Since the mod support was introduced, the people that are getting involved into some sort of league racing (even drift events for that matter) are not really bothered about signing up for the event on the forums, it's too much hassle. It's like the only party trick that can be pulled off for now in LFS, but when it comes to actual proper oldschool type of racing in this game, there's literally nothing.

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

Have you ever thought that a forum is consulted by a few more people than those who express themselves there?

You always avoid the actual topic. Same goes when it was previously mentioned that you have driven 0kms on your account. You just seem more of a troll than anything else on this forum

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

I was there in the days of the Volkswagen Scirocco. So what ?
Be liked by who ?
What do you think you are here? Be serious.

We are only words and ideas. Nothing else. It's not a place to walk around with your ego and try to please.

Sorry, I don't have your extraordinary capacity for synthesis. I can't sum up the potential of LFS as succinctly as you do

Bruh, your account has only been around since 2021. I dunno what you are smoking

Quote from Scawen :

Yeah, that Scirocco thing is just a great reason to be depressed and full of angst for a decade.

You mentioning that I gotta be depressed or full of angst for that reason alone is completely wrong. I honestly don't give a damn about it. It's more about how LFS was progressing back in the day, the changes were impactful. Now though?

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

Are we talking about something else? Even talkers like me?

You wouldn't be so optimistic and full of enthusiasm if you were around the time when Scirocco was announced. I just feel like you are constantly coming up with purely insignificant ideas and spamming this damn thread just because you want to be liked by certain people. You don't understand it.

It's difficult for such changes to take place considering it's just 3 developers that make this game happen. They are doing it at their own pace and we can't change that.

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

Don't worry Scawen. There are no problems here (at least I think ).

It's hard to talk about anything here without the usual catchphrases returning. It is deplorable, of course, but inevitable. This should not prevent dialogue. And I would like to answer that. If you allow it .

Yes your opinion is worth it, especially considering you have driven 0km online.

Sounds like a skill issue

Appearances are sometimes deceiving, young padawan .

If, indeed, I was never active here before 2021, I know LFS from its very first demo release, back then released on CDROM with now defunct real paper game magazines. I later followed the VW Scirocco episode with great interest. Especially since I had owned the first version of this car and was planning eventually (I didn't, luckily) to buy the new one. Today this car is an ancestor that is not even manufactured by Volkswagen anymore. But never got into LFS. I didn't miss any of the procrastination and setbacks in the development of LFS.

When I was able to make a new small place in my life for virtual races, I also thought that LFS had disappeared. But I checked the source (an old man reflex, I guess). During these few years of interruption (I was not in prison, I worked too much) the world of car simulation had changed a lot. I could have played anything that exists.

I didn't return to LFS "out of nostalgia" but because (at its level), despite its shortcomings and imperfections, LFS has something unique. Even more unique today than 20 years ago. (for good reasons, I specify ).

God you sound like an old man who is experiencing your 2nd mid life crisis. Get over it, the statistics speak otherwise about this game. It's a fun game but the golden times were already over in 2014. While the industry moves forward and offers more and more stuff for the simracing titles, LFS is just stuck. Not that it's a bad thing (just because a lot of you praise it and are stuck in some 2009 mindset).

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

The problems you are talking about exist. The devs have explained this several times. And we have had recent developments. Even if there too, there are things to say (there is always something to say about everything. It's endless)

But the "journalist" of the video imagines that the game is abandoned by the devs and that the community manages it alone, without even checking the info on LFS.net?! This is a problem that goes beyond the small internal world of LFS. Regardless of the current state of the game.

You just won't understand it because you have only been around since 2021.

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

Why are you here ? And not on AC ? For example ? While you have a racing beast ?

I play AC as well but I play LFS for drift purposes mostly. The drift community is pretty okay and it's a lot of fun to just chill on drift servers with friends. I play more for the nostalgia than anything. The racing scene in LFS is pretty dead and competition is pretty much owned by S1DUS guys or Upsas from B2R

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

LFS is accessible to everyone. Because inexpensive and easy to run with a small computer.

Those days are long gone with the argument that LFS can be ran on anything....- just because that's kind of irrelevant. Your average user has enough PC power to run way more demanding games and it's not really a selling point anymore. Even a PC that cost approx 1k eur in 2016 now would be worth what, 150 eur? and it would run something like AC on mods ez.

Yes but no. Once your tires get pretty hot it becomes a soap physics simulator.

Quote from Iginla :

Can you blame people, though? It feels abandoned outside of this community when the tyre physics have been in development for the past 14 years for example. While the new additions like the mod system keeps the community alive for now, there is absolutely no incentive for new drivers to join. When a reviewer or a person that used to be here long time ago and who decides to visit the forum, does anything here really show that the sim is alive and well? While I appreciate the roots of my simracing career, I just get laughed by others when I mention them about LFS. And I think that says enough about the state of the sim.

It do be like that. LFS just couldn't keep up with the changes that other simgames brought to the table and here we are, bragging about being able to fill 1 server for an event. Bruhh

Yeah, people can't be bothered to spend even more than a minute on going through a tiktok video, let alone be invested to know why this or that game is superior. If it's not precise in its news delivery, none cares.

It is what it is.

Best drift club

But at the same time they used ripped content for large leagues like VDC. Obviously it's not right to do so, but it still is an ongoing issue.

It is what it is. That's LFS in 2023

Nice shameless ad

Yeah well, I guess hope only dies last..

Yeah, with more tracks this game would be pretty solid.
