On false-start, is it possible to replace force-spec with just a dq? Dissapearing cars in championships would be not a good sight.
What about removing a class-balancing handicap if the car is the only allowed on a host?
I'm getting tired of antidrift posts. 
And a small drift track with many loops - like AU1, but with oval-shaped kerbs and grass inside them (instead of barriers or cones) - will be very useful. Drift is another side of racing. When you go skating, do you always run at max possible speed?

A question from the Russian LFS forum:
-----------------------------------------------
I have connected to my PC a monitor and a TV set (via DVI). The tv set works as desktop extension, and in WV, mouse can go between the screens. When I run a game in full-screeen mode, mouse locks within the main screen and doesn't leave it.
The problem. In WinXP, everything was ok with LFS in fullscreen mode, and mouse locked in it.
In WV, LFS doesn't clip mouse within the main screen, and the cursor can cross to the second one. So, if I occasionally move cursor beyond the main screen and click, LFS minimises. I drive with mouse, and when I click there in the second screen, the game minimizes, and it has the same result as Alt+Tab, no need to explain.
Additional info:
In WinXP there was no such problem.
In WV it is only with LFS, not with other games.
It can be cured by turning off the second monitor in the driver. Videocard is Radeon x1950xtx. I used all the drivers' versions available, including those pre-installed in Vista.
I'd like someone who knows English to let the devs know about this.
P.S. Please, do not advise me to revert to WinXP/2K/9x.

I don't see any connection of drift and plain clothes/no helm model. I both drift and use them, but what's the problem? Why get annoyed about other's appearance?

World police is good. Note: thanks to Iraq war, Libya decided to become a harmless nice sheep, at least in the international affairs, because Kaddafi isn't that stupid to mess with Americans. The UN never had such efficiency, for instance I don't remember a local conflict that UN would manage to resolve.
Scawen, what is the new line "Refresh"? A noun, or a verb as imperative?
Looks like intentional and well-made spin. Deserved a drive-through, even though I'm his fan.
Brakes were invented by cowards!
What does the new translation string do? (%s : %s) for what does it hold places?
[:||||:]
Yes, it is possible and very easily. You select pedals' axes for throttle and brake and mouse X for steering. I was driving this way for some time, that was very convenient.
Are you occupying racign numbers all over LFS? That's nonsence. It would be the same as taking a numb in all the real-life racing: Loёb takes #1 in WRC, and Alonso has to take something different.
Heard something about Justin Timberlake in context of underground or maybe semiamateur music.
I don't defend him. He knows very well what he does and does this repeatedly. But the trial wouldn't be easy going. What counts for a crime in Vykos' list?
0) this forum crack
1) attacking master server
2) trying to give trojan software to betatesters
Each of these items alone "weights" not much and may pass for a hooliganism, resulting in just a small or a moderate money penalty or even nothing if a judge decides he is a lost sheep. So, to draw all the things together one has to do quite a work and a layer. [edit: if a police anti-haxor department doesn't investigate this]

Easy to say "do him this or that". Who the first donates money for a layer to do all the legal operations? (you know these things don't go by themselves)
What a guy Phlos is. If so much talent and energy were spent for peaceful goals...
LOL.
These are the investments that pay off in spring.
(economists should recall the "s" coefficient - the norm of savings )Ok, thanks for response, guys!
JTbo,
if you travel to alpha centauri, you can measure the speed by changes of the visible spectrum, and the position by the visible sizes of the 4 nearest stars. There is a lot of information. Unless you want to stop somewhere in the middle of interstellar space for a roadside picnic, there is enough info.
If you are very interested, you may want to try Orbiter space simulator. Though, it is very complicated, I gave it up. For a start you may try to orbit around the Earth in X-Plane's Discovery Shuttle, land and take off into space manually controlling it. I managed to stabilize height and make a speed error less than 1 Mach

Driving a car disabled on a host is possible
Yesterday, i've been at the "City driving Jamaica" host. I've checked more than twice - only street legal cars are allowed there. But at 9:20:00 replay time, enters a famous hacker and takes a BF1. Yep, a car that is not enabled. I believe neither in that with his status in the community he may be a host owner (even the host's owner can't drive a prohibited car), nor to the story with a certain "superadmin".
The replay, if someone wants to check if it was true:

Heek!
Here in south-western Siberia I enjoy a warm winter. Averagely -5..-10 since the end of november. Never saw such a weather in winter. This year, it has only once been -20 or below. Just a few degrees sub-zero is perfect!
Some photos. This is SNOW!
1. In the yard. Piles 1+ metre high.
2. Someone skidded here, made quite a hole
3. Snow in the wood.

Good work. Though, some paragraphs seemed to me "apologisive".
Your "real vs fictional tracks" paragraph seems to have a bit weak arguments. You decline the problem, but don't say why. Why is it good for a racer to drive a fictional track? You restate that LFS does better physics, then that it doesn't constrain devs - but a user doesn't care about them. Maybe he'd better come 5 years later when there might be real cars? Why sould he drive fictional tracks now? A positive statement? Ultimately, simulation is made to match the real world. My answer would be that 1) a fictional track is better because your immagination smooths the picture, while with a real track your eye would notice the differences, and a copy of a real track always looks cartoonish. 2) the same for cars: you take them as-is, nothing distracts you.
Anyway, go on, not everyone can take a breath and write a complete article.
[edit] I agree on most points with Vain.

Some notes:
* XRT sound seems a bit strange, especially at the back of the car. That high-pitched "rgrgrgrgrrrrr" doesn't sound like real 2 L (I may be wrong, but it seems so to me)
* BF1 is a great improvement. Now it is a real screaming engine, not a coffee grinder. But still it lacks something, like it is partially muted, few echoes - like in a good sound-recording studio. I think partially it is the game sound engine to improve. A loud sound reflects a lot and is heard with many echoes (the extreme example is thunderstorm)
* LX6 seems too loud. IMO, it has a large exhaust silencer not invane.
