Thanks for the update gents, and the AI videos.
Once the update drops, the first thing I'll do is set up an AI race and a static camera somewhere using Shift + U, and enjoy the day / night transition like a spectator.
Then of course, I'll jump in a car and experience the 1000 Hz physics with multithreading.
Legends!

Yeah it'll go on sale every month or so, up to 70% off. I'd recommend getting the season pack, to get all the content. It has it's quirks / flaws, but is a really great sim (at least to tide you over until LFS updates
). It has a huge amount of content and I personally love the historic stuff it offers.There are some well populated AU/NZ leagues using Automobilista 2 as well. Gravel Trap Legends and ANZCRL for example. Some Ex-LFSers there too.
Super fun car to drive. Under powered, leany and boaty. I was just lapping it for more than an hour.
A lot of fun. Thanks very much for the work that's gone into it.

As a sim racer and LFSer for nigh on 20 years, this is still easily my favourite racing sim project.
The attention to detail and optimisation in LFS is simply second to none.
An the sand-box features like open world levels and track creation tools make it endlessly fun.
Just want to say thanks to all the devs for gifting me 2 decades of enjoyment!

Awesome too see this car in LiveForSpeed.
Huge kudos to Evolution_R and LucasBE!

You should get S3.
Mods are the biggest thing to breathe life into LFS in maybe 12 years or so.

I'm currently playing Automobilista 2, but always keep an eye on Live for Speed, and test-drive the latest mod cars occasionally.
Automobilista 2 is better than Live For Speed in many ways (which is to be expected being 20 years newer), however Live For Speed still has many important advantages and freedoms that no other sims offer in total.
For example:
- The freedom of CTRL+U
- Physics isn't canned for AI
- Open world levels
- Ability to create courses

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

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.
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.
Man this is a good mod. Really.
Thanks for putting in all the effort for our benefit!

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).

Obviously, it's netKar Pro.
Really good mod. Thank you for continuing to improve it.
je suis juste ici pour pratiquer mon français. Le port est-il loin d'ici ou est-il à proximité ?
It will play Doom however.
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!

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.
