No. I'm trying to plan ahead. More like get others (cough Scawen cough) to take it into consideration. It would really suck to have all that and then be almost impossible for everyone to get on the same page. All I have to go off of is NASCAR 2003 as far as mods goes and to be honest, those were a bit of a cluster to get sorted out just for single player. Multi player? Yeah good luck with that unless you wanted to just play with the same five people or so.
I think it's something that should be thought out a good ways ahead of S3 final.
Not just, "Here's a car" "Here's a track" and then hope for the best.
Mods Mods mods and more mods
Yeah. I know mods are kind of a taboo subject, but This post isn't so much about this car or that track. What I want to know is how the original game interface will work with that. And how would those mods work with the existing game in multi-player. Like if someone was to make some track and have races for it on the server would you have to go online and look for the track? Or would you be able to download it right there on the main server as your waiting to join? And as far as cars goes. Would that be about the same thing? I guess what I'm asking is how well would access to these mods be in the original game? Are there going to be some sort of parameters?
Wow.... How big is your monitor dude?
It was THAT popular? I'd a thought after they FINALLY stopped playing the original song, no one would want anything to do with listening to it. ROFL..... I remember getting free tickets to a show there. While they were playing that song some topless girl was ice skating....
I remember this song..... The first time I went to Las Vegas, this song was playing everywhere. This one and that damned song from the Titanic Movie. It's not that bad of a song if that's what you're into. But hearing it for two weeks straight? Vegas latches onto a song and plays it to death.
Here's another rot gut Country song for you.

Simulation question
You know Scawen & Co. try really hard to make this game as realistic as possible. We all know the physics are amazing. Well I got to thinking about the grand stands. Most are empty. Is that a reflection of the decline of motorsport's popularity? Or is that to simulate the mass hysteria of the corona virus? If so, then maybe they ought to show race fans fighting over toilet paper in the restrooms.
I didn't know you liked music with words in it! I also didn't know they had Palm trees in Denmark..... Must be that global warming thing going around, huh?
If you can listen to this song without cutting yourself, then bro you got ice in your veins!

I would love to see them do something more with the drag strip. I don't see pro street or top fuel options in any of the other guy's games. Just the same ol same ol go around in a circle stuff. But I think trying to figure out wrinkled slicks and down force from exhaust angles would give Scawen nightmares.
So THAT'S why the development isn't outsourced!
As to the original post. Let's play Devil's advocate and say they take you up on your offer to make cars. OK fine. Will they be the ones I want? How about Intrepid? Nope. You could have a staff of a hundred and STILL not make the right cars. We're gonna have to wait for LFS to be finalized and then we can mod whatever cars we want. Besides, every time they update the game they have to update the cars too. I don't know much about coding, but wouldn't having all those cars (that most folks won't really use) mean updating and patching the game would be more complicated and take more time?
It's part of the update. They also threw in facial recognition and GPS tracking for mobile users. Didn't you see that in the last update report?
Update? OK.... Well let's see. My uncle Nick went to a gender reveal party. Yeah. I think he didn't understand what that means. Now he has to wear an ankle monitor and isn't allowed near kids. That one neighbor I got that never mows his yard? Yeah. He died in the front yard. nobody knew. We thought the smell was from the other neighbors that never take out the trash. Oh. And the "Check Engine" light came on in my car. I opened up the hood and it was still there so it's all good.
Oh well see y'all next month with more updates.

I dunno... you should make stuff up on your progress reports and have these progress reports be about anything BUT LFS.
Like Going to the store to get something and they didn't have it so you went to another store...... Taking up goat yoga.... Having to bail a family member out of jail..... Complaining about one of the other devs joining a doomsday cult.... You know. Stuff like that to pass the time.
I think that would be more interesting than "added a new text string to the code that makes the car door sound" or whatever anyways.

DELETED by Scawen : pointlessly exaggerated comparison and subsequent replies
Yeah. That's what she said.......
Think on the next update we could go back to having tinted windows? Limo tint is soooooo cool. Cause with clear windows? Yeah. They're just econoboxes. May as well put a fish sticker on the back.

So.... I guess we ain't getting a January Progress report.... Oh well. Enough about that.
Lighting. Much of this thread has to do with Night time and lighting. I been sort of stuck on something else though. Matte and satin colors for the cars. Would that be hard to do? The background elements all have matte colors. I don't know squat about what goes into coding colors or what exact color swatch is used. I do know that Pantone matching system has two basic variants - PMS C (coated - glossy) and PMS U (uncoated and pretty much matte) I also know that some paint makers have CMYK and RGB formulas to color match their paint colors. But that's really for people to have the ability to dial that particular color into their computer and printer. I know most folks are into glossy paints and high reflections. To me though, too much of that kills the realism. Someone posted a screen shot from another game, the gloss and reflections were waaaaay over the top. Almost needed a welding hood to look at the picture. Yeah. I'm not desperately wanting to have matte colors as I like shiny cars too. I do see a lot of potential in having access to matte colors though. And I know this subject has come up before, only it was just skimmed, no real depth went into the subject.

Why don't you just throw it in with the next update? Or is that easier said than done?
I hope they don't re-do Rockingham to make it look like it does now.
Fern Bay.... First off, I hope they don't ever kill off the quarter pipe. It took forever to be able to catch air and then grind the guard rail.
Also, if this is supposed to be in Jamaica, then the tracks need something. Churches in the background. There are churches all over that place! A lot of churches. I don't know if it's true but a local told me they have more Churches per capita than anywhere else. And JAMCO motorcycles parked every 30 meters or so. I seen as many of them as I did cars and trucks. They actually have a race track there. It doesn't look anything like the Fern Bay layouts though. It looked like a little oval. I don't know for sure. It was off the highway a bit and no one was there.

Uhhhh.... I meant the finished product. Not just the license.
And what's that Mercedes Pick-up like anyways? They don't sell them here.
I dunno... Sorta wondering which is gonna come first, LFS S3? Or Flying Cars? And if we get flying cars first, what then?
