wow, no thanks. Staying clear of falling piano.

Yes, I agree with you MysticReverie. LFS is a solid piece of code/art. That's why it's been going strong for so many years. Welcome to the forum!

^^Well, the AC modding section connected the modders to the racers in a very pleasant way. Feedback for modders to see in an AC atmosphere. The forum design offers a nice interface with easy tools for communication. A gathering place. Time allowing, a new AC focus point will emerge, probably on the internet!

Addicted to FreeOrion at the moment.

Quote from truntteri :

ac have big input lag between steering wheel and virtual wheel. Lfs no lag. LFS BEST!

Hm, what input lag? There's none whatsoever with my setup (well, probably measurable, but nothing that can be felt or differs from LFS).
It must be frustrating not to be able to use the markets best sim at the moment (just my opinion). LFS is great too (especially netcode), but it falls behind in many areas now. Hopefully, Scawen has the time and motivation to push LFS back to the throne (considering family/house/hobbies...).
Still use LFS, but if I'm going to Blackwood, it's with the BMW E30 in AC.

I think AC and LFS should get together and have a baby.

Yay, Blackwood rallycross, got the new version, but havn't tried that layout yet. Good ol'days!

Check out the leagues section;

Hope you find something to your liking.

@Racer X NZ, haha, feel the same (in Sweden)

Since when is 30 old?

Until you turn 30, then 40 is old until you turn 40, then...

Thanks for the tip, kars19. Longford is a brilliant mod, indeed.
Yes, Boris, the baloon has AI

Yep, saw that too, more sugar on the cake!

Great stuff, indeed!

Yes we are, and yes, it works out nicely. Debate settled .

Yep, the NSX comes across like the Cobra and Miata. Wouldn't be surprised if it achieves official status eventually.

Quote from k_badam :

Is it as good as the rFactor mod though?

I can't compare since I havn't tried the rFactor version. All I can say is that it drives beautifully on my rig in AC. The looks aint bad either .
Random Callsign posted a personal review here if you wish to watch.

Another polished gem from the AC modding community (in case you missed it): Honda NSX (1991).

My 3yr old son prefer AC over GT and Forza. LFS is the second pick. He can actually do 1 lap at South City...
I believe LFS still has a place in the racing comunity due to the excellent netcode that Scawen provides. AC is good, but LFS is still better at multiplayer.

Interesting stuff. Must explore this later on. Perhaps can we make a manual together; "Lesson editor for crash test dummies".

It sure is a bit of a hassle to install and configure. I'm still on RSRBR2013 for most of the time but also have a 2015 version going.
It's funny how DR actually made me run RBR lately

+1
Just can't get enough

Looking forward to the release. Enjoy ETS2, quite relaxing. I even got into FarmSim15 recently, thanks to my little 3yr old son

I did a lot of testing during beta and actually enjoyed it. When it came close to final my interest dropped to nill as it took a direction I didn't like, physics-wise. It's still a very impressive piece of software but it simply doesn't deliver anymore (for me). AC came along and that's where I am now, still collecting revenue from CARS while going total pizza. Think I have +€80 something and promised my wife we'll spend any profits from this project on good wine. Wont go thirsty for a while

Quote from anttt69 :

Is AC a worthy successor to LFS or are they still struggling with frames & bugs.
Is it worth a purchase?.

Q1: Successor? Not quite due to LFS unrivaled king netcode and overall package completeness. AC is doing the job and brilliant MP races can be had, despite the lack of certain features.
Q2: Worth buying? Absolutely. The FFB/feeling has no competition imo. Just hotlapping puts a big grin on your face.

As a whole, I wish AC reaches the standards of LFS with all it's beautiful solutions/features. Or, that LFS eventually reaches AC levels of tyre physics/FFB (go Scawen! ). The modding community of AC has delivered some very impressive elements (tracks/cars/apps) which speaks for a long life.

In the end, only you can tell if it suits your gaming style.

Yep, got the track. Heaps of fun. Great video Boris.
