by late 2026/early 2027 we'll be contacting alien life through LFS (though gabor exists already). If we hit that blackwood fence fast enough we can fly to kepler 22b.
A literal child can save enough money in a week to buy at the very least S1, if you're a grown adult I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to save up some money and buy the game?
Someone could definetely make sense of the source code and understand it enough to continue developing. It's 2025, people have built Minecraft from scratch, their own graphics engines etc. etc. Nothing is impossible, just dedication is needed
Yep, implementing something in-game to access this setups page would be nice, perhaps just opening the page would be enough. Although there's a fairly small number of setups, and they are named a bit weird for new players to understand. I see a lot of new players joining servers like Beginner FBM and racing using default setups being 5 seconds a lap slower than the top drivers on the grid, then for each newb someone has to explain how to take a setup shared by another player in-game, which gets cumbersome after a while. And most of the time they get very unstable setups that they do not have the experience to drive with and ragequit the game.
It's very doable, with S3 you get the tools needed to create an autocross track and of course the LFS Editor, used to create mod cars. Now, you could either:
1. Make your own autocross layouts and car mods
2. Collaborate with someone on making both
3. Commission someone to do it for you
Now, I think there is a mod C5 corvette already in the game, with derivatives open, so you can take that and edit it so it fits your spec more, with weight and power etc. And autocross layouts aren't much of a pain to make.
Edit: nvm, the c5 mod is not open for derivatives, my mistake
Exactly, why is more security so bad? Even if we follow all of cuni's instructions in his first post in this thread, your account can still be compromised, more is always better.
I'm not saying that 2FA absolutely needs to be implemented right now,I don't want to slow the actual game update progress at all. I just wanted to see what thoughts of other people are on the topic. I agree with gu3st that more seperation between the game and the accoutn is better, but also cuni has a good point as in not to prioritise this.
Looking at the recent forum posts about account breaches and stuff, I wondered why LFS doesn't have a two-factor authentication system? I think it could be a good addition as an optional choice for additional account security, via phone number or similar. I don't know how feasible this is technially, but is an interesting discussion point, what do other users think?
Since I've started working on my own game, my respect for LFS devs grew significantly. You don't think of the fact that the AI system is years old, and that making a change is not just a simple "script", you'd have to rewrite most of it and it'd take a lot of time. Then you'd have to test that script to fix any bugs you may have created when rewriting. It's a lot of work for a fairly minor thing at this current moment
