>S2 development continues
>An additional Blackwood movie
S2 development continues... in the last few days, Scawen has implemented the compressed textures system and worked on increasing the frame rate when 20 players are online. Eric has been finishing the Blackwood track and done some work on the drivers and animations. Victor has been preparing LFS World bit by bit to accomodate the S2 release. The hotlappers will be specially pleased with the new hotlap pages, which contain all new hotlap ranks and much more detailed charts and hotlap statistics.

For your entertainment in the meantime we've uploaded an additional Blackwood movie which shows some racing with the new GTR cars.

Enjoy



I've just watched the video, it's looking very impressive :D The development report gives me confidence that it's getting very close to release now.

D'oh, the link didn't highlight well *edits post*

Nice vid, looking forward to it

Great vid! I see they're being conservative about the release date... 2005. Lol.

Lol, well I think this is the first time they've commited to a year

Been watching the video more closely. The suspension overhaul is actually quite noticable! There's small parts of the video where it jumps to an in-car view. Reminds me of GTR in a way.

And at the end of lap 2 where the car spins... I think if that were S1 then it would have been fairly easy to collect it and keep going.

Also something else i noticed about the spin @ the end, the skid lines get thinner where the contact patch is changing. As far as I can remember that didn't happen in S1

Yeah, your right! Nice spot... I would never have noticed that. Not sure if that currently happens in S1, you'd probably have to check.

Checked it out, as far as I can tell it doesn't do it. If that is the case, I think this is a sign that the tyre physics are greatly improved.

Yeah, they've been overhauled too. Infact, I think Scawen is still touching up on them as we speak. Surely it can be too far away! Within 2 months i'd guess... Victor is preparing FLS World, and Eric and Scawen are touching up things. Just seems to me they're into the fine tuning stage, and probably beta testing in secret.
