2. You make one of the tracks more interesting and challenging, finally with something new

Quote from MousemanLV :I did watch the video. The old Westhill was boring, this is the new Westhill. What's so tragic about it?!

That its just as boring. The only existing thing is that its new.

@Flame, as long as its downhill, its great? After all, all downhill is the same downhill.. Point is, not everything was bad.

Quote from MousemanLV :Mate, the old Westhill is more like having full throttle for most of the time...now this my friend will be more challenging! It uses the same base, but it's improved!

did you watch the video? Im not saying the old was perfect. It definitely needed tweaks on the 08/15 turns, but this is a completely different track. It doesnt even look like the same place.

Im sorry, but this isnt Westhill anymore! Why not give it a new name? This looks more like a new Kyoto (which is not necessarily a bad thing) than anything with some Aston boringness. There are a few kinks that are nice, like the last turn, but other than that, its not an improvement. What happened to the downhill left (or uphill right in reverse, which was great fun climbing up with the Lx6). Its not any more challenging than the old, which was the whole point of this venture, no? The do-or-die chicane is gone? That was one of the fun things about the track (besides being an actual challenge).

Well, can you blame them? It's quite audacious what they try, but if the consumers buy into the hype, its hard to blame them for trying.

Talking about microstransaction coming to boxed games, did you know there are skins in CS:GO (I believe it was), that go around for $100, or soemthing like this?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :
It's still a free game with no restrictions on the game content. The fact that I've spent money willingly should be a testament to how excellent it is for a free game.

Are you implying that LFS is a bad game or that you think skin rstriction and sorts / FTP model would be better for LFS? How is this relevant? FTP model for this type of game, is an absolut no-go.

Quote from JSHuiting :Oh the irony.

Right back at ya.

This is a thread about Westhill, and people voiced their opinion and arguments. The case was closed and now you (and other annoying people) come in again make a big deal out of it.

Just deal with it. It's just complaining for the sake of it, isn't it?

Quote from cargame.nl :Its a thing done with kids mostly.

*nnooohooowwooh I want the old stuff*
{you get the new stuff}
*noohooohoow the old stuff is ssooo niiceee*
{ok you get no new stuff then, keep it with the old stuff}
*NOOHOOOWWW!!! I want the new stuff!!1!*

Just a trick.

Really? I'd guess kids always want the new stuff.

What kids (or immature people) definitely do is get spiteful when someone argues against them.

However, case closed by Scawen.

Quote from JSHuiting :Do they really? Or is it just a bit of nostalgia?

And it's not just the fact that people suddenly want the old circuits back.
It's that now we're getting something new, they still continu asking for more.

Quote :Except for all the people who suddenly want the older circuits back too.

not more, but not less.

How hard is that to understand? Nobody complains about new stuff, just that the old stuff doesn't need to be removed.

Quote from cargame.nl :OK, you read it Eric. There is no update needed.

How old are you? Absolutely nobody said that.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :
Equally, you can't really drive on old versions of real tracks once they have evolved. They have changed several corners at the Indy GP track (a similar looking upgrade to Westhill), but you can't rock up there in real life and say "I want to drive the old version".

That's a good point. It can only be in the interest of the artist (and new players), to showcase how much a track evolved. For people that only know the newest Blackwood, it's a pretty nice track, awesome even, but all the ones that have driven the old one, can really appreciate how much changed (for better or worse).

Regarding the possibilities of reality, well, its a video game and being able to do things you can't in reality, is one of its greatest appeals. Why put on artificial limitation. if one doesn't want to drive it, then don't, but leaving it in does absolutely no harm. If it was possible i nreality, people would do it, no question about it. In a video game/virtual world, you can. So why not?

@Flame, different physics, physics that breath new life in an old track. Its a win-win

Quote from cargame.nl :Nothing sad about old Westhill version. Nobody experienced the new version yet but the old one already is classified as cool, interesting, challenging and needs to be kept... While... When it actually is being selected for driving the only thing you hear is; oh no not Westhill BORING... I am falling asleep etc..

I think when the new version gets released nobody cares about the old version anymore.

But everybody experienced the old version and know the in and outs. Again, its not a bad track and has some good corners - thats a fact. The reason people are bored is because it looks so empty, and frankly, pretty bad overall. People would be just as excited about the old Westhill if it only had the make up done and added new layouts so slower cars aren't flat out every corner. Of course people will like the new one; its finally a complete track and adjusted for the new tyres. At this point everybody is happy (obviously) about anything that is something new, even if its just some trees around Westhill and 'new' tarmac.

+1 @Sinanju

Quote from Trekkerfahrer : can you implement the old Westhill again (maybe with a small polish from Eric)?

Already been asked and the answer was you have to use an older version for that. Eric also stated that it was designed with the old physics. Sad to say, but the old version is no more, and i am kinda afraid he changed some of the good corners. Its not like it was a bad track and there is nothing wrong with 'quick' chicanes. It just was very sparse in regards to the surrounding. It wouldn't have hurt to have a few more layouts incorporated into the map as well.

Quote from Bmxtwins :I and I'm sure many others would rather see some new tracks in the meantime...

If only anyone had said a word in the last 6 (7?) years.

FYI, its not Scawen who does the tracks, so i think you're talking to the wrong person. Eric talks, so maybe you should talk to him?

(not to mention that it was explained many times what the plans are and why it is how it is now)

You're kinda late People suggested, at least mod support, for years and just recently Scavier started actively working on S3.

As you noted, LFS is still one of the best simulations (not necessarily games) and the potential is massive. It would be the stupidest thing on earth to just make it open source. Plus, DLC is a widely accepted model already, so its not too much of a stretch to think that it (Nordschleife) will come eventually, whether they buy the laser data or just the whole track as it is.

Then again, as seen over at AC, proper mod support gets you very far. Its "free" content for your game and acts like free advertisement/promo. It brings people that want quantity and people that get most of their enjoyment from creating something.

PS: your english seems perfectly fine ^^

PSS: I believe AC does have tyre deformation though, just not visible. I could be totally wrong, but think to have read it somewhere

Quote from Gutholz :1) Under link Recommended System Requirements it should really mention "force feedback steering wheel."
That seems obvious to most on this forum but via the oculus-page many people will find about LFS who have maybe never heard of racing-sims and who might be un-aware what it is about.
.

Or it could put them even more off. LFS has good mouse steering, which is good enough to get the idea. Its probably safe to assume if someone doesnt understand what "racing simulation" means, he definitely doesnt knwo what a force feedback wheel is.

Quote from Eclipsed :Maybe it would be nice to have the new Westhill as extra environment and keep the old one and call it "Westhill 90ies"? And maybe could the old "Blackwood 90ies" from S1 times also added as extra environment? I know,that technically they aren't made in 90ies,just fantasising here...

+1 Maybe call it Westhill Classic.

I like some of the changes but some not so much. For one, the flawless tarmac in comparison to the patchy/old concrete type. Thats not really an improvement and rather boring even just to look at. I'd love to see maybe old road parts still existent. Like Blackwood with old and new tarmac sections. This type of detail helps a lot with immersion of the speed.

The new chicane is interesting, but the old one was a lot of fun too. I've seen a lot of people fly off there, so difficulty was never an issue yet super fun if you nailed it

The sweeping up/downhill is now like a copy of an Aston turn

Quote from luchian :Hypothetical question (..and unrelated to the new update):

IF I'd start building (from scratch, not ripping) LFS's Aston for AC, would that be "illegal" ?

You can always just ask them, you know https://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus

I imagine its also something a programer takes soem pride in. I'm not too bothered by it, but then again, If nobody is online or you (I really) just suck and only can follow the field either way, it's nice to still have some fun racing.

Input lag and tearing only is an issue if you're above the refresh rate of your monitor.

I have to correct myself the typo, I have to U2312HM too not the H and can confirm the slightly lightness on the corners Wiskey mentioned, but really only noticed it in the beginning and forgot about it after a few days. You'd only notice it when looking for it


However, why not egt something really cheap in the meantime until money flows better? What about this? https://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=80928

or ebay.

If you wait a bit and g-sync get sorted out, it's definitely something to consider.

I can recommend the Dell U2312H, which is an IPS panel with still good response times and a heavy foot keeping the whole thing very stable. It also has a pivot funtion and can be raised accordingly. I have it for at least 2 years or something and runnning 24/7

Not too long ago i've read a test about the latest LG IPS series for a fair price of ~150 or something, but can't remember the name.

E: this is where i got my recomendation from: http://www.prad.de/en/monitore ... /review-dell-u2312hm.html

kerb/track/slide are the "canned" effects. They were implemented for people who like to feel the car rumble in their wheel and such. So lowering that gets rid of them.

Quote from Scatter :I know it's realistic that cars snap back and forth violently due to the suspension springing back to the opposite side, but the effect feels boosted in this game.

This is something i feel prominent after Shotglass mentioned some issues and now it really is annoying. Its kinda rough compared to the other forces.

note: again don't know how realistic this is...

Can someone confirm this?

Quote from Shotglass :slide effect?

in the advanced controller options, and they're set to 30 or something on default (i think)

But nevermind, i've just tried it and it seems to just add vibration.
