Dear LFS Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new version of Live for Speed with many updates and improvements. The new tyre physics model is still in development, so this version uses the old tyres but with an improved collision system, open track configurations, free view mode, and much more. It provides some interesting new features for LFS racers, while we continue our development. Thanks to our forum members for testing over the last eight weeks!

Some new things in 0.6B :

- New free view mode and layout editor - not bounded by the path
- Improved collisions with objects, barriers, cars, pit garage exit
- Open track configurations allowing you to drive anywhere
- You can now place up to 800 objects to create circuits
- Blue flags, qualifying, race positions list are supported
- New objects added - all objects available at all tracks
- Collision detection and reporting system (via InSim)
- Graphical optimisations improving frame rates
- Adjustable tyre warmers for hot lapping
- Many other fixes and improvements

Will try out the game later! i see things iv wanted for a long time!

Discovered one problem! Last update i did not have to unlock the game. This update i had to unlock the game to get S2 back and now i have 1 unlock left :\ so next update will be my last ever time to play LFS? ...

Cheers for the heads up Dude. :cool:

Sweet, Nice quick download & unlocked as well. I'll be on this later but for now it's out on me bike.

I can tell the physics have been tampered with ever so slightly! FMW on blackwood, my best time was a 1:13.60, average probably 13.90s. Can just do a 1:14.50!!! could be the Tyre warmers not being set right or the kerb collisions being better and effecting me. I do jump the chiciane quite a in the first sector

another test, i went into a server with open track configuration. You had BMW f1 cars trying to beat the uf1000s around the rally cross circuit, very close battles! i dont like cruise mod but the open circuits actually make it very entertaining.

I had a quick go, Couldn't resist once I had dug my Momo out, Feels good & definitely good enough for racing. I've got to learn the tracks again though as it's been ages since I played.

Player name is [TSR]Wolf, Name left over from Years ago when I raced in a team, Shout me if you see me. :cool:

I haven't touched LFS for quite a while - downloaded this last night - and to my dismay I find the steering horribly over-sensitive near the centre. How do I adjust dead zones and response curves for LFS? The in game setting for steering seem to do nothing to help.

I had to hit the remove deadzone option & it felt fine after that.

Fantastic - that was it - thank you very much!

4T5, what server do you play on? or has it been so long the servers gone ?

BTW Marc from the FAQ --

Answer to: How often can I unlock?:
Initially you will be granted 3 unlocks. In addition, you get an additional unlock available every friday, provided you do not already have 2 unlocks available. So unless you are having severe problems with your computer, you should be fine and always able to unlock LFS again after a reinstallation of Windows for example, or when you buy new computer parts or a whole new computer.

I'm not near my main rig atm, has anyone tried cruise servers since the patch? Is it better?

I wish they would make an open city map.

some cruise servers are still the old style, rubbish. There will be 1 or 2 servers out there doing the new style. I think the admins are to lazy to try it out or to make the courses.
Yes it is A LOT better. When they haven't put barriers etc in middle of the track and that. Filling the roads up with barriers, cones etc just spoils it.
If you dont know how to try it single player, hold ctrl, select the track then click x on any of them. Make sure you have 0 laps or practice session
