Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

if LFS devs was interested in valve.. why is LFS then not on valve/steam ?
if you read what i wrote

You should read what is being written on this forum.

The Steam(/Valve) thing is discussed numerous times already. Besides, game companies tend to move away from these platforms and create their own shop/launcher. Recent example, Rockstar. Why make the middle man rich while its not needed. LFS only needs a good paying provider.

edit: Hmm.. Skrill supports also bitcoin nowadays. Interesting. So there actually is not really a problem. Other then that you need to create an account which is an annoying process. True.

Quote from bishtop :

I agree about cargame servers,

lol, raised an eyebrow because no idea where this was referenced to.. But now I see its one of DK's (lengthy) postings. Well, may come as a shock to you but I skip those most of the time because of too much fantasy. Server adminning has nothing to do with development other then that server admins can request and/or can cause the introduction of new features. If you are against some kind of feature and have proper arguments then you should have been there at the time of the feature request. "Someone got beaten up", I don't know what nonsense this is but I never heard of such a story. Wild gossip should be put in The Sun, not this topic.

Most of feature requests are very well used (and not misused). It's an indication that they where good. Sort of satisfied to see this although not using them myself anymore. The elite has left the scene, quite hard to get this back, I even would claim it will be impossible because it's much more then just sending an email. However some sort of new elite can rise after some massive patch update, still interesting to follow developments because LFS racing subcommunity was more like a big family and not this trash talk what I read now here.

Do not fabricate your own stories to force your wish to have some global "official" LFS server environment. Maintaining servers cost a sh*tload of time and psychological energy. Not possible to be done by a development team, they have other stuff to do.

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

Incorrect. The update announced in 2008 has nothing to do with the content that has been shown and discussed in this thread. It is a progress report for an update that will be available somewhere in the future while Scirocco will be released in early 2009.

It has everything to do with 2008. As Scawen stated before he wants to get rid of the two different internal development versions. Remember that Eric refuses to work with the old tire physics ("our" version).

Quote from Racer X NZ :

LFS has it's own development speed and refuses to allow mods,

It does, it even has it's own server flag. But okay, it's quite limited. If car mods would be allowed with customizable "hitbox" it would already be a big step forward. The thing is that this alternative development build seems to block regular development for ten years now so we can discuss what we want but it doesn't matter.

Only thing what needs to be clear is that South City 2.0 on its own doesn't change anything other then some legal and illegal cruising servers going to be happy with that. And, some VR users. If the "worth to wait" comment was targeted towards this group it's fine. It sure stirs up some development discussion (again).

not everything written on the internet is true (anymore), this leak only existed for a short period last year

Quote from repeat83 :

r u from Russia?

no I am in Russia (until X-mas), not from. Having quite some experience now after almost a full year and its kind of silly that some parts are blocked from access like https://telegram.org but if you use a VPN everything is fine. Interesting to experience censorship and people who working its way around it (I mean the people who program the Telegram app and make it continue to let it work on all networks around the world).

Quote from pedro.de.marco :

Today that I'm reporting this imposter I found out that his website is taken down.

thats well done.. you can give Reza a call maybe to ask your money back?

It appears to me from caches that its probably a pirated environment of LFS but my Arabic is not very good.

Who is "they"?

8.3. Law Enforcement Authorities
If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you're a terror suspect, we may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities. So far, this has never happened. When it does, we will include it in a semiannual transparency report published at: https://t.me/transparency.

https://telegram.org/privacy#8-3-law-enforcement-authorities

Telegram tries to be as anonymous as possible, thats why its banned / try to ban it here in Russia. Without much success though

Quote from bishtop :

Most users .. 1000 laps in over 10 years and .. is not released

And? A forum is a discussion platform. An opinion is not less or more valuable based on the amount of laps, years or skin color.

Quote from Racon :

PS2 Gran Turismo forums

Its not PS2 Gran Turismo forums thats the thing, what does it say in the top middle?

If the developer claims that South City 2.0 is well worth the wait then people react on this, it's not really rocket science.

Quote from hondacivicc :

When does the 24-hour plug-in arrive?

To be expected with a larger massive update of tracks, shadows (+ greener grass ) and what not. Simply wait.

Nah, someone who's first language is English I reckon. It doesn't matter, the message is clear although I do not agree that it needs to be on iR/AC level. All it needs here is timed updates, in the past it was like that but it's not happening anymore now due to some tire physics delay of ten years (!). Can release any artificial track what you want and or graphical improvement but it all will not matter in gaining popularity because everyone knows the real problem.

for what reason did you install it?

Well.. The request is for offline use, I think it's quite a bargain.

The message is not about price, he likes to pay.. But there are not enough paying options because LFS non-Inc Ltd (what is it actually?) still doesn't think that much global. There are enough payment providers with a more then decent API to be able to build a better licensing webshop. Maybe with some proper motivation this will happen someday [..] but it looks like its patch depended. No use to do a lot of work when there is no demand of course.

The racing communities however, did not. These communities have left the project a long time ago now (and I have serious doubts it will ever return).

Quote from Flotch :

or tire's physics, ESP, ... anything

Would be nice ... As a start.

Quote from Specht77 :

Don't know how well it would run new blackwood and westhill

It doesn't run at all. Slideshow.

Ye Blackwood previous version with fony mirrors was quite OK on older systems but things have moved on... (A little).

Quote from neonmateo :

I think this post was made just to spread awareness of the scam not to "hire" users for information mining

hmmno..

Quote from Scawen :

EDIT: I don't know why they were searching for PMG in the first place...

But anyway, things like this;
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=117441892968435&id=112533423459282

.sk in this case again, people talking about it, find it very cheap blabla. Although the first comment already suspects scam. If the name of the company is being searched and positive reviews are being found from legit looking websites then people are more likely to fall for it.

Google indexed 1000 similar Facebook posts by the way and most probably is lagging with indexing, expect it to be much more. Strange, thought Facebook limits this kind of spam(/scam).

CPU is the limiting factor, I do not believe a celeron N4000 can run pretty well because it only has a 1064 passmark on a single thread.

it must be overloaded almost all the time which is pretty bad. Anything below 1500 passmark (single threaded performance!) cannot handle LFS properly. Maybe with low resolutions it can be 'rescued' a little, going below 1600x900 or something but why would you all want to go into that kind of trouble. i7/5/3 second generation at minimum I would say. Quite cheap nowadays, although I know there are places (avito.ru for example, lol) where people sell 10y old stuff as like it is gold.

Quote from simon1234 :

The stupid thing is they dont buy LFS but they pay money to the server host for admin privileges and to not lose bonuses on the cruise server's go figure LOL.

one of the simple reasons is that its not easy to buy a LFS license on various continents.

Oh and..

https://pmotorgroup.net/cars/2018audia3sportback15tfsislineauto22181/ .. You see that van on the background (click photo for full size)? Its this company:

https://www.arendauto.nl/voorraad/?merkmodel=audi&ref=cawmini SF-717-F is sold on 17-07-2019 (RDW data, exported no), I am quite sure of it, but I am too lazy to give them a call

Quote from JSHuiting :

but how would this József Vass even make a profit from it all?
Does pmgroup act like it sells cars online, but then never delivers them or something? Really confusing.

not confusing but I will (auto)-translate the email then;

Quote :

This Peugeot 3008 is still on sale, in excellent condition, does not present a mechanical problem and has not been involved in accidents.

We have all documents available, including the current registration register, maintenance history, certificate of compliance, warranty and a set of 2 keys.

I noticed that you are a new customer and I am therefore willing to tell you a few words about our company and how we operate. You must know that we are a British auction company and not an ordinary car dealership. This means that we do not have a showroom, because we only deal with vehicles taken over (leased vehicles), we store all the vehicles in a few warehouses and sell them online or through live auctions.

The price indicated on the website is the immediate purchase price (8100 EUR), which corresponds to the purchase price before the start of the auction. There is no VAT or additional tax to pay.

If the vehicle is not sold in a few days at the immediate purchase price, it will be auctioned (the auction will take place on September 12 at 9:00 am).

This car was seized by a Belgian owner and is currently stored in the warehouse of our Kraków subsidiary in Poland.

You can view / test and purchase the vehicle directly at our warehouse only if you attend our next live auction.

You can attend and buy a vehicle at the auction only if you are a car dealer or a merchant. We do not approve private buyers for the auction.

As a private buyer, you have the option to buy it before the auction only by paying the Buy Now price (shown on the website) and have the vehicle delivered. In this case, you will benefit from our 5-day return policy. This means that you can check the car after delivery as we will give you 5 days to inspect the car, then decide whether to keep it or not.

We are able to deliver this vehicle with our trailers anywhere in France (shipping costs vary depending on where you are). The cost of delivery in Simiane-Collongue, France is 380 euros.

The car will be delivered by a trailer within 7 days of confirmation of payment.

We will provide a purchase contract that will clearly indicate that the car has no problem, that it has a one-year warranty and that we also have 5 days to return it free of charge.

Let me know if you are interested and I will explain the procedure of purchase and delivery.

The "buy it now" button does not work by the way, so some other scam will happen I guess.. Some transfer request by email probably or phone.

Of course a car never gets delivered.

Yeah.. Massive amount of fake Facebook pages about this "company" pmgcars.net pmgltd.net are other domains and they tried to be active on auto.bazar.sk but advertisements got removed as far as I can see. (Hard to understand the language). Trustpilot also has an entry for this website since the end of August ( https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.pmotorgroup.net ).

But they are also active @France, they even respond in French language by mail; https://www.caroom.fr/forum/posts/pmotorgroup-net-pilling-motors-arnaque-351.html

Well... Hhmm.. Can I mention a certain wind starting with S ending on occo? Should be S1 content ..

its already just 12 pounds for S2 (Bulgaria) and the pound also collapsed, whats the problem?

disk full would be my first guess

What do you think?

Alright because you asked: Its not an arcade game and/or something for losers or grannies.

No, LFS does not run on Android.
