Quote from George Kuyumji :I think the feeling of Speed is very good in LFS, 100 km/h really looks like 100 km/h and not like 300 km/h in PGR for example. But then I also have TH2GO and that added really alot to the immersion and feeling of Speed. I think the feeling of Speed is excellent in LFS, but I'm always wondering if the cars are to fast, some cars who are close to cars I have driven in the real life are just a little bit too fast from 0-100 km/h or on a Quartermile, they seem to me like about 2 seconds too fast from 0-100 and approximately 3 seconds too fast down the Quartermile... Especially the Road Cars.

As Woz said, the FOV setting really affect the sence of speed you get. Just as it should.
This is not an issue in LFS at all, it's a setup issue.

'piginfo' at the moment, although I wish there was an option to get rid of the number plates. How many RL racing cars have them?

I wish you could have the option of a vinyl on the rear passengers window.

We all make spelling mistakes, but I expect people to at least have a go. Especially those who's native tongue is English.

In 10 years I expect the English language will be a messy hybrid of text message abbreviations and l33tspeak. The way the majority speak and write now will seem like some sort of ye olde Shakespearian dialect to the next generation.

Quote from Woz :I hope we get a GFX update in S3 to bring in dynamic lighting so we can have day/night changes and I would like to have rain but things like blur effects are pointless. Things like blur are a quick "hit" but are shallow, I would prefer good looking graphics running at really fluid speed and then let the eyes do the blur. Its a bit like the sample vs created sounds argument
where initially samples sound better but don't give information about the engine state etc so in the long run most prefer generated sounds.

Well said Wozza and I could not agree more. I think that a lot of modern graphical effects (blur, bloom etc) do not really work well, especially in a sim. Maybe 5 years down the track this will change but for now I would prefer functional graphics in LFS.

Look at them in order for full effect.

The game is arse but by god it's fun arse.

LMAO when my Dodge rolled out the back of my plane while it was ascending. I must have forgotten to close the cargo ramp properly.

Anyway the car got caught up in one of the plane polygons causing the car to violently bounce around inside the plane for a few seconds. This in turn cause a catastrophic wing failure in my plane and the whole lot came crashing down in a big, fiery mess on the side of a mountain.

I could do this for hours...

Have they been able to make it run properly on older machines?
e.g. Athlon 3000+ 6800GT 1Gb RAM?

It's a song by Ween, but I can't remember what it's called.
Sorry.
A movie!

This is a movie I made a while ago but never posted here.
I have gone through my Slo-Mo movie checklist, and everything is in order:
  • Dreamy music that most people will dislike - CHECK
  • Unrealistically soft setup - CHECK
  • Dodgy camera angles obtained by using the Shift+U interface while recording - CHECK
  • Silly racing lines and corner speeds to make the car slide - CHECK
  • Obligatory crash at the end - CHECK

Hope you enjoy.

Yep, I'm one of those racers who finds the peripheral vision in the cockpit unrealistically bad, so I use a custom bonnet cam.

Although I haven't been there for a little while, the STCC servers put the zest for life back in to LFS.
Well populated servers using cars I like driving!
Thanks to Becky and all those involved.

Off while racing. I can't stand all that text clogging up the screen.
I'll flick them on for a moment sometimes if I need to identify someone for one reason or another.

Shift+F is the next step, but I can never remember what the hell gear I'm in...

Quote from N I K I :But whit music it has some better filing doesn't it?

Not when the 'song' has random engine sounds.
I would also argue that in-car vids are more suited to engine sounds.
