All of a suddent Scawen came back to announce new work...a couple of tracks and 3d support?....all i can say is : Too little, too late!

AC is good, and they know it! And now there is very little to do about it, isnt that right Mr Scawen? We did complain, and beg, and cryed, and rant for years with no feedback at all....so now, you can finally get ready for the consequences.

Quick noobish question, can one customize his apartment in any way possible?

Thx guys .

Kiste, i dunno if that is possible. The body is completely transformed, i remade all the polys in the car. Some parts have been slightly modified too. Im gonna give it a try with a random skin and then let you know

Hey guys, i have been working on this FZR for a few weeks now. Made a couple of renders.

There is no interior yet, thats why the windows are so shady

Quote from cargame.nl :

Coming to the forums every day, how nice.. But fail to read.

How can you feel mad about a product you spend 90.000 km with and has cost you 24 pounds? What else do you expect for 24 pounds, your answer to the meaning of life?

I dont feel mad about LFS as it is....it is a great game, no doubts there. I do feel mad when developers say, in 2008, that they have new content to be release SOON, and then they dont even bother to either release it or report about it...... ( BTW, the word SOON apparently has diferent meanings to certain people i guess ).

If i knew LFS would stay the way it is now, and no more patches or updates would be released, i would have probably moved on to another sim......and come back only to have some fun or bring back some memories whenever i felt like it. But even in 2008, when the patch was anounced, scavier team had already released screenshots about the scirocco and rockingham.....so that obvioulsy made me lean forward and made me excited about the game again!

The big point here is that i feel that we where tricked to stick around and wait for nothing. Im pretty sure this wasnt scavier team intention of course, but the truth is that 5 years gone by, and we still got no new content.

It shows a big lack of responsability towards a client ( yes, because we are all clients/costumers here), to say you gonna make things happen, and then you dont do shit. Its really unprofessional. Also, the way this issue is being handled by the devs, shows no remorse about it. They prefer to ignore bad critics then to face them head to head. Its the attitude of a coward.

Please note this, im not arguing about the money i spent, im arguing about false expectations.

When you keep waiting for a patch thats not coming out

I have been trying not to come here and read any of these threads related to the suposed "development", but im weak, and here i am...and i cant help it to feel mad about this situation.

I cant believe some ppl are even saying things like " oh scawen, if we behave can you give report or release patch??" . What patch?? Its been 5 years!!

What bothers me the most, is that scawn has a gold mine here, he also has the pickaxe to mine it, he even has the means to transport it, melt it, and sell it!!..... but he prefers to spend 10 years developing a new lightbulb so he can put on his helmet in order to see better inside the mine......ridiculous.

The day S3 or any other RELEVANT patch comes out, its the day i wont even care anymore...and that makes me sad and uninterested in the game...in fact its been months since i last played LFS...yet i still visit the forum pretty much everyday.

Scawen, if you still have any plans to release a patch, just f***ing do it right now. Aren't you tired of all this crap? All we really want is new cars and tracks. ITS THAT SIMPLE! Why make a storm in a glass of water?? You can still keep working on the tyres....

"oh im still working on the tyre physics, blablabla, yada yada yada.....its too dificult...its taking more time then i though..." No offense, but who gives a crap?? Patience has its limits...if you "promisse" something, then by all means, just stick to your word man, or you risk all your credibility ( but im sorry to say that ship has already sailed for me... )

Swallow your pride and just give the people what they want. You have at least one track and one car ready to go for YEARS now...whats stoping you?

I apologise if i sound harsh, but this is what i think. And this is why i avoid coming to these topics .

E 3 corridas de 20 minutos cada? Com 1ª grid = qualy, 2ª grid = resultado da 1ª corrida , 3ª grid, = resultado da 2ª corrida invertido??

Qualy qq coisa tipo 10/15 minutos para despachar??

Isto está a ganhar pernas , vamos lá ver se anda!!

Nome- J . Miranda

Carro- Qualquer carro serve para mim . Mas era porreiro explorar outras alternativas aos GTR's, uma vez que grande parte dos campeonatos e ligas que aí andam é sempre com GT, GT2, GT3.... Mas pronto, para oficializar uma escolha(s) : LX, TBO e XFG/FXG

Pistas- Tudo excepto oval. Curvinhas é que é bom!!!

Nao sei se terei disponibilidade para participar, vai depender muito das horas e tambem do meu patrão ( às vezes tenho de trabalhar ao fim de semana )

Boa iniciativa!

I think im finished with my vision of a FXS. Dont know what else to do in this car....maybe some brand badges, and a little logo on side ( pinifarina style ). Next step is putting it in a nice, detailed enviroment.

Lol, yes, good point . But i ment its blurry in all of them ( i guess premium only, since they are the ones that have interiors :P ).

Thx for the info guys, really aprecciate it

Im gonna try to fidle with the monitor settings. Also gonna try a diferent DVI/HDMI cable, just for peace of mind.

Btw, the interior is equaly bad in standard or premium cars , its the hole graphics while in-race. I noticed i have an resolution option in PS3 that i cant turn off, i have 720p, 1080i, 1080p all turned on, but strangely i have a 567p also turned on that i cant turn off ....is this relevant in any way??

Hi guys.

Today i got my hands on a brand new PS3 with GT5 included, and i was really happy that finally, after years, i could play one of the best looking car "sim" around! Or so i though....

I plugged everything, updated everything, ran the game, and had one of the biggest disapointments so far in gaming territory

Is it normal that interiors suck so much that i cant even see the numbers on the speedometer? Everything, regarding the cars, is just a blur, interiors, exteriors....the shadows are really crapy, all jagged.....it looks like a game running in a crappy resolution!! And its not only the standart cars, the premiums also...

The thing is, i have PS3 setting up to HDMI ( 1080p ), the game is also setup to 1920x1080, and even so, it looks like crap!! Is this just me, or is this the real deal??

I would apreciate any info on this, because i dont believe that this game can be this crapy, after all i have seen about it in videos and screenshots!

Im playing PS3 through my PC monitor, wich is this one ( ASUS VH238T http://www.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/VH238T/ ) with a DVI to HDMI cable ( a good one with gold lining ). In PS3 menus, everything looks very good, very crisp. Also in GT5 menus, all looks very good, its only when i got to my garage to check cars, or play with them ingame that i get a very nasty blury, jagged imaged.

Can anyone share some knowledge with me? Am i doing anything wrong?

Aprecciate any help guys

A few more steps to my FXS conversion.

Made some rims for it, and im very please with them, but im not sure if they are apropriate. Also made new exaust and exaust fitings.

Next step is gona be rear wing and side mirrors.

Sorry to desapoint you man, but you probably wont.

TDU2 is a very demanding game ( although i cant really point out why.... ) , it needs a good CPU to run properly. Also, it helps to have good RAM memories and at least 4G.

Yes, you will probably notice a diference, but i dont know if it will be enough to get you to some playable fps.

my old PC was an Intel core2duo@3,0 ; 4G ram @800 ; ATI HD5770 1Gddr5 , and TDU2 dragged like hell!! 15-20 fps in cities 25-30 in country. Not playable for me.

Nice video man, made me lol

I love that bender laugh :biggrinfl

The rims arent going to be these ones. Although i havent even given a thought about that. Any ideas you guys might want to suggest about the rims?

The wing wasnt on the plans, but i'll try to do a low wing, see how it looks.

Thx for the feedback

Hi guys, im trying to convert FXR/FXO to something like an FXS.

Here are some test renders of this WIP.

Quote from dekojester :

I will look for a suitable Sunday (iTCC is a Sunday affair, MOAR important than going to church, amirite? ) to run at least a test event / one off on. It will be no earlier than mid-September. I'll post here and in the iTCC section (which I'll likely have moved to the NDR sub-forum soon)

Wow! This is awsome!!!

Deko, im sure many people will want to race in it, i wouldn't be worried about attendance at this point. ITCC was awsome! The only reason it lost so many participants was only because of the violence in the track. Every race was "every man for himself"!! There was no respect for other drivers, it was rough and caotic. That ruined for me and many more, because we trained for hours, we did the qualifying races, and we got to the races and get wrecked by some greedy mofos.

If you guys could get ITCC running again, the only thing you would need to worrie about would be keeping the reaces clean. Aplying strict rules and standing by them. ITCC is suposed to be well battled, but within certain limits. Just make sure the races are fair, and you'll make ITCC one of the best leagues to race, again!!

For me this was the most exciting league in LFS, but only the first 2 years! After that it became too much competitive...a little to violent, wich eventualy ruined it for me ( and a few other too ). Dennis, i remember you in there . I was in one of the Karma cars ( the red ones with the big K ).

But now i ask, why cant there be another league similar to this, where everyone drives the bus with heavy restrictions, but with strict rules??

I dont know why, but today i remembered this. The iTCC 2009 Highlights!!! And since this is a bit old, i though about posting it here to bring back memories to some folks, and show the new ones what was iTCC in the "old" days. Its a very good video, full of energy and action!!

Does anyone remember this??

David Novak was the producer of this great video.

Quote from Omar1 :

Hi guys, im building a kinda budget pc was wondering what you guys think of the specs:

Just won the motherboard, Processor and 2GB ram on Ebay for £51! Bargin!

-Intel DG31PR Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Processor @ 2.80GHZ (might overclock)
-3 or 4GB RAM
-ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

Will be playing games like GTA IV, LFS, MW2, MW3, and other good stuff.

Thanks

Hi Omar, im pretty sure you will be able to play LFS with all maxed out and good FPS, but im not sure about GTA 4... I had a similar setup, a bit better on RAM and CPU, and GTA 4 dragged like hell , i think that particular game plays alot better on quad cores.

And its freaking awsome

Quote from azasmith14 :

...
What about in a 32 multiplayer server, trying to keep FPS at a playable level for the people with **** computers. 32 cars with their own lights being drawn on a track. The lag would drive you insane.
...

Other sims do it, and they are playable. And btw, how shitty must those computer be, that in these days, couldnt run LFS with some light shaders?? If developers keep worrying about LFS running in crap computers, then they are limiting the potencial of the game and its future patchs ( if there are indeed any ). Im not saying to turn it into some kind of GT5 graphics, just saying aiming that low wouldnt be good. Night and rain should be a priority in LFS ( i mean in the long way, next to the tyre physics ).But meanwhile, this ( and heres my 2 cents about this subject ) :

There was a time where "we" could accept the developers idea of only releasing new content when the tyre phisics where ready, but i think that time is long gone. Now, i dont know if its a matter of pride, or just stuburness ( is that correctly written?? ) of the developers , but the fact remains, ppl are fed up with this impatience waiting!!! To be honest , the Scavier team should be all eyes and ears for the comunnity, because im not sure they even deserve such dedicated comunity as this one. All ppl want is new tracks and maybe one or other new car once in a while....why not give it to them just to keep them satisfied? why risk losing users with a gigantic waiting period? Im not saying to abandon tire phisics, they are more then welcome!!! but meanwhile, why not continue the development of ONE OF THE BEST SIM EVER???

What makes LFS good are the phisics, they have that already, why do they have to delay everything just to make the phisics even better??

SCAVIER, if you guys are "listening" to the comunity, just do the right thing, after all , they f***ing deserve it!!
