It's nothing but insane how a game that came out in 2002 is still receiving updates in 2023. Thank you and the team for your dedication into continuing to make this game one of the best driving sims even 20 years later.
@@viliamvacula8111 People just don't remember what games looked like 20 years ago I think. Look at the oldest LFS video on youtube, LFS came out 3 years before that.. The lighting and textures were really bad compared to what they are now. The game doesn't look like a 2023 title, but also definitely looks better than a 2002 title.
It took them years to add headlights tho, like it is not ideal.I don't even how they survived tho because they don't have a subscription system or anything. maybe license sales were enough EDIT: maybe this game is a front for a drug empire.
@@beeleaveme Hell yeah, drifting was great in LFS. Shame they didn't allow mods back then, and banned people for using them, that's basically what killed the game for me - lack of a properly powerful FR car to drift
Every time I see LFS, a sense of nostalgia takes over me. I played it like crazy around 20 years ago day and night, and I'm happy to see that the game still lives on. Currently, I'm playing Assetto Corsa Competizione, but I still consider LFS to be one of the best simulations ever! !!!
I have over 400.000 miles driven in LFS over the years on multiple accounts. My favorite being the LTC and LC Cruise servers back in the day.. I have sadly moved over to other titles in the later years but LFS is what got me into simracing and its still the game I have enjoyed the most out of all the racing titles /sims I own. LFS holds a special place in my heart and always will, love from Norway,
"but LFS is what got me into simracing and its still the game I have enjoyed the most out of all the racing titles /sims I own. LFS holds a special place in my heart and always will" Me to! :)
I just love LFS. It is one of the most authentic immersive racing experiences without excessive bells and whistles. And because it is so easy on the specs, you can install it onto anything.
I tried the AI, tested old versions vs new version and the change is massive. Set a grid in reverse order to power. The AI controlling old versions will collide between them all times, on this version the powerful cars overtake with no prob
Very refreshing video! I'm really happy that you included the PZG Compact! Even though I still haven't uploaded the updated version for 0.7E. Yesterday I got myself thinking how much LFS has changed. Today we are taking the mods system for granted, but few years ago it was just a dream. Hope everything goes well with the development in 2024, so we can see Live for Speed continue improving and evolving. ❤
remember playing this as a kid, modding cars, using tweaker to increase car power and change wheel sizes Had a lot of fun just with AI races, custom setups and increased engine power Great to see that game is still alive :D
This is the game who got me in cars, started with LFS on keyboard when I was 10nish years old, now I'm 23 and I got full sim rig and love going sideways, transformed the skill from the simulators to the real life as well, and it works folks.. It's so nostalgic to look at LFS.
They Have To Upgrade They're Game Engine Graphics Pipeline For Advance Shader etc Since The Lights Sun Is Baked Lightmaps (Fake Lights = More FPS+) I Guess They Want To Target All Hardware Specs Even On Intel Core 2 Duo From 2007 With Intel G41 iGPU Can Run This Game
Love to see that this sim is still receiving new updates! One cool feature could be to have night mode, this way the cool new lights can shine. Seasons and conditions (rain, fog) could be a cool feature as well
Wow, a blast from the past. I remember spending hours drifting and racing in my dorm room playing this. It's been almost 20 years. I remember practicing autocross in custom built tracks between real life autocross races. Some great memories!
oh god does this game still work? it was a defining car game of my childhood, how much time we spent playing with friends, one of the best small car games :) I hope you'll be around for a long time, I wish the developers good luck :)
Man, remember playing it something about 2003. Mouse steering was a thing, many years after got my first wheel, only spring driven, without ffb. Then got T150 (Playseat challenge), build alu profile rig, jumped to T300 (both t3pa, added brake LC, DIY BMW M6 GT3 rim) and finally upgraded to CSL DD with Maclaren rim and CSL elite pedals v2. But LFS was the first game that got me into steering without keyboard, took my attention for steer input. Glad to see LFS is still alive and keep on going.
Still alive and kicking ;) I played it with my dad using my first wheel: Microsoft Sidewinder FF - it was the first time I felt immersion improving times by fractions of seconds. I was hooked.
I have gone from a small boi pirating the full game to play it offline with all the cars vs. AI in 2003-2004 to now having this video in my recommendations and thinking I just should give them money (by purchasing the full S3) for their perseverance and all the fun times had online with the free version. MANY, MANY fun times. When bois in my class discovered it back in the early '00s, we played it even in the computer lab.
PLayed it at home but also on motion simulation platform and multi display surround... best simualtor ever... with damage and so good force feedback... the biggest display the more joy. it will be nice to revisit it with 4K, steeering wheel and so on....dust off all the peripherals and prepare the PC... Thank you.
@@MartinKapal well, technically it is in beta because, the version is 0.7, which indicates that the product is not finished yet. But even though there are some existing standards (see Semver for more info), the real meaning of version number is always up to the developer.
If I wasn't playing cod2, I was playing this with my clan. This looks great compared to the 03-04 version I remember. The physics were either amazing or insanely hilarious back then.
I'm so happy this game is still alive. Once I get my own place to live (I currently have no room for my wheel setup) I'm getting back into dumping hours into this game. It's been far too long.
Great to see this sim still getting updates. Though I haven't touched in a while after moving on to more modern sims, everytime I do revisit it, I'm blown away by how well it holds up. It's a very immersive and realistic sim even for today's standards.
This isn't going to go anywhere, but... why don't you work on bringing in new people? There's practically no one... an automatic racing system or something, some offer or cost reduction to attract new people. I no longer play LFS; it's a nice simulator but lacks races, only events... I want to race when I have time, not just in events. Regards.
i completely agree! a match making system like iracing or acc could largely benefit LFS as a whole, rn if u dont have time for events all you can do is race against friends (if u have em) or ai, and if the ai isnt ur jam ur stuck doing time attacks and going cruise servers
@@moon_wingoagreed, a track editor or importer would be nice, id especially enjoy tracks like spa, monaco or interlagos, but ion see it happening in a while
there was something that you want ;) it was called CTRA servers ;) and licences there. But for years almos all talented racers left LFS and majority of community are now driffters and cruisers...
Ah, this hits me hard in the chest. Was it20 years ago, really? I'm just so happy to see this game still in development. I've learnt so much from it, and it's still one of the best sim I think. You guys made me save up for a wheel, back then I've only used my garbage joystick for driving games, but I had to use heel and toe with this game to be competetive! Ahh, the memories :)
I remember clearly that when I was a child, I used to refer to this game as a bad game because I didn't know that not all racing games can be played well with a keyboard. I can't wait to try it again with the steering wheel
Thank you for continuing to improve this amazing sim! I’ve played off and on since the early days, but really became dedicated about two years ago. I really appreciate the support and work towards improving the modding community. It’s revolutionized the game in recent years in my opinion!
Played this since the start, so cool to see they are still improving this game. Bought a little NUC which probably also will run this easily so can't wait to try it out and race together with my son.
I think this is great, it may not seem like much but these small details are crucial to sim racing experience and it is great to see these things finally improve. Thank you so much to the deva who for 2 decades are still improving this amazing sim 😊
I first got this sim a few years ago as the demo was free and I could drive for as long as I wanted, now with an S3 license I have so much fun with the game and the community that is older than me lol still an amazing time and can't wait to see what comes in 2024!
Lemme see... bought S1 license in 2003 and S2 license in 2005 - but haven`t played it in the last ~15 years? Time to install it again and add a S3 license!
Is this alive again? Could be interesting with new tracks, cars and features. It was a great sim back in the days! Great online experience - maybe the best!
So nice update, I like the new features! There will be an update for more rally maps and cars aswell? Because there is not so many place to rally or just go offroad
Currently rally cars are being released in mods all the time, however rally maps will have to wait because they are putting majority of their time on the new physics and lighting system with improved maps.
Dude i swear, all those time i play lfm acc, ac, and f1 22-23 and get back to LFS in 2024 i'd say the simulation is really really good. Sim racing is soo popular now days, keep it up guyss
DIS GAME NEEDS TO BE ON STEAM ! ITS BETTER FOR EVERYONE AND GAME WILL BLOW UP ! (i know Steam gets 30% for itself, but its better to have lets say 5000 downloads of the game and getting 70% than getting 100% but having like lets say 1500downloads...
Its a great racing game to practice, for real racers. The car physics is bang on, and you got the track to yourself,doing lap times as consistent as you can …..
Wow LFS is still around? And it still basically looks exactly like it did all those years ago I last played it. Was that VW I think it was ever put in the game?
Nice to see this game being updated. There is still things that need to be improved on to bring it back to todays standard. Graphics is one of them. Corrently it looks like early PS2 game [makes sense considering its over 20 years old]. Big competition for this kind of game nowadays

0:17 - Finally after so many years (I started play LFS on 2011) i can see that POP-UP LIGHTS on XRT/XRG! 🤩🤩

What on Earth, this game is still getting developed?

Love from Poland , im playing LFS to day ❤️❤️ love this game . I would like this game to be updated in the future, 0.7E you did a decent job ❤️💪

Thanks devs 🙂
i'd like to have a night & day cycle , and even changing/adjustable weather

They Have To Upgrade They're Game Engine Graphics Pipeline For Advance Shader etc Since The Lights Sun Is Baked Lightmaps (Fake Lights = More FPS+) I Guess They Want To Target All Hardware Specs Even On Intel Core 2 Duo From 2007 With Intel G41 iGPU Can Run This Game
Love to see that this sim is still receiving new updates! One cool feature could be to have night mode, this way the cool new lights can shine. Seasons and conditions (rain, fog) could be a cool feature as well

wait, lfs getting updates? thats so cool! this is my go to sim on low end systrms and i still think it holds up against anything modern
I really love all these little things and the way they are cleanly implemented into a game. Such a nice UX and software skills.
I like how the LFS team make TC content now haha. Good work TC for helping keep LFS thriving.

If someone told me 17 years ago that i will be still playing this today and having lot of fun, i would not believe.
Wait a minute. You're telling me that a game I used to play as a kid is receiving updates now? That's amazing!
Still alive and kicking ;)
I played it with my dad using my first wheel: Microsoft Sidewinder FF - it was the first time I felt immersion improving times by fractions of seconds. I was hooked.
I was playing LFS like 10 hours each day back in 2004. It's nice to see there is some progress finally.
I'm glad you are still working hard and making this game better ...
I did not know LFS supported bike physics
I have gone from a small boi pirating the full game to play it offline with all the cars vs. AI in 2003-2004 to now having this video in my recommendations and thinking I just should give them money (by purchasing the full S3) for their perseverance and all the fun times had online with the free version. MANY, MANY fun times. When bois in my class discovered it back in the early '00s, we played it even in the computer lab.

this is literally the most beautiful thing i've ever seen since z28
Nice! Looking forward for more to come guys.
2:02... Thanks for including the shot with my layout! :)
