Quote from Byku :I am after locking certain setup options by server. Simply when joining this server, our client would automaticly download it's deafult setup options for locked... setup options. So on my server I could setup Tyre Pressure to 1,8bar and lock in on that, and when a client would join, in his setup the tyre pressure would be changed to 1,8bar and locked.

I strongly disagree with server side setup locking, if we are talking about public ones. If the server is passworded, then go for it, but letting each host define own limits would be a total chaos, like Ca18Slider described.

But we desperately need global limitations for the road cars at least!

USA wins basketball, China does surprisingly well and Sweden beats Finland.
Boring stuff IMO.

You could replace the headlights with scale models of the Smart Car, only improving the looks.

Quote from titanLS :TVU Player, channel 53060 "wheels"

Bernie usually unplugs it at the first minute of qualifying and race.

There are ITV streams for F1 though, but their presentation is far off Speed quality.

Sopcast is a P2P broadcasting software that also works in linux, but I can't recommend it since the commentary is chinese and quality worse or similar than youtube.

Hey, nice to see the famous wacko licensed now

If you're faster than AI, you're definitely fast enough for online racing. Don't try to keep up with the others right away, pick an easy car & track combo and just drive at your own pace trying to keep out of the way. You'll finish in the midfield in no time!

Quote from Postman Pat :Re: online racing; begging the question about the intelligence of a big portion of the demoracers (from what I hear anyway), I have now realised that one can truly experience LFS's main purpose when his rivals have a unique account they don't want to get a bad reputation by behaving like kids. But the AI is there, and really pointless compared with almost anything, but racing against computer programs is actually less fun than having some fun with yourself..so to speak.

I took the freedom to correct your opinion

What comes to your issue, have you tried downloading a fresh copy of LFS? That's an easy quick fix for many problems, since you don't need to install anything.

It's good to have some cruise servers, otherwise the kids would be on our racing tracks!
And when they grow up, they might jump into racing.

Quote from kirmy :i think your going to have to do a little searching here mate

Ok, his last post indicated the reason (a harsh personal insult).

But I've often checked the last posts of a banned user and saw nothing that would be a reason to ban, because obviosly the posts were deleted (sorry, can't think of any usernames right now).
Why were they banned?

This isn't the first time I notice a forum regular getting banned without ever seeing or being able to find the reason. If moderators are kind enough, they could give us some answers in this OT-thread.

To get the ball rolling, why was dawesdust_12 banned?

Quote from RudiTurbo :But this just prooves that BL is a good track: People didnt drive BL for a while and after they got tired of the S1 tracks, people crawled back to Blackwood it was THE MOST DRIVEN track in S1 despite being there as the only one for the whole demo . And wtf just checked the track charts, it still leads in S2. eh

As I agree that BL is a good track (especially now with the new 1st sector and less width), I think that this just proves MataGuyla's point about humans rather than Blackwood's superiority as a racing track.

I would have liked to see Steven Seagal as Max
Oh those priceless bullet time scenes...


BTW, does Poets of the Fall have a role in the movie soundtrack?

Yes, a new config!
I'm really interested in fantasying about more Aston tracks.
(BTW there's this one part where the two corners join apart, you're supposed to avoid head-on collisions there. A Little bit of challenge you know)

If the thread title is not descriptive, or if it mentions "new" ideas, you can be pretty sure that the suggestions are mostly rubbish.


1. A rather fresh idea, I'd like it! A "cool" intro of actual gameplay that would show some action from drag to drifting and rallycross and F1 racing, and stress the awesome physics.

2. Some New Update Ideas?

3. +- 0, I don't think the music is important, and have turned it off. But on the other hand, I'm quite sure it will change along the way to S3 final.

4. Lucklily I don' t know what the hell do you mean, but the words tuning and drifting scare me. Also see number 2.

5. You have so many colors in your name that it becomes too long? Sorry, I'd rather not to see that even longer and more colorful above your car. But as all the teams use a tag, I'd like this one integrated to LFS World. Every team could choose a 5 letter tag, which would be attached automatically in front of the drivers who are defined as members.

6. Aren't autocross objects enough? Would you like the devs to build ramps, nets and loops for you instead of collision physics or new tracks.

7. Longer walls +1

8. A simulation tyre? Would it simulate a 7 year old all-season tyre?


Well, all of them weren't rubbish, but you could still guess from the title, what kind of thread this would be. -I think

Quote from bunder9999 :it's a key, not a button. you're turning the ignition off, then back on.

Really?
That explains, thanks!

edit: But... Are we then racing the starter motor "on" all the time?

Somebody heard our prayers when we noticed that F1 is interesting on wet only.
I wonder if Max is going to appear at the pits?

Nvidia 6800 GT that has been running at > 100 degrees celcius for several months. Can play LFS fine for 3-5 laps until it starts to struggle.

I work as an ICT professional (even though I don't have enough craftmaship or balls to call myself one, maybe some day) for a company that provides IT and network solutions for all kinds of customers from small business to big industrial corporations.

@kamo2000, that would be technical support I guess. Almost same thing as I do.
