Alright, The Prize Pool is now officially 300€, thanks to the last donation. We have also reached over 50 entrants.

Quote from ZaidejasLT :

what u program to edit skins ?

I use mainly Microsoft Paint & Microsoft PowerPoint and a bit of GIMP or Paint.net for transparency.

Quote from Ebbu94 :

Hello. Would you kindly remove the file Ford Sierra RS (1).png from this collection?
The lights in question are originally made by me, and the kit in which they were introduced is still publicly available for download here: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=8577



I would not have a problem with the redistribution IF you had
1. Asked me first
2. Given me credit
3. Not mutilated the kit horribly in Paint(?) and lowered the resolution to the absolute minimum

But because I find it insulting that my work has been lowered to such a poor quality with no credit given, I would like you to remove it.

I found a few other lights which look obviously removed from the original skins with Paint or similar software, but sadly cannot point out the original creators. But I'm sure everyone here would rather if you didn't steal other peoples work without permission.

Thank you.

Sure thing. That is not a problem and I deeply apologize.

Quote from Bean0 :

It looks like you do it from the skin upload page - https://www.lfs.net/account/skins/upload

I just have the option to add credit, but if you already have some then maybe the option to buy slots is there ?

Yeah apparently there it is. Thank you so much for the help.

I looked up this thread and noticed that the images are broken and I'm guessing it's also outdated
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/11182-How-to-use-a-skin-in-LFS-%5Band-upload-to-LFSW%5D

Quote :

If you are a demo racer, you cannot upload skins by default. Only licensed racers get free skin slots. You can however purchase additional skin slots (see the LFS World skins window), so that demo racers can upload skins as well.

Where do I buy these slots when I can't even find where to do it?

Quote from asyed :

Plz explain how you got the tow hook. If it's a vob mod, well, that's not allowed.

I don't even know what vob means. I got it from a friend and I've been using it for some time. It doesn't affect the gameplay in any way so why it shouldn't be allowed?

Edit1: This is kind of why I don't even use LFS forum because people seem to always complain, no matter what you do.

Edit2: If this really bothers people, I will apologize and remove the image.

Working on with multiple new Front lights. Stay tuned!

Edit: I've updated the list and there's currently 153 Front lights.

Last edited by Jonzu95, Thu 21 Apr 2016, 07:49.

Anyone?

Anyone interested for a challenge? I would like to have the famous F-Rallisarja BMW E36 driven by Joni Hiipakka for XRT. Front lights aren't necessary, I can handle them myself.

Hello guys. Me and my friend have made package of rally signs for rally stages. We use these signs in our Live For Speed Rally Community servers such as:

- Finnish Rally Server
- Finnish Event Server
- SBF VGP

Preview Picture


We hope that you guys like and enjoy them. Here's our group link where we host weekly events. Everyone is welcome!
http://www.facebook.com/groups/419680931434244/

PS. If you wonder how to install them, just Overwrite them to the; /LFS/data/dds/ folder.

Hard to keep this updated since I'm mostly concentrating on the Facebook group.

So the qualifier was around couple weeks ago, and here are the qualifier results plus the current Entry list. It'd be nice to get entries from the LFS Forum but I doubt you guys are interested in rally championships.

Ps. Added the calendar.

Link not working...Maybe someone still have them? or can upload?

I apologize that the link didn't work. It's fixed now.

Quote from TFalke55 :

What are the dates for the actual events? I understand the Qualifier is from January 1st to 8th 2016.

I'm still working on with the calendar but I can tell that there are 10 events, 1 for each every month except July.

Hey Guys.

I'm hosting a new Rally Championship in 2016 where the winner gets a DiRT Rally on Steam. Rules & Signing in happens in the Facebook group, just like in my previous championships. (SM-Ralli & Fiesta Dmack Trophy)

https://www.facebook.com/groups/856450944452481/

Spread the word and I hope some of you guys are interested.

Quote from SmokeyBanjo :

will you be doing another season? I'd like to enter some, sounds like fun

Sorry, I will not plan to make another season. I will have my plans on completely new Rally Championship where will be FXO/XRT and XFG classes.

Hey Guys, Toca Touring Cars Championship 1 was one of my biggest childhood games and my dream is to recreate those races in Live For Speed. I found all the British Touring Car Championship 1997 Cars, I uploaded them to dropbox and I'm requesting someone to make them for me and public use. Privateers aren't necessary but can be made too. =)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1p185s3j6bom92t/AAA740LaXsCsN-_RsHdKesBSa?dl=0

These would be made for FXO

List of Skins I already have (Credits goes to the people who have made them)
- Williams Renault Dealer Racing (Menu & Plato)
- Audi Sport UK (Biela & Bintcliffe)

Quote from Bmxtwins :

RB4, albeit lowres can be found here:
https://www.lfs.net/attachment/2144

A better one:
https://www.lfs.net/attachment/133348
https://www.lfs.net/attachment/133349

Thanks. I liked the first one the most so now I have XFG, XRT & RB4. All I need is FZ5, UF1 and FXO anymore.. =)

Quote from MousemanLV :

Those are some fancy looking charts! Great design. I also once had the chance to spectate these races, I'm certain you guys had a blast!

Thank you very much. My plan is to make new charts to the new championship with Microsoft Excel since it counts the points automatically as well.

And here they are, Drive Dmack Fiesta Trophy Final Standings. Thank you to everyone who participated and give yourself a big applause!
Unfortunately Drive Dmack Fiesta Trophy will not continue next year due to my new incoming Rally championship for 2016.
