I guess aero will get really complex if you go into details, but actually aero is a lot simpler to simulate than for example tires. That's why we had flying simulators 20 years before racing sims started to get even remotely realistic.

Actually no, S2 does not include S1. You can't get S2 without S1 though.
S1 and S2 cost £12 each. So if you go from demo to S2 you have to pay £24.

Funny how the tables have turned over the years. Few years ago the US guys were complaining how LFS was overly expensive for them due to strong british pounds against the US dollar.

Quote from speeddemon6 :
As far as the AC Blackwood HD version goes... I think I can see where you're all coming from, but why are we all griping over the fact that the Blackwood HD creators changed some things to make it fit AC's status quo?

It doesn't really fit in AC's style either. All the other tracks have realistic look and feel.

They put too much vegetation and stuff in. The track inside a city setting does not seem realistic either. I get a very tech demo type of feel from this, basically it looks like they tried to cram everything they could in it. Which makes it completely unrealistic to be a real life track.

Quote from cargame.nl :This is more what I think is realistic, XFG wiper is too big though I think and the mirror feels wrong but other then that... Maybe need to give this a try.

Are you like 2,5m tall? :o That view looks to be crazy high.

Anyway, LFS doesn't really fake anything here. The inside car model is the same as the outside model. The view is what you get is what you get. The only way to make the bonnet more visible to the inside would mean the actual bonnet line on the model would need to be raised.
Also the mirror is in the correct position if you do actual measurements from a real car. The limitations on it's position are actually there because it would otherwise go through the windshield.

A lot of the perceived wrongness in the positions and visibility are there because in real life you can move your head to look around and your eyes kind of "zoom" in to the road ahead. It's like when you drive a sports car with a very low seat, first you think you can't see anything out of it, but after you get used to the view you can see fine. In games the view is static.

Also you actually don't often see the bonnet in real life either (unless you are crazy tall I guess), especially in newer cars. Maybe you drive an older car and it has less sloping bonnet or the bonnet is higher over the windshield edge.

Quote from Becky Rose :If gaming, or LFS, is someones hobby and they've money to invest in their hobby - then why ever not? I spend a small fortune on my own past times. LFS isn't really one of them at the moment but it has been a keen interest in the past.

You understood his meaning wrong. It's not about spending money. It's about 3D monitors being a gimmick. Yeah, they have some 3D effect, but you are still looking at a monitor.

Oculus Rift is much more immersive and it's only 300usd for the dev kit (supposedly even less for the upcoming consumer version). You would be hard pressed to find any decent 3D monitor for that price and what you would end up is much worse. So Oculus Rift is not only more immersive and "more 3D", it's also a better deal money wise.

If you want true 3D immersion you should get Oculus Rift or something similar.

3D monitors are bit of a gimmick tbh.

You know the image you get from a real life camera is also effected by the lenses and FOVs used. It's never the same what the actual driver sees.

Quote from MIKE333ACE :I hope it's in their plans, but it should be in their priorities

I think it's important to the devs that the AI is reasonably playable, because there are people who want to race against the AI. But then again there is always a larger percentage of players who play against human players and since there is only one developer only one thing can be improved at once.

There is no code. Just use your username and GAMEpassword in game to unlock S1.

Quote from JackDaMaster :Also the fact that PC gets 60fps whereas consoles get 30.

Don't you mean PC can get any amount of FPS your computer can handle?

Your Internet connection probably isn't fast enough.

Also I know 14 is an age where you easily get excited, but please try to calm down a bit when writing your posts. There isn't any rush and you won't miss anything if you spend a bit more time on using proper punctuation and sentence structures. People usually respond more positively and help you more when they can more easily make sense of what you are trying to say.

Quote from Ki-Men :Is this the first Beta release of this game?

I asking it because the Alpha word is dissapeared from ewerywhere from the game , from notes inside game , from name of the game , from opening screen etc.

I think they are just dropping the whole alpha/beta tags because LFS doesn't really follow the "normal" steps of software development.

This occasionally comes up and the result is always the same. You or anyone else can't really do anything about it. The only thing you can do is take this as a form of flattery.

Overpriced. Just like anything else from Monster.

Yes, it's a bit more expensive than Logitechs offerings and that should be taken in to account when deciding for a wheel. But it's still not Frex or ECCI money.

S2 already has speed at the wheels. S1 is an old version and there are not going be anymore updates to it. It was only updated so it can be played on modern computers and the changes to the master server.

I don't understand what is wrong. Looks very fast and good to me.

Wow. FFB seems really fast on this one. I wish I could afford this wheel.

There are big chances coming to how tyres work already.
