Do you currently own, or plan to purchase live for speed?

I own it, I love the physics but hate the fact that you can't add tracks. I don't currently have it installed, so I haven't tried the latest patch.

I have owned it for a long time as well and it keeps getting better and better. I have spent a good deal of time this weekend with Patch X and really like it ... I would really like to get a race together for fun if those of you that own it are interested. I'd like to see us run the GTR class for a race that would require a pit stop, etc.

I don't know much about rear ends and drive trains, but adding the preloads in this patch has DRASTICALLY improved the feel of the cars. I used to have serious difficulty getting a feel for the LFS cars especially at slow speeds. I could hardly race them, much less keep competitive despite being competitive in GTR(2), GTL, rFactor, ect. Now I'm liking the feel of the LFS cars MORE than the other good sims like GTR2. Very pleased with the patch (the 40+ car servers are fun if you can avoid the inevitable T1 and/or T2 pileups).

I'd definitely be game for some fun races with LFS. Love the GTRs (FXR, baby!)

The community in LFS has always seemed even less mature/friendly in general than GTR2 or rFactor. However I do like the short waits between races. I was banned from a server last night because the idiot who hit me and caused us both to crash immediately started a ban vote against me and people in LFS tend to almost always just vote "yes" without having knowledge because they think its to vote off a wrecker. When you get good races though, its a blast!

I am going to get a server setup for us to practice on and I will get a race organized ASAP! If you havent voted or provided feedback in this thread yet let me know and I would like to include as many of you as possible in the fun race.
