It should not be there at all. Some people have it because the masterserver moved to an other ip some time ago.

If you want to try you should use the current ip insead of the old.

So you could try:
213.40.20.2 master.liveforspeed.net

Quote from R1K89 :I agree with that, we needed a mixture of "Dutch" and "Flemish", and now we've got it , good job

i think this should be in the official LFS package

p.s. if anyone is wondering why a part of belgium speaks almost the same language (only with accent) look on this image:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi ... Netherlands_1559-1608.jpg
Netherlands, Belgium and luxembourg used to be one country (a long time ago)
But i still think one thing is strange. in that time it was called: "De Nederlanden" in dutch and "The Netherlands" in english, and now "Holland" only is called "Nederland" in dutch BUT in english its still called "The Netherlands". (You would say it has to change to Netherland )

There are still other countries part of "Kingdom of The Netherlands". The Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. So no need to change it (yet).

Quote from Bose321 :Why belgium? its ALMOST the same as Dutch.

Waarom belgie's, het is bijna het zelfde als nederlands

Because he wants too, because there are differences and because he allready made a belgian language file. Why make games in UK English and US English?

Quote from Deem0n :Can anybody give me a direct link on the patch X?

I used the ingame update (you can choose different mirrors there).

Yes, that and my digital speedometer. But it's still there so it's not realy an improvement suggestion. It's not unusual that some settings have to be re-done after an upgrade.

It's great, i like the starts how they are now.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of visable cars? I can't find that in the menu. My pc has problems handling all the cars in T1, but when the field expands more it goes fine. Or is this the time to upgrade

Quote from XCNuse :Why? LFS already has a code for ice in it. (No I'm not kidding either, the ramps are made of ice according to LFS.)

Wasn't there ice in the early demo's of LFS?

That i didn't think of that myself.

Quote from duke_toaster :Surely if there are differences there could be a Dutch (Netherlands) and a Dutch (Belgium) pack, in the same way that there is a Portugese (Portugal) and a Portugese (Brazil). Or ignore this post if this isn't what you are talking about.

Yes, it are very small differences in politeness. I think something like British English and American English

Quote from kiss me :i just changed things like
je naar u enzo
meer de beleefdheidsvorm gebruikt

Jullie zijn wat beleefder in Belgie. In Nederland spreken we niet iedereen met u aan (alleen oude mensen en mensen in een functie die gezag uitstraald).

Quote from Blackout :The flag system doesn't work that well to be honest. Many times you can notice a car in mid corner and after you already passed it the yellow flag shows up. Pretty much useless because it doesn't work properly and you can't really trust it as it doesn't work.

They should give time penalty's for passing under yellow flag (and setting lap record and stuff that shows your not slowing down)

Quote from GruntOfAction :U get owned!

lol seriously though the best thing to do if u lose controll and crashing press Shift+S.

It can mean the difference of having a 1st place guy lose or win!

I don't like that. In a 20 car race only 7 or 8 finish because of this behavior. Just do everything you can to avoid other drivers. Other drivers making mistakes and you reacting on that is part of racing.

What i do think is stupid is cars that crash and park in a corner to watch the race because they can't be competitive anymore. If someone now crashes or loses control in that corner they crash into them.

1. Test Drive was great. Driving exotic cars throug mountains and beaches.

Also Stunt was a lot of fun back then. I think Stunts was the first 3d racing game.

3. Carmagadon. The cars drove terrible, but for this game it did not mather. Gameplay was fun

2.TOCA Touring Car Championship. Played it a lot. Tried to overtake half of the field in the first corner, and it usualy turned out good (but compared to carmagadon that was clean racing )

The site also sends spam under the name of one off your msn contacts (who off course never have send that message to you).

If you try to unsubscribe for the spam you had to call a service number and even that was fake. You don't unsubscribe because when you left open the e-mailadress you got the same message.

Quote from Greboth :Great fun lol driving round with no supsension for 20 laps lol.

I don't think the races need to be shortened, 33 laps of a track that is left than a minute to drive is not really that long a race. From spectating and then leaving the problem seemed to more that racing around south city people were tapping the walls and damaging the suspension and there is no pit for repair then people were auto pitting to continue racing. Or people, like me, went to spectate and couldn't be bothered to wait 20 minutes for the next race. Also as said fuel was a problem i realised at the start i had about 2% less fuel onboard than i needed, as no pits to fill up, i has choice of coast to save fuel or to run out at the end of the race.
So i think the main problem last night was the lack of pits. People were getting damaged, low on fuel etc with no other way to sort it out than shift S and be out of the race effectively.

Maybe it needs more time. If you run out of fuell you will make sure that won't happen again. Same for the hitting the wall thing. If people notice they can reach podiumplaces by driving more carefull they will take less risk and more people will finish.
