If the next update would include tire physics, then most probably yes, we will see it.
And maybe when the progress reports of South City or Fern Bay will come it will figure the VWS in action
But dreams do come true ...

one of the reason : LX8 version was leaked, VW's one not ... So the treatment will be different ^^
But for now, let's not disturb the master, he may be in the final stage of testing the new tire physics before writting a progress report

Indeed, LFS remains the driving/racing simulator I will always use.
Who is still playing AC or GP Legends regularly ? Most of the time you enjoy these sims a lot when you discover them, but after a while you are not keen to run them anymore ... Not the case with LFS
I am not sure licensed contents is helping that much, even if it is nice to have the feeling to have the real thing through your wheel (AC is quite successful in some cases on this aspect ... but in the end it is less pure than LFS in the global behaviours of the cars, leaving a mixed feeling). Having plenty of different architectures of vehicles is a must, this is where LFS is lacking a bit : some kind of modern supercars, GT3 racecars, and I let you imagine everything else the new tire physics will allow to bring.

Good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Could you try this one? In case you don´t have a cam file for the layout I´ve attached one, just need to change the file extension from .txt to .cam ... can't upload cam files here. Thank you so much!
may be also heat... dusted or it got loose, or it's not sticking properly on GPU .. etc... can be pretty much anything, from SW (malware crypto mining in background, drivers, weird OS like MS windows, ...) to HW (above or even malfunctioning) ...
It's not possible to tell from the description, nothing specific there (unless all of LFS players with similar HW on the same LFS version would experience it, then it would be probably LFS fault)

The autoexec.lfs file (not folder) has to be directly in the script folder. It will not work if it's in a subfolder.
Move the autoexec.lfs file from the autoexec.lfs folder to the script folder so the path is "...\data\script\autoexec.lfs" not "...\data\script\autoexec.lfs\autoexec.lfs".
(you will probably have to rename the autoexec.lfs folder before moving the file because for some reason Windows doesn't allow names of files and folders to be same)
I am not sure it will be two flat turns. I would suppose more it is a curve ending in a K corner, so a braking zone not in straight line ...
I tried this already on Monday when I read your message but I write only now. I made new folder, named it to autoexec.lfs, put there same content there has been earlier (also those 2 lines starting with //) and it´s in right place (...\Teemu\MNK\data\script). Still same result when I tried Other -> Autostart -> Install : "Cannot open autoexec"
I think I made this properly, autoexec.lfs is small text file etc. ...
>>> only the red tarmac. <<< ???
Please, more clarity ... As shown in the picture
Agree.
I would say S3 is lacking of 2 track environments and 8-10 cars to match previous relases contents. Without the graphical updates, it would have looked quite old compared to current sims ... and do not forget that LFS is also famous for its VR implementation, outdated graphics is not so pleasant when in VR I suppose. I do not think it is reaching the end for the moment : having the new lighting system that seems to smell night racing in the future, or how water on the track will be displayed at Rockingham in the coming patch, this gives the feeling that the best is to come.
Do not forget the damned tire physics update (which shall not embed wet physics ... for the moment) which is probably to come for real around this massive update
! And this is the reason why the team was no more delivering new cars !
Keep faith ! The lights are green and engines warmed !

Hopefully this will help. I don´t have that ...\autoexec.lfs part when I checked 
This is OK for illegal warez groups and maybe some Chinese devs...
In civilized world you should have permission (license) of original author to use his work...
(hmm, sounds like China is not civilized, which is totally not true, they are civilized few thousand years longer than local tribes here in EU, but lack of IP respect is AFAIK broad-enough issue to use the generic "China" and blame all, sorry ... nah, since when am I worried about PC, I'm a**hole all the time, so I will keep it as I posted it)

What do you mean "you don't need to change graphics engines" ... the work done is actually like changing graphics engine (although it's evolution of the old one, and "only" shadow, shaders and pixel pipeline parts were rewritten, basic geometry transformations are same(?) and the pipeline is in principle very similar, still forward rendering (I guess, I haven't seen the sources and Scawen didn't write that much about it), so it's not like completely new paradigm (deferred renderer)).
No, went a bit over your head...
If you take particular version of LFS, then it is old-school "we sell this game for 36 pounds, and it's all yours, go play...".
But if you consider it in larger time frame, then you got "LFS service" - continuously updated game content and executable, running master server (once it will die, you will be unable to unlock content after reinstall)... but only one time payment for license.
Which is exactly how those wet dreams of EA and similar CEOs look, except that pricing model, that one went completely wrong (from corporate point of view).
To add insult into injury, this pricing model is quite likely partly responsible for the current reception of LFS ("old, dead, should have had this and should add that...").
Because they can't let the game for $3.30 in some kind of sale, if it's the only money they will ever see for it, so they can't compete with price against current games (like some summer sale for iRental or AC1), yet as price for "total game" it's actually surprisingly low/cheap in current world (most of the full games are currently priced around $90 to $150 (usually starting at $60 + DLCs + deluxe-triple-turbo-diamond-redux packages, so if you want it "all", you will end even beyond $150 easily). And people tend to treat cheap things as obviously worse, than the more pricey ones (subconsciously).
Also the LFS case probably shows how SaaS gaming and corporates will die (*). Even if they will churn updates for their continuous games at much better pace and quantity than LFS devs, ultimately gamers will want some "new game" (even if those updates made that "old" one into technically new one every 6 months, they will after couple of years feel like it's "old", and they should rent some other game instead).
(* which I'm definitely looking forward to, the sooner, the merrier me)

Remember back in the day with your 640x480 monitor and then Syndicate came out and it ran at 800x600 and then diablo came along and that looked cool at 1024x768 and then Unreal Tournament looked, well, unreal at 1280x1024 ... now imagine going straight from 640x480 to 1280x1024 in one go ... that's what 1080p to 2160p is like.
or Westhill, or both ...
but for next year, the speculation will be ... massive
: seeing the remaining tracks on which nothing has been spoiled 
Anyway, we have some beatiful screnshots to wait with

Hmm... less sand around "eau rouge"... will result into more cuts on grass?

You already have it, you don't have to pay for it next month or year.
Actually just recently when reading about something else (game development related), it occurred to me, that LFS dev team basically figured out the model of "software as service" very early, decade+ ago, they just messed up their pricing (from the point of view of corporate)... Now most of the game studios are trying to hop that train too, but under completely different conditions... I'm probably getting too old, as I sometimes think how lucky I was to live during the period of 8 bit computers and early computer games, because somehow it feels like the new things will never ever recreate experience like that.

HLVC ok while cutting the pits : Westhill karting national (WE5)
A small issue with HLVC on karting national : the driver is not "out of bounds" if he starts the lap in the "pits". It allows to gain a non negligible speed advantage ...

I sleep in front of the garage gate of Blackwood
.... like the Apple fans in front of the Apple stores. Sure is sure .... in the end there is a clearance sale and there are not enough updates for all ...
Oh well, reading inouva's posts ... is like a blast from the past.

Seeing what is currently developed for LFS, I do not understand why people are willing to have potential new moaners quickly. I understand the dev team willing to focus on what they want LFS to come before being requested to answer hundreds of people why there is not Spa included or whatever . I do not speak about people requesting refund directly to post bs on the product because the XF GTi is not a real car ^^ .
On a "money money" side, of course Steam will allow a better advertising and so will bring more people (Piboso (GP Bikes, etc ...) was talking about double of users after Steam) and more income, players ... But better to be ready facing newcomer requests as it is more people to handle in the end !
Currently, it is wise to assume that Scawen and Eric are dedicated to bring LFS to very high and nice level, ... and it takes time ! So let's suppose they will keep the classic way for some moments.
But in then end, it will remain their choice !

Sorry, I have no idea how these things work (since 2006 I'm on linux, and my PC usage pattern is set up in a way to not need AV (in case of virus hit I will simply reinstall and restore data from backups/clouds), as it hurts performance of my text editor, which is my daily job ... it's a bit ridiculous, but it's like that, in 2018 I need gaming+ grade of HW (without GPU) to run text editor at somewhat reasonable speed, and even that last bit of not running AV makes huge difference (if you don't have a clue, that text editor is "Android Studio", fully fledged IDE written in Java, so it's slow as hell, I'm not kidding).
