Do I read that right:
The editor already has support for material types that do not work ingame yet?

Is that a steering wheel claw thingy?

45° steering lock seems too much?
Otherwise it is a nice fat slugmobile

Nice skins in that race.
What broadcast tool is that? I like the camera shots from high above. It might look a bit smoother if you stay at one camera position longer before cutting to a new viewpoint.

You do not need to buy any license. It already says "S3 licensed" under your name, S3 is the full game.

On LFS main screen there is an "unlock" button, just click it and enter your name and GAMEpassword.

Downloading mods is easy and automatic but you need to have unlocked S3. There is a " "MODS" button in the garage/car select screen, it it pretty self-explaining.

A popular drift car is the XRT. There are plenty of setups for it here: https://www.lfs.net/files/setups (set filter to "Drift")

The manual is a good read:
https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Main_Page

Or just try things out, it is not as difficult as you might think.

There is an option in LFS settings for that.
You have to set throttle and brake to "seperate axes" instead of "combined axis."
Without looking I am not 100% where to find it but it is there somewhere.
However with some controllers it is impossible when their hardware does not support to seperate the axes.
(There are some cheap wheels where the two pedals are actually hardwared as one axis)

changing driver side does not fuly work. rpm & speedometer are always on the right.

power and speed seems okay when compared to models of similiar weight, for example:
https://www.jungheinrich.de/uploads/jh_importer/assets_product_5365_de-DE____pdf___link/Typenblatt_EFG_110__113__115.pdf
in LFS it is possible to adjust gear ratio and it will go faster than any real fork lift.

I think the kart deserves its own thread, it will get confusing otherwise.

On the buggy:
It feels strange if you can adjust downforce in the setup but the chasis without visible wings is selected. You could make it two different cars, like Jake_Blasted did with his historic F1 mods.
Personally I prefer the offroad version without downforce because there are already several openwheel cars for track racing. But no other race buggy mods.

The v2 buggy has mirrored skin-mapping.

Quote from guialmeidag :

I was recently suspended for posting an NSX.

I believe it was because:
You had posted a mod that was reviewed, found to be legal and published.
But then you changed the 3D model to a different model, a model which was ripped from another game.
In the mod's change-log all your comments are just "Small Changes" and no mention of swapping the model.
So it looks like you tried to bypass/trick the review system. (Several people have tried that before, for example uploading a modded XRT and then after publishing they secretly changed the model)
That is annoying because it wastes everyone's time.

I think bans for first offense are fairly short, a few weeks or so. So just wait until the modding-ban expires.

Quote from Sponge :

- A ‘city car’ type of car modified for racing, namely a (1st gen) Renault Twingo and a Citroën C1

You mean entry level motorsport?
Those are my favorite too. Basically road cars but any interior ballast (seats, padding, etc) is removed and a cage added.

el-pinocho has done a few such cars:
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods?user=el%2Dpinocho
or these:
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/9A9019
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/23E384
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/47F488

Other slight modifcations could be windows replaced with wire mesh, air intake moved to interior (for dust protection), radiator moved to rear and with larger fans, improvised bodywork repair or removed panels. Some pictures attached for ideas.

hello, my lfs name is fer1010, i got banned to crush a car who was bocking the race, i really enjoy play fair and i got banned from bmw race... where can i find any solution. thak you

I think often bans end after some time.
If not, then you have to contact the admin of whichever server banned you.
The links to some popular demo BMW servers are:
AirAttack: https://airattackteam.com/
MRC Master Race Car: https://mrclife.com/
GD: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/98972-WIN-S3-LICENSE-%28only-July-event%29-%7C-%5BGD%5D-Beginner-BMW-%26-%5BGD%5D-Formula-BMW--GD-
There you either find discord or forum etc.
Or just make a new thread with the servername in title, likely someone from those teams will see it.

Hi,
I might remember it wrong but I think when a friend bought S3 via paypal it was instantly.
"A few weeks" is definitely not normal, seems like something went wrong.
You can directly contact the devs here: https://www.lfs.net/mailus

Quote from nexttime :

What surprised me was he was worried about some 30mb being moved on an harddisk.

That seems oddly specifique. I searched for "30 MB" to see what it was about and found this:

Quote :

This is about people hacking their .eng file, to contain far larger wavs than the limit that LFS allows, and that wav file being music rather than an actual engine sound. Then going online and selecting that hacked mod, forcing others to download that 30 MB mod and busting their eardrums with extremely loud music.

So it was not about hardware requirements at all.

To me it is always interesting to read about game development. LFS or other games. Sometimes I would do things different, but I mostly do silly 2D games so what do I know. Also if everyone did everything the same way it would be boring and there would be no need to write or read such reports.

Quote from Flame CZE :

PS: Not sure what "Proudový Kouzelník" was supposed to mean but it doesn't make much sense when translated directly, because it means "Jet Magician"

I used google-translate to generate the most realistic czech driver names.

Anyway, I seem finished for now. Skins are basically as in the picture except for minor differences but I can make more changes if wanted.
svg-file is included.

woah, I never knew you could change settings in the openwheel cars just with arrows, without first pressing F11.
Maybe it was done that way because of the GTR cars only XRR has a display in the cockpit?
Cars without display would need an onscreen-menu (like F11), maybe it could open automatically if one the arrows is pressed and disappear after two seconds with no input?

It is possible to make scripts like https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Script_Guide#Brake_balance_adjustment_.28increase.2Fdecrease.29 but they do not work for all cars: The adjustment-menu is different depending if the car has adjustable brake-bias and ARB or only of either.

If you re-do the skinmapping anyways, maybe try to make better all elements as large as possible. There was lots of unused space on the previous template. Larger paintable areas mean higher resolution = better quality.

all of the formular mod cars


(missing a few because I did not notice they had spawned elsewhere and was to lazy to redo it)
/edit


(still missing a few wip/unskinned ones and maybe forgot some)

I am making a skin, it is not done yet but will look similiar to the attached picture. are you interested?

Did you know that Westhill Circuit had bought three P50 as promotion for the 2007 Grand Prix?
They are still in use today!




One is used as a service/track safety vehicle and the other two are used for advertisement and special events.
Imagine crashing your car and while you hang in the belts upside-down, this guy pulls up next to you:


The zip-file contains two "race" versions and a "service" version and the svg-vector file.
Anyone is free to make their own variants.
bayanofmansorofisky: if you want, you may also include them with the mod.
The bumpers are not skinnable, instead their colors have to be set with the color-sliders to match the skins.

(The "wrench & broom" logo is sourced from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_Klarschiff_HRO.svg under Creative Commons CC0 and the crossed flags were also some CC0 file)

Something is wrong with the skin mapping again.
There is no "generate skin template" button ingame. When I try to use your attached template (or any other file) it just results in a white kart.

some of the dashboard textures are mirrored.
for example the text on the switches and the red "E" of emergency shutoff.
(I only tested in lefthand drive.)

When you accelerate to 70 km/h and let off the throttle then the kart will continue to roll for over 4 minutes. Seems a bit strange, does it have not air drag? Also when topside down the wheels seem to spin forever.

It usually feels better to have release something finished rather than having dozen of almost-finished projects hidden on your HDD.

I would not worry about duplicate mods, neither of them is finished yet.

does it happen with all mods or just these two?
