I don't doubt Gregor for a second, so if he says the physics of this sim
is good, then that's good enough for me, whether or not that translates
in to a good product is another matter, I wish I had the time to try all
this stuff but unfortunately time is in short supply and high demand
these days, so I will have to listen to other people's opinions for the
time being

Beers and cheers

No offense taken. :)
I must say they're doing a terrific job. Getting multiplayer to work
nicely is certainly one of the most treacherous terrains (probably),
and they seem to be doing that well (although I only have a PII400
which runs LFS too slowly to be really fun, so I haven't really tried
online).

Racer also started out as more of a 'hm, physics can't be that
difficult, just add all forces and integrate' type of simple try.
Ouch! 6 books and 2,5 years later I stand corrected. :)

I wonder how the LFS guys finance themselves to be able to work
fulltime on the project.
