You can already use the mouse y-axis for throttle and brake. The mouse axis can taken in a wheel-setup. You don´t need to have a wheel for using a wheel setup.

You all are to fast for me, cant believe that all racers are faster than i. This is why i have stopped driving in STCC/CTRA. Im just to slow, and i think its not why i use Mouse Axes for steering/throttle/brake.

No, this skins can no other player see, its just for the one which install the skin, thats like a private music horn for myself or private dds textures just for me, like the desert mod.

Hotlapping, ranks and LFSworld:
... Able to make skins for the suits/store them in LFSW

Yes didnt Search for suit, my fault. But im happy that my translater told me the right word

At time are only helmet user-skins possible and only a few default suit skins. It will be nice to change the suit outfit.

Reason for suggestion:
In CTRA are the player hacker models not allowed and i don´t like the default racer suits.

+1 for adjustable mirror angle
+1 for mirror special fov
+1 for possibility to get out of the car and flip the rolled over car back to the wheels with gordon freemans graviton or just hand power.

Quote from Woz :

FYI.. LFS uses dds now for skins beause its better for the gfx card so I doubt that it will change again. That was a recent change btw when the skin download system came in.

you are wrong, LFS convert the jpg to dds for the gfx cache. for download it just use the jpg. And the png can after download just also be converted to dds, where is the problem?
Some skins with big color surfaces and text and lines can be very much smaller than jpg by a better resolution. JPG is just needed for Photo realistic skins. Therefore i dont understand why LFS dont use png for color surfaces and Text and lines and JPG for Photo realistic skins. I dont see where is the difficulty to do this @ devs.

-1 for back to the old removed reset

maybe should be included a possibility to flip a car, but only a real flip at the same place where the car at roof. Please not a unrealistic flip to the track. And if somebody flip hes car he should get a stop and go penalty, thats a good idea.

It can just be a Approximation, a accurate fastest lap is impossible to calculate. LFS is not a game which know results, LFS just calculate physics. No lap will be the same like another lap, it need eternally calculations.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Are you crazy? Not everyone can afford a wheel, and they just don't want to drive with mouse.

I guess the steering aids for keyboard use are to much. IRL it wont be possible to drive a real car with a keyboard. Only because of alot of aids is it possible to drive with it, and i guess some racers wont learn to use axes of joysticks, wheels and mouses for absolutely control of brake force and throttle force and steering wheels position because they will use the aids.
If they wont use a mouse, and cant use a wheel, why cant they use a joystick to? And whats wrong with the mouse? In counter strike will they aim a weapon, that need a great precision, why cant the same persons use the mouse for steering a car?? This i really cant understand.

learning to use buttons or joystick axes to watch left and right and behind the car - around the car make just your skill higher. IRL must u move your head, and in game must u move joystick, mouse, or press buttons, thats more realsitic than use chase view and all the wallhacking views.
It make just the game better, because you get a better skill while practice.

+1 for forced cockpit view, it give enough visual feedback to control the car perfectly. Thats why i play LFS, because in all the other from me tested racing games are the visual feedback and the physics bad.
-1 for ban mouse users
+1 for ban keyboard users
-1 for mirror for chase view, because its no realistic driving view, its like a cheating view, and crazy harry should learn to drive in an realistic view like cockpit view and learn to use the watch out buttons.

The curving part of the german E45 (A7) Kirchheim-Kassel will be a very great additional in LFS, i love this part very much - much hills and fast curves.

Screenshot of the out of bounds bug This place should be out of bounds, but isnt.

Thats a bad idea, a better idea is removing the reset ability completely that no admin can setup it accidentally. car reset is annoying and unrealistic and ruins races and practice and cruising.

PS: I have the filter on, the servers with car reset on does not exist for me.

Add the "can reset" info to lfs-world in "Racers & Hosts online"

Quote from 5th Earth :

I'm pretty sure that's lag, not a LOD problem.

No, you are wrong, its a LOD-Problem, i tested it self, i have only GF 6600
Also if the mirror LOD be high, cars 50 meters behind are not drawn.
If the Mirror LOD down will Cars 10 meters behind not drawn.

Quote from GieTe-R :

Hmm... maybe replay can have saved frames of these? And then maybe in some place can be placed entry to enter frame number of replay like this

No, in the replay are no frames saved, its not a movie. In a replay ios just this information saved which be sent through the network. In 3D Frames are this 3 or 4 Frames/sec. Just while the replay is running, the lfs.exe create new 2D frames with your settings.

3) The player list on large servers is very long, and finding someone's name in this list can be quite a job. Please consider highlighting someone's name if they have addressed you using your full racers name. People might ask you a question ("can i have your set please?"), and it'd be nice to easily pick out their name to respond to them.

Connection-List Changes Player Status and car and Sort-Ability, lag-bars, ping and Highlighting of spectated Players in Connection List

Quote from ste_ :

4) I'd like some simple stats for each set I have. eg: how many miles on each course (or the course I'm currently on) I have done with a named set, what my best time was with it and when I last used it. Often I get into a particular combo and get a good set for it, then don't race that combo again for months. When I come back to it i have all these sets and I can't for the life of me remember what set I used to use. If I had some simple stats I would be able to see what set I'd used the most for a combo, or what set I got a good time with, and so know what set I should use. Also, a way to enter some notes about a set would be grand too.

+1 great idea

Quote from ste_ :

5) When you are speccing a full race, there is no 'join' button on the menu screen. But if you go into your garage, there's a join button there (even tho clicking it won't do anything). Please consider having both buttons always present, but simply greyed out if the host is full and no space for you to join a race. And of course as soon as there is a space, both buttons would be ungreyed out and clickable.

+1 great idea

Quote from Rascar13 :

Its works fine with me.... I can search 'Reason' and there come threath up with Reason as title

You must search only the suggestions forum and not all forums. In Advanced Search right down can you select the forum in which you wanna search. And im sure, u haven´t find the Thread Reason for kick and ban.

The Forum Search is very bad.

• If u search "connection list" it dont find "connection-list".
  
• If u search "connection-list" it dont find connection list
  
• if u search "Reason" in the suggestions forum with "Search Thread Titles Only" you get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." But there are Threads, thats true, for example: Reason for kick and ban

Backwards is impossible because its not a movie, the game is still running, it cant running backwards. Possible is the ability to jump to another place in the replay and cutting replays, the devs should make this at first. Replay improvements are suggested before many times.

Pause is already possible, press P.

Im searching for the update W48 to X but didnt find, the autoupdate will load 26 MB - 2.2 MB are needed, this is wasting of traffic and bandwith i guess.
