I have yet to find a game that feels so at home with VR as LFS does. All the features in the test patch make a big difference in my dads rift dk2 also

epic

love it , sounds like my old scaletrix or my electric rc buggy very eventful race

thank you for your work, it is appreciated nice job

salems lot, the langoliers , pet cemetery, all great books

Still what i shown are facts, such as the following, yes the total amount of players may have fallen but that can be said for nearly every game, it has not fallen to a level that makes it so there is no racing, the most damaging thing to LFS is not the lack of content but misguided information, newcomers who have not tried the current content would not be concerned about the latter







Over the past 10 years

Quote from lfsrm :

Just what's its full potential ?, doing 100 laps for 10 years every day on each track ? people have different tasts and some have their favorite track/car combination, without taking into account other factors ( life, jobs etc..)

I still believe for LFS case the slow development pace isn't the main cause of recent multiplayer activities, I mean..ahem..steam.... .

Thats my point, most of the moaners have done about the equivalent of 50 laps a week and a total of 27475 laps w. Of cause people have their best combo's that are more enjoyable but what is gonna happen anyway when something is released, the moaners will do 100 laps and not bother again

Quote from MousemanLV :

Fair enough but it is more than obvious that the pro racing scene is gone pretty much forever. The overall skill level is pretty low and the online scene is dominated by cruise servers. Reminds me of CS 1.6, it just kinda exists. Is it a bad thing? Oof, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

You're obviously clueless then, get to race with a few WR holders often on our servers both in daily racing and weekly event, i reckon at least half of the racers would have more skill than you seem to have

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that does not make your wild guess's and trying to pass as true, you last joined a server in early 2018 so anything you presume now is based on assumptions

The thing now is, on bl2 for example, more racers are at the top end of laptimes such as 1.11s, so its not as exclusive but hard to get still. its harder competition/races which is a bonus

@numbazzz I just see you repeating what others have already stated.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

yes she has a very comfortable voice.
i can tell by her breaths that she defo knows how to sing
and she does so very well indeed .

thanks il pass the compliment on i was going through a few video's today and believe i found my new favourite song, by tom walker and red hot chilli pipers, it is a song he wrote for his friend after he noticed he was going though depression and drugs

madbird if you end up online and would like someone to practice with you on any licensed track, search for my username (most likely be on mrc formula bmw i would then be more than happy to join you and help with any setups ect (ive 1000s)

Quote from MousemanLV :

Should point out more important things than telling how skins might not look as good as you want them online. Pioneer pretty much said it above. It's not that the people who might be against the way things have turned out for LFS, it's just sad to see how things have changed, or not changed since 2009.
:/

You say things have not changed? i say you have selective memory !, updated blackwood and westhill with rockingham and the best full VR support along with many fixes regarding the ddos and other bugs.

The thing that is common between those complaining is they have not even tried the current product to its potential. Its quite funny to have some false sense of entitlement, you purchased LFS as is and anything added since is an extra

Quote from cargame.nl :

It's like Formula One these days, first two battle for position and the rest joins the parade. It's not racing whats going on, it's cruising in a race-a-like environment. The race Gods are either passed away or permanently moved to another sim.

yawn your so wrong, some of the fastest racers ever in LFS race these days. You think its a two car race, you could not be more wrong, if its a race on our formula bmw server for example you would come up against anything up to 6+ racers that get 1.11 lap times and the majority of others getting mid 12's which makes some great racing.

If the account you use is the account you first used for LFS, it would mean you started racing 7 months before me, and i still get to race as many people as back then apart from the guys/girls from oval racing, and even then they race elsewhere on LFS still or are members of MRc. A lot of racers that would race on your servers are still about racing

LFS may be less active overall but its far from dead yet

I have not raced as often this month as usual but still i have encountered 800+ racers

The following is not even the full list but shows many and there is still a quarter of the list to go.

Quote from lucaf :

Check "Show also empty servers" and you find more race servers...with S3 you may see also some empty Rockingham servers
If want some action then check https://www.lfs.net/leagues/calendar

As above but also look out for at least our s2 server, and even if no one is on our S2 server if you come and got me from the MRC Formula Bmw server id follow you to the server and more than likely a few more to follow me.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

Adam White has many tracks on his back. in the trance genre.
many vocalists in trance is form all over the place in other genres like gospel, rock, and so forth.
a good example is tammy wynette along with the KLF back in the day.
many others in trance genres are also using vocalist singers from game music makers and from film . so its quite common actually. im gonna give it a listen as i dont know this specific track. Blackhole blasts a ton of music to the world each year. some passes by at times


From a Russian label is what im listening to now.
its in the ambient / chillout genre. very cool. and alot more of it from astropilot music.

Kyoto - Destiny Child (album mix)

https://kyotoam.bandcamp.com/t ... o-destiny-child-album-mix

Astropilot Music is his label name. AstroPilot his artis name. his a oldschool music maker with the HIGHEST Tech Equipment you can think of. this guy has a whole room full of mixers and buttons. even on the walls.sound spectrum is in favor from this label. and they choose to show you this by making the most dreamy hypnotic heavenly ambient and chillout form his label. i would describe Astro Pilot as a unseen ruff diamond you dont notice as such. but he is infact a highly skilled old "shark" in the music industry. i known him for more than a decade now !

if you got your sound set up with studio sound. you got yourself a good label to fill it out with this one.

Sheena the vocalist is a vocalist to hire for solo work aswell as her being in the band, just a wide variety of music she has done, she is very accomplished having also been on TV in both thailand and brazil, she also has a degree in law and teaching and done some modelling and radio work(https://uk.linkedin.com/in/sheenavocals). But music is where her heart is and i love the track with adam white, great bit of music

thank you for the info, i don't have a vr headset and i was thinking to buy one in the future, i have a middle specs system i5 4670 with gtx 1060 for now

similar system to my previous one, will work brilliant with VR and LFS, i highly recommend it

Quote from Bob Smith :

The ability to be able to independently tune for lateral stiffness versus vertical deflection could be used to great benefit on off-road racing. I'm not sure why these aren't more mainstream yet.

I could definitley see the benefit for off-road use, such as hill climbing, the current use is kinda off-road being sit on lawn mowers and factory machinery

Quote from AtomAnt :

So a while ( years maybe) I posted this CHILD...and to respect the post..pls watch her at age 7.

Then yah wonder..What are they up to now...just like this thread..and it just blows me away.

Just WOW, amazing as a child guitarist nevermind being even more amazing when older

The lead singer 'Sheena' in my friends band Venus rising, done a collaboration with adam White and AJ Gibson and Blackhole Recordings at the end of last year, great track also considering it is a stray away from her usual genre.

Quote from psy00 :

I know it’s not good but i’m curious , can you run the game 50hz /50fps in vr and it’s smooth or not?

With the rift it locks to 90 fps and 75 with the older DK2 at which it would be smooth, as soon as it starts to drop below you notice stuttering and screen tear, after it drops greatly it would cause a disconnection between the rift and computer

On my first computer which is an i7 with a strix 1070 gtx 4gb it runs perfectly but on my second pc which is an a8 6600 3.2ghz apu it has problems using either my 1070 or my msi gtx 970 4gb, both have 16gb ram. i can only guess its to do with the cpu/apu, as the APU has really weak single core processor power

I have been having the same problem on my 2nd PC, which i am assuming is either down to having a cr@ppy APU which has poor performance on single core usage(AMD A8 6600K Black Edition), i tried my gtx 970 4gb in my other computer and it had no problems so guessing its the APU

Quote from DRIFTFox :

My lap times are around 1:35 while everyone else's is 1:30. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ENJOY A GAME WHERE I HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST ANYONE?!?!

do as everyone else has done and practice and determination and advice on the track, and relax

Quote from David 96 :

Basically this, that's the main reason I don't race online. There are no users matching my skill level, so considering there's only high skilled drivers online, that would mean like doing a time attack, because i get gappped quickly. And the SP with the AI is really bad as well

The problem with this mentality is we all have started racing being slower than others but you use that to give you the motivation to improve. Both with online racing and event races that we provide i see a wide variety of skilled drivers. I know that it feels demotivating when it seems everyone else is faster but take the positive from it, if you complete races then thats a win regardless of position as the more skilled do not always get to finish
