Really realistic demo - have to try this

time. "Live for Speed" is its name.
Great physics, and online play. 2 tracks (road and rallycross), and 3 cars.

Holy crap, this is great!! Any more info about this? Is it a pet
project like Ruud's Racer, or is this a demo of a to-be-released sim?
Anyway, this demo is a must-download!

that I can't get it to work with my MOMO, no buttons appear on the axis
assignment screen for accelerate/brake, all other functions appear to work
well enough....I can start a race and slowly roll down the hill towards the
first turn, and turn in, but not much more from there :o( Sure seems like
a fun time, any ideas?

WHS, I've only had enough time to get in a couple of laps before I
disappear into work, but my first reaction is very favourable indeed.

Yup, and I read somewhere that someone had to unplug all his other
gaming devices to get the momo recognized in LFS.

You cant map any axis to accel/brak. They are default.

based on an a deduction, based on an implication.
On the support page of the web site, having to set a controller to single
axis is listed under "Known Problems". Being a known problem implies that
there will be a resolution to that problem in future.

I am not able to change to combined axis but it does splits gas and brake on
the
throttle. Half way down to full swing is gas. Let off more than half way
for brake :-O

Tim, sorry if this sounds daft, but where did you find the support page? All
I see is the front page with the 3 screenshots and the download link. The
only other link on the download page is an e-mail link for support.
Perhaps the link on the West Racing Forum lifts the front page out of it's
frameset? Do you have a link which features more choices?
Thanks.

Works ok in combined mode, though. LFS did screw up the engine sound in
NR2002 though; had to reboot to get it back. Weird, as the other NR2002
sounds worked, just not the engine. It also wouldn't let my computer go
into suspend mode after leaving it idle, saying a device driver was in use
that would not allow it. Ahaaa.... Bit of bug-fixing for them to do still,
I'd say.
Nice little surprise, still.

very favorbably to real life.
GPL...luuuve it but far too slippery, and i mean in comparison to real
life it's probably too slippery...not just my taste here.
N2002..luuuve it too...but still...somehow it doesn't feel completely
convincing..apart from drafting weirdness and other know quirks.
This demo thingie...oversteer..understeer..it all feels rather
excellent..predictable...
Apart from the real life seat of the pants feeling which is impossible
in any sim anyways this does feel a *lot* like the car i drive in real
life...just a tad too static maybe..but freaking close..
And apart from the physics...the cars actually look like they're on

No rush Ruud. No indication of how long those guys took to produce this,
plus rumour has it these are professional game coders. No need to pressure
yourself in comparison.

Don't know... but it was bound to happen. If mainstream software houses and
publishers don't give people what they want some of them will take matters
in their own hands. Like you have.

Not just you. This is good, IMO, very good.
Should it grow to encompass many roadgoing cars, some "real life" circuits
(and allow for 3rd party creation of such) and "more than 8" multiplayers we
have got a GPL beater on our hands. All it needs is split axis support and a
bit of code optimalisation (then again... I got it maxed out in 1024x768,
maybe I should drop some detail instead <g>) and we're set, basically.

But i have to say that the multi races i've done sofar..with 6 in one
game are super steady..no warp..no lag..no very violent collisions due
to lag...you can actually bump into someone gently without the fear of
causing the 'collision explosion' ala GPL and N2002, which is a big
releave...drives much more relaxed.
Had a few great side by side races sofar...gently bumping each other
but it all went peachy...
The split axis as you say has to be implemented..and it would indeed
be great to have some real life circuits and 3rd party openness...
But apart from that ( no clue as to how they see the product
themselves...half finished...allmost finished...and if they are
planning to improve the physics even more gggg )..i already think this
is a total GPL killer...nothing on my HD comes close to this...
and i fear from now on i will not play anything else:)))

Aye... let's not forget to point out superb AI. Apart from a few spots where
they'll run you off the road regardless, it's very impressive IMO.

Thanks Jan. :)
Well, in any case I've got a crossplatform game. Works nicely on my
Mac by now (sound+wheel working, fullscreen coming up). And anyway,
it's getting better all the time, which is fun in itself.
And indeed, they're doing it professionally. Don't know whether they
split from that Black & White studio to do this fulltime, but it sure
looks like it.

It's that money thing; where can you get the most money. Although I
love the Papyrus engine, I never really played any of the Nascar games
for more than a day; I just don't like Nascar that much. :)

Looks like I am going to have to take your word for it, as this was
totally unplayable on my system. I get about 1FPS not only in game but
also in the menus (this is not the first time I have had this happen
tho, E-racer was the same).
I hope this works better for me when it comes out, it looks V pretty.

If they can save themselves a few licensing headaches (I've always thought
track and brand owners should pay sim makers for the publicity, not the
other way round!) then I'll drive fictional tracks forever. Tarmac's just
tarmac, I don't really care what shape it comes in as long as the
simulation feels right.. and this does :o)

PS Nice to be able to get genuinely surprised and excited over a sim for
the first time in... faaaaaaaar too long.

I fully agree. The cross-platform support is what makes racer
great IMO: the source is there for everyone to tweak at, peak
at and play with.
With fullscreen opengl on the MAC coming, how difficult would
it be to port that functionality over to linux?

I may limit source-code viewing though in future versions (even with a
CVS server available). Just half a plan is to release 0.5.0 under GPL,
then close down the source except for people to create special
versions, like you do with DRI, and for people interested in browsing
the source with a non-commercial interest.
That doesn't mean that the Racer exes won't be free, to be ahead of
the reasoning in most people's heads. :) That's the power behind the
community, I think.
>With fullscreen opengl on the MAC coming, how difficult would

It's totally different. ;-)
On the Mac, you can set an AGL (or CGL) flag: AGL_SET_FULLSCREEN or
something. That's mostly it (well, except for dimensions and
frequency). The Linux route was quite a bit more intricate (depending
on some X11 extension, XF86<something>).
If anybody has some clearcut fullscreen example on Linux, then step
forward. ;-)
I hope also that Linux resets the resolution in case the app crashes;
Mac and Windows(2000) do this, but I'm not sure about Linux.

Depends. If you have the serial version you are out of luck. Stupid
