSSION IN THAT THREAD.

Hi everone to who is reading this thread,
My Post is written without predudice to anyone
Also my comments on race incidents will as an FM Senior Admin will be fair to all.
Firstly i will make this clear, My following post has nothing to with any protests which have been made.
even if there were no incidents in the entire race i would still make this post.
Decko, although you made a donation for the use of ventrilo and had full Admin rights,
Under no circumstances were Failure , myself or or participants of the race warned or were told that this event would be recorded.
That is something that you should have asked before the race commenced.
Even the Admin of Ventrilo would not and could not record any persons chatting in other channels.
The sub channels are also suppossed to be private strcitly for the teams.
and should not have been used in any circumtsances by any Admin for any purpose.
I would as an Admin say that this be removed from your posting forthwith
as it is morally wrong and also legally wrong to record someone without thier sole permmision.
It is againt international law to record others without permission
i have the legal right to edit this posting if i choose to do so

Race 1
Please i would also like to paticipate,

Whilst I am waiting for my FM login to be activated, I don't suppose you want to share on here what the message about the servers and vent gong down is all about, rather than just posting crap ?

Quote from th84 :

I wont argue with that.

Now there's the FM spirit!! Don't let that nice guy post on FM's behalf anymore, he really ruins your reputation.

I do believe that you really do give out handjob, Yup you're gay, oh and PS timo (hyntty) is on ventrilo as we speak, numbskull, he is having a joke like i am , like dugh.

(If someone, namely Michael doesn't understand, this is sarcasm)

If you love us so much why do you and others visit FM oval??
no further comments to make here. numbskull no sarcasm here either hehe

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I'm sitting in the Fragmasters Ventrilo server and I notice Popps has said that the servers "will be down". Does this mean for maintainance or forever? I would post in their forums but your account requires verification, and the link Popps posted is broken.

What's going on, guys?

Dugh No they are not read before you post silly comments FM will never go down crt numbskull haha
