You don't. You can report users to server owners and admins but not really a whole server, they can pretty much do what they like as they paid for it, it's nothing that the devs have that much control over, well they do but you know what I mean, they don't get involved unless it something super, super serial.

I thought those competitions gave away new S2 accounts not a used and dirty account

I think PM would be the best way to discuss any issue you have with this.

Quote from BurnOut69 :

All these people wanting to get rid of the track are really amusing, if overtakings were the deciding factor to choose tracks, 90% of the ones we have now wouldnt be there...

I think it's more the fact that it's a brand new track and it just hasn't added any excitment to F1.

Hopefully next year and new rules will bring more over taking possiblities.

You don't need/want filters on exhaust fans.

Quote from AK-Chester :

Oh, there were highlights? Must have been during the commercial breaks then.

You don't make skins if you open the .jpg or .dds files anyway you would be editing them if you did that.

And that's not really the best way to do as you really need to ask before editing someone elses skin or at least check if it's public and can be edited.

To make a skin its best to start off with one of the master skinnerz kits, http://www.lfs-gear.com/kitz.html, and check out all the advice and tutorials on the skins section of the forum here http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=29 and master skinnerz its self http://skinnerz.proboards26.com/index.cgi?

Quote from BlueFlame :

What do people in this thread mean when they call it a boring track.... If you drove this track for real, you would be on the seat of your pants ffs, it's an awesome track. Whether or not it will provide good racing or not is a different thing, but how can you say it's boring, the final sector, before the final corner is breathtaking.... And that's not even talking about the pit-lane EXIT!

What has driving the track got to do with anything? We're not driving the track are we! The whole point is that it should provide good, exciting racing to watch, which it could, but when I first saw the track it looked dull, just like the other wide open F1 tracks When you think of street tracks you think of something a little more exciting or full of features, something with a little more soul.

Just seen some of the practice sessions and I was more than a little dissapointed with the track, I dunno what I was really expecting but it just looks empty and dull and I wouldn't call it a street circuit.

Just another massive, boring F1 track

Hopefully with all the cars on track during the race it will prove to be better.

You do know the irony of your post?, you posting that, just makes you no better than the people you are trying to berate

Not really as this thread seems to be dropping into the arguing (again) about cruising side of things, which seems to be getting worse and worse.

I don't have an answer but I agree with Strobe.

They are all PC to TV, i want TV to PC

Aren't they the same thing!

Why not just backup the important stuff, delete everything and install a new clean copy.

Easier than going through everything and picking out individual files or folders.

....after about 5 minutes you'll really want 95 off your psp.

Quote from vipex123 :

yeah well, before banning, they should atleast say go onto another server... and you get banned for hardly anything, you ban people instead of a warning kick.

You shouldn't have to be warned. You are not the only person on a server, your behaviour effects what could be 20 or more other people.

Just race clean, obey the rules and there shouldn't be any problems.

Quote from NoYPiDRiFTER :

I ran out of unlocks, at my aunt's house without my wheel I tested Y30, and I came back to Y to play with some friends and I came home to my wheel and I wanted to do some more testing and I can't go online... Scawen Please give me one more unlock... Thanks.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=845957#post845957

If you read the test patch posts and the warnings then you wouldn't have made such a mistake and be left with no unlocks.

Sorry guy, no sympathy at all.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Well actually i never looked at LFS wheel manual, just had a scan from the link and i chnaged my wheel settings in the device options not the edit/xxx hmmm need to have a play with this and if i can't get it to work ill use programs kiss me sent me, the system restore didn't work btw

I didn't think it would.

You'll be much better off figuring out what settings you like so you know what to do in the future.

System Restore - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Its not how i have it though, i liked it the way it was, when i set it the same i have to turn too much and its hard to make small movements of the wheel. Well i found it on my recent documents on RUN but it wont open it... Wel it hasnt say it wont but nothing has happened.

Then set the wheel rotation in game to less so that you don't have to turn the wheel as much.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

I remeber most of them 200 in profiler 540 in-game 10FFB 0 return rate etc but still doesn't feel the same im 70% sure my rotation is correct but the wheel in game turns alot more than mine, although its always been like that and i like it but now its turns a bit too much. Fells stiff too.

Is there anyway to get it back? or can i not get it back? Im on XP btw

You need to set the profiler rotation and in game rotation the same.

I use 540 as well and overall strength 103% and centre spring to 15% but that more personal preference.

Quote from harjun :

i've never heard of anything being too big to fit in a recycling bin

The recycle bin has a set size, depending on the size of your hard drive, normally a few gig.

As LFS doesn't add any registry stuff there is no need to uninstall like other application so you can just delete it. When you uninstall things it doesn't use the recycle bin.

Taking into account all the skins, setups any add-ons and replays it could easily get over a 2 or 3 gig which would make it too big for the recycle bin and you'd be told that and ask to permanently delete it. And you can't serach for something that been deleted.

I don't know if system restore would work how you want it do but it MIGHT be worth a try. If you just need wheel settings it might be best to just ask for help with that, then for next time you know what to do.

Quote from gezmoor :

So would I, it would be very odd otherwise... just as odd as having deformed wings but no affect on down force as is currently the case !

What I meant was, given that the modelling of the wings actually falling off is some way a way. I would much rather the devs just updated the physics modelling to approximately match the graphics aero damage that currently already exsits in the game on single seaters. I would much rather see that now, than wait for it to be implemented with what I believe is essentially a graphical improvement, (ie the wing actually detatching). It doesn't have to be accurate aero modelling just a rough approximation of loss relative to the kind of damage incurred. eg half bent front wing = 50% loss of down force etc. Just that in itself would be a huge step forward in realism for the single seaters IMHO.

Don't really want some half arsed guess and have more hot laps than are absolutely necessary delete now and then again later when the arse arsed bodge is updated again. Best wait until it can be done correctly and properly the first time rather than adding stuff that isn't finished or correct and will just need to be fixed later. It will just cause less hassle from those who don’t want hot laps deleting.

People should actually read the first post and then also read the post in the test patch to discover what is actually in this update.

Also asking for stuff or more info about what’s coming is never going to get an answer and is just pointless.

Apart from that, glad to see some movement and recognition of people thoughts and worries about what's happening with LFS.

Good job and thanks.

There just isn't many S1 servers. People just buy S2.

Patch Y means that demoers have the XFG, XRG and FBM ONLY!

If you have additional cars then you are using something you shouldn't or something has gone wrong.

The easiest thing to do would be to either remove anything you've added to LFS or download a new, clean version and use that.

Quote from NikLaw :

Maybe the devs should change this to get more people into development like paying 2 pounds a month for faster improvements. Everyone who can afford a computer to run LFS can pay this.

That’s not true at all. People will have been brought their computers and LFS, people won’t be able or have the ability to pay monthly or the simple fact that they just cannot afford to have an additional monthly cost.

There are a million reasons why what may seem like a very small amount is just a step to far. To say everyone can afford it is to simplistic.

...and not forgetting those who just don't want to pay more money.

I have 2 harddrives, 1 for the operating system and 1 for everything else. Plus a 3rd that I use to back stuff up but I only plug it in when it's needed.

You just plug it in and format it, job done.

In XP or Vista for example all you need to do is right click on the drive you want to format and then click Format.
