LFS in the news

[Vykos69]

Here we should post links and infos about LFS in the printed news, TV, Radio, Conventions etc (sticky pls. ;) )

[KiDCoDEa]

wow! original post :)

ill edit this once news showup.

[(SaM)]

An awesome (p)review that really makes me proud to be an LFS racer!

[Sean_S35]

Nice interview , :)

[SandeshM]

Nice interview , :)

thank you :P

I am also planning on doing a full review of the game once the final version of S2 is released. If you guys have any more questions or comments about the interview, feel free to tell me here or on the bytesector forums.

[(SaM)]

Well done on the interview. Though:

"..and can be downloaded for free on their website."

That might give people the wrong impression. You can (just as any other game) play the demo for free or pay for full content.
Yes you can download the whole package with S2, but it's just a demo if you dont unlock it with a purchased license.

Great review :) although it underestimates the importance of setup department:
LFS ships with very good and very driveable setups. I haven’t found much reason to change much in the default setups but you can adjust things like camber, suspension, gearing, brake balance and down force to mention just a few of the options.

Auto sim sport (http://www.autosimsport.com/) has a good review in their july magazine (pdf, free download).

LfS Review at gmx.de (http://www.gmx.net/de/themen/computer/games/test/1240684.html)

one of the largest freemailing services in germany and also a well known OSP with a large newsportal

quite a good review of the game (IN GERMAN !)

[Starion83]

I was attending a car show a couple of months ago here in NZ. Most of the cars there were ricey show car bullshit... One fellow however, had some sit in f1-style simulators setup, and a big projector screen on spectate mode watching the racers... And what game was he using to demo his simulators? Why LFS ofcourse! I naturally put down my $5 and had a race, and put on a drift show for the spectators which went down rather well (i drew a pretty freaking big crowd!). After that the fellow that was running the simulators told me to stay put because he wanted to race me, hah! Was a pretty close race, but i pulled ahead right at the end to take the win.

Here ends my ego-inflating story :). Was very very cool to see LFS somewhere other than my study-room however.

[Tweaker]

Sounds like this company: http://www.trinity-racing.com/

Was it them? If so, thats crazy... because I just saw them at the Champ Car - San Jose GP. But they were playing GPL and rFactor :( But some LFS fans were there :) And they agreed that with LFS loaded up, it would've been a better example of a simulation.

I have yet to see a LFS on-show display. Maybe I'll have to put together one someday. Would be cool if LFS was at E3 someday :) (only an hours flight away)

[the_angry_angel]

PC Format, Sept 2005 has LFS S2 on the cover disk!

Unfortunately no review or article as far as I can see :(

[ORION]

They just put the file there without any info? lol

[the_angry_angel]

Yup =/ Nothing in the magazine - it isnt even listed in the "whats on the disc".

All thats there is this (see attachment)

Life For Speed? Which game is that? :really:

[(SaM)]

Hey that PC is a bargain! If only they'd supply a wheel with it it would be a complete LFS package.. all you need!
Poor job on the research and the graphics tho, haha.

[Frankmd]

Mind you that its without monitor, so add about 400~500 euro to get a monitor that matches the quality of the PC and you still have a pretty expensive pc.

[(SaM)]

I know. But then again, I havent checked PC prices lately. Back when I bought this rig I had spent alot more for a pc like that, but I think the prices dropped anyway.

[joncox]

lfs was mentioned on motorstv this month. they were reviewing the best motor racing games of the new millenium. unfortunately they only mentioned s1 version. but they still liked it.

[franky500]

LFS.. one of very few games to get a great rating while its still at alpha / beta stage!!! now.. who else can do that? honestly!!!

Peliplaneetta, one of the biggest game-sites of Finland, reviewed S2. It's in Finnish, but English summary should be available soon.

http://www.peliplaneetta.net/arvostelut/566/

+ Physics engine
+ Online-features
+ LFS World
+ Strong community

- Sound
- The feeling of being there (or something like that....)

I guess 91 is the rating in percent?
If yes, then it's a nice review :)

[Qurpiz]

I guess 91 is the rating in percent?
If yes, then it's a nice review :)

Yes, 91/100

EDIT: The English summary:

Live For Speed has to be one of the top Internet racing simulations for PC at the moment. The level of realism may scare you away at first, but the game gets better and better the more you learn it. S2 now has the eagerly-awaited new cars and tracks. Best of all, you can find now some formula cars with realistic aerodynamics implemented. The game - no sorry, 22-car-on-grid simulation - has a realistic physics engine which can give you a challenge for countless hours. The physics engine is one of LFS's best features. However, the game does not compare to other products on the market in terms of the audiovisual experience, due to modest engine sounds and graphic design. You can buy the game from www.liveforspeed.net and support the independent development team. Try the demo first and fall in love, I know I did.

[huxorator]

I put a small news on www.bremer-liga.de (http://www.bremer-spiele-liga.de/news.bsl) - it would have been longer if I haven't been that late after the S2 release. Will give it a feature once in a while on the site.

[Jesters Tear]

It's annoying that I was misquoted... but oh well

Live For Speed - Mark Marsh: "It's like Chuck Norris bathed in honey - a careful touch is required but oh so rewarding when you get it right. Easily the best online racing experience you can find. The fact it is developed by three blokes in a potting shed only adds to how amazing this game is. Go buy! Now! (http://www.liveforspeed.net/)"

Thats quite a good sum up of LFS :)

For anyone who wants to find the article in their copy of the Sunday Times, it's on the page before the back cover of the Sport section, and the article is called "Minnows take on the big fish".

Great review - weird is however he writes that the BF1 is the lone exception of unlicensed cars, while there are actually 3, the RAC, BF1 and MRT.

The local fox affiliate paid us a visit to talk about the business we're building using LFS and the Force Dynamcs 301. Now I know that whenever you see a story on the news, you're getting a lot of quotes out of the overall context. The way it was cut I feel it does make us sound like idiots in places to anyone who is into racing. Ho hum. :)

Don't get me wrong though, I think the piece was really well done and they did use a part of me talking about Live For Speed.

I hope i will be visited by a TV-station very soon, they has shown some interest in a mail.
Also a newspaper are ready for something.
Jason Watt former Formel 3000 driver has tried LFS and he thinks its a great game, but he is in a wheel chair after an accident, and can`t really play LFS.
Right now my team mate Who Cares (Johnny S. Nielsen) are visiting Jason and making an interview for LFS.dk.

I will try to get Jan Magnussen to drive LFS later in the year, if he can/will.

[J.B.]

Good Stuff. I hope there will be a translation.



BTW, what is Den Blå Avis? When I just saw it in your sig I recognized it as a sponsor that Jason Watt used to have on his F3000. :scratchch

Just in case you aren't aware of it, thrustmaster makes some wheels with analog paddles.

[Richard Torp]

Yesh Den Blå avis was On Jasons F3000..:) Infact they owned the Team with David sears and Montoya also raced there. I spoke with Montoya at Hockenheim in `98...

Jason has tried it with the Thrustmaster if i remember corrects, but my team mate Johnny, knows more about it than me.. but its not the same feelings as pedals..

Den Blå Avis has a paper who is a buy and sell paper. It`s for free now as they are more minded for running their online business..

www.dba.dk
The owner Karsten Ree, owns a lot of other companys. A ZOO, www.shoppit.dk and some other. And then he owns a lot of other things.

He is doing so much for motorsport in Denmark.

Good that he thinks there is some "fair and close racism" going on online. :rofl:

From what I gather he hasn't driven LFS much yet because his wheel is broken and he likes GT legends and WTCC.

[Richard Torp]

Yes he likes WTCC and GT Legends..but when the new wheel is ready for him and he can test LFS, I think he then will like LFS most...:thumb: I hope...:D

[BilboSmeggins]

:D That translator is fantastic. Pure comic genius!! I nearly pissed myself when I heard GP4 creator referred to as "Geoff Gramaphone". Fantastic stuff. I was feeling quite miserable 'til now. :D

From the Guldborgsund Avisen (paper)

[Richard Torp]

My team mate Johnny S. Nielsen (Who Cares) also made it into the news paper. It was nearly a whole page he got. Biggest picture was 22 x 15 cm!

There was a lot with him and our team, but Live For Speed got its own "box" (see site 2)

[Richard Torp]

Also my team mates from Nykøbing Falster in Denmark, Allan (Alland44) and Jan Didriksen (gubbe) who is brothers, also made it into the local newspaper...

Very nice. Any chances of translations? Else the pretty pictures will have to suffice (and they're not exactly groundbreaking for regular visitors).

Am Mittwoch geht BMW Sauber F1 Team Test- und Ersatzfahrer Sebastian Vettel mit Official Corporate Partner Intel spielen. Von 13:00 bis 14:30 Uhr ist er in der Innenstadt im Myers Department Store an einer Spielkonsole aktiv. Dort steht er von 14:00 bis 14:30 Uhr auch für Interviews zur Verfügung. Ab 16:00 Uhr tritt er am Simulator im Luna Park bei dem Intel-Spiel "Live for Speed" gegen den australischen Computerspielweltmeister an.

BMW Sauber F1 Test Driver Sebastian Vettel will be playing LfS this wednesday against the australian PC games Worldchampion...

14:00 bis 14:30 Interviews, Myers Department Store
16:00 Uhr Luna Park (LFS)

[aoun]

in an aussie server? or just against an aussie somewhere...?

[ShannonN]

in an aussie server? or just against an aussie somewhere...?
Sounds like interviews of this F! dude in Myers store and the race challenge at Luna Park, so could be either Sydney or Melbourne?

Wonder who the Aussie (LFS) champ is? and if he's a BMW champ or did they pick an aussie GTI champ to give the F1 driver a chance hee hee

[Da Hoe]

chaz!

[bbman]

"australian computer games world champion"... Doesn't that contradict itself? (:razz: )

Question is: World Champion in what game? Frogger? Because I sure never heard of a LfS World Championship - that has been won by an Aussie...

[zeugnimod]

I guess they had to make it sound special. "World champion" sounds better than "one of the best drivers in Australia and probably the world". :D

I guess the F1 driver will lose by far anyway.

[DTrott]

Probably been posted several times but PCGamer UK did a review and had a demo of LFS. It was actually from here that I found out about live for speed.
On their disks they have an extended version of the big game hunt (which is more or less a list of the best games of each genre) in .PDF format. I'll quickly upload it.

I have to link to id because it was too big, it's uploaded as a .rar and is just under 3mb big.

wow this is great, in LFS México & LFS Colombia we have too a racing centers with 6 pc only to race LFS, but your "cars and monitors are so bigger" than us.

a question, we also put from our center a TV a live for broadcast to the championships, but we have problems with the video (slow or so mucho buffering). Could you recommend some software to resolve this please?

The AVSIM Online News:

Fun on Four Wheels!
http://avsim.com/images/common/sep_bar.gif
Posted: Wednesday, August 8, 2007 - 11:30
Maybe the idea of driving a "Follow Me" car round an airport doesn't do it for you? Maybe you want something with four wheels and no wings, but a bit faster than the pushback tug? Feelthere may have just the thing for you, with their Live for Speed "Ultimate Racing Simulator".

Described as a "serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving", you can race against the AI but the real fun is to be found online, in multiplayer mode.

To find out more, head down the back straight, through the chicane, and into the Feelthere Website (http://www.feelthere.com/2005/lfs.html).



Found it on: http://www.avsim.com/

A bit strange that they say it's "their" simulation...

[(SaM)]

I like that they're promoting LFS, but it's indeed a bit strange that they make it seem like it's their sim. Apart from the "For support please visit LFS", they give no credit.
Anyone that didn't know LFS yet will think Feelthere made the sim by looking at the page.

[The General Lee]

Good publicity. Shame to looks like they are trying to pass it off as their own...

[SpikeyMarcoD]

Seems a fraud better off buying direct. Dont know if this is a authorized reseller (like 4players.de). All downloads are from lfs.net. they require to license with lfs.net (hopefully people see that and decide to buy it direct).

[zeugnimod]

Their forum has an admin called "victor". :D

[S14 DRIFT]

I see cheap tacky wheels :really:

[foofighter]

hehe, may be they should add an "airfield-racetrack" to get those customers more excited :x

[troy]

sounds indeed a bit fishy, i don't see them in the official resellers list,i guess i will shortly email the support and ask about the site. i can remember there was a license fraud once on the german lfs forums, a guy bought lots of vouchers but didn't pay for them and then sold them to other people. within 1 month all the accounts where gone and the guys who bought one had a lot of hassle to get the money back from the scammer.

Hello and thanks for your email.

Don't worry, that is an official site that has permission to sell vouchers
:)

In fact your email has reminded me that we need to add them to the reseller
list. We hadn't done so before because they only set up their reseller site
very recently.

Thanks again for your concern!

They use LfS to show off the tech too. :) I wonder how loud the seat is.

Intel Racing Tour have finally landed in Poland :)

From what I have heard, the concept is similar to german's edition. You have to drive 2 laps in BF1 on Aston National and best lap counts (so really only the second one). Of course, the main price is connected with Robert Kubica, as authors of best lap times from 5 cities around Poland, will have an occasion to meet with him at karting circuit. There are also some high-end computers from Intel to be given for the fastest womens, that will take part in competition.

More info (in polish language only) here: http://www.intelracing.wp.pl/

So, yet again 1:0 for LFS vs rFactor :nod:

[traxxion]

LFS was shown in the Dutch late-night show "Jensen" tonight. One of the guests was the famous Dutch F1 commentator Olav Mol and both the presenter and Mol used a simulator with LFS (looked like Formula V8 on Blackwood - I only caught a glimpse of it).
I'll try to get a replay of it :)

I'll see what I can find as well!

Edit: it's the BF1 on Blackwood :)
Edit2: A shame they don't call the game by it's name, nor is it mentioned in the credit titles :(

[(SaM)]

Hahaha, they both sucked major ass! Was very funny seeing both of them playing LFS. I liked how Jensen mentioned it was the real deal, 'a simulator for racers just like the simulator in wich aircraft pilots get trained in.'

But yeah, no mention of LFS whatsoever. :(

[Sponge]

Yeah it was nice to see it on tv.. but shame they didn't mention it was LFS :( Noticed the "support" guy in the back? he had 2 pc's to run LFS and that simulator :scratchch

[deggis]

I couldn't understand a word but that looked like a casual prime time talk show? So I don't think not mentioning LFS was that big thing... 99% of people who saw that would have forgotten it immediately anyway :D

Well, there's plenty of people watching this show and also plenty of people who are into racing know Olav Mol, the guest. People that are into racing are the target group for LFS. And you can bet also plenty of people watched the show especially because of Olav being in it.

I'll go look into the channel's forums to see if anyone asked a question about wich 'game' it was.

[NikLaw]

Jumping into the fastest car and most difficult as a beginner it doesn´t suprise me they can´t handle it. Bad car choice.

Cool... the simulator was probably a force dynamics 301?
And it was the only carchoice since the guest is F1 commentator.

:D today at the broadcast of the last F1 grand prix they showed that simulator with LFS again :D now you can win a day with the simulator and with Christian Albers to give you tips.. but if an LFS race wins that, Christian will be the one that will receive the tips :p

I already was confused a bit... But I really thought I saw LFS (BF1 @ BLGP (BF1@BLGP))

anyways, I was wondering... Does anyone know if they use LFS tracks or homemade tracks in the BMW team...? (as in, do THEY mod?)

Christijan Albers? Hahaha, that guy will probably give you tips how to always take out the gaspump from your fueltank before driving off.
I'm sure he learnt a good valueble lesson from his little 'accident'.

Christian is in luck since fuelpomps and pitcrews are not modelled in LFS yet

What? Do you mean BMW F1 team uses LFS to practice? No way.

[Highsider9]

I was at the Zürich Auto show today. BMW-Sauber had rFactor running but at Goodyear there was a Full-Motion Simulator with LFS running. :)

[UncleBenny]

odd since LFS has michelin's in it and not goodyear

[Highsider9]

There are no Michelin Ads on Blackwood iirc, however in the Version they used most Ads were from Goodyear.

[srdsprinter]

That's awesome. I really wonder though, coming from a G25, focusing alot on the feedback through your hands. Would a motion rig like that just be sensory overload?

Maybe this is a downside of Scavier not really "promoting" the game... dunno how free the EULA or whatever is what comes to using it on motion sims but obviously something should be clarified when it reguarly happens that the motion rig developer takes credits for the game too.

This Festo is especially interesting, on the old video their side (http://www.festo.com/INetDomino/coorp_sites/en/ded5d1663e4760f1c12572d00035d10d.htm) (posted on this thread earlier) they have also changed the Blackwood ad banners to "Festo" banners. :really:

The news is only on polish version of site, because the event is local. But I still think this is a nice advertisement.

There will be also a report of full event(The news up there is just a report from official practice). Maybe we will make reports from international lfs drifting events too.

Did also you notice in the Festo video, they used the G25 but they had scraped off the Logitech logo from the steering wheel, and the driver was "hiding" the trademark red buttons as well. Looks really strange. :really:

The motion stuff looks like a dumbed down version of Force Dynamics. I bet they have done nothing and just bought a shitload of "junk" to sell under a fake name.

[SamH]

I don't know if anyone else did, but I contacted the Design World publication editor. I had a pleasant back/forth with the guy, who promised to make changes to the online publication. That appeared in a statement at the top of the page, with a link to lfs.net.

I don't want to suggest that FESTO were deliberately trying to mislead, and it could all have been an error or misunderstanding in the transfer from company to publication, but whether deliberate or not, I felt that it was inappropriate to leave it unaddressed. LFS is an indy product, and it needs all the recognition it can get. If people see the FESTO seat and like the car simulator aspect of it, but can't afford the whole package, why should LFS be denied their opportunity for a sale?

Although I don't like drifting, I must admit that you made some really nice screens there! :up: :)

Live for Speed is featured in the most current issue of the German GameStar magazine. It is featured in there among other games in the first article about the current GameStar League season.

Picture of the article can be found here: http://static.4players.de/lfs-attachments/files/img.php_240.jpg (Picture made by Edvin "TNH" Zec of #low-racing)

Translation (of the relevant parts):
The Fanatec Live for Speed premier league found its 30 elite drivers. In a dramatic qualification they were able to secure their place in the highest class of the GameStar League. In the first of 2 qualification groups, GT-A, The two LFS-drivers Hendrik von Eye and Johannes Scheuerle grimly fought for the first place - in the end, von Eye was able to claim it for him. In the second group, GT-B, things happened to be nothing less serious: With Nils Naujoks, one of the best LfS drivers in the world was on first place here. The level of skill in the qualification was generally very high: the driver on 16th place only missed qualification by a narrow 20 points.

[[ Stuff about money here; this season of GSL issues more than 30k € worth of cash- and non-cash-prizes; every driver who participates gets money for every race he/she participated in ]]

Game-TV broadcasts the thrilling matches live! The precise broadcast plan is accessible on the internet at www.game-tv.com. We wish the best of luck to all participants - and we hope our spectators will have a lot of fun.

Not any news though, but think I've seen similar pictures posted before.
Taken last December at a local shopping centre (Rocca al Mare Kaubanduskeskus <- for Estonians). It was situated at the furthest place possible at the centre. I was surprised to see it in Estonia, but had no time to try it.

Gamestar seems to take LFS really serious:tilt:
