What i don't understand, when people say, that they are very happy with the graphical aspect of the game and then, on the other hand, the first thing they do is downloading some mods of better textures and what so ever to improve that and to have more a realistic image when playing...its a litle bit contradictorry, isn't it?

What i mean with it, is that the LFS development should not only concentrate on the physics, as it will come some day, specially when dx10 will be out with all the new games having stunning graphics, so that LFS will look odd in comparison. Just think of new customers, coming to the website to have a look to the game and they see the graphics that were ok 6 years ago. I think that the mayority of them wont even donwload the demo to try it. Perhaps i'm here the only one, but thinking of myself i don't buy now a game that has been on the market since 6 years and that is by far not at the same level as current games.

I agree that physics development is very importnant es well, perhaps even more than graphics, but in some time in the future, perhaps not in the next 2 - 4 years, but at least then, LFS must get better graphics to survive on the market. LFS can't do that with the now existing amount of players, there must come more! You can't stay on the idea that new players will come only because of the good physics in the game, there must be more!!

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

I bet Scawen is not really happy about that and while S2 will be finished then we can see in early alpha stage of S3 some DX9 stuff already from Scawen.At that time he will be also at the point if DX10 will be really required or not.

But thats exactly what i want to say...i don´t mean adding now dx10 features or try force development of s2 to dx10. The think is, if that thinks could be added in future..perhaps in a view years, when development of the physics has advanced more and the most wanted improvments have been added.
The point is, why not add dx10 engine when the game is so far developed, that "only" the graphical aspect will be missing. Just imagine, LFS S3 or even S4 and with DX10...as i just mentioned before, bether than my grilfriend!

well..nobody argues about that...
But the case is, that for now, or better for the future, DX10 is the best engine for the best graphics. You can´t get the effects with a DX8 engine that you could get with a dx9, or dx10. Right?

Quote from Becky Rose :

I definately agree with this, if LFS just had fancy graphics and standard physics I definately would never have even bought it in the first place.

well...but thats not the case. LFS has amazing physics. OK, there is still space for improvement. But imagine the game how it is right now, with its physics, and amazing graphics?? Woow, i would leave my girlfriend and marry LFS!

dx10 isn´t just a higher nr than dx9...Its a completly remodification of what was before. Just look at games like crysis, for example. Thats amazing, and its the first game running with dx10. Remember the first games with dx9? Not that big difference to 8..but with the later games...

The point with vista or not...when LFS could get DX10 ready, there might 10 years going. Since then, I think nobody will stick to Windows XP anymore...

Why not dx10?
My dreams of a perfekt racing sim. is, what LFS is trying to be by now, a physically perfekt game but also with a realistic enviroment!
If the physics are there, lets have it all realistically done! ( Ok..it might take still a couple years, but why not? )

I think that thats even the case if S3 should come out with dx9...
So one step further and you have dx10! Right?

By then, a game that scratches perfection not only in a graphical manner but also in its physical attitudes.
Could that be the future or only a dream?
What do think about it? What capabilities could the game have?

Mouse-Pad Driver on the Laptop! Trust me, that suuucks!
That might be the reason, why im not winning any races..

Quote from AndroidXP :

Yes, it's a very powerful tool

Btw...
(I'm not sure, but I think LFSW is mentioned within LFS, too?)

Its very strange..you have a site/tools like lfswordld, which increases the value of LFS by much ant the only adverd or link to that is a crappy blue link on the upper left corner in the forumsite! I think the marketing department is missing...
But..otherwise..i thank god that i found that site now!! so i have something that i can enjoy now my first time and you not!!

i'm feeling like the first time i discovered LFS...my thoughts were: wow..that is a real good racing game! i love it!
and now...wow! a lot of tools and info i get! wow..lets race more!!

i know..but its like on the upper left part of the screen where nobody looks at..well, at least me!

WTF!! I don't know since when im using LFS but today i discovered a brand new thing of LFS, and i have to say, i'm impressed!!
Why could nobodytell me, that there is something so incredible like lfsworld out there! Its realy amazing what info you can get from there...
I'm like a small child smiling around that i found that!
Hell..you have to do more advertising for that!!

I sold ya face because I´m a stupid fanboy!

That makes sense!! Yuhhuuu

well...i don´t think its that bad!!
I mean, it gives more the impression of beeing the driver, not just the "car" which you drive.

I was thinking about that today: I don´t know any racing sim, where you have an first person view from the inside of an helmet.

I mean, woudn´t it be even a more realistic feeling driving such sportscars with really feeling inside the drivers body??

You could also if driving a Formel one-type car put out the protectionstrips of the helmet if visibility is bad.

Or perhaps even hear your breathing nois when driving fast into curves where the centrifugal force is big?

What do you think about that?

Yeah, DO IT! I like to have a customed LFS!

I think you are all right...why working alone if you have a whole bunch of people who would help you. Nevertheless we are a community and we all are interessted in a good working sim. !

that would be great!
Im trying to do the same with the dds files, but i even can´t open them! What program do you use? Photoshop???

Hi,
Im very intrested to know if ater a collision the deformations change the aerodynamic of the car. If it isn´t so, it would be very nice to implemented.
thanks and bye!!

Or he's S2 licensed, but doesn't use that account for posting. Why don't you give him the benefit of the doubt?

i have a licens! But i had no idea that i had to login in the forum with the orinigal account. and i had no idea that if i login with another account i would be instantly accused! thats sad!

ps: i have no idea f* how to crack a game!

hi there!
In what circuit and with what settings and cars did you pass the 300 km/h barrier?
I only did it once with the v8 in the kyoto ring!
