I'm really looking forward to the improvment in tire physics. I've
pretty much given up on LFS while waiting for this improvement. Based
on the patch details, it should be much better. The current release
was called alpha and for good reason.
One concern is that as all racing sims improve, what will be the
distinguishing factors for future games. With only a crew of 3
programmers, and based on the current pace, I figure that the final
release of LFS (S3) will happen in 2008 or 2009. Wondering what
the competition will be like by then?
The game is far too good to give up on, IMO, but I've also refrained from
putting any serious effort into it as being competitive automatically meant
using exploits. I have to say I've really got my hopes up for this patch
too.
Non-existant, the way it's looking, since there's no major player doing
racing simulations anymore(*). ;-(

i know things have been slow with lfs development but scawen has just
become a father so he has a valid excuse ! thats the price you pay for a
small development team. Tango
GTR2 is in the works. Maybe Simbin will keep making games.
holy cow.....

And I thought the FO8 was a handfull... eeek!!
I wonder whether we're getting adjustable traction control, engine mapping
and so forth?

Oh my god.... they've fixed LFS!!
I'm known not to mince my words around here, so I'll live up to my
reputation.
As of now LFS is, overall, the best sim..
And the Sauber is a hoot to drive, BTW. <g>

I am so far unimpressed and judging by the lack of activity on the LFS
RSC forum patch T hardly seems to have set the world alight.
Maybe the thing that is missing for me is atmosphere, LFS just feels
like a computer game to me rather than simulating car racing.
One thing I notice is that I have got used to the rfactor, GT Legends,
NetKar pro method of moving the world view around going over bumps etc.
as opposed to the LFS way of keep the view still and moving the car
around. It seems to dumb down the sensation of hurling a stiff car
around a bumpy track and clattering over curbs etc. Whilst your body
acts as a degree of shock absorber you still move with the car so seeing
the outside view stay rock steady makes everything seem too relaxed and
easy.
I have always thought LFS has its own market (my son plays it with his
mates in a not very serious way) but not really the likely choice for
the *** simmers craving a bit more realism. Doesn't make it in my
top three...
Cheers

Isn't this adjustable in the options (how much g forces affect the
driver)?
