About the poll though, in reality it's not a very straightforward thing. The fact is that Live For Speed has badly outdated graphics. HOWEVER, I don't want the devs to change them. Sufficiently low graphics mean that the game is accessible even on older/budget computers..

What I would love is if the devs could just embrace the modding community (they should, we have given LFS life support for so many years already) and optimize the engine for higher resolution textures and additional shaders without actually adding them to the game. Then the artists can keep producing better and more high quality content to keep the game up to date... Of course, I wouldn't mind if the devs released a high res addon pack but usually the user-made content ends up being better anyway...

Yeah I agree.

One of the trickiest things about modding LFS is the fact that it's a DX8 game. Both FXAA Injector/SweetFX and ENBSeries are made for DX9+, so convertors are required to make it work, which causes lack of features and bugs. It's quite rare seeing a game with such outdated graphics still being played by a significant amout of people.

But the point of tools like these are to make the game look like you want and with enough tweaking you can make LFS look like a decent looking new game. But getting to that level would of course require many many hours of work.
