Yet another artifact report
I also noticed a tiny amount of artifacts on Y22 yesterday. I've never ever experienced artifacts in LFS before on any PC (with one exception - but that time the graphics card was dying). Since I was using a laptop yesterday (IBM Thinkpad T60) which is not really intended for gaming I did not bother reporting it here until i saw the other reports just now.
OS: Windows XP SP2
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon XP1300
Driver: 8.293.1.0 (Yes, they're ancient but bear in mind I do not usually run games on this computer).

Dear community!
This week our team officially celebrates its 2nd anniversary. That's right, the LFS racing team Fred Loves Pie (FLP/r) has now been around for more than two years.
Cheezy Biography featuring a sneaky list of accomplishments* and driver presentations.
The team was formed by me and filur (who are both Swedes, 26 and 24 years old respectively) shortly after Richard Torp's 2nd season of DRC ended in the spring of 2006 (in which filur finished 3rd by the way). Later that year we recruited Jens O, a 18 year-old student from Germany. In the world of LFS Jens is currently managing the team in the oneGP - F1 World Series. I'm not sure how keen he is on actually driving one of those things given the fact that he is actually using a mouse!
On the other hand, he's definitely one of the fastest and cleanest "mousers" around, just check out one or two (or more) of his pure racing videos!Later the same year we strengthened the team by merging with the all-danish team known as Momentum. When our teams merged we replaced the "/r" (as in racing) in our team tag with "/m" (as in Momentum). Together we took part in single events such as the Grand opening of the team Hart of Racing, leagues such as The Danish Championship and perhaps more importantly the 2006 season of The Original LF ... "Drivers' Decathlon. By finishing 3rd in the team championship of said league we realized that we actually were (and still are) rather skilled racers.
After OLFSL we signed up for LXCC - The LX Clubsport Challenge organized by axus and some of the other dear old blokes of vMaxSR. The series ended in the first quarter of 2007 and thanks to filur's outstanding performances in the LX4 we were able to grab the 3rd place.
Shortly after the LXCC series had ended our danish friends from Momentum left FLP, having new projects on the horizon. No tears were shed, however, because shortly after having dropped the "/m" in our team tag and re-fitting it with the good old "/r" we spotted a new potential member of the team. Jouman, who is a 25 year old Finnish bloke had just purchased S2 when we met him online. Luckily for us he accepted our invitation to join the team, because today he is incredibly competitive! Just yesterday he brought home another trophy by winning the 7th season of Torsdagsrace.
In the end of 2006 we launched our own project called What's Cookin'. Filur wrote an insim-application which randomly selected a car or car class, a track enviroment and set the race conditions. We used the application to randomly select a combo 45 (iirc) minutes before the race start. It was great fun for several weeks but the project was put on hold as we wanted to focus on the upcoming attractions. Read on:
Filur, Jens, Jouman and I were participating in the 2007 season of OLFSL, all very determined to do even better than the year before. The team was doing rather well, but in June we were all put in place by some guy called ergin. What else could we do than ask him join the team?
Said and done, ergin (who is a turkish 21-year-old living in Germany) joined the gang. Thanks to our new recruit we were able to finish first in the team championship of OLFSL.We spent the rest of 2007 participating in various organized events and endurance races such as DPRT's Midnight Race and a 3 hour GTR race called "Klappjakten". Of course we won both!
This year we've taken part in several seasons of Torsdagsrace, battling it out with Swedish teams such as NRG, SCR, SOR, SRS and TPC (it really is an awesome league). But more importantly a new driver joined the team! In February Patrick Bateman officially raced under the green and white FLP colors for the very first time. Patrick, who is 17 a year-old student from The Netherlands is currently representing the team in the aforementioned oneGP series.
There you have it! A nice couple of paragraphs of shameless self-promotion and name-dropping for you all to ponder and reminisce upon. Of course there are loads of stuff I couldn't be bothered to mention, but on behalf of FLP I'd like to thank all the league organizers, clean racers, programmers, artists, forum moderators and other driving forces of the LFS community. This place would be rather dull without you.
Onward and upward!

Reason : grammar, what else? :)
Options -> Display -> Message text size ?
There - Took the liberty of correcting your spelling!
Nicely done! Altough the FPS seems to be low at times (XRR@FE clip, ~00:54). I like that you covered all of the S2 vehicles. Great footage, too.
Too bad there's no engine sounds though. The music reminds me of Battlefield 1942.

Actually, the join date displays what date you registered at lfs.net (which is necessary when purchasing a license), NOT when you first activated your forum account. If the latter was the case there wouldn't be any join dates prior to 2005.

In October 2004 the minimum system requirements were:
1 Ghz or better with a recent graphics card.
Today they're:
1 GHz CPU, 128 MB memory, 3D graphics card.

Good stuff. This is why I love fridays (well ...).
However, the "return" button of the escape menu says "end race". Perhaps it should say "end replay"?

So? Even if it was based on a Porsche 911 it would not have to be a 4WD. But it doesn't matter.
The reason I pointed the difference out was because gekkibi seemed to have read too much into what was written in the wiki. It is important that things like these are sorted so people won't be disappointed as they unlock S2 expecting something that's not there.

Wrong! It says it is resembling a Porsche 911. There's quite a difference.
Unless the speed test is lying your upload bandwidth is approximately 500 kb (kilobit). That means that, in theory, you'll only be able to host one full server allowing 13 cars on track and one spectator at 4 PPS. At most!
All according to this formula:
(4*0.09375)*((14*13)-13) = 63.37500 Kilobyte/sec upload required. Now lets multiply that figure by 8 to get the numbers in kilobit.
63.37500 * 8 = 507 Kilobit/sec upload required.Good luck!

If IGA in the form of billboards would make it possible for us to seal a deal with a sponsor which could provide a service that would be relevant to our community (such as web- or game server hosting) I would not hesitate to use it.
We're currently using an Insim button to display a banner for 60 seconds as you connect to server. Even though only one single person has had a complaint I'd much rather use billboard advertising. (FYI the person in question withdrew his complaint when he realized that displaying that particular banner had made it possible for us to upgrade our previously struggling server).

In LFS, press and hold ctrl+shift to turn the FPS display into a clock. That clock displays the exact times of the events in the replay - not the current real world time.
I guess he might have tried to embed a youtube video, which isn't possible on this forum. Here's the actual link to the clip.
The skin-pack has now been updated for patch Y meaning the FBM is finally covered. I'm terribly sorry it took so long but I've been busy being lazy.
See post #1 for more info and download links.

Do you really think Scawen hasn't thought of that? I seriously doubt that those notices will appear in this case.
By the way, I welcome the recent changes whole-heartedly, both as an admin and a racer. Keep it up!
LFS-Tune is the only application available for patch Y. If you want to use LFSTweakS2 you need to use an older version of LFS (0.5V).
As described in swediish here.

Very nice, EK!
How about making use of LFS slogans (the online racing simulator. / No arcade modes, no steering aids. YOU have to do the driving.) and printing the full website address?
Last summer I was promoting LFS at my local kart track and I'm planning to do the same thing this summer. I've got permission to put up some posters and I'm thinking some more info on them wouldn't hurt. What do you think?

Yes,
0 = no filter
1 = filters chat
2 = filters chat and system messages (like "x left the pits" etc.)

If you're making a video perhaps you'd like to remove the actual chat lines as well?
You can do so by changing MPR Message Block 0 to MPR Message Block 2 in cfg.txt.

25 laps per forum post. I'm not quite sure what that makes me ...

I'm quite surprised to see that such a large number of racers have names turned on! I might tap the N key a few times if I'm about to lap someone and would like to know who it is before I do. Other than that I never race with names above cars. The position list is enough for me to work out who's who.
