*light* bump!
This game is still under development:

It'll always be on my hard disk.
Any time the world goes tits-up, I'll train up my AI and have a blast on this offline. One of the few sims where the AI learns

Re: Live For Speed ~ General information.
an update not much of an update but an update
LFS Newsletter - New Version : 0.6F
Hello
Today we release an new update of Live for Speed with 3D support and announce another version that is coming soon with a much improved Westhill track.
Version 0.6F:
Available today and well tested by forum visitors, this new update supports 3D devices including TVs, projectors, headsets and the Oculus Rift. While developing it, we also moved onto DirectX 9 which allows for better graphical effects in future while still allowing LFS to run on older versions of Windows and on Linux (using the Wine compatibility software). This version remains fully compatible with 0.6E with many improvements and fixes.
Read more about the patch and how to get it on the 0.6F information page.
Westhill Update:
Available soon... as the development for S3 has been taking some time, we thought it would be good to update something for our existing license holders. The best thing to update was the Westhill track which was always sparse and underdeveloped. The International configuration has been improved in many places, particularly in the twisty sequence of bends in the far corner which is now more challenging. There is a new National configuration, bearing off from the International track after the first right and left bends, involving some interesting gradient changes and technical bends. The scenery has been developed to a higher level of detail and you can drive around the access roads in the open configurations.
You can see more images of the new track on our screenshots page.
The configurations are complete and good to drive. At this point Eric is still finishing some buildings and filling some holes in the scenery. Scawen is making some improvements and optimisations to deal with the higher level of detail. We expect to release this version for testing in a few weeks, but remember that sometimes interesting things can come up that make things take a little longer than planned.
Further Progress:
After the Westhill update, Eric will continue with the S3 tracks he has been working on. Scawen will continue with the new tyre model. The new tyres currently feel good to drive but some work needs to be done on heat, pressure, friction, tyre load sensitivity and wear which are all closely linked.
