I briefly played the demo, not expecting much, and I was pleasantly
surprised. Excellent early effort. I will buy it if it continues to develop
as I expect. Good job so far.

Just out of curiosity, what was the best sim in the months before LFS?

IMO, in no particular order:

GPL, MB Truck Racing, Nascar 200*, F1-2002/2001, Rally Masters,
Rally Trophy, Real Car Sim (nissan/toyota versions), F355 (dreamcast)

While not true 'sims', other driving games that I enjoy:

Rally Champ Xtreme, Driver, GTA3

You guys obviously have not tried some of the Nascar Heat mods,
specifically PVH (Porsche Vintage Heat), FF2000 Heat  and Caterham
Heat, all of which are far more realistic (in terms of handling) than
the LFS demo.

However, I too am enthused by the LFS demo and believe it has great
potential and look forward to the full product.

Yes, seems to be down at the moment. I know they have just done some
major re-jigging there. I've emailed Adam the site admin to ask if he
can fix it.

We did spend quite some time on this mod, a) trying to get the most
realistic physics we could and b) producing competitive AI for ALL the
current road course.

Dewo's other mods are more fun releases and no great effort was put
into modelling real-life physics although the Retro Ford Heat isn't
bad.

So you have driven a fantasy car in real life? :)
