Since the patch test forum is hidden, and I can't post in the thread there, I'm writing here.

I think making the racers lap behind grey was a very good improvement - it added a lot of value to the map. However, as a not top tier racer I sometimes find myself racing cars over a lap ahead. Would be good to be able spot those drivers too, so you see the leaders are coming and that you don't need to race the guy ahead.

I recommend the color white for drivers 1 or more laps ahead.

illepall bontemps, you need to sort out whatever is bothering you. Attacking random people will lead you nowhere... fast. Perhaps it's a good idea to take your own advice - go ride your bike etc.

Hello everybody. For some of you, you might know me as Preston4321, RED, FalconF17 and many more names.

I have been "noobing" around and wrecking people on purpose in servers the past few weeks, and It needs to stop. I know I have a problem when it comes to playing right and I acknowlage that. I would like to Publicly Apologize to everbody b/c I've messed up alot of races and racers and I can asure you it WILL NOT happan anymore. I would hope the bans I have gotton in servers would be lifted but if not thats fine its the fact that I apologize that matters to me and hopfully you to.

Also on the other hand if you have any tips for new drivers like myself if you could post them thanks.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. It's funny how you understand that you need to stop only after you have been banned from everywhere.


I say keep him banned for at least 3-4 months. So he can really think it over. If he does it again, ban him indefinitely.

Hello, and welcome to LFS

1. dunno
2. no
3. currently it does not matter which manufacturers tires you use (the text on the sides is just for show). Maybe in a future version of the game the tyre manufacturer makes a difference.

eesti keeles:

1. ma ei tea
2. ei
3. vahet ei ole, et millise "tootja" rehvid all on. Loeb hoopis rehvi tüüp.

The mirror for "hover view" was also in Scawen's "already noted compatible requests" list for the test patches U, but he never got round to it, I guess. So I know he is aware of it and I believe it is on his short-term to-do list.

I, in my ignorance, don't see what could be a problem to implement this (Except having to do some work), so

Quote from vauxmondy :

Will I have to use one of my unlocks though?

Quote from Highsider9 :

Patch T is quite old. Even if it would still be accessible you would need to unlock again, since there where some changes in the unlocking system.

Ps: You can get a new unlock every month until you reach the maximum of 2 available unlocks.

Yeah, vauxmony, you get a new unlock every month (upto two total). And from what I see you haven't used an unlock or even LFS for over a year. So whats the problem?

Sry, guys... sometimes you know what you want to say but don't express it clearly.

Yeah, currently the temporary replay gets deleted when you close LFS. So, when you want to send the temporary replay (the replay of your last race) to someone (friend, moderator) and you have exited LFS (which is a logical thing to do), it is too late - the replay has been deleted. My proposal is to delete/overwrite the temporary replay only when a new race starts.

Quote from CLRS530 :

But yeah bad grammar *gg*

Sry, wheres the bad grammar... I just wasn't being clear.

Temporary replay - delete at new race start instead of after exiting LFS. At current hard disk sizes the extra 1 MB kept on your hard disk until the next race start will not be a problem, I figure.

EDIT (To clarify):

Are you shur?

And I was only kidding in the first place

Hmmm... which track has big buildings... hmmm...

Quote from aceracer :

LFS is a multiplayer game. Fullstop. The AI is not worthy to be called that. However no-one cares as no-one is into LFS to play offline...

Opininion is not fact. Fullstop.

yeah, I suggested Andros Trophy type racing for LFS some years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

Quote from BlackEye :

It sure sounds nice but a whole magazine about one game?
I don't think it would work for to long, I mean, LFS News is surerly (spelling?) enough?

Its spelled "shurley"

Quote from mostflyskaterboy :

What does ISO mean...

I don't see how the addition of good tracks would dilute the FLS experience/community/whatever.

I liked the Ky Club, KY long, and both the propsed ASton layouts (south and other). I would n't mind racing them one bit.

That's how I thought it would work.

Was kicked from a server and am trying to recover the replay of that race (I did not manage to save it). Any ideas how to? I haven't raced any races since then. So perhaps the temp.mpr still exists. I couldn't find it.

Quote from Davo :

Guess no one likes it. No one hates it either so that's good hehe

I like the picture with the two cars... if that helps

Quote from Leprekaun :

Hi all! I wanted to make a suggestion if it would be possible to widen S1 tracks (Fern Bay, South City) because when I was racing in the OWRL MRT Cup, the last combo was Fern Bay Gold and tbh, there was quite a lot of havoc. There were 14 of us in a track which I think can only accommodate the maximum number of drivers of S1 (8-11 drivers only) so it would be REALLY awkward to race at Fern Bay with 20 drivers so heres my idea, how about maybe widening the asphalt of the track because if you look at S2 tracks (Aston, Westhill) they're clearly much wider. Just a suggestion that I thought would be useful so that we can reduce the amount of havoc that happens at South City and Fern Bay.

The S1 tracks are designed with the S1 cars in mind (tighter, slower). The S2 tracks are designed with S2 cars in mind (wider, faster).

Have you tried driving the S1 cars on AS or WE tracks? It feels like your driving on an airfield...

I think its good the way it currently is.

Quote from sam93 :

What sim do you thinks better lfs or rfactor

I think lfs is the best out of the 2.

I wonder what answer would you get if you ran this poll on the rFactor forum...

Quote from Blowtus :

yes. cars should only go orange when they are a lap down, turning orange on the same lap is pointless, imho.

And how would you then differentiate the guys who are under a lap behind and the guys who are coming to lap you.

Seriously, I've seen so many differnet ides for the color coding, we even had a thread on it in the test patch forum, but all ides presented were either not well thought trough or consisted of 10 different colors...

Quote from Hoellsen :

Why are you all getting all worked up about public races anyways? They usually last 5-10 laps, which is not really racing, tbh, so just race the next race and forget about it. Will do wonders to your blood pressure.

What!?

Not everybody wants to/can drive 24 hour races ! illepall
