Like with most problems on public servers, the only real solution is to drive on private hosts. Try to take part in organised races. It doesn't have to be a league, there are enough just-for-fun-races where you can just hop in and drive.

Crazy Brits. illepall

While racing at Fern Bay Rallyx Green we encountered a strange lag problem. Suddenly all cars except yourself disappeard and you were driving on your own. The lagbars remained normal and no one got kicked from the server. Everyone was driving for his own with the position list still showing the correct times. Chatting was still possible as well. To me it looks like somehow the TCP pakets got through but not the UDP player pakets.

The server remained in this state even after serveral race restarts and going back to the lobby. Only a hard-reset of the dedi host could fix the problem.

I've attached the replays. In the first one the bug happend during the race, the other two were recorded after the race restart.

Try to take part in organised races. The racing is much better there.

Just install Windows 98 or XP on a second partition. It's better for gaming anyway.

I only want chassis flex if Scawen is able to do it in a way that we don't need a 3 ghz PC just to run LFS with one car.

C++ is a programming language. You can either program everything by ourself (including the 3D and physic engine) or use ready made physic/graphic engines.

I think the ladder is what you are looking for. Take a look at the rsc community project "Motorsport" for an example what is possible:
http://www.motorsport-sim.org/

Well, C++ is the language most of today's games are written in (LFS as well). But it's not as easy as you might think. You can get some C++ compilers for free, but the actual programming is the hardest part.

I also got such a AI pb message some time ago (with no AI on the server), but forgot to save the replay.

I'm using the Clickteam installer for the german LFS S2 CD. It works pretty well as you don't have to manually extract and create shortcuts anymore. In contrast to most of today's installers it doesn't write anything into the registry or put any files in other directories (except the icons).

Quote from Krane :

If LFS wouldn't always load the last used track area, it would start much faster.

I'm casting another vote to skip the track loading on startup if possible. Most times you want to race on another track/server so LFS loads a new track anyway.

I'm having the same problem for some time now. I'm too lazy to send the wheel back to Logitech, so I'm waiting for the G25 and use the shifter on the right.

Quote from Tweaker :

Yes and also it shows that typical 'offroad' reaction where the car usually bounces up and down in the grass illepall. Happens all the time when a car goes in the grass on rFactor... it is like some pre defined effect when the ground/grass is really just flat, so stupid.

Sorry to disappoint you, but LFS uses a pre defined offroad effect as well, some sort of micro bumps. But it's probably better done so you hardly notice it.

Uups, looks like I totally missed your birthday.

So... Happy Birthday Tristan!!! :laola:

As a birthday present you can still keep my t-shirt for some months.

But the first digit is missing.

I'm so glad to be a LFS fanboy.

Quote from SimAQ.com :

So, ISI got the nod to create the mod to help the F1 team promote themselves and their sponsors… which includes Intel. The bad news for race sim fans is that this mod won't be available for home use any time soon, as it's a privately commissioned mod for BMW/Sauber's corporate use.

I'm pretty sure they've already finalised the design and will start the production soon. So it won't be possible to make such design changes.

It's not a question if LFS is "pop" enough to be at the E3. It's just a question of the marketing budget. Companys like Simbin/EA spend huge amounts of money for marketing and can afford to buy a 301. The LFS devs on the opposite concentrate on the core development of the game which is the right decision for a team of only 3 people.

It's more likely they will be blown away by GTR 2 in the 301.

I'm pretty sure that these terms are exactly the "release it for public", because Victor mentioned this in the Autosimsport interview. The rFactor version features a Nürburgring track as well. But this track would have to be licensed by the Nürburgring GmbH, so we probably won't see it in the public rfactor.

It's the question how accurate this list is. For example "Uses data from tire manufacturers". At the moment it only lists which tyre manufacturers are present in the game. We don't know if the developers got any data from them, so this is very vague.

The german LFS players use the following Teamspeak server:
IP: 195.4.16.241:10172
pw: lfsde

If you are interested, I could open an english-speaking channel as well.

Open the file data\language\English.txt. Save it under the name of your language and it will show up in the list.

When you are finished, you can post your translation here, so it will be included in the next patch:

Quote from Becky Rose :

Do Ryanair fly to Germany?

Yep, they do.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

and GP4Flo are the karts in germany twin engined on a 1km track? if they are then maybe thats something to think about for 2007

No, outdoor tracks with such karts are usually more expensive as well. Btw, will we get proper clothing and safety stuff there? I've never driven such fast karts.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

so thats £50 a piece

Your karttracks in England are very expensive. What about if you all come to Germany? You can get a 2 hour race for 50 euro here, more than 1/2 of your price.
