I've heard stories like that too, many times.
For some strange reason, they never want to play online with me
(if I happen to have a game we are talking about).
I've tried in both versions (Z10 and Z patch) and can only reproduce it at the first corner (Aston Club), behind the tires, in both Z and Z10 patch.
Your report that is at the last corner near the barrier I can't reproduce either in Z or Z10 patch.
BTW, since this is clearly not a bug in test patch, but "old" LFS bug, we probably shouldn't discuss it here
I can't reproduce it with clean installs (no 3rd party add-ons) of Z patch and Z10 test patch
UnknownMaster21:
Could you test again with clean installs (like me) and if it happens again post some more details how to reproduce it (is it a race/practice; what weather; custom color/some of the presets etc.)
Edit: Ok, I can also reproduce it on first corner like LFSn00b (Z10 and Z patch), but no luck at the barrier like UnknownMaster21
Yes, but same as now, it will not work online if it's cracked (I guess).
To much ifs and guesswork with this, so I'm gonna back up now .
Lets all be healthy and see the day S3 comes to download section
Yes, but everything that updates the core is available for S1, S2, S3 and demo too, not just S3 exclusive .
So at the end of the day, cars and tracks are what is different among S1, S2 and S3.
Why do you say that? Becouse S3 is far away from now?
Well, we don't really know how far is that "far", might be not that far after all
Well, we have 2 cars unplanned in S2 release (3 with VWS). Sure, two of them are SSs, and might not be that unique, but they are there and who knows what will happen in the future.
Don't get me wrong, I would too love new content and whatnot, but I'm happy with how LFS is progressing (sort of)
GTA IV videos look good too, but truth is far from that
I'm not saying LFS is buggy like GTA IV, just making a point
Because features may be over hyped and it will never be as good as in our heads, even if they are pretty much spot on
That is just one reason of the top of my head.
As for tracks and cars add-ons.
Licences are sold for content (cars and tracks) they offer.
If they release more tracks and cars now, what the hell they would offer for S3? Cookies?
I don't consider it delayed, but I also don't hang around here waiting for it.
That "early 2009" term is relative.
Community is the one who started defining what is early '09 and so on.
I don't think some simple 2 line post from devs will help.
Community will define "soon" as week/two weeks, most probably in days even,
and start moaning all over again after a week of silence
Anyway, I'm going home and do something else with my free time 'till I receive mail saying patch is out
This reply not even 2 months old isn't enough, STF?

Anyway, I really don't know what to say about this talk in this thread, mixed emotions.
I understand some views, some are plain ridiculous, and other just stupid (NHF :shrug.
As much I would like (as anyone else, probably even Scavier) more public info and whatnot, sometimes that just isn't possible for varius reasons. Even for simple things like making a plan for shopping, let alone a big buisness.
For example, for a week I'm putting off going to shops to buy new gear for riding and I love riding bikes, but I just didn't had the energy to go look around or more important stuff got in a way.
I can go into speculation mode too and say that maybe they are reworking their master plan becouse of new sims on the market are gettin' pretty damn good.
Two years ago I didn't even think about any other sim (not counting GPL and RBR), but it seems market has taken a sharp turn and you know (well, some maybe) 2 years can fly like nothing so to speak.
Please don't go naming other sims flaws now, that's not the point.
All I can do right now is keep my faith in Scavier, good luck guys!
P.S. I didn't play LFS for a long long time (any other car race sim too), but still when I go for some pick up racing every now and then,
there's always (and I really mean always) a grin on my face after a session. Not something that happens on much other sims, or games in general for that matter.
That tells something, after all this time.
Sure, call me fanboy now .
Long "P.S.", eh?
