meh . only saying i mean you dont have to be a total brainiac to realise that there has been no updates for 2 years nearly . ye sooner or later we will get one , Everyone will complain , and boom back to this again with people moanin about no updates .
Go away pleaseeeeeeee, LFS is fine, servers like [LTC] are plenty busy for a game anytime of the day whatever day (thats if you like cruising). I'm sure theres plenty of racing servers as well for nice people
My personal opinion is people like you (The Stig) are scaring everyone away! Everyone I join a server and see someone with stig in their name i check the lfs id to make sure its not you!.
if you think LFS is dying, go join a cruise server, or get in to GTR racing, thats where its all at. Leagues are still active, and always full in the GTR side of LFS and thats why it never fails to fill a grid in leagues such as, MoE (Masters of Endurance), IGTC (Internation GT Championship) and last but not least.. GTAL (Grand touring Amatures League - for new teams in the GTR racing side of things). These are all teamed events, so set up a team, get your name out there and make yourself known to us
Good luck on finding activity etc, its not gonna rise as much as people think when S3 come out. its only dedicated players that play the game now.. thats why the community is so great!
wow sean read my mind!
on another note...Cruiser servers on LFS are popular because of the INSIMS no one in there right mind would make a game/sim called live to cruise...
aw... instead of whinning we should make our ow simulator as Scawen said. I begun already 30 seconds ago, but im afraid that i will have max 10 minutes per day to work on it becouse I have other projects to finish
I hate World of DumbCraft - but that last line is 100% Agreeable....
I am playing a MMO that has been around since 2002 though ...
lifelong games, sims - thats what we need.
.. backed up by the reasoning that Scavier have every intention to keeping LFS pure - adding additional devs could mean changing the way the sim functions - we certainly wouldn't want some EA dev to come along - the kind that codes NFS....
I am one of those people - thats why I take part in the project mentioned in my signature - It's fun to be part of a game development project ( especially when u get in one early).
I make no money from it - whatsoever - its just --- for me --- as much fun creating content for a game - testing it - and posting issues on engine bugs - stuffs - physics notes etc to our 'developer' (without that 's') guy....
... its just so much more fun than 'just playing' a game. Because at the end of the day - Ur playing something that makes you feel good - even if it is still primitive - and even if u have no benefit other than self satisfaction.
Try it - it's great. Been basically me and 4-5 other active team mates for almost a couple years now - and dev is CRAP slow since our 3d engine is scratch built..... but its still fun...
Every time I load one of my models into the RCX engine to test - i think ' In 2 years this is going to be facking awesome - in 5 years I will look back and see how much I have learned from being part of a game development team. Maybe ill even be a part of a bigger project by then...'
On the other hand - your community get's impatient - then they pretty much force you to shut up and work behind the scenes - because no matter what you say - an idiot will always open his mouth - this much can even be learned from working on FPS mods and such as well - if you end up in a big one....
The perfect solution - that pack rocks =)
I would love to see anyone who has shown the same dedication and passion coders like Scawen have - in the sim racing industry.
Usually --- that type of thing would usually spark a form of curiosity.
I'm as curious as a kitten --- if LFS does 'anything whatsoever' ---
There are things in the BF1 im still curious about so constantly - I have been putting in 50 - 100 OFFLINE laps a week -
- because studying telemetry and physics in LFS - will benefit the notes I email to Slinger (at RCX )
... come to think about it ---
-- I have learned a great deal from this sim - even if I hardly race online anymore - Im still there - offline testing - or eyeballing the forums weekly...
I remember when I was a noob ( on Fragmaster's servers ) .... I gave them hell... I think Failure probably even hated me ...
But - I have learned from Failure as well - in fact - I learned a GREAT DEAL from him, and Plaztik ...
FM - SCAVIER , ... certain other smurfs around here ( Bob Smith , I want to know everything u know... ) ... they are actually pretty good teachers..... they just dont realize it
BTW - have I drifted off topic, I may have gotten carried away.....
I admit that I'm trying not to, but iRacing is really almost taking me away from LFS... the lack of updates and apparent abandon from the devs is what bothers me the most.
ok finely people started to understand that am not some jurk. i love LFS
and i want it to be better.
i do not think that i can make better simulator than LFS is right know.
we do not have any right to contact the developers and asked them what are they up to at this moment.
it would been better that they were just giving us updates we finished this process and right know we switched our attention on this problem.
I only wish that the LFS was more open than they are right know to their loyal users and racers .
