My PC keeps resetting when I turn it off and I can't play LFS, Help!!!
Ok So this is probably going to lead to me buying a new computer but for now, I'll explain the issue. A few weeks back I had reinstalled windows and everything was fine... right until I turned it off. I come back the next day and bam, it was as if I had to reconfigure everything all over again as it didn't save any setting or config made after reinstalling windows.
I've since reformatted completely, even changed hard drives, the onboard battery, wiped the entire registry clean, and reinstalled the 5-6 programs I use regularly: (LFS, Skype, Mozilla, Opera, Comodo, and MalwareBytes). Everything works just as it would normally but once I turn it off, it resets to its default state. This doesn't happen when I set it to sleep or hibernation mode as it doesn't turn off the computer completely. It only happens when it shuts down.
I work with computers a lot and never encountered this problem. I assume it is either a virus or setting of some kind which I'm overlooking. I've tried everything I know of aside from buying a new computer which I'm about to do as I don't see any alternative.
Any ideas or suggestions guys? Thanks in advance!

I have this same one, it's a pain in the.... to configure. On back of Logitech 310 controller, there are 2 modes to choose from on the switch (X or D). You need to install different drivers based on which control layout you use.
X = 6-axis triple analog controller / bottom LT - RT buttons also are analog
Install only the "P6_setup_v.2.3.exe" driver
D = 4 axis dual analog controller / standard logitech device
Install only the "lgs510.exe" driver

I'll just leave this here. 
A wise person once said "You won't be able to appreciate things you desire until you learn to appreciate things you already have."
Guys, look at it this way... rather than getting worked up over what LFS should have, just appreciate it for what it is, a racing simulation game that's fun yet challenging.

Sounds like either a connection issue on your end like a firewall preventing LFS from connecting, or you might have to set a multiplayer "game password". You can use the "search" bar at the top to search for help topics also.
This is a great idea and hopefully might make it state-side someday which if it does, I'll enter it! On another note... I totally thought this was hilarious and couldn't resist.
Continuation / Advanced Cornering Theory
Advanced Cornering Theory: How To Calculate A Trajectory Path
When navigating around a race course, you'll encounter numerous direction changes and will have to adapt to each of them. Car positioning going into turns is by far one of the most important aspect in competition racing.
Most drivers only know about this general rule: "Outside, inside, outside" or "apex the turn". It's a method of using the most road possible to turn as little as possible making the car travel as fast as possible. Here are the actual physics and mathematics involved in calculating a trajectory arc.
There are several types of "arcs" as noted:
- decreasing radius arc is a turn which gets tighter or smaller
- increasing radius arc is a turn that opens up or straightens out
- constant radius arc is a turn that stays the same without deviating
- multiple arc radii are multiple turns that have more than one arc radius
Each arc has to be converted to an angle in degrees then bisected (cut in half) down the middle by dividing the turn degree number in half. Below is a 90 degree angle bisected into 2 halves, each being 45 degrees. Next step is to map a trajectory path that starts on the outside edge of the turn and allows the biggest arc radius possible while passing through the turn apex or inner corner, and leads back out to the opposing edge of the turn.
Most drivers will use the geometric apex as a marker to put the car over. Others use what's called the "real apex" which is slightly after the geometric apex. By shifting the apex and adjusting the arc radius to allow more room on the turn exit, the car will actually gain speed faster and is especially important if there is a long straight after a turn. If your car is able to accelerate even 1 second ahead of your opponent, that become several feet within the next few seconds time.
Going into turns fast is not as important as maintaining control of the car and having a stable yet quick exit out of the turns.
Advanced Cornering Theory: Trajectory Paths For S-Turns With Multiple Arc Radii
Anytime there's an S-turn leading to a long straightaway, exiting the S-turn is actually more important than entering it. Below is an image showing 2 trajectory paths.
The red path shows the most common line used in this corner which allows a large arc radius for both corners. The 2nd corner though requires the driver to take a smaller arc radius and won't allow the car any room to accelerate.
The yellow path shows a different line that sacrifices the first corner to position the car in a way that allows the 2nd corner to be taken with the largest arc radius possible and allows the car room to accelerate much sooner. As a result, it will exit the corner onto the straightaway at a higher exit speed and will make up for any time lost in the first section of the S-turn.
Advanced Cornering Theory: Exiting Fast Wins Races, Entering Fast Ends Races...
When you enter a corner too fast, odds are you're already losing time just trying to keep the car on the road and most drivers will anticipate this then dive to the inside for the pass. The ideal braking point & turn-in point depends on how much fuel you have, how worn your tires are in addition to their temp + track temp, and how hard you're pushing the car. The ideal racing line would be the shortest path from point A to point B and to win the race, you'll need to gain or lose momentum faster than your competition.
Final Turn - WE1 An example scenario of corner exit theory. In this section, the last turn starts very tight and slowly opens onto the main front straightaway. Taking this turn as fast as possible depends more on how long the car takes to change direction than it does on the moving speed the car goes through it.
Red dotted line: The braking and turning markers are too early causing the car to apex early and go wide since it runs out of road to use.
Green dotted line: The braking and turning markers are just right allowing the car to slow down enough to cut inside the racing line. Cutting inside at the exit of the turn is what will allow the car to accelerate sooner and will carry that speed onto the straightaway.
Black solid line: This is the normal racing line where braking points are a bit late or going too fast so it stays on the outside of the turn most of the time.

What the heck... It should say "Error, this user cannot be banned because you'd have to be able to catch him first. Not happening." lol
I saw this when I first joined LFS shortly after Patch X was released. It was when the demo version dropped the XRT and added the FBM although the video was posted by another channel. Here's the original post though.

>Soon available : Formula BMW FB02
Hello Racers!
We are pleased to announce that there will be a new patch before Christmas. This patch will contain AI and physics improvements, updated Blackwood and South City tracks and... a new real car - The Formula BMW FB02!
The story behind the new car is that there is a new UK based company called V1 Championship whose aim is to discover a new racing driver through a series of tests resulting in a place in a team for the winning driver. V1 will be launched in 2008 and shown on TV in the UK. Live for Speed will be used as part of the selection process, before testing in real cars. V1 asked us to create a Formula BMW to make this test as realistic as possible. BMW Motorsport gave us permission to build the car in LFS, so we went ahead and built it.
The V1 car is owned by Fortec Motorsport where V1 is based. Thanks to V1 and Fortec, our programmer Scawen Roberts was able to get a test day driving the Formula BMW and that helped a lot with the realism of the LFS version of the car.
We can't give an exact date for the release yet but it will be before Christmas. Right now you can watch a video of Scawen's test day and footage of the car in LFS. Thanks to DoN for making the video. Click one of the links below to download or stream it. If the download doesn't play on your computer, just visit www.divx.com and install the free DivX player.

Did I do it right?
Did I do this right? Lol I just wanted something simple that shows who's on what server so I could join hosts much faster and easier than loading up the in-game host list and searching each one individually. 
It's a good idea to use different unique passwords for all of these:
- your lfs.net / lfsforum.net password
- your S2 user license game password
- your registered email password
- all other sites you're registered to
Never re-use your lfs.net password or game password for other stuff and it won't be at risk or compromised.
- your lfs.net / lfsforum.net password
- your S2 user license game password
- your registered email password
- all other sites you're registered to

⇧⇧⇧ Things like that are why Vitaly is awesome.
My advice Aukoue is that you have to start from the beginning and go step by step to diagnose the problem otherwise you'll just be changing stuff that may not need it.
Anytime a device or component encounters errors or malfunctions (including the G25 steering wheel), it's due to either a software misconfiguration issue or a hardware failure. You only have to test the software stuff to know which issue it is. This can be done easily with the following steps:
1) add a new windows user (as administrator) and switch to it
2) install a default version of G25 profiler somewhere - except in the default Logitech folder to avoid overwriting
3) install a default version of LFS somewhere - except in C:\LFS to avoid overwriting
4) start profiler and let it detect the wheel but don't change settings
5) start a single player demo game without changing any settings
6) go on the track and test the wheel, it should be back to normal
At this point, you'll know if it is a software issue or hardware issue because everything is in a default state. Now you can adjust the profiler while testing the wheel, then by adjusting the LFS settings while testing the wheel again. When finished, just remember the settings so you can apply it to your regular setup. Hope it helps!
Westhill looks a bit cleaner and the car has more grip. I like it.
LFS like all video games regardless of how successful they become, will succumb to the same fate as many games that came before it and are now long gone. It is not a matter of "if" it happens, it's a matter of "when" it will happen. It is sad but it is reality.
The reason is a four letter word..."cost"... Nearly all other games are just games we play through a few times, have fun, and that's that. There are no records requiring storage space with the exception of RPG's like warcraft where stats is a big aspect to the game. Racing also requires stats to be kept just by its nature.
Q) How much would it cost if it took $1 dollar per player per year, to save
the statistics for lap data, if it were a group of 1000 people?
A) $1000 dollars a year.
Add up a few thousand of us that have paid for LFS with hundreds of thousands of Demo users that haven't paid at all, then multiply the cost per player with the amount of years they played which even if it where a few pennies per person would still be tens of thousands of dollars within the first few years. A few MB's here and there add up quick when skins are taken into account.
For those of you that manage servers and pay for web hosting, you know as well as I do that on a small scale, data storage is affordable and no biggie. Imagine on LFS's scale where it's been steadily growing for nearly a decade. For it to add more would only require more records to be kept, more players to appease that want everything our way, and would require literally months of coding which includes beta testing to work out the bugs... If you think programming is easy, it isn't. Sure anyone can code HTML, Java, even Python, but a physics engine that controls the way an object interacts with an environment is so much more complex.
It's a dilemma that really has no single answer to explain why LFS is the way it is, it's several problems which I prefer to call "obstacles". Problems makes it sound negative when it's more of a task that could be overcome.

Web Hosting = A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center.
Game Server Hosting = shared web hosting service... one's website is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. The features available with this type of service can be quite basic and not flexible in terms of software and updates. Resellers often sell shared web hosting and web companies often have reseller accounts to provide hosting for clients.
htaccess = A .htaccess (hypertext access) file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. They are placed inside the web tree, and are able to override a subset... of the server's global configuration for the directory that they are in, and all sub-directories. The original purpose of .htaccess—reflected in its name—was to allow per-directory access control, by for example requiring a password to access the content. Nowadays however, the .htaccess files can override many other configuration settings including content type and character set, CGI handlers, etc.
(courtesy of wiki as I don't have time to list the differences, 1 is a subset of the other... htaccess is commonly used for server configurations in relation to blocking proxies...)
I was giving advice on what needs to be done. How Flange goes about doing it is his choice however at least he knows what's involved. As I said, he needs to research what his server's needs are so he can make it happen. I didn't say for him to use that exact config, only that blocking proxies will stop most DDoS attacks because nobody is going to DDoS someone on their own IP not to mention most DDoS attacks are often carried out using multiple proxy services and is neutralized once they can't connect.
btw I already explained to Victor a while back about how people were getting the server IP's so that they could possibly find a solution to it and implement it in the future but I'm not going to say how publicly. At the same time a patch was added to help keep LFS more secure but the servers you guys use have to be configured properly for them to be protected.
I'm sure it's an unpleasant situation for many of you guys to be in. I'm just offering advice on what can be done to protect yourselves. As I mentioned though, you guys have to take initiative and learn about these things if you want it to happen.

1) Contact the LFS staff / developers to make an official report on the issue so they are aware of it. This is what all websites do when it comes to filing a complaint or report, the person contacts the domain administrator and asks for advice which needs to be done first so you go through the proper procedures.
2) Yes it says "buy software" as the first option however there are 3 methods to blocking proxies & VPN's in which the 2nd and 3rd options don't cost anything however it is something you have to do in order to secure your server.
Method 1 - Buy Proxy Software
Requires you to learn about Classless Inter-Domain Routing among other things plus it cost money and is something you said you didn't want to do hence the other 2 methods...
Method 2 - Block proxy servers by HTTP protocols
If you don’t want to purchase software, there is another way. You can insert a script in your website’s root htsaccess file. It’s best to copy and paste the code, rather than type it. That way, you can be sure that you won’t make any errors. After you’ve inserted the code, upload it to your server. This method is effective. Insert the following code:
# block proxy servers from site access
# [URL]http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/04/20/how-to-block-proxy-servers-via-htaccess/[/URL]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]
Method 3 - Block Proxy Servers With a Third Party Service
Use a free service like Black Box Proxy Block to check if an IP address is associated with an open proxy server. Other services such as BlockScript, BlockThatProxy, Maxmind and ThreatMetrix track all types of proxy servers, including Open proxies, HTTP proxies, SOCKS proxies, VPN (Virtual Private Network) servers, SSH tunnel servers, web-based proxies, popular anonymity networks, and Tor.
Whether this is understood or not is up to you my friend. The same things that the article explains are things I already knew and am trying to help teach you about. No worries man, just do some research on your server and find out what it needs to be secure then make it happen as that's what will stop it from getting abused. We can only give you advice here but you're the one that has to take action k.
Unfortunately there are programs such as Hex/Decimal engines which can alter the computer's clock frequency. In that aspect, it's possible to speed up everything including LFS so laps only take 5-10 seconds to complete instead of the normal time.
I'm pretty sure it's stuff like that which is a big reason why a lot of stats aren't counted simply because it's too easy to manipulate.
I do tech support & security for a few sites I work for so hopefully a few tips on how to prevent a server from being DDoSed will help...
1) - Contact The LFS Developers - They are the only ones who can look into the issue and may be able to help.
2) - Block proxies from connecting to your server. Here's a "How To" article on 3 ways to accomplish that task: WikiHow - Block Proxy Servers. This will prevent most DDoS attacks from reaching their intended target.
3) - If a VPN is used where there are multiple IP's for that service, don't waste your time banning individual IP's as it's not going to work. Instead do a reverse-IP lookup search for the IP that's abusing your server and blacklist the entire range of IP's that service uses. It may require you to generate a list of the IP's in that range which you can make here: IP Range List Generator.

Initial D rocks! I have a ton of the DVDs and CD soundtracks including the 5-disc Millennium Box Set & 2 copies of Battle Stage as I'm keeping 1 brand-new. As good as Initial D is, I love Shuto Kousoku Max & Drift GTR even more! Once you see them, you'll want to race on the freeway.
