Quote from Pukyy :a dream is a dream.

In that case...

What about a 1:4 scale of something the size of Isle Of Man?
I guess it would be about 12km x 5km. Similar in size to Everon from the Arma mil-sim series.
  • South City is the main settlement in the south-east, with Blackwood on it's outskirts.
  • Westhill could be in in the norwest area; the agricultural biome. Various dirt roads are also in this area perfect for rally and rally-cross.
  • Aston is in the midlands near a small hamlet. The area has numerous rolling hills including Aston Hill, a 3km long hill climb.
  • The rest of the island is dotted with 4 other small villages and connected via B-roads.
  • A scenic B-road circumnavigates the island's coast.
  • A north-south dual-carriage motorway runs from the northern-most village to South City.

I love that LFS is both a hardcore track racing sim and an open world sandbox where you can create your own layout and make your own fun.

I often wonder how large a world the engine would be capable of handling?

Imagine a huge 'LFS island' with all the race tracks spread out, and roads interlinking them, so you could take the country roads from Westhill to South City Smile

Quote from Sobis :I've just recently started using Fanatec CSL DD. No issues with it, just a minor inconvenience that for some reason LFS sees 2 Fanatec devices of which only 1 works so sometimes it hooks to the wrong one. Might be something fixable, haven't looked into it yet.

I know there are definitely more DD users out there with way more experience but I haven't heard anything negative about usability of DD with LFS.

Fanatec CSL DD user here as well. Works perfectly.
I run it in compatibility mode (yellow power light) so that Fanaleds works.

Quote from Inouva :LFS can still shine by slapping on steam, or you prefer that the game remain in the dark like was for the past 18years?

Classic strawman fallacy here; stating I must either agree with you, or I must have a preference for the game to 'remain in the dark' - even though I never alluded to anything remotely near that.

But anyway, your post is purely speculative as you don't know the current sales figures or the forecast uplift that publishing the game on Steam would have, to know whether it would make sense to do it.

By the way, even without visiting the forums or Reddit I received notification about the update from 2 other sources, namely the LFS newsletter and subscription to the LFS YouTube channel.

LFS is a niche within a niche. It's almost a cult game at this point.
Slapping it on Steam won't achieve much at all, other than hiving off 30% of revenue to Valve.

You are describing life as a fan or follower of Live For Speed.
Patience is a requirement. Thumbs up

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :Eric recently said he'd be giving some new screenshots soon.

To be clear he said he'd "think about maybe" sharing some new screenshots.
I've been on the internet for long enough to know how quickly a "think about maybe" can become an iron clad guarantee, followed by outrage about broken promises.

Quote from super_gt :why should others earn undeserved money? that will be a huge mistake!

I'm not sure you're understanding how licencing agreements tend to work.

Once the tire and graphics are updated, I'd love for the source code to be licensed out to other developers.

The foundations of LFS are so solid, and easily hold up today.
It would be awesome to see where others could take it.

Like what Reiza Studios did with Rfactor 1 (Automobilista) and Project Cars 2 (Automobilista2).

My feedback is, this car is excellent.
Slightly taily under power on slow speed exit, but it feels realistic.
And it's quite well balanced with the other GTR cars.
Very good mod, so thank you!

Quote from Scawen :The Adelaide course is challenging to learn and this extreme high speed corner (2nd picture) is very scary! Schwitz

If you're referring to Turn 8 at the current Adelaide street circuit, this might provide drivers with some tips. Different cars here obviously, but the same principles.

Fantastic mod.
I love the driver movement, how the driver leans into the corners.
It can look a but strange when counter-steering though.
Is it at all possible to dampen or delay the animation somehow?

Just in case it helps anyone with a CSL DD, FanaLEDs works, only when the wheel in compatibility mode (press power butting until it's yellow).

By the way, Bose321 is a fine human - still helping out even though the app is no longer supported. Thanks!

I figured as such.

Of course, my next question is whether anyone has a way to get the LEDs working on a CSL DD Base?

I can't see the dash clocks with my FOV, so they're important to my setup.

Apologies for the massive bump, but wondering if FanaLEDs is still supported?
I can't get it working with my Fanatec CSL DD.
It seems to detect my Clubsport Pedals but not my wheel or display.

Very cool and under-rated mod.
Thanks for it's continued development!

Quote from NumberTwo :Depends on how far down the physics rabbit hole Scawen will go i guess.

I think the rabbit hole is 12 years deep so far, so a few more months tis but a scratch on the surface.

I think he was using sarcasm to suggest that your comment was that of someone who is immature.
