Contact the developers (Scawen, Eric, Victor) like Eclisped said via https://www.lfs.net/mailus

They will engage with you further there with prospects. Forum isn't really a good place Tongue
But any joint venture or sponsorship is good and a few actual Karts in LFS would be a warm welcome, especially on the purpose built kart tracks in Westhill.

I think the wind noise is a bit excessive in cockpit view, engine should be louder

In TV cam view wind noise should be non existent as there is no changing variable (moving camera), its static

For the rear wing cam the sound is just fine, almost feels and sounds like a low budget GoPro on a F3 car you see.

Imo wind noise indicates a low budget camera setup, so if that is what a future mod is going after then this is near perfect besides the changes that could be madr in paragraphs 1-2.

If not I think close to perfect audio is the way to go as camera and audio systems these days aren't this muffled or bad with wind.

But good attempt and nice vid Big grin

Quote from MousemanLV :because lfs in its current state doesnt appear to be any serious, a bit like a historic piece. so why would most even bother - most lfs drift servers have turned from good to toxic, most cruise servers have turned from fun to ego-fest all around and race servers have turned from good to having just cruisers participate on them without having any actual skill

A full race server is already a win for me in today's scenario here...

I think you mean a global rating system across all servers. That is hard to justify as LFS doesn't just have racing servers - cruise, fun, crash and drift servers exist and it will be hard to generalise a safety rating for every server and to meet each server's requiremwnts.

Now the best method is to remember the person's IP whetehr through your admin program or a piece of paper, and banning whenever that IP reenters the server.

A better solution is a program or LFS coding that could better execute IP bans for a user.
Nova's Layouts Part 15

*Layout updated 17/4/2021



Broker Hill National (Revised)




The next installation of the layout series is here, and this is nostalgic (at least for me!)




Broker Hill is situated in the steep incline in Westhill main car park, which itself presented a challenge in routing the layout. The original version of track ran for a season in the LCS UF1 championship in 2017.


A full rerouting of second sector as well as track expansion resulted in this great track.
This is the first time I've experimented with a figure-8 (bridge) track, and it turned out nice!

Due to the surface of Westhill car park, paired with the steep incline, you may find this track challenging and bumpy! The track boasts several lightly banked corners, as well as a Fountain-of-Wealth structure; which is also part of Turn-1 kerbing! A very flowy track that rewards you with a grin after you've fought the bumps and hucks it gives you.

Maybe hey, @mbutcher @nikoPdr Maybe you can try taking on this track, it's bumpier than you might expect! Tongue Fortune favors the brave!




Marking the 13th (wow!) track in this series spanning over two years, I can only say..
Have fun, and see you in the next installation of this series!

Rockingham Tarmac Rally Stage


First off, I'd like to thank everyone for sticking around until now - 14 episodes of layoutting! Thank you all!




A rather short but fun road surface rally stage around Rockingham! With several switchbacks and tight corners mixed in with some fast sections, this course will put your skills to the very test.

From the start, the path takes you through the exhaust test tunnel, through the back-roads, into the skidpad and past the main track, looping back to the paddock. A fun, yet interesting layout!

This year will be quite busy. However! Hopefully there will be one or two (or even more) circuit (race) layouts to come.

Meanwhile, have fun around the Rock!

Quote from bishtop :And what do you base your opinion on if you do not own s3 or even s2 ? Big grin

@OP - Quite a bit of work went into making the rockingham track such as being laser scanned,so if you want something that is based on a real life race track and something that is graphically much much better than the other available tracks (except blackwood + westhill) then its worth the investment.

I have hardly raced on it but thats only due to sticking to one track at a time so i can improve my times then i will be shifting my focus onto it

It can be seen that the developers are working on updating some of the current tracks which means there is a possibility of other additional content which could be released as s3 licensed content]

Hmm, no Bish I doubt there will be any additional content put to S3 from this particular update. S3 will only get updated once the new track is completed.

Blackwood and Westhill are updated, both now have "free roam" ability out of the main track. Otherwise, the editor has been updated to be more efficient (in theory), and Rockingham has been released in S3 a couple years back, also free roaming.

Not much else after, if you are a fan of the Rock or wish to add another track to race on then by all means S3 is the way to go. You might also benefit from the odd race event at Rockingham and of course the added track to explore, but if I'm honest I'd stay out of it if you are contented with S2....

Until the new update the devs are working on gets released.

Quote from lucaf :Very nice! Grid looks dense, may cause traffic in T1. After a quick look I like everything but I feel little bit "hmm...why?" about the sharp apex that can be seen in the first gif above (the latter corner) - ah you ran out of objects, right? Big grin.

Nooo! Because no other kerb was right feel when going over. Only right angle kerb was nice to drive over Tongue

Also I just updated the .lyt file. Swimming pool to Rascasse now has the Casino De Monte Carlo bridge and buildings, and new podium!

But make sure server owners updste their Entry/Welcome screen message with a "lfspro,net is a prohibited phrase" or something, incase people accidently say it - not saying everyone will, but some will in a rare case.

Can I just suggest, as it appears they usually visit to spam and leave, probably on borrowed accounts;

Maybe servers with Insim or program like Airio, lfslapper or other, perhaps server owners and team managers can add the phrase "lfspro,net" to a blacklist Bad Language? So the user gets kicked/banned (whichever).

Better still if the entire first (in the case of the first report where user spam several phrases before reaching the word lfspro) Brazilian phrase can be added to blacklist, so when first phrase gets spammed he gets banned immediately before he can spam the following sentence with "lfspro" link to it.

Just two ideas. Of course report will have to be made for Scawen to remove the user totally, bur at least instaban will definitely discourage those people from promoting the server

Hi all!

It has been a long time. Due to a busy schedule tracks and layouts might be on the snail pace for this year.
Couple more in the works hopefully able to get them out before end of 2nd quarter of this year!

Meanwhile, here's a slightly revised Mini Monaco track with a different Sector 2 and wider track at last few corners.
How has your 2019 started so far? What tracks would you like to see made?



Piscine The Swimming Pool chicane

La Rascasse

Revised track suitable for FBM or GTi, UF1 for larger grids.


*Original post w/ original track with extended Sector 2 :

Quote from Brilwing :I have watched the replay now multiple times, because I was in the car behind. Azyer had a poor first corner and I was about 5 kph faster on the straight. And pulled to right for the overtake. As I was beside Azyer he also pulled to the right and I was already beside him, so we collided and he pushed me to the right. I stayed on the right and we reached the braking zone for the second corner. During braking there was first enough room on the right, but Azyer pulled again to the right during braking (here the video starts) and therefor we collided a second time. This causes the flipover for him that is very unfortunate.

If anybody is interested in watching the replay: It is Lap 94 in the replay and starts at: 2:05:10

Yeah, I have to agree Azyer defended too late on the straigbt making contact which is not correct. Down the hill into the hairpin he probably did not expect you to stay on his right because its an unlikely overtake position, gave you barely enough room but I guess contact was inevitable once he turned in.

Rolled back onto the wheels but race was pretty much over in early half of race from shoving at the start

Tweak + follow the road (i guess).

Either that, or ghost mod to submarine under the track and grab the sector beams then cut across to the next one. Big Eye

Not the way our #11 entry would have liked the race to turn out but it provides very good slow-mo footage Shrug

Quote from nikopdr :Ah, i see Big grin thanks, was just asking this because i thought of giving possible vouchers away for a friend, but he also said no need as he'll just buy s2 soon. i'll just drop in to the races without signup.

also i can't attend first round, my pc decided to pull a neat stunt of corrupting my windows install yesterday alongside with other several issues ive been fixing now for a long while, and quali seems to start in 10 minutes so i won't have any time at all as ive yet to install lots of drivers Big grin

Don't worry niko I won the race on your behalf Tongue

@Falke

Just to clarify, button clutch is not allowed, yes? So in settings Auto Clutch has to be set to [Yes]?

But I can still physically override the Autoclutch by pressing clutch when shifting up or down, correct? Does that still count as button clutch use? Even with AC set to "Yes"
