And because people leaves one by one, eventually almost everyone leaves.

Wish I would find a partner with similar enthusiast as I do, for running a proper server, but that is beyond possibility due plausible different circumstances and points of view.

What do you expect? Lynx is a beast after all!

EDIT: Well, of course, some people would not know in first place, especially if they come from very, very far and sees first time this animal.

Why to give anyway in first place? Rather let him/her try out locally.... Unless your friend is far away from your location... then take this suggestion seriously...

Good Lord that video...

I would understand perfectly, if it was ordered and result is wrong. However, it I assume it was pure gift, despite wanting precise color. Can't always get exactly as wishing for.

Anyway, back to topic, remember, you can always send money... except seems you can't anymore.

Understood. How about earning it? in a way or another? 13yo ( soon 14 ) can highly understand certain requirements. Go for it!

Unless...hmmm

Do you know why I am actually bored of all kind of these racing games?

( Almost ) every game focuses on sport/super/hyper/race cars, and not so much on "standard" vehicles. Don't get me wrong tho, as overall game may be a constant satisfaction... just causes plausible boredom of brand new racing machines Tongue

Quote from Drift ACE :you should see the tracks i pull out , pretty smooth terrains , but ye still bumpy at places , and that takes the whole 2100objects for a small layout ..and that concrete grip as if it was ice is less than ideal

just for example , 1 banked corner doing 180degres takes 300objects , and its still not as smooth as we expect Frown

Actually:

( 180 / 1.4 ) + ( 90 / 1.4 x 2 ) + ( 60 / 1.4 x 2 ) + ( 30 / 1.4 x 2 ) + Plausible entrance objects( About 40 ) =
128 + 128 + 85 + 42 + 40 = 423 Objects, if you want so-called "superfine" smooth corner, yet still won't be enough smooth due every layout object turns 1.4 degrees. Things would be smoother of course if one object would turn 0,7 degrees only each time.

If wanting Speedway with 2 similar corners: 846 objects + Every other objects depending length and other aspects, it is quickly drained 1500 objects.



Yes, it won't do same as complete track editor, but as I have said several times: Tracks are for salt, and Layouts are for other spices.

Frown!!!! I would like to join but I am probably every weekend at work haha.

Anyway, I am glad there are layouts like these being used more often!

Quote from PusicDrift :Driven distance : 0 Km

ok

Yeah, must be on single player. Multiplayer is indeed another story. Of course that is a case to be interested to race against other persons. No wonder it is a bit boring Big grin. Oh and layouts...

LFS was never really boring... just lacks racers and for some people... motivation.

Quote from AfterAll14 :Few days ago I gave it a go and bought S3 package. I only played demo version before, and was quite curious what other cars feel like. Have to say I'm little bit dissapointed. All cars feel/sound quite similar. Camera options are quite limited, so I can't increase camera height in F1 car (I hate playing with limited field of view). Graphics is something from 2005. I won't complain about light calculation techniques, but at least you could add some hd mesh and textures for models, that is not that hard to do.
I hope in future there will be some diversity in the game. Like offroad cars, heavy trucks. I wanna see how physics would work under critical conditions.
Don't take this review as offense. It is just as it is. Wish you all the best.

I bolded text from you, where I disagree completely...

...However, I understand perfectly. It is like cars are lightweight, and same methods with different cars makes... same things, unless going further to the edge. The best example are LX6 vs RaceAbout06 vs FZ50 cars.

...Unless, the method how you receive "things" from all 5/6 senses, is different.

EDIT: However, when using VR, things changes almost completely!

Quote from michal 1279 :"All cars feel quite similar" - seriously? How many cars did you try in those two days? What distance did you drive? Your online stats are all zeros and I doubt you did more than few hundred kilometers at best in offline mode in that time.
Yeah all cars in LFS are so similiar, that if I was given any of those cars while being invisible and not producing any engine sounds (being able to judge only by the handling) you can be sure I can tell what car I'm driving.
Do they feel boring? Well, stop cruising around and try some driving on the edge while hitting some good laptimes (if you can handle it at all).

Srsly, this feel like like a Steam review from person that has played 0.5 hours in given game but already knows everything...

Bolded on text:

I do not think this time that's the case of the problem. I am pretty sure this person can see different things and also feel.

I believe problem is have not gone enough far to the edge. Btw, Passenger cars in real life does feel somewhat same, especially if very similar suspension and other characters. There are things going to be changed once similar fashion: going to edge happens. Anything which is different between 2 or more comparable cars, starts to give higher "multiplier" the further they go.

This is thing I explained quickly, but I am pretty sure every person understands it. So the answer is: Go further! ( In terms of getting more different senses with different things )

Can't wait Wink

"NOTE: This option may or may not be a possibility and none of these are promised!"

Big grin Don't jump the gun already though! ( EDIT: Yeah, a clumsy joke, but you get it for sure )

Some of the layouts may not work "correctly" with certain cars. In other words, braking required. Which was pretty popular. Generally you could make a layout with 76 seconds full throttle and people love it, as long as there is at least one braking point. Another one was trying to reach 450km/h at Disc of Mayhem II and III.

Honestly, I would still like to do more of these, but kinda lost motivation. I still have 42 layouts remaining which are not finished. Some of them are simply named "#silhudg jhseidfoupög" or something lol.

And as always, more people = more fun!

Quote from michal 1279 :I know, it was more of a reminder that these requests are still valid and with new version coming soon™ I think it is a good time to make the call again Wink

Definitely I see your point, no matter what...

...but still... Big grin I believe, this is how devs would act right now!

Quote from michal 1279 :snip

It is suggested way before several times, with several purposes. And I will always give +1 regardless of any.

Limited fuel load. Also suggested before and also giving +1 regardless of any. Smile
