Quote from cargame.nl :

iR has no cruise.. This topic is about a cruise server .. Quite strange how this derails.. But seems like [TC} manages the last days?

Actually we started getting attacked again this morning. Server one's name has been poached again.

Server two and three are still online.

Edit: Whoever it was this time got bored, all servers are back.

We have 2 additions to our LFS lineup to announce!

Adam "k_badam" Brown joined the [TC] team earlier this year and having been a part of the winning team of this year's CityLiga 24, we are delighted to welcome him to [TC-R] as the latest addition to our LFS driver lineup.

We would also like to announce that Jack "Renegade" Eyre has joined [TC-R] and will be representing us in iRacing as well as Live for Speed. Jack has a few years of experience with iRacing and will be helping some of the team to make the transition to that sim before the end of the year.

Welcome to the team Adam and Jack!

I'm afraid so. It's been running since 2004 and in recent seasons the level of competition and attendance has dropped to the point where it just wouldn't be right for it to continue.

The live stream replay from the final ever round is now up on the CityLiga YouTube channel.

The final EVER CityLiga race is happening now!

Here's the live stream link which should start at ~19:30 UTC+1: https://gaming.youtube.com/user/cityliga

Quote from Skinzinho :

I can see now many reasons for Cargame.nl answer things like his post. We try to help, but they simply ignore and never answer messages

What's that supposed to mean?

Quote from cargame.nl :

Not sure what you are referring about but this is not a topic where help is requested, is it?

Actually I never opened a topic like this, do not really see the point of it other then that it keeps the enemy motivated to get it's so desperately wanted attention.

It was just to let players know what was going on with our servers. There was a lot of confusion initially and I wouldn't have normally done it but we felt it necessary to have a source of information people were more likely to trust.

Potentially but obviously cannot confirm.

All 3 CityDriving servers are down again and their names have been poached. Do not connect there.

Stay on topic please...

Quote from Skinzinho :

By the way, if TC guys are renting a dedicated host, why not blocking a range of IPs on firewall? It should work on most cases.

We tried all of this, with little success so far. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry about that, I've heard similar reports recently. I'll try and sort that out today. AdSense is a pain sometimes.

Quote from Averro :

Thanks for the update Chuck, I was wondering what was happening.
Truely pathetic what is happening, thank you TC team for trying to sort everything out. Is there something the LFS devs can do on their behalf, I am wondering?

Victor is helping us with a few things, but sadly he cannot help us to mitigate the attack itself, that's up to us.

UPDATE

Our LFS server status is as follows (updated 19:42 UTC+1 25/07/17):

All servers are locked

[TC] CityDriving One: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] CityDriving Two: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] CityDriving Three: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] CityDriving Four: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] CityDriving Training: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] Events: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] Racing: Legitimate - Locked
[TC] Racing 2: Legitimate - Locked

The physical status of the servers can be found here

The attack is still ongoing so read on for further details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

Please do not connect to any [TC] branded servers for the time being as we cannot guarantee that they are ours.

All [TC] Gaming services, including our forum, websites and LFS servers are currently experiencing a severe Denial of Service attack and have been for several days. As a result, our LFS servers keep losing connection to the master server which is letting a certain group of individuals start up fake servers under our name. This group are also masquerading as [TC] members around LFS. Please note that any InSim that may be running on these servers is not ours.

The origin of this attack was blackmail for an unban by certain members of the Arabic LFS community. We will not submit to blackmail and we will not negotiate with the attackers. Evidence, including screenshots, server logs and text dumps are available on request.

Until such a time that we can end the disruption, please do not connect to any LFS server with [TC] branding as we cannot guarantee that it is one of ours. Rest assured, we have not been hacked, all of our data is intact and we are working extremely hard to resolve these issues.

The people responsible for this attack are de facto criminals and should be treated as such.

You can keep up to date with our status in this thread, on our Facebook page, via our Twitter accounts, or on our Discord server.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope to resume normal service as soon as possible.

The [TC] Team

Seeing as you brought 2 very nice kart tracks to Weshtill, which no current LFS cars really suit, surely karts make more sense in the short term than bikes or any other new vehicle types.

Nice MTB. I'm still rocking a 12 y/o Scott. Good as new.

Interested to see what these 'effects' are.

Quote from Scawen :

I think maybe it was too harsh to switch on cheat protection will the automatic temporary bans enabled. They could cause some inconvenience to users who were 'innocent' as well as those who did want to cheat.

I have now enabled the cheat protection with CPW kick enabled, but with bans switched off.

For the sake of helping people who are new to the game or who might not know that a certain mod is not allowed, could we get a list of the things that the cheat protection system actually checks for? I'd understand if you didn't want to go into too much detail in case people use the information to circumvent the CPW system but it's hard to be useful as a server admin when people are asking why they've been kicked (or previous banned). Also, a lot of people seem to think that it's us (the server provider), that's issuing the ban, and not the game. Making that clearer would be appreciated.

Quote from Racon :

I have my monitor as close to my wheel as possible - it's literally touching the back of my wheel. The closer it is, the more of your field of vision is taken up by it.

Judging from every rig pic I've ever seen though, I'm in the minority in thinking that this is important

I also believe in this approach.

He did it! Now for the championship!

Missed it again... Hope it went well.

Ha, nice

I actually remember the video you're talking about... I can't remember when I saw it or who it was by though.

Thrustmaster T300 599XX EVO 30 Alcantara Edition Racing Wheel
Fanatec CSR Elite Pedals
Thrustmater TH8A Shifter
GT Omega Racing Wheel Stand and Shifter Mount

If you mean how do you update to the latest patch (LFS0.6R), in LFS go to Multiplayer > Display list of hosts > Choose a download mirror

If you mean how do you access more content/licensed servers, head to https://lfs.net/shop and purchase a license. I recommend an S2/S3 license as there aren't that many active S1 servers these days.

I've made enquiries and I'll get back to you via private message once I know exactly what happened.
