In case someone missed it:
In the LFS Forum:

Tbh it's a bit depressive for me.
The news are almost the same as the ones from last year:
(compare it with the 2010 news ->http://www.triple7racing.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,92/topic,1677.0 )

No dates - release as soon as possible - and one boring pic of the tire.

For those who were wondering, yes, this is our full time job, LFS sales make enough money to keep us going while we work on the improvements. From a "pure capitalist" point of view there are certainly ways to make money more quickly, but our aim is a little different - to make the best simulator we can in a sustainable way, and we're doing that the only way we know how - to study, experiment and implement, however long it takes. We don't mind if some people become angry, the important thing for us is to get the improvements done and release them.

So like always it's done when it's done.  Wink

Dear LFS Racers,

I hope you had a good year 2012. The development of LFS has been quite successful. Eric worked on the interiors of the VW Scirocco while I worked to simulate the rotation direction of the wheel correctly. The complexity of simulating a tyre results from the fact that a tyre is not a simple object. It is more complex than that. A tyre has no corners. It is circular, so it has no corners. And while the car is moving, it rotates. The direction is very important for the feel of the car in the simulation. So I developed a rotation simulator to determine the exact rotation speed at every car speed. I will finish it early 2013 and will be able to program the rotation shortly after that.

We are looking forward to give you a release very soon.

Here a picture to show the form of a tyre:

 mrgreen nice one 3j
All I kept in mind after reading the text was: "will finish it early 2013" and "A tyre has no corners." great lol

I hope this will not become reality
