People here are probably more interested in LFS being able to use all of the CPU cores and a few more major fixes, like the barrier bug so we could have normal layouts and maybe a possibility to damage car's engine...

Engine damage is already written into S2. Rev the nuts out of your engine and then carry on racing - you will not win.

Just trying to help you - You can still change the track by using Admin text starting with the / key. You can do everything else too.


Live for Speed command line options and text commands
=====================================================

Command line options :
----------------------
LFS can be started using a command line or another program.
A dedicated host mode is available with no hardware draw : "nogfx".
Before selecting host options, you may find it helpful to run LFS
and try out the options on the Start New Game screen - the required
upload bandwidth for those options is displayed on screen.
A command line or a command file is required for dedicated hosts.
NOTE - alternative way to use the command line options :
A command file xxx.txt can be used instead of a long command line.
The command file contains the command line parameters.
The parameters can be spread onto several lines.
The command file can contain comments, starting with two slashes //
Then the command line would be simply :
LFS /cfg=xxx.txt (where xxx.txt is the name of the config file)
/host=Host Name :FIRST IN LIST
/pass=Pass :if required - password
/admin=Pass :if required - admin password
/ip=X.X.X.X :if required - local specified ip address
/port=63392 :a high number below 65536
/mode=demo :demo / s1 / s2

The host commands are also available to any user who has connected to
the host using the admin password if one was specified when the host was
started.

To display a welcome message on a host :
----------------------------------------
Create a text file named "X.txt" in your LFS folder.
Type up to 200 characters into the text file.
Use the command /welcome=X.txt in your startup command line

To restrict the tracks allowed on a host :
------------------------------------------
Create a text file named "X.txt" in your LFS folder.
List all the tracks and configurations you want to allow.
Type one configuration on each line.
You must use the short name of the tracks :
[first two letters of name] [config number] [reversed]
Example :
BL1
BL1R
BL2
BL2R
FE1
FE1R
Use the command /tracks=X.txt in your startup command line

KY3 for the FO8 please? It has to be faster than 2.01?

I really do not understand the meaning of the OP's question?

With over 8-900 multiplayer LFS sessions active, who can say it's boring now?

LFS is still the most graphically realistic game there is - Period! The scenery is faultless and the gameplay is superb. Okay some of the collision effects need to be worked on it's true but on the whole, this game has no comparison with any other on P.C.

I used GT4 for a while on a PS2 and the graphics were fantasticly real, but game consoles will always outshine those for P.C.

I'd like to see the Nordshleife in LFS and more tracks too but the code is okay for me.

The problem with adding more features would mean higher spec computers to run them with. Not everyone is flush with cash to spare to chase them. Boredom only sets in because of a lack of participation, in my opinion.

On the 'Schumie' server we have longer races and mature competition participants.
Come on over and beat me, if you can, because if you don't, you have been beaten by a 70 year old and maybe that would be too hard on you?

Long Live LFS

You are more then welcome to our team, however I sadly can not replace the dates of the championship. However, the dates are already moved up a week because for the rest of March there is no race.

Maybe it's now possible for you to attend?

Looking forward to read your response.

Kind Regards,

And he is as old as he says he is.

At first I didn't believe it aswell untill he showed me his face on the webcam.

And he's well into the sim racing, he organises the Bi-Weekly BF1 Series, a series I have been safety car in for quiet some time, I enjoyed every second of the great time I had with him, Brian, and the others!


Thanks for your kind words rocklan, so nice to read genuine comment's.

Other old farts are welcome to join us here http://racing.lefora.com/ Your more than welcome. We also use 'Teamspeak 3' for banter and Comms.
