Someone said that Blackwood could have a longer config.

Someone has also said that you can't really have a thread here without someone posting a pic from Nordcshleife.

So...

Quote from kamkorPL :

Or maybe Scawen is learning his lil son the techniques of human manipulation?

"Leo, would you like to see daddy teasing nerds again?"

Evil Scawen.

j/k

Seems that the devs have been huffing deep from the gurus bag of mushrooms...

Did the site just update? The guru thing on top of the news now?

Getting weirder and weirder

There is a place called Blackwood in Tamriel (ES: Oblivion)too, maybe the devs have found a mysterious guru there?

Nevertheless, I'm now on a quest of my own to find that guru!!

Have to agree with Fetzo, the GT is pretty useless. Basically it's the GP with tighter T1 and a chicane after that.

But the North is going to be a great addition! It uses the part of the track I've always enjoyed, but are only used in 2 configs (which are pretty much the same).

Alltho the pits are going to be too small, just try to get your FXR out of the pits in AS Cadet, it's kinda narrow.

Quote from Ams :

was that the suprise?

I don't think so, since devs said before that they've been thinking of adding a "new config or two" for Aston.

So, either the surprise is going to be revealed us in the patch, or it was the single-seaters dashboards.

Aston North is going to be my favourite config.

EDIT: out of all the LFS configs

Quote from tristancliffe :

Shall I drive to Scawen's house and find out? Only about 30 minutes away, and I'll easily find his house by following the skidmarks...

You could do that and you're still sitting on your arse? Shame on you.

Who said there would be new GTR cockpits? I'd say GTR dashboards, if we're lucky.

The patch can wait for a day or two in my opinion, I've got Oblivion now to spend my time with.

Is it the beer in me or does the sky look somehow better in the FXR pic?

The devs are evil, so very evil...

Just got the game, I have to say, it's impressive.

Haven't done much yet, but it was kinda scary when I went to sleep in a "tent", and when I wake up there's a guy in a black hood, asking me to join "the Dark brotherhood" or something like that. Freaked me out good.

Quote from traxxion :

I'm Dutch! I don't get it...

I'm Drunk! I don't get it...

Quote from XRRoy :

but those new Formula cockpits made me wondering how the GTR cockpits will look now

And tomorrows surprise is.... GTR dashboards!!

jokes aside, really looking for the patch!! Looks and sounds so great.

Can't wait for the patch...

Yay!!
Tire manufactures... So in future there could be differences between say, Cromo and Scavier tyres? Awesome.

EDIT:
Anyone else noticed the crowds in the pic with FO8?

To me it looks like Blackwood is about to be demolished by an earthquake

Aww this patch has to come soon...
If it's not out soon, I don't think I can make it...

To me it sounds like he means that KY Long has the kind of curves where the low-grip issue happens easily, which is true.

Couldn't find a "Crash-pictures" thread, but I guess this thread'll do.

Now this would be bad, for the guy behind me...

Quote from deggis :

There seems to be 500 different configs of Aston but how about Kyoto?

As seen in the pic it would need 'some' work though... but it would be worth it.

Or we could have something that can be done and that would be much more fun

Quote from danowat :

I don't wish to look a gift horse in the mouth, or sound ungratefull, but do we really need another Aston config?, there is a lack of servers being used using the current configs, all I can see is that it will dilute this more.

Dan,

My thoughts excatly. I'd prefer to have Westhill National (there's a similar part of a track as in Aston) or Superextralong Kyoto.

But a new Aston config is nice too.

Red one would be my favorite too, but I think Eric makes the use of the unfinished part of the track.

Quote from Frankmd :

LFS World will get better http physics, and slipstreaming it wont cause your mouse to lose the rear end anymore.

I don't know if it is the 12 beers but after reading that I mysteriously dropped from my chair

EDIT:

Quote from www.liveforspeed.net :

Eric has recently worked some more on the Aston track, including graphical improvements, texture changes and a new configuration (or two).

Don't we already have enough configs for Aston? If you ask me, we only have 2 good configs for it. Westhill National anyone? Or KY Superüberextralongfriggin' 14km?

Good to know that "A recent push on tyre physics has resulted in much better tyres which have improved the car handling and driving experience a lot." tho'

Ok, I need to know what's going to happen quikcly, because after this beer, I'm going to sleep.
