Yea, Im only seeing 64 and most of those are blackwood. I guess it's just a slow night.

Well, its couple of days that most of servers are Blackwood.

One year ago there was plenty of different servers.

Thats why i was a bit surprised.

Quote from th84 :

Long time, Lake. Welcome back.

Maybe some of your server filters are checked?

CTRA is down until further notice AFAIK.

Thanks

But when i refresh all servers with all cars , most of them are Blackwood tracks.

There is only 57 servers online at this time....

Hi,

i just have a question.
Maybe there is some thread about it but...

Where are servers ???

I ve stopped for 1 year and all i can see is demo's servers with Blackwood track.

Tonight, even CTRA servers are not online.

Whats happening?

PS : ive installed patch Z10, dunno if it have consequence

Well i dont post a lot but i play LFS for years now.
I didnt red all posts but i have some questions or remarks.

I use manual clutch for years on button.
It took me time to learn it.

I can understand that its maybe not the best realistic way to drive.
Im ready to change and learn new way of driving...but...

I tried manual clutch with button on the new patch (the latest released today X36) and i cant make 5 laps without killing it.

After that i tried auto clutch were you have to release pedal before switching gear.
Down shift is ok but up shifting is a nightmare.

Most of time i miss gears cos i release my pedal fast and i think my hardware dont answer as fast it must be.
Im losing so much time with that technic.

Why not letting a bigger reliability to the clutch to let manual clutch drivers still using it(with button).
Maybe canceling clutch failure.

Otherwise, new patch is good and i appreciate all the work done, but i have a bad taste about that new way of driving.

Im completly against force view even its an option.
I drive LFS for years in full screen even i tried cockpit at the beginning.
But to me, the best way to go fast is full screen.
Be realistic is one thing, but the view u have in a real cockpit or in front of a screen is really different, thats why i dont use cockpit.
It take time to master car/tracks in LFS and changing views change all your feelings.
So i wont learn 2 style of driving if i must do a league or something.
Hope this feature wont stay long.

Yesterday i drove on those 32 slots server.
I agree that on AS cadet its a bit messy.

But one of the biggest mistakes of most ppl is that they are ready to do anything to get one place.
Result....wrecking...
Sometimes i see guys trying to overtake me, and if i dont let them pass, its the accident.
I prefer to let them braking lately and thinking they have some "magic" brakes then they going in sand and i overtake just after.

When i drive on that kind of server, my main objective is to anticipate other mistakes, taking my time and sometimes waiting that other drivers finish to play bowling.

Yesterday it took me only 2 races to be in front from back grid...
So, be more patient and the result will be there.

Thanks Scawen for the good work

I really appreciate the work made by Scawen.
I never do bad critics cos i know its a hard work.
But please change those car sounds.....
I think i will install CSR pack cos i cant drive (XFR) with it.
It hurt my ears lol and RPM are not adjusted with sounds i think.

Anyway, keep the good work and thanks for all the pleasure i have to drive since.....many years

We are from same small country (very small) and not the same language.....

Bonjour tout le monde,
J’ai quelque chose à vous dire pendant 5 minutes.
Ce sont les aventures d’Elmer et Younes.
Sur le texte « le Clandestin », nous lirons les aventures de Petit Coyote ou Elmer et Younes.
Elmer est un petit garçon qui vit au Honduras.
Sa mère à abandonné Elmer et ses 4 sœurs.
Sa mère vis illégalement à Los Angeles pour le moment, elle est émigrée.
Elle vit illégalement aux Etats-Unis.
Elle travaille de temps en temps et elle envoie de l’argent à ses enfants.
Elmer voudrait rejoindre sa mère.
C’est là que commence son aventure et il part pour les Etats-Unis.

mais son voyage est difficile.
Elmer du haut des ses dix ans n'a pas eu de problèmes pour aller jusqu au Mexique en stop.
Mais une fois arrivé au Mexique, il ne peut pas traverser la frontière américaine. Elmer n'a aucune idée de ce qu'il va faire, mais des gens, voyant le petit garçon, décident de l'aider et les médias s'emparent de cette histoire. La mère d'Elmer est entrée illégalement aux Etats-Unis, donc elle ne peut pas répondre au message paru à la TV: " On recherche la mère de cet enfant". Mais le frère de sa mère l'aide et Elmer reçoit une lettre de sa mère. Elmer ne peut pas rester au Mexique et il est renvoyé en Honduras, cependant il a la chose qu'il souhaitait tant: une lettre de sa mère!

Au Maroc, Younès a le même problème: il veut partir en Espagne pour vivre mieux. Il a déjà essayé d'obtenir légalement un visa mais il n'a pas pu l'obtenir, alors il s'embarque illégalement sur un bateau pour atteindre son rêve: aller en Espagne. Pendant le voyage, Younès et son ami sont surpris par les douaniers. Cela se termine par un massacre et Younès est tué.
La différence entre Younès et Elmer n'est pas grande: ils sont tous les deux dans des conditions difficiles et tentent de s'en échapper pour avoir une meilleure vie, Elmer en allant retrouver sa mère, Younès en partant pour l'Espagne. Elmer reçoit de l'aide, Younès aussi, mais ça se termine différemment.

Welcome to the big Family

yep i speak french

Yeah thanks
Even if we are around 35 years old, we are ready to kick the new generation
Do we still play at 60 ??? lets see
Anyway, i had lot of fun on this combo those last days with Sparky and some of guys.
We had very fair and interresting fight.
I ve met fast drivers who was not fair and most of time race are not fun.
But when u have fast and fair, then LFS is great.

@Scrabby : im from Enghien/Edingen 40 km from Brussels

Tonight i did my 2000th victory on LFS.
I just want to say that LFS is the best online racing game i ever played.
I never played a game so long.
Im 35 years old and i know video games from the beginning (Pong)
Just want to thank Scawen and all team for the pleasure i have driving this awesome game.

Thanks.

wow, is it an alpha version?
What is that game?
I like GTR2 but this one is very very bad.
Arcade?
Even some arcade games looks better.
Lets forget it or they need to improve physics and lot of stuff.

Quote from tristancliffe :

You MUST read EVERYTHING, otherwise this forum is useless. You have problems, but have to previous 20 odd posts helped (mirror things). Have you tried them? Anything to add other than you have a bug we already know about? Even then, you tell us NOTHING about your computer (XP/Vista, Intel/AMD etc etc).

Sorry to sound harsh, but this test forum relies on people READING the warning, READING the threads, and ACTING upon what they read. When you have read these bits of information, done a proper test, and worked out whether your post was needed, then you may edit your post above with the new info, or remove it.

Scawen/Mods: You can delete my post if you don't think it's needed, or if the deletion of his post makes mine useless. Sorry if I was in the wrong writing it. For the record, disabling the mirror improves my sound somewhat, but I haven't tested extensively enough to write anything that hasn't already been written.

You dont have to be so aggresive.
I saw some ppl asking if others guy had problem, i just said yes since patch U22.
Sorry for my useless post.........

Quote from Modoff :

haha yea mr rodgers when u block messages its a prime oppurtunity to talk some s*** . I only go on lfs to talk anymore lol cus it kinda kinda borring. How i see it, if they dont want to read my chat, block messages. When I am racing I am either still talking or just ignoring it, it doesnt bother me when people chat while im racing. Unless they ask me for my setup a million times when I'm on a hotlap or in a good battle. Thats usually the only people I wont give my set to is people who bother me about it.

Can i have ur set please?

I didnt read everything, but i ve also sound problems in my headset.
Some"pops" too.
I didnt had that on older patchs.

Well thats a point of view.
I repsect it.
Discussions are made for that
