Quote from Woz :

Please no DX10. I am not letting Vista anywhere near my PC so that will stop me running LFS.

Who wants "Trusted computing" when it means the person they do not trust is the user. MS has even locked out Anti Virus software. Vista is about DRM and making DRM more secure for the RIAA and other people that want to remove your fair use rights, nothing more and nothing less.

So NO to DX10!

Quote from cpachmann :

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...

u remember when DOS has been released?
i still play sum DOS games, yeah on real DOS, just couz the games are great and not couz i have DX 1 or 7 or 10 there...

DX8 is that enuff, i mean LFS looks already that kewl, theres also still potential to get more features of the engine.

me and loads of other dudes wont switch to Vista even if we buy a totally new pc that comes with vista
(ever heard FORMAT C: ? ) and XP is cool enuff for my taste to rest on my hdd for minimum next 4 years...

it has all features i need for my personal taste, i dont need new vista graphic tweaks that needs more cpu and more ram, blah blah blah :slap: they should spend all work into improving existing capabilities to maximum instead of thinking we dudes have now 6ghz dualboard dualcore and double triple quad SLI, lets use 2500 shader effects more for their explorer folder... same way the peopz love the LFS menus much more than the fookin graphic stuff of GTR2 f.ex. ...
i drift away sry...

after s3 ther can be next steps of LFS coding it to existing or futurous graphic engines or what eeeever but i think until 2008 we all are pleased with dx 8 or if u so damn want it dx 9... first try all u can do with most less ressources-costing programming...

maybe its the intention of the devs to have it that way but...

bug:
how realistic is that if you touch the barriers or banners (even with slow speed), your car become a delorean and rise up to the sky???
very unrealistic...

improvement:
my suggest to solve that "BUG" (if it is one) would be that these barriers and banners get the same physic as a wall, if you crash them your car gets crashed but NOT boosted like a canonball into the air, u crash into them and your car stays there but damaged...

(searched forum for that, sorry for doublepost if its already mentioned that detailed...)

regards...

Quote from [RDP] GAV :

noob

MoonForce votes to BAN [RDP] GAV
Press 1 please...

a) its great to build such programs, to show what still has to be solved in lfs to avoid cheating, so thank you for this really much (coding part)

b) its totally jejune rather stupid to pass it to the masses, couz some peopz here have no honor either no respect for fair racing, so they will use if they can do so couz they have no girl and a short d*ck anyway... :slap:

so thank u for showing us what gap lfs still has, but go to hell couz u passed it to the idiots,

regards

u guys kidding, but i agree VAINS reply, whats if someone does hotlaps with an very "small" increase of 5 -7 hp, no one of you will notice that and f.ex. 7 hp are enuff 2 drive WAY better times... (xfg hp change: patch u 1:33.xx / patch q 1:31.xx)

stop posting your decisions ... annoying like hell

start a poll with known brands and 1 option of "other"... and lets vote pals

Quote from PaulC2K :

Interesting isnt it, people think that the Dev team arent capable of making something exactly the same as a real life car but without the real life complications.
Look at all the cars, they might not be replica's but they're familiar peices of specific types of cars.
For your Ferrari/ Porsche, you have the FZ5, the Renault/Peugeot/seat you have the XFG.
Did anyone need to ask permissions, any complications, messy contract negotiations or confirmation delays etc? No.

If things with the BMW Sauber didnt materialise, do you think there wouldnt have been an F1 car in LFS at some stage or another?


Theres just far so many complications involved with real life manufactures, agreeing to allow it to happen, making an accurate model, getting accurate handling feedback etc
Alternative... make your own, ask nobody, no waiting at checkpoints for the thumbs up on the latest changes, just get it done.

I'd love real cars in there, but whats the point, people will only moan if car A is faster than car B, why they didnt use model X instead, and it leads to more people expecting real cars in LFS.

hmm that is a good point, but not that what i wanted
i dont need porsche in lfs, but i would love to see things like RAC or MRT more in LFS, i just meant other car comp. could follow same way

Quote from the_angry_angel :

It's true. I raced the BMW Sauber F1.06 in LFS and just last night I bought myself one.

Sarcasm aside, I can see where you're coming from MoonForce. Unfortunately it's kind of the dev's decision

On a vaguely similar tack, has anyone approached Noble or vice versa?

lol

Quote from Hankstar :

hankstar voted to ban CAPS LOCK press [1]

Since this idea's already under discussion in two threads in two separate forums, I don't see the reason for another new thread. Especially one that's shouting at everyone like it's the first one to mention this. It's too early in the morning! Shush!

sorry if this is a double post, i just think this worx...

heya, i think the time has come for a CHANGE...
no dev of any game will pay in future money for licenses in racing buizz.
even big E.A. stop their license way/ make it only a lil part in their market (only maybe in FIFA series).

so i think LFS is a very good place to do commercials for brands.
car-brands f.ex. PORSCHE or FERRARI could use LFS to do promotion for their cars (like TEAM SAUBER did) and give LFS permission to create their cars in game, or to have coke commercials or earl gray tea (f.ex. english track) whatever

nobody needs licenses to have fun at lfs-races, i dont care if i drive FZ50 there or Porsche Carrera, so no one of the dev should spend 1 ct. to licenses, but its a good way for car-brands to make their cars public and get fans of their cars.
brands like renault, peugeot, seat had image change last years, they now seems kinda fresh, stylish, trendy. so what to get fans for some of their cars ?!

why always talkin bout fookin money? LFS is a place to have no cost commercials to possible customer... if i race f.ex. leon cupra ingame and it races that hot, i become fan and wanna buy that car in real... just example

yooo...
did 2 layouts for a more graphical tv cam...

i would love to have a tv cam that also fills me with info like whos pitting, ...
(real tv info stuff)

any suggestions or critics?

*edit: it anyway should be in the already loved menu style (like pressing ESC, ...) just with race infos while watching nice tvcam

hi, was wondering if anyone could render a special jpg for me...

i want to have the RB4 with that toyota skin in a desert (3dmax scene attached), kinda dakar style
thx in advance

(if theres time a 5 sec divx clip of sandstorm would be cool anyway a pic would be xmas enuff, i am learning 3dmax so i suck massive with brazil demo same with max7 so far)

Quote from geezer45 :

I think the title says it all. I would like to have more than the one custom camera 'slot' (if you know what I mean). At the moment, one can customise the onboard camera view (the view with just 2 wheels). I tend to use 'roof-cam' or 'tbar-cam' (for formulas), but it would be good to have a few more 'slots' to create additional camera views. This would be especially handy for replays, so one can perhaps set up a camera on the dash looking back at the driver, etc. This would mean that LFS would have more camera angles than any other sim!!! GTR has quite a few, and all of these (and more) could be created by the player in LFS if this idea is implemented.

Oh, and the 'slots' could be activated or deactivated.

Quote from Wordan :

I'm not sure about aditional colour coding and numbering. If you add too much variation it will look very busy and confusing on the map.

Just my thoughts. It would be nice to have a more consistant way of showing other drivers, their positions and who you are viewing, instead of the currently seperate connection table, results table and whatever else there is

+1

Quote from noob4ever :

my try...

very nice, using it for desktop bg now thx

american team called "land of the free" ?

i ever thought my country is "land of the free" only haha

good luck anyway

heya, i just liked the lfs song "total commitment.ogg" so much i made a clip of it as the startmenu backgroundloop

personally it fits better for me ...


***make backup of original ogg file before u overwrite it...
***copy setupscreenloop.ogg to /LFS/DATA/OGG

Quote from ORION :

programming is not that easy

...depends your software haha

but normally i agree

aye... thought same of that couz lfs is handled as "online racing simulator"

its not really THAT important for my online play but would be better, imho

anyway would just be few lines in ai script but i know devs are busy guys

cheers

hi, dunno if this is a double post, sorry if it is...

my improvement/(maybe bug) for ai:

if the AI do a qualification, they run out of fuel and stop...

dunno if that is wanted,...

my idea would be:
let the AI (in case of low fuel) go to pit and wait there or get new fuel and proceed until qualify is over, and then they should go to pit again and stop engine

tell me what u think of it

beneath that soundupdates are necessary,...

lfs devs did with lfs a onlince race simulator, trying to make racing in lfs as most as real.

so my suggestion is, i want black flags / better punishment.

rules are that u r not allowed to cross yellow flag when u leave the pit/garage. peopz ignoring that shall get a dt. and peopz who dont respect driving rules ingame should get their punishment, like ignoring blue flag or ignoring yellow flag. maybe witn an rule-option for servers, like special rulez for stunt servers or rallye servers...

but most annoying for me is when f.ex. in south city classic i come 1st corner and a racer comes directly in my line from the pit, i mean the devs had an idea why they did the yellow line that long as it is...

just my words for that topic (enuff said bout better sounds - a must be)

cheers, good race and enjoy lfs

Quote from Huru-aito :

Sounds have been like this for quite long. S2 brought some updates but they still are, like you said, the most WIP of them all. I don't know the reasons for not updating the system, but I wouldn't wait for an update either.

The sounds are the biggest single issue that keeps me from playing LFS. For crying out loud, I even purchased GTR just to enjoy some beefier sounds!

i have to agree, lfs is best racing-sim ever in physics and multiplayer, so i wont stop using it, but the sound sucks massive if u compare with the competition of lfs.
physics are great now (minor tweaks can be done l8a), graphic is great too (even a nv6600 can handle 8x aa and 8x af at 1024x768), multiplayer section is best ive ever seen in a game till now, but if u compare SOUND with even a (in my eyes) bad racesim like rFactor then LFS still loose

so my point is, i want a soundupgrade, and i think its needed also for commercial marketing, couz all shabby racesims that comes out have more realistic sound than lfs... (anyway cant take my hands off lfs)
