BF1 The Story

[BrandonAGr]

So now that the cat is out of the bag will the dev's tell us how exactly they went about making this possible? Or are there still more things they want to keep secret until the patch is released?

BTW, awesome job devs, I can't wait to drive it!

[Matrixi]

I'd also love to hear the whole story behind the whole BMW / F1 thing.. how in the earth did they pull the whole thing off. I'm happy none-the-less. :)

I cant remember where I read it, and i've no idea if it's true - maybe just a rumour, maybe based on truth and now has been chinese wispered, but the tale I read somewhere was...

BMW are opening a theme park thingamy and wanted a simulator where you could drive an F1, they looked around for a suiteable simulator that they could impose themselves on.

Meenwhile Scawen said, "yo dudez, impose on me yall 'blud. I wonna slap dat bitch inta mah game".

And then they where pronounced husband and wife.

It would be cool to see Live For Speed's logo on an F1 car for real. I mean, wow.

:) (Huge Grin) It's a great game, more people should know about it, but they don't it's quite a shame.

[DeadWolfBones]

What's with people saying "Scavier"?

[tristancliffe]

SCAwen VIctor ERic ;)

[STROBE]

What's with people saying "Scavier"?
ScawenVictorEric - it appears as a sponsor in the LFS universe.

(Bah. :p)

[Renku]

What's with people saying "Scavier"?
Scawen+Victor+Eric
and not only the community uses Scavier, e.g. Scavier is written on the XFR that is on the front page of http://www.liveforspeed.net/

LOL!:D classic! :D:thumb:

SCAwen VIctor ERic ;)

Aha, makes sense.

I knew it was one of the fictional sponsors, didn't know about the name connection. Cool.

ahhhhhhhhh lol just noticed where it says "Several fixes and improvements"

SEVERAL

LOL

The word several should NOT be used in an exciting headline! :razz:

Back on topic though! I too am very interested as to how this all happend, and what the terms are etc!

[Theafro]

I'm busy sorting out a nice clean install to patch, getting a skin ready, and trying not to think too much about it.

I still can't belive BMW have got involved, with friends like those the possibilities are endless. (I can't help thinking the N word)

[B11TME]

Mebe we might be able to get licensed cars now that there is a big name involved. How about the BMW M3, M5, M6 and mebe a Z4 or somthing....With this name under them i cant see why other big names would not want to get involved. One thing is certain tho lfs is really growing and i think it will just keep growing.

[Hyperactive]

At least it could be slightly easier to get some real life tracks to LFS. I can't think of an track owner who could resist to put a PC on the side of his track and let customers to drive an F1 (ooh!) car on that peculiar track ;)

One track comes to my mind...

[DR3W]

Ya this is realy kool, maybe they well pull of some more kicka$$ cars and car brands!
Im sure they well tell us the hole story in 3 days! :D

The N word ... Naughty (no), Natural (nope), Nitrous (oh my!) ... Oh my, wash your mouth.

Maybe he need to listen to less rap music.

Not to downplay anything... but that headline is from the last patch :tilt:

That might not be very far from the truth... http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s491/st94118.htm

That piece of news only has the same mentioning "in the driving simulator, it's you against the clock" than in the BMW-Sauber F1 team website.

But goddamn, the devs are really smart bastards. I hope they don't keep secret this story about this whole thing forever. :D

One track comes to my mind...
Nords...? It's not possible to have a thread in the LFS forum without mentioning one certain track... LOL :D

Yeah I know it says for the language patch. That wasn't the point, I just never realised it said "several". Dunno it just tickled me. :tilt:

yeah I also have a track on my mind, unfortunatly it's not driven this year. I don't mean the Nordschleife (although it would also be great) but I think of Spa Francorchamps.

[v4forlife]

hmmm, in the nurburgring museum, there is a z4 that is hooked up to a game system, playing some random touring car game. the pedals work(bar clutch, its auto) as does the wheel, maybe they will change it for lfs at some point...will make more of a reason to go out to the ring even more times in a year.

That looks like some Gran Turismo?

[Madman_CZ]

[inCogNito]

[Moonclaw]

Vykos performed "The Dance" and as a result the company heads were powerless to resist.
