There was a few unofficial track mods over the years, some were pretty cool.

I'm not sure about this. There's been lots of re-texture mods over the years. I also recall one that allowed access to the unfinished roads of south city and one that was a mod for the autocross map that made it into a small mountain, but I have never come across any actual 'new tracks'.

Happy Birthday LFS!


And just to be clear. Is this the first time the community has ever heard about Bancroft Autodrome and Fairfield test centre!?

tried that too - still the same

Thanks but I tried that and makes no difference.

Since getting a new monitor and now running a wider 100 deg FOV cars now drop their LOD when about 170m away which is very noticeable and annoying when racing. Bumping dynamic LOD down to 0 in the settings doesn't help.


Has anyone else noticed this or bother by it?

Hi wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or has a solution?

I am getting significant stuttering after 1 lap or so at random times

FPS stay the same (locked at 100FPS), no vsync on a 144hz free-sync monitor (running @ 100hz)

pressing shift + N to turn sound off then on again makes everything go back to silky smooth. Going into audio and selecting primary audio driver has the same effect.

I have tried using Nvidia HD out via the monitor and Realtek audio via the mother board which makes no differnence.

It sounds like you took such a long break from the tyre physics that you don't even remember where you left off.

And you know if you support track modding the community will make tracks that will put the upgraded FE in shame right? And since modding is S3, even more incentive for all the users to upgrade to S3.

It's a nice thought but I doubt it.

Name me 1 modded track in ANY sim that is the same level as the current Blackwood or Westhill in terms of quality or detail.

For anyone interested I managed to fix this
if you change your view to an external view and then go into the view menu a new option appears allowing external view to be rendered in full screen

Or a mobile version! 🤣

Is there a way to have LFS render external view in 32:9?

The view menu says 'external views will use 16:9 aspect ratio'.

Would be nice to watch replays in 32:9 too.

I'm using a Samsung CHG90.

Hi Anton!
I noticed you saved your first forum post for more than 18 years.
No pressure on Scawen to make the announcement befitting

Haha I found that quite funny too. I think like Anton there are many who have been around since the beginning slowly (and quietly) watching our favourite racing sim develop over the years. Long live LFS!

Thanks for Sharing Osen. Great fun especially the industrial area.

The release of the new Fanatec DD wheel has made me think of upgrading from my current Logitech G27

Now I only play LFS. I read previously LFS did not work that well with direct drive wheels or at least didn't use them to their full potential due to the current state of LFS FFB? Or was that improved in 0.6V?

Does anyone have experience with DD wheels and LFS and do you think its worth the upgrade? I could go to a belt driven wheel but with the price of the new DD CSL (5NM) being what it is it seems like a no brainer.

XRT feels fine to me. From what I understand the new version has a steering ratio of 12.5:1 (36 degrees @ 900). This is a realistic ratio for a sports car.

Did you just tell him to reverse his quick and simple adjustments and create 2 new car models instead?

I think it’s a great solution for now but perhaps in the future after graphics and physics updates then specific xr drift and xf rallycross cars would be really nice

Scawen this update is a fantastic idea and great for the community. But to solve all the problem listed above I think the best way forward is to leave the GTR cars as they are and simply have 2 extra cars XR drift and XF rallyrcross (maybe with 4wd)

At them moment it just feels a bit more like using LFS tweak than an offical release.

And road tyres on open wheelers - including the F1 car? I know the answer is well don't use it if you don't like it - but even having it as an option just feels wrong!

I dont post here often but follow the forums closely and have played LFS since the beginning.

Scawen I admire your focus and ability to not get swayed in your goals by idiots like peter collins and those in the community who come on here just to complain rather than appreciate LFS for what it is. It often seems like this forum is full of people complaining about LFS, but I guess that's because they will always make the most noise...



PS new mirrors are awesome - its these small details that make LFS the best!

I'm loving this new GT3 mod - feels spot on

you will want to return the game....

That's exactly what I did. So disappointed. I think I have simply outgrown the GT series. With all the resources and money they have put into this I can't believe this is the result.

Assetto Corsa has certainly shown us what the current generation can provide in terms of a good looking, rewarding driving simulation.

lol @ Massa's spin - 2011 low speed physics are waaaay off

Its because about 18 months ago shift 1 had the exact same build up promising to have decent physics and we were all left disappointed.

I want to believe that it will be decent but I can't help but feel that I will be back to playing LFS/iracing 10 minutes later just like I did last time around.

They are by far the most impressive GT5 pics to date - simply amazing.

Any tips on the 'camera' settings to get those shots?

...looked at them again, just wow.

Proper donuts in GT!!! Finally!

Who the hell drives 3rd person with a wheel?

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

So is the skid sound, lol.

It was all going really well until I heard that, sounds terrible! Still it does look very good overall though.

I have never been able to get into F1 sims - I absolutely love watching F1 but driving them in a sim always feels to 'digital' and almost boring compared to driving touring car / sports car sims. I almost don't mind if they don't get the physics 100% as long as it looks good (which it does) and they capture the 'feel' of F1.

I don't care if the physics end up being shit (I am sure they wont be that bad)

...that is pure porn
