Laguna Seca

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Thats exactly the thing i would love to see in LFS, like the skidpad, but soaking wet.

yeah!!!

rallying?...
Imagine drifting in wet weather
Looks like fun with water shooting out the back of your car

Thanks Sir,

but I have some problems now.

-NET Framework 2.0 = installed
-Fonts installed with drag&drog into fonts directory
-liveForg15 extracted into a folder on desktop; insim and correct directory added

so the problem: If I start liveforg15.exe ERROR can't start.

What could it be?


Thanks: )

pm your messenger address

everyone please try and add site links

Quote from deggis :

Weather and day time change is over rated feature as long as it's only about graphics and "road surface grip -50%". And proper simulation of water on the road would need a supercomputer anyway. Pointless especially when currently approximately 2 servers are using these current cloudy/evening lightning settings.

um...

I have seen at least 20 or 30 using the new light settings....

Quote from Juls :

This week I found a new one... Virtual Grand Prix 3

This is an online/offline single seater simulation, with a tyre model similar to LFS one (brush-like), a learning AI, it is moddable and comes with a track editor.

Unfortunately no-demo. Pay per year system.


It seems virtual grand prix sims have been there for a while (from 1998!!!)...very confidential.

I have heard of it before, I don't think it was that good but I never played it
I will put it on the "YET TO BE RATED" section

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

Please say if you think it is based on the physics and immersion...
AWESOME, GOOD, BAD, HORRIBLE or YET TO BE RATED

Farmer Simulator



please

lol, well it is a simulator lol

Quote from hyntty :

Hmm... Since TG has their "Road signs" campaign going on and people can send in their pictures, I presume they're still filming? Maybe you ought to send your simulator to teh BBC

if it was ours, yes

Quote from Lynce :

Working on it.

edit: crap, missed page 3 entirely.

comment 101 would be page 3

Quote from IcePheonix95 :

ok thanks guys does anyone know when s3 wil be released?
And will it cost more?

I'm guessing 3 to 5 years from now until they release the first Alpha of S3... and it would cost more again for S2 users to upgrade to S3, probley just like the transition from S1 to S2...
But no one can say when it will be released, even the devs don't know because anything could come up and delay it or speed it up

Gran Turismo 5 Prolouge (Spec II Update) (PS3)
Anyone tried the spec II?
I don't think there is physics updates...

Please lose the underlines, they offend my sense of design

and I read this as I look at you signature
the underlines are the links

Quote from Crommi :

Rating only physics and immersion, they're definately awesome and improvement over LFS.

wow, physics better than lfs?
sweet
expensive tho...

Quote from Crommi :

It's not a sim and even as a arcade racing game it's total garbage.

That explains why it is free

Quote from Crommi :

Well, "Awesome" would mean it's almost perfect which none of the sims are, atleast in my opinion. Furthermore, what makes the sim good for you depends on personal needs and preferences. I don't see modding or customization being essential part of the sim if basic package is good enough while others might find it very limiting.

This applys to all the people who have told me games to put on the list and haven't said how good it is
And also applys to future posts too

again here aswell:

Quote :

TIRES, TIRE WEAR AND TELEMETRY

BHMS: There will be tire wear in S2, does this mean that there will be a soft, medium or hard compound?

Scawen: I can't say for sure until it's done - at first in testing we'll have one compound and see how it goes from there. It's not needed in LFS at the moment so much as in real life, because we don't have the changing weather conditions that we expect to add in S3.

Quote from mcintyrej :

S3 will be a long way away, S2 isn't even done. Also - who actually said that we're getting weather and night in LFS? I've not seen Scawen say it before.

Scawen didn't actually answer that, but Victor did...

Quote :

WEATHER

BHMS: Loads of questions came in about weather, what kind of weather effects we are looking for in S2, or do we have to wait until S3 to see them?

Victor: Weather effects will not be in S2, but will indeed have to wait for S3. It's not completely decided what effects there will be, but an old wish is to have 'real time of day' (position of sun). So that includes night driving. And a weather system would not be complete without at least having rain for wet road surfaces. Looking forward to that myself

There are 3 pages, I saw this on page 2

Quote from danowat :

You can't really bastardize the word to suit your own understanding of it, a simulator is a simulator, you could say rFactor isn't a very realistic simulator, but it still is a simulator.

The term doesn't evolve over time either, so a simulator from 20 years ago, is still a simulator today, regardless of the advances in technology making it less realistic.

Not every game is a simulator, because many games don't actually try to simulate something.

try and keep on topic now :P

Quote from danowat :

sim·u·la·tor [sim-yuh-ley-ter]
–noun
1. a person or thing that simulates.
2. a machine for simulating certain environmental and other conditions for purposes of training or experimentation: a flight simulator.

Using the pure definition of a simulator, rFactor is a simulator, because it simulates something, weather it simulates it to a realistic degree is irrelevent, it's still a sim.

well that settles it

Quote from Intrepid :

KartSim - looks very promising. Graphics, physics, and all
