I think KATT is followed by "HIGH PERFORMANCE SPRINGS" for the bottom slogan thing that you can't read. I'm pretty sure about it, can someone second this?
Check current skins, I'm not sure but I think there is a default XRR skin that has KATT in it. If I recall it says High Performance something something, but I might be wrong.
Not sure if we do have default liveries in LFS featuring KATT either, I might have gotten mixed up with the slogans of another "fake" company on a skin.
But just check, in case.

you sim raced as a wee little 2 year old? Jesus christ, it's mini max verstappen all over again! 
^ What he said.
I'd just buy S2 at the moment, S3 isn't a need unless you definitely want Rockingham. Because besides that one track, that's basically just S3 at the moment. Not saying S3 won't have new content in the future, but that's all it provides currently.

Oh, Box box box! Haven't caught up with EB's videos in a while. thanks for reminding me Adam 
LOL sorry just caught back up to this thread. Well burnt, Rony.
@awesome Well, if you're not up to speed in terms of skill, no wheel will make you faster than your sidewinder. I listed the DFGT because its a pretty good industry standard - it can do whatever you ask it to do in today's modern sims, really. If you wish to splurge on a G29 or Fanatec, go ahead. But I'm telling you its not worth it right now.
In perspective, if you are just starting out in guitar, you won't jump straight into a 11k Gibson Custom shop Les Paul would you?
With your sidewinder, its kind of like you using your old granddad's guitar from the 90s that's worth 10p - something to get the feels on. Then you make a small, but noticable leap up to something better, like a Epiphone (or DFGT in this case).
I see. No way to remove mirror unless you use a VOB mod, which is illegal in most LFS servers.
You can try to decrease the FOV so you sit further in front and have a "looking forward" view. Should bypass the mirror.

Get a used DFGT, it might be a step up, unless you are using a old DFGT already (wait, 20 years? idk).
They go for something like 60 pound in used market if you have negotiation skills. Got mine for something like 68 i think after conversion. Save up a little bro.

Huh? How do you position the camera for the rear view mirror to even be an obstruction
There lies the other problem then - have you ever thought of getting a new wheel? Older wheels may lag and have compatability issues that make driving on them not as a fun experience than today's wheels.
Use default LFS textures, turn all graphics to basically lowest, close all other running app in windows background. Celeron is not a good processor and with your ram and other specs the current FPS is really just the max your pc can give. I had a Pentinum core laptop and it could never go above 115 in any setting. Just limitations each computer has.
Hello all 
Have been very busy with life and other stuff. Is the interest still here for fancy layouts? Should I keep making 'em?

Ever thought of upgrading your skill? [intense skill upgrading button pressing]
I'm a couple tenths off Mikke but I don't complain, if you have the time to create a false account to omplain you have the time to practice.
No one is restricting you from hotlapping too, its just how the world works here in sim racing. There lie records, and records are meant to be broken.

Like someone pointed out before - No need to make more different editions of one single car. We look forward to new cars, not some weird different configuration for the same cars we've run since UM first joined
Get someome to go into the server and kick you out, or the server host will do it remotely. If that doesn't work, like Rony said, the server needs to be reset and rebooted.
It happens when there is a failure/desync in the connection between the server host, LFS hosting system and the user's computer. You physically are booted or out of the server but virtually your account gets stuck in the server.
This is not to be linked with actual disconnection or latency issues direct between the user and the LFS. that just causes your normal DC or JOOS.
This is at least what I know and think is happening. I may be just talking shit lol

The FOX is similarly weighted and balanced to the FE cars of today (closest match).
The gearbox can be ratioed in a manner that eliminates the use of gears 3 through 6.
I've done the same in the FOX without any tweak. Its not needed lol.
Just adjust the gearing, put R4s, and the engine sounds and you have a Formula E car.

Its okay for a wheel, until you note that even the Momo wheel is better :/
Im not saying its bad, just that it pales in comparision too, and is kinda horrible when you look at what wheels are currently.

@sermilan
Ah. Just also realised he uses a Microsoft Sidewinder... one of the most horrible wheels you can gey that is still branded somehow.. might explain a quarter of the driving..

Read it.
No need to start dual threads whining about the same thing.
Your negativity towards making progress and feedback makes me feel that you simply don't have the talent to be a racing driver - that is, if you keep saying "this and that don't work at all".
Practice makes perfect. You set a goal, like a certain time. If you constantly fail to make the time, watch a replay, and analyse it to see where you lose time (apex speed? braking? lines?)
Then go back with your knowledge and try again.
Setups work. I sometimes take time to get used to them too. They handle differently - but the difference is what it takes to go faster. Some setups are unstable on purpose, and you have to adjust your driving to get the best out of the set. It's the reason why default setup is shit, and something like, I don't know, a WR set, isn't?
You use a wheel. That's brilliant. You should be able to control the throttle and brake application more than keyboard or mouse users can. Use it to your advantage by balancing the car on corners.
I was primilarly a mouse user (and still am), but recently got a wheel. I was doing 1:11s in mouse on BL Historic FBM on mouse, and when I first used the wheel (even with past experience), I was barely scraping 1:14s. After a few days, I could there or there about, manage competitive 1:12s. It's not your actions that shows. It's the results that speak for themselves, speak for what you've done for yourself, and speak for those very actions that made those results you wanted.
If you still refuse to sweat it out and learn the hard way, then I have to refer to my earlier point, that honestly, you simply lack the skill and 6th sense of a racing driver; similar to how musicians work - "Some people just can't do it".
But I refuse to conclude at that. I believe you can do better.
Go back, watch races, onboards of racing cars (stock, open wheel, depending on what you want to race in). See how pros take lines, apply the throttle, etc. Then, watch LFS races. Learn from those too.
Then go to practice.
I don't know how to put it. It's just something you yearn for; that drive, thirst, that you get after watching a race, or get a fast time in.
Come back when you've made progress. Or need help, and tips. If not...
Don't come back if you just want to spread negativity and fck about with everyone saying nothing works for you. There are many other people going through trials and tribulations you go through too, to become a fast driver. You are not an exception.
It may be harder for you, but it just means the rewards will be much more relieving.
Peace out.
(Not being dissy, just being straightforward, as I always am lol)
