He was originally working on the eternal Tyre Physics, but now he switched and decided to work on "Graphic Overhaul". I ask the same "Wtf is this one up to?"

I ain't that far from it either.
I wouldn't EVEN be able to post this and my previous comments on LFS Forums without getting Saltywen triggered, deleting it and banning me, just like he already did with other people saying what was really going on. Since he deleted that comment I posted on the spoiler above, I know he is waiting me to post another comment to see if he can delete it arguing "sarcasm".

I believe the same, except I'd change 3 years for 4-5 years.
If I was Scawen, I'd focus on improving the game, releasing updates with more improvements, new tracks, reworked tracks, reworked cars, new cars, etc etc and leave Tyre Physics for the """end""". He really wants to release Tyre Physics, but at the same time its conflicting with releasing other things, so it ends up being a big mess of what to release, or what to say.

• Take a look at this: https://www.lfs.net/news/894 (https://www.lfs.net/rockingham for screenshots)
I don't own S3, so could someone with S3 confirm if there is any major changes compared to these 2009 screenshots?. Seems the "high" standard isn't that new on LFS...
Reworked Tracks are almost done, if not completed, waiting for the Head(less) to give the "ok" to release. Same for the new tracks.

• From all these years, all I can see is just a messed up, unorganized and fail-filled update roadmap. Scawen doesn't know what path to take LFS into, and its just circling around the same circle infinitely, letting it die.

This.
If Scawen is so sensible about criticism, then why release the game to the public?

• Can someone tell why the three devs are arses and so selfish about showing pictures of WIP tracks/cars? The "stealing" and "It's WIP" excuses they put are really stupid.
Hell, even they really cba on even posting News Reports if its not about a new update released. Sad

• Will Graphic Overhaul take another 10 years too?. Will Mod Support also take another 20 years?

I'd say its Santa stumbling with rocks every 2 meters, and he hasn't even exited the North Pole.

• As Getrag said, I'm surprised to see full servers even if the game is not being updated.


Hell, only thing that keeps me going back to LFS are the physics themselves, how cars feel and drive, the layout editor, and now replicating IRL liveries into LFS cars as a time-killer. I tried to stay away but I always came back to play it.
