Quote from The Moose :

Dont mistake newbies that still haven't found their brake pedal with wreckers.

There are still a lot of the former in S2, but very few of the latter.
I don't remember the last time i saw a wrecker in S2.

Yeah. Sometimes on rare occasion you get a small incedent but usally ends with them saying "Sorry" and giving you their position if they gained any.

Quote from joen :

What´s your problem? Are you always this easily offended? I merely said that a lot of people never look past "the big servers", which is a fact.

I only encouraged other server owners to report in this thread as well, so they could be included on your list. None of my words were directed at you personally or your effort.



I won´t. Have a nice day.

When you said report I thought you ment having their server names used without their permission....jesus im stupid. Sorry about that then. Its 5AM where I am and havent gone to sleep yet

Quote from gentlefoot :

Well the GentlefootFO8Racing Server is a good one. I can be pleased to say I have never had to ban anyone and I have never even seen a vote started. It's that kind of server - friendly and helpful people on there. Usually there are a few people on between about 10:00 and 12:00 each night.

Hmm. I'll have to visit there..once I get used to the FO8 lol.

Quote from joen :

I hope some other server owners report to this thread too.

Because honestly I don´t think new users have a hard time finding the servers mentioned in this thread.
A bigger problem is they start there and hardly every get anywhere else than FOX @ BL1 and GTR @ ASNAT

Well sorry for trying to be a help to the community.

Just forget it. But when you have noobs making topics like "I just got S2, where should I start?" dont come crying to me for trying to save topic space.

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :

That is cool. How do you buy a car, like /buy XRT?

Its !buy XRT or whatever car name is.

EDIT:My bad. Used to STCC's system of checking stuff lol.

Just an FYI all new people who recently bought S2 should look at this thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=23256

Lists most of the good servers to race on!

Quote from jayhawk :

For the love of God, dont buy this vehicle and become a stereotype. For people who live in the UK, the Honda Civic is a "chav" car. At first, having Honda dorks "challenge" me was fun, but now it is just irritating. My car is this:


More pictures can found here.

Don't worry im not a sterotype. Hell im almost antisocial! Anyways im just getting it for price and Gas savings (32 MPG FTW)

He probably cracked his "bought" S2 license because hes obviously not an S2 licensed dude right now. Unless he forgot to login lol.

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :

Woa...:

1. How does the money system work in Carribbean Cruise?

2. What do you mean by bronze license?

(Always best to learn before i get the license )

1. Basicly you start with 2500 (enough to buy UF1) then you drive around doing laps, ect and you earn cash the more you drive.

2. STCC runs a special License system. As you race in their servers when you finish you are awarded points. The more points=Higher license. It awards em to your LFS account on the server but it won't effect your driving/skill outside of STCC servers. STCC Licenses have virtually NOTHING to do with S2 licenses except keeping track of what points are on it. You still have to buy an S1 or S2 (preferable S2 since hardly anyone plays S1) to play: STCC just has a complex point system.

Owner wants $200 for it. It runs but battery is low so lol.

Quote from Bradracer :

Nice, maybe you could put a link to their websites, if they needed to contact them, or just find out more info about them?

[TC]'s is: www.city-driving.com
CLC's is: www.citylifecrew.net
STCC: www.simtouringcarsup.net
UKCT: www.ukct.net

not sure about the others

Thanks for that. I'll put them in deffinatly!

Quote from andy29 :

IMHO the proper racing servers should go above the cruising ones, this is meant to be a racing sim first and foremost after all. I'm not starting an argument, I like the city driving servers as much as anyone

This is great idea. When it's done it needs to be made a sticky. It could go in the wiki too.

The numbers are in no way corelation on their rank. They are just the order I went in each server with my experience.

Thanks for the sticky reccomendation also. It makes me happy that im not usless lol.

Thanks for the comments guys. Updated it with some more info.

And yes this is purely for new people who recently got S2 and have no idea which server to go to.

(Made this topic because I found some servers of intrest anyone would have fun on)
First thing is first lets go over some good servers.
Now granted you will want to read the rules for every server because alot of em have rules aginst wrecking,swearing,ect.


1.STCC. If your looking for some good ol' racing I highly sugest going to STCC's servers. If you don't know STCC stands for Sim Touring Car Cup. Now granted because your new you won't be able to race the fast cars in it untill you get atleast a bronze license. Best start is going to STCC1a or STCC1b. 1a has the XFG and the XRG while 1b has the UF1 (think minicooper with additude).


2.Carribean Cruise by CLC.This is almost like [TC]'s Citydriving only you have a more realistic feel to it. In this server you earn cash by driving around and the more cash you have, the more cars you can buy. Same rules apply here though like in [TC], Drive like you would in real life, don't ram cops, and hope to god no one wrecks you.

3.Redline Racing. Now if you like Single-Seater racing or just have an urge to go over 100 without being arrested then I sugest you come here. You get to race the FOX. (No you don't ride an actual fox but rather a Formula Renault clone.) Racing here has its rules also (No swearing, wrecking, wrongway driving, ect.) but if you follow the rules you will 99.9% of the time have a blast racing here!

4.[CD]ConeDodgersRacing. You want fast? These guys have fast. In these servers you drive the GTR cars. Remeber your humble XRT,FXO and FZ5? Well in this server you drive their meanier,and faster, brothers in arms the XRR, FXR and the FZR. Racing here is VERY fast so caution when your coming out of pits, otherwise risk being boradsided at 130 MPH . Also please abide by all rules in place (Blue flag means if a faster car is coming behind you ,don't swerve off road, but move over to let them pass).

5.(FM)Oval Junkies. These servers have the fastest of the fast cars in LFS:The BMW Sauber (AKA the BF1). Racing in these servers will almost always go over 200 MPH (Heck you can average 346 K/ph around the oval!) just make sure you have a good set (default ones are good for learning). If you ask me this is for those who like NASCAR, not for stock car racing, but going around in a big circle. As Tristan said "The oval won't teach any good habits for newbies." and hes right. So learn how to drive in other servers lol.

6.UKCT Servers. These servers are almost like redline (uses fast cars). No personal experience with these servers as of yet. Will update soon.

7.Land Of The Free Racing |||LOTF Servers. From my experience so far this is a great racing server. While on one server they had GTR cars on and it was a blast racing! I reccomend here also because its not just oval.


Alright now for some usally not known servers.

1. AV MEX Racing Center. This place has every car in LFS playable at decent tracks. Its very fun racing here I'll say that much.

More "lesser" server names to come!

Now this is just from my experience in the servers, you may find you will like them more or less, but I know most of you out there will have a blast here!
If you need to contact any of the people above here are their sites:
CLC's is: www.citylifecrew.net
STCC: www.simtouringcarcup.com
UKCT: www.ukct.net
ConeDodgers: www.conedodgers.co.uk/
(FM): http://www.fragmaster.net/fm/
RedlineRacing: www.Team-Redline.co.uk

If any other teams who have servers want their's listed PM me and I'll put em up here.

Comments or Sugestions on what servers I should add? post em!.

EDIT: Thanks Thristan for pointing out the FOX isn't called an F1 car. Also thanks duke toaster for showing me a cool team.

I just saw you were only 16, probably not a good idea anyway!

Yeah.....



Last thing I need is to be up there and get my head stuck in some ricer's 10 inch wide exaust pipe

Quote from th84 :

I live in Forsyth too (but I thought you lived in the city for the crazy people :P), Id be happy to scoop you up! I think I can make it if nothing comes up. Ill keep an eye on this thread.

You gotta have a/c in Georgia!!

I forgot, I too could only be there on Fri/Sat., Ill be in Talladega on Sunday.

Yeah I don't think my parents would trust me with a dood i met online (security freaks they are!)

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

Yo grunt, I have a similar problem with my momo, the brake would always be applied half way, even though I'm not pressing it at all. It turns out that the cable to my pedals is kinda messed up, the connection is bad or something, anyways when I calibrate it, I just unplug it from the USB port then plug it back in and the pedals reset themselves, and the problem goes away. Dunno if its gonna help you, but I'm just sharing my almost-everyday experience!

yeh that works but only for awhile.

Then on LAST LAP accelerator dies..

I put the accelerator and brake on buttons on my wheel.

I feel like a handicapped person though

Okay first.


INSTEAD OF QUINTUPLET POSTING TRY EDITING YOUR FIRST DAMN POST.


Second of all: Professional demo users??? Theres a name for those....ah yes: S2 players.

Third: "exclusive sets, skins and cheats"?? LOL I hope a mod sees "CHEATS" in there.

Also there must not be many "exclusive" skins and sets because your a demo team.

Must be like 5 sets for XRG XFG and XRT.

Quote from StanleyCarter :

I had the same problem with my old Logitech Wingman which I later broke the pedal in half.
Then I switched to Logitech Momo Racing (Black) and it too had the same problem, done many ways to solve the problem, such as cleaning the pots, recalibration, use DXTweak (is that what its called?) as well as glueing the pots so it doesn't move around. All these solved the problem TEMPORARY, as the spiking pedals soon came back in 1-2 months, frustrating yes.
Conclusion is, with the way those pedals are designed/built, this pedal spiking issue is inavoidable, some people don't have it simply because they're lucky.
I'm just glad I got a G25, now that's some quality pedals which I can stomp hard on!

Damn you and your $250 racing wheel lol.

Mine was $200 less...=suckage.

Quote from XCNuse :

i have this problem (did) with my momo racing

that is.. if i put the brakes all the way down it would start doing that, so i just recalibrated them so that it doesn't go that far ingame to where it starts to flutter

How be you do this?? lol..

Quote from XCNuse :

if you live in forsyth its like.. not that far of a drive tbh

and whats wrong with a car from 97? mine is a '95

anyways i forgot to mention the only day i'd be able to go (obviously) is sat. so..

if this doesn't fly to well we should try something during the summer time

Whats wrong with it?

Aircondition is busted, windows dont open, and im 16 lol....

Yeah i live in georgia (around forsyth, macon ect) but can't make it sadly... car is a 97 Oldsmobile Cutless

Man they still fudge up..


Forget it. Im going back to Keyboard and Mouse for racing.


$50 for the damn wheel isn't worth the trouble it causes( I'd fix it but my dad won't let me use his damn air compressor).
