So I wake up and see.... this... all the random avatars. That's just dodgy... As for the GTR interiors being the surprise I doubt it. Victor said they had been experimenting with a new feature. You can't really expriment with interiors. So while I do think they are in the patch the surprise will be something in the way of physics.

How can they be experimenting with a new feature that is physics? I mean it would have to be smth big? Right?

Quote from St4Lk3R :

hehe... here in germany easter monday is a holiday :P

... maby only in some parts of the country, dunno

Lucky bastards...

Would the devs be cruel enough to release the patch on Sunday evening? Soon there will be reports in the news that suddenly a huge number of people all over the world became ill and couldn't come to work on Monday...

Quote from v4forlife :

here ya go

pink is as gt
blue is as north

I think I will like North

Quote from speedfreak227 :

ok, that's the picture i was thinking about but can someone colour the new AND old tracks with different colours just so i know what's new?

thanx,

speedfreak227

Well AS North is the red one. Grand Touring is AS Grand Prix with only 2 corners different.

In both cases it is hard to say whether there will be a chicane as in Grand Prix or no chicane as in Historic. However, the pictures show chicane for Grand Touring

Quote from SamH :

I'm really fond of the Westhill circuit because almost every corner is, in some way, blind. Either over the crest of a hill, or double-cornered. It's a track you have to LEARN, rather than just follow. It rocks! I'd like to see it developed.

Quote from Dj-Aeri :

Lampposts? night races maybe?

Yeah, why waste time putting up a million lamp posts if you are not gonne have night racing. But when? That is the question...

Quote from GP4Flo :

Yes, that would be a nice birthday present for me.

OK, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon: Here's hoping for a December 7th release - that's my birthday

Quote from ATHome :

I hope that they will not give us an update that we already know of, for example the skinnable sun visors

Not everybody noticed that and reads the forums. If they talked about tyre sidewalls, then they are sure as hell gonna talk about skinnable visors...

Quote from Rappa Z :

easter suday release

I would theorise that they have a pattern:

1st day some minor update
2nd day major update
3rd day minor update
4th day major update

etc.

Thus you need 5 more day til the patch is out at least...

Quote from traxxion :

I sure hope so

naah... you don't want a game that improves forever but is never released. What you want is to occasionally get the update also into your computer...

Quote from Rappa Z :

i spent my last 30 on s2

How about 29 $ ?

Seriously, there still has not been info on :

- tyre physics
- new Aston configs

so not before Sunday

And if they really spent "a few hours" on making the dashes, then they can in theory keep this up forever... or at least until the end of April...

Like this...those dials in my wheel looks a bit screwed but could just be me

Kiitos

Quote from Rappa Z :

How much u wanna bet the patch is released on easter or as an easter gift?

When is easter day exactly? I think I would bet you 30 $. OK?

Quote from deggis :

Yeah but I'd say that adding something (tilt) to the pic that isn't there in the game is "photoshopping press screenshots". So the tilting must be a new feature.

I still disagree... even if tilting cameras really is implemented, I would not call adding something (tilt) to the pic that isn't there in the game is "photoshopping press screenshots"

What does the current dash look like ? (I am not at home and can't check)

Naah... I'd rather have an airport track a la Cleveland with multiple racing lines and nice side-by-side action

Quote from deggis :

You mean in image editing program? It's different thing and devs have said that they don't release photoshopped pics.

dunno... I think there is a difference between photoshopping a pic and cutting it...

Quote from Platinum pete :

I thought it affected the FOX more than any car!? especially when on the limit behind another car at say: exit of second chicane Blackwood.

then again ive probably driven the FOX more and closer than the other aero cars.

Well, the FO8 is tricky with the gas pedal anyway. Add loss of downforce at the rear and woila... u spin when steping on the gas in the middle of the corner - the part where you are closest to the car in front.

Quote from SlamDunk :

This pic: http://www.liveforspeed.net/pa ... aprilupdate/sidewall2.jpg made me think that the update brings tilted camera option into the game, but then I noticed the car is going downhill... hmm... this one has the tilt too.

Very much enjoying these daily updates and hyping myself up

Yeah, u can still make the picture with no tilt and cut it tilted

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Interesting that you even have such a capability....

Well, why not? People animals also... I mean you don't eat the whole cow but cut it up first and then ea... OK, enough with that train of thought...

Thank god, an aero physics update

The tyre sidewalls thing for me was... well, "whatever".

This, however, makes a big for me

Quote from Rappa Z :

Live for Speed. I don't see anythibg that says cars only.Why not a motorcycle or two. We had a MRT.

Obviously intergalactic space ships would also fall into the "speed" category... But yes, racing a bike on the track with a car would be fun.

Quote from STROBE :

It seems pretty off to me. On AS3 in the GTRs I can exit the chicane and draft past the car in front, who will then tuck in behind me and draft past again, followed by me tucking in behind him and getting a draft so that we're side-by-side into T1. In real life I've never seen two cars draft each other three times in the space of one straight/such short time.

Problem with the drafting is that it doesn't feel progresisve enough - it's like hitting a "push to pass" button. I'd expect the drafting to be ever so slight at first, you just notice the increased acceleration and a slight gain on the car ahead, with the effect more and more pronounced as you close on the car in front. Instead it feels like you get nothing at first, then suddenly the whole draft effect is applied instantly.

hmmm... did you see the drafting that happened on Suzuka F1 race last year? That was some crazy-a** draft they got from the guys in front... And the straight was not that long...

Besides, it could also be that in real life drivers behind don't pass so that you can repass them. Maybe they wait instead and go for the pass close to the corner... Would be smart, huh?

Quote from Mr.Kimi :

Sorry about that .

Thank you guys, all worked out perfect. It was just a misunderstanding
