Quote from RC-Maus :

Having same problem as Lucaf seem letters explained don't react in Gui

Don't know what I am doing different than previous times, but today the camera editing works for me, tried on several tracks, everything works :o hmm...this is weird. Would be too scary to tell if Storm/Maus hadn't same experience.

edit: pfff...false alarm, but now I'm able to modify start and end nodes in GUI (though that is already much, can update old BL1R cam...), still cannot modify x/y, neither chat commands work, only "x" works.

Short clip of 4th round of ABC cup at KY2. Caught massive accident at the last corners of first lap.

(was spectacular to see it from my cockpit, I just saw one car quite high in the air.., unfortunately I reacted with a "smile" even it looked like mostly horrific "fatal" crash)

I've seen this happening with people with small experience and usually not even interested to do a whole race, just want to have a "drag race" to T1. They join the server, and even there is race going on, they vote for restart. Absence of server administrators/moderators makes possible this phenomenon to grow into a new entertaiment culture.

Then I've seen racers, who request restart if they fail in T1, even all other cars pass it without problems. If their vote doesn't pass, they demand restart agressively in chat.

Blackwood got remastered in 1/2017 after that on most servers the stats have been cleared because new track is slower (~0.4s)

There is not many activity outside private leagues, I would say, join whatever server where you find someone else.

Wow, first time saw this thread. Awesome work, in pics and vids, I'll try them.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Well, I assume you can't join at all if you do not have the track server is currently running

True in multiplayer (except on free weekends). Then there is the competition mode, kind of hotlap competition, where this time, you can take part even you don't have bought that specific track. For example there is one ongoing competition at Macau's track, gosh it was nice

Anyone: What is your experience today, on this game? I bought it some weeks ago, but after playing +100hours Assetto Corsa, Im heavily disappointed on the drive feeling of this one, compared on AC.

I have only Legends Experience pack wich containts for example similar DTM cars of 90's than AC.

Tried some cars of that pack, including those DTM cars. And of course on Nordschleife wich also this game has laser scanned version. Compared to AC, this game is like driving on pool table.

Nordschleife track is not flat, instead the surface is curved. This I dont feel in the game at all. The driving sensitivity feels like you are floating over the track, not rolling on the track. Do I have just missed some critical settings, or anyone having same experience?

Such a pity, since the user interface of the game is very good, unlike in AC...

edit: one interesting feature there is in multiplayer mode - you can join servers that contain cars you do not have. For example you can join a sever if you have the track, and if you have at least one car listed on the server. So you can race with opponents that run cars you cannot select.

edit: 5 weeks later I have to change my opinion. The FFB feeling is different than AC, but more I play it more I get used to it and now I find myself enjoying this game. Now I even can feel the track sufrace that I couldnt feel when writing this. AC has still very interesting wheel sensitiviness but I wouldnt say this one game is bad either. Never judge too early...

In the lfs folders there is command.txt file with everything you need to know about commands

Quote from rik97 :

Should made a vid about the whole race

true now that I found that piece of sw that makes the magic, it is just about waiting, particulary when uploading the 2-3GB file to youtube

btw the server is still passworded :o

Quote from RC-Maus :

Nice Video

true, I was just watching while LFS Director made it :o, don't know the logic of the app but seems that it sniffs fight situations (two cars close?) and focus on those. At the end I had bit manual focus.

Thanks for the race! (I remember the words "we have no rules.." )

Would be more than awesome. Next comes the question, wich configuration of Nordschleife?

Assetto and IRacing already serving laser scanned version of modern version of Nordschleife (20.8km), maybe some other sim also.

In my opinion could be extraordinary cool to have the older classic 22.8km track of 70's with the old stadion area with large pit area and large start/finish straight with space for large grid.

Could be even epic awesome and LFS'ish to have four different configurations when adding also Sudschleife, the combination of boths (Gesamtstrecke), and the "oval" betonschleife. Like the one mod done for rFactor.

Quote from Racon :

A lagging connection will have a performance impact on all other connections to the server, as LFS is simulating the car from where it was when the packet was sent, to where it should be now that the packet is received. Anyone who is running their CPU on its limit has no spare computing power for this extra work and will also start lagging, which adds to the load of everyone else, etc, etc.

If this is true (I can easily believe it is, but never thinked about it), it is very important information and every server administrator should be highly aware of this. This explain why sometimes on some servers looks that suddenly everybody on server begins to lag noticeably much.

I need the "sometimes" choice for question #1 - "Can you race saturdays at 20:00UTC"

Thanks for the race!


Feel sorry for Snoopy & Co, can't imagine how excited would the race have been with them.

Spiky this is for you

Quote from rik97 :

I think you're talking about my crash.

No, btw I saw your crash later (sorry for that, would have been great to see your whole race).

I was talking about one who in the middle of race spinned after the "S" curve and spectated before next car(s) came (otherwise would have been a "shunt").

Quote from NeOn_sp :

Lucaf, one comment about the point system, not all your race points are taken into the final point calculation, becase we discard from that calculation the worst result for every driver ( usually we discard 1 race per each 5 races ) .

Ok thanks!

Btw just for other non-spanish speakers, I noticed I have got penalties from my two last races for blocking messages during races. So if I understood correct, that is prohibited

There is a bit cloudy afternoon at the track, but I look forward to have a good race!

Quote from SimoCiniqta :

I dont know but, in my old Windows 7 the game was working, but i reinstall my windows yesterday and now idk what happend ..

But is it fair from you to ask help for your cracked version? This is official LFS forum and we all hope that you pay for your unlocked content. Do you understand how unfair it is to unlock LFS without license? You understand what I am trying to say? If everyone just would not pay, we would not have this game! Please buy license, it doesnt cost too much to you, if you can afford computer, you can afford LFS license.

Since your account does not have any license, you probably have used some illegal software to unlock it.

The legal way to fix your problem is to buy S2 license and then download LFS from this site, and forget any 3rd part crack/hack/software.

Take into consideration you were watching division 2 replay. There was 49 racers and div2 consisted of the slower 24 racers. I watched the replay of div1 and it was from another world, mostly clean racing. There was one possibility for major crash, but the guy having accident was wise enough to spectate before next car hitting him.

Have to say, the pointing system doesn't much support that kind of behaviour, because if you retire from race, you get 0 points, but even if you finish your race in any position, you get really much points (ie. winner got 200, and last - position #36 got 156 points - 78% of full points)

Happy good morning!

This is almost dangerous thread opening since too many of us got bittered of current interval of updates. I am not, since the price I pay for enjoying thousands of hours of this game, is ridiculous low.

I could comment your question by quoting one month old post from Scawen:

Quote :

...make sure you are signed up for LFS newsletters. We send one usually once or twice a year when we do an update

So if the last update was in January 2017...I am not surprised if we'll have next update in few months. Let's see!

Until that, lets enjoy the many possibilities of BL4X. I have done several layouts on that one, that I wish anyone freely uses and reuses for the good of the community (there is "download all link" on my page..).

Thanks for the great round1 of DTM series. Congrats for Laguckas. Nice and strong attendance from Lithuanian racers.

I see one challenge in the organization: Players running with ping greater than 300 are a serious risk in the race. There was quite massive crash in division 2 race (lap 3 or 4, can be seen in vid below) - not sure if it was caused by lag. However I personally felt scary to follow close a car that now and then disappeared and then re-appeared in my front, after I thought it probably spectated or something.

Here is first laps of division 2 race:


(attached replay of division 2 too)

That looks nice and fun, how about LFS Bangers, don't they race on similar ovals?
