Quote from CodieMorgan :When u buy a license u have to accept the terms.

more Text.... of all the already mentioned things.
.

This is getting ridiculous.

I already said more then once that I do understand the thing behind the license system!

But that my opinion is that as a customer we should just ignore this kinds of attempts from the industry to restrict our rights. Just imagine in the future we don´t buy the Cars, we just buy an license to start and drive the Car. We pay the same amount of money like we pay at the moment but we are not allowed to sell the car. Wouldn´t that be nice for BMW/AUDI/Mercedes and all the other Companies out there.

It is not that difficult to understand what I am writing, even If you have an other opinion you still should be able to understand like I do understand what your point is, but just disagree.

To bad nobody else on the Formula Server

Fox Junkies saved the day, of course nobody is on your server seems like every single formula fan is on the FoxJunkies Server..

But still a good idea and I hope you guys have success with this.

Quote from wlijiu :-Okey, sorry for all the miss understoods. Now I've solved the question myself. But thanks for the answers

Well actually I would say bmwracer67 was the one to solve the problem for you.

Quote from bmwracer67 :No, 24 pounds is 27 euros, not 17! So they're selling it more cheaply

Quote from richo :I sell software for a living and i totally agree with you that you should be able to sell it , that's not how reality works unfortunately and as Bob said your license was for you and you alone.

I do know that but I ignore it, and not in every Country are the same laws so what is allowed in the USA don´t have any affect in Germany for example...

Quote :Still LFS isnt as bad as say Microsoft , if we build a person a new PC we are by law not allowed to transfer that license to the customers new PC even though they have a retail copy of Windows and the old pc is decomissioned by us. Thats not do say it doesnt happen..

How pissed would you be if be if LFS took that approach?

I live in Germany so there were also things MS tried years ago in Germany but it just was against the law!

They tried some years ago to forbid selling of (I think it was the oem version of WIndows) Windows OEM without Hardware. Well bad luck for MS all the shit written in their license wasn´t worth the digital Paper it was written on. So the onlineshops still kept selling the Windows Oems without hardware.

But even if it was ok with the german law you always have the choice:

Buy it and accept all license blabla written.

Don´t buy it and don´t use it.

Don´t buy it but still use it (not legal still you can do it)

Buy it but ignore what is written in the license if it is Bullshit (yeah that would then be like I do it. )

Quote from Bob Smith :You did not pay for the software. It is not yours. You received no box, nothing tangable in any way. You can download the software for free, you just paid for a licence to use all the features.

I do know that the Publisher/Developers wan´t it to be like that but I just don´t care about it and if I ever lose the interest on LFS and somebody wan´t to buy it from me I would sell it.

There are People that say don´t suport such companys (there was always a big discussion about Valve and Steam) and then they boycott the product. Well it is a way to to let the companys know what the people think of their license.. but I go the other way I don´t want to miss the great game HL2 so I bought it and just ignore the bullshit written in the license.

Quote :That licence is very personal, and although many statistics can be erased (LFS World for example), other cannot be done so easily (reputation, server bans, master server bans, forum posts, third party licence system details, etc).

Also, if you were to sell your licence, there is absolutely nothing to prevent you keeping your two legitimate unlocked copies of LFS unlocked, thereby you have circumvented the licencing system and could have the account closed, so both parties lose out.

So you definitely should give a shit about the licence that you agreed to before payment was accepted from you.

When you buy used stuff there is always a risk to it and you better know if you can trust the seller or not. But this risk won´t stop the people of buying used stuff.

Well the customers should never ever give a shit on such limitations.

If you buy a game it is yours (whatever the Publisher say about license shouldn´t matter for you and clearly will not for me!) and if you lose the interest on the game you should be allowed to sell it!

This was really a big let down reading that the Developers of Live for Speed also try like some others to forbid their customers to sell the game they paid for.

Well looks like today Google isn´t my friend can´t find Netkar Namie only Netkar pro.

Live for Speed tracks for other games?

Well are there any "remakes" of the Live for Speed tracks for other games?

I searched but never found one. So I did a small track inspired by Blackwood, its "quick and dirty" but still fun. So I was wondering if anyone did ever a quality remake?

Here is a Video of my "blackwood", I know the road is not smooth I also made one with a smooth road but this one is more fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmDulbBGztg&fmt=18

Here is a video of the other part of the map I made. So you have two in one, Blackwood GP and this curvy track with two ramps for stunts.

And here is a downloadlink if you wan´t to try it out.

I don´t know if there are already slicks for the BF1, but next season the Formula 1 will use again slicks so if anyone know where I can find them it would be great.

Or if anybody could do it if there are no slicks for the BF1. Or is it possible to just copy the tyres of the FO8 and use it for the BF1?



Edit: It seems it´s not that difficult because there is already a slick tyre, so I just copied it over the F1 Tyre.

Downloaded Gimp, then the dds Plugin for Gimp and just edited the Tyres.dds in the DDS Folder with Gimp.



Is it possible to make the tyres darker?

edit2: well now I tried used the dds File you made for henrico-20- there the slicks are darker.



Well, now I have at least the slicks for the F1 (quick and dirty but it works), if there is a way to do it better I would love to download.

Ok thx people. Too sad that there aren´t enough players that want to drive the BF1.

The league is an idea but, it´s the wrong thing for me. I can´t drive when ever I wan´t to because lack of time.

My nick is funRacer and I just race for fun.

Why not BF1?
funRacer[83]
S2 licensed
Can somebody explain me why nobody is driving the BF1? The BF1 was one of the reasons why I bought LFS.

It was really cool to watch the Formel 1 and after that drive self with the BF1 cars in LFS. But it is really difficult to find a Server with enough players to have a nice race.

The only BF1 server that always have players on is . I know oval can sometimes be a little bit boring, but if there are enough players on the server it is great fun.

But again, I understand that the FOX is a great car and it is also fun to drive with it, but why is it so much more popular than the BF1?

Quote from tristancliffe :What was it (for future reference, so we can help people more effectively)?

for me it still sounds like he was playing the demo.

Or he was on a Server where only some cars were allowed.

When you go online you have to chose between Demo, S1 and S2. This sound like you are playing the demo.

Quote from Jakg :have you actually tried it, because it will use port 80 to unlock it which is what a browser uses, and then it will unlock no problem

Of course I did. The Port that I have to use is 8080 so I tried with "Port 8080 1" also, but still it didn´t work.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :Well where I am at university uses a HTTP proxy to connect to the net, and I am able to unlock LFS fine here.

That is cool for you, but why are you telling me that? Do you belive I am lying or what is the point? I really tried it, but it doesn´t work for me. I am at the moment at home here I can activate it (DSL6000 no probs at all) but at the Uni every damn Prog is blocked. I even had to use a trick to use xfire.

xfire --> putty--> Proxy --> my Root SErver --> xfire login Server.

I would like to try that with LFS also, but I need the LFS login Server IP and the Port. With some luck it maybe would work. Or is there another way?

Quote from xWolFx :Why not just unlock it on your other machine also,

I am telling you that I can´t unlock it and you are telling me that I should unlock it, are you kidding?

The Problem
--------------------------------------
with a broswer there are no Problems I just set it up to use the Proxyserver.

Browser--> ProxyServer --> internet

But LFS is trying to connect direct to the Internet

LFS --> Internet

That won´t work, I have to tell LFS to use the damn proxyserver. But I can´t.
--------------------------------------

@vain

Nope that won´t work also.


Have somebody the IP of the Masterserver? I could try something else with putty and a root server if I know the Port and IP of the server that LFS need to connect to unlock the game.
Unlocking LFS2 behind a Http Proxy?

Is it possible to activate LFS behind a http Proxy? Or if not, I have an old Image of WinXP If I can export somehow the information that I already unlocked the game and import it again in my new WinXP install that would be great too.

Is that possilble? It´s the same pc I didn´t even changed the hardware. Same CPU/GPU/RAM/HARDisk and so on..

Anybody here an idea?
