Quote from hooty256 :

You mean like this...just a pity it isn't in LFS

I think they look cool personally, add some style to the car.

Yeah because the tracks are cirular so its to help them steer into the corner easier, so...yeah

Quote from jarre :

Looks like fun espescially if we can get the mud spray from the road

Only thing is how stupid the thing on the roof looksillepall
Is it there for downforce when their sideways or..?

Ah cheers for the info mate

Quote from ajp71 :

I'd keep your eyes peeled at iRacing they've already got two short track cars in the intial line up of three cars and assuming it'll be moddable it looks like stock cars could be an obvious early addition. They're are also some dirt tracks for N2003 if that's your thing. There was also a stock car mod but you'll have to look hard for it because it was banned in the whole First law suit fiasco.

Hi People,

Just like to say im a massive fan of the game (LFS), and wondering if anyhow the above title could be implemented into the game (LFS) as to be able to race with stock cars, would be ideal for the rally track or maybe the real life tracks made up into the game.

Not sure if alot of you know about it, so hear is a link of a video.

It is mayhem stock car racing - no hold bars lol.

Check the vid out.

I know 99% of the replies will be a no to my question, but ive met a few people racing online on LFS, who are into the same thing (Stock Car Racing).

Hope you like the video anyway

last time i checked, my local pc world had it for under £10 and there wqs one with a damaged case for £4

Cheers mate, will look into it

Intresting...I might have to buy RBR after all the glowing praise it has received off you people.

I had Colin Mcrae 3 and 4 but was such an awful game unlike the very first Colin Mcrae, which was in my eyes when the rally genre was born on PC.

:wow:

Yeah i wernt being funny, just wondered why.

I will be buying the S2 licence soon

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Catch 22; People don't play in the S1 servers because there are, or there is perceived to be, few players there.

Solution; Either get a critical mass of people to move back to the S1 servers, or eternally play in the Demo servers.

Just to add to this, why does nobody go in the S1 server?

After paying for the licence etc we all race in the demo server.

Strange

Thanks for the reply mate.

Sorted now..thanks

Quote from zeugnimod :

Yes, as you are S1 licenced, they have to download it themselves to see it.

Automatic skin download is only implemented since S2.


Ehm..but then again, if you upgraded to the patch with S1 content, it should work, shouldnt it? Then, the reason is probably, that the skin isnt uploaded to LFSW.

Thanks alot mate, your bang right, i race in the demo server as S1 server is empty every single time i go in there.

So thanks for taking the time out.

Cheers

Quote from Tweaker :

My guess is this....

Picotto, are you playing on Demo servers? Because if you are, the skin download feature does not work in Demo mode. And seeing that you are S1 licensed, that probably means there is no S1 licensed servers available really. I know this because people who are S1 licensed cannot really find any servers to race on other than demo. So, if you are driving on Demo, it will not work.

Hi,

I downloaded a Budweiser skin from this website, it's installed correctly and it shows when i race, however know one else can see my skin (shows as default skin)

Is this because they must have the skin installed aswell to be able to see mine?

Thanks for your time.

Wrecker in action

If you download full S patch it should play in that.

How do you play that replay?

Quote from _rod_ :

unfotunally we cant control demo servers..i dont remember wich demo server are the best, but im sure someone can point that out for me.

Hope you enjoy our forum

Well i was racing on one today..cant remember the name and there were some real nice people on there (For a change), was racing from 12pm till about 7pm with about 3 wreckers...but i managed to convince people to ban them

Quote from _rod_ :

picotto you are racing on s1 servers or demo? Just wondering

I registered to that forum by the way Rod

Quote from _rod_ :

Demo as knowbody is ever in S1.

I have S1 licence and will be upgrading to S2 soon

Quote from vanirl :

Maybe we should name and shame?

Rainbow and Up Na are 2 that spring to mind for me...total wreckers

Avoid UP NA, Rainbow and someone with Chinese writing as his name.

There all cheat, ruin races and kick everyone off the server.

Pissed me off.

I was having a great race last night with some real nice people.

This twat called Up Na and his pal were crashing into everyone, then somehow managed to kick everyone one of the server.

3 hours of racing went to waste.

The problem is this happens all the time when i race

Quote from Tony01Ball01 :

Hi

I recently raised a thread on the quality of LFS. I was shocked and stunned at getting 95 replies within a day. Most having a go at me, but
when the responses are (mostly) written in a sensible, integillent, and even at times - emotional, it's hard to defend what I said. I'm almost certainly missing something with LFS, and I'm going to batter that Lotus 7 looking type car for a few hundred miles to see what.

However, the majority of comments refer to the on-line experience, and I believe that's what I'm missing - but here is why.

1. I go online.
2. I qualify, after about thirty minutes.
3. The race starts.
4. First corner, there is a crash, those that crash - disconnect.
5. The 8-person race is down to five.
6. Person No5 was also in the crash, but his damage was not as bad, he decides to go on, but only a lap to get to the start / finish line, or the nastiest bend on the circuit.
7. Person No5 then starts to practise his do-nuts, mid race.
8. The other 'sensible' racer's continue, until they hit do-nut man; head on. Its' bad (they were doing 120mph..!!), another two are out, taking do-nut man out too.
9. There are two people left. One of them has been using LFS for 3 years and is therefore, faster than a really fast thing.
10. After two laps, the dude with 3 years behind him is 4 laps ahead, or he may as well be, Tony is left racing around on his own.
11. The race is over - the cycle repeats.

As can be seen, it's little wonder I have only really used the off-;ine AI based mode to LFS, little wonder I'm a little 'negative' about it's capabilities.

With the above in mind, any clues as to how I find half a dozen real people to race with every now and again.

Thanks in advance people, and thanks for the time taken with my previous thread, it's been an eye opener.


Tony

Totally agree mate.

****ed off with twats after two laps crash then decide to ruin everyone elses race.

I wish there was a super server that automatically known people who joined...where there to race and not **** about.

Ive sorted it now.

For those who have the same problem, go to graphics and change the Wheel view setting from All to Off.

Quote from tristancliffe :

In LFS I think you turn off simple wheels. Don't know about the viewer, but you do know the Viewer should NOT be in the same folder as LFS - it's a standalone application.

Thanks...will have a mooch

Hi,

Please see screen shot, are the wheels supposed to be like this??

Thanks
