Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.
Just a few days after v0.7C the LFS Devs have quickly released another revision of their software. The latest update includes some updates for the list of events on the entry screen.
The list of events now shows a countdown to a live stream if it will start within an hour. The number of racers on an event’s host is now displayed, either during the event or when it is open for practice. A lock icon is shown if you will need a password to join.
The other changes are mainly fixes for a few issues that were found in the recently released version C, and some user interface improvements.
Changes from 0.7C to 0.7D:
List of events:
Time to live stream is displayed if it starts in less than 1 hour
