Live for Speed Interview


GRAPHICS & SOUND


BHMS: Are samples used for the engine-sounds, or are they calculated in realtime? If you use samples, will we be able to change them later?

LFS Team: The engines use our own native morphing samples some of which are played once per cylinder firing - so you could say it's a combination of samples and simulation. We don't know yet how much these will be editable by the user, but using different mufflers would of course make a different sound. We will be working on the engine sounds a lot and specially looking for ways to get a real roar on the power at high revs..

BHMS: Will you use all the new graphical effects (like pixel shaders, motion blur, bumpmaping...) for the gold product?

LFS Team: Again we will try to do as many as possible for the first release, but we want to support Live for Speed for a long time to come and will always be adding more features and options for high end pcs and cards...

Thanks for the interview Jure, we hope we've answered most things ok! :)

The LFS Team - Scawen Roberts, Eric Bailey and Victor van Vlaardingen

I would just like to thank the LFS Team for doing the interview with us and our visitors. LFS is the game, that forced me to keep the wheel on my desk, and not put it on the shelf like I used to.

Very interesting article. I have played many Racing-Sims ītil now, but no one has such a realism like LFS. I can even "feel" the physics of the cars!

Hi, I'm a big racing sim fan and this is about the best sim i've ever tried. If and when it's released, i'm buying it... nice article too... ;)

Real cars too?
Author: LUDWIG 14-09-2002
Lovely,lovely arab racing for westerners
Author: SDager34 17-09-2002
Interesting, I do not see a great vision for this as it is just some programmers playing around trying to get a publisher to buy them out. Do some really good work on there own, then sell out. Thats what I would do too! :)
Author: big D 17-09-2002
interesting article. as an illeterate computor user, i found some discussion over my head, yet i better apperciate the work involved in developing a game
Author: -=[Cobra]=- 17-09-2002

Author: UTZ|VOiD 17-09-2002
OT : "Nice to see some a+r here" LFS is a VERY promising product, even in this "beta" stage it's VERY funny to drive, quite realistic and with a nice multiplayer support! I spread it to my friends and we are all having A LOT of fun with it... keep up the good work!
Author: Roggan 20-09-2002
Really enjoying LFS, GREAT SIM!! Cant wait for shifter support and clutch! And specially better enginesounds with "real roar" =) Good review, very intresting reading!

OMG! LFS v0.1E is already an amazing carsim and after reading this interview I am in heaven =)
Author: Tiresmoke 05-10-2002
Thanks for the great info and I will certainly be looking forward to future developments on this platform.
Author: Dave 22-10-2002
amazing game that has done the impossible and actually stopped me playing so much Gran Turismo 3 :) Cheers guys.

Just remember what a small game can do for a person as long as they support the community. Look at Cliff from Counter-strike. That whole teams was absorbed by developers because of such a great product. If they short change the game they will only hurt themselves. Make the game open for cars and tracks and be able to keep the cheating to a minimum = sucsess.

I think LFS is the best touring car simulation and it's the first game that I have played over the internet. And as my opinion it works great. You can never replase a human opponent with computer. So I'll be looking for new updates as well as the final version. This intervie gave me a picture of what to expect. Thanks
Author: Geoff 11-11-2002
Good to see that some of the small guys are doing so well. love the demo and looking forward to the release. A real sim is long overdue and Codies and EA could take a lot away from this in real product development instead of offering hyped up crap.

Awesome job irregardless of the short development time. Adding Camel track racing :?
Author: Jeff Spruiel 03-12-2002
I really appreciate the work you guys are doing. It has been 4 years since I purchased a racing sim. In the past, I purchased a chair with built in speakers and a force feedback wheel as testament to my serious interest. Since then I haven't been satisfied with the audio of most sims. I feel it was always overlooked. I tried your sim and can't wait to finally purchase another sim. (Own Viper Racing, MSCart Precision, Sports Car GT and some others). Finally, thanks for sharing your plans.

I like the way the game is being developed, marketed and distributed. I think this is a prime example of things to come, gone are the days of CD's and high profile publishers with more and more people with access to high bandwidth internet connections. I for one will be giving these people my money, knowing it is going to the guys that deserve it by their efforts to create a brilliant and entertaining computer game. Keep up the good work.

Looks like a great sim once it comes out. Pitty none of your gallery links work.
Author: Lalle 28-12-2002
GREAT! =)
Author: scarlet 07-01-2003
Great interview! I hope see the game in Colombia, or maybe see the possibility to buy it through internet! Thanks alot!
Author: Michael 20-01-2003
For engine sounds, I hope the makers will bear in mind that foremost, the game must be comfortable to play. Sports Cars GT made the mistake of making engine sounds too bright (possibly attempting to make them realistic) and as a result, i had to turn the volume down....a full sound is better, even if it is not as real.
Author: Prophetu$ 21-03-2003
damn good interview guys .ty lfs team and blackhole ms :D
Author: MadHun 31-05-2003
Men i tell you. You guys need to be hired by Codemasters.If CMR3 could get this physics engine....Unreal,why cant they do the same!

I Quote a previus post :) Author: John 03-12-2002 I like the way the game is being developed, marketed and distributed. I think this is a prime example of things to come,(snip) --------------------------------------- Cheers Smasha_D (S1 Lic. Racer) =D
