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.

Might be easier to just use the lfs.net SSL certificate by redirecting traffic from lfsworld.net -> lfs.net/world, just like they did with lfsforum.net -> lfs.net/forum.

I'm sorry that you feel you haven't had a nice experience on [TC] CityDriving. As for the people who have spoiled your game-play, we do have strict rules on crashing and ramming. When you first join a CityDriving server you are advised to read the server rules online at http://city-driving.co.uk/rules - These are what our admins are enforcing to try and ensure that everyone enjoys our servers.

As for your ban, you have been banned for 14 days. If you feel you've been banned unfairly you can apply for an unban and/or you can report the users who caused you problems in our reports forum. If you apply for an unban the admin that banned you will happily discuss the reasons for your ban and will grant you an unban if they feel you deserve it upon reviewing your side of the story.

Also, addressing the points you raised in your post:

• The rate at which you earn in-game money has been balanced such that you don't earn cars too quickly or too slowly. Sure it still takes a while but that's the whole point. If you want to drive cars more quickly, you can buy used ones from the Auto Market but these won't last as long.
  
  
• The '[COP]' tag has been the way police have been identified on our servers since the beginning. The reason we chose to use a tag rather than an anonymous system was so that cops could be easily identifiable. The reason for using the word 'cop' as opposed to 'police' is purely the length of the word, it doesn't take up too much of your name. Also, the original name of [TC] CityDriving was [TC] Cops 'n' Robbers so it stems from that too.
  
  
• We have a list of skin guidelines which means anyone can create a cop skin. We do have a public cop skin pack which contains approved cop skins but we allow custom ones because we wanted people to be able to use their creativity to bring new cop skins into play.
  
  
• As for cops smashing you relentlessly, this is 100% against the rules and should have been reported at the time. They are allowed to use tactical force such as a P.I.T manoeuvre, but are not allowed to ram/deliberately crash you.
  
  
• There used to be LFS community awards where people voted for various things. One of the categories was 'Best public server (cruise)' which we won on a number of occasions, but not every time. These awards haven't been run for a number of years. I think that every cruise server offers something different and the popularity of [TC] CityDriving is probably because it offers the best balance of a multitude of factors. It's all down to your preference though as to which server you believe is the best.

I hope this clears a few things up but I'm just sorry to hear you didn't have a good time after you were clearly looking forward to it for a long time.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Hmm,not sure if that would work - overwriting dds file would change skies graphically,but lighting will stay same,I believe.

Correct.

I'm kinda gutted I couldn't make this one, it deserved more drivers.

For specific servers, yes, but not for specific channels within servers I don't think. You can change your nickname per server using the nickname command:


Note that this command doesn't work on servers where the changing of nicknames is not permitted.

i bought the license 26th Jan 2017

Set a PB on an S3 combination and you should be sorted.

----------

Hello there,

I've set up a new Discord server for the Live for Speed community after the previous server hit trouble with the owner losing access to it. You can connect to it with this invitation.

Discord is a free text and voice chat application designed for gaming communities. I believe that LFS currently lacks a centre for community interaction that was previously filled by the LFS GameSurge IRC server which is now only used by those who have lurked there since the dawn of time. I hope that this server will act as some centre, other than the forum, for people to chat with others about LFS.

I hope to build it to the stage where we can set up channels for upcoming events and leagues in any driving sector (racing, drifting, cruising etc.). Currently we have channels set up for very general topics but, although we don't want to overload it, suggestions are welcome for new ones.

At the moment there are 3 server admins (TFalke55, MandulAA and myself), but I hope to recruit some moderators soon to help keep it a safe and open space for everyone to chat.

Thanks and happy chatting!

Pete

Unfortunately this collides with the BurnoutCrew CityLiga practice race otherwise I'd be there.

I like how meaty your UF1 sounds.

Have you tried running an ethernet cable from your PC directly to your router to rule out any problems with your mains/powerline adapters?

It's been suggested a lot but it would be nice to finally see full tyre change control being added to the F12 menu.

There was a race on Rockingham during CityLiga 23 where the race was lost because the leader was unlucky and changed too many tyres. It happens a lot actually but to lose a race because you didn't know the exact percentage wear on each tyre is silly. Let us choose which tyres to change, problem solved.

Riddick, that's unbelievable. Not what I expected from a driver of your caliber. What were you thinking?

I think I'm now glad I missed today's race. What a disgrace.

Nailed it Dan! Nice work.

Auto clutch has always been a sort of gentleman's agreement in LFS. There are 2 sides to every argument but when it has a very clear advantage, even in a car with only 4 gears and a track with only 2 real corners, it should either be recommended or disallowed. So long as everyone knows what the accepted clutch method is, there can be no argument.

I'm firmly in the AC camp because BC feels unrealistic and cheaty.

I got S1 13 years ago yesterday

As had been highlighted above, you're unlikely to be able to fix this easily.

Is there a hardcore racing community in LFS?

Yes.

Quote :

but I have never seen a dedicated league to pure racing here

Wat?:

https://www.lfs.net/forum/351-CityLiga

Wait what. I don't recall hindering anyone after the end.

Edit: Ok, so on rewatch I hit Jared on my victory lap. This is worth a 1 lap penalty? In a derby event? That's no fun.

Quote from pik_d :

Meaddie finished 3rd in the Bonus Run because he hit all the hidden objects in the tires. Shame about the text disappearing though.

I was gonna say, I'm fairly sure I won the bonus run

Shame about the text, Rony. Regardless, thanks for the effort you put in as always.

I won't be able to make it today, Rony, sorry about that.

Quote from Ibtasim6781 :

Still, whats the problem of it? Blackwood and Westhill are British circuits (cant remember if BL was real or fictional). Nothing will make the game different for having RHD maps or LHD maps. It depends of what the devs think of, either british or european.

The only real track in LFS is Rockingham, the rest are fictional.

Just pointing out that this patch, like 0.6P, overwrote the following files:

- data/sound/sirenfast.wav
- data/sound/sirenslow.wav

This environment is a masterpiece.
