Dear LFS Racers,
We are pleased to announce a new version of Live for Speed, 0.6K, which contains the Rockingham race track. Located in Corby, England, Rockingham is an oval track with many infield configurations. Thanks to the owners, we were allowed to hire APR Services to laser scan the real track area in 2008. It has been a long time coming but we are sure you will like the result!

Version 0.6K also has graphical improvements including new reflections and dynamic environment maps, AI improvements, support for the HTC Vive VR headset (in addition to the Oculus Rift) and fixes.

You will need an S3 license to unlock the Rockingham track. S3 licenses are now available on our website. If you already have S1 or S2, the price of your existing license will be deducted from the full price of S3. Further S3 content is in development but currently Rockingham is the only S3 content available. We made the decision to release it now rather than waiting for the other content to be completed. Although S3 content is already being developed, we cannot provide a guarantee that it will be released. Please only buy an S3 license upgrade if you feel it's worth it to use Rockingham right now. We will be continuing to work on S3 after Christmas!

Read the list of changes and how to get the update on the 0.6K information page.

We have also uploaded a large collection of new Rockingham screenshots for you to preview.

I know S3 is going to get more content in the near future (according to Scawen) but I can't imagine paying £12 for one track at this stage. Oh and let's not forget LFS hasn't got the best track record when it comes to releasing new content - Where are the new tyre physics and VW Scirocco?

I want the new tyre physics too but prefer to give them £12 just for one track than to give a dollar again for GT SPORT and FORZA 6

I understand your support but from my perspective, it is basically a fee for one track at this stage with no guarantee for future content. Despite saying that, I want to be proven wrong by the LFS Team - if there are monthly content updates then I would happily purchase the £12 upgrade in about six months.
 
Thanks for sharing!

Really tempted to support the LFS Team just for the sake of supporting them. Although I haven't played LFS with any sort of regularity for several years, I still hold it as my sim of choice for accurate physics and dusting off my G25, and I've never expected anything else to take its place. I also expect them to deliver all of LFS S3 someday. But money's a bit tight right now to justify $18 on one track and a package of content that could still be a work in progress into the 2020s.

A new car that isn't the Scirocco and another new track might get me on board.
