As you and your friends speak the same language and live in the same city. You can either talk on facebook, facetime, skype, steam group chat, discord, teamspeak, mumble. There are too many choices, but I personally prefer Discord. Its free to host

That is the coolest thing! How many layoust have you made so far? You must really struggle with the names..

I'm positive that you can safely uninstall Hamachi, once you get the ports up and going. You won't need that. That could be causing the trouble, I'm not too familiar with it.

If said this to a few people before, if you're just looking for fun gameplay. I can open a server for you.

Quote from PlSTOL :

And I'm now more confused than ever, so in order to play multiplayer game I should enter my ip address (not the one taken from the CMD - ipconfig?) so the issue now is that that BIND FAILED message should not appear in order I could play multiplayer game with my friends? also changing to HIDDEN instead of INTERNET?

When you or anyone for that matter, is connecting to a public server: You can either find it in the public server list of LFS (view list of servers) or you can connect typing in the specific name of the server. Just forget everything about connecting through IP. If you really wanna connecting through LAN (as you're hosting), you can connect via Local connection, and use that 192.168.X.X address you had earlier.

If you're still having plenty of trouble after this, then I can open one for you

I had a dream a few days back where I was banned from the LFS forums:

I had a powernap the other day right having chilling a bit here on the forum.
As I fell asleep, I was dreaming about getting banned from here. I could feel the fear when I woke up a few hours later.

This actually sounds like the start of a horror story. But as I woke back up, I started thinking:
What if? What else would I do if I actually got banned? I quite honestly don't think I could stay away that long.
Pretty much everyday I hop on the computer to check if there are any new posts around the forum, its become a daily thing.

..and i love it!

What port did you open for? 63392? That would be default.
When your friends are connecting, they have to enter a specific host: Enter the name of your server and try to connect to that.

I think that could be one way to test it without your friends, just connect via that specific host thingy: and enter the hostname.

Doublecheck that the portforwarding has been done correctly, they should be open for both UDP and TCP for portnumber 63392 towards your ip.

Hello friend.

Wasn't there an option to scale the hud? http://prntscr.com/g2kvav
Marked on the picture.

When you're about to connect to a local host, you can't use the IP you get from http://www.whatsmyip.org/. For that one you have to open CMD (Command Prompt) and check your 'ip config'. And if your brother is connecting to your server, he's got to use that same ip from CMD aswell.

I'm using G920 along with a Playseat

Yeah, that sucks.
Some of the demo users just use hacks, cause they don't care too much if they get banned. They just make a new demo account (as its free) and move on to the same server.

But as @THE WIZARD DK said, getting a license would solve this.
+ you'd get plenty of fun content and new servers to discover

Hi.

I don't know what to think about this, some demo users can be really into insim programming and have plenty of knowledge around it. I'm sure this can be tested for a certain period.

S1 users and up would of course have full access to the programmer forum.
But this posting restriction thingy would have to be applied to the entire forum (demo users can still ask about programming in offtopic etc.).

This restriction system now makes it that demo users aren't able to post at all then. I'm gonna give a -1 for this one. Its not gonna work, unless @Victor got a better solution for this.

Following.

As I saw the beginning of @cargame.nl's post, I was like:
Alright, this is it: he's going to flame me.

Reupload please !

You posted a year ago and there was no response, its pointless bumping this thread

I mean, yeah:

But what if you're wrong? Djaniko0o could have just been super inactive and just got back after a few years, as much as I want to call out 'crackers' myself, that is up to the mods and devs. Not us as users.

Everything is in the insim manual, very useful

I'm sorry:

But as @BeNoM said, it was locked for a reason.
Reported the post so moderators see it, I'm out.

^ UM got it all said. Some discounts would be nice as I've spent £340 so far . Back to the server thing:

I'm a member of the forum, I've hosted several times both on linux and windows. I could help you out if you're still stuck with hosting :-).
Drop me a PM and we'll talk.

You're all wrong, its not dead. But yes, the activity around the servers have been slowing down the past 'few' years. I don't think often about 'what if it all would shut down?'

I'd probably just move on to my other games, LFS is the only car related game I play (other than rocket league ). Point of this post is: Try not to be so negative about it.

LFS External is a good place to start, but once you've learned how to handle packets and have had your fun there. You should upgrade to InSim.NET, LFS External is outdated

I'm gonna keep watching this thread. If you would happen to buy a license, I'd love to help you out.

I was about to ask you to take this to the improvents sugggestions thread, but idk. I feel like LFS will be moving into stanced mode. But a selection of different rims would be nice to have.

Can I just ask: Why haven't you bought a license yet? Any specific reason for that? Its been 8 years with demo. Is it really that fun?

Ovh is pretty cheap for what you get (www.ovh.ie). Using Linux on a server there is recommended, as its much more lighter than Windows. If you decide to rent there and want to use linux, I can help you set it up.

You should just play on the servers there are, tbh.

But if you still want to do it: You have to configure FTP to be used with your host. I don't think the hosting at lfs.net has the FTP feature.

Lets keep this thread alive!

I work as IT-Consultant for (not sure if translated correctly: local authority). Where I manage virtual servers, and do support for our 490 users.

If you just wanna try new content, you can go for S1 ($12 for you).
And later, if you're upgrading to S2 it'll only cost you $12 more.
