Hey Scawen,

During our last endurance event we bumped into several problems by being limited with server slots. We couldn't for one have reserve drivers, or, drivers about to take over on the server at the same time as the currently driving one, due to running out of server slots clearly.

Now I understand it to some degree as bandwith and max cars on track should be taken into account.


Now I had an idea on how you, could possibly make a new slot system, so that not just drivers, but also league staff, spotters, spectators, etc have their own place on the server and not disturb the race or driver slots.


1. Spectator slots
- Spectator slots should give anyone with or without password (depending on how you set it up or want it) access to spectate inside the server, but without the physical ability to be there. A bit like the Steam/CSGO GOTV system, you connect to a relay, a bit like LFS remote, but you are actually in the server, able to use the different camera's, custom cams and aswell as view different cars and tyres etc, etc.

Basically anything a current spectator can do, but without the ability to join and without taking a driver slot.

2. Admin-specator slots
- Admin-spectator slots, should give the same as above, BUT with a semi-physical prescence on the server, use admin commands, chat, etc. But again, not able to join in with a car thus not taking a driver slot
- This could benefit streamers/broadcasters like Sim Broadcasts, as well as race direction and stewarding during live events.


3. Spectator slots 2.0
- With spectator slots as an option, you can allow much more people to watch any race, or pickup race as they please, this can be a lot of fun when u just want to watch races like now on AA Multiclass, I really enjoy watching these races, or maybe I want to spectate a non-broadcasted league race of my teammate.
- Give spectators the option to save the replay of what they've seen just like we can now with a driver slot.



This should really benefit a lot of aspects in LFS league racing and even fun racing.

My project after 1,5 month of blood, sweat and tears and especially a lot of passion into it.

Team Rock Racing is back, and stronger as ever.
Taking on the Live for Speed sim racing world.

Founded in 2003 by Walter "cholover7" Lemmens, we are still going strong in 2020.

Thanks to all of our amazing drivers, their passion, dedication and friendship means the world!

Love to receive constructive feedback.

And a few more:
Fern Bay Cadet (FE11):


Fern Bay Cadet Reversed (FE11R):


Fern Bay Silver Alternative (FE22):

Second one, tricky one as Start is not Finish and therefor not part of the .pth file technically!

Kyoto North (KY21):



*Updated with altenative layout by Adebayor of KY21 for better camera coverage.

Dear Star Alliance,

Thank gosh Bean0's host is still up!


This one is as easy as load the car model, load the skin, set the camera and scene and render!


Hope you'll have use of it

Does anyone PLEASE have this kit for me, I been searching my arse off. But can't find it. Hope someone still has it...

I would love for several skins to be rendered for me. I searched my arse off for the Blender kit, with ready to render files, but seems to be lost on the internet...

So would someone be so lovely to make some epic renders with these skins, thank you!

Quote from paceman :

You are getting me wrong. I have my own previews because i used to be a skinner. I used previews of my own skins in LFS2 10 years ago. See attachments. At that time, You placed a pic of every car (x_FZR.jpg for example) in the data/pic folder. But it doesnt work anymore. I think the functionality has changed. Now I have no idea how to get my old own previews back in the game... TY4 reading

Try this one I quickly reproduced your old garage background, probably not 100% accurate on spot. But it will work if u manually place a car pic on the defaulf x_CARS.jpg


Also ingame preview attached.

This is because this is now called x_CARS.jpg as attached.

Apparantly I need to notice there was a second pace to this post lol.


Anyways. If you'd combine all your x_car.jpgs to place on the correct spot on the x_CARS.jpg as one file, it should work.

I have been part of the dSk team before, experienced from 2005-2009, did also 40+ skins, would be interested to reactivate and develop my lfs skills again in a team, german language preferred, english absolutely ok

paceman, I am highly interested.
I'm the founder of Team Rock Racing, we host one of the bigger leagues in LFS at the moment, as well as soon to host the first proper endurance race in LFS in a while.

We also have a team of drivers, mixed skills, but all friendly and a warm group of people.

You're more then welcome to come back from a 10 year absence to get back into it with our little group.

Only problem is, you don't accept private messages, hence the reply.


We mainly do league and event racing, but fun meetings in-game with the team also happen at times. There's no pressure to perform or to even attend any events, as long as you feel good inside the group we are all happy.


Let me know if a warm welcoming group sounds like something you'd like.

Also, currently I am doing the teamskins or the team, maybe you could indeed re-develop those skills and if you like take over that task.

We are not German, mainly Dutch, 2 Polish and a Bulgarian. Aber: Ich liebe die Deutsches sprache.

An informational as well as promotional series about and for Live for Speed

In this first episode we explore and show the track environment of Rockingham inside the LFS racing simulator game.

Every layout of each track environment is driven around by the TEST DRIVER (an AI for this episode).

As well as every layout variation has it's own introduction and small little story.


I hope to receive a lot of feedback from current LFS drivers. As I want to represent LFS as best as possible.


Next up is the Blackwood environment, feel free to submit idea's for stories about each variation of the Blackwood Circuit.

First of all let me make clear that the original creator of this software is Soeren Scharf and the original topic is here:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/14147-LFS-TV-Director%2C-Release-0-3

Now with that out of the way, let me introduce what I have packed/combined/made:

I guess most league racers and especially the hosts and streamers remember and might still use Soeren Scharf's TV Director 0.3. As it is a very well aged program, with minor efforts even working on the new Westhill V2, Blackwood V3 and Rockingham.


The original program comes without much content, and content as in .cam files and up to date .pth files are spread all over. Since LFS is still relevant, and thus this program. I decided to make a "complete pack edition" fully functional on the current LFS version.

My personal "patchnotes" for this special edition:

10.01.2020, Version 0.3 (2020 content version)
- added .pth (path) files for every current track + several open-configs
- added .cam files for every current track + several open-configs (WE4 and WE5 combo's excluded for now)
- added ALT .cam files for various tracks as well
- created simple .txt tutorial to create your own custom camera's
- created a simple .txt guide how to use open-config .pth files and how to create .cam files for them
- created a list of all .cam files included and credited original creators and editors where known


With my "Up-to-date" update package, this program can now be used on EVERY track and track combination. (apart from WE4 an WE5 combinations for now).


And eventhough it's basically TV Director 0.3 with a complete content package and some minor tutorials added. I feel we can use a new topic.

Also I would like to invite anyone to submit their newly made .cam files that are not yet in this package in this very topic. You can do so by renaming the .cam to .txt and uploading it as an attached file.


As I made a few .cam files myself, mainly for the updated and new tracks. I will soon also make posts "showing-off" each .cam file for tracks. Starting with Rockingham soon TM.


Without further uphold, the complete package is attached below as a .zip file. Simply unpack, launch, configure, connect and enjoy!



Once more all respect and credits to Soeren Scharf for this very well aged piece of software.

Quote from AeoIus :

How is this still alive Although I'm very happy it still is

It has been ages since I played LFS as I saw no development/progression after playing for years and people just left and servers were emptying. Plus I never got the knack for driving the RWD cars in LFS which really limited my options. Although I can still very clearly remember racing in Aston with the FXO GTR having the time of my life against RWD cars as my corner exits were amazing and that is still one of my fondest racing and gaming experiences

I just picked up racing again on AC after buying a new G29 wheel but the online experience so far does not compare to LFS although I am better at driving the RWD cars and am definitely in the learning stage again.

If nothing else I also need to thank ScaViEr for bringing simracing in my life as an accessible and incredibly fun experience that I still treasure.

Nice to here

Welcome back!
Then join in on the fun with the recently started LFS TRR. Championship 2020 ! It'll run the entirety of 2020 and will have livestreams from most of the races:
