Eh.
At this point I'd have to agree, S3 is not really worth the money. S2 was, at the point of the release however, and I don't regret buying either. But sure, LFS feels dated these days. From the standpoint of graphics, Project CARS and Assetto Corsa overshadow it easily.
But at some point over the last decade, I feel like the focus on our dear devs' lives has shifted from being commited to development to other things; it's gotten rather silent around LFS. It's kind of a shame, since I prepaid S3 nearly 10 years ago now, but not much has come out of it so far, but I'm always ready got surprised by exciting news.
So all in all: Worth the price, S3 today? Probably not. S2 back in the day? Definitely.

Just my 2 cents on that matter.

Neat. Now I can be inactive on the forums and still see if there's a new patch out.

Are there any low quality streams, for people with crappy internet, or am I screwed and need to wait for sport1?

Steam is horrible.
I want to decide when to download patches, I want to be able to play offline, I don't want to start some stupid program just to play a game I bought.

Beh, it was hosted on RapidShare and is now deleted. If the file name could help you anything, it was Impreza06_KrisMeeke_byGARallying.zip

Quote from Yisc[NL] :Has anyone tried QuickSnooker already and if so, what are the first experiences?

How much are they paying you for that advertising?

I also can't see why I should get a subscription for that kind of game, seems more like a ripoff to me. If more games used that model, I'd still have to pay if I wanted to play Theme Hospital.
Also I prefer the real thing, billard games just don't feel quite right.

How do we start it? "Is S3 coming out tomorrow"?

Because it uses like one elementary operation less? PHP itself is slow enough that that won't make a difference.

Quote from Dygear :Fixed by changing from the ^2 syntax to the pow() function.


<?php 
            
// Calculate Distance
            
$X abs($cCoords->$lCoords->X);
            
$Y abs($cCoords->$lCoords->Y);
            
$Z abs($cCoords->$lCoords->Z);
            
$this->DISTANCE[$PLID] = sqrt(pow($X2) + pow($Y2) + pow($Z2));
?>


Ah, classic mistake. Happens to me once in a while too, ^ often being the bitwise XOR operator.

LFS is dead when this shows 0 over an extended period of time:

How's that an improvement? It looks like every other "I want status updates" request to me.

Yeah, like you'd buy the game if they patched it.

You know, now that Gearbox is developing it, that joke won't work anymore.

Quote from AcesHigh :I think he meant that the car gets "ghost" so that you wont crash/fly when he lags... the player still controls the car, but it just makes it unable to destroy the race for everyone else...

I dont se how this is gonna be done to make it work in a good way..

A system like that would result people abusing it to get past barriers/etc. Not a good idea.

Quote from Racer X NZ :So you support illegal use of software ?

Either you're being retarded or an obvious troll here. That's basically saying someone who is against internet censorship is pro child porn.

Also, I don't really care about piracy. It doesn't affect the big companies nearly as much as they claim. Only at smaller, indy developers I would have moral issues. Of course, pirating software is still illegal, so if one has to do it, they better know about the consequences.

384 kbit/s down, 80 kbit/s up.
Because Dt Telekom AG is too cheap to upgrade their DSLAMs.

amp, I think you forgot the fun times of waiting 5 minutes for your code to compile, just to get a linker error because of a tiny typo buried deep in the code you wrote 3 days ago, but that compiled without problems before implementing your new code.
Or fun variable problems (I can imagine LFS using quite a bunch). Nothing more fun than a tiny mathematical error that messes everything up - and you can enjoy step-by-step debugging.
Programming. Fun times.

Not a .bat, a .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.set]
@="set_auto_file"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\set_auto_file]
@="LFS Setup File"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\set_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\set_auto_file\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\set_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Your\\Path\\To\\LFS.exe\" \"%1\""

Is the .Text property writeable? You might need to call a method like .setText() or something.
Also, did you test if MCI.Info[0].Speed actually has a value assigned?

Quote from matseracer :EDIT: example - in about two minutes, using a cheat-o-matic, i can accurately recreate NOSmod and use it online you know, handbraking for speed?

When you're caught (and this kind of hack is easily caught), you need to pay another £24 to race online again.
That's a pretty good protection there.

Quote from DevilDare :And it got crashed out by a Mini. Get it? Naked women crashed out by a mini?

I know I know.. Terrible joke...

And it finished! I know, it didn't look much like a BMW anymore, but it did finish.

Here's what I have (paddles for paddle cars, shifter for shifter, sequential on the shifter too) - it works perfectly fine when having the shifter type set to "shifter":

road.lfs
/echo hbox
/button 8 gear_1
/button 9 gear_2

sequential.lfs
/echo seq
/button 8 shift_down
/button 9 shift_up

paddle.lfs
/echo paddle
/button 4 shift_up
/button 5 shift_down

I still don't mind it taking "a bit" longer - I wouldn't have the time to play at the moment anyway.
