Quote from Drunken Predator :

One thing that ive noticed with the patch is that the frames have significantly dropped, i even had some serious issues in South city playing on pubs last night.. It used to be stable 70-100 but now its dropping at times to 20-30! Any idea what could cause this?

I think this is the cause (source http://www.lfs.net/?page=patch_y) :

"South City :

Many graphical updates and new configuration added"

I'm guessing the game is just graphically evolving

Quote from Jonas8431 :

delete all pb´s, yes, and alll travelled distance, laps... racer stats i mean.

that makes no sense. Why would you delete distance and laps?

Quote from Zucar :

...rant...
Just one view in 6 billion, one view that feels you have cheapened your excellence and chosen a course that is at best sickening.

Going by what you wrote, your view is not worth much... Apparently not even 1/6000000000

Quote from bbman :

How was FE updated? I didn't notice any change except the ads are now .jpg, adding tyres to one corner isn't exactly updating imo...

I'ts important to learn to read before trying to pull off sarcastic snipes.

Quote from The Very End :

But when that is said, Scawen take the christmas off.
I suggest you take a step back and enjoy this happy time of year with your familiy.
Come back in 2008 and start working again tho, and what ^ said, small updates doesn`t need to be made posts about on the forum. If it`s an AI upgrade it`s included in the filename on the autodownloader, and everyone will understand what it does.

Merry Christmas Scawen resent:

Quote from Inouva :

Thx for the credit -.-

dude, that's low...

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

The pit walls and dividers have been doing this since S2 was released I think...

Got auto banned on the P!!nk server today because of that

yep, its a bummer we cant rewind

You know some cars exceed the speed limit because other cars are tailgating down the pit entrance (I mean they are touching the car in front and pushing it). For example I did a race in SO Classic and FZ5 was followed into pits by two RAC. The two RAC pushed the FZ5 over the pit entry line and made it have a drive through.

Patch X32 end of SO6 Pitlane - looks funky.

Quote from R34GTR :

I just finally decided to give the new AI a run, and I must say, WOW, they are so much faster, I couldn't keep up with them on some combos. Excellent work Scawen

No kidding... guess whos having offline fun

Quote from Priidik :

What happens now with my demo drifting team. Everyone dosen't have s2 licence, so , now i have to quit lfs ?
This is my favourite game, one reason ise reality, another drifting. We drift with formel now ?
/me is very mad and sad.

Is this your favourite game or your favourite demo of a game? Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say.

When you have LFS game or the CMX Viewer open and you open the other one the program you open says: "Warning: another instance of LFS is already running". Now I would get why this message would come up with opening two game windows, but is this needed if the game window and cmx viewer are used simultaneously?

Quote from zak_mull :

If they want a break why dont they just miss the next race (its only short)

I don't know. It takes a couple of "everyone press restart" and "come on, lets race" messages to get the vote ball rolling. otherwise people would just sit around forever. Tired of being the person who wants to get people to race.

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Because after a 30 minute race it's nice to get a chance to rest your arms, get a drink, take a leak, etc. If you're driving 8 lap races in the XRG, using only two pedals, shifting with the paddles, etc. it's no big deal. But when you're doing longer races, using all three pedals, and rowing your own gears, racing can get damn tiring!

That's fine. I'm talking about the 4 lap servers. Sry for not being specific. I can understand if its 15 laps or more.

I don't know... It takes a while for the race to get restarted with a huge field... Way-way too long. I dunno what... people want to have a 5-10 minute brake between the races!?!?!? WHY!?

ISSUE:

The car skin download screen is unreadable. The text and background are the same color. Make the text black!?

QUESTION:

The car does not have a speed limiter. Is this intentional?

SUGGESTION:

Current situation: In single player menu you have "Pit stop required:" and options "yes/no"

I suggest the following options: "no/1/2/3" ...at least up to three please

In other words: could we force more than one pitstop in the single player race, please?

How it could work: left click to increse number of pitstops, right click to reduce. Or use arrows.

In real life: ALMS (not all races) and DTM have used two forced pitstops during the last years.

No, they are in a different folder now and you have to change the prefixes also.

hushhh, don't give it all away.


They are in a new folder. It should be called "setups" dunno about prefixes. Havent even been able to start downloading yet... Someone posted a rapidshare link, which is generous. However, rapidshare sucks major azz. "Get your own Premium-account now! Instant download-access! (Or wait 47 minutes)" :bananadea

Could someone be so nice and make a torrent for the patch? The link does not work (server issue)

Quote from spankmeyer :

Or in case you stall your car in pit box, a primitive dog sprite raises from the bottom of the screen to laugh at you?

Quote from joen :

It's funny how some people on the boards are talking about how LFS needs to make bigger steps because the competition will beat them, and in the future PC's will be faster, more will be possible, etc.
The fact is that people have been saying this for years, yet noone or nothing has delivered. Drivers Republic: canned. nKPro: no explanation needed. rFactor: still crap, outdated technology. I don't see a big change in that in the upcoming years.

How about the iRacing project? Same people working on it as with the Nascar and GPL. They look serious too.

EDIT: PLUSS... we got that racing legends project that's being worked on

Quote from LFSn00b :

All i miss are the pedals

Yeah, but you is neva gonna see the pedals in the game itself...

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

I did twice! I dont need the 7-zip program since it should selfextract just as LFS patches. But it does not..weird.

Then it is strange... Have you tried hitting your computer with a wrench?
