I lost my original account information ages ago, probably some stupid password, but I've played since S1 Still hanging in there hoping for more cars!

That's disappointing I was hoping to find some secret niche of people still playing to have a blast!

I guess it will just be me and the Saudi's lol

I miss the old days with out of map playing around, bespoke and etc, just wondering if anyone is still running servers and such? I kept an old directory just to use it but haven't tried online recently and it's on my old rig!

0.6E has been having huge connectivity issues for me. It's the first patch I've ever had issues with. I seem to be getting disconnects at peak player hours. It even seems to cripple my entire home internet. Is it transferring data differently across the server? It seems when I ask on the servers I'm the only one with issues, but it's weird nothing else has changed in my house?

Since we are supposedly at some point in the never ending future getting the VWS why not get the original sporty hatch the Volkswagen MkI Rabbit/Golf. By far one of the most under rated but most fun cars to drive. We've had several for this reason, even the base model bunny can take corners like a champion. Tuning is almost endless and would be a great competitor against the entry level cars, and with the right tuning can take on any car. It would need wider wheels though, the stock ones were way to skinny lol

Tire width, and spacers etc is a good idea, both for racing and cruising (I have a stanced show car and a race car) My MINI Cooper S can out handle some high dollar cars because of how wide the tires are and the nasty stock camber. However my buddy with even wider wheels can apply more side load because he has more rubber to the surface than me in a corner. But when drag racing you want as little surface touching on non traction wheels as possible.

The spacers would be nice because some cars when you add camber the wheels hide away in the wheel well.

This is actually a very cool idea, I know its a terrible reference but Ryosuke did this in initial D because sometimes too much turbo equals too much wheel slip. Also they turbo lag in this game is way more than the turbo'd VWs I've driven. I own supercharged and N/A cars so I can't speak much else on the topic, but with all the other tuning features this would be a nice addition.

I don't post on these forums much because of the morons who think this is a racing game and there are no other uses for it. Newsflash there are plenty of other uses. I race my Mini Cooper S in real life and this game replicates the best experience to that event. My first track day I had an idea what to do because I had raced the track on GTR2, I knew the basic layout but I didn't push it full out, I cruised along in C group my first couple times learning the track. By the third session my speed was increasing, and I was pushing it harder and harder. By the next track day I was riding the curves on the inside of the turns and only braking twice per lap.

Ok now back to LFS. Many of these tracks are completely developed way beyond the areas we are allowed to drive, anyone remember the fun we had on blackwood car park when we could respawn onto the roof of the building and jump off? That was the reason I played LFS, for fun. The racing and fine tuning you can do is incredible, but the vehicles and openess are lacking. When I'm on a cruise server I tend to drive like I do in real life, pushing it to the edge and taking consequences when I am caught, or I could leisurely drive at their set speed limits. If you ever look the two [TC] servers almost always top the list, followed by Warlab Drift. That says there is more to this sim than just racing. (Even demo servers with out access to objects do it!) The open tracks were added for racers and cruisers alike. Thats what makes this game great, you can play it how you want, there are no levels, there are no restrictions, play it how you like. So why not open up more maps and add more features? This game takes so little overhead that even on max settings my dad's ancient POS IBM Thinkpad can play LFS and the maps are almost done, just finish them. Plus for racers, town racing would be an awesome addition all sorts of new corners and twists could be added. Think Monte Carlo.

This would be second on my list after more customization/vehicles(gimme a MkI Rabbit/Golf and I'll smoke you in a FXR, FZR) and before changing weather/new physics.

I actually agree with ToxicKlay, he's making a valid point about the close mindedness of some video game players. He's in support of the idea by using an attackers attack against them. Personally we have like 7 computers in the house, but when you have a 50 some in monitor hooked up to you main rig why not allow split screen? Need for Speed sadly abandoned it years ago due to greed. Plus typically when you have two computer setups with two different racing wheels and seats(like I do) people usually are in different rooms and can't have a conversation with one another. This is where spiltscreen would allow the seats to be side by side and fun! Personally I feel this is a simple and fun update. NFS1 on windows 95 did it why not LFS on Windows 7?? (I feel like my PS Vita would be able to handle this sort of game and make it fun)

I would have to add please split the screen vertically and not horizontally, that was the stupidest choice in gaming history in my opinion.

Quote from Bean0 :

You can either move your LFS installation out of Program files or uninstall/reinstall.
Moving may break the file associations set up for replays and server joining though.

And ignore our resident comedian

Correction you can just copy and paste. I have done this numerous times when using pcs and such. I have it backed up to my hard drive and public router so that I can just drag and drop the copy no issues. You just have to relog your LFS Username. This should solve the dds issue.

Hey guys I had this skin kit but can't find it anywhere! Try to re download and bam ths us government has seixed the website because dumber folk were illegally uplaoding.. So anyone know the file name or where I can find it? Thanks!

Quote from Impreza09 :

Yeah, I use Gimp also, and I think its excellent... but I dont see nothing strange in your skin...

Look around logos, when there is color contrast it does this.

I can use gimp in the final stages, not sure I fully dig gimp yet.

Ya it could just be the older version of psp finally showing it's flaws. It's psp 8 from back in like 04ish lol. I guess I'll try one of these!

Thanks! Still hoping to get there is another fix! I love the editability in psp plus I've used it forever!

Anyone know why whenever I save a .jpg in Paint Shop Pro 8 I get weird pixelization on the skin? I use the 2048x2048 pro kit and merge all the layers after some minor editing. It's really weird, and no matter if it's a fresh setup or modifying an existing skin it always happens. It's ashame. If I save it as a .pspimage or some other form this doesn't happen. I'll attach a simple issue just for an ex. Hope someone can help!

Quote from beefyman666 :

These are the only two RB4 things I have. Both made by Squale.

Those are two of the ones I had thanks!!!!! I'll keep hunting for my flares and lights.

Thanks again!

Been hunting my old templates all over the web, but the links are mostly dead. Does anyone have an rb4 detal/parts kit. I had some in between tail light panels, fender flares, grills and etc. Would be a great help! (motherboard failure resulted in hard drive format, so all templates lost because I didn't back up all folders )

Thanks

dammit when I saw the thread title I got excited that it would be the interstate batteries livery but maybe I was wrong

Ream O'Neil motorsports has teamed with for in the states to create the Fiesta RS Rally car and I was wondering if someone could make a skin similiar to their green demo cars for the UF1 XFG XFR and/or FXO.

Link to the Team O'Neil site:

Thanks for any ideas/help!

Someone has made a GTR skin base! Can't link directly ATM, but I'll go look. It would finish the skin perfectly!!!!!!!

-Adam

Looking at getting a 2012 Focus, Jetta, Passat or Beetle. The Beetle info will be released in April, as well as Passat pricing and such, all are in the 15-25 price range though!

I have seraached my you know what off looking for a couple FnF skins for the RB4 but I can't find any. I have a 2F2F Evo that is ok, but I am looking for the FnF TD 350Z that DK drove, the crazy asian guy drove, and the third gang/posse member drove. All of the skins I have found seem to be XRT. And then just out of curiousity I was wondering if there was an FXO skin for the Subaru Paul Walker drove in FnF4. And one last car I was looking for was a skin for the S14 in FnF4 that eats it at the intersection.

Thanks so much guys!
-Adam

PS: Can't find any S15 from FnF TD that doesn't have the S15 headlights if someone can hook me up

Somebody was kind enough a couple patches ago to create me a custom Mopar steering wheel, but Z28 doesn't support them in the XRs or XFs anymore. I still have the files but they don't appear correctly on any of the other cars (RB4 and such). I was wondering if anyone had a cool wheel texture I could use. I love Nardis and Brushed aluminum wheels so any help would be awesome!

Thanks
-Adam

Does anyone happen to have an RB4 skin that looks like a P51 Mustang with the bare metal, rivets and shark jaw. I also had an XRG 240sx bodykit, I found an XRT 240sx bodykit that is pretty sweet, but the flares don't line up the same on the fenders, also recently I've noticed several cars with skins that appear to look like the headlight is opened. I have found an RX7 skin that does this, but does anyone have the alpha/raster layer version? One last question does anyone have an RB4 skin that has the appearance of a 3D bodykit?

Thanks!
-Adam

I ran across an LFS Dashboard app for my phone but how the heck do I use it? lol
EDIT: Got it just wasn't connected to the right wifi network!

the F button lets you see the force applied to the wheels same thing as in the pits
