A few suggestions

When you go onto dirt, small bits of dirt could flick up onto the windscreen. Also, it would be nice if lfs could have a rotating weather system, (sunny, overcast, sunset, sunny, overcast, sunset) also a different multiplayer server category would be nice...for example:

Four categories: Race, Drift, Cruise, Other. Under each category could be that certain type of server.

Also, some more training lessons would be nice..such as how to do a handbrake turn, how to avoid under steer/over steer, RWD throttle control and maybe how to react to different race situations and fix errors such as locking up the front wheels.


I know this seems like a lot to suggest but I would like this game to actually be a racing simulator. Not some cruise/open world game.

If people want s3 to come out this month, first of all purchase the right software to make 3-D model cars. Secondly, learn how to code and finally, once you have got a finished product, email the LFS devs and tell them that you have produced extra content for lfs and also ask them if they would be up to testing it out on lfs and also debugging it. By doing this, you may receive updates on your extra content that you've made which may speed up the s3 process. But please, give the devs some credit, three men have created this amazing and realistic game on (I presume) a small-ish budget.

Now if certain people are only going to come onto the lfs forum to whine about the s3 development speed, read my other post, it's not hard to miss.

Good Day.

Please stop posting in this topic, most of the questions have been answered and s3 will be released when it is ready. Yes it is taking some time but would you rather have a game with loads of bugs in or a game which runs near to perfect?

I know I would rather wait to have a finished game that has no bugs in. In the mean time, I will try my best to put more racing servers up so people will stop whining about s3 and put their licences to good use, to race on servers.

And by the way, to all of the people that say "LFS IS DEAD" or "LFS SUCKS BECAUSE...." just be thankful that LFS isnt some game which claims to have a physics engine which is 'realistic' but in fact the cars handle like sh*t. Lfs has one of the (in my opinion) best physics engines out there, yes the game might be over ten years old and the graphics are starting to look a bit dated but please, I think people should give credit to the devs for creating this superb racing simulator which provides a good selection of FWD, RWD and AWD cars and also be grateful that licences are well priced, most racing games which are on PC tend to put silly quotes on the box saying "best game ever-IGN" and "physics are excellent-Race-room" when in fact they are not, lfs does not have that problem.

If any one thinks lfs 'sucks' or is 'dead' then you're wrong, lfs is not dead, it is just full of cruise servers. I will be putting my racing server up in a couple of days, I will be making a new topic so if you want to have a good time racing, feel free to join. Also don't forget (if you have s1 or s2) to join the cargame servers, they offer a good track combo. For demo users, try out the [AA] servers, they seem to be always up and running and up to 15 people are normally on every one. Rant over.

LX6 AI problem
eddy678
S3 licensed
You're able to put hybrid and knobbly tires on the lx6 but lfs can't load the .knw files for fe6, fe5 and bl2 for the lx6. Also, lfs says that the AI cannot drive the lx6 on rally cross tracks even though you can put rally tires on the car.

Victor, Scawen and Eric, two users (PititBlue and ricki) are using some sort of speed hack, I am unable to provide a replay but I have seen these two on two different servers with in the past 30 minutes using the speed hack. I think these two guys deserve a global 30 day ban or a perm ban from lfs.

Hi, I am running a server which is called: Edward's SINGLE CLASS s2 .

Drivers will be using the same car on the same track, each race will consist of 5 laps or less (depending on the size of the track).

The server is up and running NOW, so if anyone would like to join, feel free.

I will be putting up the server on the 8/06/13 and 09/06/13 at 7:00pm GMT+1 just for fun, I'm not sure what the combo will be but I will post on here.

Also, I will try and throw in a mixture of road and rally racing and maybe some auto cross (that's if I could find some good layouts).

Regards,
Edward .

...I know I play too much LFS when....I sit at a desk and put both of my arms out and position my legs as if I was going to use a steering wheel.

Quote from Whiskey :

I've always found the RSRBR installation process a bit messy, but at least the readme help guessing the correct installation order

Me too. I don't know why it can't come in as an .exe file or just one huge .rar file

Quote from Whiskey :Maybe you installed the cars before the updates?

Yes my mistake, I've now installed the updates before the car packs and now the game works .
Richard Burns rally- RBRSR 2013 problem
eddy678
S3 licensed
Hi, I have downloaded RBRSR2013, but everytime I enter the RSCenter2013 and everytime I click on pack, the box is blank. Like this:


And every time I enter Richard Burns rally without opening the RScenter2013, it just comes up with the standard cars and tracks you get without the mod installed.

What am I doing wrong? In the RBR folder, I can see all of the cars have been installed and tracks...

P.S. When I click on 'country' in the RScenter2013, I am able to select any track, I just cannot select an installed car.

I purchased a brand new Logitech g25 back in 2009....

Current problems: Pedals spiking, opened them, cleaned them, still spike a little bit now .

Shifter- Bought a second hand replacement shifter off ebay, working fine, first shifter broke .

Wheel itself- force feedback still strong, all buttons work on wheel .


So really, the actual wheel is the only part which has had no problems since purchase. Logitech should of put some kind of cover around the red pedal parts to prevent dust getting in, and used stronger wires for the shifter.
