Honestly, it's nice to see the propaganda machine at LFS towers working overtime, especially with this new approach - I think theres definately going to be no "over cooking", which the community experienced during pre-S2 Alpha :up:

Bit of a jerk reaction to nKP I sense, but I like it. :D
Not so sure I be the devs secretly can't believe their luck when it comes to the joke that was the nK demo with few users ever getting to the stage of really finding the physics and the stupid decision to have no AIM in the demo and the multiplayer problems all they need to do now is release a patch and not cock it up like nK did.

Given how seamlessly S1 started when I first got licensed over 2 years ago and how well every other patch has gone compared to the doggy poo that is the netKar Pro release, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Oh, by the way......WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

11th April 2006, 21:10
I'm sure that two hours after the patch is released we'll have texture mods for Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli, etc.
And the post on lfs.net specifically states you can still use plain sidewalls if you like.

Considering we haven't seen much from Eric in a long while, there could be quite a lot of little things. The tire sidewalls and new crowds in the stands are two examples. The helmet visor is another. I'm really hoping we'll see some improvements to the car interiors, maybe some improvements to the race suit and gloves, etc.
I think they could milk this for a while. But there have to be less than 20 features if they're doing 1 per day. :)

Cant wait. What a tortures but good that devs dont use those:x :
Skin flayed off of head, face and body
Nipples pulled off
Fried alive in pans
Bound to pillar head down and roasted
Mouth slit back to ears
Crucified upside down
Put in cauldrons of boiling oil
Thrown out of windows upon upward facing spears
Bodies gored through mouths with pikes
Arms cut off
Torturous slow burning e.g., burn soles of feet, then up to ankles, mid-calf, etc. until dead
Bellies burnt until bowels fell out
Women stripped, hung from tree by their hair and scourged
Tourniquet placed on head and twisted until eyes came out
Ears bored out
Tongue cut out
Set down (by pulley) into a fire by degrees
Thrown to dogs
Hung up by the heels and choked with smoke
Smothered in caves on mountains
Hearts pulled out, which the papists gnawed with their teeth.
Some roasted upon spits over a soft fire
Some had their bowels pulled out
A smith had his brains beaten out on his anvil with a hammer
Some had sharp instruments forced under their nails and other body parts
Some racked until their bowels broke out
Some had their throats cut with butcher knives
Knocked on the head with axes
Naked women left hung up by one leg on trees until they died
Some slain and their body parts set on stakes for 30 miles streches
Some had their noses and breasts pulled off with red hot pinchers
Some had their flesh torn with the claws of wild animals
Murdered in a church during sermon
Some hanged by one foot, their hands and breasts in the water
Some hung up by one hand with weights of lead at their heels
Two tied together and slain
Some were torn in pieces by horses
A legion of soldiers cut some to pieces with swords
Some had boots of boiling oil put on their legs over a small fire.
Some hung up on trees by the middle til they died of hunger
Women's bellies ripped up and their children trod underfeetIf you want to read about it http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/anti6.htm

Yeah, on a negative note, it's a shame it's obviously taken the release of nkp to prompt the devs into actually releasing any kind of information, especially a tease like this - otherwise, I can't help but wonder if we'd all still be in the dark as to where the good 'ole LFS is headed.
On the plus side, it has happened so that's that, and I look forward to seeing the steps this product has taken over the past six months to keep it ahead of the new competition. :thumb:

The bars do look a significantly thinner. Compare the two sets against their mountings on the car. Unfortunately it appears the bottom pair is still hanging off the air. Can anyone check for changes to the FXR model? Hmm, does the skin look like it could be more than 1024x768?

Yeah, on a negative note, it's a shame it's obviously taken the release of nkp to prompt the devs into actually releasing any kind of information
i can garantee u , its been delayed not anticipated. in near future , you will understand. :thumb:
there is no link whatsoever to the release of nkp. coincidently it even looks respectful to start the tease only after. nkp release date has been long known. it has a few days to live...

Wondering:
Why are the tire sidewalls textures not as good as nKPro's? I mean if there's one thing that is good in nKp, it's definitely the tire textures. I believe LFS could/should do as good.
Helmet visor sunstrip or new helmet model?
Why aren't there bolts on wheels (still) if there are hoodpins on the GTRs and bolts on the wings of the FO8?

I can't remember the details, but it has something to do with LFS's deformable tire model, being a vector model instead of usual polygon models.
Nick_ll
12th April 2006, 07:40
The details is that the wheels in LFS are generated on the fly (I think using a spline and a cross-segment) instead of modeled , and that it is that way because the tires are generated on the fly.
So what I'm asking for basically is for the wheels to be modeled. You really don't want the wheels to deform, never, so I believe they don't need to be generated on the fly. The tires do, but not the wheels. So basically, the wheels can be modeled, which would probably look better anyways. That way they could look better, have bolts, be textured....and I'm sure there are other benefits.
JJ72
12th April 2006, 07:51
Well then I always wonder about the missing door handles as well, if there's a serious answer to that question I'll say it's a sort of refinement that come quite low in the dev's list of priority.
me wants alpha layer for car skin as well. :)

Yehay :D Looking forward when the tyre company also effects the quality of the tyre :)
Also it's only a small shot, you might think "ok, what do i care? text on my tyres... wayne?"..
BUT, i think if the devs also have been able to implement such small improvements besides the promised physics update, this patch will be a real goodie ;)

I have one question, and please be gentle on me if it has been answered because I did search, but does this "patch" take S2 Alpha up to S2 Beta, or S2 Final?? :shrug: I guess it doesn't really matter.
To be honest, I consider this patch more important to LFS as a whole than what S2 Alpha was to S1. Considering the release of that "other" game (its not refined enough to call it a simulation yet), if this patch takes LFS to the next level that we all expect, then Live For Speed will re-affirm its position as the premiere racing simulation on the market.
Oh yeah......thank you Scawen, Victor, and Eric. :thumb:

To me the name doesn't matter, but the actual quality, features etc. Like it has been with LFS, things are being constantly improved (although the pace might vary).
banshee56
12th April 2006, 13:03
I guess my curiosity comes from the fact that a lot of people made a big deal about S2 being Alpha, even though it felt a lot more polished then an "alpha" tag would suggest. It doesn't really matter as the devs seem to create patches in a timely manner when something doesn't work. To me, the forthcoming update is more of an enhancement of already working features and addition of others, rather than a "patch" to fix real problems that keep the program from working.

Just a note about BETA / ALPHA.
LFS must be called ALPHA while there are blatantly unfinished things. Such as : AI drivers can't pit. F11 and F12 don't work in single player. These have still not been fixed, because there were more important and more interesting things to be done for this patch.
BETA has a clear definition : The software is 100% finished, and is in final testing before release. So... in Beta stage, only very minor changes and bug fixes can be made. Beta is a shorter stage of development, unless the developer seriously underestimated how complete the software was.
So... the next patch is still Alpha, just a better Alpha than you have at the moment, and with some new features and improvements, which I am sure you will like. :)

<-- programming lingo n00b
I think the two main things that everyone wants to see improved is the high-nose bug and the tire physics. According to the last small progress report, Scawen mentioned that the aero bug has been corrected and the tire physics have been improved a lot based on what was posted on www.liveforspeed.net (http://www.liveforspeed.net):
A recent push on tyre physics has resulted in much better tyres which have improved the car handling and driving experience a lot.
If those improvements still leave LFS S2 in ALPHA stage (programming not yet 100%), then we seem to be in store for even more great things!!!
Thanks for the clarification Scawen!

Well i can imagine that if it turns out that after the patch some other physics updates have to be made, then the hotlaps will eventualy surely be resetted once again in the S2 Stage. But i rather welcome a reset of the hotlap times, brings some changes, some sort of new challenge. Like a race, when it's over it's over and you concentrate on the next one.

Plus the devs don't want people downloading the demo, and getting turned off LFS because of bugs that have been fixed in the full version. I'm really looking forward to the low speed handling fixes, I think that will help encourage a lot of first timers to stick to it, as it can get a bit frustrating when the XRT seems to spin on BLGP turn 1, every, single, time.lol.

Shame there is no mention of the undertrays. They were the third big problem with the aero physics in S2.
Aero downforce and drag from the undertray is currently constant (but speed dependent) regardless of the angle of the undertray or the gap beneath it.
I'd rather expected that to be fixed, but maybe they're saving it for another update :).
Hell, even GP2 had undertrays that gave different downforce depending on the ride height.

These new screenies also bring comfirmation that the sunstrip on the helmet is skinnable :D
Hell, the whole helmet is new! The hinge for the visor bends up, and doesn't do that on the current one. and is it me or is the helmet model smoother?
:thumb:
Edit: And did anyone else notice the clipping error on what seems to be a suspension strut visible through the hole between the front wing and the body on the second pic?!
Edit2, see attached for explanations.

This update better than just 'known info'. At least the slipstream has been reduced, and works on the front and rear of the car independantly. :D
Agree with Colcob that undertray revisions would be lovely (if Scawen is up to it - it's worth another day on the release date if it's possible).
Edit: Not sure about the helmet model - the pics are a bit small to make an opinion. Earlier I took an FO8 to the spot on Aston used for the screenshot yesterday and it looked about the same. I'd love a new helmet model (and this is a good time to do it) but those screenshots are inconclusive imo. Perhaps someone with a better eye can deduce?

why those names on the tires... and you can chose from 4 different names = completely useless !!!
i bet they dont change the tire wearing/heating so r3/4 are still useless.....

Yes, "for now". And r3s are usefull in longer races...atleast for me :D
edit. Does someone know in what corner are those FOXs in the first picture?

I'd guess new grip/tyre physics affects that too.
The tyre brands are clearly a step foward tyre manufacturer choices we might get some day.
The helmet 3D model looks much more smoothened, the top is not like /\ anymore. :)

use r3s on the fronts all the time in long races, its usually r3s front r2s back
never used r4s

that is an error what allready was with the first S2 Alpha. Just open the FOX CMX in the viewer and you see the same. The wishbones aren't connected to the car body.

R4's are on the FWD GTR cars, aren't they?
About the tire brand sidewall texture and the talk earlier about future modding of dds for real brands. A suggestion to the community here. Who ever ends up creating textures for certain real brands, it would be good for the community to decide which dds would be which brands. That way, everyone would somewhat see the actual brand other's are using online. Example, if you make Pirelli tire, then the community would agree that the cromo texture would be the Pirelli texture and Bridgestone would be Evostar (or whatever). That way, online, I would use the cromo texture as Pirelli and everyone else would see me as Pirelli as well. Of course, this wouldn't work perfectly if more than 4 tire brands were modded, but an agreement in the community would help.
Can't wait to spin out my FZR and actually be able to get straight again and continue on instead of continuously spinning trying to get straight.
Please don't release the patch on a Friday! I'd have to wait until Monday to get it then. Or, at least make it a true patch that we could download a 5mb file and patch our Q installation (I'm sure this is how it would be anyways).

This is an enlargement of the helmet in the Formula V8 screenie.
The model doesn't look any different to me, i think the helmets only look smoother in the newer shots because of the lighting.

I was looking the same, the top does looks same as the old model.

funny u think nkpro is fab and yet it doesnt even have anything remotely similar to undertray/rideheight effect.
in fact, u can still drive car upside down in nkpro and i didnt saw any complain.

The visor hinge is part of the skin actually, there isn't a hinge in the helmet model. :)

Agree with Colcob that undertray revisions would be lovely (if Scawen is up to it - it's worth another day on the release date if it's possible). Agree too, but I think realisation is very complex (under Braking back-end lift and aero-balance moves forward - and so on).
But I would like to be surprised, in a postive manner.
Maybe, anyone out there now´s more about it ?
Scawen ?? :D
excuse my poor english.

12th April 2006, 17:28
Yes it's much too complicated. It's not a day's work to make the undertray behave correctly. More like weeks to research and code it. I don't even know how long it will be, as I haven't done the research.
For now the undertray is fixed so it doesn't point the aero forwards. But it doesn't change depending on ride height and angle. You are free to set the ride height to give you the best suspension performance.

Here's a question:
In some of the cars (mainly the single-seaters) I've never really had a problem with losing rear-end grip when in the slipstream. It's almost always a push condition--in the final corner of SO Classic, for instance, where it inevitably puts me way wide and into the wall on corner exit.
In the GTR cars I've occasionally gotten loose when in the slipstream (say, in the FXR coming around the last of the S-curves at Kyoto Long), but it's usually at a point where the car's loose already.
Are these aero changes going to make the cars even pushier where they already push, or is it just going to lessen the looseness?

agree with that. ...so all f.ex. Dunlop DDS are on the same LFS brand DDS :thumb:
there will be 4 different DDS files, so wich 4 IRL brands?
I vote for:
Dunlop
Michelin
Bridgestone
Advan/Yokohama
...that is IF the sidewalls ARE DDS files.... :scratchch

Maybe they're testing it so the release isn't like Netkar Pro's. But to give credit to Netkar, Kunos addressed the concerns the same day and promised a patch within a week or two.:thumb:

Thats for the feedback Scawen - much appreciated as always... Can't wait til the day we get something like that implemented, but knowing that you know it's hard and not a quick fix is better than just wishing for it.
