Although I'm not quite happy with the communication policy at the momtent, LFS stays the best sim I've driven so far.

Thanks for that and keep up the good work!!

Haha today i got a reply to an e-mail I sent over a month ago...

Guess that means he's still doing buisness.

Unfortunately the e-mail only contained the same information as the first one: Additional products next month.

So... still waiting.

Edit: This was part of his answer: "Next month we will have two new additional products: Rinoframe and
Rinocockpit and we will continue with the sale Rinoseats."

Wohooo!

Quote from LRB_Aly :

Sounds like a one or two man business. I hope they´ll keep the original products in their catalogue, cause rinocockpit sounds already expensive.

As far as I know it's only one guy producing these things. And he will keep the rinoseat in his range of products:

Quote from e-mail from renato :

So, we will have a three concepts:
1. Rinoseat <300EUR
2. Rinoframe <150EUR
3. Rinocockpit (with SLR seat) <400EUR

The cockpit is the frame with a suitable seat. (Rinoframe comes without a seat as it seems)

Yes, I got a reply on one of my multiple e-mails. I wrote that I wanted to order a seat, but didn't get any information on that...

Instead I got the anouncement that there will be two new additional products from rinoseats.com in may.
So I think the producer is busy developing those things (called rinoframe and rinocockpit) that he doesn't take any orders at present.

I hope it'll be possible to order again in may. So let's just wait and see what happens. I guess we'll hear from renato soon.

This is kinda pointless without any colourful statistics or anything...
Even the mean-values would be nice.

Ahh all this speculation...
All I know is:

- There will be a new patch sometime in the future.

- It will contain *something*, like a new language or, maybe, a super duper content update and probably the scirocco.

- Some people will praise the new patch and some will rant about it.

That's all I know. I stopped thinking about anything else, because it just doesn't pay off...

Happy waiting!

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :

Are the devs really so stubborn that they refuse to give us any information on their progress unless everyone stops asking questions???

Maybe they just gave up

Well whatever is happening, they are not doing anybody any favors with "silent treatment"

Yes, I think they just gave up. They gave up announcing things that aren't 100% ready, yet, because doing otherwise results in threads full of spam and moaning and accusations against them.

I'm pretty sure that the devs try to develop a software that they are happy with as good and fast as possible and threads like this are just a constant distraction and irritation.

Just be a little more patient. I think it won't change your life significantly if the patch comes out a month sooner or later (or even half a year). :cool:

Quote from RJC_pt :

We are clients, we are inteled with our view, morever, they chose their job.... and this job means exposure... i'm not madd just expressing my feallins towards what once was my fav. sim.
As i see it i preorder S2 back in setember 2004, and now almost 5 years since, s2 is not yet released, if that is not ugely disapointing i don't know what is... stop patching, gain courage and release it already... even if just a status change, its a statment of moving on...
remenber the s1 days? when there was REAL progress? thoses were good times inded...
i wish them the best really.... wish that s3 will be good enough to give lfs a new life.

Nice point of view, BUT you forgot that any other developer would have called it S2 a looooong time ago. It's only the high standards of the devs that keep lfs from reaching S2-status. Or do you experience many bugs and crashes? I don't think so.
I'd also like it better if lfs would be updated in a more regular fashion, but I'd also like to win a few million dollars..... So... just relax, play any game that suits you and be happy if something gets released that suits your wishes....

What bothers me most about not being able to get an answer from the constructor of the rinoseat is that there is also absolutely no info on the official homepage. It just annoys me so much that I don't know whether there will be an answer ever.
Perhaps he shut down his buisness, but why doesn't he then take down his homepage as well?
Ahh... so many questions and no answers in sight... :irked:

Nah.. the obutto is much to big for my requirements... I'd hoped that there's someone who knows the manufacturer (renato) personally or got contact with him on a regular basis.
So for now my only option is to wait and hope that I'll get some information soon...
(Wanna sell your seat? )

I'm seriously considering to get me one of those rinoseats, but I've got a little problem: I've tried to contact the producer of the seats via three different e-mail adresses, but I don't get an answer. It seems like other ppl in another forum experience the same problem.
Does anyone of you know what's up with the buisness? Did anyone of you have contact to the manufacturer recently? It would be a shame if the seat wasn't available any more...
I'd appreciate any information about this.

NVidia users please answer these questions :

- Does AF work in LFS? (meaning, texture filtering 2x, 4x, 8x is different (better) than none or 1x)
- What graphics card?
- What driver version?

-AF works fine for me. I see definite changes between the different settings.
-NVidia Geforce 8800 GTS (640MB Memory)
-169.44 BETA Forceware

Edit: shift-F4 doesn't hurt anything.

For me it sounds like the videocard is getting too hot. Try playing with an open pc case and if that helps, clean your graphicscard and watch the temperatures.

Although I didn't test very much I'd like to say something:

PLEASE fix the weight penalties to on- AND offline mode!

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to setups and it's very annoying that you can't just take a hotlap set and alter it to right tyre-wear. In patch X10 you have to work on the whole suspension and things, what drives me crazy.
The even more powerful argument is, that you can't look at hotlap times of the cars to compare their performance in the race. So IMO the hotlaps become some kind of a addon for the nutters who just like hotlapping, but become totally useless for the usual race-driver.

Sorry for my english.

would you mind to post your settings? i've already tried pretty much, but nothing worked...

Hi there!
I got a new pc including a new videocard (8800 GTS), but now my lfs doesn't look good any more.
I got the latest drivers (163.71) and everything maxed up in the driver settings, but despite these actions I get white lines across the tarmac in lfs and the safety fences look like shit. (pretty jagged in the distance) I already read through this thread and the other one from Jakq, but I weren't able to find a solution. Anyone who's got the same problem solved? I attached two screenies for better understanding.

Quote from Markz :

I say LFSShop needs hats

+10 for that!

Hi guys!
I just wanted to make a suggestion: How about implementing server favourites in LFS-World, so you don't always have to scroll through the whole list, when in search of a particular server. I thought it would have been suggested already, but I couldn't find a thread about it.

Perhaps implement it as another tab in the "Racers and Hosts online" section. So you could add your preferred hosts there and you'd see immediately what's going on on your favourite servers.

Greetz,

P.S.: Please excuse my english.

Quote from Jakg :

We could call it the FXA, for FX-ARGH!!! pirate style - give it a parrot and wooden leg

Hehehehe! give me some of the stuff you're smoking! I nearly did a "real-world-rofl" !

Great idea! I'll definately purchase some shirts in the near future!
Aaaaaaaand I'D LOVE TO OWN A LFS BASEBALL-CAP!!! :clapclap:

Yes, it's a bug. No split times in lap number 2 (number 1 is outlap) and the "number" 2 isn't displayed at all when watching a driver.

It's the same for me. Before V2 I didn't ever notice the stutter when someone left the pits but since then I'm expieriencing a considerable lag (stutter) nearly every time someone leaves the pits.

Quote from Yaamboo :

I don't hear the kerb sounds everyone talks about and that I have been waiting for since pre-S1 times

Take the lx4, hit the curbs and listen reeeeaaaalllyyy hard. When you still don't hear it, try turning your engine volume down.

Edit: the sound gets louder the more pressure is on the tyres... so it helps if you try it with curbs on the outside of a corner.

Ok. Just tested U34... Here are my impressions:

I think the GTRs sound MUCH better now. I like the sound of the FXR very much and XRR is good, too, but the FZR still lacks a certain nastyness (The FXR got the kind of roaring i want to hear! So it's not a constant tone, but more like the same tone played very fast repeatedly). The sound lfs plays now when you hit the curbs needs to be a little louder (hearable). That'll ad a big deal to the atmosphere...

Just my 2 cents.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

just a bit of info to say all sounds in lfs are meant to be the "replica" of the sound prior to helmet. so if u wanna u use helmet while playing to get the helmet effect. sounds are done "without helmet".

Oh.. I thought it should sound like you're sitting in the car with a helmet on...
If that's not the case (like you stated) then the "muffling" is even worse. It sounds like you've got huge amounts of wax in your ears... :tired:
