To the developers!

[wolframm]

I just want to gratulate the developpers for this game!
I've only played the demo version of it, but all the physiks are just great! as i know, there is no other racing sim. that compares to that one! :thumbsup:
continue working like this!
i'm watching forward for buying the game! I'm hoping to see the finished game soon!
thanks a lot, and bye!

[Vendetta]

Hopefully you will buy S2 :D

WoW one of few people that admire work of devs. Yeah and there is no better game than this LFS. Great jobs devs.:thumb:

why wait? S2 alpha is perfectly playable as it is! £24 is a bargain, and when LFS full is released you wont have to learn all the cars and tracks!

get playing now and join the fun!

err? last i checked a big big chunk of the sim market was lfs ;)

[joeynuggetz]

Don't know if this was ever brought up, but if the devs made a blackwood or fernbay quality Nordichleif (spelling?) track, I'm almost certain that this would win over alot of people. People would pick up LFS just becuase of this track. Once they're here, they'd be hooked on the physics and everything else and LFS would grow overnight. No modern PC sim has this track as far as I know. How awesome would that be? Sounds like a great marketing plan to me. All you see in the rFactor and GTL forums are requests for a high quality version of this track. Sure, we have conversions, but an accurate scratch built track for the greatest PC driving simulator would be the tits.

[tristancliffe]

You pay the licence fee and model it, and we're all ears (although it'd be a bit rubbish to race on). There are many threads about the Nurburgring...

[STROBE]

err? last i checked a big big chunk of the sim market was lfs ;)
and ajp didn't say "sim market", he said "racing games" ;)

[Racer Y]

err? last i checked a big big chunk of the sim market was lfs ;)

Sim market, yeah maybe, but as a whole..... nah they get something like Flatout or your favorite :) NFSU or whatever and after about 2 weeks a play
starts to gather dust or take up HD space.
But I imagine a VERY big chunk of the sim freaks play LFS
and I think LFS should be compared to like Starcraft and Quake and Diablo
instead of the "other racing titles".

But still there are many noobs that dont admire their work because they are working in group of 3 or because there is no nos

Wow, I thought I would get away from the rFactor forums and come to a more sophisticated place where people could throw ideas around and have serious discussions about what I thought was a better sim. Not sure why you're coming across so harsh. I wont pay for a license, but I'd pay for the track. This track may not be your cup of tea, but I dont think it's necessary to take that kind of tone to other you share this forum with.

[tailing]

It's just that there has been a lot of discussion about the Nurburgring and there's a very important reason why we have no real life tracks in LFS and that is the licensing costs are huge. First off the devs probably don't have the money to outlay initially and even if they did the price of LFS would skyrocket to recoup the money. At this point the best we can hope for real tracks is that at some point car and track editors will be released.

[P5YcHoM4N]

Or they could try and sweet talk the owners of tracks into letting them make them for a night with Scawen :p

[v4forlife]

as far as the ring bit...well i think a made up test track, type thing that may have orogins in the ring, or the gt test track, or forza's one, but has the devs signature.

and this is the longest ive kept playing a game, as i get bored very quickly. i have loads of other games that once i complete them, they just sit on the shelf, but i aint really put down lfs since i picked it up.

well done devs for making not just a game, but an addiction

[Messiah]

But still there are many noobs that dont admire their work because they are working in group of 3 or because there is no nos

What? There is no NOS in LFS? .. phew .. I go and quit immediately! :smileypul

[Racer Y]

To me one of the best things about LFS is that it is totally original, well besides having the MRT and the RAC.

You know, alot of people seem to want this "newbiering" or whatever...
As far as a request for real tracks goes, this one is by far the most asked about :)
I never heard of it until I got hooked on LFS, wich made me interested a little bit in real racing (is F-1 really real?) Anyways, it was the only track I could get to work for that oh so wonderful GTP mod for nascar. I'll admit, I can see why soooo many people want this track. But personally I think Eric could probably make something that surpasses it. Also, I think... I think the
numbers ring version I got is like 14 miles long. But I think I've heard others
say that the track is like 20ish miles long.:zzz:

I really don't see something that's this long really being used much in LFS
no matter how cool it was. I mean we don't see servers with fern black or kyoto long filled to capacity do we? So why waste all that coding and the consumer's H/disk space?

Like I said, I got to play on that track with the "other guys" mod. I liked the track because it was like racing on a roller coaster. I'm assuming most people like the track because of the way it lays out and not its length. Wouldn't it be better to have a track that had all the appealing aspects, be totally original
and yet be only ..... I dunno... 6 miles long?

[NotAnIllusion]

Um, yes.

[ellis_dee]

Newbiering??? Forget it.... The track is called the Nordschleife or Nürburgring-Nordschleife. It was build roughly around like 1920. There was also a shorter südschleife, but as far as I know, doesn't exist anymore. Apart from its length it is probably the most demanding track to drive in the world because of its numerous corners and climbs. It takes around 40- 50 laps to know roughly your way around and then the rest of your life to master it. Folks even from england go there to drive a lap and every Porsche (and probably most other car brands) take their test drives there. A wealth of information and videos is available on the net if you google for it.

Up to 1976, the were F1 races held there, but after the Lauda crash, they stopped that for security reasons. The new GP track was built, and thats why the old 22km config with the long start-finish straight ist no longer available. Current track lenght is 20.835 km (or around) that. So the demand for that track is probably not only because it is very hard to master, but more for its history and being THE ORIGINAL. I like the LFS tracks very much, but this one can't be copied....Maybe we have to wait until like 2009 when there is S3 and the track editors and some folks have put their effort in building that track for lfs like others are currently doing for rFactor, but a substitute won't cut it.

How did you manage to turn this thread into a Nürburgring thread? :D

[the_angry_angel]

Same way as any other thread. Here are the steps to do it yourself;

1. Goto lfsforums.net
2. Click on the last updated post button
3. Briefly read first 4 threads, skipping the odd numbers
4. Using an ingenious amount of math, calculate the average deviation of the post-modernism of the thread.
5. Post according to outcome of step 4, which actually shows you what the original posters were thinking about when posting in said thread.

The disturbing problem is that this usually comes out as "sex", "cars", "new tracks", and "the colour of Scawen's underwear when mixed with the left over hair from Victor's previous haircut". What is more disturbing is that this math actually came out of a bizarre accident with Bob and ColCob's physics talks, TristanCliffe posting, 4 cans of Baked Beans (Tesco's own variety), 12 cakes (assorted variety), and a few angry posts from a demo racer wanting to rice things up. As you can imagine, the thread was quarantined for the safety of the community.

Hope that helps Hyperactive ;)

I want...nos!

[whitey6272]

Doesn't a british road legal car hold the record for fastest Nürburgring lap of a production car?

A radical SR8 or something?

[Ball Bearing Turbo]

I want...nos!

For about $800 you can get a great kit for almost any car!

Let us know how you make out with that!

[Kajojek(PL)]

LOL I want four door car:D

[v4forlife]

how hi-jacked has this thread gotten?!?!?

the ring is fun, demanding and very scary, ask anyone else who has been around it, and i think it would be great for a track about 10 miles ish long to be on here. make it really demanding, but totally original. thats what this game is alot about, being original. the devs arnt stuck by rl, they can make the tracks however they want, and i think they should really utilise that with a very long test track...just like what the ring was originally used for.

I decided Racer Y's post was the last intelligent one so I will start here, and frankly I couldnt agree more (no wonder I thought it was such an intelligent post:D)
We would all love to race the great race tracks of the globe in a true race simulator such as the very special LFS. I personally would like to see Bathurst.....BUT, honestly, any track that generates good racing is going to be special.
This thread is certainly worthwhile, the devs should be given knighthoods or something.....:thumb:

In keeping with the new topic - if you want to race the Nurburgring, go play GPL :nod: If you can master that track and get a faster lap than 8.20 in one of those insane cars, come back here and receive your award. If you have no idea what Nurby is or why it's so revered by race fans, go do your homework :D

nK has a version as well which is pretty good (it's a GPL conversion), and great fun in the Mini (even though it's a new, big mini and not a proper little one :))

Back to the old topic: umm .. yay LFS. Pretty impressive what 3 guys can do without evil corporate pressure :nod:

[Ball Bearing Turbo]

Classic cartoon there psychoman...

Anyhow indeed this thread (or at least the topic) is worthwhile, SEV are pioneers of uncompromising purebred vehicle simulation in so many ways. Before LFS I was waiting for years for something so visceral and primal to come a long, not necessarily something aesthetically amazing (not that its bad in that area either especially since S2). I couldn't care less about DX9 candy and "sound that is unsurpassed at full throttle or zero throttle" compared to the grassroots which are sprouting up before our eyes over the last few years. Not that better sound won't be great when they get to it, especially since it will respond properly to every feather of my leadfoot, but the foundation is being built to be the best and that's what's important. To me, it's already the best and who can imagine what it will be when they start putting the cherries on top.

There I managed to address thread properly!

[JohnPenn]

Ahh yes the Ring and GPL.

The ultimate example of the more you put in the more you get back.

The sense of achievment I got from the learning the "green Hell" as Jackie Stewart called it,is for me still unmatched, after lot's of weeks of practice it starts to reveal itself, then the fun begins.

174 turns in 8.05 ahh.. happy memories:) the ultimate hotlap track:)

Would love to see the ring in LFS , in one way I think It wouldn't catch on in our 5 lap quick race's that are so popular in LFS but who knows??, RA+ Nurburgring sound nice to me:) .

[Hyperactive]

Ok, seriously then (...). I just tried a new combo for me, XRR @ KY2R. I could easily compare this to the 'ring even that the tracks are quite different the racing is pretty similar on both tracks. Passing in hi-speed corners is suicide (and murder). Very very nice track to drive with interesting corners, but very few places to pass. Especially if you're driving an XRR against an FZR ;)

I would really really like to see some "smaller" real tracks in LFS. What I mean small I mean less known, not shorter than 'ring. Don't know about Bathurst but I guess it isn't cheap either. And few even know it. (is it similar in real life what it is in GPL?). There are a lot of good real tracks just waiting for someone to model them in some good racing simulator. GPL tracks like Mexico, Kyalami or Silverstone (it's really not that bad) would fit perfectly in LFS. Imho and without nos, of course :)

[P5YcHoM4N]

Just recently I've fallen lin love with the LX4. I think I've started to get better at threshold breaking, and throttle control, the car rocks.
