Some interesting recent quotes

"Oh and dev team, what do you think about that closed South City part?"

Scawen Wrote:It would be nice to update South City at some point. With my anaglyph glasses on I was looking around the other day, enjoying the sense of scale and, apart from that unfinished road you are talking about, there are various back streets that could be linked up to make a nice open config. I'm sure Eric would enjoy doing that at some point. I think what is more important now is to get a couple of new tracks out that you will need an S3 license to use, because you need more tracks and we could do with the cash!

"Did you actually ask him? Have you been talking about it? Or is it just a guess?"

Scawen Wrote:It's just a guess.

Based on the facts that I know him quite well after all these years, and that he started building that unfinished track out the back of South City, and that he has taken quite an interest recently in the off track areas at Westhill... that's why I feel quite sure that Eric would like to update South City at some point.

But the priority isn't the highest on that at the moment...

"I'm playing lfs for 8 years and layouts are getting really boring due to small autocross place. I guess it's super easy to make autocross like 3 times bigger, just a big square with asphalt, that we can create much bigger and faster layouts! This will also attract new players!"

Scawen Wrote:I know this is often requested and we have a really large autocross area in one of the new tracks that we plan to release with the S3 license. We think it's better to leave that for S3 licensed users. We do want to release some S3 licensed content as soon as possible, though this will take quite some time (several months - "several" not being an actual specified number) after the Westhill update.

"several" = 48 Months?
Scawen What About License of Scirocco and Rockingham?
There is actually some problem?"

Scawen Wrote:No, it is the same story ever since we delayed the Scirocco. The problem is the tyre physics. It was impossible to make the Scirocco handle well with the current tyre physics, if we used realistic suspension settings. So I went on a long mission into tyre physics. That is the only reason we have not released the Scirocco yet, and that reason has not yet changed.

We wanted to release S3 after the new tyre physics (and Scirocco) but now I don't think that is important any more. If we can get some S3 content ready before the tyre physics is finished, then it can be released, even without all the S3 things we would like to release eventually. So we'll see.

Imagine this happening in near future, if/when Eric updates South City:
