Awesome vid indeed Steven, as said before in this thread... this one and Szwei should be used for advertisement all over the world!
Great stuff... goosebumps...

Just spread this link! http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=xZW1JOkZJBA
The quality's a bit lower, but it's a lot more convenient for others to watch.

Quote from farcar :

Only one track should be availabe, and no GTR or formula cars.
But, PLEASE get rid of the XR GT Turbo. It is far too inaccessible for demo racers and I'd imagine it would be turning people off in droves.

I think I could agree with this. Even if nothing is added, maybe the demo would be better without the turbo. It's simply too much to handle for newbies, and with the current tire model issues combined with the lackluster default setups, it gives a bad impression.

Quote :

Might as well leave the XR GT in there for the drifters, but it's quite a pointless car otherwise.

It's not pointless. FWD and RWD feel different enough to require at least one of each.

Quote from tristancliffe :

It's a difficult situation. The big LFS fans want it to progress, the beginners want it to progress, but might not be active enough to realise an update has been released or how to install it, and the devs don't want to distrupt the game. At the end of the day it's the devs project, so their wishes I guess come first.

I think what's really needed is a way for the client to get a message from the master server when going online if there's a new patch out. Then inform the user in an annoying popup that the current version is out of date before displaying the atrophied server list. Or better yet, an autoupdate function(that would probably eat too much bandwidth though).

Quote from Chazzi :

Wow, a friendly forum AND quick replies -you are now in my bookmarks! The wife will probably give me more ballache for being on the 'net more than I currently am but what the hell!

Unless of course she ends up liking LFS too! :uglyhamme

Crap on a stick that was an awesome movie on all fronts. That tilted high angle shot of the LXs climbing the uphill chicane was a visual orgasm.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Going back tomorrow (trade pass ), and apparently Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needell are going to see if they can beat the times set by Fordie and me! NO CHANCE

So did they beat you?

Don't get rid of your link yet! You have more than double the upload speed of moviespit.

Quote from Kryten :

Maybe you could ask for permission to recreate the Top Gear test track for LFS.

SECONDED! :cookiemon

Very nice footage. Too bad about the unfortunate music choice though.

Quote from Syxxpacc :

well during late S1 we had a thing called LFS Radio i still have the same idea to bring that radio alive again, but im stuck atm because i cant seem to find anyone to host a shoutcast server but atm things are looking bright again and hopefully LFS Radio will be alive and kicking once again, but til then u have to cope with other things

Why not piggyback on http://www.radiosimracing.com? They already host one LFS broadcast, and there's plenty of gaps to fill in their schedule.

Live IRC commentary is arranged on Chensta's channel #lfsracing on gamesurge. Gu3st will be your commentator.

I was there, but I didn't hear much commentary.

I vote Bob be made a beta tester and given the task of making easy to drive default setups.

Quote from Shotglass :

i just hope scawen will pipe out incompatible patches as they are finished and not care about the hotlappers too much

Hear hear, screw the hotlappers until S2 is finalized.

They're working on a new patch. Did you completely miss this thread? http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=2335

Did you forget about the Nations Cup race today?

Are there any central websites where you can see race results and reports for all active LFS leagues?

Can it be made to also consider members of your buddy list to be online if they're logged on to lfsworld or browsing the in-game server list?

oops, my mistake. The big wing at the back threw me off.

Look again. All the cars FXO GTRs. Apparently they have gotten it on tv, but I don't know if it's a normal or public access channel. What's wrong with Mexico? :P

LFS racing on TV! It looks like they aired five races so far. It's a pretty good production too for its limited budget, The only thing I missed was time gaps at each lap/sector. I hope they'll get enough sponsor interest to fund more shows.

How about one of these?

If you're going to mod the videos for a looping display, I suggest you concentrate on shots that highlight the physics, especially the suspension. Things like bouncing on kerbs in corners, side to side weight shifts in a chicane, the slight 4 wheel drift you can get on long sweepers with the road cars or a downhill run of AS Historic's "eau rouge" in an LX. When I watch videos, I find that kind of visual really makes LFS' realism stand out. The GTRs sure look pretty, but because they're set so tight and don't bounce around much, it tends to "feel" like you could be watching any other game like GTR or GT4.

Nice design on the website, very easy to navigate. I've been waiting for another league that caters to North American time zones, so I'll definitely take part.

I want my inline 8-cylinder with skinny bias-ply tires, and no roll cage or doors.

I tend to leave empty servers off because of the long time it can take to download the list only to end up with mostly empties and a load of all car servers. I know you can use the side buttons flip through the classes, but it would be convenient to have something to show them all at once. It would also be easier to leave empty servers on when getting a full list to quickly flip through the side filters later, as you'd be downloading a significantly smaller server list.
