I remember. Come by the server sometime.

We are still working on our new insim which is almost ready for testing. We will be doing some public testing starting Friday April 11th.

The current insim stats will be transferred to the new insim, so if you want to have cars and cash when the change happens, we encourage everyone to come and enjoy the current insim.

I live a few hours from pikes peak. Beautiful place.

Restoring the website is taking longer than expected. Database is corrupted so we are having to start over with the website.

LFS Server, Insim, and TS3 have been restored.

Quote from obzelite :

why so?

i would have preferred m$ at least they are a hardware company, and whatever you say about the company, the hardware was always top notch.
they have the know how, they have the experience, they have the connections, that have the factories in china.

facebook have farmville and adverts.

MS is not a hardware company. Their main focus has and always will be software.

We are now hosted on OVH Networks in France. Server being reconfigured and setup. Everything should be fully restored within 24 hours.

This community is just grand. The only thing I am running is an LFS server, so someone is upset I am doing this.

Can't wait to see more than just a teaser =]

Going to start a new insim from scratch using the InSim.NET library. Thanks for the time and replies here tho.

Due to known issues with insims using the LFS_External Library, UGC has decided to retire our old insim and start development on a new insim that uses the InSim.NET library. Development will be a little slow to start while I adjust to the different library but it should pick up in pace as development begins to progress.


Current KM's, Cars, and Cash will be transferred to this new InSim.

Our Website is Now Online!

Master server is spotty right now too.

Quote from Bose321 :

How are timers dependent on the library you use? Don't you just use System.Timer class that's inside C#?

Oh and 5 or 10 Euro to rewrite a complete insim will not happen, that wouldn't even cover an hour of work.

That is what I am trying to figure out. The only thing I am doing is deleting the reference and readding it from the new DLL, then using the new DLL after rebuilding, but for some reason, everything that is related to System.Timer class stops functioning like the timers do not work or something.

There are no errors when I running in debug or before compiling so I am pretty stumped as to what is going on at this point.

And I am not looking to rewrite the insim as everything works except the timers when I add the new library.

The problem I am having myself is, the timers stop working so anything that is based around timers do not function.

Is there a new way to handle timers with 1.1.1.7 LFS_External?

Today we are holding UF1 derbies all day. The last 2 cars standing get a in-game cash prize. 2nd to last car gets 1500, last car gets 3000.

Come join us if you want to let off some steam and crash some cars.

I was wondering, for a small fee (5-10 euro), would anyone be interested in helping me convert an insim to use LFS_External 1.1.1.7? I know it's outdated but I do not have time to write an entire new insim with Insim.Net, just trying to get this insim to stop crashing because of the known WOULD BLOCK issue.

Can you not do this here please?

Quote from Kristi :

Assetto Corsa being on Steam didn't really seem to attract new North American drivers, other than the already known names from the "less popular" racing simulators. It's something more complex than that, as you can see iRacing is pretty popular, even the Road Racing part, in the US. It's not even that advertised mainstreamly. I don't get it.

I think it's a combination of advertising, not being on a console (America loves Consoles (see Gran Turismo and Forza)), lack of shiny super ultra detailed graphics (America loves fancy things) and speed of development. There are probably a few other factors, but this would give a good idea what most American gamers I have played with look for in games.

Quote from CarlLefrancois :

a few days ago i showed the racing cockpit i built to some friends who were over at my house. neither of them had ever heard of LFS. basically they were stunned by their experience and were very surprised to hear the software only cost $50 and was several years old. they spent hours on the sim and had to tear themselves away when it got late.

basically, the average north american knows nothing of LFS and when introduced to it can find no flaw in the handling or physics. it's as real as it gets.

one friend mentioned the latest forza has a feature where you can rewind time if you screw something up, so you can redo the last few seconds of your driving to get it right. he thought that was pretty sad.

i pointed out that LFS wasn't very popular in north america because the average american just wants to win. they get online in LFS and lose repeatedly to faster europeans, then quit the game and go play gran turismo.

any new releases by scavier aren't going to change this. basically LFS will never be massively popular in the united states unless the US culture changes to one of modesty and honest hard work. there may be business models that will lead to success.

iRacing seems to have done something by becoming a status symbol and by encouraging slow driving. where else can you stay under the limit and win a race? people buy in to iracing because their laptime is within 0.1s of their idol's time on the oval (no limit problem there :P) hell even i can get with a few 0.1% of the wr time on ky1...

This is just a fantasy inside your head. The reason LFS isn't even remotely popular in the US is because of lack of advertising in the US. I am almost certain that is LFS went to Steam, it's popularity and use would rise significantly, but keeping that momentum alive would be up to the devs.

Quote from MousemanLV :

..just leave LFS as it is..If you still want to play it, then PLAY! If not, do not bother about the lack of progress in the past 5 years. The only individual at this point who's able to make a difference is Scawen...we currently can't do a single thing about it.

There actually is something we could do about it.

We are the ones keeping LFS alive, without the community provided servers and community provided improvements (skins, events, layouts, textures, insim apps) LFS would have nothing to stand on and would be seen the way most of us see it, dead.

There is always something that can be done when it is consumer driven.

After a 2 year vacation, UGC has been brought back. Stay tuned for more information.


Please refrain from unnecessary/rude/troll posts.

Quote from cargame.nl :

1 update a year, check the LFS frontpage. 1 update a year doesn't get the buzz moving.

It's over, only some fanboys here keep the spirit high but if you have a little real life experience you can draw conclusions that; family, kids, age and different hobby's equals end of story. The same dedication/focus cannot be reached. Especially which such an extremely small team.

Bingo. Welcome to LFS, professional cruise simulator.

I am interested.

Quote from Matrixi :

I'm talking about the development plans as a whole, rather than just Scawen in particular. Rest of the GTR interior updates and Rockingham come in to mind, announced when was it, 2008?

From what I've heard, the LFS track has been open this whole time to the public at the Rockingham race ciruit, just not for the paying customers at home. If that is not messed up, I don't know what is.

Could not have said it any better. If Rockingham is good enough for the actual track to run machines with LFS and Rockingham, it's damn good enough for the people that helped fund this entire project by providing funds through licenses and other products offered from LFS.

The fact that they continue to withhold new content over some concern regarding physics is just stupid. When the new physics come out, the entire game is going to change, including the play on the original content. What is wrong with allowing us to sorta give this "new" content a beta test and find problems such a texture, surface or wall issues like have been found on other tracks.

It would also give some sort of definitive hope that actual progress is being made and we aren't being fed some sort of false flag to keep new license purchases coming in.

I have been mostly quiet through the last few threads regarding this but decided to come back as I see more and more people are fed up with the way this Dev team is working.

Go to Steam, where Early Access to new content is now the norm in video game development.

The sooner Scavier realizes this and adopts this method, the better LFS will become.

When it takes you 5+ years to release anything new or even release something you have already announced, you need to set your pride aside and ask for help if you want you project to actually to stay a worthwhile project. If not someone else will beat you to the punch and release something 10 times better and well that will be the end to your little side project.


Let's face it, if you keep saying the same thing over and over like "we are still working on it" but do not deliver for over 5 years, your words are going to be nothing more than just words. Especially when there is content that could be released to show your appreciation for our continued support or even to just keep the interest alive for others.

I had a similar issue (same thing, crash when changing from window to full or vice versa) but I can't for the life of me remember what was causing it.

Does this happen all the time or only when you have other programs opened? I.E. Run LFS straight from a boot without TS, Steam, or anything else going.

*added* I remember to fix my issue I just did a clean install of LFS then loaded the backups of my layouts/setups/skins/textures. Have you tried running a fresh LFS install on this machine, Peter?
