You can just see if the car has caused a yellow flag and if the speed of it is 0kph. And then spectate it. I've had this exact idea for my insim app too. 
I know that you need more force.... But how would you put this force in LFS? That's why I said imitation and not simulation...
---
And even if I did pull the key(even tho I believe that I'm not that stupid), as soon as I felt the wheel lock I'd hit the brakes, don't you think? But let me give you some more information: I know I said 5 meters, but if I have to be exact it was like 1 or 2 meters, it was around 06:30am, the street I was going to enter was one way and I had stopped, so a friend could get off the car and go call 1 other guy, where I actually stopped the engine... The wheel was already turned and the car was leaned forward, so all I had to do is release the brakes, let the wheel straighten on it's own while the car is going forward, and then slightly change the direction so I could park.
Now..... I think judging so fast, without really knowing all the facts is not the smartest thing to do too. I just didn't feel like I had to explain the whole situation in a thread about a suggestion, but after you seemed to care...
And just one more thing: Maybe you would say it's stupid to drive at 06:30am... Well I will just say that I still had my reasons.
I just gave up on making a post... But you said everything I wrote and just disregarded right afterwards.
Hehe, had no idea.
Hydraulics imitation and something more :D
What about if the engine of the car is off - (if possible) make wheels harder to spin... Make mouse a lot slower... And on keyboard - make it turn slower also. Would be kinda funny imo...
Oh and.... for wheels I guess it won't be possible(would've been really cool if it was.. or if it is) but for mouse and keyboard - Make it so when u press brake button it brakes slower?
I actually got this idea from today... Turned my engine off... And I still had some distance to pass down the street to park the car(was trying to save fuel from 5 meters distance I guess).... I actually forgot this turns off the hydraulics too... All of a sudden it became so hard to steer and brake...
2nd suggestion: When you press the clutch and release the gas.. Or turn to neutral - The revs go down too slow atm... Maybe make it go faster?
And 3rd(more like a reminder of a suggestion): When the car is left there with engine on - Don't turn it off after X seconds... Let people waste their fuel if they want to.
I'll add a poll for the lazy ones too.

What about you.... Every team you join - you claim that you will host them a server, and make them give you their "insim"... After which it's most likely seen in a "new" cruise server.... After that the "insim" creator/modifier gets to see his "insim" on 5 more "new" servers after a few days(and if this isn't backstabbing i don't know). Then you whine like hell when you get kicked out..
If I ever had to choose whether to be with you or with stig in the same team... I'd definetly choose stig.. Note: This is not a compliment.
A domain name can be set to point at an IP..... In case that you are hosting a server and have a dynamic IP(well, for LFS this isn't quite needed), you can set a domain name from which people will be able to connect to your server. There are even free dns providers... There is an example of a free one: http://www.dyndns.com/
In most games you have to specify the IP of the server to join. But in the field for the IP (logically) you have to be able to type in a domain name too.
But, then again, in LFS this would (in most of the cases) be needed if it has something do with cracked servers, imo...
But still... Problems with the DNS server? How would that matter in LFS, as long as your IP is real(or more like: the needed ports are opened). If your IP isn't accessible it's not the DNS' fault - it's more like your router or it's firewall or your own PC firewall.
Or was all I said just bs?
@DarkTimes: You really amazed me... The code you provided seems a lot smarter and in the same time shorter, even tho I haven't tested it yet, but I will definetly steal some of it. 
[ Edit: ]
Ok, after my application was pissing me off from quite a while, because it was almost always staying in processes after I had closed it, I decided to do a little search on google. And so I did. I just wrote "C# process kill" and the first article I found was just what I needed. So... If you have any similar problem(this is mainly a problem in LFS_External), there is a source that could help you:
I don't find any sense in explaining how to use it, because everyone with less than basic knowledge in C# can figure it out. On top of that there are already provided detailed enough explanations on how to use it.

Oh, re-reading his post.... It does really make sense.. Well the Bulgarian flag always affects my judgment so I will just
now. Most people(including me) want it for demo servers, so they can ban people with many accounts. Or at least slow them down, if they are with dynamic IPs.
From the 1st explanation I got an overall idea of what it does. Which after a little thinking I was probably going to understand.
But the 2nd explanation just saved this hard part - thinking.
I didn't really get it but as long as it works, I wouldn't care about the code.
That's how I do. 
I actually learned how to code on that application. Believe me it can be more stuffed up than you can imagine, so it's just perfect the way it is now.... If you could just see it when I started modifying it... It was suuuch a big mess. Right now I'm recoding almost everything. The damage was baad.
And you said it yourself: If people don't have knowledge in coding they shall not try it out. Actually I take that more like "If you don't have any basic knowledge in C#, then don't whine if you stuff it up.", cause imo that's what they should do(or in this case - what they don't have to do).
Oh and on topic: I remember reading somewhere: (about C#) Have only one try and catch code in a single thread. I really find sense in this, as the more try and catch codes you do when they are "in each other"(if you know what I mean) the less information you'll get, I think.. This will be because when you do try {} you actually prevent the previous try {} code from detecting this error. Now wasn't that confusing or what?

The RequestID explanation was just perfect. Thanks!
-About february... I don't want to specify each year separately, but to make it work smart. :P
-EDIT: Yeah, see, I'm stupid.... I understood what you mean now tho.
And as for the messy code and explanations: I know. I didn't do much cleanup myself. Lazy a** I am. Wrote so much stuff and didn't spend a little time on cleaning it up.

OMG, poor people.. I feel sorry for them already.
Helpful functions/tips
I just thought... Such thread might help a lot of people, and all the people might show their way of coding, which will improve the imagination of others, and show them that a lot more stuff than they thought can be done.
ps: I consider myself one of the "others".
Tips:
1: To be better for everyone, if you have downloaded a free source project from somewhere - include it in here, and say if the code either matters for it or not.
2: Include the language it is coded on (C#, php, C++, VB, etc...).
3: Give some more information on what you are using it for and whatever more you want to include about the specific tip/function.
4: Say if it is either tested or not yet.
5: If you just want to make post with improvement of someone's code, why not post it? If they like it, you might have just helped them.
6: If it has been tested, say if it is finished, or you are still not very happy of the result, after all someone might help you.
Sooo... I will start with a few helpful functions:
Language: C#
Works with: LFS_External from the forums.
Result: Replaces clsConnection to clsPlayer and oposite
Level: Very easy.
Number functions in the code strip: 2
State: Tested and working like a charm. :P
----------------------------------
Language: C#
Works with: Will work with every program.
Source used: LFS_External from the forums.
Result: Removes all lfs color codes in a string.
Level: TOO easy.
Number functions in the code strip: 1
State: Tested and works perfectly.
----------------------------------
Language: C#
Works with: Will work with every program.
Source used: LFS_External from the forums.
Result: Reports errors to external text file.
Level: Not too easy.
Number functions in the code strip: 1
State: Tested and works perfectly.
Requirements: needs file "errorFile.txt" in folder "\errors\" which has to be located on the same location as your project. Also needs a string[] with additional information, which, of course can be null.
Request: It has a disabled code, which I couldn't get to work good, so if you have any solutions for it, you can tell me.
Example of how to call this function:
Note: This is code from my insim, catching errors in the MSO thread.
Tip: Use shortened codes which you have written somewhere to be recognised.
In this case the error code says:
MSO - MSO thread
TWR - Too Wide Range (of the exception)
UNN - Unknown (can't guess what exactly went wrong since the whole MSO thread is "surrounded" with try {}
MSO(UNN) will be added after the error code, so there is bigger chance if 2 errors occur in 1 second, to be recognised.
----------------------------------
Language: C#
Works with: Will work with every program.
Source used: LFS_External from the forums.
Result: Gets absolute(or more like - lowest) distance between 2 points in given _closed_ figure.
Level: Probably easy..
Number functions in the code strip: 1
State: Tested and works perfectly.
Requirements: No requirements
What I use this for mainly: To detect the distance between 2 players in nodes.
I call it like: the_class_its_located_in.absDifference(node of player1, node of player2, total count of nodes on track)
----------------------------------
Language: C#
Works with: Will work with every program.
Source used: LFS_External from the forums.
Result: Gets the time between the date you specify and today. Can be made to work with 2 different dates pretty easy too.
Level: Probably easy..
Number functions in the code strip: 1
State: Tested and works perfectly.
Requirements: No requirements
----------------------------------
Now something I need help with. I guess that the solution is pretty easy, but I didn't have much time for this function anyway...

Level: Probably easy..
Number functions in the code strip: 2
State: Working better than expected.
Note: Don't display too many buttons at once, or you may make your guest lose connection to the server..
There is a UCID - Used each time you display a button.
There is also clsConnection option - If you want to display buttons containing information about one player - with the UCID of another. UCID and clsConnection, of course - CAN be of the same person.
BTW: I never got to know what the RequestID of a button is used for... Proves what a lame coder I am lol! But people learn as long as they live, they say.
----------------------------------
That was some hot code from my program's kitchen. Now let us see something from yours.
::: I know that my post is a little bit confusing and I'm sorry. It's because I didn't take my time to structure the post and make the explanations sound more clear. So once again: I'm sorry if you don't understand something. You can always ask tho.
All the examples I gave you are simple and all you need is basic knowledge of coding to make them work.
ps: I consider myself one of the "others".

}There is a UCID - Used each time you display a button.
There is also clsConnection option - If you want to display buttons containing information about one player - with the UCID of another. UCID and clsConnection, of course - CAN be of the same person.
BTW: I never got to know what the RequestID of a button is used for... Proves what a lame coder I am lol! But people learn as long as they live, they say.

That was some hot code from my program's kitchen. Now let us see something from yours.
::: I know that my post is a little bit confusing and I'm sorry. It's because I didn't take my time to structure the post and make the explanations sound more clear. So once again: I'm sorry if you don't understand something. You can always ask tho.
All the examples I gave you are simple and all you need is basic knowledge of coding to make them work.
He is busy matening his servers now... It's a tough job, you know.
He is a busy business man, what did you expect.
if (Connections[GetConnIdx(MSO.UCID)].Username == "Naruto06") {
//Your code here
}Upper code: Will work only for you username
Code below: Will work with your username or if the user is an admin. Hope I've(with the help and idea of Silox) helped.
if (Connections[GetConnIdx(MSO.UCID)].Username == "Naruto06" || Connections[GetConnIdx(MSO.UCID)].IsAdmin == 1) {
//Your code here
}Note: Not tested, but it should work.
Someone correct me if something's wrong.
Fixed and added one more example: Thanks, Silox.

Problems, problems, problems. Excuses, excuses, excuses. I'd say - get your server and (own)insim fixed and finished and then put a server up, and start advertising it.
Which will be a pain in the *** to code, and I still wouldn't have much faith in it.
And look at the OPs explanation, I'd say it really is impossible for him(at least for now
).Yeah... I believe that the majority of people are aware that you can't just start a hosting business with renting a vps from somewhere and make a post(which actually has a lot of spelling mistakes) in some forum.... But that's (The Stig), with his 100 teams and 1 hosting "providing" service now.
And I would bet you a beer(if you were living in my city :P) that he doesn't have a FTP server.

I don't think Tornado Hosting is actually providing something, since "they" gone off, before there was even a way to pay for a server.
But truth is that such threads are the ones, that sometimes get to be very popular.
....And now it's my fault, because I bumped it again. Damn it!
It's not C++, it's C#(unless you have something else, but I doubt it). And it does save the information already.
Getting the IP of a player is not possible(at least not yet).
