-racing game...

Exactly my point, Live for Speed has potential to evolve, to become something different. LFS is made as a racing simulator, but at one point, it might transcend into an absolute driving simulator, where all things vehicle related could be possible. All that is in a distant future, one has to dream..

I'm surprised to see that people here don't even know the definition of the word racecar
pretty surprising to see in a forum for a racing game.

A racecar is "A vehicle which is used competitively in wheel-to-wheel racing events."

Quote from Scawen :

I'd like to see the stats that bring you to this assertion!

Give us 8 gears so we can recreate modern F1

Bicycles have up to 27

Quote from cuni :

Here, a bit more fuel for the fire...

S2 to S3 gap was 10 years, so, by my immense brainpower and calculations, I predict S4(with new graphic and physics) comes in 2025, 10 years after S3. Big Brein

Quote from Scawen :

I'm trying to get the patch completed. I had hope the weekend before last, then...

Thank you for taking quick action, the LCS players are plenty grateful!

Quote from Scawen :

Where can you see that? If I search for you with "Find user online" I don't see...

I was in game chatting with another person, lost connection to host now, server owner is restarting the servers, here's a screenshot

Quote from Scawen :

OK, I see it's [LCS] Cruise Server 2 It displays symptoms of the 49.7 day bug so...

It's happening on Server 1 as well, I'm there with another player

Quote from Scawen :

OK now you have provided some information.

It's probably the 49.7 day bug.

I've contacted the server owner, no response yet, but other more regular players are saying that the server restarts daily, so it might not be the 49.7 day bug, unsure yet. I'll update when owner replies

Quote from Yisc[NL :

;2085945"]Valve? That's a completely diffent company that has not got anything to do with...

I know, it's an old meme, just messing around with that one..

Quote :

Probably would've been useful to mention which server you're talking about...

i tried joining a couple of random servers and it works fine

LCS Cruise Server, but players are being affected, since even though they left LCS, they're still "online" on LCS, and can't join other servers, which is an issue

Servers just froze, most players left, those who left cannot rejoin. Whole game froze, InSim is still engageable, along with chat, but most other stuff is broken. I giv more info later

valve(scawen) please fix

Quote from HooHee :

I suggest that to easily edit textures such as of tires,suits,tarmac etc rather than having to go into files and change everything separately,we can have a texture pack with all textures inside of it and we can apply it from setting in-game to change look. Thoughts?

I don't think this'd be needed, since there is an official graphics update coming(one day). Other than that, why'd you even want to change the current game's textures, I think they look fairly okay and their performance is exceptional.

To add onto this, I don't understand why people want high fidelity graphics in a racing simulator, where the driving should be the absolute upmost focus, not visual fidelity. Forza Motorsport is one example of what not to do with a "racing" game.

Quote from Scawen :

On the other hand, if you like a game done the way we do it, you can wait a bit, have a little patience and enjoy the outcome.

I've always wondered why not expand the development team, even by just 1 person, it'd surely make the workflow more efficient.
I understand that funding might be an issue, but I think it'd be worth the investment. You yourself mentioned that you haven't yet touched the tyre physics because of the mod-related issues. Why not hire a person, even temporarily, to work on issues like the mod system, while you focus your work on the tyre physics or something more major like that?

Quote :

Hi, simple suggestion

have separate button control rate for clutch, brake and accelerator, this can really help mouse and keyboard users
thank you Smile

This would be amazing! I also wanted to suggest this a few weeks ago but totally forgot. It's been really difficult finding a good BCR setting for nice throttle input for acceleration and braking for preventing lockups, my sweet spot for now is 3.99.

Quote :

Yeah!
Would be even better to have button control rate option below 2.00
from value 0.01 to 10.00

Also a good one!

Quote from farcar :

I love that LFS is both a hardcore track racing sim and an open world sandbox where you can create your own layout and make your own fun.

I often wonder how large a world the engine would be capable of handling?

Imagine a huge 'LFS island' with all the race tracks spread out, and roads interlinking them, so you could take the country roads from Westhill to South City

That'd be a cool idea, 99.9% chance it won't ever happen but still, a dream is a dream. Reminds me of Need For Speed World with the multiple connected cities from previous NFS games

Quote from Viperakecske :

How to join

Be skill issue

This is a great idea, I support

bump, i want this to happen so badly

delusional, all I see is green foliage

Recently I dabbled in a bit of rFactor 1 racing, and I crashed a lot. What I found interesting is that in rFactor some basic parts of the car detach when crashed ie. wheels, front/rear wing, sidepods and similar.
Of course it doesn't happen always, just with major high-speed crashes

I think it'd be pretty neat to have something similar in Live for Speed

Quote from gaboteam :

hello fellow racers, hope you are all fine, making babies and drinking good wine. as for this thread, I am reviving it...

Wow! I'm in awe, this is simply amazing. Thank you for staying so dedicated and persistent towards pushing LFS to improve! I hope scawen sees this and actually considers this

Holy macaroni, what the hell are those specs? If I was you I'd just buy a better computer, those specs were horrible by 2016 standards, and it's 2024 . Money shouldn't be an issue since an 80€ PC should be stronger than what you have
