Maybe you could ask for permission to recreate the Top Gear test track for LFS.

SECONDED! :cookiemon

Very nice footage. Too bad about the unfortunate music choice though.

Quote from Syxxpacc :

well during late S1 we had a thing called LFS Radio i still have the same idea to bring that radio alive again, but im stuck atm because i cant seem to find anyone to host a shoutcast server but atm things are looking bright again and hopefully LFS Radio will be alive and kicking once again, but til then u have to cope with other things

Why not piggyback on http://www.radiosimracing.com? They already host one LFS broadcast, and there's plenty of gaps to fill in their schedule.

Live IRC commentary is arranged on Chensta's channel #lfsracing on gamesurge. Gu3st will be your commentator.

I was there, but I didn't hear much commentary.

I vote Bob be made a beta tester and given the task of making easy to drive default setups.

Quote from Shotglass :

i just hope scawen will pipe out incompatible patches as they are finished and not care about the hotlappers too much

Hear hear, screw the hotlappers until S2 is finalized.

They're working on a new patch. Did you completely miss this thread? http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=2335

Did you forget about the Nations Cup race today?

Are there any central websites where you can see race results and reports for all active LFS leagues?

Can it be made to also consider members of your buddy list to be online if they're logged on to lfsworld or browsing the in-game server list?

oops, my mistake. The big wing at the back threw me off.

Look again. All the cars FXO GTRs. Apparently they have gotten it on tv, but I don't know if it's a normal or public access channel. What's wrong with Mexico? :P

LFS racing on TV! It looks like they aired five races so far. It's a pretty good production too for its limited budget, The only thing I missed was time gaps at each lap/sector. I hope they'll get enough sponsor interest to fund more shows.

How about one of these?

If you're going to mod the videos for a looping display, I suggest you concentrate on shots that highlight the physics, especially the suspension. Things like bouncing on kerbs in corners, side to side weight shifts in a chicane, the slight 4 wheel drift you can get on long sweepers with the road cars or a downhill run of AS Historic's "eau rouge" in an LX. When I watch videos, I find that kind of visual really makes LFS' realism stand out. The GTRs sure look pretty, but because they're set so tight and don't bounce around much, it tends to "feel" like you could be watching any other game like GTR or GT4.

Nice design on the website, very easy to navigate. I've been waiting for another league that caters to North American time zones, so I'll definitely take part.

I want my inline 8-cylinder with skinny bias-ply tires, and no roll cage or doors.

I tend to leave empty servers off because of the long time it can take to download the list only to end up with mostly empties and a load of all car servers. I know you can use the side buttons flip through the classes, but it would be convenient to have something to show them all at once. It would also be easier to leave empty servers on when getting a full list to quickly flip through the side filters later, as you'd be downloading a significantly smaller server list.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to suggest lowering the Gti's hp rather than raising the GT's? Especially since raising the Gti power was the cause of the new imbalance. Otherwise you get into inflation back and forth until they have as much power as the GTRs.

If you look at the population history http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=h ... icensed_history&t=182 you can see that since the first month or two after the release of S2 alpha, the max/min number of online racers has been slowly but fairly steadily decreasing(it's more apparent with the minimum numbers). Meanwhile the number of available servers has increased at about the same rate! So theoretically you have a smaller and smaller population getting more and more spread out.

From what I've seen on the server list though, people tend to congregate in a few "popular" servers. However, I do see a lot of all-car servers with groups of 2-5 tooling around. So maybe Scawen is right about that kind of server. I've never run a server myself, are all cars turned on by default? One thing I know about most people is that they're lazy, so maybe the default setting should be a class like TBO or GTR.

Don't worry about it. I had a great time anyway. (see my thread below)

I was browsing the server list tonight and what did I spy? A Gti/GT only server, on Westhill! This kind of thing is what I've been desiring as of late, so I jumped in without hesitation. It was called fair play ...something, and run by this really nice guy, I think french. I arrived on the latter half of a 15-lapper, and tried to join in with a GT, but alas I could barely keep it on the road. I resigned myself to spectator and was treated to a great scrap for the lead between two GTs. The guy in second made a daring move into the last corner and had the door closed on him, but they managed to make it through without incident.

After that, we moved on to AS Historic for 7 laps, where I took a Gti and had a spirited round of position swapping with a fellow in a GT during qualifying. In the race, I was able to keep up in the middle of a pack of GTs. After a couple of laps I got more comfortable and was able to move ahead even streching the lead a bit, getting one quick lap 3-4 seconds faster than everyone else's. Some might think these cars are too slow, but on the long fast sweepers of the new tracks they're a ton of fun to slide around at the very limit. Too bad for me I miscalculated fuel and had to pit, dropping down to 3rd(with a 30 sec penalty for speeding too). After that the server started getting unstable and eventually everyone lost connections. Still, great racing all around!:auto::auto::auto::auto::auto:

All-dirt versions of the rallycross tracks.

Historic F1 cars are a must, I'm thinking 1967 and before

It would be nice to have more (populated) road car servers, especially on S2 tracks like cadet, club, or kyoto infield.
