Looks fairly decent, emphasis seems to be on physics.

100s of add-on cars been done.

Nurburgring Nordschleife available.

I'm going to download it when BT's ridiculous rate adaptive service releases me from this 192kbps hell in 3 days.

it's only 29mb, why not download it?

Interesting. Noticed you can export your logs to matlab too.

Looks very good! Downloading now, should pass some time before xmas

Gosh - I used to play this........Lots of bits out there for it - but at the time it was terribly buggy, innaccurate and un-fun.

Downloading. My connection is being awfully slow.

Either I really suck at driving sims or this game is just trash. Can't get the Lambo anywhere near a decent speed on the default track...

No wonder it's free, it's rubbish!

I gave up when the first car I downloaded had a worm in the RAR file.

Nice, thanks

Should be able to produce some interesting graphs.

When I download it it'll be interesting to see if it's as good as the sort of free LFS.

this is rubbish, the steering is a joke, full lock or nothing. Car undrivable. £25 for LFS is money well spent

nicRob · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:27

*£24

and agreed, money very well spent

(£24 spent on LFS, and been playing it in various guises for over 5 years now

I don't get it - I played LFS and thought it was bloody awful. Forza Motorsport on the Xbox for me.

Likewise - what an ugly looking, pants sounding simulator.

LFS is brilliant, not played it in ages but I used to drive on redline racing BF1/FOX for hours every day, consistantly in the 1.08's with mouse/kb control. Could never manage to shave off enough time to run a 1.07, eventually gave up. Maybe i'd be able to do it with a good wheel setup, who knows.

Used to be a Redline regular as well mate

, though with a wheel rather than keys. Haven't logged in for months, however will be back on when my new G25 gets unwrapped on Tuesday. Hope EVO remembers me. It's handy when the owner of the server trusts your judgement. Gets rid of useless drivers quicker.

Clarkey · 24 Dec 2007 at 00:36

I remember EVO, and patrese. What was your alias on there, Memphis? Can't say it really rings any bells.
