LFS is boring because there aren't any hosts other than
1) cruise and drift - lazy drivers, except for very few exceptions on drift servers who actually do wring the cars at or near 10/10ths
2) demo - XRG and XFG are demo cars for good reason: they're castrated econoboxes, and FBM @ Blackwood offers zero novelty
3) GTR@AS3: this combo's been on since Day One. The day S2 came out, I was racing AS3 on GTRs already.


There aren't any LRF servers, no GTR servers on less-used tracks, only a very small handful of TBO/LX4 servers, absolutely no FO8/F1 servers, etc.


The state of things in LFS due to the lateness (inarguable) of the physics/VW/Rockingham patch is miserable. Compounding this is the apparent incapability of LFS hosts/players to play anything but the very most boring track/car combos.

I might just give up for another 3-4 years and come back once S3 is out.

Your point is?

I didn't touch LFS for about 2 years, came back + people were still posting on the "When will... be released" topic i voted on before I left, it was clear to see no progress had been made.

iRacing is much more interesting, to be honest. If it takes a giant company of people working very fast to keep a game constantly refreshed and new, then that's what it takes.

LFS is a great game, its what I base all of my new driving game experiences on.. "Oh, this feels quite a lot like LFS, I like it" - but LFS itself is just..... Same old same old.

+ The community is full of grump children who set out their day to purposely flame people for no reason.

You must be blind, cargame s2 use all tracks with all cars ( Exept single seater )

and have other servers with all tracks with single seaters, and s1 server and demo server

and if you dont like or think lfs is boring, then uninstall and go to play a crappy game like NFSS or NFSHP3 and enjoy stunning gfx with crap physics or go to play rCraptor where you need 2349820948093284 mods to race 1 track,

Your lucky if you get to race against more than 2 people in cargame, its a massive wreckfest and with so many classes, it just ends up in solo hotlapping. And, people vote for shite tracks such as AS3 far too often.

I'd bet there are some LRF or F1 servers, but there are not any people there.

just go to r2r tbo,its always fun. or play girlfriend

Heh mustang, its R4R TBO server, Might be quieter as most people are practicing on the R2R GT2 server for the dailyicious series (rotates each Thursday From GT2 > TBO )

no shit lfs is boring

Is not allways like that, the best moment to race in cargame is when they are 15 +/- racers , above of 20 start the chaos

you say no servers, only children but what do you expect then you all left?
people makes people
btw if everyone would leave their principles(i cant play lfs without a new patch) behind and would start playing again, it could be just like 2007

Quote from Breizh :

That's what most people do, nothing wrong with it

I've been playing iRacing this summer, no LFS at all, and I haven't informed about that in the LFS forum

Quote from e2mustang :

Indeed!
It's hard finding good server nowdays, but at least we tries to keep this server somewhat professional. By that I mean not a big wreckfest.

There are various servers out there, sadly on those random servers it's 1-4 people on, while most people are crusing and other stuff

I spend most of my time racing Uf1 or XFG round the carpark or Autocross...Each to their own I guess. :eclipsee_

I like pointless threads like this one... its so fun to see people make fool of them selves.

To be honest i dont see any reason as to why we need to know that just YOU dont like LFS and that you are going to stay away for 3-4 years. Just do it and dont think about it.

As i tend to think i have a life nowdays i dont spend all my time on LFS. And TBH i think more people should try it, any game will be boring if you spend to much time on it. I still enjoy 2 practice/fun sessions with my teammates and 1 league race a week in LFS.

If i feel like playing LFS i just go online and do it, or if i dont feel like doing it... guess what??? im not doing it, i just play another game or do something useful. And i dont write stupid topics about it cause nobody gives a damn about what I think if LFS.

/end of rant.

Honestly, I don't play LFS anymore either (lack of new stuff really). But I don't go around making threads about it.

Exactly, we all play some Sim, why to make this down. We all know the process about patching.

Not to self-promote or anything, but I have an empty LRF server looking for some love.

Well, I've already spent $200 on iRacing, and almost didn't see how much I've spent.

On LFS, I've spent $36. Got a lot of fun for a while (while it was the best sim around). But I personally think that it is as good as just one programmer can get.

Scawen is very talented, most don't have a clue about how hard is to code a simulator, but making a step further on LFS for a more realistic driving might be a impossible task for LFS team. At least, to keep it up with other simulator offerings.

I'll eventually try LFS once a new patch comes out, and if S3 is going to be ever released, I'll buy it. But it still depends heavily on the leagues to have nice races, while on iRacing you can expect good races everyday (at least once you pass the rookie license).

I would say that LFS did worth the money I spend, as well iRacing.

yes i agree. lfs is very boring today. I like just cargame.nl but its to much serious ad you cant choose track you drive. You just drive them all and that sux.
there is also no rallye server.. i loved the old rallye demo with xrt.. today there are many many crusing servers and everywhere are pretty angry admins who love kick others.
I also hate behavior of devs and administrators, because they ban you, they denied you to upload skins or denied your forum account if you are talking too much. They dont warn. You buy lfs license, they reduce it to something useless and if you complain, they delete your account on forums to make you quiet. that sux too

and its because your skin contains nudity, drugs on the skin which you are violating the rules and do you really think that LFS Devs are bad for you? and you should know the rules from the start not blaming them.

On Topic: Do we need to get bother on this thread about slowness of the devs cmon guys don't take it seriously

no they dont say anywhere that they will denied using skins without warning.

its not problem that they are slow. The prob is they do nothing.. their just promising!

Quote from Breizh :

This point is perfectly arguable - there was never a promised release date. A planned release date is not a promised release date.

I will concur that the state of things is miserable, but I will currently challenge anyone saying LFS is dead - the leagues I run still have participants - this keeps the sim alive for the time being.

Until the new patch comes out, I will continue working with what I have, and I'm not dissappointed in the delay, because I was not anticipating the release - I will only anticipate it once it is released.

Quote from Skins upload page :

Rules and regulations:DO NOT upload skins which contain offensive images!
If a skin that contains nudity, pornographic, racist or any other extremely offensive content is uploaded, the skin(s) will be removed without notice and you will no longer be allowed to upload skins here.

That isn't enough warning?
