Quote from Scawen :Dear Racers,


[..]

but we like the results!

Dear Racers with a capital R.. Directly followed by a demo of a parking garage. Haha.

But okay I understand its a location where you can see the effect the best and the results are looking nice so far (although the light bars look totally fake). It takes massive amounts of time but hey Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour. Lets see what happens when time rolls into 2021 when at least another big viruswave will occur.

it's better to do yearly reports imo

unlocks the feature to skip this monthly whining Wink

which is flawed since the introduction of cruise (at least the caption licensed racers is wrong), demo is quite accurate though because demo theoretically has no cruise.

Short burst of interest during the whole covid hype but as expected dropping back to early year levels by now which is near zero activity. Unless you are really hardcore, dedicated I would pass and wait until something structural happens. You can subscribe to the email update feature @account settings (I believe)

What my opinion about VR is has exactly zero to do with it. The problem is that you have a biased view on everything related to LFS. If the next release involves blue colored grass you still would rave about it. But, setting the whole "you this - you that" discussion aside..

1) New user comes with stuttering video
2) community replies, its normal, by design. In general this sim is ahead of its (VR) time. It does everything better then anything else on the market
3) new user says, well if its being seen like that then I'm out of here

Pretty bad order of events. The only structural reply would be; it's a known issue and being worked on. Not something like, ah ye.. Well.. Everything else is great, just buy it.

On a personal note, its stated nowhere that I do not like VR. Don't speak for me, you are not in a position to do that. Nobody actually. If you are confused or have questions, ask. /out

Except being able to produce a smooth video.. Quite essential.

If as a community you need to tell newcomers that its by design and that this sim is ahead so much in time.. Is just... No words.

Hilarious.

seems that you are new to the party but no, this jerking has not been addressed yet. Its in the works though and I guess it's top priority because VR is going to be eehh.. Never mind, not going to start that discussion again Smile

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :While the race was intended to get locals interested in Live For Speed, no locals showed up.

However a few racers around the world did, these are the results.

Well, it was probably done with the best intentions but I also would not be interested in something which contains, corona, virus, covid or anything related to the current situation. It should not be exploited for marketing. For me personally this whole situation is already dramatic, no need to be confronted again in some sort of game / event with it. I mean, there is also no cancer 500, HIV 500 etc. .. Is it?

Something positive would be far better. Media sells negativity, entrepreneurs have to be positive

Quote from mbutcher :I wish there was a like/upvote system here for posts like that. Good stuff.

That would be a really bad idea. It promotes non communication.

Quote from Sobis :I was about to say "hey, LFS web page is translated to many languages. I'm sure they should have the web page in their native language" but then I tried to actually change my language. The web page is translated but as you said, the shop itself is not translated at all. Strange, never noticed.

basically only the menu options are translated, I didnt even knew there are translations. Looks like Victor started with it but never was able to finish the most important bits. Doesn't matter, my reply was not to put the blame on anyone.. But.. If your main marketing tool is a website and this website is only in English.. Then don't be surprised that the rest of the world sets up "alternatives".

There is also no language switch if you do not have an account but probably thats due to the fact that translations for the most important pages where never finished.

It's all marginal at this point, closing down and/or fighting illegal environments doesn't bring any substantial legal activity back. Updating the core does. Which happens to be in "the works". When this finally reaches some point of completion (testpatches are being released) I recommend to focus on the translation issue. It's quite important.


Quote from Racer Y : [..] What could they do about it?

you are chasing darkness with all these suggestions. It's really not enjoyable on any point in time so wouldn't recommend all this.

Quote from mbutcher :I think the thing that shocked me the most from that video is the number of downloads recorded on the mod files... If they're accurate, 200k downloads on the launcher, damn.

well.. there are 3 times the amount of Brazilians comparing to the UK population. ****ed around pretty well, tripling the population since 1960. Add to the fact that english is a top ranked international language but still ignored as a language by about 75% of the world population and the LFS main website/shop is only in English.. Then I am not surprised at all. Most people simply don't know better because they aren't provided with correct information in their own language.

What surprises me is that people are surprised in 2020 while there was a lengthy discussion about it in 2016 and even much earlier where I addressed this Youtube problem already multiple times (this is just one referral; https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1915422#post1915422 funny enough its about exactly the same crack group).

There seems to be no interest to do something about it, even a kid could do what I did with Youtube and it's not much effort at all. But eehh ye..

I guess its part of the whole LFS experience, yearly or semi yearly recurring discussions about exactly the same issues with extremely limited progress (not talking about LFS development in particular but rather the whole scene in general).

It doesn't work at all anymore for the last 8 years or so.

Write/program a new version yourself if you really want such an InSim. Learn, it's fun!

Ye, this illegal shit you mean? http://world.lfsturkey.net/ .. I know where you are coming from. It's a disgrace to ask for new stuff while having instructions how to crack/steal at the same time.

Well.. There is maybe nothing serious going on and you are simply on the no reply list (26) .. Basically you cannot contact/ping yourself, so you see the list like this but others do not. Thats why you are actually on LFSWorld I guess.

You should connect internally if you want to deal with your own server and not across the internet.

Some routers are actually capable of blocking internal (local) traffic between devices especially Wifi to Wifi but I guess this is not the situation here. Then there is Windows itself which can block communication. Make sure you have this @ cmd/run => firewall.cpl (see image). And have no other programs / virusscanners blocking or controlling the network.

Port scanning the local network IP can also help; https://superscan.software.informer.com/3.0/ its an old tool which I still use a lot. Sadly needs to be whitelisted @ "Windows Security" nowadays otherwise its being seen as a virus/trojan. Sigh.

Quote from BestRex : You call this development? I call it a joke.

Wait a minute. Are you the same guy with the 80286 and wanting to stick with it forever? And then dare to talk about development? It seems like you didnt even discovered how to wipe your own ass in these 15 years.

Stop trolling.

Quote from BestRex :Upgrading computer to keep playing very old videogame that I've been playing for ~15 years now? That sounds ridiculous! Old games should work with old hardware - that's the thing.

Guess what, it works!

Oh you want the -new- version to work on museum candidate equipment. Nah.

Quote from BestRex :Just don't cut out things - how hard can it be???

It simply doesnt work like that, the roads are also not designed anymore for mail coaches.

Anyway, nice trolling, you had your attention Wink

Quote from Flotch :OT : seeing the current price of crude oil ... I will not guess on less polluting way to get the economy back on when (if) the pandemy will be a bit over !

as renewable energy keeps growing and growing in Europe I do not think that in the upcoming decade fossil fuels are being used that much. The airplanes are a problem though, I do not see them replaced by high speed trains or this other idea which is not going to work (Hyperloop).

Going to take some time before the world has changed and/or recovered to begin with. Might be a decade or more because I think a system failure is coming up very soon now. Doesn't have to be bad, such a failure.. But.. Its definitely a period which will shock/change the world.

Either way, do not think that life will return "normal" in a few months. Because it will not, impossible.
