Yup the S1H7 download available in the LFS Download archive seems to work great.

So will we set any start times for "big" races or will we just be doing pick up races during the weekend?

I was planning just to do pick up races today, just as a test, as I have never hosted a S1 server, and wanted to make sure it worked ok, then we can do times and dates for bigger races.

The Server is now up and running, but I have password-ed it. I will be sending a message to let you know the password shortly, so if your about tonight and fancy a giggle, then come along.

Only thing to remember, this is Max 16 slots. This is LFS Limitation, not mine

Fordie

anybody about to help me test this now?

Fordie

yep just logged out and re-joined?

Quote from kamo2000 :

I'm getting Unknown Track error while trying to get on Your server :/

hmm ok, i am on it now LOL

There will be a race in the future, just was testing it tonight, if anybody was interested.

I have a dedicated S1_H7 server ( running from my PC ) that I can load up, as this is what people seem to want to use, instead of the full S2 with maximum slots available.

I am happy to go with what ever, but bear in mind:

I run a server of S1_H7 it will be max 15 slots (This is a LFS limitation, and will include the old South City Classic with rail tracks and old style physics....a lot of fun if you ask me

or

My hosted server will be S2, max 47 slots with the updated tracks and physics

I am only doing this for pure enjoyment and for us all to have some good old fashioned fun, so its your choice

Server up and running using S1_H7 patch

You mean this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... A7oU&feature=youtu.be

Yes, just recorded it and it was great fun, bit scary with the MRT "Launching" it in to the chicane but made me smile when the car landed, and you planted the accelerator

Fordie

Quote from JackDaMaster :

MRT @ SO1 anyone? (preferably played in S1 with proper railway tracks :tilt

I have just been playing with that, and OMG those tracks right at the beginning of the chicane....Hairy Drive

The only problem is, I can only host 15 ( Maximum LFS will allow for S1H)

But it is good fun, I must admit

Fordie

PS - I can bring a server up tonight if you chaps want, for a bit of a giggle. You will have to download S1_H7 though.

Quote from Dennis93 :

We should Deffo use one of the S1 patches... perhaps S1H.

Do you mean S1H7 ?

Quote from NukeLane :

Oh boy..Just read my mail and it said you got a new pm from lfs.net.
Lol...
I still have my wheel but it is sitting in the box for dunno how many years haha.. I'm still in contact with loads of my old team through Facebook.

Well best you get it out of that box, and give a quick calibrate. Would be great to see you back on a race track LOL

Quote from felplacerad :

Gah! Stupid 1 month difference. But I actually started playing LFS in 2003. Do I qualify then?

Of course, your part of the furniture HA HA HA

Quote from troy :

Edit: Almost forgot, calling Vykos a broadcaster is not doing it justice really, he was the unpaid LFS PR guy in Germany, raising awareness, getting on TV, organizing events and a hundred other things I've missed or which never surfaced publicly.

The ultimate unsung Hero, even though his dancing skills was a bit iffy LOL

I won't bore you all with the details, but explain this to me.

My wife works for Local Government, and has had a pay freeze for the past 4yrs, due to national debt crisis, but yet, the Government are awarding themselves with a 11% pay increase on average

Do what?

Rudi, we are still the unbeaten Tag Team Champions !!!!

Quote from CarlLefrancois :

i hope by classic layouts you don't mean actual S1 physics too does anyone still have any good setups for that (no high nose)? either way it'd be fun to grace the rear of your server's pack

Unless everybody downloads the same version, we cannot repeat the S1 physics, and to be honest, I would not want to...its moved on from then, but by classic, I was going along the road of classic tracks, with combo's, i.e So Classic Rev, GTI/XRG, Green, Gold, TBO etc etc

Quote from P1lot :

Might be a bit elitest to exclude anyone newer (it's not their fault)
It'll probably end up more chatting than racing!

I don't mean this to be an "elitest" race, but a place for us "oldies" to get together and swap some paint.

Quote from Flotch :

3s slower than the WR ...

Cool, that gives me a chance

Fordie

Wow nice going Rudi, and nice to see you win on another sim, multi-talanted LOL

Flotch, I will take you up on that, dust off that wheel, and get ready for some "Old Skool Classic Combo's"

Orion if you look here, there is loads I have uploaded http://www.youtube.com/user/LFSFordman

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

I'd mostly likely try to make this work. Being on the wrong side of the pond might be an issue depending on what y'all decide. Just remember I need 2 weeks of practice

Start now then....
