Worth every penny, practically everyone will tell you that here :) The value of LFS is great, and you aren't just stuck with one product and just patches to fix things. Patches always come FREE for the version you have, and either for fixes, and/or they add some new features. It is quite nice.

So if you bought S2, you would have access to all the patches released. Even if say... S3 comes out, you will be able to use the patches for S2 still, because each patch is universal for the entire game. The version (Demo, S1, S2) just depends on what version you have that gives you a certain amount of unlocked content. It is hard to understand, but in all, you will have patches for a lifetime in a sense :)

The S2 license in AUD = 56.5968 (just a straight conversion with current rate) As for how they bought, well, you'll have to wait until they reply :)

[Kajojek(PL)]

I can answer only one of your question about the updates. When there is a update you dont have to buy a new license you just keep this one.

[B2B@300]

Yep it is worth it and exceptional value :thumb:

If you like what U see so far, it is worth every penny:thumb:

Good choice.

By the way, soon you can say goodbye to your social life because of LFS. ;)

[Gunn]

When S2 licensed you'll pull more chicks but you won't have any spare time to see them. No pain, no gain.

[axus]

LFS S2 License? Worth it? YES! GET IT NOW! NOW NOW NOW! IMMEDIATELY! :D

[maniax]

for me the FOX is worth the upgrade to S2 by itself. i love the car very tricky to get right but when you do hook it up it feels great.

im seriously thinking of getting a force feedback wheel and relearning the game with that... :thumb:

[tinvek]

i started playing demo around xmas time and bought s2 in febuary

worth every penny / cent / whatever just for the option of racing on servers with a reasonable standard of behaviour

you can still go on demo servers if you want and i've actually found that i dont get so upset by idiots on demo servers just because i know i can leave them behind and go on s2 servers.

buy it, loose all your social life, sleep etc :)

[Hankstar]

Once you start oval-racing with a full field of UF1000s, you won't have any second thoughts :D

[Hallen]

I regret the hell out of buying it.

Because Now I Have No Life.
I race until my hands bleed! :tilt:
This has been the most entertainment I have ever had for the money!

[Scottie]

Oh, if your from australia, there's a cool little community down here where everyone knows everyone and it's sorta our own little world :p

(nothing bad about this place, but we dont prefer racing in our sleep :p )

head on down to:

I'm sure somebody could help you out with getting S2 also! You wouldn't be the first!

Maybe try some demo racing, for few day (or months:D )?

If demo likes U Im shure that S2 will too.

[shi shi bog]

well after reading you guys have convinced me to get it but im currently upgrading a few parts so ill get it after that.......now i just have to ask someone to get it for me ;)

ps sorry for the late post ive been at my cousins house

[Becky Rose]

hey i just wanna know if the s2 license is really worth it??
I bought LFS a week ago and compared to cinema or renting out a DVD, it's given me way more entertainment for the money spent.

What I would say though is S2 is all about being competetive, and the biggest stride I have made in performance has come from upgrading my computer.

A faster computer meant I could control wheelspin at the start.

Connecting via ethernet instead of wireless meant I got less lag and could avoid accidents in turn 1.

Not getting lag and having a steady 70fps capped framerate shaved 4 seconds off my lap times (BL GP - FOX) instantly.

If I had stayed with my old entry level PC I would probaby have been happy with my purchase, but now that i'm actually able to be competetive it is a lot more fun. I'm still a few seconds off the best guys atm, but i'm fast enough to be in the same race now - and it's a lot more fun.

[shi shi bog]

thank you to everyone for giving your advice and opinions, i have decided im going to get the license for sure and hopefuly soon so might see me online hahahahaha

thanks again

sorry to bring up my old thread but i just wanted to let you guys know ill be getting computer parts tomorrow so hopefully ill be getting my s2 license aswell...yay...im excited

[Rtsbasic]

If I'm perfectly honest with you, I regretted buying S1, and even more so S2. Now whenever I boot the computer up I only play LFS, and my even my PS2 gathers dust thanks to LFS. I find it a lot harder to have fun in offline racing, no matter how good the AI.

Damn you Live For Speed!

[mr_x]

sorry to bring up my old thread but i just wanted to let you guys know ill be getting computer parts tomorrow so hopefully ill be getting my s2 license aswell...yay...im excited

:thumb: hope to see you racing soon!

definately the best £24 i have spent... although ive barely played it in the last few weeks :hidesbehi

college work is to blame i swear :tilt: big external assessed project to be handed in next week... should be back on LFS after its done:D

[mr_x]

I just can't believe how long it takes to get competitive at this game. For me, anyway. I'm still gradually improving after nearly a year, but there are still a few circuits that I've barely driven at all, not to mention reverse configs, and cars that I haven't done a single proper lap in.

same here, only car i am competitive in is the UF1000, it is the only one i drive usually which might have something to do with it... if I'm in the mood i can drive the FXR fairly quick aswell... other than that im hopeless at the rest of them...ive also barely done a lap on Westhill, that circuit is a bit dull!:smileypul

[Becky Rose]

Be warned, you'll get free updates for the S2 license - but when S3 comes out it'll be about as useful as an S1 license is now... Which is, er, well, um - imagine owning a Spectrum computer from the 1980's and trying to get a game for it today...

Having said that computer games do represent excellent value for money, time invested versus cost compared to other forms of entertainment is good.

Add to that LFS is cheaper than most games, and yet has a higher replay value because of the online aspect.

also remember its only Alpha right now.. and it will not cost anymore when the finished S2 is released. this also means that it will be a long while yet before we see S3, meaning more time for S2:thumb:

Sorry for being OT, but: Kev, your Avatar rules :D

Yes this game is definatly worth every cent

im quoting alot of people on alot of forums today.... its college that does it im telling you!!:schwitz:

[Thorvertonian]

You will regret buying the S2 lisence.....

Don't flame me just yet....

After you buy the lisence, you will spend every spare minute you have playing this game, you will cease to have a social life!!!!!



If you enjoy racing games, this is the game to get!

[Dan Hot]

My mate calls LFS "the thief of time". :)

[mr_x]

Either that or I've shamed him into STFU mode :thumb:

that WOULD be a first... surely?:smileypul

[zeugnimod]

Admit it, you started 2 laps before everybody else there. :p :D

[shi shi bog]

i got my computer parts today, my brother is installing everything and im happy with what i got but sadly ive no money to get my s2 license because i bought a memory card for my phone, although i should be getting the license next week.

S2 pwns, simple as it is.

[Hatemaker]

I've been playing since before I even joined up on the forums/site, back when S1 was still a demo. I tell you what, it's the best thing I've spent money on... except it pretty much ruins my social life. After I got a good internet connection a little while back, I've started playing online. Now all I do now is play LFS... and go to work/school :x :thumb:

[nutty boy]

I bought S2 today and despite the confusion of trying to unlock it, i have to say, it's absolutely fantastic. Worth the £12 I paid for it.

Glad to hear that. Welcome to lfs and kiss good bye to your social life :D :tilt:

In most cases the initial fascination will be over in few months, often even faster. After that a licensed player spends about 20 minutes in day (on average, some more, some less) playing lfs, assuming half of the time is offline. Of couse the number increases substantially after patches or new versions are released.

nah, real junkies spend a lot more time..... :x

[afastest]

I am talking average licensed players, not real junkies. Look at how many people are on-line, and the number of licensed players is between 20,000 and 30,000, probably around 25.000.

[_rod_]

I used to spent hours playing lfs, but now i have to work college and a mean girlfriend who doesnt like lfs :shrug:.
Well we have almost the same amount of people playing online as in the 1st days of s2, but as if we really have 25k linceses (can any1 confirm that?) the amount of online users is very low, less than 1/25th of the users is online at the same time, but them again since we have people all over the world, that sort of gets in the way for everyone to be online at the same time. :scratchch

[racemania]

sorry havent been around for a while just been really busy :(
i am going to buy s2 when i can get the funds together thanks all who have helped with the questions:D im verry excited about getting s2 hopfully in the next week or two any help with how much it cost in aus i heard $55 but not sure
:thumb:
thanks racemania

[poirqc]

Well, if you don't have S1, you'll need to buy both stage. It's 24 pounds. www.xe.com for a conversion in your local currencie.

edit - It's actually 58 AUD! ;) And i tough our CAD was lousy(before the current spike)...

Don't let the "high" price put you down. If you like racing game, you won't be dissappointed.

[racemania]

sorry one more question how many times can you use the s2 licence (if i reformat my pc will i have to buy again or just use the same code as before plus im changing my internet provider next month so will that come into affect aswell or dose it not matter)
sorry im just new to the online gaming world and i just cant get enough of it atm im playing the demo for 3-4 hrs a day if not more but have started to limit my use to 5-6 days of the week
this is because i seem to get too involved with the game and its addictive like cigs once you have had it once you will never turn back
and btw i love this game i got tocca race driver 3 given to me as a present and i think i have played it 3 times since i got it with #2 you couldnt get me off the xbox from the time i woke up to the time i slept so this must be a great game for me to keep playing

thanks racemania demo drifter lol

[tristancliffe]

Yup, you can unlock as many times as you like BUT!

LFS gives you 3 unlocks. You use one to first unlock the game. After that, if you use any more you recieve one new one per month. So the maximum you can have (other than when you first buy) is two. If you have none you have to wait til the end of the month, so choose when you reinstall with care.

However, in the result that you use up all your unlocks then suffer a system problem (say, a hard drive crash), Victor might give you an extra unlock if he believes your story, and you're really nice etc, but the best bet is never ask him if you can help it.

[Dcon]

I bought S2 through pay pal should be playing by April 4th!

[nutty boy]

It's a good game and worth the wait. Hope you enjoy it.

[PLAYLIFE]

How is that the best bet ? :scratchch

[tristancliffe]

So that you don't have to risk being turned down, or raise suspision that you might be 'passing on' unlocks to people.

[PLAYLIFE]

In case you really "you use up all your unlocks then suffer a system problem (say, a hard drive crash)" the best bet is not to "never ask him [Victor] if you can help it"

In that case you are not going to be able to race. I don't see that as the best bet. I mean best bet for what? Best bet for watching TV?

I think that if u really have serious problems and have used up all your unlocks then the best bet (and I am assuming here that the person wants to play LFS) is to ask Victor and like you said "he might give it". He might tell you to wait, but asking is your "best bet" I would say...

[NotAnIllusion]

Asking is the best bet, if you have a legitimate reason e.g. a league race or another competition. If you want it unlocked so you can have the occasional messing about session on your custom auto-x track it sort of begs the question are you really so desperate to get it unlocked for that instead of waiting a bit, or is it your mate getting anxious not getting the unlock code you promised for him last week?

I think the bottom line is that Victor shouldn't be your immediate solution to unlocks, and certainly if you use up all the unlocks frequently. It just makes you look bad. In my opinion.

[jtr99]

Once you start oval-racing with a full field of UF1000s, you won't have any second thoughts :D

so if i like have 2 pc's with lfs on both i can use the codes for them or is it just for one computer and i dont understand how can a mate use an unlock code of mine if its registerd to me sorry i just dont seem to understand

[nutty boy]

I don't really understand how you can pass on unlocks either?

How can you be serious about this :pillepall

[Lible]

There are 3 ways as far as I remember -
1. Renku won his license from LFSNews, that was somekind of random winner
2. echk arranged a Demo cup, where the winner won S2 license (That wasn't actually free one, you had to pay about 1,3 pounds) - That was Estonianonly
3. Your friend/dad bought it to you or bought it to you for christmas or birthday.

Has anyone else arranged things like echk's demo cup?

Like you can see Estonians have got 2 licenses for almost free!
